C V J V ? r You won’t believe what I just heard? What, tell me? Tammy Chenoweth made Spirit Viking! You’re kidding me! No, she’s the first girl Viking since 1969. Well, it’s about time ‘we’ girls showed those guys! Yeah, I know what you mean. She beat out 3 guys. Wow, but I bet she was nervous. Naw, she’s that kind of person. What ‘kind of’ person do ya’ mean? The kind it takes to do it. To do what? I’m confused. Just remember this; “IT TAKES ALL KINDS” to make this school and Tammy is an extra-ordinary kind! The date was August 26; the place 202 E. Fairchild. And the crime, the start of the ’86-’87 school year. Despite obvious procrastination by both the 2078 students and the 185 faculty and staff, school promptly resumed at 7:50 a.m. Once vacant halls came alive with the sounds of students chattering about summer activities ranging from relaxing by local pools to cruising down Main Street. But, no matter what the activity was, students finally realized that the ‘Kind’ of activity involving learning had once again begun. “Playing No. 1 this year has taught me that I must play year round tennis to be able to compete. It has also taught me leadership and responsibility. ” — sophomore Michelle Luttrell 2 OPENING During a pep assembly on Sept. 19th for the home opener against Lincoln, the football players await their turn to be introduced by athletic director Mrs. Mel-ten.

But, it didn’t happen. Students and faculty returned to the three story building in the same manner as 62 classes had before. However, this wasn’t to imply that nothing had changed, for students did have to pay fifteen dollars to park, and twelve teaching positions were eliminated. Even so, rather than dwell on the negative changes, the students chose to only concentrate on the positive. Perhaps the most physical, positive “Kind” of change came from the school custodians. They managed not only to make basic improvements to the building like cleaning the floors, but also to paint both the first and second floors and twenty classrooms. The new look gave students a better atmosphere for studying. If the new scenery didn’t work, then perhaps one of the twenty-two organizations managed to gain student’s interests. The Marching Band of Vikings performed in their second bowl appearance in two years at the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona. Meanwhile, the AFS club kept busy entertaining the three foreign exchange students Danville received. Finally, the 1986 Medley staff wrote its way to a second consecutive All-American rating from the National Scholastic Press Association and Medalist honors from Columbia University. With Danville’s size, ‘IT TOOK ALL KINDS’ of clubs to keep the students interested. “Managing is fun, but it takes a lot of time and effort to do the job of providing for others. It is a job that is very rewarding. ” — junior Jerry Williams OPENING 5 n the community, changes occurred on a regular basis. Danville received its first Hills store on the 19th of Oct., located next to the new Green Chevrolet dealership on Vermilion Street. Further south, the Grand Opening of the New Village Mall took place on Nov. 12th. Also, students with cars rejoiced in the completion of a year and three month renovation of Vermilion Street. Finally, Danville had a turn lane. Even in the community ‘It Took All Kinds’ of changes to make Danville better. Hey, Mark, can you believe that girl? I’d kill my girlfriend if she wore something like that! Well, 1 don’t think it’s that bad. What about that kid with the funny haircut. Now, he looks ridiculous. Whoa, wait a minute. I think it looks sharp. Dang, we just can’t agree on anything. I know. We must be total opposites. Yeah, but that’s not so bad. Why, shouldn’t friends be alike? No way. Why? Well, it sure would be boring if we were all alike. I think ‘IT TAKES ALL KINDS’ to make the world more interesting besides not everyone can be perfect like us! “Contemporaires is really great. It’s a big step up compared to Freshman Choir. The thing that really makes it great is I’m one of the only sophomores. ” — sophomore Julie White 6 OPENING In order to perfect their game, freshman Rob Cinder and junior Mike Schoon work out regularly at the Danville Area Community College soccer field.

Well, my boss wants me to work a few hours after school, and I need the money, so I said I would. Plus, it talsoc an noi� r r nof takes an hour or two to get this body ready. Right! Oh, listen. Are you and Tracey going to the teen dance on Saturday at Harrison Park? Yeah, I think so. She says she would rather do that than go to a party. Well hey, that’s what they’re for. One last thing before you go; is Tina going with you guys tonight? Yeah, Tracey said she was. Why? Well, would you mind introducing me? I think she looks real good. You bet, then the four of us can have ‘All Kinds of Fun’! 8 STUDENT LIFE DIVIDER In order to keep in perfect form.

Grygiel) STUDENT LIFE DIVIDER 9 A MODEL ACHIEVEMENT Senior Shane Wilson has been interested in trains ever since he could remember. In the spring of 1985, his favorite hobby shop in Covington, IN went out of business, and Wilson was not able to find the things he wanted in the Danville area. So, he decided to open his own hobby shop that would specialize in model trains. “All Aboard Hobbies” opened on March 18, 1986, at 1810 S. Jefferson in Tilton with Shane Wilson as the sole owner and operator. “There was a need for a supplier, and I needed money for college,” said Wilson. Wilson and some friends painted and carpeted the garage of the Wilson home, put up shelving, and with the help and advice of the owner of the shop in Covington, Wilson purchased some models, paint, and “scratch” building supplies. The shop was licensed in Wilson’s name. Wilson said that he may hire someone to work when he goes to college. At times, Wilson made up to $2500 per month. He put most of the money back FALSE ALARM into the shop to buy more supplies. “All Aboard Hobbies” sold model trains and accessories, plastic models, radio controlled cars, model rockets, and magazines on models. Wilson spent many of his weekends traveling around Illinois and Indiana attending model railroad shows. He contributed two train sets for a raffle to the Model Railroad Show which was held in November at the U.A.W. Civic Center in Tilton. Wilson relied on his mother for help with different as- The sounding of the fire alarm occurred unexpectedly throughout the year. When the alarm rang, most students and teachers waited for the voice of Mr. Bonynge to sound over the intercom and say, “Teachers, please keep the students in the classrooms.” The false alarm scared some people. “I’m really afraid that someday there will be a real fire, and we’ll all be fried,” said Mrs. Shari Kaulig, | Spanish teacher. When the fire alarm rang, it was also heard at the fire station. The station didn’t know when the call was real or not. Therefore, Mr. Bonynge had to call the fire station and let them know. Creating a false alarm violates city laws and school rules. There were severe con-sequences for someone caught pulling a fire alarm unnecessarily. Expulsion from v school and arrest were two. When the alarms went off so often, it was impossible to tell what could be a real fire and what was fake. Some people thought of that as a bonus. “If we ever have a real fire, I probably won’t even be scared because I’m so used to the false alarms,” said junior Jenny Rosendale. There were other students, however, who found the uncertainty more reason for worry. “I’m afraid that someday the fire alarm will ring for real, and I’ll just stay up in my class,” said Senior Anna Hershberger. The danger of pulling a fire alarm was best stated by Senior Jenny Martin, “It’s not very funny when there is an entire school building at stake, not to mention 2,000 human lives.” by Kelly Hunt. A lot of time and effort go into making a business a successful one. Senior Shane Wilson organizes some of pects of the business. When he had important school work to do or could not work at the shop, his mother helped out. “Even for no charge,” said Wilson. Wilson enjoyed owning his own hobby shop, not only in ! order to reap the profits, but he also saw it as a learning experience. “I think it helps me to learn how to deal with people. It also helps to increase my management skills, and it teaches me self-discipline,” said Wilson, by Kelly Hunt the merchandise he sells at his hobby shop named “All Aboard Hobbies” (Photo by J. Hand) 10 MINI MAG -j THE STUDENT SCENE K A LEARNING EXPERIENCE A popular way among students to make extra money was babysitting. Freshman Cyndi Rerun listens to a tape recorder with three year old Amanda Cooper while babysitting for her. (Photo by C. Hardy) “We’re all going to the movies tonight. Do you want to come?” “I’d love to, but I’m busy.” “Busy? On a Friday night? “I’m babysitting for some neighbors.” “On a weekend? You’ve got to be crazy.” Although some people felt it was crazy to babysit on a weekend, many did, and loved it. Generally anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 an hour was an average rate for a babysitter. The babysitter’s wages depended on the number of children, the ages of the children, and what other chores the parents wanted done. Just wanting to earn mon- ey wasn’t the sole reason for babysitting. Most agreed that they really needed to enjoy the children. “I like babysitting for this one lady, even though she doesn’t pay very much, just because I love her kids,” said sophomore Jeana Atwood. Many students found it difficult to babysit on week-nights, and so much of a teenager’s babysitting hours came during other free time. “I babysit mostly on the weekends, in the evenings, and in the summer during the day,” said sophomore Cindy Miller. Logically, the first time a student babysat for a certain family, he didn’t know quite what to expect. After that he was able to determine whether or not he or she cared to return. “The most important quality is how the kids act and how we get along. That determines whether I want to babysit for them again. A clean house is another important quality. If the house is a mess, it gives me the feeling that the parents just don’t care, which might reflect on the children,” said junior Lisa Stahl. Even though it meant giving up a little free time, babysitting was a way to earn some extra money, and it often ended up being a lot of fun. by Julie Bell FL YIN' HIGH At 8:00 a.m. on October 8, 34 students loaded onto a bus headed to Chanute Air Force Base. The students were off to a day of tours, explanations, and lectures. Students browsed through an aircraft hanger and model carrier, an extensive electrical lab, a specialized meteorology lab, and the student dorms. For many students the trip presented a taste of their future and helped to confirm their decisions to enlist. “I plan to go into the Air Force because it is a good career for me, and it has a strong educational background,” said Senior Frank Moore. Other students planned to enter under the ROTC program after four years of college. “1 want to enter as an officer, so I plan to go to college first,” said Senior Dawn Dolbee. This branch of the service offered the best education for a few students due to the use of the latest, most advanced technology. “The Air Force teaches technology better than a technological school,” said Senior Eric Bolser. The annual trip to Chanute gave students a look at the lifestyle, and the opportunities available to them by enlisting in the Air Force, by Michelle Mekel Students who were interested in going into the Air Force were given a chance to visit Chanute Air Force Base in the fall. Seniors Penny Sloger. Frankie Moore, and Dawn Dolbee talk with a Sgt. at the base about their future decisions. (Photo by J. Crygiel) A NIGHT OUT ON THE TOWN Can you move the plants inside? Add the white lights to the indoor trees. Set the platform for the queen’s court over there. Raise the streamers up a half inch. Who will volunteer to come tomorrow morning? ” With these phrases of supervision, the decorating of the David S. Palmer Civic Center was set in motion late Friday morning, although plans began as early as December 1985, to honor the departing Seniors with their last dance — the junior and Senior prom. A committee chaired by junior Gary Render organized the flowers, food, band, ice sculpture displays, and picture packets. After much deliberation, plans were finalized and Prom 1986 was well underway. “By having a lot of people working with me, 1 was able to delegate responsibility so that all of us were able to work together,” said junior Gary Render. To finance the big event, nearly $4000.00 was earned through car washes, dances, and candy sales. Raising that kind of money took a lot of effort on everyone’s part. Still, those on the prom committee found the work worthwhile. “I feel we had a good turn out at prom, for nearly 250 couples came. We succeeded in giving our special gift to the seniors,” said junior Zeina Baroudy. On May 24. 1986, the Danville Civic Center transformed from a hockey arena to a spacious, candle lit garden filled with flowers, pillars, balloons, and white lattice walkways. The couples ar- rived dressed in formal gowns and tuxedos, full of anticipation of the night ahead. A live band from Indianapolis, the Special Purpose, performed the latest hits while couples swayed to the music or mingled with friends. Glasses, inscribed with the Prom theme — “If Only For One Night,” memory key-chains, and picture memory booklets of each couple in attendance replaced the traditional prom souvenirs. The committee decided to host the prom at the David S. Palmer Civic Center due to the spaciousness which would accommodate more people. The junior and Senior prom was dedicated to the Seniors in hopes that each one would cherish the moment forever — “If Only For One Night.” by Linda Butler Members of the 1986 Prom court include Senior attendants: Heather Hill, Anne Berg.

That step started one out with a little hope and a little completeness “Graduation was like a landmark in my life. I’m glad to be gone from Danville High, but I’ll always cherish the memories. Graduation was a scary time for me, though I wasn’t sure if I was ready to go to college and get out into the world. I knew that I was losing the security that I had always fallen back on. The time has come for me to start a new beginning, so I’m just trying to keep the memories and strive toward higher goals,’’ said ’86 graduate Shelly Harrigan. Not all graduating students felt so optimistic toward graduation and what was to follow. “There are times when I wish I was a freshman again. Graduation was not a new beginning for me; it was the end of the best years of my life. I am trying to set some goals for myself, but I can’t help looking back and feeling a little remorse,” said graduate Bill Ady. Some had big dreams for themselves, and graduation marked the first step toward future success. “In my graduation speech I tried to emphasize the fact that high school years are going to be some of the best that we’ll ever have, but now it’s time to go from there. Graduation was just the beginning; now it’s up to us to start building our lives,” said graduate and former Senior Class President, Jimmy Bates. However, some students just wanted to graduate in order to get out of school. Graduation was a sigh of relief. “Graduation marked the end of a long journey for me, and now it’s like starting a new one,” said ’86 Co-Valedictorian Jackie Sollers. Graduation was a time for tears and for hopes and most of all, for saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new. But as Senior Jeanne Fire-baugh summed it up, “They may be gone, but their memory is here to stay.” by Nyckee Conner. Caps, gowns, and thongs? No. thongs were not a part of the required attire for graduation night, but Senior Curt Towne got a kick out of it. (Photo by L.

Summer vacation was not only a time to be away from school, but also a time to spend traveling. “I was very fortunate this summer. I spent one week in Rome and two weeks in California. I was so busy, I didn’t even miss school,” said junior Kyu Han. Summer was not all fun and games for everyone. Some students spent their summer working. ‘‘Most of my summer was spent delivering newspapers. It sure wasn’t the most fun summer I’ve ever had,” said Senior Jeff Cooper. Even if students didn’t go out of town or work, they always found something to do to occupy their time. ‘‘Summer would have been boring if it hadn’t been for my friends and my bike,” said sophomore Rich Williams. Some students didn’t even get away from school during summer vacation. ‘‘Sure school was out, but I was always here either for summer p.e. or for pompette practice,” said junior Jennifer Jones. Even if students didn’t do the same things over the summer, one thing was certain. It was well spent, by Shannan Allhands Enjoying a dip in Lake Michigan were sisters freshman Krissie Martin and Senior Jenny Martin.

These dances, sponsored by several area schools and the Danville Area Youth Center Association, attracted hundreds of students a night. Several students had many complimentary things to say about why they enjoyed going to the various dances. “I like being able to see friends I haven’t seen at school all week and I also like Loud music and flashing lights inspired Seniors Todd Alcorn and Lindsey Botkin and junior Lynnette Wilson to take a spin out on the dance floor. (Photo by K. Johnson) A popular place for area teens, including juniors Julie Rosdail and Sharilyn Ruffner, was teen dances sponsored by local businesses. (Photo by K. Johnson) meeting people from other schools,” said freshman Nicole Marana. One main goal of these dances was to draw students away from drinking parties. Another was to inform students that an alternative to drinking existed. ‘‘I think most of us are interested in having a good time without drinking. We realize that we shouldn’t cause any problems or there won’t be any more dances,” said junior Missy Pratt. Most students agreed that the dances presented a pleasant alternative to the streets. ‘‘The teen dances are a good idea because there is nothing for us to do. At least they keep us away from the mall,” said Senior Michelle Marana. The teen dances were a hit among most students. They provided entertainment and socialization for everyone as well as fun without the trouble drinking causes, by Ange-lia Matayo. Enjoying a night out with her friends was Senior Lisa Hilleary. (Photo by K. Johnson) 18 TEEN DANCES Teen dances, frequently sponsored by The Club Lamplighter, gave area teens a new activity to enjoy on the weekends. These dances were intended to help overcome the problem of teenage drinking. (Photo by K. Johnson) The Civic Center also sponsored teen dances which were attended by sophomores Steve Huff. Ron Shaffer, and Kristen Rudolph. (Photo by K. Johnson) An alternative of going out and drinking was attending a local teen dance. These dances grew in popularity over the summer and provided a new way to have fun. (Photo by K.

(Photo by | B. Wright) Students marveled at some of the conflicts their favorite soap opera stars were put in. Some agreed with them, but others didn’t. Whatever situation occurred, students were often found rooting for those two special people on their favorite soap opera. “My favorite couple on Days Of Our Lives is Patch and Kayla. They aren’t officially a couple yet, but I’m sure they will be soon. They’re so alike in their attitudes. They really deserve each other,” said junior Don Archer. Some students chose certain couples as their favorite even if they disliked some of their characteristics. “My favorite couple is Tad and Hillary on All My Children. Hillary is really nice, but Tad is such a jerk. I still think they’re cute. Whenever Tad does something wrong, he always begs,” said sophomore Michelle Lutrell. Fellow classmates pre- ferred other couples just because they weren’t hassled by the ordinary problems of soap operas. “I like Holly and Robert on General Hospital because everyone is not out to break them up,” said Senior Amy Kamplain. Whether or not students wanted to like these characters, many did and soon many more became addicted to soaps, by Kelly Miller Love, power, and greed are the ingredients that make up a good soap opera. Sophomore Bobbi Hall catches up on these juicy details in a soap magazine. (Photo by B. Wright) ADDICTIONS 21 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING Mom, can I have five dollars to go to the movies tonight?’ “You need more money? I just gave you ten dollars yesterday. Do you think money grows on trees?’ There were always more places to spend money than places to find it. Money was a constant problem for most students. “I spend most of my money at the mall. When I need a few dollars I beg my parents for it!” said junior Rhonda Hardy. Finding the right jewelry to go with their outfits takes quite a bit of shopping skill on the parts of Senior Lynda Bradley and junior Julie Autor. (Photo by M. Grygiel) Enjoying a snack from the Dairy Queen is Senior Kim Smith. Students spend a lot of money on food at various restaurants. (Photo by J. Grygiel) If students didn’t have a job they more than likely turned to their parents to supply some income. “My parents give me money to spend on my girlfriend and cars, said junior Kevin Brown. Jobs were an important part of many students lives. No matter how tedious the work, the money was well worth the effort. “I work as a waitress at Colonial Parkway to earn some extra money,’ said sophomore Amanda Pearson. Besides movies, restaurants, cars, and dates there were other spending priorities. “I spend a lot of money on travel. For small things I use the money I get from babysitting,” said Senior Loren Wulfsohn. No matter how students acquired their spending money they always complained that it was never enough. There were always more places to spend it than places to get it. by Susan Cunningham 22 SPENDING MONEY Petty cash seems to burn a hole in a teenager's pocket.

The final bell rang, and the students raged out of school. Soon all of the telephone lines were congested. The sun finally set, and the stunning purple sky served as a backdrop for those Friday night activities. The parties were on, the football game had already started, and the mall was overflowing. It was another weekend! The main stretch served as a release from obligation as many students with their shiny, clean cars headed out to the main drag. Back and forth, up and down Main Street, stopping occasionally to satisfy their munchies. “Nearly every weekend we cruise. Cruising Main is really fun, because I get to see my friends and relax,” said freshman Christie Colwell. Why sit at home on the weekend and watch television? Many dug into the very depths of their piggy banks and slowly but surely rounded up enough money to get out of the house and see a movie at that ever popular place, the Village Mall. “On weekends, I usually go to the mall to see a movie or two. Sometimes, I just go to the mall to get out of the house and to talk with people after a hectic week of school-work,” said junior Jim Chammings. Often the weekend was a time to get things done. All that wasn’t done the previous weekend, or the previous week, was saved for the upcoming weekend. The list of things grew and grew until every minute of the weekend was occupied. “Every once in a while, my weekends are totally filled up with so many things to do that I don’t have any time for myself. What a bore!” said Senior Scott Starkey. Having relatives that lived out of town was a sad situation. Never being able to see them made some feel as if they were growing farther and farther apart. Weekends proposed a solution to this problem. “Some weekends we travel to Gary, Indiana to see my aunt. I don’t get to see her very much, but when I do it is a happy occa-sion,” said freshman Tia Hoover. The last rays of light for that weekend slowly dispersed into a Sunday night sky. Soon the confusing and blending Monday light would push its way over the horizon bringing with it another week and another wish for the next weekend, by Tim Grider. One of the favorite pastimes of Seniors Mike Landskroner and Paul Watkins is fixing up their cars. Mike owns a 1969 Camaro. and Paul owns a 1931 Coupe. Both have shown their cars at such places as American Graffiti Night. (Photo by J.

Spirit week created lasting memories and friendships which would endure long after the cheers and laughter faded away. Students proved that the Viking spirit was alive by wearing Hawaiian clothes, hats and shades, college sweatshirts, togas, and maroon-n-white to school throughout the week. Lunchtime activities pitted class against class competing for the coveted spirit jug. During the spirit week festivities, students participated in banana eating contests, three-legged races, lifesaver passes, and the annual tug-of-war. The highlight of the week’s activities featured Mr. Tamimie and Coach Cunningham being creamed with a pie in the face thrown by representatives of the student body. “I haven’t had so much fun since tonsillitis,’’ said Mr. Tamimie. As usual, the Senior class tallied up the winning points for the victory. Although the Homecoming game was forfeited, due to the Mattoon teacher’s strike, students continued on with a Homecoming parade including class floats and the reigning queen, Carmen Cunningham, and her court. Although the week consisted of class competitions between Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, each class shared a common goal and soon the spirit rippled, effectively touching everyone. by Linda Butler m m HI « mmm N r m Partially dressed for hat and shades day is sophomore Mindy Foster.

The decorations were great! The music ranged from fast to slow. It was really fun,” said junior Mike Schoon. The theme for Homecoming was “Come to the Masquerade.” The gym was decorated with purple balloons, Dressed in a formal gown and a tuxedo. junior Dena Jumps and 1986 graduate Scott Smith enjoy a dance during the festivities at the 1986 Homecoming dance.

The DJ, Greg Reed was very good. He provided excellent music that we could really get into,” said sophomore Brian Smith. Many people agreed that the music really added to the wild atmosphere. The Homecoming Queen, Carmen Cun- ningham, and the attendants were very happy with the turnout and thought they were very privileged to be chosen. “I definitely think that becoming queen has been and probably will remain the highlight of my Senior year. I seriously doubt if anything else could take the place of being queen. It was an honor and a privilege for me and I will always cherish that moment, said 1986 Homecoming Queen Carmen Cunningham. by Tami Smith A look of joy covers Senior Carmen Cunningham's face after she is crowned Homecoming queen on October 24. 1986.

Movie rentals have been steadily increasing over the past few years and they are quickly becoming a popular form of entertainment. (Photo by J.

(Photo by J. Crygiel) 30 VCR'S THE TOYS OF A NEW GENERATION Many students had video cassette recorders. Some students used their VCR’s to record soap operas and other television shows while they were at school. “If I couldn’t record Santa Barbara, I’d be staying home from school to watch it,” said junior Krys Wilson. Even teachers taped their favorite shows when they’re not home. “I tape Family Ties and All My Children every day,” said Mr. Tamimie. Parents sometimes caused a conflict. Students often preferred to watch shows totally opposite of what their par- ents wanted to watch. Unfortunately parents usually won. “I would love to tape fun shows, but every night my parents use the VCR to tape boring shows like History of the Languages, ” said Senior Jan Rediehs. Other times, students used their recorders to watch movies rather than record anything. Renting movies was fairly popular. “Mostly I use my VCR to watch rented movies that I didn’t get to see at the theater,” said junior Doug Byerly. If ever someone was at a loss for ideas on what to do on a weekend, going to someone’s house to watch movies on a VCR was suggested. The video rental places rented every type of movie from Gone With the Wind to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Some video rental places offered free memberships, and prices for renting movies ranged from 1.00 to $3.00. Students and faculty used the video cassette recorders mostly for entertainment, and also for instruction. The VCR was a powerful status symbol, and it changed different aspects of the lives of many students and faculty, by Kelly Hunt The varieties of VCR’s and their functions are becoming endless. Freshman John Green looks at the different brands available at Target. (Photo by J. Grygiel) Besides renting movies, one can also buy movies at various video stores.

He has blond hair, eyes as blue as the ocean, and the cutest smile Different people dreamed up different ideas about their ideal date. Some students put a lot of emphasis on a person’s looks. Others thought that intelligence was important, and still others looked at a person’s athletic ability. Many students also looked for a great personality, a sense of humor, and a caring heart in their ideal date. “In an ideal date, I look for someone with a nice person- ality and who understands and accepts me the way I am and not for who they want me to be,” said sophomore Lisa Collom. Students were repeatedly heard saying that looks played a big part in their choice of an ideal date. Whether extremely handsome or not, students said that their ideal date was someone with whom they could feel comfortable. Students were also noted as saying that their ideal date had to be someone they could communicate with and be themselves with. “My ideal date has to have a personality with many good quality characteristics. She must be open minded, outgoing, fun loving, and ready to accept things that are hard to accept — like short guys,” said junior Andrew Kim. Once students decided what to look for in their ideal date then along came another problem. Where were you going to take that person when he or she was finally found? Some students preferred to go out on a picnic on a peaceful day to just relax. Others preferred to go all out and do the whole works. “First I would buy her a rose, and I would pick her up. Then I would take her out to eat at a nice restaurant. We would then go to a movie and afterwards go dancing. Finally we would end the evening with a stroll on a beach and watch the sunrise together,” said junior Don Archer. by Kelly Miller Gazing at a teen hunk in a magazine, sophomore Shelly Weir prefers this form of entertainment over Mr. Birky's corny jokes.

Hand) Talking and spending time together are what keeps a relationship going especially for freshmen John Mikels and Heather Carpenter. (Photo by J. Hand) IDEAL DATES 33 A CUT ABOVE THE REST Our hair plays a major role in the way we look, so everyone likes to make their hair look special. There were a variety of hairstyles ranging from very long to very short. In the old days everyone had a certain hairstyle, but now a days anything went. “I think the hairstyles now are really cool. I’ve had my hair in almost every style possible. After a while, I usually get sick of the way my hair looks, and I change it,” said junior Shana Booth. A different twist to hairstyles is having part of one’s hair shaved. Junior Dennis Pope shows his sense of style by having his hair shaved a little above his ears. (Photo by S. Darby) Sometimes the decision to change a hairstyle turned out to be a battle to the end. Other times, changing a hairstyle was as easy as 1, 2, 3. Students commented on various reasons for restyling their hair. Often a gradual change was what it took for that person to be happy with their hair. ‘‘Deciding to get my hair cut was a tough decision. I liked the length of my hair, but I didn’t want to make a wild change. I experimented little by little until I was satis- fied with my hair,” said Senior Buz Bireline. Danville had an abundance of hair salons which students went to. A couple of the most popular were Hairworks and Cannon Brothers. No matter where or how each student decided to style their hair, they made sure that they were happy with it and it looked just right. “I decided to get my hair done this way because it’s easy to fix and I really like it,” said sophomore Janet Thompson, by Kelly Miller Accessories such as bows and ribbons are a big hit with the females. When her hair is pulled back, junior Linda Fox-worth adds a ribbon for the final look. (Photo by J. Grygiel) Manageable and easy hairstyles are what everyone wants. This all one length hairstyle is what junior DeLynn Carter finds the easiest to take care of. (Photo by M.

(Photo by B.

The bell rang, and he looked around and noticed something strange. No, it couldn’t be! A girl in auto mechanics? More and more, generally stereotyped classes moved to co-ed ones. Two girls were enrolled in auto mechanics, one in welding, while in the home ec. department guys were as common as girls. Forty-one guys were in Foods 1-2, twenty in clothing and foods for singles, six in family living, eight in adult living, and four in child care. Why were they interested in these classes? Why would a girl want to learn about how a car runs, or a guy to cook? “Many want the knowledge for use on their own car, whether they are doing the repair work or a mechanic is. Some are genuinely interested in it as a career,” said Mr. Torasso, the auto mechanics instructor. One reason for a guy to take home ec. was simply to learn how to cook. “When I move out of my house, I want to know how to cook more than soup and popcorn,” said freshman Brian Partin. For the most part, students felt that they were treated equally in these classes. No one was favored because of his or her gender or given a particularly hard time. “I don’t think that I, or any of the other guys are treated differently than the girls. We are all treated the same,” said freshman Todd Cummings. So who knows maybe someday soon we will see more female auto mechanics teachers, and also more male home ec. teachers, by Julie Bell A key ingredient in Foods 1-2 is nutrition. Sophomores Ernie Andre and Jodi Shuman practice what they’ve learned in a foods lab where they make various kinds of foods from appetizers to desserts. (Photo by B.

The popular styles all varied from what one liked wearing to what one thought was a popular style. Some students felt that a certain style was in, but really what it all came down to was that the one style he or she thought was popular only reflected that person’s personality or mood. It also could have been a style they felt the most comfortable in. “I think that the Hawaiian clothes are popular right now because they are wild and original, but the style that I think is popular that I like wearing is dressy clothes or baggy clothes. I enjoy wearing both of those styles, but that doesn’t mean that everyone thinks of them as the popular style!” said Senior Heather Grisham. Companies such as Coca Cola came out with a new line of clothes that were popular with students including sophomore Lisa Collom. (Photo by B. Wright) Fashion was not only for girls these days, but guys also. They cared about what’s popular and what’s not, and they also cared about their appearance. ‘‘I don’t really think that there is any popular style for guys, because there are so many ways you can dress and still be in style. I personally like dressing up most of the time because I like looking nice in school, but sometimes it depends on the mood I’m in,” said Senior Scott Swanson. For girls and guys there was one item that was about the most popular, and that was accessories. Girls wore lots of accessories including belts, earrings, and pins. Jewelry was the accessory for guys; many were wearing more this year. ‘‘I think that accessories are the most popular fashion items because you can use them many ways to add to an outfit. The metallic colors are really in right now in accessories, but too much at one time wears down the sparkle it usually adds,” agreed Seniors Tricia Elliot and Amy Vandament. “Jewelry has become more popular with guys,” added Swanson. But where did these styles really come from? Were they new and just created recently? Many of the past styles affected what students wore. ‘‘Many of the styles we wear today come from the past, especially equestrian. I think that equestrian is kind of like looking like you just got done riding, and many of the clothes today look like that,” said Vandament. Fashion had many popular styles, but the one that was most popular for students was the one that they felt the best in. by Suzanna Serfoss 38 FASHION The biggest creize in accessories was bows shown here being worn by sophomore Erin Atchison.

I can’t get it to open on the first try.” This was a famous line among many students from all grades. Despite all the trouble and hassle that went along with a locker many students decorated their lockers to brighten them up. ‘‘I decorated my locker because it is boring. I hate it when I open my locker and it is so plain,” said sophomore Alice Smith. Students had different ways of decorating lockers. Some used signs or posters. Others used notepads or pictures. Color was important in decorating one’s locker. Most students who decorated their lockers used bright colors because the lockers themselves were boring enough. ‘‘I decorate my locker with signs and posters. It adds life and color. The lockers look so dull to begin with, but decorating livens them up,” said sophomore Kris Brown. Some people had a negative perspective though. They considered their locker as just another part of school. “I figure I want to be in school the least time possible, so I don’t decorate my locker because I don’t care what it looks like,” said junior John Bryant. A few students really took decorating their locker seriously. They thought it said something about their personality. ‘‘I decorate my locker because it shows my individuality and it is sort of my home away from home,” said Senior Mark Bryant. 36-18-45.

You’re a Senior.” These were the feelings of many of the students who were “lucky” enough to ride the bus. Referred to as the big, yellow thing in the minds of most, especially Seniors, the bus was almost thought of as a bad word. Strangely enough, however, a large number of Seniors did ride Going out to the bus stop to wait for the school bus is hard for everyone including Senior Mike Dobbles. Waiting with Dobbles is junior Brett Jones. (Photo by C. Hardy) the bus. “I’ve ridden ever since kindergarten. For a couple of years in grade school I didn’t, but throughout most of my years in school I have ridden the bus,” said Senior Jan Rediehs. Some rode everyday, others once or twice a week, others in the morning only, and still others only rode in the afternoon. The combinations were endless. “I only ride for one reason which is to get to school. I have a car but sometimes my parents need it, so I get stuck riding the bus,” said Senior Chris Candido. No one rode the bus if they could possibly help it. Many complained about how crowded the bus always was. Another disadvantage was the extra time it took to get home in the afternoon. “About the only thing I like about riding the bus is that I can meet and talk with friends,” said Senior Darin Cauley. Although it was hard to find many people who had pleasant things to say about bus riding experiences, almost everyone was inwardly grateful for the transportation to and from school. Just think; everyone could have walked through a foot of snow, by Julie Bell 42 RIDING THE BUS When Senior Ken Dyer has to ride the bus. he often picks a seat near the back so he will be less conspicuous.

Nor would an athlete perform his best out on the floor without the support of those dazzling fans. “Hearing the fans makes me want to perform at my best and I feel that the whole crowd is behind me 100%,” said Senior Darren Parker. A certain attraction seemed to draw many students to the games. School spirit, enthusiasm, and excitement captured the fans’ eyes. DHS students eagerly watch the varsity basketball game in hopes that they will see their team win. (Photo by S. Williams) They were the ones that gave the surroundings that athletic atmosphere. “I feel like I am contributing to the team’s effort to win,” said freshman Doug Matayo. Just like people coming to watch, athletes felt the same way. The tremendous roar of the crowd gave them the support that they needed. The cheers and attitudes of the crowd had an effect on the athlete. Some of the student body was dedicated not only to high school sports, but also other athletic sports. For instance, some attended college football games and basketball games or national league baseball games. “I feel as though I am giving the team individual moral support because when I participate I like for people to cheer me on,” said sophomore Dana Faulk. Sporting events gave entertainment to people.

Dances, movies, and trips to Pizza Inn. The biggest problem was money, or lack there of. Dating had become quite expensive. Two tickets to the 9:00 p.m. show cost $7.50, and the refreshments were outrageous. “Sometimes we don’t spend money at all. We just go to one of our homes and watch t.v.,” said junior Tracy Billman. Tradition always told the guy to pay for the date. However, most girls found that it was okay to treat their boyfriends occasionally. “Either of us pays. It just depends on who asks who out,” said Billman. That settled that problem, but now on to the next one. Where did they go on the date? “It always seemed like we ended up at the mall. Sometimes we would just cruise up and down Main Street,” said sophomore Amanda Pearson. That was just fine if gas was cheap, but when gas prices were high, even cruising could be costly. When students were in great desperation, they admitted to pulling out mom’s credit cards. “Sometimes if I don’t have the money, it might affect where we go especially if I leave my credit cards at home,” said junior Tim Grider. Maybe that’s why they say don’t leave home without them, by Susan Cunningham With rising gas prices, driving around can be expensive.

Braces have been a part of our lives for many years. When those silver “tracks” are finally off, after a period of time, they leave a new pair of beautiful teeth. This road to beautiful teeth was very rocky though. “When you are wearing your braces, they affect your speech. I felt like all I did was stutter all of the time,” said junior Terry Barber. Braces could also affect the best part of our lives. Eating! “I couldn’t eat for three days after my braces were tightened. It hurt so bad. I’m finally glad to get rid of them,” said junior Erin Ady. Another bad thing about braces was the names that people called them, such as “railroad tracks.” “Not too many people call me names except for my clos- est friends. They’re only kidding though,” said freshman Aaron Campbell. There were good things about braces also. One could feel better about oneself with a prettier smile and one could show off those spectacular straight teeth. “Sure braces were a pain and they hurt a lot, but when I finally got them off I felt so much better about myself. It was great!” said sophomore Bobbi Hall, by Tami Smith Even though freshman Matt Runyan may not think so now, having braces will pay off in the end. (Photo by M.

What do ya ’ mean; that stuff isn’t for jocks. Well, do you think the football team got to be Big 12 East Co-Champions by eating potato chips. Come on. That’s different. It’s calisthenics. They’re still getting their bodies in shape. Take Dolly Rajamannar and Michelle Cook. They went to state in doubles tennis. Now, I know they were in shape. And the cross country team runs 8 miles a day. 1 bet they’re in shape. Now you’ve got the idea. If athletes are in shape, then they can ‘Take i The Gold ! 50 SPORTS DIVIDER TAKE TWO OH! THAT VIKING SPIRIT Senior Tammy Chenoweth Becomes Mascot School spirit: a fever, often contagious, which in severe cases, caused individuals to climb on others to make pyramids, to paint their faces colors, and to chant wildly in public places. School spirit: some people have it, and some never will. One person “had it” in her system, and her case of school spirit motivated her to becoming the first female Spirit Viking since 1969. Senior Tammy Chenoweth tried out for Spirit Viking of her own will, but her friends influenced her in the last few days before her actual tryout. “I was getting those second thoughts a few days before, but everyone thought I had a chance. Besides, I really wanted to try,” said Chenoweth. Being the first female in 17 years, Chenoweth faced questions about whether or not this factor helped or hindered her chances. “I really don’t think that’s such a big deal here anymore. I mean, if I hadn’t been the best one who tried for it, then I wouldn’t have gotten it. Besides, I don’t think people should worry about that that,” she said. As Spirit Viking, Chenoweth was responsible for going to all games and doing her best to arouse support for the team. This was not always an easy task which led to frustration at times. “There are times when I can’t do anything right to get the crowd with me. The first football game for me, the crowd just sat there looking at me. Then I realized some people can’t get into it, so you just stick with the kids who want to be supportive,” said Chenoweth. And just how crucial was this support to a team? “I’ve been in meets when support made the difference. I think support gives the players a real reason to play, one that makes them pick themselves up off the ground with a little pride,” she said. School spirit: some people have it; some never will, by Michelle Briggs Making her debut as Spirit Viking, Senior Tammy Chenoweth waves her sword in a game against Lincoln. (Photo by B.

Homework? If it was night, darkness ruled that idea out, not to mention that trying to write on a moving bus often left homework looking like an ancient code. “We usually listened to some music on the way home, especially if we were too tired to do any work,” said junior Kevin Brown. Another football varsity player, Tom DeFratt kept his music to himself. “I never do homework on the bus; it’s too dark and bumpy. I just lay back and listen to my Walkman.” Other athletes spent time on the bus thinking about the game and its outcome. “I like to think positively about the game if we won, but if we lost, I get down on myself and try to figure out ways to play better next time,” said Senior Jason Baker, by Karen Monroe On the way home from an away soccer meet.

Perry) UP and AWAY JUNIOR MELISSA STONE OUTLEAPED THE COMPETITION True dedication as an athlete led junior Melissa Stone to the top and literally beyond the competition. Stone traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska and participated in the Junior National Olympics. Among athletes from all parts of the United States, Stone won the long jump event with a jump of 18 feet 6 inches. Stone participated in track, basketball, and volleyball during the school year, so she did not have to train really hard for the trip. “I didn’t do any hard training simply because I was in training for summer softball. I did about eight 50-yard dashes and a light mile a day,” said Stone. From July 13-16, Stone still did not believe she would actually win, even though she was confident she could do well. As with any national meet, the competition was intense at the meet which brought talented athletes from many states. “My feeling towards winning was low. I was first on the list (to jump), so I didn’t really know what the other competitors were capable of doing,” she explained. Nevertheless, Stone walked away with first place in the nation, securing a medal and a stable future. “This performance in Nebraska will affect my future a great deal. I plan to attend college, and since I’m doing well at the time, colleges will offer scholarships that will help me further my education along with track,” said Stone. Education ranked high on Melissa’s priorities. Being an athlete and a student forced her to juggle time. “Being an athlete and a student isn’t very easy, but I handle it in a positive way,” said Stone. The whole experience gave her other rewards outside of a title, a medal, and a scholarship hope. “The experience has taught me to never give up and aim high, for the best. Never say you can’t because you can.” Proving her own motto to be true. Stone believed she could, and so she did. by Myra Nolan _______________________J MINI MAG 53 During baseball practice.

Bob Kay, second year coach, led his team to a winning season by setting high standards and concentrating on the team’s strong points. “One of the team’s main strengths was our hitting. We could always score hits when we needed them,’’ said Senior Andy Small. The team proved this skill by consistently making comebacks even in the final moments of a game. The team was down to Centennial in their third game of the sea- son, and with just half an inning left they scored thirteen runs to come from behind and win, 24-15. “Besides being a good hitting team, we worked together and would never give up.’’ said Senior Darin Jarling. The team began the season with two big wins over St. Joe-Ogden (15-5, 19-1). Their success continued and after ten games, they held a 9-1 record. Later in the season, losses became more frequent, but their hitting ability led the team to Regionals, where they fell to Normal in the second game. “We did have two problems — one was when Chees-man broke his foot sliding into base, and the other was when Kittell got the chicken pox right before playoffs. Brian missed twelve games, and Chris was unable to finish the season,’’ said Jarling. The team was pleased with their season, not because they simply won games, but because they met their goals. “We met our goal of winning twenty games in the first game of Regionals at our last time at bat. That says a lot about our hitting under pressure,” said Kay. Senior Dennis Westfall summed up his feelings. “This year we were good, but wait til next year — it’s going to be our year!!” by Jeannie Bieritz Pitching in a game against Paris, junior Darin Jarling concentrates on his top form.

There was the wind up and when the ball was released the runner was off. The batter swung and missed. The catcher fired down to second. The throw was a split second late, and the runner was safe. Situations like that occurred often during the girl’s softball season. The Vikings final record was ten loses and six wins. The season started out well with wins against Central and Georgetown. Champaign Centennial slid by with a win by one. The Lady Vikings then won the next two. After a streak of five loses, the team came back with a victory over Westville. Mattoon romped over the ladies while Catlin was smothered. Charleston overcame the Vikings twice followed by a loss to St. Joe Ogden.

An average season for us is an above average season for other schools,” said Coach Eakle. This attitude led to many grueling practices. All began at 3:00 p.m. with a team meeting in which the athletes worked on their mental game. Next came twenty minutes of calisthenics and stretching to limber up tight muscles. Distance runners were then off to both long runs and short sprints. Weight lifters practiced for discus competition. Sprinters, too, were kept busy with ba- ton exercises. ‘‘Our team was so competitive because of the quality of the team members and, of course, our good attitudes. These things built sportsmanship and caused other teams to respect us,” said junior Terry Thomas. Quality and esteem motivated the team to a successful season. They placed high in the Big 12 Conference, but only a few members ranked in the State. ‘‘Although track is more of an individual sport, no member is of greater importance than the team as a whole,” said Eakle. Again, this ideal was the principle behind the unity which kept the team ‘‘on the right foot” and at the top for so long it has become tradition. by Michele Mekel In a race to the finish line, runners in the State meet find that last ounce of energy.

Although most members were pleased with the season, some agreed that it could have been stronger without weaknesses such as injuries and ineligibility. “A typical practice for the team includes laps, warm-up exercises, and calisthenics. Each girl knows what to do when she gets to practice,” said Coach Lewis. Despite all of the practice some girls still felt butterflies before an event. ‘‘Right before a meet, I was always a little nervous, especially before an invitational or conference, but my teammates show support. I get over it.” said freshman Diana Schult. Coach Lewis explained how he felt before a meet. ‘‘Confident, the girls may win every event. You must enter every athletic contest with the desire to win. That’s the purpose of the game. Defeats are lessons; victory is fame,” Lewis explained. Many factors contributed to this competitive team. A winning attitude stood at the top of the list. ‘‘We work as a team, staying together, win or lose. We’re positive, eager to compete, and ready to win,” said junior Toni Hernandez. Coach Lewis saw the season as a success despite having a small squad of girls. The members he did have were young, providing high expectations for them as well as for the team as a whole.

When we got out on the court, we were out there to win,” said Junior Dan Pierce. The team started off the season against Rantoul, winning 5-1. For the tennis team, winning that first game meant gaining confidence for the season ahead. “We had a lot of returning players, but it wasn’t until we won that first real meet that we got that winning confidence,” said Pierce. Following that start, the team responded with eight consecutive wins. During this run, they participated in the Bloomington Invitational, placing 4th with a total of 13 points. “Tournaments seem to create more pressure. I think part of that comes from competition and representing your school,” said sophomore John Howrey. Coaching was another facet which affected a team’s performance. “Coach Fogleman was always strict in practice, but we all knew he only wanted us to win and be the best team we could be.” said freshman Robert Liem. Being the “best team” meant sacrifice. Some team members worked on this part of tennis, and in time, found it to be as rewarding to win as a team, as it was to win individually. “Even though you play singles. there is a sense of teamwork. Sometimes you play hard when you're tired because you just don’t want to be the one to let down the team,” said sophomore Doug Goff. Playing tennis was not all work and no play; however, many team members found reasons to play on the team outside of winning. “The tennis team was a blast! I hope we have as much fun this new season as we did last season!” said sophomore Chad Martin. “This new season” would not be the same, as Coach Fogleman took a new coaching position in Florida. He left behind a winning team and a team he could recall with pride, by Michelle Miller Senior Ron Wingo stretches to place a shot against his opponent during practice at the tennis club.

The girl’s tennis team had an “ace” season, winning all but one dual meet with a team of young players and a first-year coach. “We really had a great season. A lot of people thought we would be weak with the loss of so many players from last year. We proved we were better than that,” said Senior Alison Steht. For first-year coach Candy Boehm, the season dispelled any doubts about her ability to take over a program so long headed by former tea-cher coach Dotsy Fogleman. “Danville tennis has built an excellent reputation, and I wanted very badly to continue the success with my own methods. The girls were the biggest part of their own winning. I mean, they knew what had to be done, and they knew how to get there,” said Coach Boehm. With a season of wins, pinpointing a highlight was difficult. However, some knew exactly what the team and its season had done for them. “I enjoyed being on the team because of the friendships and then the great feeling everyone shares in winning. If we weren’t playing. we were cheering for one another,” said Senior Jodi Butler. Advancing to State, freshmen Michelle Cook and Dolly Rajamannar showed great promise in doubles. One told of her hopes for this team. “This season was great. But I am already looking to next season, and hoping we will excel,” said Rajamannar. by Danele Burke Improving on her game, sophomore Michelle Luttrell spends a Saturday at the Danville Tennis Club.

For the football team, there was no other way to describe them. “Setting goals and reaching them is the challenge of life. This ’86 football team was a terrific achiever. They repeated as champions of the Big 12 East and reached the playoffs for the second year,” said Head Coach Nate Cunningham. And while goals may be the challenge of life, most players had their own goals from game to game — the goal of getting to the touchdown zone, improving with each game and each play of the ball. “You have to try and improve with every play because the other guy, the other team is trying to catch you off guard. That’s when you make stupid mistakes, and it can happen to anybody. Then you need teammates to keep you up,” said Senior Montez Lucas. The team began defending its title against Stephen Decatur with a most convincing win of 40-19. For the team, it convinced them they were headed for the crown, and for their opposition — it said “Look Out!!” The next game was to be against Central, but because of the teacher’s strike, the Champaign school was forced to forfeit. Danville was now 2-0. “Right away we were thinking a 10-0 season. There’s something about being able to say, ‘We were undefeated,’ and it’s a perfect record to show off,” said Senior Stacey Robinson. Two games later, following wins against Lincoln and Centennial, the team experienced their first loss. It came against Urbana 12-18, and for the team it also came all too hard. “Of course we were disappointed, maybe mad. It wasn’t like they were just too good for us; we could have had Urbana,” said junior Eric Collier. The team did not recover as soon as they needed to, as they lost the next game against Normal 12-43. “At that time, we had been beaten so badly, and we really wanted to get back to playing ball like we knew we could,” said junior Paul Ziemnisky. The following game was close, but the team pulled through with a 19-14 win over the Rantoul Eagles. Next came the Homecoming game against Mattoon. Unfortunately, Mattoon was on strike and did not come to an agreement in time. Against Eisenhower, the team displayed scoring power with a 44-6 win. Just one game away from the playoffs, the win was an added boost. The next step was the actual playoff game. For many hopeful teams, the playoffs (cont. on the next page) V.F.B.: Front Row: B.

We lost to Normal in the regular season, so we wanted them bad,” said sophomore Jason Cunningham. Danville lost that playoff game against Normal, with whom they shared the Big 12 Title. The score of that game was 8-21, and the record of the season was 7-3. The junior varsity also had a positive season. They were scheduled for two games, but their game against Champaign Central was cancelled. Because of this, the team played just one game against Champaign Centennial winning 26-0. JV Coach Dierking could not have asked for a more convincing win. The sophomore football team played a full season, starting with a 36-7 win over Bloomington and a 48-0 win over Fountain Central. After these victories, the young team felt its first defeat. The team faced Central and came up short 0-24. Following this loss, the team played another tough game, tying with Urbana 14-14.

However, for some kids who were members of the Cross Country team, this order meant run ten miles. The small size of the team meant that the individual athlete had to carry more. However, this did not hamper the team’s ability to perform. Captain and Senior Mike Butler told what made a good long distance runner. “Probably determination and the ability to keep running to the finish line even when it is not in sight.” Not every runner had such determination in the beginning. However, Coach John Eakle helped the athletes build miles and stamina. “Everyone learns to run farther at a pace. As soon as so many miles became attainable, we’d move on,’’ said junior Doug Byerly. Because of the small teams’ competitiveness, the members often encouraged one another during an event. “It doesn’t do us any good to have one strong finisher. We need everyone to make it. When the team does win, it’s great,” said Senior Jonathon Graves. A practice included warmups, a talk with the coach, and the order to head out. The runners could be seen on Jackson and Fairchild Streets. “Sometimes we’d run to the Lakeview Health and Fitness Center on Liberty. We’d run around different blocks, said Senior Brian Elliott The team’s work paid off as they were 2nd in the Big 12 Conference, 2nd in the Regionals and 6th at Sectionals. These finishes came after several well run Invitationals. Senior Chris Hanson best summarized this season. “It was a year of very hard work and a lot of struggle.

Soccer: A second year sport at Danville coached by Mr. Dave Redenbaugh. As a new sport, the soccer team dealt with its novelty as both an advantage and a disadvantage. “Last year we made a name for ourselves because we beat older, better teams. With experience, we could be one of the best,” said Senior Dan Pierce. When the youth of the team became a disadvantage, the team learned how to deal with defeat, and more importantly, how to restore a winning attitude. “By the next game, the last game was forgotten. The team hopefully anticipated the next game,” said sophomore Brian Smith. For other team members, the losses served as reminders of future victories, and better performances. “Losses for our soccer team weren’t as discouraging because we are a young team competing against juniors and Seniors,’’ said freshman Aar- on Campbell. With the newness of the team and youth of its players, the team did possess characteristics which undoubtedly proved beneficial. “Teamwork was a very important aspect of our season. Without it, winning would have become obsolete,’’ said junior Mike Schoon. Perhaps a better view of the season came from first year Coach Redenbaugh who reflected on the team. “The goals for this season were, to improve as a team and to learn strategies. We were striving for a winning season. We accomplished Soccer: Front Row: Jud Sims, David Sloop, Matt Brandy, Billi Jo Hutches, Doug Matayo, Greg Snider, Rob Ginder, Chris Griffin, Chris Thoma, Geoff Meeker. Second Row: Aaron Campbell.

As the season closed, Coach Redenbaugh was already setting next year’s goals for his athletes. “The outlook is great! Mr. Ken Meeker is running a spring session, and with a team of 15 freshmen, 5 sophomores, and 5 juniors returning, the team will be strong,” said Redenbaugh.

This cheer started the girl’s volleyball team with a positive note before each match. Just a few words described the premise of the game: Bump, Set, Spike, and hopefully, win. Unfortunately, the team got off to a slow start, losing its first nine games in several close matches. “Losing was always hard. Sometimes the match would go three games and be close up to the end — that’s a big letdown for the team,” said Senior Cristi Creek. Another difficult part of losing was knowing that the team had the ability to win. “Those first nine games were frustrating because the girls should have won more. They had some difficulty performing on the court that kept them from showing other teams their ability,” said Coach Mary Bunyard. The team’s first win came against their cross-town rivals, Schlarman. “I told everyone I knew to come to the Schlarman game, and a lot did. Even though they (the crowd) got loud at times, we appreciated the support,” said sophomore Angie Crabbe. Support for the team was beneficial as the team won three out of its next four games. “Once we knew how it felt to play like we could and win, we wanted to win more and more. I wish we’d have felt that way sooner,” said Senior Diane Hale. One disadvantage the team had was its inexperience compared to other teams in the Big 12 Conference. Since most teams have volleyball feeder programs from middle schools, Danville was faced with teams whose freshmen could have been playing for three years previous to high school. “Our newcomers get up to high school never really knowing exactly what volleyball really is; I think it’s not fair that we are set back like that,” said sophomore Julie White. Despite these factors, the team managed to come through at the end of the season, proving the old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again”, to be well worth the effort, by Michelle Briggs Watching the ball in this match against Centennial, the varsity team gets ready.

The fun made us better teammates, and the work made us region- al champs,” said junior Bill Graham, regional first place winner. The golf team had a very busy schedule this year, and some golfers felt the strain. “Golf season makes time important because you have to learn to use it wisely,” said Senior Buz Bireline. Most team members were happy with the season with a 5th place finish in the Big 12, the regional title, and, of course, a decisive victory over Schlarman (157-186). “We had a good season. At times we lacked depth, but we have a great deal of potential. If the team works hard in the summer, we should have another good year,” said Coach Birky. After the regional, the team hoped for further advancement, but the season ended with a 9th place finish in the Sectional.

However, due to small team size and a youthful group, the team was forced to accept many defeats. “We have a small team, so when it comes to having people for every event, we sometimes come up short,’’ said junior Jamie Meharry. The team practiced at the YMCA after school where they met Coach Karen Selvin. “After school we didn’t always feel like practicing hard, but we did want to get bet- ter,” said junior Debbie Habben. Second-year coach Selvin enjoyed the team, and although the team’s record was not perfect, Selvin was happy with the girls’ progress. “The team is made up of some really good kids that have a lot of potential,”said Selvin. Of the attitude among the teammates, some felt losing made them stick together. ‘‘I stay on the team for my own reasons, like the teamwork, and not just to win. Winning itself doesn’t make a team,” said junior Laurie Miller. Whatever the reasons, the team looked forward to next season and the sound of the gun. by Michelle Miller Girls Swimming Bloomington 42-121 Central Forfeit Normal 66-105 Central 63-99 Centennial 48-114 Urbana 41-40 Uni High 76-89 Centennial 62-107 Urbana 46-83 Springfield 49-141 Charleston Forfeit Conference 7th Sectionals 8th V ______I Coming up for a quick breath of air.

After five meets and five losses the team had decided, that the season would only be a time of improvements for individuals. Setting goals like cutting times and perfecting strokes was the main objective for the boy’s swimming team, and it was a success. According to coach Doug Mathias, the team made progress. “The emphasis this year was on the goals of each of the swimmers. Since we just don’t have enough swimmers to compete with the other teams, the talent we do have is being improved, but the progress isn’t seen like it would be if it were done as a team,’’ he explained. The season started off against Urbana. The Vikings came out with a loss of 24-58. Following that defeat came a dominating Bloomington team who overcame Danville with a 104-44 victory. The season went on without any brightening wins, but with a loss to Champaign Central 57-102 and to Champaign Centenial 24-67. Meeting up against Urbana, the Vikings were a better match but still were defeated 49-31. “I think this year has been successful, and we are still trying to cut our times from last year. The conference meet is coming up, and I’m working toward placing in the top 10,” said Senior Chris Hanson. “The season was fun even though we didn’t win. We lost because we have only about nine members on the team and that’s just not enough,” said junior Bill McNamara. Why did the team consist BOYS SWIMMING: Front row: Manager Laura Fellers, Chris Bireline, Mike LeDour, Bill Fares. Mike Maged, James Miller, Calvin Adams.

The problem that the DHS swim team faced that no other sports had to deal with was competition. Not against other schools, but against private swim teams. “There are at least as many students swimming for Nelson’s as there are on our team, and they are excellent. Our team is good, but we just don’t have the size we need,” said sophomore Chris Bireline. Mathias felt DHS had a bright future for the swim team next year. “With a few freshmen coming up and most of the team returning, it should be a good year. This season has improved all of the swimmers, and they met their goals for themselves, so it turned out to be a successful year overall,” summed up Coach Mathias, by Danele Burke 1 1 BOYS SWIMMING Urbana 24-58 Bloomington 44-104 Central 57-102 Urbana 31-49 Centennial 27-54 Centennial 62-102 Central 48-114 Big 12 Conference 6th Sectional 7th J BOYS SWIMMING 81 IN THE HOOP anville could be the dark horse in the Big 12 title race” reported Sportswriter Ted Krone of the Champaign News-Gazette. The team did fare well as Krone had predicted. Mr. Menkhaus, the Lady Viking’s coach, also looked forward to a good season. Seven of the players had previously started several games. ‘‘The experienced team of seven dwindled to four. One was ineligible, one a defector, and one had knee surgery,” said Coach Menkhaus. The knee injury of Malaika Williams was the only injury this year, but the whole team worked hard to readjust. During the Peoria Manuel Christmas Tournament sophomore Tricia Saveley and freshman Nicole Marana, J.V. players, stepped up into varsity competition. They joined Senior Carmen Cunningham, and juniors Chanee King and Melissa Stone. By midseason, these five had reached a .500 record (8-8). Almost the whole team agreed that the high point of the season was their 25-point win over Cenntenial. “As we progressed through the season, we gradually all learned each other’s strongest and weakest points, and worked with these,” said sophomore Angi Crabbe. The team was looking forward to an excellent year next season. ‘‘Although we’ll be losing a very valuable player in Carmen Cunningham, all of the rest of us will be back, and it should be our year to win it all,” said sophomore Malaika Williams, by Julie Bell GIRLS BASKETBALL: Front Row.

For the most part, we were pretty consistent in our play,” said varsity coach Gene Gourley. DHS suffered its first loss in the fifth game against Nor- After making the rebound.

The score (45-56) was evidence that the team had fallen to its main weakness: size. “Our main weakness is size. We’re smaller than most teams in the Big 12 Conference, and this hurts us in rebounding,” said Gourley. As the season continued, the Vikings played consistently, losing only two more games. They managed to reach their highest goals which were winning most of their games and finishing high in the conference.

In his first year as head coach, Mr. Dowers brought with him a new approach to wrestling — weight lifting. This helped to build the wrestler’s strength. Wrestling was by far one of the most physically demand- ing sports. It required both agility and strength. ‘‘Wrestling is an all-around sport, and the reason that I like it is because it is the toughest sport I’ve ever tried,” said Senior Joel McMillan. ‘‘Wrestling is a physically demanding sport and other people don’t realize how hard we practice,” commented junior Kevin Brown. Another aspect of wrestling was its individuality. Therefore, personal victories were just as satisfying. ‘‘This is an individual sport, and this sport is about getting in shape. Coach Dowers has helped me to improve,” said Senior Jim Gee. Because of the team’s abilities, they started off the year well with victories over both Central and Westville 39-30, 45-24 respectively. However, the Viking wrestlers then encountered several tough opponents. They lost their next eight meets.

It was never intended to represent advanced principles, but simply to render a service that was not otherwise available,’’ said Mr. Crawford. Many students felt that the Newsletter was a good idea to branch off of a journalism class. It gave them a chance to express themselves in a unique way. “The work we do in class that goes into the Newsletter, really gives us a lot of recognition for our work,” said Senior Chris Hanson. Most students felt this experience would help them further their ideas if they planned on being a journalist. “If you plan on being a reporter, Journalism is very helpful,” explained junior Keith Souza. Yet other students took this class simply for the material covered. “I like to write; I was very interested in the class and working on the newsletter,” claimed junior Angela Smith. The Newsletter was just one more way students could express themselves, by Ange-la Matayo. This year the members of the Band of Vikings were honored by getting to perform in the Fiesta Bowl Parade. It was the second nationally televised bowl game parade in two years that the group has marched in. In a series of three flights, students and the parents who chaperoned were flown from O’Hare to Phoenix, Arizona on December 27 and 28, 1986. The trip lasted one week. ‘‘Flying out there was great! We were able to get there much faster,” said Senior Scott Swanson. Everyone who went enjoyed themselves and always found something to do amidst the lively activity of Phoenix. “It was nice because there was so much to do while staying there,” said junior Amy Palmer. Students also found the weather enjoyable while they were there. “I really like the weather. It’s always warm and sunny. However, it gets kind of chilly at night,” commented sophomore Grant Reed. The band visited the Grand Canyon and went to a New Year’s Eve dance which all of the bands that performed in the parade attended. However, some students were disappointed when they were unable to stay for the game. “I had a lot of fun on the trip, but I wish we could’ve stayed for the game. It would have been an added touch to the week to have seen the National Championship,” explained sophomore Tammy Garwood.

It was a club where members learned more and at the same time had fun. It consisted of fifteen indispensable members. Seven meets were scheduled. The main challenge the team, as a whole, faced was due to the lack of experience. Most members especially JV, needed more experience. “However, we have an excellent group who are very dedicated members of the team,” concluded Mrs. Lewis. the sponsor. Was a home or away meet more enjoyable and beneficial? Each member had a different opinion. “Definitely away — I like to make the home team feel less secure by intimidating them in a number of ways,” claimed Senior Pat Nagle. On the other hand, home meets were preferable to a J- the Move V member like sophomore Debbie Garver. “I like home meets better because I’m more comfortable in familiar surrounding,” said Garver. Academic Bowl was a special club. All members claimed that it was enjoyable. “The reason I joined was to compete with others and share knowledge with my friends as a team,” said sophomore Dean Cauley. Competing, learning, putting those small bits of ‘useless’ information to use were the rewards for joining and enjoying the Academic Bowl. by Michele Mekel “Wash Away Mat toon!

The major source of school spirit during football season was cancelled. However, Homecoming still included the floats, the Queen and her court, and the traditional dance. How did a school solve such an unhappy dilemma? Making the best out of a bad situation was not a pleasant task. “If anything could go wrong this year for Homecoming, it did. We had many problems finding a location, and then due to the strike we had to cancel our game.

Everything started at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 24. “I think it was a good idea to make the half-time activities into a show. It gives the community an opportunity to see the floats and the homecoming court. Even though the game was cancelled, the students had a fun time!” claimed sophomore Tammy Garwood.

Whether it was classmates, games, or special dances, there were many memories in a yearbook. Every school day the Medley staff started the morning with announcements and assignments to the volunteer staff writers. Each writer had an obligation to prepare his story by getting information and quotes from the people involved. Writing, rewriting, and getting the story back to the editor by the given deadline was the goal. Not only was it a lot of hard work, but one needed to be dedicated, creative, and most importantly interested in what he was doing. Just like any other extracurricular activity, it took a lot of time, patience, and determination to get the yearbook “I joined Medley because I enjoy writing and taking pictures. And it was an opportunity to meet new people.” — Sophomore Brigid Nagle THIS CLUB’S FOR YOU done correctly and on time. Although a lot of time and hard work was put into the yearbook, it was also a time to meet people, to get involved, and to learn more about the school’s activities. • ”1 mainly like to be in Medley because my friends are in there, and I get to write like I don’t get to write in my other classes,” said Senior Kelly Hunt. Others just liked to know the feeling of satisfaction from their finished work. ‘‘I really enjoy working in Medley, and I like to think I’ve helped in some way to make the yearbook successful,” stated junior Angelia Matayo. Working on the yearbook was also an excellent way to sharpen skills and to learn better procedures in order to help anyone in their future career as a writer or in any kind of journalism field. Four members of the yearbook staff planned to go into journalism or a photography as their future career. ‘‘I enjoy writing and I want to learn the format of creating layouts for later use in life,” said sophomore Tricia Busby. Working together was necessary for the yearbook staff to reach their high goals. And, an All-American rating two years in a row proved it. bp Gretta Burton “Here, this is what I think. ” says Senior Jenni Williams as she explains her opinions to Senior Cindy Hardy. (Photo by J.

Where’s that school spirit?” “O.K., let’s hear it for school spirit!” “ H-UR-R-A-H!!!” Just who was responsible for promoting our school pride into our heart and soul? Student Council was. With 42 members and a great attitude throughout the year, there was no wonder that whatever this ‘‘spontaneous group” did it was fantastic. “I knew there would be a lot involved in being a Student Council adviser, but since I’ve met with the students and have seen their enthusiasm, I feel that we will have a great year and that my work won’t be as hard as I anticipated,” said Mr. Ferrell first time as the adviser. Some of the council members agreed that it would be hard work, but fun! “Student Council is an important position; it is fun.

Such activities were Spirit Week, Homecoming, or roses on Valentine Day. However, it was more than just those things. Student Council President Gary Render said, “Our main responsibility is to be a key representative of all students and to promote a good working relationship with students, teachers, and also the administration.” It was a fact that behind every good school was school spirit. Student Council encouraged the pride of the school, and along with that was the pride the members have for their organization. “I like Student Council because I’ve gotten to meet a lot of people and it makes me enjoy school more because I get involved in my class,” said sophomore Tammy Garwood. Involvement, responsibility, fun, communication, school spirit, that was mainly what Student Council was. Senior President Amy Serfoss said, “The more school spirit the better!” School spirit couldn’t be put any simpler.

Lots of hard work and time consuming practice went into the much enjoyed halftime entertainment. “After we finish our routine, the crowd claps and cheers for us; it really makes all the hours of practice seem worthwhile,” stated junior Tami Coe. Practice was one of the hardest parts of being a pompette. “Practice isn’t only learning new routines; it mostly consists of team cooperation,” explained captain of the squad, Senior Katrina Martin. The cheerleaders had a great year, also. They were one of the top four in camp finals. Their cheering ability got them a place at nationals. They also made it with the team cooperation and the crowd’s participation. This year we haven’t had any fights; everyone gets along so well! The crowd’s response has helped so much in giving us the strength to last through the whole game,” Senior captain Michele Marana claimed.

The Spanish-French Club was opened to any students, whether they took a Spanish or French course or not. “I like to get as many students involved in as much as is possible in a greater variety of activities. It’s nice to be with students outside the classroom. This club has always been fun for me!” said the Spanish-French club’s adviser, Mrs. Shari Kaulig. The Spanish-French Club’s committee had organized many interesting activities for the group this year. The club’s activities ranged from Cooking Demonstrations, weiner roast, bowling, decorating the Christmas tree in the library with ornaments that were inspired by Spanish Christmas’s to their annual trip to Chicago. “I love this club! I like to learn more of Spanish cultures. Most of all, I like the trip to Chicago. It’s great because we get to go with a lot of friends,” said sophomore Alix Borgwald. Latin Club was another language club. The members of the Latin Club were all required to There are many things to do in Spanish-French club. The most common one, however, is talking. Mrs. Kaulig shows the expression of 7 don't know’ while Senior Heather Grisham and junior Pam Gieseke listen to the conversation with curiosity. (Photo by J. Grygiel) be enrolled in a Latin course. “Under the excellent leadership of the president of the club — Pat Nagle, the club enables the members to share cultural experiences from the ancient world in a more interesting way,” explained the Latin Club’s adviser, Mrs. Alice Daugherty. What really was a Latin Club? “Latin Club is a group of ‘friends’ getting together and having a cookout or a toga party,” commented junior Angie Kruger. The club’s president was Senior Pat Nagle. He had an amusing idea of the club’s plan for activities. “If it was up to me, we’d have Toga Parties and Public Baths everyday, but Mrs. Daugherty restrains us,” said Nagle. The two clubs helped their members in different ways. Some looked forward to the cultural aspects; others thought of the clubs as a place to meet with their friends. “Mostly it helps in social aspects. You get to know a lot of new people, and you have a lot of friends,” summed up Senior Heather Grisham, by Kelly Hunt. LATIN CLUB 101 Cultural Exchange Clubs played a very important part in our school this past year. From getting the students to know each other and working together, they also got school activities together and going. One of those clubs was the AFS — American Field Service. Their purpose was to assume responsibility for the welfare of the AFS students in the school and to pursue an interest in international relations and world understanding. This year we had two exchange students, Jacqueline Jer-phanion from Holland and Fundraising is part of AFS. Senior Jacqueline Jerphanion, juniors Nancy Walker, Monica Gourd and Gail Frison listen with satisfaction to the candy sales report. (Photo by L. Zamberletti) “O.K. Let’s hear it for the nomination, said Mr. Carlson, club adviser as the AFS members try to think of the right person for the officers. (Photo by L. Zamberletti) Loren Wulfsohn from South Africa. “The club helps me out and I enjoyed it. They introduced me to the club members and to all the school reception which was very nice,’’ said an exchange student Jacqueline Jerphanion. AFS was not a new thing. It has been in our school for quite a while. “The AFS at DHS has been in existence since the early fifties. We have hosted many foreign exchange students and have sent many of our students aboard,’’ said club adviser Mr. Carlson. Candy bars were sold this year to earn money for the club’s different activities and trips taken throughout the year. “The club takes trips to many places for fun and it’s also educational,” said sophomore Sarah Adair. Being in AFS is a learning experience about other countries and cultures. “I’ve been in AFS for three years and I enjoyed meeting the foreign exchange students and learning about their lifestyles. I also enjoy the parties and socializing with the other students from our school,” said Senior Lisa Baker, by Gretta Burton 102 AFS Throwing a surprise birthday party for foreign exchange student Loren Wolf-sehn.

Schult) 104 THEATER GUILD Stage Performance The props were set; the lines were memorized, and the set was built. The audience waited with great anticipation as finally the massive red curtain parted. DHS had 3 clubs this past year that involved in stage performing — Theater Guild, Speech Club, and Radio Staff. Theater Guild was a drama club. The members were involved in both performing and backstage setting. “I am just superficially flabbergasted by the euphoria I experience when expressing my emotion on stage,” commented sophomore Austin Julian. Gaining experience in drama was not only by being involved in the play, but also by watching and studying other players. “One of my favorite shows that I have seen was Noises Off at the Assembly Hall. The set’s quite organized and the script’s very creative,” said junior Mike Hance. A position in the Theater Guild often carried thoughts of an acting career in one’s head. It meant a great deal to some and yet may not mean anything at all to others. “I would like to be a key grip although I don’t know what it is, but every movie has one so it must be important,” giggled Senior Jennifer Andrews. Theater Guild gave students an opportunity to experience stage work and helped them to plan for their future. “I want to be a backstage technician. Theater Guild helps me in this decision. Although performing on stage is really great, I think the people behind the scenes are the ones who make the progress,” claimed Andrews. Another opportunity that was given to students at DHS was Radio Staff. Members of Radio Staff actually had their own radio program. They were given the chance to produce a 10-min-ute show containing the areas of facts, sports and interview-indepth articles. Each member had a position in radio staff. The recording sessions were on Saturday mornings and played on Sunday mornings. “Radio Staff writes and produces a 10-minute radio program on W1TY about events at DHS,” said junior Angie Kruger, general manager. The recording session which lasted about 2 hours each was going on every week. Speech Club, another ‘onstage’ extra-curricular activity, was open to any interested stu- “I joined Theater Guild because someday I want to get in to opera or Musical Theater and acting is an essential part of both.” — Senior Tammi Patterson THIS CLUB S FOR YOU dents. “Speech Club gives one a chance to portray great people, funny people, sad people, or any kind of person you want. It’s a great club to join if you feel strongly about an issue or just want to improve your speaking ability or quality,” explained junior Nick Almendarez. The three clubs were a good way to get students started on their interest for a future in ‘show-biz’. No matter which ones students joined, it was proved by them as a plus! by Tim Grider. The members of Theater Guild are given the full responsibility in organizing each play. Senior Tammi Patterson, junior Kristen Johnson, and sophomore Debbie Andrew enjoy themselves as they set up the stage. (Photo by S. Darby) SPEECH RADIO 105 Musical Advancement Practice — one word the musicians of DHS knew well. So why would anyone want to join another group? “If I go into music after high school, any music class will really help me. Jazz Band is just an exposure to one more style of music,” stated junior Brad Clem. “I think Jazz Band is great because it gives me a chance to express myself musically. I don’t have to stick to the exact rhythms,” said sophomore Shauna Rosendale. This year, Mr. Doug Clem took charge of Jazz Band. “I really enjoy directing the Jazz Band. I make sure the students are exposed to different composers. My responsibility is much less than with the Symphonic Band,” said Mr. Clem. In Symphonic Band, members must practice very hard in order to keep their positions. Challenges kept students busy. “I practice every night to keep up with all of the music we are expected to play. It is a lot of work, but I enjoy it,” said junior Mary Montgerard. “Playing in concert in Symphonic Band is such a change in style from Marching Band. It gives you a chance to express yourself more as a musician,” claimed junior Lori Zamber-letti. The Symphonic Band has consistently gained honors and awards for its outstanding ability. Our bands continued to be one of the top bands in the state of Illinois, by Jeannie Bieritz ‘‘Symphonic Band is challenging and it helps me with my musical capacity which is rewarding in the long run.” — Junior Pam Gieseke THIS CLUB S FOR YOU Showing his spirit at the Homecoming parade.

In adding Concert Band II, it eliminated freshman band; this way freshmen coming in from middle school had a chance to be in a higher level of playing — according to their ability. “Having two concert bands allows more of a teacher-student contact and also allows the freshman who has better capabilities to go on to a band that is more at their level,’ said band director Mr. Roger Sampson. Concert Band II also allowed freshmen who had never been in band before to start playing. “I like Concert Band; it’s giving me a chance to play better and to learn with other people,” said freshman Jenny Taylor. And that was one of the reasons a lot of people joined band, to be with other people. Others joined because of their love for music. “I joined band because I like the flute and want to learn how to play it well,” said sophomore Julie Troxel.

The success of getting the songs to sound as they’re supposed to and better was a thrill that all band members felt. For a year of working and practicing paid off, they were truly a grand band, by Gretta Burton CONCERT BANDS 109 Classical Musicians Musicians joined orchestra for many reasons, but all had one thing in common — the love in music and performance. “Even though we lost a lot of good people last year, this year’s freshmen show a lot of talent and good potential for years to come,” explained Senior Darin Cauley. The two of many music groups which had performed in a number of successful concerts were the Strolling Strings and the Symphonic Orchestra. This year, the director for both groups was Mr. Ed Grove. “They are good groups. Students work very hard It’s a pleasure working with them!” proudly said Mr. Grove. Strolling Strings which was well liked by the audiences for their romantic music was the strings group — no other instrument. Symphonic Orchestra, on the other hand, was made up of string instruments, wind instruments and brass instruments. “Orchestra is a lot of work. Practice — that may be the worst part. But as a whole, it’s a challenge!” said sophomore Eric Mockbee. Playing a string instrument was definitely a ‘challenge’ for anyone, and as with all instruments, practice was needed with the members’ responsibility, enthusiasm and team work. “I enjoy going out on tour and performing the Strolling Strings music to the people who enjoy music,” said junior Andrew Kim. Concerts and tours gave the members a chance to show what all the practice added up to. Although only few students planned to go into music as a career, most loved what they did. “I will continue with orchestra through college, and I plan to go in to music as a career,” claimed one of the few who wanted to be a musician — sophomore Vicki Wilkerson. Some students enjoyed orchestra for the simpliest reason - MOZART. “Mozart’s music is my favorite They are so beautiful to play and to listen to,” said sophomore Malaika Williams. No matter what the reason was for joining the orchestra, it was said and proved by the members to be very enjoyable; nevertheless, hard work was required. by Michelle Mekel.

Oh, no!” groaned Mr. Larry Voorhees, choir director with the twinkle in his eye showing he didn’t really mind. In fact, it was he who suggested this year’s change — dividing incoming freshmen into separate male and female choirs. The ninth graders, nervous enough about the change to high school, found themselves in choirs which demanded more from them than ever before. ‘‘I like all-girl choir because guys goof around too much. We don’t have as much rowdiness now,” said freshman Julie Julian. ‘‘I miss the interaction! It’s almost more fun having girls’ voices because you get a wider range,” said freshman Eric Appleby. All the freshmen thought the music more challenging than middle school. ‘‘The main reason I am in Viking Chorale is that I really enjoy singing! I learn a lot from Mr. Voorhees. I’d also like to continue in choir in my coming years.” — Sophomore Debbie Garver THIS CLUB’S FOR YOU “It’s good to have a challenge. Besides, in high school we sing more of the music we like,” said freshman Mary Meyer. Viking Chorale, traditionally a sophomore choir, evolved into an all-female treble choir, as its few remaining males were moved into Singing Vikings. ‘‘With an all-female group, we get to do a lot more parts than in a mixed choir since there are more separations in girl’s parts,” said sophomore Debbie Hebermehl. ‘‘There are some disadvantages. I miss the guys’ voices most of all,” stated sophomore Shay Norton. Whether or not the changes in freshmen choirs and Viking Chorale were advantageous, they left behind enthusiasm and a solid base for the build up of the vocal department in the coming year, by Kristen Johnson. Getting up on the stage and readying to show that their long hours of practice have paid off is the Viking Chorale. Some of the songs being presented during the Oct. 30 concert by the group are Greatest Love of All’ and 'My Wish For You(Photo by J.

Hands) VIKING CHORALE 113 Musical Talents With several years of high school vocal experience behind them, members of the Singing Vikings felt like a survival team. They had surpassed many obstacles as they sang through a year of performances with only a minimum amount of minor embarass-ments. “It’s been quite an experience. We’ve progressed so far from our Freshman Choir days. I love the sound of such a big choir!” said junior Michelle Gurney. Singing Vikings had approximately 60 vocalists. It was directed by Mr. Larry Voorhees. This year, 8 of its members re- ceived the high scores at an audition so that they could participate in All-State. “Music — I love it! Almost any kinds,” claimed Senior Jeff Beazley. A special swing choir, called the Contemporaires, is selected every year. This year’s 26 member group performed numerous times throughout the year. Mostly performing pop and jazz tunes, the group switched to Renaissance style as Christmas neared, with its annual Madrigal Dinner — a big success. “I was so thrilled to be chosen to be in Contemporaires!” exclaimed junior Lisa Franklin. “I love every minute of it — even when we argued over what to sing, which outfit to wear, anything!” explained Senior Jennifer Andrews. Mr. Voorhees was very pleased with this year’s Contemporaires. “It is a very young group. We’ve lost a lot of talent at last year’s graduation, but you know what? There is always someone else to step into that place with new talent, and we really have it this year!” said Mr. Voorhees. “Contemporaires is the only reason I’m in school. I would have graduated early, otherwise,” summed up Senior Steve Mizell. by Kristen Johnson. “Contemporaires is a fun group to be in. I love to play piano and perform music for people. This is my first year singing for the Madrigal Dinner. I love it. Learning to sing helps me expand my musical ability.” — Senior Chris Candido THIS CLUBS’ FOR YOU With the talent and love in music that they have, the Contemporaires perform one of the most successful events at the annual Madrigal Dinner.

It had been in the school for at least ten years and had quite a few terrific chess players. The club belonged to the East Central Chess League. “Chess provides an outlet for the mind that almost no other extra-curricular activity provides,” said its adviser and sponsor Mr. Bob Hurst. The next one claimed to be an independent sort of club. Mrs. Carolyn Grant was the club’s adviser. “In computer club, you can work at your own pace and on any computer related projects you want,” explained Senior Robbie Greenburg. Computer Club dealt exactly with what the name said. The members chose the program they wanted to do. The programs varied from keyboarding where students practiced typing, to the more complicated program such as PASCAL. “Science Club allows us to expand our interest. I also love science; I like to perform experiments. You get to meet a lot of people and to work together.” — Freshman Dolly Rajamannar. THIS CLUB’S FOR YOU “Computer Club is a good way to learn new computer stuff like new programming languages and applications,” said junior John Mechalas. Game programs were also offered for the club’s entertainment. “Game Day” was the time most members looked forward to. “The Game Days are terrific!” claimed Mechalas. The last one, Science Club, was appealing to many students since it was a new club and hadn’t been part of the curriculum long. However, the club had done a lot. They did some scientific experiments and went on the field trips. Brookfield Zoo was one of the places they went this year. “Science Club was for students interested in going beyond their science classes and finding the fun in science,” said Senior Moataz Eldib. Ms. Marcia Bell was the adviser of the club this year. The three clubs were started out to meet the needs of students. In doing so, they have created special skills and interest for these students. “Anytime you get a lot of people together with the same general interests, you can have a better and special time!” summed up Senior Mike Dob-bles. by Joy Klannukarn.

BACK ROW: Tammie Hubbard, 118 Y-TEENS Student Relations This year two of the old organizations at DHS were Y-TEENS and Secretaries of Tomorrow or S.O.T. These two clubs allowed students to meet new people, to have new experiences, and to learn new things. Y-teens had been around for over 20 years. It acquired its name because it was once associated with the YWCA. Students involved in Y-teens listened to speakers on many current subjects and planned such activities as dances. One of the popular dances was Sadie Hawkins which was held in February. “I joined Y-teens to meet lots of new people. It has helped me learn to make new friends, to speak openly, and also to learn about the society,” said sophomore Lisa Brooks. Y-teens not only allowed students to meet new people, but ‘‘I simply joined Y-TEENS to meet new people and make new friends. It has helped me to respect my peers more. And it makes me to realize the importance of a good education.” — Sophomore Keya Miller. THIS CLUB S H FOR YOU also allowed them to learn new values and ideas. ‘‘Y-teens has become not only an organization, but a meeting place to make friends. I have become more aware of society and my heritage,” added sophomore Timbe Walker. S.O.T. was a club that helped to prepare students interested in the secretarial field. Any classes except freshman could participate in the S.O.T. The members were excused from school one day to work in an office. “I joined the club because I’m interested in being a secretary and the club sounded interesting. Being President, I find that I have more responsibilities than other members. But I still enjoy it!” said Senior Denise Amos. Each of these activities were the ways in which students were allowed to learn more of their own special interests and to make new friends. It also was a more fun way of learning things than being in the classes. They allowed their participants access to new and exciting things and taught them responsibility at the same time, by Kristi Woods. At this first S.O.T. meeting, the members plan their club's activities. This club does a lot of things that help the members to be prepared in their secretarial career in the future. (Photo by S. Darby) S.O.T. 119 V olunteer Students The Library and Audio-Visual (AV) Clubs are a service organization open to everyone. The club members learn about the Library. We even do different special projects,” said Mrs. Nelms, club’s adviser. Students who worked in the Library automatically were in the clubs, but others could join also. Although students had different reasons for joining, many agreed with sophomore Weslee Earl. ‘‘1 enjoy Library Club. I’ve met a lot of new friends, and I must admit it, one reason that I join it because it’s a lot more fun than Study Hall,” said Weslee Earl. Even if the club members’ main reason for joining was not to avoid Study Hall, a friend was usually another good reason. “I simply joined the club because my best friend told me it’s fun!” claimed Senior Kelly Eaton. Some students looked forward to Library Club and AV club because of the many activities they did. ‘‘The clubs are fun and we do a lot of fun things that you don’t get to do in other clubs,” said junior Luchawna Criswell. ‘‘I like the work we do in the AV club. We deliver equipment to classroom teachers and help in the library any way we can. It is also a good place to meet more people.” — Senior Ruth Robertson H THIS CLUB S FOR YOU Most members would agree the Library and AV clubs were worth the long hours of volunteer work. By Shannan Allhands The smile of despair from freshman Sana Abbed shows that being a library worker is not all fun. But to see students, like freshman Nena Justice, check-out some books with eagerness, makes it all worthwhile. Workers checked out the majority of books. (Photo by J.

(Photo by P Sujatanond) 122 ADVISERS Helping Hands Most students knew that whatever extracurricular activities they were in, there would certainly be an adviser whom they could depend upon. An adviser was someone to advise and to counsel students in the club with decisions and ideas about the club’s activities and also to help in organizing the major club’s events as some major meeting. “I know that Mrs. Nelms will always help us, in the Library Club, to make decisions that will benefit our club, ’ stated junior Tammy Jordan. The adviser position was not only for the benefit of students, but also the adviser himself. “I like to work with students on a more personal basis instead of always in the classroom,” said Medley adviser, Mrs. Linda Halcom. The adviser not only got to know students better, a student also got a chance to know teachers better, too, on a personal and more friendly level. “In the club, having a meeting, deciding, and working with an adviser on fundraising items really helps me feel like I get to know my teacher better!” claimed freshman Stephen Seyfert. Being an adviser did take a lot of time and patience, but it was well appreciated by both advisers and students, by Shannan Allhands Being the AFS club s adviser, Mr. Carlson spends his extra time helping the club 5 committee to get organized, at the club's meeting.

Like what? Well, maybe I could score the winning basket in the State Finals or score the highest on the ACT. You know, something like that. Yeah, or you could make first chair at All-State or play the lead in a play. That’d be great! The only problem is I’m not in sports, music, or Theatre Guild, and I’m not that smart. I guess I’ll just have to be ordinary. Wait, don’t you like riding motorcycles? Sure, I compete in lots of races. I even won state. Why? Well, then that makes you special. People will remember you for that. You see in a high school, no matter B what, ‘It Takes Us AW! 124 PEOPLE DIVIDER Although neither one is currently enrolled in a typing class, juniors Jack Hunt and Mike Schoon try to “hunt n peck ” their way through a paper after school in room 147. Students often found that typing was much faster than writing. IPhoto by L. Zamberletti) PEOPLE DIVIDER 125 TAKE FOUR ALL THE FAMILY “Do you have an older relative who took this class?” This was a question heard dozens of times at the beginning of every new class for those students who had an older brother or sister ahead of them in school. It was fun for teachers to figure out the relationships of new students to old students. Family resemblances helped teachers learn the names and the background of a new collection of pupils. “When dealing with the brother or sister of a former student, a teacher must avoid at all costs any comparisons between the two. Each student must be respected for what they are — an individual,” said Math teacher Mr. Butikas. Teachers who automatical- ly set standards from past experiences pressured students to behave like their older siblings. “My brother is very serious and a good student. He works hard and doesn’t fool around. Two teachers that we both have had always expect me to be like him. They are usually in for a surprise,” said junior Ed Dobbles. Believe it or not, some good did come from following behind. Getting the inside story on what certain teachers expected, learning how to study for classes, and being able to make friends with one’s sibling’s friends were all reasons to appreciate being younger. “It’s good to have my sister’s old notes, but teachers expect more from me be- cause she is a straight ‘A’ student,” said junior Jack Hunt. If two or more of a family attended the same school at the same time, the students were able to keep the dates of school activities and vacations straight. “Having someone else getting ready for band or student council helps because we’re both getting ready at the same time, and that way we won’t be late or get up late in the morning because the other one is always there,” said junior Suzanna Serfoss. Besides school and teachers, parents also pressured younger siblings. This was especially true if the older child was a high achiever. “Having to follow after my older brother, Robbie, is hard because he did well in school and sports. That’s a lot to live up to, but he did his thing, and I do mine so in a way I like following him. I think my parents push me a little harder than they would if I didn’t have an older brother, but it doesn’t bother me that much,” said sophomore Chris Bireline. Keeping up with standards set by parents and teachers caused anxiety, but given a choice between putting up with the pressure and trading a brother or sister in, most admitted that they would not trade in their siblings. “Though we fight a lot, I couldn’t imagine living without her,” said Senior Holly Grisham and her sister, by Danele Burke With her homework done. Senior Carmen Cunningham uses some free time to play with her daughter Britta ny. (Photo by M. Grygiel) STUDENT MOTHERS Raising a child was a hectic task for anyone, but those attending high school found themselves with an unusually busy schedule. One could think of it as a twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week, babysitting job. “It never fails that whenever I’m going to go out, Bre-jonna, all of a sudden, gets sick, and I have to stay home with her,” said junior Erica Jones. Another problem students with children faced was child care during the hours they were in school or at work. Their parents sometimes helped out. “Fortunately, my mom is able to watch Jarryd while I’m in school and at work,” said Senior Jaye Ann Price. Other students weren’t so lucky and had to find other means of child care. “I have to take my daughter to the Center for Children’s Services, because my mom works all day,” said junior Missy Potter. Although the students had to sacrifice their free time, they still loved and cared for their children. “With Jarred I always have someone to depend on for love and caring,” said junior Andrea Carter, by Susan Cunningham 126 MINI MAG THE PEOPL E SCENE NO CLASS Everyone was looking for a reason not to be in school. Excuses were made, classes were dropped, and, of course, school was skipped. Those who skipped meant no harm, but teachers, administrative assistants and parents didn’t approve. Students skipped classes because they didn’t have their homework done, they didn’t like the teacher, or they didn’t like the class. “I think people skip school because they either don’t like the class or they like the freedom of being able to do what they want when they skip,” said junior Leslie Swanson. Just what was it students did when they skipped? Did they go out to eat? Did they go home and sleep? ‘‘If I skipped my friends and I would go to Kickapoo or Kennekuk and lay around in the grass and be extremely lazy,” said Senior Jodi Butler. The new policies concerning skipping were a topic of Students Run Their Own Companies They discussed matters of business and profits and losses. They received a check and even had the chance to buy company stock. They made, took orders for and even delivered their products. They were running their own company. This group of students belonged to Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement allowed students to set up and run their own companies. The students did everything, producing an item to be sold to receiving a share of the profits. ‘‘JA could be a lot of fun if you want it to be. It gives students an understanding of how a real business operates, and it also looks great on a job application,” said junior Susan Warfel. The reasons students joined JA varied. Some wanted the business experience. others joined because their friends joined and then there were those who were just after the money. ‘‘The main reason I joined JA was to get a little extra money and at the same time have a little fun with my friends while being constructive,” said freshman Christie Colwell. While JA provided an opportunity to those who wanted a career in business, it also showed some students that the business world was not for them. ‘We made paperweights and then had to sell them door to door. I don’t think I would ever do it again,” said sophomore Tammy Wasmer. While teaching business skills, JA proved to be the opportunity of a lifetime for some or just a learning lesson for others, by Tim Grider. great conversation among the students. Although they were stricter, they did improve attendance. ‘‘I do not think the penalties for skipping are too strict. Since the policy has been changed attendance has increased because it is so much harder to skip,” said junior Erin Ady. Many students thought they could get away with skipping, but when they were caught those same students paid the price, by Tim Grider In order to make money for their JA company, sophomore Kelly Harden and freshman Tori Pascal put together pine cone wreaths to sell.

I appreciate her relentless efforts to accommodate every individual.” — Senior Pat Nagle “Mrs. Chambers is a fantastic asset to DHS. Her limitless energy and cheerfulness still amaze me. 1 was very lucky to have her as my counselor my first year here and am still fortunate to have her as my friend.” — Senior Mike Butler “Mrs. Chambers and her office are the hub of the universe. People go to her to tell their hopes, dreams, aspirations and excuses.” — Senior Brian Elliott hen the class of 1987 arrived at Danville High School as freshmen, they were all convinced that their new counselor, Mary Chambers was a crazy woman. Only 4 feet 11% inches tall (she swears she’s shrinking!), Mrs. Chambers hardly looked like a forbidding woman. However, students soon learned she usually got them to do just what she wanted. “I didn’t want speech, but before I knew it I was in that class,” said Senior Joyce Wolfinbarger. Most students looked forward to chatting with Mrs. Chambers about everything from college plans to their latest dates. Students began to think of her as a mother and a best friend. She was an important part of their high school lives. “I love her! She really cared about my classes, my grades and me,” said Senior Scott Swanson. Since all students had to change counselors their Senior year, the class of 1987 lost Mrs. Chambers to the class of 1991, and gained two new counselors — Mr. Burton Chase, the career counselor and Mr. Joe Rottman, the college counselor. “I didn’t think it was any big deal to change counselors,” said Senior Nancy Miller. Many students, refused to lose Mrs. Chambers. At a typical lunch hour. Seniors outnumbered freshmen seeking advice in Mrs. Chamber’s office. “She is still like our mom,” said Senior Nici Montgomery. The class of 1987 won’t for get the kindness and concern that Mrs. Chambers gave them throughout high school. “This was the hardest clasv I’ve had to lose, but I agree thal you (students) need a break,' said Mrs. Chambers, by Kelli.

This year was no exception. In addition to school supplies and lunches. Seniors had added expenses from parking stickers to Senior pictures. Usually, Senior pictures proved to be the most expensive. “Most people who come in spend right around $100.00,” said John Milewski of Photography by John. One new expense that Seniors had was a parking sticker. To get a parking sticker a student had to pay a fee of $15. If someone didn’t have a parking sticker, he risked having his car towed. This forced many students, who did not want to pay Parking stickers, which used to be free, cost $15 this year. Mrs. Slaughter assists Senior Chantal Savage in filling out the form to receive one. (Photo by J. Grygiel) the $15, to park on the streets. “Since I drove my car to school, I had gas expenses plus I had to pay the $15 for a parking sticker at the beginning of the year,” said Senior Shane Wilson. Parents of Seniors often helped out by paying for part or all of their child’s expenses. Others weren’t so lucky and found themselves paying for everything. “I have to pay for everything — my Senior pictures, prom, and graduation expenses. Even though it’s expensive, I think it’s worth the money because I’m only a Senior once,” said Senior Jamie Brown. A lot of Seniors felt a part time job was necessary to help pay the costs that their final year in high school brought. “I mowed lawns to get extra money,” said Senior Butch Lipowski.

Sometimes people didn’t like being stereotyped like this because of the problems it caused. “People have called me a flirt before, and I really didn’t like it because I’m not flirting, I just like being nice to everyone. Being called a flirt used to cause a problem with my girlfriend, but now she’s used to it,” said Senior Scott Swanson. Many times people have been stereotyped at one point in their high school years. To some stud- sents this was bothersome, but to others it wasn’t. “I have been called an airhead and spacey and I really don’t like it because I’m not as airy as lots of people think I am. My nickname never caused any big problems, but it did get to the point where I had to actually think and concentrate about what I was doing so that I wouldn’t look like an airhead!” said Senior Ken Dyer. Another problem that was caused by stereotyping was the image students had to portray. But, some people considered it a privilege to be called by their nicknames. “It doesn’t really bother me being called a brain; what bothers me is that I always feel like I have to get an excellent grade on everything. Sometimes people make fun of me if I don’t,” said Senior Amy Serfoss. While often bothersome, most could not get by without being stereotyped at some point during high school.

Schult) Seniors Speak Out “I think I’m stereotyped as a stupid oaf because I’m big. That’s not true, I’m actually quite intelligent.” — Senior Mike Priest “I’ve heard people say that I’m big-headed because I’m the president of student council and that I try to do everything. I don’t like people to think that because it’s not true. I just have a lot of responsibilities, and I have to get things done.” — Senior Gary Render “I have been called an airhead and spacey, and I really don’t like it because I’m not as airy as lots of people think I am.” — Senior Ken Dyer SENIORS 133 ACT ANXIETY October, December, February, April, and June have a special meaning to those who are planning on attending college. These five opportunities gave juniors and Seniors a chance to take the ACT. ACT stands for American College Testing. Most juniors usually took the ACT for the first time in April. If they didn’t like their scores, they could take it again as a Senior. The test consisted of four parts — English, social studies, science, and mathematics. An ACT study course was offered to juniors as a way of preparing and reviewing for the test. The study course was after school and consisted of lectures and computer quizzes. While this proved to be beneficial to many, others thought there was no way one could study for a test of this kind. “I felt that nothing could prepare me more for the ACT than the many years of knowledge I have gained throughout my life,” said Senior Annie Liem. After taking the test one had to wait four to six weeks for the scores. For some, the waiting was harder than actually taking the test. ‘‘The ACT didn’t really seem to be as hard as everyone said it would be. I’m happy with my scores but I just wish that the scores had come faster!” said Senior Brad Schroeder. While ACT scores were an important factor that colleges looked at, students taking the test had to remember to relax and do their best. ‘‘The most important advice I can offer is to go in relaxed and confident. The ACT is not the be all and end all of college admissions,” said Senior Mike Butler. by Joy Klannukarn In order to meet the deadline to take the ACT on October 25, 1986, Senior Steve Minne hurriedly finishes his registration packet in the guidance office.

ROBERT HARRIER SENIORS 135 WHAT A CHOICE Seniors Speak Out “Location has a lot to do with choosing a college. I hope to go to a college close to home, so my mom can still do my laundry.” — Senior Buz Bireline “1 think people who choose a college on the basis of which has the better football team or better parties are strange. If you’re going to pay $10,000, I think you ought to consider getting a good education or you’re paying for some pretty expensive entertainment.” — Senior Mike Dobbles “Choosing a college was easy for me. I wanted to go within Illinois, and after 1 reviewed the state schools, I decided the U. of I. was the best for me. — Senior Brad Schroeder Another one sigh.” A common response from Seniors to college brochures which seemed to pile up very quickly. Choosing a university became an ordeal as Seniors tried to sort through college mail to find the best college. “It’s an extremely hard choice to make. The most important thing to me is size. I want a school big enough to offer a wide course selection, but a school small enough so it isn’t impersonal,” said Senior Jan Rediehs. Location was also an impor- tant factor in choosing a college. Some students wanted to attend out-of-state schools in order to get away from parents and have more independence, while others wanted to be closer to home. “Location of a college is important to me. 1 want a college to be far enough away so that my parents won’t stop by all the time yet close enough to go home a lot,” said Senior Scott Swanson. Expense topped the list for most students looking for the “perfect” school. The lack of financial aid caused problems. “I’m going to Western partially because of the cost,” said Se- nior Ruth Burke. Schools with strongly specialized fields were sought out by Seniors who had already decided upon their careers. “I am planning on attending a school specializing in engineering because that’s the area 1 plan on majoring in,” said Senior Darin Cauley. by Michele Mekel Sorting through some of the many college brochures that Seniors receive.

Worried about paying tuition? Worried about leaving home? The answers to those questions was found right here in Danville. Danville Area Community College solved all those problems for college bound students. While attending DACC, students could get a college education while living at home. This really helped to cut expenses. Others liked the fact they could still be near their families “I am going to DACC so I can stay near my family. My family is here, and I don’t want to leave home,” said Senior Marie Tam. The biggest advantage of DACC was the price. It was significantly cheaper than other colleges. Attending DACC for While in the Guidance Office, Senior Jennifer Donnelly looks over the pamphlets about DACC. (Photo by S. Darby) one or two years was a good way to save money before going on to another college. ‘‘DACC is cheaper than other colleges. The money I save during the first two years will help with my expenses when I go to an out of state college for the last two years,” said Senior Nancy VanPelt. No matter what college a student planned to attend they all served the same purpose — to provide a good education, and DACC provided that in addition to other advantages. ‘‘I’m going to DACC so I can continue my education while saving money,” said Senior Melissa Salrin. Going to DACC proved to be an advantage for those who chose it. KATIE MILLER F. Choir 9; Library AV Club 11. KRISTIE MILLER NANCY MILLER Swimming 9. 10; M.

I have to go out Saturday night.” ‘‘You heard what I said. Now knock it off.” After being in school for twelve years, punishment was just part of life. Even the people who seemed perfect got in trouble for some reason or another. “My worst punishment was a detention in Latin class for trying to launch a cookie with a model catapult,” said Senior Mike Dobbles. Punishments occurred in many different ways. Between parents and teachers no one had a chance. Punishments at school ranged from a detention to in-house. “I received in-house from my P.E. teacher, who unfortunately, gave me a referral because I missed a detention,” said Senior Joe Schatz. Usually the severity of the offense determined what the punishment would be. “The worst punishment I have ever received was not being able to drive to school until I had worked off the money my parents paid for my ticket. They wouldn’t let me pay for my ticket. I had to work it off. They wanted me to learn my lesson the hard way — through housework,’’ said Senior Beth Martin. Some students didn’t feel that their punishments fit their crimes. They thought they were too severe, but when it comes to punishment no one thinks it’s fair. “My junior year I received a five day suspension. I used profanity to describe one of my teachers,” said Senior Jason Baker, by Karen Lindsay Since they were late to 7th hour government class, teacher Miss Parish gave detentions to Seniors Mike Butler. Brian Elliott, and Jon Graves, (photo by J. Williams) Seniors Speak Out ‘‘When I was in sixth grade I received twenty-one swats. — Senior Steve Minne “I skipped English class in 8th grade. My friends and I were sitting in the cafeteria studying for the spelling team. My English teacher pulled me back into the class and yelled at me for 25 minutes, in front of the whole class. I then received 3 swats, right at the beginning of passing period. — Senior Anna Hershberger “The worst punishment I’ve ever received was a five day suspension for skipping a detention I was supposed to serve.” — Senior Eric Collier SENIORS 141 HARD WORKING SENIORS There were many things that kept Seniors busy during their last year of school. One of those things was working. Whether it was selling shoes at Payless or making hamburgers at McDonald’s, most Seniors would take almost any job to earn extra money. “I make pizza at Monicals and my favorite part of working is cashing my paycheck,” said Senior John Monson. A lot of Seniors really enjoyed their jobs and liked the people they worked with. It gave them a chance to make new friends. ‘‘I work at Wendy’s and 1 really like the people I work with. They’re really nice and I’ve made new friends,” said Senior Pam Lynn. One of the drawbacks of having a job was that it took a lot of time away from time spent with friends. Most extra time was spent catching up on studies and homework. ‘‘I like my job, but on nights it’s hard to fit homework into my schedule,” said Senior Bill Little. With good things come bad things and all jobs had their bad points. “I work at Circus World and I really like my job, but sometimes we have to act like babysitters. Parents will come and just drop their kids off for a couple of hours to play and look at the toys,” said Senior Cheri Kidwell. Last but not least were those lucky few who felt no pressure to get a job. ‘‘I feel no pressure to get a job. It would take up too much of my time and I don’t really need any extra money,” said Senior Amy Vandament.by Gretta Burton.

With all these pressures Seniors needed to dream a little. What would be the ultimate graduation gift? That’s a good question to dream about. After a little consideration, Senior Scott Swanson decided to opt for money. “I would say that a hidden million dollar Swiss bank account established by my grandparents would be nice,” said Swanson. Going for the car. Senior Jodi Butler explained her reasoning. “I would ask for a brand new sports car with all the goodies inside, because I know it will be a long time before I can pay for one of my own.” School didn’t end with a high school diploma for a number of students; instead a more realistic dream picked up with the fears of too much work or just not cutting it at college. ‘‘If I could have anything, I would like to know that I will have enough knowledge to do well in college or a new Ferrari Testarosa 88 straight from Italy!” said Senior Jason Baker. For Senior Deron Luke, a new car to replace the ‘‘sled,” his junky station wagon in which he had to strap himself to the door to keep it shut, was ideal. “If I could have anything I’d take a new Dodge Aspen,” said Luke. Graduation did not bring with it any of the extreme gift dreamed up by the Seniors, bul it did fulfill a long awaited drearr of completing twelve years ot schooling, by Danele Burke While looking through a magazine Senid Tammy Maze spots a picture of a caj Many Seniors wished for cars for gradw tion gifts.

Bob Hurst was in M charge of getting ideas for Senior shirts this year, as he has been for many years. He set aside three weeks for any Senior who wanted to submit an idea to him. “It seemed much easier to design this year. Seniors worked together to get a design,’’ said Mr. Hurst. The Senior class attempted to get as many ideas as possible. After all ideas had been turned in, all Seniors were invited to attend a meeting where they voted on the designs for the “official’’ Senior shirt. There were two that Seniors couldn’t choose between so they decided to use both designs — After looking at the sample. Senior Buz Bireline decides to purchase one from Mr. Hurst. The shirts were designed by members of the Senior class. (Photo by M. Grygiel) one on the front and the other on the back. Nici Montgomery made one of the designs and Amy Serfoss, Jenni Williams, Jodi Butler, and Kelly Hunt designed the second one. Seniors were allowed to order the shirts until November 26, 1986. At that time about seventy shirts had been sold at a price of twelve dollars each. The Senior class made a profit of $60. “I wanted a special memento from my high school years that would also be useful,’’ said Senior Nancy Miller. Other students just enjoyed the prestige that came with being a Senior. “I got a Senior shirt because I want everyone to know I’m a Senior,’’ said Senior Mike Dob-bles. Some Seniors felt that a Senior shirt was necessary for identification. “People see me in the hallway and they think I’m a sophomore and I don’t like that,’’ said Senior Cindy Marsh, by Kelly Hunt WAYNE WURTSBAUGH F.

JOSEPH ZARN AMY ZILKO SENIORS 147 JUST ANOTHER NAME “Hey, Tweety!” “Yeah Bubba.” “What are you and Virgo doing tonight?” We 're going with Cadillac and Choicey to the mall. ” Although these did not sound like real names, students understood them like a second language. Nicknames; 1. a name, often used in place of a person’s real name 2. a shortened form of a first name. “My first name begins with a J so people just picked up the nickname Jay, and it doesn’t bother me at all that they call me it,” said sophomore Jennifer Romine. Nicknames often originated from relatives or parents who felt they were cute or fitting. However, once one had acquired a nickname, it usually stuck with them whether the student liked it or not. “My grandpa has always called me Buster. It was because I was such a large m baby. Now, a lot of my friends call me Buster too,” stated junior Del Wheeler. Extra-curricular activities also played an important part in choosing nicknames. In fact, many students did not even have a nickname until they got involved in an activity. Usually the given name had to do with how a student performed in the activity. Super. I guess it is because I really know how to handle a ball on the court,” explained junior Kevin Smith. A lot of times a student would be named after a t.v. hero or someone they admired greatly. This could have resulted because of a physical likeness or just a likeness. These nicknames didn’t usually bother a person. “Sylvester Stallone, Rambo, is my all time favorite actor. My friends call me Grambo. I don’t really mind when they call me by my nickname,” remarked Bill Graham. Special traits or characteristics sometimes stuck a student with an unwanted nickname. Often these faults caused embarrassing moments that seemed to promote the use of one’s nickname. “My co-workers call me clutz and airhead, but sometimes I must admit I can be,” said Senior Linda Anderson. Nicknames had a variety of origins and many unique names, but it seemed they always described one to a T. “Hey, Lofty!” “I told you that's not my name, besides I’m not an airhead. ” “I know, but it’s fun to call you it.” “But, couldn't you call me something nice? “Well, if the shoe fits, wear it!” by Shannon AIIhands The players on the team call me Spoon.

Has the love of your life left? The time of moping and grieving seemed to last for centuries. Almost everyone agreed saying goodbye to those they cared about was difficult. They also agreed that having a long-distance relationship took reliance and affection from both people. “It makes a couple realize how much they need each other and how much fun they had together,” said junior Brad Clem. One reason why students felt long distance romances didn’t work was because time passed between them, and they gradually grew apart. For example, some students decided to see other people that they were closer to physically as opposed to their long distance separation. “Waiting for phone calls and letters is the hardest part, but when they finally arrive, it all seems worth the days of waiting and wondering when they would come,” stated sophomore Heather Boehm. However, there were positive things to think about in these companionships; such as when visiting each other, the time spent together was very momentous for both individuals. “The relationship is tough because you hardly see one another, but they are also nice because when you do see each other, you enjoy the time together a lot more,” explained Senior Tricia Seyfert. Keeping in touch with their loved one was hard on them and their families. One reason was because students had to travel long distances to see their sweetheart, and most parents wouldn’t allow it. “The key word in long distance relationships is trust. If you believe in that person, a long distance relationship can work, even if you don’t see them that often,” stated sophomore Michelle Wynn. Trust and love were some main ingredients to make this kind of alliance work. “Discipline is the key word in a relationship you really have to be devoted to that person,” said Senior Ken Dyer. No matter if the companionship worked or not, the experience of caring, loving and understanding allowed many to express their feelings and encounter many of the several trials that young-adults went through, therefore allowing many to mature at a younger age. by Joy Klannukarn Really a long distance relationship depends on the love you have for one another and most of all your trust and faith. — Sophomore Arthur Cunningham David Cunningham Jason Cunningham Susan Cunningham Vincent Cunningham Beth Curry Betty Curry Kimberly Curry Scott Darby Jackie Davis Jay Davis Tracy Davis Mark Dean Noel Dean Jeff Denney Paula Denney Robin Devoss Jimmy Dill Dennis Dillion Ed Dobbles Cory Dodd Marcy Dokey Nelson Donnely Rosiland Douglas Wendy Downing John Duensing Derrek Eakle Michelle Eck Shawn Elliot JUNIORS 151 Lisa Ellis Angel Englert Danielle Farr Lynn Fellows Rhonda Fennell Vincent Ford Camille Foster Edna Foulks Lisa Franklin James Frazier Gail Frison Matt George Pam Gieseke Doug Goff Carrie Goode David Gorman Monica Gouard Stanley Gouard Bill Graham Molly Gramm Tammy Grant Timothy Grider Mark Grites Michelle Gurney Roger Gutteridge Mark Guymon Tracy Haas Debbie Habben Henry Hamm Kyu Suk Han Michael Hance Paul Hardin Rhonda Hardy Cheryl Harper Mike Harris Stacey Haskins Carrie Hathaway Tricia Hays Clifford Hegg Kathleen Heidrlck Mark Hickman James Hill Renee Hlser Jason Hodges Mike Holden Tammy Holst Linda Homza Shay Hoskinson Brian Howland John Howrey Sam Huber Heather Huffman Christopher Hunt Jack Hunt Tonya Hutchins Tiffany Ingrum Tamml Jacks Caffie Jackson Corey Jackson Donette Jackson Mark Jackson Ramona Jackson Scott Jacobsen 152 JUNIORS John Jansky Jay Johnson Kristen Johnson Ronald Johnson Brett Jones Jason Jones Jennifer Jones Roxy Jones Zettie Jones Tammy Jordan Dena Jumps Billy Jynella Chuck Kammln Stacey Kegley Michael Killlngham Andrew Kim Elisa Kim Aaron King Personality Profile Billi Jo Hutches Obstacles to Overcome As the soccer season officially began on August 18, there was a noticeable addition to those trying out. A girl for the first time. Billi Jo Hutches. Billi Jo moved here from New York where she had had a lot of earlier experience in the sport from her past team. During her sophomore year, Billi Jo decided to test her talents and tryout for the two-year-old, all-boy soccer team. “1 became interested in playing soccer when I was in seventh grade. In New York, I played on a girls soccer team which I really enjoyed,” said Billi Jo. Tryouts were a nerve racking experience for everyone, especially when one was a girl trying out for an all-boy sports. Yet, with Billi Jo’s talent and love of soccer, she not only tried out but made the team. In the future, the soccer team would have to be considered a coed-team. Billi Jo had managed to open up a new sport for girls at the school. “I was nervous, and I thought at first none of the guys would accept me, but it wasn’t long before I was treated as part of the team,” she explained. Many of her teammates thought she had a lot of obstacles to overcome, but overcome them she did. Old stereotypes that girls cannot compete in a boy dominated sport was just one of the feelings she changed in others. Her courage also brought her the respect she deserved. ‘‘She had taken a lot of criticism most people wouldn’t have and she has not let it stop her,” said freshman teammate Geoff Meeker. ‘‘Of course we didn’t think she could do it, and she had to work to do as well as some of the guys on the team, but she turned out to be a real good player,” explained freshman teammate Carl Long. Determination and spirit were what it took for Billi Jo to stick with the soccer team and to contribute to her school. These factors made Billi Jo an asset to the team and an encouragement to others, by Angelia Matayo While on the White-sell Field, sophomore Billi Jo Hutches practices her soccer techniques.

A pet, of course. Although the average person had such common pets as dogs and cats that they could cuddle up to, some students didn’t have it so easy. These students had unusual pets ranging from snakes and gerbils to ferrets. “My family used to own a snake. I didn’t like it because it was slimy, and I was always afraid to go near it,” said sophomore Amy Baum. Other students just simply had many pets of the same kind. “I have six cats. Although it seems as if I have sixty, I still wouldn’t get rid of any of them,” commented sophomore Cam Dossey. While this was the case for some, others preferred smaller animals such as fish, hamsters and gerbils. “I have fish because they are so much easier to take care of than a dog or cat, and they do not make messes, unlike my cocker spaniel,” stated freshman Jenny Andrews. It was true that dogs were the most popular pet in the eyes of most students. “My cockapoo, Socks, is like another member of my family. When I’m sad, Socks is always there to cheer me up,” added junior Michelle Brink. People seemed to confide in their pets a lot more than in other people. This was partly due to the fact that animals couldn’t argue with you unlike a brother or sister. “I find myself talking to my dog once in a while. I guess it gives you a sense that someone is listening to what you have to say or what you’re feeling,” stated sophomore Debbie Hebermehl. Why did students choose the pets they wanted? One reason was because other members of their family were allergic to certain types of animals. Another reason was that students just simply fell in love with their pet at first sight. “I have always liked an outside dog, mainly because we like big dogs, and my mother won’t let me keep a big dog in the house,’’ explained freshman Amy Hamick. Pets also seemed to enrich their owners lives and were well worth the effort the owner exerted to care for their pet. They usually felt that the animal was part of the family and home. “We have always had some kind of animal in our home. There would be a definite emptiness without them,” stated sophomore Kimberly McMillan. It was clear that everyone had a soft spot for animals, by Kristi Woods I feel that most kinds of pets become part of your family; therefore, sometimes you forget that they’re not human.

Small Divisions of the student body. You’ve heard of them all — preps, jocks, brains, theatre people, and the list goes on. Each group holds itself apart, living in separate worlds, with differing fashions, attitudes and values. Was it possible to guess what group a person was in just by looking? Many people claimed they could. “Preps range from people who dress with the trends to people who set their own style. Hoods dress casual in black concert t-shirts and faded jeans,’’ explained junior Michelle Brink. “Most people classify hoods as not caring what they wear, but it is not true. We dress the way we do because it’s what we like and we have no aim to impress anyone when we do choose what we wear,” said sophomore Jim Dickson. Students belonging to the so-called theatre group thought that others looked at their group as different — set apart. “The others don’t have any idea what we’re about they don’t understand. We aren’t weird, we just have more fun,” concluded senior Jennifer Andrews. This “they don’t understand” and “we have more fun” attitude was one characteristic all groups seemed to share. Everyone wanted his group to be the best, even if it meant scorning others. Whether one considered himself a hood, prep, jock, or whatever, he wanted to be proud of that fact and let everybody know it. Rarely did one cross the well-guarded borders between two cliques. “It’s hard sometimes to have other groups accept you because you don’t have their qualities,” stated junior Jamie Meharry. “Once you’re in one of these groups, it’s almost impossible to make friends outside of it,” said senior Nancy Van Pelt. Impossible? Perhaps. It was true enough that friendships involving partners from different groups were strained. Too often these groups fell into certain reputations and most would rather not have walked on foreign grounds. “I don’t think it’s good to stay in the same realm of friends at all times, because it can become monotonous. Interchanging with different groups of friends breaks that monotony,” stated sophomore Vicki Wilkerson. This fact was true but not all students took advantage of how they really felt about it. But then again, it didn’t matter what kind of clique you were in as long as you were willing to be friends with others, even those who might not be part of your “in” crowd, (by Kristen Johnson) Cliques are not as strictly defined as most people reflect. But, 1 think certain characteristics are labled on certain groups too much.

I don’t let anything get me down, and I just don’t think about it,” explained Mike when asked how he coped with his handicap. Some might think that being in a wheelchair would limit one’s activities, but that wasn’t so for Mike. “This last summer I went to camp and we played tennis, basketball, track and field, swimming, and had races. I also compete in races with my wheelchair,” stated Mike. As most teenagers had many friends, Mike was no different. His friends view him as equal to anyone else, and they treated him like it. “They (his friends) treat me normal; we usually joke around about being handicapped,” Mike exclaimed. Growing up as a teenager was hard enough let alone being handicapped. Almost everyone had someone to turn to when they needed help. “My father has been the most help to me in dealing with the problem of my handicap, just by being there to talk to me about it,” replied Mike. In these times, the future is held in equal perspective to all people. Jobs are now available to all walks of life. “One day I would like to become a lawyer or own my own business, but I haven’t really thought about it yet,” expressed Mike. We all had problems so in dealing with them Mike gave this advice: “Don’t let anything get you down no matter what it is, or how bad it is,” said Mike. “Mike is a great person. He jokes around and enjoys life, people seem to forget about his handicap; he will go a long way with his attitude,” stated junior Eric Zanders, by Michelle Miller Phillip Schutz Suzanna Serfoss Mike Seyfert Chris Shaffer Todd Shaw Dina Shepard Rodney Shoaf Tracy Shurig Randy Sloger Doug Smalley Adrianne Smith Angela Smith Using up some free time at lunch sophomore Shelley Weir and Senior Wayne Wutsbaugh discuss with junior Mike Barnes the events that happened during the day.

This is the fourth day he has given us homework. Gee I hope he isn’t like that at home.” For many this would not have been a typical conversation; yet for a few students who had parents that were teachers at the school, this was normal. But, were the really strict teachers strict at home? Did all the other teachers run to the student’s parent when they got a bad grade on a test? Was life as a teacher’s child really horrible? Certainly not. Students with parents teaching here and the parents themselves saw things in a different light. ‘‘I really like having my mom teach here; if I ever need to talk to her during the day she is always there!” said junior Nicky Bogart. Her mother felt the same way. ‘‘It’s fun having her pop in during the day to tell me different information that we usually would forget by night,” said English teacher Molly Bogart. It appeared that the teacher’s kids and the teachers themselves felt that there were definitely more advantages than disadvantages. “My mom is there to help me with my homework. She knows what I am doing so it does help a lot. She is also a ride to school!” explained junior Todd Townsley. The main disadvantage spoken was the fact that people all over the school knew that certain teachers were students’ parents or even siblings. Sometimes things could get very uncomfortable for the kids, but things were not always that way. Some students were a lot more comfortable with the situation than others. “My brother is a teacher here and I like it a lot because he gets to know my friends, and I can go and talk to him if I need to. He is also a lot of fun and gets along with everyone,” said junior Brad Clem. Another disadvantage that caused some students paranoia was knowing that their parents could check up on them by talking to the teachers of their classes. “Sometimes my father knew what I got on my test before I did, especially if the grade wasn’t too good,” said junior Ed Dobbles. “It’s rough. Everyone gives you flack and it’s real easy for other teachers to tell on you,” said sophomore Rich Roth. Whether life was harder or not, one thing seemed better and that was the communication between students and their parents, by Suzanna Serfoss I feel closer to my two kids because of my position here. I know what really goes on in their lives. It’s a great deal!

Hobbies may have been a time for a student to be alone and with a student’s hectic life, having a little time for themselves could really be important. “My hobby is writing. It helps me keep my sanity! I write poems, books or just notes to my friends,” said Senior Kris Foster. For some students a hobby was like a passing fad: here today gone tomorrow. But, for most having a hobby was a life long experience. “I have been collecting books, figures, etc. from the Civil War since I was about ten years old,” explained sophomore Jennifer Romine. Some hobbies were for fun and many were quite educational as well. Students found that through a hobby one could combine enjoyment with the education of a new experience. “I enjoy playing the flute and the piano because I love music. Playing gives me something to do and at the same time I learn from it,” stated sophomore Julie Pickett. For some students their hobbies were started on their own while others had family traditions to build on. It seemed that most hobbies that had been passed down through the generations were just as treasured as a family photo album. “My grandfather left me his coin collection because it has gone down through the family. I hope I can add to the collection and give it to my grandchild sometime,” said sophomore Kimberly McMillan. Extra-curricular activities had always played an important part in student’s lives, and many found them to be the perfect hobby. “I’m on the swim team, and I really enjoy swimming. I started to meet others, and I guess you could say I got hooked. Now, swimming is my hobby,” explained junior Jamie Meharry. “My hobby is performing in the Marching Band because I really enjoy going to the different parades. I also enjoy playing my instrument, the French horn,” stated Senior Debbie Sherrill. The reasons for students to have hobbies were as wide a variety as the hobbies themselves. But, all agreed they were a part of their lives they really enjoyed. So whether one’s hobby was old or new, a learning experience or not, a hobby was a great break from the schoolwork blues. by Michelle Miller I’ve had some stuffed animals since I was one so 1 just started collecting them.

And that was what sophomore Heidi Nitzke strived for. After dancing for over 10 years Heidi knew how important it was to be the best she could be. This required dedication to dancing that most students her age could not achieve. Heidi began taking dancing lessons when she was four years old, and now she continues her lessons at Faye’s Dance Company. She performed in a duet with a friend and also danced in the senior dance group at Faye’s. “I have classes 2 times a week, and this requires a lot of practice in between. I usually practice two to three hours a day so I can do my best,” said Nitzke. In addition to taking lessons, Heidi is also an assistant dance instructor at Faye’s. “Helping others helps me learn, too. It’s really a good experience,” stated Heidi. Although she teaches dancing, Heidi was not sure if she was ready to make dancing a full time career. “I’ve thought about dancing as a career, but I’m not sure exactly what I want to do. I’m not so committed to dancing that I would go to a special dance school instead of college — I’m not ready for anything like that,” said Heidi. Although Heidi wasn’t sure about dancing as a career, she has done things that are necessary experience to have a successful dancing career. “Just to prepare myself, I like to perform locally when possible. Civic activities, such as the Fractured Follies, give me a chance to work with others,” stated Heidi. With all the hard work she put into dancing, Heidi Nitzke knew that practice really paid off. Dancing was a big part of her life that wouldn’t change even if her dance expectations stop with the choice of another job field. Heidi’s dance was an example of effort and dedication making a difference, by Michelle Miller Many years of dancing helped Sophomore Heidi Nitzke to make the pompette squad.

Danville certainly is different from the place where I came from, but I do love it,” stated Kristi. You can imagine the adjustments that you would have to make when moving from one town and then back again. “I was really shocked at just how much everyone had changed, but I soon began to fit in again and I’m glad to be back,” said sophomore Julie Bell, who moved back last year. “I still missed everyone in my old town but having friends in Danville really helped and I’m glad that I knew someone here,” said Julie. Moving to a new town also meant cultural changes, even if the person only moved from the next state. With the different values and ideas of the community new people 166 SOPHOMORES often found conflicts with their normal activities. These changes might have caused problems adapting to the town. Yet on the other hand, some people found the transition much easier and even exciting. “Sometimes I start thinking about what it would be like to move away and I wish I could, just so I could get the real feel of a different society,” stated junior Mary Montgerard. The everyday life students led was a shelter to the outside world; it made them prone to staying in their circles. Moving away was always hard but it gave an individual a chance to make new friends and still keep old ones. It also gave more job opportunities if it was for you or a member of your family.

While some students were going out with friends to the mall or to a basketball game, still others enjoyed spending a nice quiet night at home. “Generally I don’t go out on weekends. I either work or stay home and read, watch T.V. or work on my mountainous piles of homework!’’ exclaimed senior Meghan Stewart. Other students said they didn’t go out on weekends because they wanted to spend time with their boyfriends. “1 stay home on most weekends, because my boyfriend lives near me and I mainly like to spend as much time as I can with him,” commented sophomore Amy Vincent. Still other students just took the time to be with their friends at home without going out to an event. “On the weekends, I usually stay home and hang around my friends in the neighborhood,” commented sophomore Kim Curry. There were those whose parent or parents worked second or third shift and the time they couldn’t spend with their family during the week was spent on the weekends catching up on each other’s lives. When most students were asked: Why don’t you go out on weekends? What do you do? The most common reply was: “I just watch T.V. and relax after a hard week at school,” replied sophomore Jon Carrell. Some students weren’t so lucky as to choose whether or not to go out. Students that had major tasks to be done around the house that they didn’t have time for during the week, usually tried to get these chores done on the weekends when more time was available. Students with hobbies that they were serious about stayed home and concentrated on their specialties. “I enjoy making crafts. I like to knit blankets or make little trinkets to hang or decorate with,” stated sophomore Michelle Wynn. So while some students were rushing out to the mall, others used their time to do something they enjoyed at home. Both ways, students found a way to relax and have fun. by Michelle Miller Helping the fire on a cold night. Senior Lynda Bradley prepares to spend a relaxing weekend at home. (Photo by S.

This was an acceptance speech after being elected President of the sophomore class. “I got involved in Student Council to make the year more exciting. My start was at North Ridge, but I was a representative last year. I was convinced to run for President by a lot of friends. I wanted to take on more responsibility and be more involved,” commented Tammy. Tammy had many responsibilities being President of the class of ’89. Her energy and eagerness showed in her actions. “Aside from relaying ideas to the council, I help organize new ideas and set them in motion. It takes more time, but I enjoy it,” remarked Tammy. Thinking ahead in preparation for sponsoring Prom, Tammy planned many fund raisers in hopes of a nice Prom in ’88. “I am hoping that we can make the next year’s Prom the best ever! This year we held a button sale, car washes, spring cleaning for the elderly, a chocolate Easter bunny sale, garage sales, and a dance. We hope to make a lot of money,” said Tammy. “I have a great time being President. It’s a lot of fun! I love it!” exclaimed Tammy. Tammy had also been involved in music. Since the sixth grade she had played the flute. “I remember I thought my third grade teacher was really neat. She played the flute and I wanted to be like her so I started playing the flute! Now I’m in the Viking Chorale, the full orchestra, and the marching band. It’s very exciting!” laughed Tammy. In addition to Student Council and her many musical groups, Tammy was in a youth group at the Second Church of Christ. “Since the group is all high schoolers, everybody enjoys themselves and we all get along well. Sometimes we go on retreats to colleges and get to meet lots of people,” remarked Tammy. With school work and extra-curricular activities, Tammy had a busy year, by Brigid Nagle Showing her more academic side, sophomore Tammy Gar wood instructs sophomore Shay Norton on the three parts of the small intestines during their Anatomy Physiology class.

I am finally sixteen. 1 can finally get my driver’s license after school today!” ‘‘I can’t wait until I finally turn sixteen. My parents had better get me a big present. That’s all I know.” “I hope I get a car. I have been asking for one for about six months. I told them they could give it to me on my birthday.” Did one of these phrases sound familiar? Probably so. The anticipation of one’s sixteenth birthday got the better of most people. One of the most traditional sixteenth birthday presents was a car or a class ring. “On my sixteenth birthday, my parents bought me a car and my class ring,” stated sophomore Renee Grant. Even though a car was traditional, a number of gifts were given. “For my sixteenth birthday my parents gave me a trip to California so I could go see my boyfriend who I met on a cruise in July. It was really special,” said junior Julie Autor. For some people actual gifts weren’t given. They received other things such as a break from daily chores. “My parents gave me a rest from washing the supper dishes. It was special to me because I hate washing dishes,” stated junior Nick Olmendarez. Along with turning sixteen, a little more trust and freedom were given to the individual. So not only material gifts were given, but agreements were made and limitations were extended. “My parents gave me a ruby necklace, but the most important present was a later curfew and more freedom,” explained junior Dina Shepard. Parties went along with birthdays; if someone didn’t give you one, you and your friends found a good one to go to. The most special party was a surprise one. This way you knew people had remembered your birthday. “My youth group threw me a surprise party and my mother bought me a cake with big red lips on it because of the saying ‘Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed.’ I was surprised by the cake but my mother was even more surprised to find out the saying wasn’t true,” said senior Meghan Stewert. “My parents took me out to dinner for my birthday; they surprised me with a car later on,” stated junior Brad Candler. Although there were many gifts people received and different ways people celebrated, some individuals enjoyed, in fact, loved the idea of getting a car of their own. Like all things of your own personal possession the gift made a statement about your inner thoughts and feelings, reflecting your true colors. “For my sixteenth birthday I got a car, not to mention my license. It is extremely special to me because it’s like an extension of my personality. I can tell a story about every little thing in it (every dent),” stated senior Max Grllly. by Karen Lindsay Taking advantage of her sixteenth oirrn-day present junior Julie Autor taxis a few of her friends home after school.

Or were they? A variety of opinions showed through when the question was put to the students. One side of the issue concluded that the time one spent in high school was hard times filled with changes, while others took the many responsibilities and freedoms to mean a great adventure. A chance to grow and to have new experiences came with high school, and if one answered the call, he was sure to have some fun. Getting freedoms like a drivers’ license, a job, and later curfews were highlights that definitely brought a positive attitude toward high school. “I think your high school years are definitely the best years of your life, because you gain freedom and responsibility and make a lot of friends that you’ll have the rest of your life,” said junior Tracy Haas. Having school, homework, and a job made many struggle to keep their grades up, and a busy day was a normal day. Dating and staying out later brought new relationships that were trying as well as fun. There were a lot of options for social lives, and students had to decide how they felt about very real issues. There was an in between on whether these were the best years or not. Both the good and the bad were taken into account, and students found that the two extremes overall were balanced. “These are definitely the best years of our lives. I mean, where else in our lives can we act like adolescents and actually get away with it?” said freshman Florence Urso. Another perspective on the question was offered by another student. “These are supposed to be the best years of your life. A lot of times they are, but too often you have problems with school and life in general that they really don’t prove to be what they’re supposed to be,” explained junior Michelle Harry. The freedoms and responsibility of the four years of high school took their toll on the students. The years were filled with happiness and sadness, all the highs and lows of growing up. The roller coaster years filled with ups and downs were an exploration of life to come. by Danele Burke The best years of your life meant having a social life, and participating in school activities was part of that fun.

Personality Profile Monica Williams Contributed Greatly How would you like to be a freshman with abundant talent in dance and exceptional intelligence? Well, Monica Williams was lucky enough to have obtained these characteristics. It seemed obvious Monica was going nowhere but up during her years at the high school and in future plans. With future goals to be an obstetrician, Monica realized she would not only have to carry a challenging schedule but also make above average grades in all her classes. “Monica is very consceintious and is one student who will come in after school for extra help,” explained English teacher Mrs. Halcom. If her freshman year was any evidence of her determination and hard work, it seemed her dreams would come true. Through very good time management Monica stayed on the honor roll while involved in several extra-curricular activities. “School isn’t my most exciting activity,” stated Monica. This could have only been expected with the various other interests Monica found to occupy her time. Among these were Science Club, Spanish Club, and Y-teens. She also budgeted time for her musical interests in orchestra and with her energetic personality represented her freshman class in student council. It was evident Monica contributed greatly to the high school but she also had her out of school activities, mainly her dancing. “When I started, I didn’t like to dance, but it has done a lot for me,” said Monica. Monica has overcome her dislike and has been dancing for ten years at Cromwell School of Dance. She has achieved many awards including first place in tap class at Georgetown and benefit dances. She was also accustomed to finding her picture in the newspaper. “Monica and I have danced together in competition. She has a nice personality and a lot of talent,” said sophomore Stacey Taylor. Monica had obviously chosen to experience and participate in numerous activities with the knowledge that they would benefit her greatly in her high school years and future, by Stephanie Williams In order to keep her grades up freshman Monica Williams participates in her English class.

What are you doing on Saturday? A bunch of us are going to a movie and we were wondering if you wanted to come along?” “I would love to but I am going out with John on Saturday.” “You are going out with HIM! You’re kidding! What is going on between you two?” “Nothing. We are just friends. Can’t you understand that? We are just friends!” Some people couldn’t understand how guys and girls could be friends and not have any stronger feelings for one another. Some people even joked around about the opposite sexes being friends and caused the boy girl friendship to break up. Yet despite the jokes and teasing, a lot of kids just didn’t care what others said and paid no attention to their harrassment. “It doesn’t bother me when someone sees me with a guy and then talks about us. After a while they stop teasing you about it,” said freshman Jordan Martin. When it came to distinguishing between girl or boy friends most people did not see a difference, at least not in their trust between them and their friend. “I definitely have the same trust and confidence with guys as with girls. Sometimes it is better to talk to a member of the opposite sex about your problems. You get a different point of view,” stated Senior Kris Foster. Along with any friendship there was almost always arguing. In a boy girl friendship these conflicts still took place. No exceptions were made for either a guy or a girl. Arguing was arguing, and resolving the problem was just as important. “When it comes to an argument, they are all the same. You try to resolve it no matter what. A friend is a friend, and their sex isn’t important in finding a resolution,” explained sophomore Renee Grant. Students seemed to feel the pluses of a boy girl friendship out weighed the minuses. “Having a close friend of the opposite sex is great because you can stare at him and still be friends, said sophomore Vicki Zordan. Basically most students thought there was no difference in a boy or girl friend, by Karen Lindsay During Biology Seniors Lori Thomas and Chris Rothery find time to discuss their day with one another.

What types of changes did freshmen experience in order to “survive” amongst the other students in the high school? Some changes they had to go through were the size of the school, the greatly increased student body, the amount of homework given, and the fear. Many of the freshmen’s worries were that of fitting in and being friends with the “in” crowd. They feared that they wouldn’t be accepted easily by the other freshmen, let alone the upperclass students. “When 1 came to the high school I was afraid that people in my classes wouldn’t like me, so at first I only talked to the people I knew,” said freshman Samantha Crosby. On the other hand there were those who felt that they didn’t have to act a certain way or be in any certain group to fit in at the high school. “I see myself as my own individual who doesn’t have to do anything special or follow anybody else to fit in. I’m in my own ‘in’ crowd,” explained freshman Tapria Reed. Even though the size of the school and the masses of people were a big change, another noticeable but positive change to freshmen was the lunch break. “You get to go out and eat anywhere you choose! I’m glad that we are given more freedom than in middle school,” said freshman Mike Cash. The freshmen may have been satisfied with the lunch break but they weren’t too thrilled about the homework. Most felt that it was harder, and that there was more of it. “You get more homework here at the high school and it is much more time consuming,” stated freshman Dechelle Gentry. The real question to ask freshmen was: Did the change to the high school prove to be as fatal as you assumed? Amazingly most f freshman didn’t think so. “It wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined. Everyone was different but they all seemed to fit in and be accepted,” explained freshman Tammy Marsh, by Suzanna Ser-foss Freshmen also found the high school a great opportunity to meet new people and start new relationships.

Computer genius, junior John Mechalas was one of the more computer-oriented students at Danville High. He has been working with computers since middle school when he was first introduced to them in a summer course at North Ridge. “I began working in programming; at first, most of my programs were games,” said John. John entered a state programming contest and took first place in the games division during his freshman year. Mechalas’ interest was not only in computer games, but he also used it to help in school. “I have used the computer’s word-processing for typing school papers. I have also written programs to quiz me over materials that will be on an upcoming test,” said John. John also has used his computer knowledge to his advantage by taking a study period and helping school teachers with numerous things including working with computers. Mechalas does not plan to go into a directly computer-related field. However, he is planning to go into aerospace engineering which would require some knowledge of computers. Computers have been a big part of everyone’s life without people even realizing it. They’ve been coming of age and have started to affect some but not many such as John. This was usually caused from the expense of computers. “I think everyone should learn to work a computer even if it’s just basic knowledge. I’m glad they have implanted the computer literacy requirement into the system,” said John. Computers for children have become even more popular and more in demand lately. This fact is due to the greater awareness of them. “I think we as individuals or parents should introduce computers to children as early as possible, even before middle school, such as I was. If we do this, the kids will be more apt to enjoy the computer,” said John.

The dreams of Spain come to reality as Spanish teacher Mr. Paul Carlson gets his picture taken with a friend he met there. (Photo by P. Carlson) GETTING AWAY At last! Restful relaxation away from all the heavy responsibility these teachers have endured all year long. A leisurely vacation from students, homework, and whatever else that came along. It was a wonderful idea to get away for a while. “My husband is a teacher too, and we always seem to take what we call a ‘social studies’ vacation,” said English teacher Mrs. Garnet Nixon. Most teachers might have planned a fantasy vacation to Hawaii or Europe, while others did something else in order to keep their sanity. “My hobbies are extremely important to me and I cherish the time I get to do them,” said Math teacher Mr. Bill Butikas. For summer vacation, some teachers decided to put their pens down and slip into bed, not to awaken until August rolled around. Actually, some just liked spending time with family and friends. “Instead of spending time with the people that are special to me, I toured the southern part of Spain and saw some of those places that I had always wanted to see,” said Spanish teacher Mr. Paul Carlson. Vacations were not only good news and fun times for students, but they also were the same for all faculty and staff, by Joy Klan-nakarn Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go becomes a long trek instead of a short journey, as the Kaulig family finally steps out of the car in Florida.

Of course, there were some people who have stuck around here for 20 or more years. Naturally, we’re talking about those dedicated, loyal teachers of DHS, whose love of teaching and commitment have influenced our own way of thinking. “I chose teaching because it is the best way to work with the young people of today,” said Mrs. Josephine Howerton, who has dedicated more than 40 years to the district. This high school was one of the largest and most reputable ones in the area. Most of the teachers were raised around the area and have come back to pass onto the next generation those same high standards of achievement. These dedicated teachers were the ones who have helped to develop students into leaders of tomorrow. “I have enjoyed working here. There’s been a lot of changes and I’ve survived through all the tough times,” said Mr. Joe Hayward, who has been here since 1958. Why else would a teacher stay here at the high school for all these years? They loved to teach! They liked the people and the sense of accomplish- While in her room 307, Mrs. Darlene Miller gives a smile to one of her students as he gets the answer to one of her “tougher ” questions. (Photo by M. Grygiel) ment when they have influenced a student in some way. “There has never been a day I didn’t want to go to work. I love what I do,” said Mr. John Barker, a chemistry teacher who started in 1962. Over the years, these staff members have gained tenure, which leads to respect, and they have also gained an even greater knowledge of people themselves and of the particular area that they have been teaching for so long. Their experience and professionalism have influenced students and helped to prepare them for the world ahead, which, by the way, was one of a high school’s main goals. These staff members also included: Mr. Lewis in the Driver Ed. department (1964), Mrs. Nelms in the Library (1966), and Mr. Millikin in the Math department (1967). “I like people and I like the students, which is why I enjoy working here,” said Mrs. Helen Jenkins, the A-V secretary who started in 1964. Not only have these teachers and great staff been loyal, they have also given our school a good reputation within the area.

Woodrum) A TRUE HEART ✓ 7 “The highest function of a teacher consists not so much in imparting knowl- edge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit.” — Amiel This was exactly what John C. Sanders did. He was a husband, a father of three, a grandfather of three, a friend to countless numbers, and a teacher of thousands. A man, who in every aspect of his life, used the moment to learn a little more and love a little more by touching the very essence of his existence — people. His love was his teaching. Mr. Sanders taught English for over 30 years. He was an adviser for various clubs during that time and finally became the English Department Head at DHS. At this position, Mr. Sanders taught the Humanities classes open to Seniors, his most well known and loved class. To explain why in the first semester he taught Shakespeare, John Donne, Robert Penn Warren, and John Milton to name a few. Students didn’t only read the material and get tested over it; Mr. Sanders taught his students the art, the love, the truth, and the depth in literature — his students lived it. In the second semester, classes were taught a bit differently. His students were taught art, love, truth, and depth but this time they didn’t come from authors, but from the students themselves. He opened the door into which students could find pieces of themselves At the party given in honor of him, Mr. Sanders lives it up as he shares his joy with a local disc jockey. “Uncle Bob Taylor” at the Ramada Inn where the celebration was held. (Photo by J. Grygiel) and of the world and would discuss how they fit together. Topics from moral issues to personal problems were discussed. The reason behind this well-known and well-loved class was Mr. Sander’s love and compassion for his profession and his students. Mr. Sanders was involved with Danville High School in other ways also. He continued to be an announcer for various athletic activities after his retirement and while at DHS. Along with his school functions, he was a very active supporter of the United Way. Mr. Sanders was above all a noted scholar throughout the United States. He was recognized by the state of Illinois as teacher of the year. But his greatest recognition and a long awaited dream came in the spring of 1986 when he received a Fulbright Scholarship to Israel. He enjoyed six weeks in Israel learning about the country as well as its unique effect on humanity today. John C. Sanders graduated with the class of 1986 from his teaching career. His love of life and knowledge, however, lives in every student he taught, every educator he worked with, and every person he touches as he continues writing and speaking today. We thank you, Mr. Sanders, for your time, your friendship, and your love, by Sally A. Grimshaw SANDERS 189 ALL of FACTS w ho’s that teacher? Oh, that’s Mrs. Shunick. She’s one of the twelve new teachers at DHS. I think she teaches P.E. Really. I wanted to ask you! Do you know anyone who would be interested in tutoring me in Spanish? No, not that I can think of. But, why don’t you check in the guidance office. They might know of someone. That’s a good idea. I asked Beth, but she was too busy cadet teaching. Yeah, I’ve heard about that cadet teaching. They say it’s a lot of fun. You get to go to grade schools and teach little kids. Listen, do you know anyone who is taking the new Micro-Computer Application class? No, why? Well, It sounds interesting, and I just wanted to know some more about it. If I hear anything about it, I’ll let you know. Well, I gotta go. I have a term paper due in Psychology, and I need to get ‘All Of The Facts’! 190 ACADEMICS DIVIDER ACADEMICS DIVIDER 191 TAKE FIVE A DEFINITE EXTRA WORK As if homework throughout the School year wasn’t enough, some students either forcefully or willingly subjected themselves to a summer of work — summer school. This meant getting up to the sound of an early alarm and making the trip to the high school for their class. “I took U.S. History in summer school so I could take an extra course during the year and because the atmosphere was much more relaxed,” said junior Stephanie Madsen. Meanwhile, other students saw the summer as an opportunity to take Driver’s Education if their schedules didn’t allow for it during the year. ‘‘I didn’t like the fact about getting up early to get to Driver’s Ed in the summer, but I was glad that I finally got it out of the way so I could get my license,” said junior Angel McKinney. Other students took summer P.E. which was always a favorite class. ‘‘I enjoyed summer P.E. because it gave me a chance to meet a lot of new people. It also allowed me to take an extra class during the year,” said freshman Doug Matayo. So when the alarm rang at 5:30 am in the summer for summer school, it may have been fun for some, but just a necessity for others, by Ange-lia Matayo PLUS During the computer portion of the study course, Mrs. Connie Smith points out an important piece of information about the Civil War to Senior Stacey Weller. (Photo by J. Rottmann) ‘‘Hey, Ray! How did you do on the ACT?” ‘‘Oh, hi Ann! I did O.K. How about you?” ‘‘I think I did pretty well.” ‘‘Do you think the study course helped?” “Yes, it definitely helped!” That’s a question the Seniors found a definite answer to after taking the ACT. The ACT Study course was designed to help prepare students for the actual test. When students were aked if the study course was worth taking, they almost always said yes. “I really appreciated the study course because it made it possible for me to get a better grip on the material and understand it,” said Senior Sean Hurst. Students also had definite opinions about which part of the course was most valuable to them. Most Seniors thought the computer part was the most helpful. Others thought the lecture portion was better. No matter which part was the best, the study course worked. “The computer portion of the course was the most valuable to me. It helped me get a better understanding of what the test was going to be like,” said Senior Heather Grisham. Many students said if they could take the test over again, they would. They felt they would have done much better if they had had a second chance. A few students thought the course didn’t help, but overall the same verdict was reached — the study course was a success. by Kelly Miller_____________ 192 MINI MAG ABOVE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE “So, have you heard? Did you get accepted or not?” “Yes! I couldn’t believe it! I got accepted to go to Girls State! 1 leave for Eastern Illinois University in about two weeks!’’ Everyone who was accepted to go to Boys or Girls State was very excited about going. “Boys State was an extraordinary experience in how the government works. I mastered the virtues of political blackmail. Several important state officials gave speeches and seminars, including Governor Thompson and Comptroller Burris. I also learned the invaluable art of parliamentary procedure. All in all, Boys State was the opportunity of a lifetime,’’ said Senior Pat Nagle. Being at Boys or Girls State was just like being a real government official. It acquainted teenagers with how our government actually works. “It was really weird being somewhere in which being a Nation l Merit Scholar and a Student Council President made a person average. I met a lot of people who are headed for the top,’’ said Senior Doug Toole. Boys and Girls State were highly recommended by all who went. They considered it to be an experience well worth the time. “I would recommend Girls State to everyone just for the experience of filling out the application. It is such a plus to have ‘Girls State’ on a job application. Everyone should try for it,’’ said Senior Megan Stewart. “Well, how did you like Boys State.’’ “I loved it!” by Karen Lindsay “Girls State was a wonderful experience. I got the chance to actively participate in a government re-enactment. I also met lots of super people. We all became very close 9 — Senior Amy Serfoss A VERA GE Most of them were the type of people who held down a job, had good attendance, and a terrific personality. That described our six valedictorians. They were the dedicated overachievers. Why couldn’t everyone have been a valedictorian? Probably because it called for a tremendous amount of time. “It takes a lot of hard work and many hours of studying,” said Senior Heather Grisham Most people weren’t ready to give up time out of their ever-growing social life for studying. It was a challenge for the ones who achieved it. “It took a lot of determination. It wasn’t easy,” said Senior Mike Dobbles. The valedictorians for the class of ’87 were Mike Dobbles, Heather Grisham, Cindy Marsh, Amy Serfoss, Tony Stout, and Jenni Williams. These were the achievers who strived for it all and got it. “Studying is important but so is enjoying your high school years,” said Senior Jean Williams. by Susan Cunningham During her 3rd hour Analysis class.

It’s a pretty boring class in which even the “intellectual” students have to tape their eyelids to their foreheads so they don’t fall asleep! Actually, they’re a little bit more than that. Required clases are those things that you have to fit into your schedule and have to pass in order to graduate. Most required classes weren’t really that bad. At least one was required of a student to take each year. Freshmen had to take Social Science 1-2. “I thought Social Science was a really enjoyable class and I would have taken it even if it hadn’t been required,” said junior Bill Millikin. Some required classes were taught in order to give a basic introduction to an area that will be really big in the future and everyone will at least have to know a little about at one time or another, for example, computers. “A lot of jobs now involve com- puters, and many more will involve them in the future. Computer Literacy gives a basic introduction to them,” said junior Mary Montgerard. In one’s junior year, United States History was required. Although one probably already knew a lot of the material, more became known of our homeland’s history through this class. “In U.S. History, we learned more about our country and how it was started. Mr. Tamime made the class a lot of fun and really interesting,” said junior Susan Warfel. As one entered his or her Senior year, he realized that there was only one more required class left to take — Government. “In Government, you basically know everything before you take it, but Mr. Bell makes it seem like the class is not a total waste of time,” said Senior Tony Stout. Most students agreed that required classes weren’t too terrible if they were fun. by Shannan Allhands Great events make great men. 5 5 — U.S. History teacher: Mr. Harith Tamimie While junior Mark Jackson takes his extra time to catch up on his sleep, Juniors Rick Schendel and Bill Graham use the time to ask their U.S. History teacher, Mr. Tamimie, a question about a puzzling homework problem.

Darby) 196 SPECIAL PROJECTS TAKING A BREAK Many teachers at Danville High School recognized the fact that regular class-work can seem dry and uninteresting to some students. In order to liven up the classrooms, many teachers created new ideas to help teach the material. Miss Parish’s senior Government classes spent a month rehearsing for a mock trial. The classes were required to follow regular trial procedures, and presented their cases to real judges. Students were assigned different roles, some as lawyers and some as witnesses. After practicing and learning their parts with the help of local Danville lawyers, some classes were able to take the trial to competition. “It was definitely a learning experience. The whole project made me appreciate the job that lawyers do,’’ said Senior Holly Grisham. Mr. Harith Tamimie’s U.S. History classes also presented a mock trial. Theirs was on the conviction of John Travis, a war hero from the Alamo. They also played the games Jeopardy and Sale of the Semester, modeled after Sale of the Century. “The trials we did turned out to be a lot of fun. We could actually see how one was laid out, and it really became an exciting assignment,” said junior Shannon Allhands. Mrs. Kaulig’s Spanish 7-8 classes created their own games, completely in Spanish, for a grade. “The games we made turned out great! It was so much fun to put a game together in Spanish,” said junior Roxy Jones. After all the games were completed, everyone played each other’s games. Some of Mrs. Kaulig’s Spanish classes also made pinatas. “School can sometimes get so monotonous. A break from the usual routine helps a lot and puts fun back into the class,” said Senior Angi Amerson. Participating in activities that were a little different gave students a needed break from the typical book work. It also made class more interesting when a student realized that the teacher did know to try something new. by Kelly Hunt Physical fitness can be fun, as sophomores Dana Tucker and Mike Thompson demonstate during a special trip to the Four Seasons for their Health class.

Of course, homework was necessary for learning, but was there any way to alleviate the boredom of this unpleasant task? Many students found that their selection of classes helped make their assignments, and their overall day at school, more interesting. Although underclassmen took almost all required courses, the few electives they were able to take made their schoolday more bearable. They could decide to take such classes as Spanish, Art, or Design. “I took Spanish and Band my freshman year. I was interested in music, and I knew I would need four years of a foreign language to get into college. Spanish was interesting and Band was a nice break from my routine classes,” recalled sophomore Jennifer Romine. At each grade level, there was a certain number of elective classes one could take. Seniors had the largest choices, and their choice of classes often showed their career interests. Even if they weren’t sure of their career plans, taking certain classes could help them get into the college field they wanted. ‘‘I’m not sure what I want to do after college, but I know that the classes I take now are important. I’m taking Chemistry this year, because colleges will look a lot at the science and math classes I’ve taken. I am also in Band, because I will hopefully get a music scholarship and possibly play the trumpet after college,” said junior Brad Clem. Many students took very “career-specialized” classes, such as T.V. Broadcasting. These classes were taken just as something fun and different to do, or because the student was very interested in that subject as a career. “I’m very interested in T.V. Broadcasting. I even gave up being in Symphonic I to be in it. I’m not sure if I will ever do anything with it career-wise, but I’m glad I will at least get experience in a field not many other students get the chance to study,” said Senior Tricia Elliott. “I don’t know if I’ll ever use the things I’m learning in welding, but at least I’ll have a skill not many other people have,” agreed junior Keith Souza. Whatever the reason for which class they had taken, students agreed that elective classes helped stop the boredom of an ordinary day, and also provided the skills needed for college classes or other jobs they might choose in the future. by Jeannie Bieritz If both of us always agree, then one of us is not needed? — Physiology teacher: Mr. Steve Birky Getting into the music.

Darby) Today I want you to go hand these papers out and then go to Mr. Bell’s room and ask him to sign this. Then, you need to grade these, and as soon as you get that done, you can do just about anything you want.” To many student helpers, this dialogue became a daily ritual. Some days, teachers never gave a student time to sit down, let alone breathe. On others, he could run around the hallways, throw spit balls at other students and not get caught, or if there was nothing else to do, just stare at the classroom walls. ‘‘Being a student helper is much better than having to sit in study hall. I enjoy being trusted enough to have the responsibility of helping a teacher,” said Senior Ruth Burke. There were many advantages to being a student helper. Sometimes, the hour could be used as a study hall or even as a free hour to go to the library to get some peace and quiet. � “Being a student helper gives me a chance to meet some of the freshmen I would otherwise not meet, and I also get to learn a little about the class I’m helping in,” said sophomore Julie Troxel. One of the biggest reasons for becoming a student helper was because of the extra responsibility that he was given by a teacher. “I’m a student helper by choice and because I enjoy being one. I like the responsibility teachers give me and the seniority over the underclassmen in that hour,” said Senior Beth Martin. However, some students became helpers for an entirely different reason. They did it in order to help a teacher do a better job. “I’m a student helper so that the teacher can do more important things and have more time for his students,” said Senior Sean Hurst. For no matter what reason, being a student helper became a well-deserved break from one’s usual daily routine, by Joy Klannukarn HELPING HANDS 200 STUDENT HELPERS During her eighth hour in the Guidance Office, Senior Gina Ave takes some free time to do a little homework.

Hand) STUDENT HELPERS ALL KINDS OF EXPERIENCE Horticulture, office procedures, business law, accounting, social service, and foods were not the image instilled in one’s mind when the word “V0-TEC” was mentioned. However, these courses were a major portion of the VOTEC program. “Horticulture — I bet you don't even know what it is. We work with plants and their arrangements. I really like plants and enjoy the course; it’s my second year in it. My favorite part of the class is arranging, and this year we’re working on pieces for a Christmas show.” said Senior Tracey Murphy. Many courses, such as horticulture, were unfamiliar to most; therefore, they weren’t extremely popular or well understood. “I’m taking social service, and it’s my second year. I love working with the little kids in the lab. I plan to go into this as a career,” replied Senior Ruth Robertson. Career training was a major rea- son students enrolled in VOTEC. Many courses proved to be helpful in preparing people for their future careers. “I like office procedures. It’s interesting, and I like the new experiences I get from working with the computers,” said Senior Catrena Martin. New experiences which otherwise would have been unavailable to students were offered through this job-training program. “I’m in foods. I don’t plan a career in this, and sometimes I don’t like the class, but I like to cook a lot,” replied Senior Susan Kulpa. Taking a course because a student was particularly interested in an area like cooking was reason enough for some to go to VOTEC. Although courses that some people may not associate with VOTEC were not too popular, many students enrolled in them anyway for that special “hands-on experience” in a chosen field, by Michele Mekel s As Senior Tracy Allison takes her temperature in their Nursing class.

These words often brought terror and dread to the hearts of all types of students. Research papers. These words also brought a manic depression to the parents of students who had been assigned a research paper. All involved realized the amount of work needed to be done. Of course, the majority of students thought that research papers were idiotic, boring, and everything but useful. “I think research papers are useless! The topic you are trying to prove has already been proven by a thousand other people,” said junior Bill Vance. Unlike the majority of students, a few did believe that research papers were the opportunity of a life- time because they could get an extra grade. And often that extra grade made the difference. “In my U.S. History class, we had the chance of doing a paper on Joseph Cannon for extra credit. I thought it was interesting and doing the paper paid off because I received a good grade,” said Senior Rhonda Graham. Also, some students looked at research papers as a chance to look further into and fully examine a topic that had interested them for years. “If I had a chance to write a research paper on anything, I would write it on people. Anything to do with people, I find fascinating. The most interesting thing about people is their differences and similarities all over the world. The subjects vary from town to town, state to state, and continent to continent,” said Senior foreign exchange student Loren Wolfsohn. Other students couldn’t and wouldn’t pick a favorite paper. All they wanted was to get a good grade even if it meant spending long hours studying. “I really don’t have a favorite paper, but the one I got the best grade on was John F. Kennedy,” said junior Mark Grites. In the end, when the work was done, and the paper was turned in, some students thought it wasn’t that bad, but others thought Research papers — Terror! by Tim Grider During second hour, sophomore Ronnie Marlin scans a book for data for a future reseach paper.

Grygiel) PAPERS 205 SPECIAL STUDENTS All teachers knew the pleasure of teaching students who learn quickly and easily. Likewise, all teachers shared the frustration and anxiety associated with students who learned slowly and with great difficulty. But frustration, anxiety, depression, and anger could be replaced with joy and satisfaction for both teacher and student when learning disabilities were managed successfully. “To have a student who has repeatedly tried to complete a task and is finally able, through persistence and hard work, to understand what is being taught” was of great reward to Mrs. Josephine Howerton, specialist in administration and supervision. During “resource” (tutorial) sessions, approximately eighty students are taught pre-vocational, personal development, survival and general core curriculum skills. “Since the students are not able to learn through regular channels, the teacher has to be extra creative when presenting lessons,” said Learning Disability teacher Mrs. Joanne Allard. Whatever the student’s handicap was, it should not have kept them from advancing forward; however, a student might have crippled himself merely by a poor attitude. “To ensure that the disability is not used as a crutch, special education teachers periodically monitor a student’s progress in course-work throughout their high school years,” said Deaf Interpreter Mrs. Janice Underwood. Danville High School offers a wide range of remedial courses emphasizing knowledge and application of sound learning principles and instructional strategies to aid students who have been categorized as being LD, Learning Disability; BD, Behavior Disorder; EMH, Educable Mentally Handicapped; and Hearing Impaired Speech and Language.. “Ultimately our goal for the students is for them to become self- sufficient, productive individuals in society,” said Hearing Impaired teacher Mrs. Debbie Margrey. Devoting twenty years to the field of special education, Mrs. Howerton had seen significant changes and shifts in focus during her forty-five years of teaching. The federal government, under P.L. 94-142, had mandated that states provide special programs and services via the public school system to guarantee the handicapped equal education opportunity and educational excellence. It was a truism that students from all walks of life have encountered difficulty in learning; for, in fact, some of the world’s most distinguished people have had unusual difficulty in certain aspects of learning. Therefore, it was justifiable that we were all inadequate or handicapped in a certain ability, but through a positive attitude and desire for excellence we could overcome. by Linda Butler 206 SPECIAL NEEDS Because “togetherness ” is a vital part of life, freshmen Angie Alcorn and Kim Decker decide to sit together read their assignments.

This was a common response from students enrolled in art classes. Although the courses might have required a bit of work and creativity, many new techniques were learned by the students. ‘‘I think art is worth taking if you want to become an artist. I feel like the assignments teach you more than you think they would,” said sophomore Eddie Dietkus. Students who geared for a career in the applied arts found a niche in the art program. The program allowed those that were interested many opportunities and samplings in the field. ‘‘I’m taking art because I like to draw. It’s just a personal interest of mine,” replied junior John Howrey. Some students took art just be- cause they enjoyed it. They viewed it as an outlet for their talent. ‘‘My favorite part of art is being able to create whatever I want. To have an idea, use different media, and put it all together the way you want is a challenge. When it comes out the way you wanted it to, you know you have succeeded,” reflected Senior Jamie Brown. Being able to have used one’s imagination in coordination with one’s hands to come up with a completed work of art was also a real accomplishment. Like all successes, it gave students a feeling of pride. The art courses that were available were beneficial to many students for different reasons. Some wanted to learn new and interesting things; others took them due to career goals. Yet, no matter what the reason was, almost all students involved in these classes learned a lot and had a good time in the process.

Hand) 210 NEW CLASSES There were several classes new to the Danville High School curriculum this year. Among them were the MATS classes, World Literature, Micro computer Applications, and four bands as opposed to two bands plus Freshman Band. The MATS (Motivating Academically Talented Students) classes were brought to the High School with the freshmen. MATS classes at the High School were different from the grade schools and the junior highs because one could choose one or more particular areas on which to concentrate. The four areas that the MATS program covered were math, English, science, and social studies. Many freshmen agreed that the MATS classes were helpful. “The program has a lot of positive aspects. I like having the chance to work at my own pace,” said freshman Eric Appleby. The World Literature classes were started to replace the senior Humanities class. When Mr. John Sanders retired from the High School in 1986, none of the other English teachers felt that they would be able to replace Mr. Sanders. Finally, Mrs. Garnet Nixon agreed to teach a senior class to be entitled World Literature. “I thought it would be neat to be with the kids I had in British Literature. I’ve worked harder this year than ever before, but no one will ever replace Mr. Sanders,” said Mrs. Nixon. To most Seniors, it was a disappointment to learn that Mr. Sanders would not be teaching them, but Mrs. Nixon did a very good job at giving Seniors an English class that was interesting, fun, and productive. “I think it’s an interesting class. I’m learning more about European plays and literature. It’s different,” said Senior Teresa Blanden. The Micro computer Applications class was introduced to DHS by Mrs. Mary Metzen. She wrote the curriculum and chose the textbooks. Micro-computer Applications was offered because there were no other classes beyond Computer Literacy except word processing and programming. There Concentrating on the music, musicians in Symphonic Band II rehearse a piece for the upcoming concert. (Photo by L. Zamberletti) NEW CLASSES were four classes each semester, and they were filled to capacity. “I felt that computers would be a big part of my future, so I figured I should learn something about them,” said Senior Rick Christy. In the past few years, there were three bands: Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Freshman Band. This year there were four bands: Symphonic Band I, Symphonic Band II, Concert Band I, and Concert Band II. The four bands gave the Band directors, Mr. Roger Sampson and Mr. Doug Clem, a better chance to work with students individually. Having three bands did not give the bands a good teacher to student ratio. Also, by eliminating Freshman Band, students could be placed according to their ability, not their age. The classes that were introduced to Danville High School this year added new options and dimensions to the education of Danville High’s students. By bringing new courses and new ideas to Danville High, the education students received continued to improve, by Kelly Hunt “You’ll never find nothing in a prepositional phrase.99 — English teacher: Mrs. Alayne Anderson 211 TOUGH DECISIONS Do you feel your education has suffered due to the defeat of the school referendum? Superintendent of Schools Dr. Donald Pennington is “optimistic about the future of our district we’ll make it.” Since the tax referendum “YES Campaign” with all of its support from students, faculty, and administration failed to pass in the April primary election, the school board has tightened the budget. The proposed tax referendum would have caused Danville area property owners to pay a minimal tax increase which would have aided in funding the District 118 school system. Yet because the referendum did not pass, the School Board has made “academics provide a solid program with the fund limitations and extra-curricular activities to be as self-supporting as possible,” said School Board Vice-President Dale Foster. When Pennington first accepted the superintendent position in July 1983, his main emphasis was on the instructional program, for he “wanted to improve it (the school system) at all levels and for all types of students.” He had stated that expectations and standards needed to be looked at. This goal is currently underway because one must improve the instructional program gradually as it is critical to the learning process. Even with the budget limitations, School Board President Tom Mel-len feels that our school district “adequately provides a set of dedicated teachers and fine academic learning centers” — the essential characteristics necessary in pursuit of a quality education, by Linda Butler It's time to relax as Board Member Carol Lewis meditates on the current topic of discussion at the meeting.

For most, the answers were writing notes or sleeping. Talking to other class members occupied many students, while others peacefully daydreamed. “I usually write notes or sleep in class,” said junior Mike Barnes. There were several reasons why students were inattentive in classes. A majority of them felt their teachers were at fault for their inattentiveness. ‘‘Teachers talking too much is why most of my classes are boring,” said sophomore Shelly Jeffers. Teachers who lacked enthusiasm also created boring classes for their students. “Teachers need to be more enthusiastic,” said sophomore Eric Cox. In some situations, lack of attention to the teacher was caused by class clowns. “I don’t pay attention in algebra because I start talking to the people who sit around me. I don’t get anything done when those guys are in class,” said sophomore Emily Beasly. Many students had used the class time for social gatherings. These were mostly the students who distracted classes themselves. “I’m talking about everything and everybody — catching up with the gossip and keeping up with the latest happenings,” said sophomore Earlisa Steward. Both the academically successful and failing students found that they didn’t give 100% attention at all times. “Math is the class I pay the least attention to because I understand what I’m doing. It’s also boring and I have a 99.5%,” said freshman Nicole Lee. Students realized that it took effort from both teachers and students to have an interesting and well-appreciated class, by Myra Nolan. “I am going to staple your Ups together — Spanish teacher: Mrs. Kaulig 214 CLOWNING AROUND Sleeping becomes a natural part of Senior Eric Collier s 4th hour class, as he begins to doze off instead of working on the new vocabulary list.

I can’t believe Mr. Birky gave us only four days to learn all that cellular composition junk!” “I know what you mean! I’m never going to understand any of it!” “Sometimes I think Mr. Birky has lost his mind!” Sound familiar? Students have spent centuries trying to get the hang of retaining material, and they haven’t always been successful. This was common ground for all who were challenged with sociology tests, physics tests, or whatever it turned out to be. Students were faced with finding a clever way to remember what it was the teacher was trying to get through. “I study most efficiently sitting on the floor with all my books and papers piled around me, and the phone in the middle of everything,” said Senior Joyce Wolfinbarger. Study habits were basically the same among most students. However, there were some strange and interesting variations. No matter how a person studied, the object was to get the most out of the time he had to study. “I usually study with Tubby, my stuffed pot belly bear. I lay on the floor on my stomach with my books spread around me and Tubby in the middle,” said sophomore Cindy Miller. Even if the method was common or unusual, everyone had the same goal — to get the better grade. “I study best on my bed with my feet propped up on my pillows and my Walkman on,” said junior Lynn Fellows. There were many ways of studying; and, of course, some students’ study habits were stranger and more unusual than others. But, if it worked for them, then why complain? “Hey! I’ve got a great idea! Since we’re on the phone already, why don’t we study together?” “Sure, but did you hear ?” by Kelly Miller Trying to watch the television and study at the same time, freshman Susan Kennedy finds that the T.

Grygiel) GRADES 217 ADVANCED CLASSES Sitting in the classroom, thinking it’s a drag. Listening to the teacher just ain’t my bag could be heard on the radio while many teenagers readied for school. This song summed up the attitude for many students, but not for all of them. Some students liked coming to school for the most part, and advanced classes were populated by students with this attitude. Learning didn’t have to be a chore, and if a student took harder courses, he almost had to have that attitude or else he wouldn’t have taken classes that were known to have more work and harder material in them. Usually, a B student in an advanced class could get an A in a regular class. Why did students take on the responsibility by choosing the tougher courses? A major factor was the way the advanced classes worked. The teacher wanted to teach and the students wanted to learn. This kept class from getting boring and made the extra effort seem worth it. “The work is more interesting; most of the students know what’s going on, so the teacher doesn’t have to waste time explaining,” said junior Doug Byerly. The way an advanced class looked on a college transcript was taken into consideration also. “If you are really smart, it’s no problem, but if you’re just smart enough to be in there, it gets hard, because you know you could do great in the regular classes; yet your average is lower in advanced classes. It’s worth it though when colleges see what classes you took. The advanced classes will help,” said junior Jason Mitchell. Although there were those students enrolled in advanced classes who always seemed to get A’s, students who made B’s and C’s could be found too. They took hard classes and it caused their grades to lower. Why do it? When an A could come easy in a regular class, why take a harder one and get a B or C? “I took advanced classes be- cause, for one, I qualified, and for another, because I felt if I took advanced classes, I would be pushed more to do my best. My freshman and sophomore years were filled with all advanced classes, but my junior year, I took a couple of regular classes so I could put more into my other courses. The grades mean a lot, but I think the experiences of both types of classes is what matters to a college prep student,” said Senior Elizabeth A. Martin. There was a challenge in taking advanced classes and some students rose to meet that challenge. For sophomore Judy Underwood, that challenge is what makes the class worth taking. “I take advanced classes because they are more challenging.” The added effort that advanced classes demanded was not significant compared to the benefits of learning more, enjoying the class itself, having the challenging material, and preparing for college.

What about the new hockey team, the Saints. I know you’ve been to every game. Yeah, that’s true. How do you think of these things? Well, believe it or not, I think Danville is ‘Our Kind of Town’! 220 COMMUNITY DIVIDER TAKE SIX CARS ARE Danville faced the reality of a new form of government. Six black residents of Danville filed suit against the city claiming the present city council form of government did not allow equal representation for blacks. A federal judge agreed. The exact form of government has yet to be determined. “Always be honest.” That’s a familiar slogan for all businesses, especially for car dealers. “One thing all businesses have in common is to always be honest so people will want to do business with you,” said Jeff Green of Green Chevrolet. Surrounding Green Chevrolet is one of the biggest as well as best selections of cars in Danville. Any and every possible car or truck one could think of could probably be found at the spectacular, new car dealer’s lot. On an average, Green Chevrolet had about 350 cars, 90 used cars, and 90 trucks in stock. In addition, they had 75 pick-up trucks and 175 new cars. Since traffic count was very important in most businesses, Green Chevrolet moved from their old location on North Street to their new location on North Vermilion. Suddenly, Green Chevrolet found itself amidst the hustle and bustle of northern Danville. “At our old dealership, we had a traffic count of about 9,000 cars in a 24 hr. period. The traffic count on our new street now is almost 24,000 cars in a 24 hr. period, which is the best in town. More people by our door mean more car sales!” said Jeff Green. Not only would this new location help with car and truck sales, but it also was profitable in many other ways. “This new location will be more profitable. Number one, we will sell more cars. Number two, a new building is more efficient and uses less heat and electricity. Number three, people like to be surrounded by new things, so they feel better about themselves and others,” explained Jeff Green. Pleasing one’s customers was an important aspect of one’s business. Through the eyes of a customer, even the slightest little thing wrong may be magnified one thousand times. That is why it is so important for a business to have the best image possible. “The customers like this new location because it is new, clean, and easy to get to. It makes them feel they are getting their money’s worth when they see all the new equipment,” added Jeff Green. In any business, honesty was the best policy. No matter where your business was located or what you were selling, without honesty, one’s business was nothing, by Michelle Miller. A NEW ADDITION On October 20, 1986, the new Hills Plaza opened on North Vermilion. In honor of the Grand Opening of Hills department store, there were many special attractions. Including the usual prizes that were given away, the new store was visited by such stars as Miss USA, football star Gayle Sayres, and A1 Molin-aro from “Happy Days”. Local dignitaries from the city of Danville, and executives from Hills also attended the Grand Opening, j The Hills department store was a family department store. The store sold hardware, jewelry, and sports accessories for all members f the family. According to Hills general manager, Tom Wilson, even though Hills keyed in on family shopping, about 85% of their customers were female. “It was pretty exciting! They had Teddy Ruxpin. That’s all I cared about,” said Senior Heather Grisham. All the merchandise sold at Hills was marked down at a minimum of 20% of the retail price. That’s why Hills never had any sales. “The prices are reasonable, and the checkout clerks are friendly,” said junior Krys Wilson. Hills prided itself on the fact that their regular prices were lower than those sale prices in other department stores. This fact inevitably makes Hills one of the best places to shop for anyone who considers bargains an important part of their lives. “It offers everything you’d need at a lower price. It’s a real boost to the Danville The new Hills Plaza provided a needed service to the people of Danville by offering new needed jobs and affordable merchandise. area since it has provided new jobs,” said Senior Linda Butler.

Their support is tremendous.” — sophomore Ellen Nowak ‘‘Hey, are you going to the dance this weekend?” ‘‘I don’t know yet. It’s possible.” ‘‘Come on. Boober is going to be the D.J.” “Who?” ‘‘You know, Boober La-combe from WDNL.” ‘‘Really! He’s going to be there?” “Sure is!” Having Mr. Lacombe at the teen dances always drew a little extra attention to them. The teen dances slowly became a major event in Danville. Even though Lacombe wasn’t actually doing it for WDNL, it was a way for him to make a little extra money and get in on the action of the teens in town. THE TAX MAN Last year, students were faced with the fact that some of the classes they loved, the football and basketball games they went to on the weekends, and even some of the teachers they admired might not be a part of Danville High School when they returned from summer vacation. The students had to face these changes all because the tax referendum did not pass. In addition, many cuts were going to take place in the extra-curricular activities budget. Extra-curricular activities were an important part of many student’s lives. It was even one of the main reasons that they attended school. From football to com- puter club, extracurricular activities leadily found their way into the hearts of many students. “Football is very imporant to me; if it weren’t for football practices, I probably would have missed school even more than I already had,” stated junior Brad Black. Many seniors felt strongly about all of the cuts. They felt that the cuts were unfair. After having participated in extracurricular activities for three years already, many Seniors found it difficult to deal with the cuts that would affect their school lives. “I didn’t want the games to be cut mainly because being a Lacombe played D.J. for many of the dances held in Danville. Along with going to dances. WDNL also went to the new car dealerships that opened in town. “Since radio is free, we need commercials to pay for it, just like television. One way we made money was to attend grand openings at places and cover them live,” said employee at WDNL, Keith Mason. “It was a way for us to make money and a way for the place we were broadcasting to get some good publicity. People enjoyed being heard on the radio,” added Mason. When WDNL went to these activities around town, they even held personal interviews with some of the customers. “The customers liked hearing themselves live on radio. That really attracts attention and promotes business,” said Mason. Radio publication added to if not improved the grand openings that went on in Danville. It brought great publicity to the companies being opened. One thing that the customers loved was being on the radio themselves. It attracted their attention and made them want to see what was being publicized. Nevertheless, WDNL and its growing staff really perked up the ears of area listeners, by Karen Lindsay. senior, one gets to dominate during all the pep assemblies,” stated Senior Jeff Ford.

Well, another year gone; another year passed. What a relief! This year’s theme for the 1987 Medley was IT TAKES ALL KINDS. Work on this year’s publication began in late July at Ball State University with a creative staff of 11 editors trying to get things ready for a productive year. While so many ideas were thrown around, the cover was designed. Point style for all copy was Souvenir style 37 and 37i for captions. The headlines in the mini mags were Optima style 31. We even tried something new in the copy: bylines, 10 pt. style 37i. The book was 256 pages and 8V2 by 11 in size. Each section used its own print and each different. There were four major deadlines, and all were met but one. Not a bad year! We owe great thanks to Ronald Serfoss, Mr. Carlson, and Mrs. Hardy for pictures; Mr. and Mrs. Dobbles and Mrs. Williams for driving to Ball State; Mr. Butler, Tony Stout, and Mr. Martin for pictures; Mr. Bonynge for his understanding; Scott Gasche for printing in emergencies, Sally Grimshaw for copy on Mr. Sanders; Kelly Halcom for helping to alphabetize; the Commercial News for pictures; and Les Woodrum for everything! Special thanks goes to our Josten’s people, Karen Quinkert, Kathy Robertson, and Carmen. We’d also like to thank our adviser Mrs. Linda Halcom for understanding, for listening, and for making it a great year. Special thanks to the entire staff, too for putting together quite a book and for just being here this year. As we flip back through this book in the years to come, we all hope to remember all those special times of 1986 and 1987. This was definitely a year of different combinations Truly - IT TAKES ALL KINDS. INDEX 253 Throughout the 1986-87 school year, both students and faculty realized that in a school of Danville’s size “It Took All Kinds’’ of changes to keep everyone’s interest. On the academic side of change, Mrs. Ehrnwald’s health class traveled to either the YMCA or Lakeview Health and Fitness Center to learn more about their own health first hand. Close to 135 students participated in this new activity. For accelerated freshmen, a new challenge for learning arose with the adoption of the new MATS program. In its first year, the curriculum included four separate classes of biology, history, English, and geometry. Another change this year was the increased cost of driver education. Behind-the-wheel fees soared from $25 to $50. The increased costs were assessed in order to make the program self-supporting. All kinds of changes also took place in extra-curricular activities. Perhaps the biggest change came with the loss of the Maroon-n-White newspaper. In its place, Mr. Crawford chose to create a new school newsletter written by his journalism students. Unfortunately, the change which most affected students was the lack of a homecoming game. The intended foe, Mattoon, was forced to forfeit because of an extended teacher’s strike. However, the Student Council came to the rescue by holding just the parade in place of the game on Oct. 24th. A final change which affected the student body was the installation of many outside coaches and club leaders. Just a few of the organizations included Girl’s tennis, Girl’s swimming, speech club, and Theatre Guild. ■ 1 254 CLOSING For a change.

Unfortunately, 1987 also had its low points as students mourned the death of Senior Chris Rothery who died in a car accident on February 10, only one and a half months after his transfer to Danville from Schlarman. Changes in a school were inevitable, and DHS celebrated the differences with a diverse student body and faculty. That was what kept life new and exciting. Hey Chad, what are you going to do this summer? I’m not sure, Maybe I’ll go to the Bahamas or something. Right, be serious. I don’t know. Swim, play baseball — whatever Anything but study. I wish I didn’t have to study, but I have to take Government in summer school. No way, you couldn’t pay me! It won’t be so bad. Ronnie and Marcia are in there too. Boy, you guys are crazy, but I guess, “It Takes AH Kinds!” Working on the last yearbook deadline.
