HELLER We Dedicate Our Bicentennial “Eagle” To You Memorable Quotes from the Year of a Dedicated Principal: Except for the students, facul- ty, staff, and parents, being a Principal presents few problems. May I interrupt for this an- nouncement? We will have no pep bus this week unless all the buses are returned to us by noon Friday. I appreciate your suggestions, but I still prefer patience and under- standing to sidearms and German shepards. You came to us as a Jr. High teacher; look where you stand now. You have done many things for yourself, for your community, but more importantly for your school in attaining your goals. For these many things we would like to dedi- cate the 1975-76 Eagle to you, Mr. Heller. 3 ADMINISTRATION Supt. - -MR. ROBERT BOWEN Sec. - -MRS. MARIE WHITE Board Members: Pres. HOWARD GANTZ MARGE HUISINGA AL PERRING BILL FLOYD MIKE PERKINS DAVE GREGORY JERRY PALMER 5 To the Bicentennial Class of ' 76: This year marks the 200th anni- versary of our great nation and you, as a graduate of the Class of 1976, should be proud of your accomplish- ments as well as those of our country. I hope that you will not be satis- fied with what you have achieved in the past but will continue to set high goals for yourself in the future. The founders of this nation knew that great things were in store for people who were willing to work hard; the same remains for you. I wish each of you continued suc- cess as you leave DeLand-Weldon High School. Jerry D. Heller Principal SHIRLEY STRANGE Special note of thanks to Esther Floyd, to let her know that we appreciate all she does for us students. Always taking time to help- -no matter what she may be doing. We appreciate all you do. 6 SPEAK SOFTLY BOB SULLENDER Math PHILLIP BLAIZER: Math, Physics Sp. Senior Class GEORGE EDMAN Science Sp. Junior Class Nat. Honor Soc.

Then the Homecoming finally arrived and all the prepar- ations were made even though no one could come up with any- thing that satisfied everyone; but it was pulled off and everything went well, with a lot of thanks to the Booster Club. The Council had movies for the student body the last day be- fore Christmas Vacation. In the future the Council would like to take a trip to see a college Student Council in action in order to learn more about Student Government. John Warner Bank 13 LETTERMAN’S CLUB ROW 1: C.

Their main goal was to earn money in work projects to buy a stereo-tape sound system for the gym, locker room, and weight room or a whirl -pool for injured athletes or a panel board for the new score board. Both Mr. Kimble and Mr. Lenz were excited with the aspect of getting this new equipment because they thought it would be extremely useful. Sponsors John Kimble, John Lenz, Pres.

We also used famous quotes throughout the book which strangely enough still fit our lifestyle today. During the year we ran into trouble with a broken camera and other problems, but with the hard work put out by the staff we came through again. Special thanks to Mrs. Blackburn for all her help.

Followed by their musical Anything Goes. The spring was filled with preparation for contest and also the spring concert. Chorus ended the year by singing for the baccalaureate services. 23 BAND . . . McFeeters, Inc ATTENTION Lib. Lisa Baker, V. Pres. Gayle Gre- gory, Sec. -Treas. Lynn Kallembach, Mr. Sampson, St. Council Joe Disney, Lib. Kathy Maiden, Pres. Nancy Rey- nolds The band started off the year with long, hard practices for the marching season. This was the first year they had marched corps style, and it demanded extra effort by all the members. It was worth it in the end, though. After per- forming in Fairbury’s Christmas Parade and marching contests at the U. of I. , I. S. U. , and Champaign Central the band received many trophies, several of which were first places. Many fund raising activities were carried out by the band. This included orange and grapefruit sales, a pop bottle drive, a square dance, and a spaghetti supper. All profit from those and other projects are going toward buying badly needed new uniforms for marching band. After marching band was finished the band performed at basketball games and at win- ter and spring concerts at the school. In the end it resulted as a very good year for the band.

We scored more points than last year ' s team. We have a very gutty bunch of football players and will have brighter days in the years ahead. Confidence, desire, and dedication will take us to the top of the Sangamon Val ley Conference.

The play was mystifying but at times comical too. Everyone en- joyed themselves and the cast was somewhat relieved, but also sad that it was all over. K. Maiden, M. Reynolds, R. Twist, V. Stone, L.

Cathy was very active in our school during her stay. She participated in AFS, French Club, GAA, prompter of the senior play, and was quite active with the senior class itself. At the end of the year, she joined the seniors on their senior trip to the Ozarks. We enjoyed Cathy very much and will miss her when she leaves. We hope Cathy had a nice time here and will come back and see us. 51 ATHLETIC BANQUET HONORS Dan Gregory, Defensive Lineman, Field Roger Twist, Offensive Back Goal Percentage 52 OUTSTANDING ATHLETES 53 ANYTHING GOES This year the chorus presented another musical called Anything Goes .

Many problems arose with her life change- -making her change her wish and promising never again to complain about wanting a second chance. The director was Mr. Phillip Blazier and student directed by Gina Baker. “SECOND TIME AROUND” MUSIC, STUDENTS PROVE The Chorus and Band State Solo and Ensemble contest was held at Millikin University this year in Decatur. The Band was very successful with ten firsts, six seconds, and was the overall winner in their division for the number of firsts they received.

Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn ' t finished. You ' ll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history .

The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was hcriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1848. James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coioma. California. The lust to get rich quick ' was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery i sue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and. though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished . Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The gTeat Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country The Iron Horse, ‘ carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10. 1869 Transportation was setting the pattern for the American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys automo- biles, farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage. Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism . A World War called upon the nation •? young men to unite and fight. After the war n Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry- flourished once again. A carefree America bur- icd war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors. Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday. October 24. 1929. saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the crash, the dust bowl, and poverty healed £ .slj aMft.asJ -vfcj- RATION STAMP NQJ -3t RATION! stamp ho. 39_ JfcT RATI ONI « JKL.RATION| STAMP noJ stamp Ha 42 _ j flffy 43 J Jfs£ 2E5£3eL RATION!

The world’s energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could be replenished. Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis and ecology ’ were prominent words in the language. Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field. Television became a part of every family ' s life National events were household topics - while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um Individuals and groups were seen on the tube a they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact . Earth ' s crises spurred Americans into further pioneering.

Pv • A ITf J Daniel Boone leads pioneers through the Cumberland Gap in this THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas . America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

( •• « r Wr r,pr V ««■ tl H «t mrt . from aim! , 4 « Without realizing it, England instilled in the colonists the individual purpose and ingenuity that necessity breeds. With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper ' s 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation ' s most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800 ' s and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today ' s mechanized society.

Muirflelond by PERRY DAVIS A SON. t • « n«a a Imagine buying that acre of land you have spotted for $1.25! Or, even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn ' t the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today ' s wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800 ' s. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today ' s. Butter in 1826 was about 5C lb. in the Midwest; eggs, 3c doz.; corn t c bu., wheat, 25c bu.. and a cow could be bought for $5 . With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile. And when you reached your des- tination, you could sit down to a 5, or even 10 course meal for 25c. (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800 s could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500. A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3.50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves, quality-satisfaction guaran- teed. could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days. Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel !5CTac_.
