Struggling out of d and into the shower at 6:30, you nage to regain the use of your limbs time to get dressed. With this newly uired athletic ability, you sprint ough the house gathering up books d papers. Reaching the bus stop in ir minutes and 38 seconds, you break ur previous record of five minutes proving that you are in fine shape. t first glance, the route from bus to ker looks like mass confusion but sistence pays off. You make it to homeroom just as the final bell rings. After homeroom, academics take over. During second hour, your concentration level is at its lowest point of the day. Following the explanation of a geometry proof, you slowly return to a conscious state. Sitting in your fourth hour class, thoughts of eclairs and glazed doughnuts invade your mind. Finally, your long-awaited lunch hour arrives. As the last hour of the day begins, you find that staying up until 12:00 the night before resulted in an A on your algebra test. This establishes the fact that you are mentally in fine shape. Charlie Chaplin he's not, but Mr. John Sanders tries to prove his point concerning the teacher's contract at a teacher's rally. The teachers agreed to a new contract in late October. was so nervous I thought I was going to die! . Jim Bates attempts to garner votes from his freshmen classmates. He was defeated however, in an extremely tight race for the presidency of the freshman class. The Daily Grind 3 FREEDOM! What is there to do after school? As the 2:30 bell rings, signalling the end of another school day, you analyze all the things you have to do and set up a time schedule. After stuffing your books in the locker, you hurry to a Science Club meeting (Chess Club, pompette practice, etc.). In order to stick to your demanding schedule, you sacrifice your dinner so you can finish your homework before going out of town for the weekend. Just as well, as you are planning to go on a diet anyway. Working until 8:00, you make it to Whitesell Field at 8:15 to watch the homecoming game against Bloomington. Standing side by side with alumni, you cheer on the Maroon and White. At halftime, the class floats are judged, determining the winner of the Spirit Jug. Whether the Vikings win or lose, you decide to celebrate at Godfathers. Here goes your diet. Despite so little time, you manage to get everything done to remain in fine shape. Practice makes perfect.

As planned, I went to the cinema but instead of seeing On Golden Pond, I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show Can I take the car tomorrow night? With a look that says, Don't ask for anything until Christmas, you persuade your mom to let you go out the next night. Cruising down Main Street, you stop at Burger King before going to lllini Skateland. Finding ways to fill up your leisure time doesn't pose a problem. In the fall, Friday nights mean football games with pizza afterwards. Winter signals the time for ice skating at the Civic Center or tobogganing at Harrison Park. Spring fever hits with the thought that school will soon be over. Spelling relief, summer arrives, and the annoying buzz of an alarm clock is no longer heard at 6 a.m. Another year completed IN FINE SHAPE! Student Life Divider 7 Todd Hyland stuffs a banana in his mouth to win the contest for the juniors. Expression of these seniors demonstrates strain and fun of tug-of-war. Absolute Revelry Spirit Week Have you ever had a day when you've really felt like letting your hair down or painting it blue or just plain being your punk-rockin' self ? Spirit Week meant different things to different people. I think Spirit Week is a nice change; it gives us a chance to break away from our everyday routine, said freshman Michelle Rhodes. Although breaking away from our everyday routine was part of Spirit Week, unity played another major part. I like Spirit Week because everyone joins in and wants to participate, commented another student. During the week, many activities took place: sweatsuit day, limbo contest, punk-rock day, banana-eating contest, twin-clown day, maroon and white day, and the annual tug-of-war. The seniors, victorious in the week's activities with 965 points were closely followed by the juniors with sophomores and freshman finishing third and fourth, having 424 and 420 points, respectively. Constructing floats made Homecoming unique. Capturing first place honors was the junior class with Small Town Spirit, Big City Pride . A smile from ear to ear verifies Isabella Coelho's thoughts about some of the costumes during Punk Rock day. 8 Spirit Week Chris Collins begins to transform Dan Glover from a normal student into a punk rocker. Spirit Week 9 Coming Home Viking Spirit filled the air as everyone was getting rowdy for the Homecoming festivities. It was the first autumn chill, and over 3,000 people filled the stands at Whitesell Field to cheer on the Danville Vikings during their Homecoming game against Bloomington which Danville lost 14-7. Halftime activities included the Band of Vikings, the Pompettes, the show- The winning float glows with the juniors' originality at the parade during the Homecoming football game. ing of the floats decorated by each of the classes, and the 1982-83 Homecoming Court. Court members included freshmen attendants Tia Ingrum and Anne Berg; sophomore attendants Michelle Collier and LaDell Howard; junior attendants Bobra Crockett and Brenda Crose; senior attendants Diann Mariage, Stephanie Wagner; and the 1982-83 Homecoming queen Mary Neeley who was crowned by last year's queen Carolyn Foster. Rain did try to put a damper on the annual festivities, but the Vikings didn't let it. The annual Homecoming dance, sponsored by the Student Council, was held Saturday, October 16, in the boys' gym. Couples danced to the music of Freeway from 8-11 p.m. Mary Neeley looks to former queen Carolyn Foster, who steps forward to crown her as the 1982 Homecoming Queen at the allschool assembly on Friday morning. Steve Forthenberry losing his balance, disappoints the Sophomore class. 10 Homecoming Winning 6th hour lunch for the juniors, Todd Borgwald displays his expertise at limbo. Representing the seniors, Jerry Depratt hops vigorously toward the finish line in the Spirit Week sack race. Before the crowning, Mary Neeley looks on to the pleased crowd. The Homecoming procession leads to the stage as everyone watches the freshman attendant Anne Berg approach. Homecoming 11 Watch out! You may get splotched by dripping paint. As August drew to a close, painters could be seen putting the finishing touches on D.H.S. walls. It's That Time Of Year Back To School Oh No! It just can't be August 30 already! This was the feeling of almost everyone when it came time to go back to school and do away with sleeping in until noon, watching All My Children , General Hospital , and many other daytime soaps. Gone were the days at the pool and the nights at parties. Even cruising Main Street was no longer an every night activity. Now, with school back in session, nights were spent with one thing — books! Everyone went about getting ready for the school year in his own way. After dusting off the bookcases, teachers could be found preparing the dreaded ditto, devising seating charts, finding just the right books, and decorating their rooms. As fall approached, painters put the finishing touches of new color on the hallways. Students got ready for the school year in many different ways, too. There were new clothes to buy, as well as notebooks and pencils. And that was just the beginning! Then you had to pay book rental ($22.00) and towel fee ($2.00), buy a lock ($2.50) and student I.D. card ($.25). Once school started, some students had to add a little zip to the normally drab lockers by decorating them with pictures of friends, idols or even themselves! As school got into full swing, kids seemed to fall into a pattern of daily events ... only to be broken again by summer vacation. Before August 30, English teacher Mrs. Koerner arrives at school with a poster pertaining to the new homework policy. Finding just the right spot for each student, Mrs. Hix readies herself for the onslaught of the first day when approximately 100 sophomores, juniors, and seniors will converge upon Room 306. 12 Back To School Watch your step! Cluttered halls were seen at D.H.S. in August as the school received a much-needed facelift. Protecting photos of famous athletes past, a painter is set to give the hall a new look. Gathering his books for the morning, Jeff Williams is ready to face a another school day. Back To School 13 Working the drive-up window at Arby's, senior Mike Long prepares a milkshake for a customer. Brenda Masters blends into the surroundings of the Curiosity Shoppe. Not an exciting job, but taking inventory is an important part of Craig Estepp's job at K's Merchandise Mart. Jim Zarn fills a cup with a popular soft drink while he works his shift at a fast-food restaurant. 14 After School Jobs Minimum Wage Blues Hard At Work Hi! Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order please? Is there anything I can help you with today? Regular or Unleaded? With an approximate unemployment rate of 19.6 percent, Danville's economy was less than good. Students felt lucky to have an after school job. Said one student, If you don't have experience, you can't get a good paying job. Another commented, Gas prices are high, and my parents change purses are low. I think I'll stick with school and grades. You can get a better -paying job with a higher education, said yet another student. Some after school jobs held by students included Dan Glover, Patty Beres-ford, and Jim Zarn at Taco Gringo; Louisa Tam, Dragon Inn; Karen Hoover, Commercial-News; Brenda Masters, Curiosity Shoppe; Donna Sherrill, Burger King; Craig Estepp, K's Merchandise Mart. With the money students earned from their after school jobs, some made car payments, saved for college, or just spent it on whatever happened to come along. One thing was evident, though. Students who had after school jobs usually counted themselves lucky to have the job and extra cash. $2.07 is your change. Thank You and please come again. Tacos and enchiladas prepared especially by Patty Beresford can be purchased at Taco Gringo. After School Jobs 15 Tracy Rodman serves Pal Taylor with a smile as she rings up the bill in the men's department at Meis. Burning A Hole In Your Pocket Loose Change I'll take two offf-um . . .

For a tire repair??? No sir, for a new tire. There was just no doubt about it. The answers to how kids spent their money were lingering among us. In the store, at the arcade, movie theater, vending machine, and even at an auto body shop, one could hear it and see it everywhere!!! This person certainly got his money's worth, but now he'll have to make a costly replacement. Eric Schultz pops a 50 t fundraising candy bar into his mouth before he is caught eating by his teacher. 16 How Kids Spent Their Money Senior Laura Shanks ponders over whether to buy the pink blouse with the lace or the striped blouse. Both hang on a display rack at Meis. Randi Barnes and Jackie French chow down during 6th hour lunch at the all-famous Royal Donut.

Susan Meyer encourages students Kenna Van Duyn, Paula Byerly, Amy Burton, and Kathy Clark as they warm up before their dance class at College Street Dance Center. 18 Hobbies Time For ME “What are you doing this weekend? As the 2:30 dismissal bell rang each Friday, many students turned to exciting, interesting activities. Gettirfg away from the daily grind was an important part of student life. Weekends are special. It's the only real time that I have for me. I desperately need that time away from the books! exclaimed Kari Patterson. Time for me was spent dancing, jumping out of airplanes, skiing on Lake Vermilion, participating in dirt bike races, and playing the guitar. Still others enjoyed the luxury of plopping down in front of the TV set, munching a bag of potato chips and slurping a can of Pepsi. This was a great comfort to most students. Weekend pigouts were anticipated by many. Hobbies 19 Jeff Autor and Mark Browning ing cans as they stand proudly in explain why they started collect- their room of wall to wall cans. The cans are arranged in front of a window instead of curtains. Rainbows are the new fad for some people, one of which is Ginger Hillard. 20 Prized Possessions Dear To Your Heart . . . For Matthew, Mark, and Jeff, it was cans. For Jackie, it was alligators. And what was it for you? What was YOUR prized possession? In 1982 people had different kinds of collections, but some people's collections were more than just that; some were real treasures! Matthew and Mark Browning, along with Jeff Autor, had been collecting pop cans for three years and accumulated over 400 different cans. They even obtained cans from Canada and Puerto Rico. Freshman Jackie Sollers collected alligators. Said Jackie, I am not a conformist. If I were, I would collect cats, strawberries, butterflies, or something common. Since I am not a conformist I like to collect alligators because they deviate from the normal. In addition to Jackie, freshman Ginger Hillard collected rainbows to brighten her room. Stuffed animals, rare coins, pennants, comic books ... What was dear to your heart? Prized Possessions 21 Robert Stewart, Randy Davis, and Penny Hodrick shoot the breeze about one of the latest crazes-leg warmers. Leg warmers have gone from the legs of dancers to the legs of many D.H.S. students. Michele Songer and Jeff Archer are ready for a night on the town while displaying the tuxedo attire. Before the bell, Elaine O'Bannon and Beth Mason exhibit the extremes in fashion: a skirt and a blazer vs jeans and a sweatshirt. 22 Fads and Fashions Fashion Parade Preppy? Western? Casual? Sophisticated? Which one described you? Many students and teachers mirrored these different styles. The “prep was dressed in Izod shirts, cheeno pants, and the casual deck shoe (of course with no socks!) For the Western look you would have worn close fitting Levi jeans, cowboy boots, a western shirt, vest, and the ever popular cowboy hat. The casual look started with knickers, a sweater, knee high socks, and loafers. For the sophisticated look, some dressed themselves in a skirt with a slit, a silk blouse, and a matching blazer. For the guys, fashions were a little more dressy for the prep including blazers, sweaters, vests, and wool pants. For the casual look, he would wear jeans and a sweater tied around the shoulders. A three piece suit with a tie would complete the sophisticated look. Logo's were also very important to some with Jordache, Gloria Vander-built. Chic, and the ever popular Calvin Klein. Shirts were insigniated with the dragon, fox, penguin, and of course, the alligator by Izod. Some students just could not be seen without the name brand logo; others could have cared less. See you later, alligator! Sporting the preppy look with boat shoes, oxford shirt, and a loosely worn Izod sweater. Senior Tony Smith shuffles through an L.L. Bean Catalogue. Just a fad? Friendship pins decorated boat shoes as well as Nikes, displaying the spread of the latest craze. Jenny Perzee goes for the preppy look, as Miss Parish chooses to be sophisticated. Fads and Fashions 23 Trina Bankhead, Tiffany Der-rickson, and Joyce Gouard share a secret between classes. Welcome, let's be friends! While the new foreign exchange student, Roberto, opens the tee-shirt given to him at the A.F.S. Tea, Terry Lyons stuffs his face with cake. 24 Being Friends Studying can be done anywhere. Renee Lyman and Cher Holmes hit the books before tennis practice. Are you serious? Kelly Keerns and Veronica Martin gossip as Stacey Kitchen shares a joke with a friend. Through Thick And Thin Being Friends He said what?! Everyone needs someone to confide in or just to talk with. Being a friend meant many things! It meant someone to share your days with, either good or bad; someone you could trust with all your secrets, hopes, and ambitions. When you found someone with all of these characteristics, you have found a friend!! While not everyone gossiped (or admitted to it), gossip was an important part of many people's lives. It was their way of finding out the facts about other people. It was rumored that some people at D.H.S. actually accepted gossip as the truth!!!! Dear Abby, Stacey Kitchen writes a letter to a friend while waiting for class to start. Being Friends 25 Sophomore Ron Hulvey starts in on his sandwich with his friends Carrie George and J.R. Hensley close at hand. After finishing the main course, Ron Hulvey helps himself to Carrie George's potato chips. Brian Smith spends time at Roberto Mazorriago's house to play Atari and have a good time. During their lunch hour, Missie Riesinger and a group of her friends hang-out at Golden Tower. 26 Hang-Outs A group of juniors gather around the water fountain on the Village Mall before seeing Airplane 2. Hang-Out Zone Picture yourself in this situation: You're home alone. It's dark and gloomy. There's dishes to be done. While you sit in your chair peering out into the darkness, something unusual happens and your conscience takes over! “Hey! You've been home all week. Don't you think you deserve a break today? That's it! You're mind snaps; you're no longer in control. You've just become a victim of the Hang-Out zone. Students expressed their feelings on the best places to be. For Senior Kenny Brandon, the best place to be was in the weight room. However, Senior Terry Moore stated that, Being with my friends on the mall is an exciting start to any weekend! Merrit Earl and Scott Burton take a night out on-the-town starting off at the movies. Hang-Outs 27 Waiting for the end of an act. Brad Watkins, Russell Kile, and Kathy Clark are ready to make a scene change. Pulling the sets into place is a big effort for Shelly Black, Jennifer Coberley, and Merrit Earl, as they get ready for the last rehearsal before the show. 28 Backstage Lights . Camera Action! Backstage Hand me those cans of paint. I need to give this set another coat. Laboring from 2:30-9:30 each night, the backstage crew of Joseph built and painted sets, gathered props, sewed costumes, aimed lights, and rehearsed scores of music. During the two weeks preceding the performances, the 35 to 50 crew members were rarely found at home. Why would anyone give Darrell Huff gets a hair job between scenes for his Elvis performance. up so many evenings??? Stated Bob Colby of the lighting crew, I enjoyed being part of the show instead of just being in the audience. Jeff Autor, sound crew member, added, The enjoyment of seeing the show go well is the best part of doing any show. Crew members participated for many reasons, but one of the best was, I just can't sing! Backstage 29 The follow-through is the key — John Dossey perfects his place-kicking technique at football practice. Practice makes perfect for freshman band members as they perform in concert. Groundwork Have you ever experimented with a recipe? You know — a dash of this, a pinch of that!? Yet something still didn't seem quite right about the dish! It just didn't have the touch that mom gave it. Well, the touch” was probably practice. Practice is a major ingredient in any recipe. Whether the recipe is used in the kitchen, on the football field, in the music room, or in the art room, practice makes perfect. Said track and volleyball participant Joan Young, If you fail to practice, you fail to achieve. Through the years, Mr. Practice has received a bad rating. Not only has practicing been associated with boredom! It's received major re- views in the yawning, grunting and, last but not least, groaning sections in our lives. One has to realize, however, that through all the practicing we do, the end result is usually amazing. Junior Mike Small spent an average of four hours each day practicing his golf techniques. Remarked Mike, I enjoy practicing. You should try to be as good as you possibly can be. If you fail to practice, you don't get worse, but you don't get better either. So, the next time you're in the kitchen, and your dish doesn't turn out quite the way you wanted it to, don't give up! Practice! In time you'll make it perfect. Tuning up for a Monday morn- Marla Davis perform their warming practice, Randi Barnes and up exercises. 30 Practicing Kevin Hall improves muscle tone on the weight machine in preparation for track season. Practicing a little bit of everything, the pompettes prepare to dazzle the fans at the next home game. Practicing 31 For seniors, graduating is one of the hardest yet best times in their lives. 32 Good Times Mr. Rottmann gives a senior, Carl Paris, some advice for his career. When the bell tolls at 2:30 p.m., students rush home to kick off their shoes and have a good time. Remember When Your high school years are the most important years of your life. True to form, this cliche had its roots embedded in your mind through its overuse by your parents. Not only were these years the most important; they were the most funl From eyeing the clock suspiciously every few minutes until it rang at 2:30 to throwing up your cap at graduation, the good times shone through from your freshman to senior years. Prom was an unforgettable experience for most. Buying a dress or renting a tuxedo, you had the task of buying a corsage or boutonniere to match, not to mention the hours of preparation in order to get that perfect look! All in all, it was worth it. Besides Prom, the Homecoming dance highlighted the fall with dinner at a restaurant and the dance itself. To me, slow dancing at Prom and Homecoming are the good times, emphasized Mike Costello. Good times ranged from seeing a movie, going to a party, or cruising. For Junior David Slifer, Good times to me is being with my real friends whom I care about and who care about me. The most important thing in high school is having as many good times as you possibly can, remarked Junior Jon Bau-met. Kathy Taylor and Mike Kidwell pose for a picture — keepsake to remember their time at prom. Good Times 33 Definitely not on a diet, at least not anymore, Brian Smith and Terry Lyons chow down on cheeseburgers at McDonald's. In order to fit into her pompette uniform, Gina Moore sticks to her diet by not eating lunch. 145 pounds! What else can I take off? Tallying It All Up To Make You Perfect! felt that by dieting, “My Dreaming of a hot fudge sundae? A deep pan pizza with extra cheese? Big Mac? Candy bars? French fries? These everyday junk foods could be devilish temptations to the determined dieter! It has been quoted, “Nothing Stretches Slacks Like Snacks. Yet this statement could be altered in many ways because everyone diets for different reasons. For instance, Mr. Schmitt dieted because physically he wasn't feeling well, clothes were tighter, and above all, because he has a lot of selfpride. Mrs. Daugherty responded, I diet because my husband doesn't want me fat! Junior Shannon Bireline complexion is better, and I have more energy. As a result, I am healthier. Dexatrim, Diet Center, Cambridge, and Weight Watchers were just a few of the many commercial dieting methods people depended on to lose weight. Of course, you could starve yourself, eat “gerbil food , or simply follow a daily dieting plan that suited your lifestyle. Cutting back on sweets, pop, and between meal snacking tended to be the most effective weight reduction method as long as you had the willpower to stick with it. A good overall change of new eating habits proved to reduce one's caloric intake and to be the most successful technique. Burning off those extra calories by physical exertion was another way to be slim, trim, and physically fit. For Mrs. Hix, participating in dance and flexercise classes helped her to fit into her favorite pair of pants. But what about after the struggle was over and done? For Sophomore Pat Campbell, it was a celebration ... PIG OUT!!! Junior Shannon Bireline maintained her desired weight by continuing to watch what she ate, exercise, and keep her health nut disposition. Although dieting was dreaded by all, Mrs. Daugherty sought its good qualities. It's always interesting to battle with the bulge! It's like a test of willpower against yourself. 34 Dieting i 1 Mrs. Kaulig eyes the crepe as she hesitates to serve it to Fred Porcheddu. Going off her diet, Francine Webb chomps into a piece of pizza which will add another 500 calories to her daily intake. ' Carmella Hodrick, as defense counsel, cross-examines the witness. Awaiting jury deliberations, prosecuting attorney Steve Blue looks forward to the decision of a guilty verdict. Arguing with the witness, prosecuting attorney Gerald Hampton attempts to pry the truth out of the witness. Deep in thought, Scott Burton, Merritt Earl, and Kris Andrews — members of the jury - listen to both sides to determine whether the defendent is innocent or guilty. 36 Youth In Government William Anaya, acting judge, presides over the Fifth Circuit Court as Carmella Hodrick, Steve Blue, and Gerald Hampton listen to the cross-examination of a witness. Justice For All Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of a political party or, more specifically, to be a legislative representative? Learning to fit into the world of politics was a challenge for several students. The group, sponsored by the YMCA, consisted of four people: Steve Blue, Carmella Hodrick, Gerald Hampton, and Katie Monroe. Basically, you can be anything you want to be in government, commented Junior Gerald Hampton. Students involved in Youth in Government could participate in two governmental categories — the legislative branch or the judicial branch. In the legislative branch, you could be a senator, a lobbyist (who persuaded people to vote for a bill), or a page (who ran messages and errands). The judicial branch held trials in their local towns. They journeyed to Springfield February 18th, 19th, and 20th to Spring 'urt in which they ran the state during these three days. On December 9th, the students had a mock trial at the courthouse. Youth in Government just really gives a student a chance to express himself, remarked Junior Katie Monroe. Defense attorney Katie Monroe poses a question to the defendant, Larry Brewer, as jury members concentrate intently. Youth In Government 37 Selling Joseph to some Ishmael-ites, David Slifer bargains with David Ammerman. 38 Fall Play Joseph's Dreams is sung by Joseph and his brothers. Brothers include Jerry Core, Steve Beebe, Jeff Tinder, and David Slifer. Joseph gives Jacob a hug while singing Jacob and Sons. Lending an ear to Pat Taylor are other supporting actors, Robyn Briggs, Lee Cettinger, and Jerry Core. While describing his coat of many colors, Jerry Core sings Joseph's Coat. High Energy All rehearsals were high energy. Once we got going, we couldn't stop, commented Mr. James Beebe, director of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The current Broadway hit, presented by the theatre guild on November 19 and 21, captivated over 1,000 viewers. A total of 68 cast and crew members labored for seven weeks to make the production truly professional. We put in over 100 hours just on repair work — reroping the fire curtain, cleaning the stage, and so forth, said Mr. Beebe. In addition, students worked some evenings until 9:30, re- hearsing, building sets, sewing costumes, etc. There was 100% cast involvement, beamed Mr. Beebe. Parental involvement reached a peak as mothers ran errands, collected materials, cut out patterns, and made instruction sheets. Furthermore, parents assisted with publicity, props, and the cast party. Eight staff members also donated time to Joseph, a production totally charged with energy. As the final curtain descended on Sunday afternoon, cast members felt a loss. Said Lee Cettinger, I felt empty ... totally empty! Making the big transition, Darrell Huff performs Elvis while being supported by some dancers. 39 The junior varsity cheerleaders display their talents to the DHS crowd at a pep assembly. At The Sound Of The Short Bell All Together Now Mr. Thomas Lacquet graciously accepts the 1982 Teacher of the Year award. There was one thing we all loved — getting out of class, and for what better reason than an assembly!! If it wasn't for educational, fundamental, and informative purposes, then it was for a big sports competition to arouse the morale and competitive spirit of the students, who would cheer on the viking competitors. Junior Bob Colby enjoyed assemblies. They are worth our while, ex-pecially for sports players because it gives us recognition, and there is a better crowd turn out at the games. Aside from sports, Homecoming assemblies were a big part of spirit week and students' fun throughout the year. Diann Mariage stated excitedly after the assembly, I have never been so nervous, but at the same time thrilled to death. Being in front of all these people is quite an honor. Each year separate classes are called down from homerooms to discuss registration for next year. For freshman Susan Wolfla, it was a whole new thing. I enjoy assemblies, but the mass of people gives me claustrophobia; I also thought it was a good idea to have the separate classes meet instead of the whole student body. Let's all get together! Ulf Heitmuller gives a hug to Mrs. Sanders while receiving his A.F.S award on Friday at an all morning assembly. 40 Assemblies Steve Harris paints a picture in the alert minds of the students, who are impressed with his creativity. While arm in arm with Matt El-dridge and Todd Kester, Diann Mariage steps onto the stage for her recognition as Homecoming attendant. Students assemble outside to cheer on their fellow classmates during spirit week. Assemblies 41 The Scorpions perform at the Danville Civic Center during the summer of 1982.

All of these were bands that you could have listened to on the radio or on MTV. Each band had its own style of music, and all had hits during the current year. Popular music varied from New Wave to County and Western. I like to sit and listen to the radio when I'm in a J.R. Hensley plugs into his stereo for a little relaxation with the Go-Go's. down mood because it always seems to pick me up and make me smile again, Carrie Long, junior, replied. In the morning, while I'm getting ready for school, there is only one thing to do — listen to Uncle Bob (Bob Taylor of D102) and cheap thrills! said Craig Downing, freshman. Popular music could not only be heard on the radio, but on a stereo or jam box. When buying albums, 45's, or tapes, one could have spent up to $8.00 per album, $1.50 for Making up his own tune, Roy Butler borrows the piano in the choral room. Wave a 45, and $9.00 per tape. Some not only listened to popular music but also made their own by playing a musical instrument or singing. Stated Lee Gettinger, senior, I love to sing! It's the only way I know how to express my true feelings and emotions. The most common radio station listened to by students was D102 with Bob Taylor (Uncle Bob). As Uncle Bob went off the air each day, he left us with a message, Blue skies, green lights, two scoops of Jamocha Almond Fudge and much love, sunshine.

Getting your own set of keys meant different things to different people. For some, it meant controlling the set of keys on a typewriter, computer, or business machine; finding the right keys on your instrument in band or starting up the family car. Junior Elizabeth Vrentas felt that without keys to the family car, I'd walk or take up bicycling. Having the keys to his home was the first priority for Sophomore Ron Hul-vey. Being locked out of the house too many times made Ron realize at all times to carry a set of keys with him. My calculator makes math possible! Sophomore Kristin Wingo exclaimed! Students enrolled in a business course had their hands full of buttons to push and new skills to learn. Skills and techniques learned in typing classes were found useful in operating other business machines. For Junior John Fields, I transferred knowledge of typing to learning how to operate a computer effectively. Someday you might make a career out of your keys . Would you like to be a business machine operator, computer technician, or even a race car driver?? No matter what your career choice, keys could be your key to success.

Taking a break at McDonald's, Juniors Bob Colby and Julie Paxton enjoy a quiet moment together. A Look From Both Sides Just Us What if I run out of money? What if she doesn't have a good time with me? Yes, believe it or not, boys worried just as much (if not more) about dating as girls do. I worry about being able to give my date a good time, said junior Tony Cannon. I like to date girls with nice personalities, and I want to be able to get along with them. In addition, boys concern themselves with another side of the dating — the break-ups . Most of all, I worry about girls going out on me and talking about me behind my back, replied Bret Anders, senior. I want them (girls) to be sweet, cute, and outgoing. What will I wear? I want to impress him. What will we talk about?? I want to have a good time with a guy, but I also want him to be himself and like me for who I am, stated junior Elaine O'Bannon. The break-up was the hardest step for all concerned. Breaking up is hard when only one wants to break up. It can turn out to be unfair, but you have to handle it maturely, replied junior Shannon Bireline. Although you chipped off the three layers of freshly painted polish from you nails, you know that all the worry involved in dating was worth it. Besides, it was always fun to hear the front doorbell ring . .. scary but fun! Kari Don. Strolling hand in hand, Kari Runner and Don Jones occupy their time before seeing the latest movie. 46 Dating Shannon Jeff. Never at a loss for words. Shannon Bireline and Jeff Jenkins converse long into the night. Shannon and Jeff have been dating for almost two years. John Amy. Believe it or not, there are still some gentlemen around! John Dossey opens the car door for his girlfriend Amy Burton as they depart from the high school parking lot. Dating 47 Proving their height, Daryl Huff and David Slifer keep a history book from jay Tinder, who stands only 5'3 . Towering over five-foot Sophomore John Woodward, six-foot, seven-inch Ray Watson inquires about the validity of his hall pass. Looking at things from a different angle, Assistant Principal Phil Smith checks the details of Mrs. Koerner's lessons plans. 48 Being Short Homecoming attendants come in all different sizes — 47 Freshman Tia Ingrum promenades across the stage, flanked by football stars Jerry DePratt and Blake Nolan. Hindered by her 5-foot height, Kim Downing finds she needs the aid of her books to quench her thirst. Stated Kim, “When walking down the hall, I feel like a sardine! Don't Step On short People! Underfoot Height isn't everything, but when you're short, it is quite a handicap . Like all issues, there are pros and cons. Ask any person on the street to name some of the disadvantages of being short, and you'll probably hear the following: It's hard to reach high places; You are subject to constant joking; You have to get front row seats if you plan to actually watch a movie. Aside from the obvious drawbacks. Sophomore Patrick Campbell, who measures up to 5'1 , added his own opinion, People take you for granted. They act like if you're short, you don't have the mental and physical ability of the average Joe Shmoe . Taking a humorous approach, five foot Senior Russ Kile explained how his height hindered him from making plans. I was going to try out for basketball, but I didn't want to give the coach a heart attack from laughing too hard. Instead, I chose to be the manager, but I had to quit that also because the players just didn't look up to me . Short people do have the upper hand at times. Junior Jay Tinder standing at 5'3 stated, I can get into the movies for $1.50, and I look younger than what I really am . Senior Robin Lindsay admitted, If you're short, you can date any guy no matter how tall or short he is; if you're tall, and date a short guy, you'd really look awkward . It doesn't bother me to be teased by my friends; it's just a sign of affection, said Sophomore Christine Wolfla. Of course, short people have trouble with their feet touching the floor, but they don't have as far to fall. As Russ Kile put it, If you're tall enough to reach the ground, you're tall enough.

Hensley finds a way to relieve his boredom. 50 Grounded! Homework, the unheard of chore on a Friday night, is now common place for Robert Stewart. When he isn't practicing his slam dunk, Phil Haussy Busts Suds for breaking his curfew. Clipped Wings Was there ever a time when you came home past the curfew set by your parents and tried sneaking in the house without getting caught? Many students could answer this question with a resounding, Yes! The outcome was usually getting grounded. If you have ever been in this situation, you know that getting grounded can really put a damper on your social life. With boredom at its peak, you found yourself resorting to studying next week's assignments or being sentenced to household chores. For upperclassmen, being grounded meant No Car Keys. Freshmen and sophomores usually found themselves watching the tube or eating potato chips while listening to their stereo. Without a phone and no chance to be with friends, fun was out of the question. Why such inhumane punishment? Reasons varied from household to household. I get grounded for not doing homework and not doing the housework when I should. I can't have any visitors or calls. I sit around until mom leaves, and then I find myself on the phone, laughed freshman Dawn Colby. As you get older, there's also a tendency to come home later, either with a date or after a night out with your parents' car. I get grounded for coming home late and for being sassy to mom, admitted junior Shelly Van Leer. I always try to get out of being grounded. I only get grounded from the television. I just listen to my stereo to keep me company, remarked freshman Susan Paxton. You name it; I'm grounded for it, commented Senior Brenda Masters. When I get grounded, I sit in my room, listen to the radio, write letters, and I iron my straight prison clothes. You've probably experienced that being a groundee wasn't worth the risk, and you kept thinking to yourself, I'll be home next weekend on time! Grounded! 51 People in the rain. Early February held nothing to enjoy except rain, rain, and more rain! Unpredictable Mother Nature Winter Fun The alarm clock rings. You drag your weary body out of bed and peer anxiously through the window curtains. Darn, you mutter to yourself. No snow. Winter in central Illinois ... it's so unpredictable. For the past few years, students delighted to the words, And now for the list of school closings ... January and Febuary's ice and snow gave students and teachers alike a few extra days of leisure. Commented Sophomore Warren Chestnut, I wish we had a few snow days . . . I could sleep late. Unlike the past, this January gave students no relief. One early dismissal day, January 21, was all that Mother Nature afforded us. No white Christmas. No snow! Despite the absence of that fluffy white stuff, during the early winter months, students found many ways to pass the time. When it snows a lot my friends and I like to play football. It's more of a challenge in the snow, admitted Freshman Dennis Cheesman. Unpredictable! Rain one day; snow the next. Jeff Currier and Marlissa Shuey can hardly control their excitement SNOW!

Winter Fun 53 Taking a break, Mr. Chase and family enjoy the Fall Festival. New Optimism How could downtown Danville be saved? The answer: a new Towne Center, which would revitalize the downtown area with new jobs, new businesses, and a new optimism. The center, scheduled to be completed in the spring of 1983, would contain offices, a department store, a supermarket, a pharmacy, a parking garage, and several other businesses. Governor James Thompson visited the Vermilion County Airport, where he announced to a large crowd that Danville would be the site of a new, medium security prison. The prison, along with providing immediate construction jobs, would create hundreds of openings for permanent jobs. As the area economy was improving, so were the health services. Both Lakeview Medical Center and Saint Elizabeth's Hospital were in the process of improving their facilities, with additions of both new buildings and more modern equipment to better serve the people of the Danville area. With the support of his family and Steve Miller, Gov. Thompson explains how a new minimum security prison will improve Danville's economic climate. 54 Community The new Towne Center provides many construction jobs. Arriving at the Vermilion County airport, Governor Thompson announces Danville as the site of the new state prison before a crowd of 200 excited area residents. Lakeview Medical Center's new office building entrance is completed in the fall of 1982. Community 55 PEOPLE In about three minutes, we will be dismissing you by floors to proceed to the boy's gym for today's pep assembly. Working your way through the crowd in the first floor hall, you hear the band playing The Fight Song and the cheerleaders yelling Co Vikings as you near the gym. Trying to find a seat in your section, you realize there is only standing room left. Positioning yourself on the stairs, you join the enthusiastic crowd cheering for the Vikings at the first basketball pep assembly. The crowd rises to its feet stomping, clapping, and yelling as the Vikings run through the arch to take the floor. As you watch the display of talent by the players as they practice their slam dunks, the noise level becomes louder. Resident morale booster and head of the English Department, Mr. John Sanders, leads the chant Yes we can. Through the support and enthusiasm of the people, the Vikings prove they can remain IN FINE SHAPE. People Divider 57 Mrs. AUyne Anderson — Amer. Lil. T-1, Creal.

Moonlighting R-R-R-Ring . . . the sound of the end of a long, hard day of school, but for some teachers it's the time for moonlighting. Many teachers seek out second jobs for the obvious reason — the need for money. John Barker, a chemistry teacher, has taken a part time job as an automotive mechanic at Sears for the past 11 years. He started out changing 110 tires a day, but he now works on tune-ups and installs stereos. He likes teaching better mainly because he says, It is cleaner, quieter, and I like the interaction between students. Unlike Mr. Barker, Jackie Lewis has a second teaching job at Danville Area Community College for the fun of it. She teaches basic micro-computers. She, too, enjoys teaching at Danville High School better, but she states, I like having this extra job as mental rehabilitation from the ever- yday monotonous schedule. This is the first year Mrs. Lewis has taught at the college, but thinks she will continue as long as she is needed. Al Green has spent over 16 years of his leisure time as a pastor of Second Baptist Church. He likes working with people. I want to share with students experiences of the real world. Teaching is just an extension of my ministry. Drawing a passage from the Bible, Reverend Green completes his inspirational sermon. 58 Faculty Giving indivdualized attention to each student, Mrs. Lewis instructs a micro-computer class at DACC.

Mr. LeCount averages about an hour a week flying, but flies in the spring and summer. He also collected two antique cars .. . Where is the last place you would look for a math teacher? If you guessed working out on nautilus at the Four Seasons, you were right. This is exactly where you could find Mrs. Carolyn Grant three times a week. Mrs. Grant enjoys nautilus. She said, You can never be totally in shape. You can always improve and work toward a goal to strive for something better. Once you start working out you must continue. She finds it more fun to go with a companion. Mrs. Grant has never gotten seriously hurt, but she complains about the soreness after her workouts. Often found on country roads hidden under a helmet is Mrs. Joyce Lopez. She rides motorcycles. Mrs. Lopez has been interested in motorcycling for ten years and has owned one for four years.

Mr. Butikas mingles through the class at the end of the period to catch up on the latest gossip. 62 Faculty Teachers Tell How It Was To Be Greenies Yes, it is true! Those who educated us were once inexperienced. They admitted their moments of fear and confession: There I was fresh out of college, ready to start the new teaching job, but I received no text books for the first six weeks of class. When I walked into the classroom for the first time, I asked if anyone felt he should not be in there and everyone raised his hand. — Mr. Butikas Mrs. Kaulig taught six different classes her first year. Teaching all of these classes caused her a lot of extra work drawing up her lesson plans. I once taught a whole class with the wrong lesson plans! The sad part is that none of my students noticed. Upon taking over for another teacher, Mrs. Starkey experienced some harmless, but disruptive student pranks. One class decided to do something different each day, such as all standing up or turning around in their seats, at an agreed time. Instead of punishing the students, Mrs. Starkey decided to do what the students did. The result was a little break for everyone! Although she may have been a CREENIE, Mrs. Howerton is now an experienced teacher as she is in her 42nd year of teaching. She began teaching the Amish who drove to school in horse and buggy and had a special dress code. The teacher was the sole authority then. When the teacher spoke, no one questioned her. There is more freedom in teaching today. — Mrs. Howerton An impatient student falls asleep as Mrs. Howerton glances through his papers. Mr. Butikas, Mr. LeCount, Dr. Esslinger, and Mrs. Kaulig get reacquainted as they enjoy refreshments at a faculty meeting in October. Faculty 63 Tin Grins Hey metal mouth! When do you get your railroad tracks off? If you were a freshman who was unfortunate enough to bear a mouthful of tin, no doubt this was one of the names you have been called throughout the year. The worst thing about braces is not being able to chew gum. If you do, it gets really sticky and gross; if you blow a bubble it gets stuck in all your front teeth and that takes all day to get out — What a pain! exclaimed Kiran Rakalla, freshman. Pat Smith thought that getting his braces tighened was the worst thing. After I go to the orthodontist, I can't eat or sleep for about 24 hours because of the pain. Also voted one of the least favorite things about wearing braces was rubber bands. Though these have been a bother, just about everyone agreed that they were good for something — getting the attention of a classmate across the room. Ron Wingo shows off his tin grin, while often complaining abo how gum gets stuck in his braces.

A Novice! You could always spot a freshman immediately by the following clues: 1. Freshmen went right to their homerooms after their morning stop at their lockers, while the other classes spent the few minutes before homeroom socializing with friends and roaming the halls. 2. Freshmen ran to their classes carrying all of their books. Possibly they thought they were only allowed four minutes for passing time as in their middle school. 3. After games, freshmen headed for Pizza or Putt-Putt, while the elder classes dashed to a party. 4. On the first day of school, freshmen waited in line for elevator passes and tried to find their classes on the fourth floor. 5. Freshmen went up the up stairs and down the down stairs and walked on the right side of the hall. But through all the trouble and the criticism, the class of 1986 was IN FINE SHAPE!!

During the first week, a lost freshman was an ordinary sight. Some of the Vikings couldn't believe the change from middle school to high school. Quoted one freshman, There are so many rooms and hallways. This is so much bigger than my middle school. I still find myself asking for directions. Diane Garrison displays a look of confusion while looking for her 4th hour class. With the help of upperclassmen, teachers, and a good memory, freshmen began to fit into the routine of quick passing periods and high school life. Although they hated to admit it, the upperclassmen really did help. Even though the freshmen did get teased for being greenies and pups , the class of '86 soon began to be accepted by the upperclassmen and soon found their way around the high school.

Fond Memories The change from a middle school to a high school could be very confusing. Things just weren't the same. Everything was more advanced and more difficult. There were three times as many people as there were in the middle school. I really miss all of my teachers and I don't get to see all of my friends as often as I used to. You also don't seem to be as popular as you were in your old school ' re- plied one freshman. You have to do a lot of growing up, and you have to adjust to being around different types of people which can be hard for some, quoted another freshman. Though the memories seemed far away, most freshmen continued to have as many good times if not more than they had while in their middle school.

Night Rider. Arcade Fun The clanging of bumpers and the flapping of flippers were only a few of the noises heard in arcades in the area. Patronizing these popular establishments, students released their frustrations or just plain relaxed! Video arcades provided a break from everyday life. Most importantly, it was fun! No two games were ever played the same way; therefore, there was no monotony. Playing games helps me let out my frustrations; when I get a high score it makes me feel important, and my friends look up to me. It's where all the other freshmen hang out. Since we aren't old enough to drive, we just hang out at the arcades, explained one freshman. The most popular arcades were Putt-Putt, Jolly Jester, and Fantasy World. Many franchises and restaurants also carried electronic games in order to attract more business. Many freshmen spent their weekends crowded into arcades competing for high scores. Although it could be expensive, the recession did not decrease business in the least. Freshmen 73 We Are Family Sibling rivalry .. . What is it? If you didn't have a brother or sister, you may have been missing a lot. There was always competition among siblings, to say nothing about bickering and fighting. Jealousy and envy among siblings were indeed very normal. My sister is a real pain. She's always trying to get in good with my father. Also, she has to be my shadow; she always has to do what I do, commented Betsy Wilson, sophomore. Having someone to share things with could be fun but also frustrating. She is always borrowing my clothes and constantly has to have everything that I have ' pointed out sophomore Anne Boggs. Sometimes things could be great, but other times you just wished that you were an only child. Brothers and sisters were great to take out your problems and frustrations on. You got plenty of practice yelling at each other. She's always tattling, and she's so much younger than me; she has to do everything that I do, remarked Michelle Slifer, sophomore. All in all, Betsy, Anne, and Michelle agreed that brothers and sisters weren't so bad after all!! Laura Friend and her sister Amy share a quiet moment together at home.

Food Of The Cods?!? It was 10:15, the middle of fourth hour, and all of the sudden you got a Big Mac Attack . The overwhelming urge to bite into a juicy Big Mac was barely controllable. Weak from anticipation, you couldn't even answer your math teacher's question. If this sounded like you during the school year, you weren't alone. Junk Food! It was an obsession with teenagers. As soon as you walked in the front door after school, it was straight for the Twin-kies and Pepsi; after a date, it was straight for the Doritoes and the Mountain Dew. When you were on the run from work to a basketball game, a handful of potato chips and a couple of cookies was often the best I can do mom, honest. I'll have a good meal tomorrow, promise.

If so, the sophomore class had two sets of twins to tell you how it felt. They were Michael and Michelle Collier and Jody and Jill Hart. We're like ordinary brothers and sisters. Most of the time it doesn't occur to us that we are twins. Usually people never even think that we are twins ' remarked Michelle. But with Jody and Jill it was a different story. When anyone first meets us they never can tell us apart but after they've known us for a while they begin to tell us apart ' explained Jody. But with both sets of twins they all agreed that they would never give up being a twin for anything in the world. Michelle and Michael Collier and Jody and Jill Hart prove that sharing is caring at home and at school.

Jeff Connor quietly sits and studies second hour study hall. while sitting in Mrs. Miller's Oh no! Not two study halls! To some sophomores, having a study hall could be an advantage. However, many felt it was a pain because there just wasn't anything to do. Nearly every tenth grader found himself in a study hall at least one period of the day. I really don't like my study hall. After you get done with your homework, there isn't anything to do except talk, and since we could not talk the only thing to do was to be bored, comment- ed sophomore Kelly Dodd. Steve Miller felt that his study hall gave him more time to catch up on his homework and to get his rest. Study halls blended a mixture of confusion, sleeping, and hard cramming. A few students even did their homework! Others tried to avoid the no talking rule by using sign language and whis pering. A few industrious sophomores squeezed out of study halls by volunteering as a teacher's assistant or office helper. 80 Sophomores Marc Shaw, Pat Shaw, Marlissa Shuey, Lenora Shunk, David Shutes, Pat Sid-well, Leslie Sigmon Karla Sims, Michelle Slifer, Anthony Smith, Chris Smith, Justine Smith, Teresa Smith, Wendy Smith Cheryl Smitely, Tammy Snedecker, Amanda Souders, Pat Snodgrass, Tonja Sparta, Jim Spencer, Anthony Stafford Floyd Starks, Karen Starns, Jeanne Stuart, Deena Styer, Bret Suttle, Linda Swider, Chuck Syfert Anthony Sykes, Scott Tahon, Robinson Tam, Gary Taylor, Michael Taylor, JoAnn Templeton, Tracy Thoma Kim Thomas, Lisa Thompson, Jeff Tinder, Mona Tinsley, Cara Tipsword, Keith Tolson, Matt Trimble Gina Troop, Sharleene Tuttle, Kim Vice, Danny Walls, Lisa Walsh, Craig Waltemath, Angela Ward Dennis Wasson, Brad Watkins, Frank Watkins, Stacie Watts, Tracie Watts, Billy Way, Stephanie Weller Lesli Wells, Victoria Wells, Doug White, Ruth Whitener, Carolyn Williams, Cherie Williams, Irving Williams Sophomores 81 Timiko Williams, Betsy Wilson, Ladina Wilson, Raymond Wilt, Kristin Wingo, Marty Withers, Sam Wodetzki Chris Wolfla, Jerry Woods, )oe Woods, John Woodward, Sheri Wright, Tou Yang, June Zanders Taking a break from the usual it all by patronizing a local res-cafeteria food, Ladina Wilson taurant. and Sandy Smith get away from Chow Time!

I either eat in the lunch room or just walk around and talk to my friends, replied Bridgette January.

Junior lockers were the center of attention this year. They were lavishly decorated with every type of sticker you could imagine, and they were covered with a multitude of pictures and other momentous decals. I wanted my locker to be different. I just got tired of looking at the same ordinary locker every day, remarked Bobra Crockett. A locker was the only personal possession students had at school, and they thought that decorating it would show their originality and reflect their self images. To most juniors, a decorated locker was like having a special place where they could go that would be different than anyone else's.

Spirit-Lifter What were some of the things that junior girls loved to do? Most of them agreed that one of their favorite pastimes was shopping and spending money. If you were to look for a junior girl, most likely they could be found in a clothing store. What was it that made everyone want to shop? I like to browse around the stores and look for different things that I'd like to buy, but most of all I like to spend money ' replied Junior Joan Young. Kathy McNeil remarked that she shopped in order to lift her spirits and to make her feel better. It also gave her something to do. Shopping was an important part of life for juniors. It was a reason to make you feel better, and it always kept you in the latest fashions. At times it could become very costly, but to most juniors it was worth it!

Warm-Hearted The class J of '84 was lucky enough to have Mary Chambers for their guidance counselor for the third year in a row. Mrs. Chambers was considered a great counselor and a great person by her junior students. I really like her. She's easy to get along with and she's just a great all around person, remarked Elizabeth Vren-tas. She's a riot. If you ever need a laugh just go see Mrs. Chambers. She'll keep you in stitches, explained Lori Butler. Mrs. Chambers has been working as a counselor at DHS for six years. Until the freshmen class was put back into the high schools, counselors were assigned according to a student's skill level. I like it better the way it is now. This way I can get closer to my kids and therefore help them better since I've gotten to know them all better. Mrs. Chambers is a special person to the members of the junior class. They have all grown to respect and admire her.

They chose our class to be the first freshman class in 20 years because they obviously knew we had potential. Now, we are engaged in a great Spirit Week, testing whether any class could be so dedicated that they could defeat the class of '84. We are the greatest! Always was; always will be! This was one of the signs posted when the class of '84 won the hall decorating contest, Homecoming 1981. This year the competition was changed to floats. The junior class dominated the rest by scoring 191 points out of 200 possible. What made this class so dedicated? One reason, said President Shannon Bireline, is that all of our members are like a family, and we work well togeth- Last summer the class of '84 raised over $1400 by means of rummage sales and car washes. Other fund raisers included the sale of Pom-Pons and key chains. What did the juniors like best about being in the class of '84? We got to participate in more events than we did when we were underclassmen, replied Vanessa Mitchell. I like being a junior because I know that I'm coming that much closer to graduating, explained Clarissa Morris. Originality and uniqueness were two characteristics that made the junior class like no other. Besides being very active in school activities, the class of '84 scored higher than any other class in D.H.S. history in a nation wide test last year. The class of '84 proved to be In Fine Shape! Deidra Noel tries new stitches during the last few minutes of class. Trifling With Words Small Talk I'm really surprised I made it this far. The first couple of days of you senior year, you have to show everyone who's in charge, especially the freshmen. There's always one freshman who doesn't do what he is told to do. Those are the ones you lean extra hard on — like slap them around or run over them in the car. But don't get me wrong. I'm a nice guy and I'll graduate if I'm lucky! — Senior LaWayne Thompson When You're a junior, you don't get pushed around anymore. Now you do the pushing. The class of '84 is so great that we push seniors around, too! My favorite thing was to tell a lost freshman that his class was on the fourth floor! — Junior Mike Pryor The best thing about being a sophomore was that I got driver's ed. It's tough not being the youngest anymore. Now I throw the freshmen around a little and keep them in line. — Sophomore Eric Luke Being a freshman at DHS was kind of scary my first week or two, but after a while I caught on. The impression was given in the middle school that the upperclassmen are either going to put you down or beat you up. Actually, many of them don't even realize you're a greenie unless you have your graduation year written all over everything. Being a freshman wasn't all that bad, but I still was anxious to get on to my sophomore year! — Freshman Diane Garrison LuAnn Guthrie water paints a design onto material before she stretches it over a frame. 92 Small Talk Drafting a layout, Shane Rowe finishes up on the floor plan of a two story house.

In My Opinion Speaking Up “When I was a sophomore, it felt like I didn't know anyone and that I was just in the shadows. Senior year, you know everybody, and you just don't blend in with the scenery. Now it's the underclassmen who are looking up to us. — Senior LeAnn Klein The change from underclassman makes you feel more important, and you're no longer a nobody . You feel more responsible, and you have to set the example. — Junior Stephanie Smitha We're no longer the low-life (freshmen) of the school. Anything is better than being a freshman. — Sophomore Danny Walls It's hard to explain. It's different. Going from oldest to the youngest and the one who possesses the least wisdom about life. It's hard going through the tortures of a freshman — the people who don't appreciate you, the kids who want you as friends, but feel compelled to initiate you as a tradition. — Freshman Scott Alexander Speaking Up 95 I'm A Senior! What's Your Excuse? Senioritis Strikes Were you a victim of the inevitable disease? Were you arrogant or proud? Did you feel you had the right to govern all underclassmen? If you answered these questions with a yes you had SENIORITIS! As seniors we all experienced these symptoms. We were deaf to alarm clocks, had a sudden incapacity for mental exertion, and had heightened appreciation for ail things trivial, such as football games, cruising, and late night movies. But then again, who cared what the next day brought — WE WERE SENIORS! How should seniors have really acted? Tim Bell felt, not too ma- ture; it is your one last chance to be a kid! In a true perspective, perhaps a senior should have been a leader and an example to the underclassmen. Debbie Odle took her senior year seriously and expressed her feelings. Being a senior doesn't give one the right to be a bully or a goof-off. Seniors should take classes seriously and work their hardest. They have to realize they are preparing for the future. Excitement — we've made it to the top! was the remark of many students who approached the first day of their last high school year. The senior year was the climax 01 secondary schooling. It has been quoted that the senioi year was to be the best time of one'i life. This may be true, but for man) seniors it was a time for finalizing plans towards college enrollment searching for the career that besi suited their personal interests, anc keeping up grades while having fun It was a frightening experience — full of unanswered questions tha would determine the future.

Tim White and Jeff Currier practice fundamental riot control skills at the National Guard Armory. Wishing Upon A Star Can Result In Fantasies Fulfilled Twinkle, twinkle little star .. Do childhood dreams come true? As small children we spent hours fantasizing about what we wanted to become when we grew up — a fireman, doctor, lawyer, nurse, secretary, or even a truck driver! Senior Jeff Currier had a dream of being a war hero. As a nine year old boy, he enjoyed watching war movies, especially those that dealt with aircraft. Perhaps Jeff did wish upon the right star, prodding him to pursue his career of being a soldier. At the age of 17, as a private in the Army National Guard, Jeff was well on his way towards fulfilling his fantasy. However, due to poor eyesight, Jeff's initial plan of flying aircraft could not be arranged. This caused him to look into the other types of armed services — that's when he sought the National Guard. Maybe some of us didn't have childhood dreams, but yet we have always looked for a new challenge. Tim White took this adventure of enlisting in the Army National Guard as finding something different and was also a way to pay for college. Enlisting in the Army National Guard had many benefits. For Jeff and Tim, it was a chance to learn a trade or a skill, earn extra money, learn to be responsible leaders, and enjoy their regular civilian lives. Tim White felt, on top of all these reasons, The Army Guard not only helps safeguard the freedom of the people of our land, it helps the people in emergencies. Although the Army Guard has many benefits, it allows people the opportunity to receive a college education through the scholarship program. By enlisting, one can receive four years of a college education with the understanding that he must continue to serve in the Guard one weekend out of every month for six years. If perhaps your childhood dream has not come true, don't give up! For when it does, like Jeff Currier, you too will have the world by it's tail — in control and free. Seniors 99 If At First You Don't Succeed Try College In society now-a-days, it is a scary and confusing time for graduating students who hope for the best after high school. A senior's first concern is what he can do for himself to prepare for the future. Should he get married? Find a job? Many students have chosen to better themselves by furthering their education. All college-bound students have agreed that to be able to succeed in life and the working world of the 1980's, one must attend college. Part of the senior trauma is applying to a college and then waiting to be accepted. This is a task that must be thought out in advance. Susan Laury, a senior who planned to extend her journalism education at Indiana University, advised, Underclassmen should start planning early and make the most of their high school education. Craig Estepp, who will be majoring in computer science at the University of Illinois, felt that kids ought to learn to study now rather than being told to, otherwise when the time comes for grades in their freshmen year, they'll end up sitting on the sidewalk outside of the college. Fred Porcheddu summed it up. Beware underclassmen! It creeps up on you when you're not looking and catches you off guard. It makes you regret wasting your former schooling. When a senior wasn't worried Jeff Currier Lynn Curry Kenneth Curtis Greg Dalton Don Davis Kim Davis Marla Davis Debbie Dawson Gary Day Jennie DeMoss about being accepted to a university, he was trying to figure out how to pay for college expenses. John Dos-sey has been interested in the field of computers, since that is the upcoming trend, and planned to attend Illinois State. He has thought about how to pay the costly tuition. I'm going to try to get a scholarship for baseball, write an essay for a $500 scholarship from the Warner Cable Co., and go into a student finance Spencer Brooks and Oerrell Parker spend their spare lime seeking information on college;_____________________ program. Like most of us Michael Hulvey, who is pursuing a career in broadcasting and communications at Parkland College joked about how he was going to meet the cost of college. I think maybe I'll get a loan or get into a student financial aid program. But if worse comes to worst, I'll grab a tin cup and beg my parents and from there go door to door. Aside from paying for college, a student must know the factors for choosing a college that is right for his needs. How is the school academically? What does it offer? Where is it located? Debie Odle explained why she decided to take two years of college at DACC and then transfer to the University of Illinois. I wasn't sure what I wanted to major in, so I thought that the first two years of basic study at DACC would give me time to choose a major. Also I wanted to keep my job to pay for tuition while I lived at home. It works out perfectly for what I want! College doesn't have to be scary, if it's thought of as just another school. Not everyone is frightened at the idea of harder work and a more independent atmosphere, yet ironically being surrounded by thousands of students who are in the same boat. College may be the key to success in today's society. With the aid of financial support, the guidance of counselors and the endless information of college in available pamphlets, it's easier for a person to understand what he is getting into. So if you have found it tough to get a job that pays well and want to continue your education, then get smart and go to college! 100 Seniors Gerald DePratt Bob DeToye Bryan Dickelman Joy Dill Tim Dines Jack Divan Lisa Dokey Michelle Donaldson John Dossey Mary Drejewski Bryan Drews Jessie Driver Andy Dunavan Dennis Dunavan Karen Dyer Antionette Echols Tarra Echols Julie Eisenhauer Matt Eldridge Darren Ellis Rob Ervin Craig Estepp Keith Estock Mark Farnsworth Jerry Fegett Towanda Finch John Fitzsimmons Mark Fluno Toni Foehrer Stacy Fogleman Mark Fredericks Jackie French Janet Garner Shawn Garreston Carrie George Seniors 101 Dawn George Lee Gettinger Lori Gibson David Giidersleeve Dan Glover Sherry Glover Kim Gooch Jay Goodwin Jerry Gore Doretha Gouard Craig Graf Marty Halbrook Ryan Hale Angela Hall Jeff Hampton Brian Hance Erich Hannah Stacie Hanson Tammy Hanson John Harden Bill Hardin Kara Harmeson Tim Harper Scott Hastings Bart Haton Phil Haussy Michelle Hawkins Johnetta Haynes Jaime Hernandez Pam Hesser Becky Hettmansberger Sandra Hible James Hillard Sheree Hillsman Carmella Hodrick 102 Seniors Everyone Needs A Change Of Scenery . . . But Overseas?!! Getting a head start on their world-wide travels, Mary Neeley and Lynn Bieritz spent a couple months in Europe. Lynn went to Italy and stayed with some close friends. From there she went on to Austria, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. I liked meeting the friendly people and relaxing on the beach without a sign of rain! I was really impressed with the advanced fashions. Lynn met the expense of her shopping sprees, while her father pitched in for her plane fare. She said that if their merchandise wasn't so much cheaper than the U.S., she wouldn't have been able Surrounded by Pebbles and her Italian and Swedish friends, senior Lynn Bieritz bakes in to come back with as many souvenirs. While Lynn had fun at the beach, senior Mary Neeley enjoyed her independence building bridges as well as fixing gates and dry stone walls. Mary joined the British Volunteer Trust Corp (BVTC) at the cost of $2000.00 dollars. Working with a group of about nine, sleeping in tents, and breaking for tea, Mary learned to appreciate what little she was asked to do at home. Mary explained the work program more fully. I would get together with my assigned group and then go to our work site with only a piece of paper containing our schedules. This meant we were all the 90 degree rays of the Italian sunshine on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. out to fend for ourselves. Even though it got scary at times, it was an exciting adventure. Although Mary worked, she had a day between each work task to spend as she wished. Taking advantage of the opportunities, Mary went to London and viewed Big Ben, Queen Elizabeth, Buckingham Palace, and Canterbury Cathedral. Everyone needs freedom, independence, and a change of scenery every now and then. But there is no place like home. As Mary emphasized, Appreciate what you have here — opposed to the conditions there. The easy life? Hardly! Senior Mary Neeley ex-periences how the pioneers felt without the modern convenience of running water. Seniors 103 How Can Embarrassment Be Spotted In A Crowd? The Glow Of A Red Face There is a time for everything, but have you ever done something at the wrong place and time? Do you turn an illuminant red? Or do your hands sweat to no end? There are the first tangible signs of total shame and embarrassment. It has happened to us all at one time or another, but when it does happen, it's hard to forget. Seniors recalled instances that have made them think twice about jumping into a situation that might damage their pride. Tom Wagner stated, Once I ate a bee in Mr. Crawford's class. It tasted terrible, but I needed the five dollars. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't go through the agony of swallowing a bee in front of a whole English class. A few others have also been shamed, yet in front of large crowds. During an important swim meet, Jon Muirhead forgot to dive after the whistle blew. Julie Eisenhauer, Student Council President, regretted not studying for her psychology test. I was on the ineligible list the first week of school, and it was printed in the newspaper. If I only passed the psychology test! Like some kids, who were preoccupied with the girls and guys that they liked, Susan Lorenz found it hard to recover from her embarrassment. One day in typing class, I had some spare time so I started typing the name of the guy I liked. Before class ended, the paper was completely covered with Rob Jackson's name. A kid sitting next to me took the paper and showed it to Rob. Then the next day, he pointed me out in a crowd. Since that time, I've never done anything to make myself blush in front of the guy I liked. Everyone experiences this emotional feeling. And when it strikes watchout! You and everyone else around you will know. Just think — It will give you a good laugh in a couple of years. After sliding down a flight of stairs, dropping his books, and looking like a fool, Greg Lowenstein expresses sheer agony and feels for broken bones!

The Fastest Two Days Of The Week Weekends Weekends are made for ... Everyone can relate to the fact that there is not enough time to sleep, goof off, or have a lot of free time during the school year. Weekends gave students and teachers time to catch up on their own needs. Kids devoted spare time to friends and favorite pastimes. Parties, sports events, Jolly Jester, and movie theaters were just a few of the many places you could find some students. Unlike these, senior John Westwater could be sighted on a runway. He flew a plane when he had some extra cash and a free weekend. John added, I don't want people to think I'm a rich kid and I just fly planes in my freetime, because this expensive hobby is sought as a career. Free time summed up most everyone's opinion on weekends, but what was really interesting was what kids thought about not having weekends. A couple said they would drop out, lose a lot of sleep and have nothing to live for. Leslie Simpson explained, I would go crazy! Too much school and no breaks would cause temporary insanity! Another senior felt, Without weekends I would be burnt out! It gives me time to recharge and psyche up for the following week. We all spent a lot of time with friends in and out of school, but Brenda Masters used her weekends to get together with her working family. Her schedule consisted of Friday night sports events after finishing homework. On Saturday she spent time with her parents and family. Sunday brought church and the youth fellowship program of which she was president; then 9:00 p.m. — it was bedcheck for the Master's house. Not everyone slept 'til noon on Saturdays. Scott Hastings woke up at 6:00 a.m. and jogged for an hour. At 8:00 he made a trip to WDAN studios for radio staff taping, and the rest of the day was his to run around and goof off. We all had different ways of making the best of the quickest two days of the week — hobbies, family, friends, vacations, and errands. Every spare moment was used for the benefit of ourselves — the way it ought to be! Decisions! Decisions! Finding One's Niche Does a large school provide more opportunities for its students? Does it offer a wider range of classes? Seniors who transferred from a smaller school expressed their opinions. Debbie Dawson, a former Schlar-man student, transferred in order to broaden her selection of classes and to become involved in the numerous amount of extra-curricular activities. Reasons for transferring from others included: more established friendships, more freedom, bigger school, and easier classes. What would your first impression be upon entering a new school? Scary? Exciting? Confused? Todd Federman, who came from a small school, thought that D.H.S. was, a madhouse and wondered where he could hire a tour guide! Although D.H.S. is a large school, Jerry Ringis, also a transfer from a small school, felt right at home. He replied, I liked it better than Schlarman be- cause Danville had a bigger student body, who were always friendly toward others. As with any situation, there are always pros and cons to every problem. The question of moving to a new school allowed many students to examine both the good and bad points of a school's standing within a community. Debbie Dawson, who reviewed the pros and cons of transferring to D.H.S., found that Schlarman prepared the student better for college due to the constant competition to excel above classmates. On the other hand, Danville challenged the student to compete with himself to achieve good marks and self-esteem. Decisions? Decisions? The general opinion of transferring to D.H.S. was one of gladness. One student commented that she wished she would have come three years earlier! Todd Federman and Jerry Ringis, former Toppers, find time before lunch to chat in the casual atmosphere of their locker area.

It's A Hobby! Senior Wheels Have you spent over $2,000 on a car just to get back and forth to school? Has your car been entered into numerous shows and magazines? Few people have thought of automobiles as being used for more than just cruising around town. Seniors Jess Lyons, Pat Taylor, and Todd Wyman considered driving as a privilege; therefore, they both spent an enormous amount of money on gas, maintenance, and insurance. Jess owned a customline 53 Ford. During the summer of 1982, he entered his pride and joy into a car show in Indianapolis. Though Jess didn't win an award, he received a lot of praise from the judges. Jess simply admitted, I love old cars, especially my Ford. Pat Taylor drove a 1974 Mustang II Hatchback, which he nicknamed Boss Hoss. Having decked out his Mustang with a stereo, sun roof, and 43 coats of paint, Pat stated, I enjoy improving my investment; it has paid-off, so Boss Hoss has re-veived first place at every car show it was entered in. Unlike Pat and Jess, Todd Wyman owned a Ford F-150 truck — gold with brown stripes. Aside from entering car shows, his truck has also been pictured in magazines. Todd named his truck Expect No Mer- cy, and being so enthused about racing and making a career around cars, he plans to attend the Lincoln Technical Institute. Driving is a privilege and worth while with a car in such tip-top shape, expressed Todd, It makes me feel so independent. Although everyone couldn't afford to put so much money into it, cars were still deserving of a pat on the hood once in a while. Seniors took great pride in their possessions, and the car above all — not just as a means of commuting, but more importantly as a hobby. As Todd put it, Catch me if you can! After reading Tracy Smith's excuse, Miss Koebrich finds it difficult to hold back the laughter from its originality. Too Many Little White Lies Can Lead To The Impulsive Liar How many times have you had to think up a logical reason for being tardy or not getting your homework completed on time? Most kids come up with fairly ordinary, everyday excuses. I missed the bus, My mom overslept, I left it in my locker, or a train was blocking my way. Although some kids aren't clever enough to make up an excuse any more original than, My dog chewed it up, some teachers revealed the most peculiar and creative excuses they have ever received from their students. Mr. Coan was once told by a student that he couldn't turn in his homework because it was left on a bus, and the assignment was later found in Chica- Joyce Stringer Marty labels Julie Tatar Glenda Taylor Margie Taylor Patrick Taylor Jeanne Terrell Tommy Testa John Thompson Marvin Thornsbrough go. Another student tried to convince Mr. Sampson why he missed his trumpet lesson. He said that he went hunting with his father and uncle. While hunting, he missed the target rabbit and shot his dog instead. As he sulked over this, his father grounded him. Among the best of these little white lies, Mr. Dowers explained his favorite, Once I had a young lady who claimed her mother took the keys to the car. When the keys were returned, she opened the trunk only to find her overdue paper with coffee spilled on it! Receiving excuses by the ton, the same reaction usually overwhelms all teacher's faces. The jaw flies open. the laughter starts, and the student is warned to either be quiet or be sent to their Dean. Other teachers have had theii own unique come back line to a student's well-planned excuses. Mr. Carlson's famous response was tough tootles; you get a zero! Almost everyone has been found guilty of concocting excuses for being tardy and even forgetting a homework assignment. Seniors felt they had the perrogative to get by with their excuses before the underclassmen's little white lies were accepted. What's a couple of tactful lies from a senior, underclassmen, or anyone . .. until the privilege is abused. 112 Seniors Ernie Trinkle Brad Turner Cassandra Underwood Stephanie Wagner Tom Wagner Krista Walker Deke Wallace Jeff Wallace Renee Walls Torre Walls Toni Waltzer Tim Ward Cathy Warner Toni Warren Cindy Watson Francine Webb Robert Webb John Westwater Tim White Lori Williams Joseph Williams Maria Williams Allison Wills Pam Winchester Lisa Winn Julie Wodetski George Wolf James Wright Neng Xiong Jim Zarn Seniors 113 Studying Physics, Terry Lyons starts his homework early to get in some T.V. before the night is up. 114 Classes Divider CLASSES Homework, homework give me a break! Staying up until 12:00, you try to remain awake while putting the finishing touches on your five paragraph composition for Advanced Grammar. Having completed your translation for Spanish and your Calculus assignment, you sigh in relief because you finally finished your homework. All of the homework and studying pay off at test time when you get an A on the exam. Without instruction from teachers, the learning process is incomplete. This process includes writing a three page report on genetic disorders the weekend of Homecoming, pop quizzes the Monday after Christmas vacation, a twenty minute open book quiz in Physics, which actually takes thirty minutes to complete, and a quiz on a film seen in Latin class. Your knowledge is put to the test daily. Fortunately, the knowledge you retain prepares you for the future. Through instruction by teachers and diligent studying on your part, you plan for your future to stay IN FINE SHAPE. Classes Divider Shouldering Responsibility It makes a student responsible for his behavior, homework, and education. It has to be done sometime; everyone must learn to take care of himself, commented Mrs. Elizabeth Norwood, an active school board member. She spoke of the new ownership policy which had been initially suggested by the former superintendent of schools, Mr. Don Woods. The plan originated in Modesto, California and after learning of it, members of the board adopted the policy within a month. Although there was such a positive response from it, members of the board were cautious at first before jumping to conclusions. One member stated, It worried me because it was so rigid compared to what the students were used to. I felt that because of this, some students would have even more hardships to bear then they could handle. Changes around the school were quite evident to its principal. Mr. Blaine Bonynge pointed out the alterations in the students' behavior. The kids seem to be more punctual to class and seem to spend time on homework. The results are seen on the higher TASK test scores and fewer failing grades on report cards. Assistant principal Mr. Phil Smith felt it worked well because everyone benefited from the policy because the strategy has already been worked; now it just has to be enforced and obeyed. Having experienced the policy for one school year, it was hard for Dr. Carl Esslinger to decide what he could change to perfect the new strategy. He summed up the rest of the administration's feelings. I think the policy should just run its course for at least two years, so it can be studied. Then after evaluating its bad spots, we should make changes. The new rules and regulations should remain around for as long as they prove effective. They brought about positive atmosphere and opened students' eyes to reality. As Mrs. Livengood said, The new policy taught kids that what they put into education is what they get out of it!

Principal And Assistant Principals 117 Counselors are the eyes and ears of the school ' said Mrs. Mary Chambers, junior counselor. Counseling is a personal contact with students, parents, and teachers, said Mrs. Judith Sanders, sophomore counselor. My typical day involves conferences with students, phone calls home, and schedule changes. A day does not go by when I don't have a schedule change. A major part of counseling is the paper work. A detailed file is kept on each student by the designated counselor. Many significant exams are given each year by the guidance department including the PSAT, the TASK test, and survival skills. Mrs. Chambers commented that there is no typical day for her. There's no such thing. A counselor has to deal with human beings and their emotions. Every day is different. The reason I like counseling is because I love people, replied Mrs. Chambers. I love being a sounding board for students to come to me and talk. I enjoy being a counselor because I like the idea of trying to help students get through a trying time in their lives. I like the one to one contact I get with my students, replied Mrs. Chambers. Mrs. Johnston writes an admit slip as she lis-tens to the student's reasons for absenteeism. 118 Guidance Counselors And Deans Mrs. Sanders examines a broom that was purchased from the AFS fund raiser sales.

Jack Of All Trades It's not your ordinary secretarial job, laughed Mrs. Mickey Walters. I never thought I'd be running notes, lunches, and clothes to students! I also specialize in bandages and working the elevator! Mrs. Walters, having worked eight years in the guidance office for the counselors said, I definitely love secretarial work and the kids too. Every day is different! A secretary keeps an office going and is there to help the boss any way she possibly can, explained Mrs. Mabel Clemens. In her fourth year, Mrs. Clemens worked for Mr. Kay. If it was just typing, it would be boring! I've been here for 17 years, Mrs. Katie McClain declared. I handle all the paper work for Mr. Bonynge. It comes to my desk before it goes to his. Most of the phone calls go through the principal's office, so she has a big responsibility answering the phone. A secretary's job, to me, means to even the flow of work between administration and staff, replied Mrs. Sharon Howard. Mrs. Howard, in her third year here, works in Mr. Bonynge's office. Mrs. Martha Foster has been at DHS for five years. I get all transcripts and enrollments up to date. It takes a lot of work off Mr. Bonynge. Doing anything from giving first aid to answering the phone, a secretary could be considered, A Jack of All Trades. Secretaries 121 After Hours The clang of pans echoes from the kitchen, and the swish of the brooms runs through the halls as you pass by the high school in the silent hours of the early morning. Besides administrators, faculty, and students, the school building had many full time employees to keep the maintenance up and the kitchen in full working order. Running the school is a full time job, just like running a small city,'' remarked Mr. Bott, head custodian. Everything had to run like a well oiled machine. The duties of custodians had to be done when expect- ed. Some of the duties included housekeeping, keeping all the clocks set at the same time, and keeping the boiler in top running condition. Keeping the kitchen running and preparing the food is a lot of responsibility, commented Mrs. Vitus Miller, cafeteria worker. There were several jobs besides preparing the food. Some include running the registers, cleaning the tables, and washing the dishes. Receiving little hassle from the kids makes the job much more pleasant, stated Mrs. Miller. Working after school hours, Don Finley sweeps the second floor hallway. 122 Custodians Mandatory requirements.

Cooking was just a part of the Home Economics course. Learning to make foods from cookies to pasta, measuring the ingredients, and learning how to cook for singles provided the basis for the curriculum. The other part, sewing, included a fashion show performed by the students to display their talents in sew- ing such as blouses, skirts, and slacks. Through the use of labs, students learned the fine points of sewing and cooking. Labs are very helpful. Students do better when they can work with others, said Mrs. Sharon Lac-quet, head of the Home Economics department. Six hundred and ninety-one students enrolled in home economics classes listened to guest speakers, watched filmstrips, concocted their own delicacies, or pieced together their own garments.

Creativity What do clay sculptures, electical circuits, and pinatas have in common? They were all projects of the fine arts department. Courses from these departments were considered electives which a student could choose for himself. They were enjoyed for what they were: a stepping stone for careers and usable hobbies. “Raw materials transformed to beautiful pieces of art aren't appreciated by most people. The art students are learning to evaluate and appreciate the work of others as well as their own, stated Mrs. Margot Harvey, chairman of the art department. The buzz of an arc welder and the clink of pliers were heard as you ventured toward the industrial education building. Commented Rich Dowers, Taking an industrial course in high school is preparatory for the realistic problems outside of school. If you happened to have passed by the foreign language classrooms and smelled the aroma of freshly cooked crepes or saw the making of pinatas, you were experiencing just a few of the projects that the foreign language students took part in. The monotony of the classroom atmosphere needs to be broken once in a while in order for the students to get more out of the course, commented one teacher.

Business is one of the most encompassing interests of students. This year about 1200 students were enrolled at least once in some type of business-oriented class with 11 teachers instructing. The students learned to make pictures by using the typewriter. They also experienced how the machines and word processing equipment worked just as if they were working in a job of their own. Business classes were also helpful for students who were preparing to attend college. Adding it up. Pat Stewart uses an adding machine in Business Machines class.

I feel more independent now because no one has to chauffeur me around, commented Diann Mar-iage. Many times parents are not patient enough for teaching. This makes the student nervous, and it usually ends up in an argument. Then nothing is accomplished, explained Mr. Denny Lewis, drivers' education instructor. Because of the difficulty involved in determining the difference between an A , C , or a D driver, the drivers' education classes adopted a new pass-fail system. In addition, a new state law mandated nine, instead of six, week sessions. Mr. Lewis stated, the more training the better. A state trooper pays a visit to the driver's education classes to speak on seat belts and drunk driving. 132 Drivers Education Special Needs 133 Pam Edmond and Ronnie Walz roll out the pie crust as Todd VanHorn looks on.

On The Job Co-op programs are some of the most educationally sound programs ever devised by school systems ' commented Mr. Robert Stark, D.E. teacher. There were three Co-op programs: Distributive Education, Diversified Occupations, and Office Occupations. On-the-job experience lowers costs for the employer, replied Mr. Stark, thereby it's giving graduates of Co-op an edge in the job market. Many of my past students are now in management positions at area businesses. The D.E. program dealt with students of retailing, marketing, and management. The students worked at local retail stores, such as clothing, department, and food stores. Being on the work program helps me a lot. it gives me extra time dur- ing the day to do my homework, and it allows me to put in more working hours, commented Jerry Ringis. The D.O. program was designed for students whose career choice pertained to trade-related areas. These students worked toward their goals in carpentry, nursing, or cosmetology. 0.0. helps me gain experience that I may need in the future, explained Robin Lindsay. The 0.0. program was designed for students who worked in office-type situations and wanted a career in that area. I can strongly recommend Co-op to students, replied Mr. Stark, because they leave the traditional school setting to gain practical experience as well as to learn.

Building Careers We look at the program as a realistic program which prepares the student for life after high school, remarked Mr. Paul Wasser. The world of VOTEC consisted of 588 students, over half which were Danville students. The whole purpose of VOTEC was to build trades and make things as real as possible. The students enrolled in building trades actually constructed houses. Acting as babysitters, the students learned the proper way to care for children during their social service classes. In the horticulture class, stu- dents created and sold flower corsages for prom, homecoming, and secret admirer flowers. I learned more at VOTEC than in regular classes because students can learn first hand rather than reading about them, emphasized Senior Charles White. Seventy-five percent of the students who have participated in the VOTEC program furthered their education by attending technical schools or universities. Twenty-five percent of the students entered directly into the working world.

Club will meet Thursday morning at 7:40 in room 314. That's all for today's announcements. One reason for you to stay after school, besides making up a quiz, is for an organizational meeting of a club like Kids That Care. Not unheard of is climbing out of bed half an hour earlier in order to be on time for a 7:40 meeting. The cause for such devotion lies in the activities planned by each organization. Activities can include a toga party for Latin Club members, a journalism clinic at the University of Illinois for Maroon and White staffers, or for Science Medical Careers Club members a field trip to Tee Pak. With a chance to get together, you participate in activities like these with people having the same interest. With your help, organizations such as Chess Club, Math Club, and Secretaries of Tomorrow keep the school IN FINE SHAPE.

Strength In Numbers The group was much stronger due to its larger number, stated Theatre Guild president, )erry Gore. I had a much better feeling this year about the group! The Theatre Guild, composed of 40 members, was sponsored by Mr. James Beebe and assisted by Mr. Larry Voor-hees. I feel that everyone participated a great deal in the presentation of the fall production, JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAM-COAT, and the cleaning and repair of the stage, said Mr. Beebe. For the past two years, the members of the guild have traveled to Cham-paign Urbana for the IHSA Theatre Festival. Twenty-four students and four chaperones traveled to the festival January 6th-8th for a weekend of educational workshops and seminars on acting, pantomime, voice, dance, and technical production. The all-state festival production, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, in which senior Jerry Gore participated, was also performed. Unique to this year was a change in the group's title. Previously known as the DHS ACTOR'S GUILD, the name was changed to the DHS THEATRE GUILD in order to include stage technicians, set designers, and makeup and costume committees. During the school year, Theatre Guild members presented two full-length plays and two one-act plays. JOSEPH . which was given November 19th and 21st, was judged for IHSA but missed participating in the all-state festival by a few points. THE UNDERCURRENT directed by Randi Barnes, and WHO AM I THIS TIME? directed by Robyn Briggs and Brad Watkins were the two one-act plays given during the second semester.

Let's Talk Communications — the key to success. Many students achieved this through the Speech Club and the Radio Staff. Even if students did not plan on a career in communications, being involved in these organizations would help students communicate with others later in life. Broadcasting over WDAN (1490), the Radio Staff programs were aired throughout the week between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Consisting of 21 members, the staff attended a radio history class prepared by Joe Jackson of WDNL WDAN on Wednesday mornings. As a result of the new parent booster group, the Radio Staff was able to finance their limited expenses. The added support of the parents encouraged the members. It's nice having parents help! said Mrs. Bogart, advisor. Besides helping the Radio Staff, the parent booster group also assisted the Speech Club. With their help, the Speech Club hopes to host an individual event contest next year. The assistance is coming in the form of preparing lunch and chaperoning classrooms during the day. With a highly competitive team of 25 members, the Speech Club has participated in 12 contests including the November 20th meet at Schlarman, December 11th at Normal, and the February 25th and 26th contest at Carbondale. Communicating clearly with people is rapidly becoming a rare talent. With the efforts of the Radio Staff, Speech Club, and the parent boosters, more students have the opportunity to practice their speaking skills.

This was heard many times in room 247 as Medley staffers put the 1983 yearbook together. It's been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, said staffer Julie Paxton, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. It was well worth it! Preparation began last summer when Adviser Linda Kane and Copy Editor Kim Busby attended camp at Ball State. From that point on, it was a lot of planning, writing, picture taking, and late night work sessions to produce a quality book. These late night sessions included staying after school until midnight. Members of the staff worked on layouts, typed copy, and cropped pictures to meet the five deadlines in order to produce the yearbook on time. We're Medley staffers, and we're making memories, exclaimed Bobra Crockett. There was another talented bunch of kids and a superb adviser who informed us at least ten times a year of the happenings at DHS. You guessed it! The Maroon and White staff. Led by Mr. Wayne Crawford, the Maroon and White staff combined hard work and professional communication skills to make the school newspaper an outstanding media organization. What accounted for their success? Said Clubs Editor LeAnn Koerner, We work so well together because there are no personality conflicts. Everyone gets along which makes it a lot of fun!! Included in the fun was a trip to Chicago last December to tour the Chicago Tribune, where Mr. Crawford began his journalism career, and the Illinois State High School Press Association workshop at the University of Illinois in Champaign. Senior Jeff Wallace summed it up the best, We're awesome! Maroon White 145 Cooking Mexican style, Elizabeth Vrentas and Mary Rennick fry tortillas for their burritos in Spanish-French Club.

Besides the toga party, Brad Cunningham, a junior, gave a party for the 20 members of the Latin Club at his house. Italian foods were sampled along with never-ending games of pinball and pool. Academically, Latin Club members took the National Latin Exam in March. You get involved with people and work together to have a good time, said Ann Goodner, Latin Club member. Another foreign lan- guage club, the Spanish-French club, contributed to the International Fair. During class time, the club members held cultural demonstrations. Their demonstrations included making crepes and Mexican specialties. After school, members made pinatas to break in class. Selling candy, the Spanish-French club members hoped to raise enough money for a trip to Chicago to see a play and go visit the Art Institute as well as eat at a French restaurant. It's good for the kids to get a sampling of different cultures, expressed Mrs. Kaulig, advisor. AFS: FRONT ROW: )oey Lappin, Edna Jackson, Theresa Hawkins, Julie Eaton, Patty Miller, Stacy Kitchen.

Bonds For Peace Bridging Gaps “AFS builds bridges of peace instead of bombs for war, stated Mr. John Sanders, summarizing his beliefs in the American Field Service program. This year DHS was fortunate to have Roberto Mazorriaga, an AFS student from Bilbio, Spain. I like it in Danville! It's a great place to live, exclaimed Roberto. The people have treated me so well since I came to the United States. Roberto was a senior this past year. His favorite subject was Computer Science, and he enjoyed being an active member of the Student Council. He had only one complaint though, I had more homework here, than in Spain! Ciro Rodrigues and Isabella Coelho were foreign exchange students, both from Brazil. Ciro was sponsored by Christian International, and Isbella was sponsored by Rotary. They both actively participated in the AFS program at the high school by helping with fund-raising activities, attending parties, and making posters. Two students traveled abroad this year; Andrea Schwartz traveled to San Jose, Costa Rica, and Stephanie Slaughter traveled to Bogota, Columbia. TKey departed from Danville in the summer of 1982 and returned in January of 1983, in time to graduate with their class. This summer Ruth Johnson, a junior, will travel to the Southern Hemisphere and return before the 1983-84 school year. Mr. Sanders, and his wife Judith, have been active in the American Field Service program since 1955. They were both counselors for the foreign exchange students attending DHS and put together programs for students traveling abroad. Members of the AFS club help each other put the finishing touches on the table at the AFS tea party. 148 AFS Feature Making a mess as they have fun, Joe Barcroft and Krista Douglas perform some crazy antics in their Halloween costumes.

Being a pompette is something to be proud of, said Lisa Dokey. Lisa, along with Lynn Curry were captains of the 31 member squad. Both girls agreed that many members thought performing at home football and basketball games was rewarding. Being a pompette, said Karen Dyer, is a good way to make new friends and to have a lot of fun. It's hard work, too, but it's worth it in the end. According to Cindy Scarlett, the two hour afternoon and 6:30 a.m. practices were a lot of hard work, Miss Johnnie Young, pompette advisor, agreed with Cindy, girls must make sure it's what they want to do, because it's not all fun and games. It's an organization that performs unique rou- tines. The 1982-83 pompette squad showed dedication to their school, according to Miss Young. Along with their dedication, the pompettes added color, sparkle and entertainment to the games. As well as the pompettes, the cheerleaders felt the same about their responsibilities, being the backbone of school spirit. Miss Karen Darby, their sponsor, states, the girls are like one big family; though we do have our problems, we enjoy it. Stephanie Wagner summed it up for the entire squad, It is a lot of hard work and time. To us, cheerleading means late Friday nights and the pride of school spirit. I didn't think being a captain would take up so much time, but it's fun and I get along well with the squad. We spend most of our time on buses and practicing, commented Captain Diann Mariage.

They also act as a support group for their members, school, and community, stated Miss Menges, advisor for Kids That Care. Baking cookies for people in the Danville Care Nursing Home, the members of Kids That Care decided to adopt grandparents. Although this was not a part of their project for the month of December, they went a step beyond the community program of their own. Not unlike Kids That Care, the Human Relations Club with advisor Mr. Green took part in community services such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association. For their efforts, the members received an award of recognition. Through books about ethnic cultures and American society dis- played in the main hall, the club expressed brotherhood week. Lending a hand to the Secretaries of Tomorrow, area businesses such as Tee-Pak, GE, and the Data Processing building at DACC gave the members a view into their prospective career. Through this community support, the club members came into contact with the important aspects of the secretarial field. Tickets will be on sale from Monday, March 21st through Friday the 25th during the lunch hours in the main hall for the Sadie Hawkins dance. Y-Teens, sponsor of the Sadie Hawkins dance, selected Don't gamble your love away, as the dance theme. Members did a great job considering they started so late, emphasized Miss Brigham, advisor. Setting up the A.V. equipment, Jim Zarn struggles with the tripod before the rest of the club arrives. Stack 'Em Up And Sign 'Em Out. Sight Sound The students in these two groups are very faithful and loyal kids, proudly remarked Mrs. Louise Nelms, librarian. This year the Library Club participated in many activities. They put up a display case about the Indians of North America with books and posters. This was to emphasize the importance of National Library Week. This year they have also put together different books that involved teachers and students. Mrs. Nelms also has book drawings each year to show the importance of taking advantage of the library. The Library and the A.V. clubs are services related to school. Students contribute study hall time, commented Mrs. Nelms. The Audio Visual Club's main job was to make video tapes, move equipment, and also do daily jobs which involve taking films to teachers and to help the teachers. I am very pleased with the kids that have been donating their time to the Library Club and the A.V. Club. Two students have really donated their time this year: Mike Costello, who has been very helpful for three years and also Doug Pierce, who has also helped for three years, smiled Mrs. Nelms.

It's none other than the game of chess. Advised by Mr. Robert Hurst, the chess club is becoming a more popular organization. But why do people enjoy playing chess and competition with other players? Sophomore John Krueger stated, It's a challenge; it makes you think, unlike any other games. Starting at the age of 12, Senior Martin Peto explained how he got started. I read a book on chess, and it really sounded intriguing. So with a little self-determination and practice, I have pushed my way up to first board. Chess is one of several clubs available to a student who isn't able to participate in sports, said Scott Tahon. For those people who plan to pursue a medical career or any field of science, the Science Club is a really informative and worthwhile club, boasted Lori True. The Science Club has taken numerous trips to Chicago and museums. They often enjoyed lectures from experts in the fields of radiology, hearing, and other medical fields. Their annual project was the jump-a-thon with all proceeds going to the heart association. Computers and key boards were highlights for the Math Club. Advised by Mrs. Jackie Lewis, the group was becoming overpopulated with students and programming them. Students who are interested in programming computers join the club by choice. It is the best way to learn because you have the computers just fingertips away, and there are older students to help you get started, explained Mrs. Lewis. Scott Tahon, Fred Hansborough, John Krueger, and Joe Bernardi represented DHS in a chess tournament against Champaign.

The answers, as the Student Council advisor Mrs. Nixon put it, reflected her feelings of the tremendous task her first time around. Managing approximately 40 students and organizing meetings in homeroom and every Wednesday with Mr. Bon-ynge isn't an easy job, but with an intelligent group of 'go-getters', it's bearable, explained Mrs. Nixon. Unlike most groups, its members were elected by their peers. The students running for an office must be prepared for making a speech, running a campaign program, and getting enough petitions to enter. Although it was a hassle, the effort that was put into the campaign was reflected in the counting of the ballots. It was also different because it was looked up to by the community; they were confronted with various problems and ideas from people around Vermilion County. According to Mrs. Nixon, Student Council is student government where representatives take action for the benefit of everybody, not just the council. A very similiar subdivision of the Student Council was the class officers. These were representatives of the separate classes: freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. For each class, there existed a group of four representatives who tried to improve their class with the help of their own advisors. This year the junior class made it through prom and several successful fund raisers with the help of their advisor Mr. Ferrell and President Shannon Bireline who stated, I enjoyed being active in my school and having a say in what was going to happen in the future. For some time sophomore vice president, Lisa Thompson, had the responsibility of finding an advisor. Mr. Smith finally came to the rescue with some helpful ideas for the class of 85, while Mr. Rusk took over the freshmen. President Reggie Chapman coaxed fellow students into being active in school. He said, I have to help the shy and timid class of '86 out of their isolation; that's why I really enjoy being a class officer. It's also interesting to find out how the school operates and brings you closer to the teachers and to understanding their problems. I can't wait until next year!

Hensley practices his Symphonic Band music in the comforts of home. Scoring With Music . . Jazz It Up! We have a fun time together while making good music ' stated junior Wendy Palmer, member of the Jazz Band. We are not a class in relation to other classes but an expression period during the day when we can tell how we feel through our music. To participate in Jazz Band, you had to be in Marching Band Symphonic Bands. Consequently, it consisted of experienced and dedicated students. Since there are no auditions, Mr. Dugle selected students who were capable of playing well and who had a sense of dedication. Members of the Jazz Band could be found playing gigs at nightclubs, banquets, and college competitions. Any money the band made went toward new instruments.

We have more motivation than in the past, and I also feel that we have built up our technique and skill. The Symphonic Orchestra has participated in many exciting activities — anything from traveling to Solo Ensemble contest in Bloomington, March 7th, to a weekend in Chicago observing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in May. The group, made up of 40 string musicians and 19 wind, brass, and percussionists, was under the direction of Mr. Frank Les-tina. Being enthusiastic musicians, the players have tackled some very challenging pieces. For the first time in three years, the orchestra has performed a full symphony. Beethoven, Symphony 1, took many after school practices and class periods, not to mention the extra hours put in privately to pull off such a fine piece of music. Last year the music department received the State Sweepstakes Award for obtaining the highest number of points in the solo and ensemble contest. Trying again this year, the orchestra entered its full limit of ten solos and ten ensembles. It has been a great experience for me. exclaimed senior orchestra member Brenda Masters. I got a lot out of it. I enjoyed meeting other people with the same interest as myself. I am hoping to further my studies in music during and after college!

Symphonic Concert Orchestra 161 Early In The Morning, Late At Night Perfecting Routines An experienced group, commented Mr. Voorhees. Even though there are more juniors than seniors, they are all very talented. Contemporaires, a group which gives students an opportunity to study music that's not normally studied with large ensembles, emphasizes contemporary music in addition to music from the 15th and 16th centuries. Experience is the best teacher, and I've learned so much through working in a smaller choral group, explained Lee Gettinger. We practice a wide variety of music, but the best part is performing! It's been a great experience!! The highlight of this year, as well as the past years, was the Madrigal dinner at St. James Church. This year the event was held on December 6th, 7th, and 8th. The 21 singles practiced everyday for one month to prepare for the event. Contemporaires involves hard work perfecting the routines, but it's worth it when we hear the applause from the people we've performed for, beamed accompanist Susan Shaw. The applause tells us we've done a good job.! What people stay after school to practice song and dance routines? If you were thinking Contemporaires, you are partially right, but there is a lesser known group made up of underclassmen with just as much talent — Madri-Cals and Guys. With a group of 28 members, Madri-Gals and Guys' size gave it the versatility to perform their type of entertainment. Performances by the group were held at the Elk's Country Club, Palmer Bank, and Lakeview Medical Center. Mr. Krueger, choir director commented, They have a great deal of talent, not only as individuals but also as a group. Not only did they display talent through their performances but also in the way the group worked together. Their work included practices every Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7:15 and sometimes after school according to Lori Davis, member of Madri-Cals and Guys. Another member, Michelle Palmer added, The practices and performances give us the experience of performing our routines in front of large audiences and prepare us for Contemporaires.

I'm Strolling! I can't believe I'm strolling! was the first thought which came to Renee Lyman as she performed at the Museum Society's luncheon, October 5th. Renee, a sophomore, and 17 other students from the Symphonic Orchestra met throughout the year during homeroom to comprise the Strolling Strings. Under the direction of Mr. Frank Lestina, the group performed at luncheons, dinner engagements, and the mall, for groups desiring a string sound but not having the accomodations for a large orchestra. At the beginning of the year, the musicians were assigned a few songs that were to be memorized. I never thought I could, Renee said. But they got the job done, and truly earned the title Strolling Strings. The music was specially arranged for the purpose of strolling by Mr. James Red McLeod. On December 15th and 16th, the group traveled to the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago to perform for Mr. McLeod and to hear another strolling group from Kenosha, Wisconsin, under the direction of Mr. Stan Nosal. Two thirds of the program the Strolling Strings played was on stage, and the remainder could be heard all over the room while the players actually strolled. Strolling Strings gives everyone the experience of playing in an ensemble, stated Stephanie Smitha, the accompanist for the group. It makes everyone a stronger player. Because of the size of the group, each part is im- portant. It builds up confidence in oneself, self-assurance, and responsibility. It is the sharing of one's talents with the public audience; a form of self-expression. Performances included an appearance at the Symphony Ball on December 4th, the Octoberfest at the VA on October 8th, the Village Mall during Arts Week October 3rd, the Gao Grotto on November 6th, and the District 118 secretary's banquet on November 30th. Mr. Lestina, director of the group, has discovered that the Strolling Strings is a community involvement group. It's the best way the strings at the high school have of reaching the public, Mr. Lestina commented. We represent DHS each time we perform.

Strolling Strings 163 In Harmony You are only as strong as your weakest person, said LeAnn Koerner, a member of the flag corps. In the Danville High School Marching Band, a lot of hard work and many hours truly paid off in this year's marching season. With a dominant first year marching squad, along with fine senior leadership, the band had a challenging show, said band director Roger Sampson. Mr. Sampson, along with Dale Hopper, Robert Stiehl, and Joe Jar-useski, arranged all of the music for the band. Cheryl Littlefield was the color guard instructor; Joe Jaruseski and Mike Lahey instructed the drum line. The drill design was done by Mr. Sampson, and the music was prepared by Jon Dugle. Annually, the Marching Vikings host the Viking Invitational. This year 13 bands entered. Joliet-West took first place in field competition, and Newton took first in parade. The Viking Invitational went over well this year, stated Mr. Sampson. The 156 member band attended band camp at EIU August 14-19. They participated in two parades — the Danville Labor Day Parade and the Viking Invitational Parade. They competed in the music bowl in Chicago, the Lancer Joust at Lake Park in Roselle, II., University of Illinois Festival, the ISU State of Illinois Invitational Marching Band Championship, which they received third place in the state in class AA, and the Viking Invitational as a non-competitive band. We had a successful season. It was a difficult show, and they constantly improved on it, said Mr. Dugle. It sets the mood for the rest of the year. They got a lot out of it because they put so much into it.

What It Means To Be A Band Member In Harmony Who in his right mind would march along a parade route in 32 degree weather for three hours or in 80 degree weather in full uniform? You guessed it! The Band of Vikings. Not only did they show their dedication through these situations; they also practiced every day after school for eleven weeks. As junior Trina Ryan stated, It takes dedication and pride in what you're doing to sacrifice that much time. With the new eligibility policy passed by District 118, any student failing a subject would be unable to participate in extracurricular activities the following week. Marching band was included as an extra-curricular activity. Even though this had an effect on the band, they stuck together throughout the season, improving each time they performed. Tackling such a difficult show, they proved their love for music. Expressed by Sherie Bonebright, Marching Band was the greatest. It was truly the highlight of my high school years! Although marching season has been completed, the memories will always be there — band camp, senior serenade, competitions, and football games.

Good Music If you happened to be in the south end of the school and heard the perfect, and sometimes not so perfect, unison of a band, you could have been hearing Symphonic, Concert, Pep, or Freshman bands. The talent of the Symphonic Band is the best I have seen in my 12 years here, said Mr. Jon Dugle, music department head. Competitive auditions determined the members of Symphonic Band. The band consisted of experienced and talented students. Also chosen through auditions, members of the Concert Band were seated. Challenges for a chair could be made both up and down and in any of the bands. Another band, Pep Band, was purely voluntary. Since it was an extracurricular activity, practices were held after school. The Pep Band's main purpose was to perform at basketball games to promote school spirit. It is going well because the band members really want to be here, noted director Mr. Roger Sampson.

New Look: Same Sound Singing Vikings teaches discipline, achievement, and most importantly the ability to work as a whole in a group, pointed out Elaine O'Ban-non. I enjoy being involved in music, commented Marla Davis, You get to know a lot of people. Elaine and Marla were among 64 juniors and seniors who met daily in room G-201 during fourth hour. Beginning November 1st, the group went to the University of Illinois where they performed for students in the music department. The group also took two, one day trips to high schools, approximately 150 to 200 miles away. Fall and Christmas concerts were presented on November 9th and December 19th. In an effort to raise money, the group sold cheese and sausage during the month of October. From last year's sales, the group was able to buy new robes. The funds were also used for chartering buses and buying new music. I take music because it's my own way of self-expression. Hopefully, someday I will be performing music in one way or another, commented Daryl Huff with a confident smile. I plan to go into music as a career, and this class really helps, noted Kelly O'Connell. SOPRANO I: FRONT ROW: Kelly O'Connell, Lori True, Stacy Hanson, Kathy Clark.

Energy And Enthusiasm Those freshmen have so much energy, exclaimed Mr. Karl Krueger, freshman choir director. To benefit their practices, the freshman choir divided its 52 members into two groups, male and female. Although this did not happen on a regular basis, choir directors Mr. Larry Voorhees and Mr. Krueger, decided to split the group when it was necessary. The freshmen choir is full of potential, said Mr. Krueger. They are all going to be good singers. The Viking Chorale was another choir di- rected by Mr. Krueger. The choir was made up primarily of sophomores, and also there were juniors and seniors in the group. With members of both the freshman choir and Viking Chorale in Marching Band, the dates for performing sometimes conflicted. Overall, only having that problem Mr. Krueger thought it was supportive since it was musically oriented. A music student should have all the music he can get, commented Mr. Krueger. In a freshman choir rehearsal, Mr. Krueger expresses an open vowel sound. SOPRANOS: FRONT ROW: Valerie Cleveland, Cathy Creek, Melisa Hardesty, Teresa Smith, Lois Hall, Linda Gaston.

Whether or not you play on an organized team, in school or out, team spirit plays an important role in winning as well as losing. With determination, you set out to achieve your goal of winning. Playing to the best of your ability, you help to bring about a victory. Despite a loss, you maintain morale by boosting everyone's spirits. Enthusiasm is generated by a sense of unity. With this unity comes a responsibility to do well for yourself, as well as for your teammates. The results of this enthusiasm produce a winning season as shown by the girl's softball team's 24-4 record and the boy's tennis team's 10-0 record. With their 18-1 record, the girl's track team proves that unity among team members can make a difference. If it wasn't for our team spirit and community support, our school would not be IN SUCH FINE SHAPE.

Behind The Sports' Scene For Granted Taken What aspect of sports puts in the longest hours and gets the least respect? Who must be at every home game, meet, or match? Unless you were involved in a sport, you might not have appreciated the job done by the trainers, managers, and commentators. Not to mention the cheerleaders and pom-pettes! They each played a part in the behind — the — scenes look of any sports event. Managing a team requires a lot of hard work that most people don't realize. Most of the work is done for players — like taping, fixing, and washing. That's a job most people take for granted. We are just thought of as water-boys, but we work as hard as anyone else! explained Jim Bates, football manager. Student trainers and managers were under the direction of Larry Piper, other-wise known as Ease . As well as training the students, he helped injured athletes, was in charge of equipment, and was a leader for injury prevention. I try and see that the injury is prevented before it happens,” commented Larry Piper. For those who can't make it to the game, the voice of Ray Schmidt could often be heard instead. Calling the plays for Varisty basketball with Steve Birky, Mr. Schmidt stated, Viewing the action from the booth is, for me, no different than watching it on T.V. or as a common spectator. It's mainly due to the fact that I have been a coach for so long, and I keep a running tally on the statistics. Through clubs that support athletic teams like the Viking Sluggers, student participation could be felt outside the athletic field. We help keep the baseball team's spirit up! Not all of us can make it to every game, but when we are there, we let them know it. If you get the chance, come to Garfield Park and support the baseball team, remarked Carrie George, member of Viking Sluggers. Taken For Granted 177 Record Reversed About-Face After catching a short pass over the middle. Senior LaWayne Thompson struggles to break the hold of a Schlarman defender. Blue-32-Hutt- Hutt! The varsity football season had its rough spots, but it was overall an exceptional season. The team finished the year with a record of six wins and three losses. Although the scores weren't as high as the team and coaches had hoped, there were several positive comments toward their performance. The team this year was overall an excellent team with a lot of dedication. The guys put in much more effort than we usually get; they played up to their ability, and that's all we can ask for, remarked head coach John Fogle-man. Mr. Frank Lu-zenske coached the offensive line and was very pleased with their cooperation with each other. They all got along well, complimented each other, and played well as a unit. While the coaches were optimistic, the players were slightly upset with their season's record but found its positive attributes. Stated Matt El-dridge, offensive guard, After playing for seven years, I still love playing the game. This year was no exception; we had more talented individuals, and our positions were separately improved by constant practice. Center Scott Zorns replied, This year the coaches had an excellent team to work with — we were strong and talented, but we needed to scrimmage more often. Looking ahead to next year, Coach Fogleman stated optimistically, If the sophomores develop like I think they will, we'll be all right. It depends on what they do during the off season.

We lacked the quantity, but we made up in quality. These were but a few comments from sophomore's football coach Kevin Kane. The sophomores were undefeated in 1982-83 season and showed excellent team work. But what made the sophomores so successful compared to previous seasons? Coach Kane felt it was the explosive offense and indestructible defense. He said, The kids were so fast there was no need for a defensive back. According to quarter- back Matt Crawford, There were strong individual efforts, and it all worked well together. We have a good varsity lineup. While sophomores had an impressive year, the freshman football team practiced for the future varsity team. Sophomore Assistant Coach Henry Coan stated, The freshmen are trained well enough to outfit another team like this year's sophomores. Unlike the others, Coaches Dierking and Blanden have no idea what to expect from the kids from year to year. Dierk- ing stated, Every year we get a fresh group of guys coming in from the middle schools. We never know what to expect, but their freshman year is usually just a year of preparation and training for quality competition. Why do guys play football? The reasons vary from person to person. Freshman Chuck Dyer plays because he likes the challenge of physical contact. Often, the freshmen and sophomores, with enough dedication and determination, could make it to the major leagues.

Small But Mighty ''Small but mighty was the description of the Cross Country team given by coach John Eakle. With less than the minimum requirement of five runners, the team had to forfeit two meets but still managed to place second in the Big 12 Conference meet. Because of illness and ineligibility, they figured they would place fourth or fifth in the conference. Al- though the harriers did not qualify for the state meet, they displayed their great range of abilities even though they had a smaller than average team. Workouts consisted of eight to ten mile runs, running 440's, and running sprints on the football field. Practice usually lasted two hours every night after school. Captaining the harriers to their second place district finish was Eric Kidwell, who was also voted most valuable runner. High Scholastic recipient was Scott Spicer.

Last year's team was so good that people didn't expect much from this year's team. They were simply overshadowed by last year's champions, admitted Coach Birky. The Big 12 Con- ference victory was the biggest highlight for the team. They knew they could win, but no one else did. The team practiced at the Elks every weekday for two and a half to three hours.

Drive and desire — that's what volley-ball coach Mary Bunyard feels builds a team. The 1982 volleyball team's number one goal was to play together more as a team. Since they lost so many seniors last year, the team had to work together to get the inexperienced players up to the level of the experienced. Another goal was to beat cross-town rival Schlarman. Their aim was accomplished. Once you know you can win it's easier, said Coach Bunyard. Miss Bunyard recalled the team's most memorable game. We played Rantoul the day after the seeding meeting.

To improve the previous year's record and to once again send girls to state competition. According to coach Dotsy Fogleman, both of these goals were achieved. Although there were some doubts, the girls compiled a 7-7 record, two more wins than last year's team. The duo team of Sandy Hible and Stacy Fogleman qualified for the state meet where they were defeated by the 7 players from LaGrange, Illinois. Senior Stacy Fog- leman's most memorable and exciting meet was district. Sandy and I really wanted to qualify for state. That was our goal for the season. We played four matches, our third match victory qualified us for state. Sandy and I were both exhausted. When we were off the courts, we were freezing and on the courts we were hot. Our last match would either place us in third or fourth place. We were psyched! Losing the first set, we knew we had to be more ag- gressive. It was now a matter of not letting each other get down. Our strategy worked! Sandy and I went home with a third place victory. Coach Fogleman emphasized that the girls played all year long. A championship team is one that plays twelve months out of the year, not three months of the season. Most valuable player awards were presented to Stacy Fogleman and team captain Sandy Hible. In addition, Stacy attained high scholastic honors.

It makes me feel great that the team looks up to me and voted me captain. In its second year, one of the newest sports at Danville High was the girls' swim team. Of the nine girls on the team, seven of them lettered in the sport. The girls practiced every day from 3-5 at Nelson's pool. During their practices, they covered 5,000 to 7,000 yards each practice.They also had Saturday morn- ing practices if they weren't competing in a meet. The swim team has been a good ex-perience, explained Julie Eaton. In the years to come, I will look back and remember the hard work and fun. The team's goal was to place in the top three at conference and place in the top four in sectionals. They didn't achieve their goal, but Coach Vish confidently declared, They'll make it next Alison Wagner begins her reverse dive with the difficult first stage, while warming up before competition at Elks pool. 190 Girls' Swimming Keeping Sfacy Moore and Susan Esslinger on their toes, Tracy Smith looks on with a watchful eye.

Pleasing indeed! The team kicked off their season with a win over the Lincoln Railsplitters in double overtime. Since both teams were in contention for the Big 12 championship, it was a vital win for the Vikings. The strong spots for the team were undoubtedly in the defense as well as in the swiftness of the players. Because of the team's disciplined offense and defense, a strong positive mental attitude was developed by each player. I had a very enjoyable coaching experience, noted Coach Gourley. I also noticed much improvement during the final half of the season.

Not Enough Recognition Stacking Up Wins Not bad for an underclassman, said Senior varsity player Phil Haussy. In fact, their records were excellent. As of February 11, the freshman team boasted a record of eleven wins and one defeat, while the JV stacked up an honorable six wins and eight losses. Our record doesn't give us credit for all the hard work we've put in, stated Coach Ritz. Freshmen and JV of any sport are rarely given proper recognition and credit for their potential and their work, emphasized Coach Houpt. This year's teams are very physically talented, and they are willing to learn how to use that talent. As with all teams, these underclassmen also experience sleepless nights and half finished homework, agony of tortuous practices, and humiliation of defeat. Having either practices for a game to six days a week can get to be a heavy schedule, but it does pay off in that big game, commented Coach Houpt.

Picture yourself at a home basketball game. The crowd gets rowdy as the student section chants D.H.S., D.H.S., D.H.S. . All of a sudden the Spirit Viking followed by the basketball team breaks through the arch! The crowd rises to its feet as the band plays the fight and cheer songs. Behind all of that glory is a team whose foundation is hard at work! ''I work really hard, but then again sitting on the bench isn't that difficult, joked junior John Fields. Basketball is a lot of hard work, but to me it's worth it. I like being on a team and working together on the court. It's like a part-time job. Just being able to help as an individual is worth the extra trouble, stated Marcus Minor. I've had a lot of support from my parents concerning my early love for basketball, remarked Lady Viking Tina Bott. They never discouraged me from playing on an all male team in 5th grade. I love playing on a well organized team! On the court, basketball players must have many things on their mind: who to guard, where to go next, when will the quarter end. With so many pressures and the tough competition, why is the game so well liked? According to Van Cow-den, I play for the competition! It's fun, and my slam-dunkers are a real crowd pleaser. It is like being famous. Every player has had past experiences and trained by playing other sports during the off season. LaWayne Thompson started playing in the 5th grade, My brother pushed me into sports-foot-ball and basketball, but as it turned out, with a lot practice, basketball is now my sport. I started in sixth grade and kept in shape by lifting weights, jogging, and participating in the men's 'Dust Bowls' at the park in the summer months, remarked Marcus Minor. I don't really know why I keep coming back every year. I guess that maybe I'm just possessed with the drive to beat a team that has beaten us the past season, decided Lady Viking Debbie Pope. I like the satisfaction I received from that. 1% Slam-Dunk It! Outjumping his Spring-Held opponent, Angelo Newell wins a jump ball for the Vikings Varsity.

With ten seconds left, Lavonna Crosby brings the ball up-court. She passes to Lisa Dye. Back to Crosby — she fires it inside to center Chavala King. King puts up a shot — it's good! Another win for the Lady Vikings! This could have been a radio broadcast of a typical DHS girls' basketball game, as they won seven out of eight first games. Junior Varsity Coach Bunyard felt that her squad was successful. The J.V. team is a stepping stone for the varsity level. Our first priority is to orientate and teach the girls how to run an offense, how to shoot, how to work together as a team, and how to keep control. Although our team has shared its rough spots at times — in the end they were refined! Varsity Coach Fred Menkhaus was worried about the season's success due to the loss of two super players: Sue Cline and Michelle Mar-iage. But once practice began, We were bound and determined to maintain the quality of play we've had in seasons past. Skills were well executed and everyone had the team concept. To be a basketball player, you must be in good shape in order to have endurance for the constant stop — and — go of running. Center Chavala King, senior, found that daily practice and attending basketball camp helped in maintaining the stamina she needed for games. Other players resorted to jogging, exercising, had participating in other sports activities to be physically fit. 198 Girls' Basketball Battling a Central opponent for a rebound, Cindy Parson and Chavala King help the Vikings to a 43-32 win.

Wrestling, one of the oldest and simplest forms of the athletic arts, is practiced in every country known. The object of the competition is to test your strength, agility, and quickness against your opponent. Why exactly do young men like to compete in this way? Kenny Brandon explained his motives for wrestling. “I started when I was in the ninth grade. I wanted a challenge, plus it gave me an excuse to throw people around without getting into trouble. Russell Phillips re- marked, It's the competition and the challenge that makes me want to keep wrestling and improve my scores. The wrestling team was on top of things. Coach Kevin Kane was proud of the production of the team. The team has improved at least 100% every year. I think if the kids had more experience, we would be better, but so far so good. Coach Pascal simply stated, We are a 'seesaw' team with our ups and downs, but the talent is there. A strict diet to maintain a stable weight and painful workouts can make a person think twice about the sport, but for Senior Kenny Brandon, who weighed 170, it was worth it. Every other day I run, lift weights, and watch everything I put in my body. What are the thoughts of a wrestler when he is in the middle of a match? Can the coach be heard? Most of his concentration has been devoted to the anticipation of his opponent's next move and what to do defensively to counteract his moves. If you participate in wrestling you, too, can be on top of it all!

The DHS swimming team continued to win consistently year in and year out. Piling up seven wins in its first eight meets and finishing 2nd and 3rd in two prestigious tournaments, the swim team carried on the excellent Viking tradition. The team set its sights high, hoping to finish in the top two in both confer- ence and sectional competition, as well as qualifying swimmers for state in several events. The swimmers practiced daily from 3:00 to 5:00, proving their earnestness to achieve their goals. Senior Tom Wagner felt the team was stronger because, We learned to work better with Mr. Vish. Jim Olsen added, We are stronger in more events because of a greater depth. Coach Vish felt the swimmers improved considerably over the course of the season. The team had a unique mixture of young and veteran swimmers, and this combination provided the team with both experience and depth. As the younger swimmers gain experience, all signs seem to indicate that things would stay the same.

The girls' lockerroom is off limits! Being coached by Ray Schmitt and assistant coach Henry Coan posed a problem for the 1982 girls' soft-ball team's celebrations. Yet this team, with a 21-4 season, didn't feel there were any disadvantages to being coached by the opposite sex. The coaches were also satisfied with the girls' performance. Coach Schmitt stated, It is different than coaching boys in the sense that girls are more sensitve to constructive criticism, and you have to be careful of what you say to them. Coan added, The girls are very enthusiastic and eager to better themselves. whereas boys simply play because it's a boy's sport. Tania Wilson, who made first team all conference as an undefeated pitcher, enjoyed being coached by Mr. Schmitt. He has taught us a lot about softball and sportsmanship, but there is no difference in being coached by a male. Reaching the goals they set for themselves, the team had a very successful season. They won 21 and lost four games, which sent them to the regional. Six of the team's top players, Sue Cline, Sarah Darnell, Michelle Mariage, Tania Wilson, Jill Jackson and Jackie Fletcher, went to the first team all conference last year. This season will be spent rebuilding the team after losing so many good players, and we hope to continue our fine performance,'' said Schmitt confidently. Aside from last year's softball team, the outdoor season was in tune with the girls' track tradition. They continued to be undefeated in all dual meets and finished second in their only quad meet. They won the Ur-bana Invitational for the second straight year and also won the Big 12 Championship. The girls finished their season by placing fifth at the district meet and qualifying four girls for the state meet. The girls did not make the finals but a good effort was made.

Although they were defeated in the second game of the regional, the team still boasted a 14-8 sea- son record which isn't bad but could have been better, Dowers said with a smile.

Finkle and Wiesemann were playing doubles Bill Mann takes his racket back to prepare for his forehand groundstroke. against a team seeded third in the state. We won the first set, lost the second, and were winning 3-0 in the third set when the opposing team came back to take the victory at 7-5.

JV Gets No Respect Overlooked Neglected? Not given enough attention? Does this describe how people react to an athletic team if they aren't varsity? According to the J.V. participants, they don't receive enough credit for their efforts. Charlie Richards explained, People don't think we play as a team, and since our scores aren't posted on every wall or recorded on permanent records, they feel it isn't worth their while to watch us. We aren't praised enough because we're the 'underdogs' of sports. We are younger and (as most people say) unexperienced. Why then would anyone coach rejected teams? Coach Ritz coached J.V. basketball and thoroughly enjoyed it. The future years look promising and the J.V. teams shouldn't be looked down upon. When the coaches get the incoming freshmen, we train them to be able to play to their potential, but like everyone else they need support and crowd enthusiasm, commented Coach Ritz.

Junior Varsity 213 Proud parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham look on with Mr. Kay and Joe Be-gani, a Yankee scout, as Herman makes it official by signing with the Yankees. Herman Cunningham takes a healthy cut with a bat as he attempts to retain the all-important timing of his batting stroke. 214 Stardom Struck Post-High School Fame Stardom Struck Does the old movie phrase, From rags to riches really apply to reality? For Herman Cunningham, all his childhood dreams have come true, and the Hollywood theory was proven to be correct. Herman's high school sports activities served as the foundation for his baseball stardom, a childhood dream. Cunningham was named to the All-State Squad last spring, after an impressive senior year in which he batted .529 with 15 home-runs and 32 R.B.I's. Six feet, five inches tall and 220 pounds, he was listed as one of the top 25 major league prospects in the nation by the Chicago Tribune. The dream became a reality when the New York Yankees offered him a contract to play with them. When he signed, Herman replied, I'm not going to be happy until I make it to the Yankee Stadium. Wouldn't you think that if you were stardom struck people would treat you differently? Herman has not noticed any changes and added, that more people talk to me and ask me questions, but they don't seem to treat me any better than they used to. Of course, like most things there is a lot of competition between athletes. This was the case for Herman Cunningham. There was a lot of hard competition. Just because you may have been good at your high school didn't mean that other people weren't just as good at theirs. I had to have a lot of self-confidence to keep me going. Senior Dave Wie-seman also experienced competition at Southern Illinois University, but through the sport of tennis. Though high school tennis seemed pretty tough at the time, it's a lot tougher at the college level. Even the guys on the main traveling team were probably in the top two on their high school team. Dave Wieseman was thankful, too, like Herman Cunningham for his high school training he received that enabled him to perfect his talent, continue to perfect his athletic skills into his college career, and be able to enjoy playing the sport he loves so well. The proverb practice makes perfect applied to Dave. As a freshman in college, he found that everyday he practices two or more hours a day when there wasn't the usual semiweekly meet. In order to stay in shape, he perfected the skills needed for the highly competitive season which lay ahead. Practice did indeed pay off and Dave found himself ninth position on the nontraveling team with high hopes of higher position and on the traveling team. Perhaps someone can be struck by stardom and someone can pursue a sports career in college, but this could not become a reality if it were not for the foundational training one receives in high school. Herman Cunningham expressed his sincere gratitude to DHS for allowing his childhood dream to come true and promised to make DHS proud of him! Keeping in mid-season form, Herman Cunningham fires the ball across the gym as he works out during the winter. Moving in for the kill, Dave Wieseman takes a short shot in the run, ready to smash it past his opponent.

When I heard about the Tylenol incident, I just thought another screw up, — Sophomore from Mr. Schmidt's second hour health class. More than just another screw up, the seven killings in the Chicago area linked to cyanide-laced Tylenol were ruled as homicides. Within hours after the discovery of the tainted tablets, authorities started recalling 22 million bottles of extra-strength and regular capsules. Sophomore students from the second hour health classes gave their views of how they felt after the incident. The feelings ranged from being confused and frightened to being outraged that it could happen in the United States. Before the incident, 66% of those students polled said they had used Tylenol. Afterwards, out of those who had used Tylenol before, 55% said they would continue to use it. In their search for the culprit, authorities in Chicago investigated more than 200 leads daily. When asked what action they would like to see taken, a majority of students wanted precautionary measures such as tamper-proof packaging taken by the manufacturers. On the side of catching the killer, one student thought, The authorities have done all they can. Another thought, When they catch the criminal, they should put him away for life to discourage other product poisonings. Before the cyanide poisonings, Tylenol was the best selling pain reliever, capturing 37% of the market. Sales halted when the pain reliever was taken off the shelves. Johnson and Johnson, maker of Tylenol, started to advertise again with a campaign which included the new tamperproof packaging of their product. Have the poisonings reduced the amount of Tylenol sold? A sophomore from Miss Menges' second hour health class best summed it up, I don't take Tylenol anymore; I take Excedrin. Which one will it be — Tylenol or Anacin? Faith Nibbe chooses the Anacin in light of the cyanide poisonings in Chicago. Decisions. Faith Nibbe looks at the multitude of pain relievers on the shelves at Gulick's Pharmacy.

Second w National Bank sewsss Echoes Of The Past Do you remember in the second grade or possibly Girl Scouts when you went on a field trip to the Vermillion County Museum? I'm sure the memory still lingers in your mind. It's hard to forget lining up single file and walking past relics such as Abraham Lincoln's bed. Now that you are older, you can better appreciate the historical value of these artifacts. Each showroom in the museum has a different theme from Dr. Fith-ian's room which contains a wheelchair, medicines, and amputation utensils to the Feldkamp Parlor which contains a grand piano manufactured in 1868, a wreath made of goose feathers, and a pink settee with matching chairs from the Revolutionary War era. Probably one of the most impressive and famous rooms is the Lincoln room. Whenever Abraham Lincoln was in Dan- ville, he stayed at the Fithian house. As the story goes, Lincoln, in 1858, came to Danville and was ushered to the Fithian house and to the room which is now dedicated to him. As he sat down and took off his boots, he heard voices coming through the window. He tried to put his boots back on in order to make a speech, but his feet were swollen. Dr. Fithian suggested he climb out on the balcony since he couldn't go outside without his boots. In the end, Lincoln did climb onto the balcony, in his stocking feet, where he made an impromptu speech to the people of Danville amidst the Lincoln-Douglas debates and his run for the Illinois State Senate. With this only being a brief summary of what you can see and hear in the Vermilion County Museum, why not visit it yourself to get a full view of what you are missing? Capturing the 19th century, this canopied bed is the original bed that Abraham Lincoln slept in. Resembling a doctor's office of the 1800's, Dr. Fithian's room shows the original equipment and medicines he used. Instrument from a different time. This piano manufactured in 1868 is the eye catcher in the Feldkamp Parlor. 236 Vermilion County Museum In the Lincoln room, a mannequin resembling Abe stands in front of the window in which he climbed out to make his speech to the people of Vermilion County.

You Better Not Go In Dashers’ Locker Room What is red, white, and blue, has 38 legs and spends most of its time on the ice? None other than the Danville Dashers hockey team!! We had the chance to interview four members of the 19 member team: Dave Cooper, goalie; Tom Margiotti, goalie; Henry Cox, and Steve Doll. One of the first questions asked, which is essential for the hockey team, was how much fan support they received. All agreed that it was 100%. Because they were Walmer Cup Champions last year, we asked Dave Cooper how it felt to be in conference play. Definitely, there's a feeling of excitement. For Steve Doll, it was more a nervous feeling. Hockey, for the most part, is an aggressive sport, and we asked each how he got interested in hockey. When I was ten, I saw a St. Louis Blues game on T.V. Ever since then I've been playing, said Steve Doll. I started playing on an amateur hock- Overlooking the ice, Steve Doll plans with His teammates the strategy for the upcoming game. ey team when I was eleven, commented Dave Cooper. Tom Margiotti started playing in his backyard at age five. Hockey thrives on competition. Who was their toughest opponent? Troy was the winner in that category. For those interested in becoming hockey players, be warned that you have to work out at least three times a week on Nautilus. If you were a goalie, you would wear equipment weighing 45 pounds. Since they practice one to two times a day for two hours each time and play numerous games each season, they spent a lot of time together. The team is like a family, and my teammates are like brothers, smiled Dave Cooper. While sitting in the cluttered Dasher locker room, Tom Margiotti adjusts his face mask. Tom Margiotti looks on, while Steve Doll sharpens the blade of his skates for the next hockey game. Getting the gear together, Tom Margiotti assists Henry Cox in rewrapping his hockey stick.

From reading blueprints to designing one and making a finished product, Bill Pundt, a junior, feels self motivation makes you finish what you start. Motivation can take many forms. For Carrie George, it means practicing daily on her clarinet, in school and out, which led to her being chosen for All-State Band. In a second consecutive year, Jerry Gore is picked for All-State Theater. I learned the brick and mortar of being an actor including how to influence an audience as well as how to say something when you don't feel inspired. Academically, Fred Porcheddu states, The highlight of my senior year was being selected as an Illinois State Scholar. Along the same line, Craig Estepp's motivation is shown through his letter of commendation as a National Merit Scholar which requires a score in the top five percent of those who took the test in the nation. Another motivating factor for students is the newly-instituted Television Broadcasting. In its formative years, the program has been a growing process, Any time you have some problems, but things are looking up, says Mr. Ferrell. With educational opportunities almost limitless, another motivating program, VOTEC, offers a wide curriculum. We base the course of study on individual competency. We don't assume that everyone has the same abilities. In that way, we have a lot more success, adds Mr. Chase. On a team, motivation can come from your teammates as well as yourself. With encouragement from my teammates, the competition is not as tough as it seems, notes Phil Haussey, varsity basketball player. This encouragement and confidence keep the student body IN FINE SHAPE. Bill Pundt gets straight to work figuring out his blueprint in Mr. Crygiel's class. Practicing up for All-State, Cheryl Keefer, Carrie George, and Pam Hesser play their clarinets in unison every night after school until their performance. 254 Closing In the spotlight! Robyn Briggs and Mr. Ferrell have a chat while Tony Smith and Fred Porcheddu roll the cameras. Closing 255 Through the efforts of individuals, cooperation as a group is accomplished. This cooperation can be seen in the activities by groups such as Kids That Care and A.F.S. whose programs benefit the community as well as create a better understanding of the world. With the individuals who make up these organizations, a 130 member faculty and 2,005 enrollment, Danville High School is IN FINE SHAPE. Growing In Fine Shape.
