DeLand Weldon High School - Eagle Spotlight Yearbook (Weldon, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1966 volume:

1966 EAGLE The school year 1965-1966 was busy and active for DeLand- Weldon students. Classes, athletic events, dances, and meetings, all helped to round out the year that was. We have tried to pick some of the bright spots that stand out in our minds as important events in the his- tory of DeLand- Weldon Senior High School; and with this in mind, we present to you your 1966 EAGLE . DeLand- Weldon Senior High School DeLand, Illinois Table of Contents ADMINISTRATION SPORTS CLASSES ACTIVITIES FRESHMEN SOPHOMORES JUNIORS SENIORS 4 THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS mmwmmm THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS” will forever remind us of the students, faculty, and school activities brought to life on the D.W.H.S. TV SCREEN. D.W.H.S. is the channel to which we tune for the best in learn- ing, lifelong friends, entertainment, teachers, and the training for the future. So that you may never completely forget the memories of the 1965-66 school year the EAGLE has pictured for you the events that highlighted THE YEAR THAT WAS 5 Dedication In memory and recognition of six years of fine teaching at D-W, the Senior Class dedicates the ’66 Eagle to Wil- liam E. Scroggs. He gave to each student small bits of his philosophy through the quotations and poems he so often repeated. In ad- dition to teaching science, he sponsored our class during its Junior year and faithfully attended each athletic contest. This dedication is our way of expressing our gratitude and sincere appreciation for all that he has done as a teacher and friend. . . . Everyone Worked Together to Make D.W.H.S. a Better School. 7 . . . The Superintendent Strived for Higher Goals in Learning. The superintendent is the top man” in the school system. Not only does he have to coordinate four schools, but he also must gain an insight into what each school ' s needs are. Because of this need for insight, we often find Mr. Salmon at our school. At special assem- blies, he is asked to explain the administration ' s or the school board’s policy on a particular subject. Every once in a while, a teacher will find Mr. Salmon popping into his class to see how he is getting along. Here at the high school we see a lot of Mr. Sal- mon. Mr. Salmon’s secretary, Mrs. Marie White, is an indispensable help to the unit and is pictured with him. Mr. Salmon relaxes at home with his family. . . . The Principal’s Principles Were Achieved One of the busiest and most hardworking faculty members in our school is the PRINCIPAL. His job requires a lot of time, patience, and in- genuity. Mr. Prather is the man who handles the headaches and other problems that arise throughout the school year. He teaches Amer- ican Problems and Eco- nomics. Mrs. Esther Floyd, Mr. Prather’s secretary, is the most hardworking and busiest non-faculty member in our school. Principal, teacher, and ticket taker? Home at last ! . . .

In Appreciation The EAGLE staff of 1966 dedicates this year- book page to you— Mrs. Johnson for the three years you have helped the yearbook staff realize the true meaning of responsibility and accept it. We regard you not only as an understanding teacher but also as a friend who will long be remembered. And we dedicate it to you— Mr. Essig; you have been more than a teacher of social science at our school and will always be remembered as counse- lor, cupid, coach, and Chief” to many students. These two faculty members, one the tallest and one the shortest, have met eye to eye with their students in helping them gain an education. 15 The Eagles” Landed a Superb Season FIRST ROW: Doug Halcomb, Earl Persons, Dwight Gregory, Luke Conover, Dan Ferguson, Ernest Moody.

That Eagles Won As the fired -up Eagle team raced onto the field, the crowd screamed for another Homecoming victory.

Mr. Dobbs, Mr. Essig, and Wendy Brock, the var- sity’s student trainer, inspired the football team to fight and capture second place in the conference. Mr. Bader, who was in his first year as the coach of his own team, with Wendy Brock, George Wisegarver, and Jerry Brock as managers, led the varsity ball club to a winning season. Mrs. Trigg, the cheerleading sponsor, supervised the ten girls who so faithfully cheered their team on to victory at every basketball and football game. Each one of these leaders help stress the importance and bene- fit of good sportsmanship. 26 Coaches Mrs. Trigg Manager Wendy Brock, Student Trainer.

That Many New Classes 36 Working with Math can be lots of fun. In a real sense, Mathematics is the means of communications we use to show exact meanings. In the Freshman Practical Math and Algebra I classes students are taught die fun- damentals of Math. Geometry, the study of two sided figures, is taught to the Sophomores, while still more advanced subjects of Algebra II and Trigonometry are taught in the Junior and Senior classes. Seniors also study Probability, Solid Geometry, and Analytic Ge- ometry, Math serves a useful purpose while providing fun and adventure in numbers. Mathematics Social Studies History has much to teach us, both of the past and in reference to the future. The World History class rediscovers ancient history and proceeds throughout much of the twentieth century. The American History class, is concerned with America’s historical background, the first settlements, the first colonies, religion, and founders of our nation. Government and political back- ground are brought out in the American Problems class. They study the state constitution, the United States Constitution and other matters concerning America’s struggle to bring about changes in American life. The Sociology class is concerned with the problems, life, and customs of the different peoples of the world.

Moody, a teacher who was esteemed and respected by the many students he guided and inspired. God hath not promised Skies always blue. Flower-strewn pathways All our lives through God hath not promised Sun without rain, Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain. But God hath promised Strength for die day, Rest for the labor. Light for the way. Grace for the trials. Help from above, Unfailing sympathy Undying love. . . In Memoriam English and French Parlez-vous fran ais? Oui, nous parlons le francais. In the French I class, the students are taught the basic fun- damentals of both the oral and written language. The em- phasis is on laying a vocabulary and grammar foundation and on developing audio -oral skills through use of a lan- guage-tape program. Dialogues, lectures, French songs, games, and stories are just a few of the materials used. The French II class builds upon the foundation laid the pre- vious year and emphasizes reading and writing skills. Addi- tional materials, including some used in French I, are out- side readings, French newspapers, magazines, and cross word puzzles. In both classes, the students learn about the French people and their culture. English as communication whether it be listening, reading, speaking, or writing increases in importance every day. The emphasis in the Freshman class is to develop skills needed to write a paragraph, to give an elementary speech, and to learn how to listen. Literature is used to develop the other areas of communication. The Sophomore class learns the basic elements of grammar and usage in con- juction with speaking and writing. The Juniors find the study of English to be a little more advanced as they learn the grammatical techniques of writing themes and research papers. American literature is correlated with American history to show the progression of literature in our country. College preparatory English reviews the last two years of grammar and covers the historical and literary record of English literature while Business English stresses the English skills needed for the business world. While not all the classes in English emphasize the same things, they all work to develop and improve communication.

In preparing for this career D-W offers courses in Shorthand I and II, office practice, typing, bookkeeping, general busi- ness, and business English. The shorthand class set a goal of 120 words a minute for five minutes. The girls have been rewarded for their ability by earning various Gregg Awards. Shorthand II emphasizes transcription of notes into mailable copy. Typing, like shorthand, emphasizes accuracy and speed in production of perfect mailable papers. A speed- way race is set up in the typing classes and each student tries to surpass his own time as well as those of others by typing more words per minute for five minutes with only four errors. Over 35 words per minute is passing and some have typed over 60, and as accurately as 40 and 50 wpm with no errors. The aim of the bookkeeping course is to develop a desire to keep records for personal use, and to train some would-be” bookkeepers. In the class, each student acts bookkeeper for a firm. 42 This page sponsored by CASCO CLINTON AUTO SUPPLY CO. , Clinton. Science As the scientists at Cape Kennedy were working on advanced Gemini plans for outer space, Mr. Scroggs at DeLand -Weldon was teaching his general science classes the fundamentals of outer space transportation. With open ears and eager minds, the juniors in chemistry listened as they were told how two parts hydrogen combine with one part oxygen to form water. In physics these nine ’’advanced” scientists tackled the problems of heat, sound, light, magnetism and electricity, and the behavior of molecules. Next door Mr. Erickson’s biology classes were learning orders and phyla of many of the animals. They gathered insects and made a collection of the common and unusual insects of our community.

The Future Homemakers began the year well, ’’Towards New Horizons when 40 members at- tended the fall FHA rally. At this rally they par- ticipated in group discussions, general assemblies, and skits. They returned home with new ideas such as Western Round-up and Christmas caroling. The year was completed with a trip. Have you yet mastered the art of baking a cake, or sewing on a button? These are but two of the new and different tasks the Home Ec girls acquaint themselves with throughout the year. Actual training, combined with the guidance and know-how of things are the primary measure for the prospective homemakers.

G AA A new organization introduced this year was the Girls’ Athletic Association. The purpose of this club is to promote and encourage high school girls in participat- ing in a variety of sports and related activities. At the beginning of the school year, after officers, dues, and a GAA Constitution were established, the forty- three members agreed to send the newly elected officers and the club’s sponsor to Mt. Carmel for a state GAA meeting. The ideas and suggestions received at this meeting were put into practice. The club was then able to form a well-rounded weekly schedule of games and various activities. The sports and activities the girls participated in this year were: archery, girls basketball, swimming, bowling, baseball, a three-mile hike, a weiner roast, a GAA Fun Night, and a sock hop. The club also plans to send two of it ' s active members to GAA camp this summer. 60 This page sponsored by DE LAND STATE BANK, DeLand and GUCKER’S DRUG STORE, Monticello FT A This was the year that the FT A received a new sponsor. Under the guidance of Mr. Essig, these future teachers carried on their first money-making project, a swimming party. This organization’s main activity was providing an opportunity for the juniors and seniors to teach in the high school, junior high, and both elemen- tary schools. This activity gave them ’’first hand exper- ience” which may inspire them to study harder during their years of college training. Several high school kids seem to be enjoying the many and var- ied activities of all-school party sponsored by FTA for one of its activities.

Class of 66” Graduation Forty-four nervous members of the Class of ' 66 smothered in their maroon robes as they gladly accepted their diplomas and ended their student careers at DeLand- Weldon. Six brave members performed musical solos and speeches before an audience packed in the high school gymnasium. After the exercises, friends, rela- tives, and parents congratulated the proud seniors and wished them the best of luck in the future. The number ”6 has memorable meaning for forty - two members of the senior class and their four chaperons, Mr. and Mrs. Erickson, Mrs. Leischner, and Mrs. Fisher . On the 6th day of the 6th month of the 66th year at 6 o ' clock a.m., they departed for Washington, D.C. They were gone 6 days and saw many fun and mean- ingful sights of the Nation which made every bake sale and concession stand worth their work. Nation.
