RAI DORIAN 1968 Earl ville High School Earl ville, Illinois For years I've wandered 'round the school; In halls and desks I'd amble; You scarce have sensed my presence though, So quietly do I ramble. My purpose is to see and hear What students do and say, Which keeps me very busy Throughout the long school day You have no need to worry though, That secrets I will tell; For though I almost burst with news, I guard your confidence well. At last has come a joyous day, And I am crowned with fame; You’ve chosen me to be your theme And given me a name. Yes, Willie the Worm will be your guide To lead you through these pages; My name will go down in history With potentates and sages. For though there'll come at last the day Our close-knit ties will sever, The years will come, the years will go, But I'll go on forever. 2 • r. v. •: ....- V’i' '' ■BH SCHOOL LIFE...................5 ADMINISTRATION AND CURRICULUM..........19 ORGANIZATIONS................37 ATHLETICS..............................51 CLASSES......................63 3 In Memoriam The class of 1968 affectionately dedicates this issue of the RAIDORIAN to the memory of Reinhold Gast, who died April 22, 1964. For nearly eight years, he was one of the outstanding members of this group. His early death was a sincere loss. Reinhold will always be remembered as a quiet, gentle boy who loved life and his school. He was not only a serious student, but also took an active part in musical groups and athletics. Whatever he did, he did well. His sense of humor and of the fitness of things endeared him to all who knew him. The members of this class will always hold him in grateful memory. 4 School Life This Elizabethan gentleman with sword and plume and ruff Recommends activities to enhance your days in school. Not only in your youth, he says, will music, drama, art Add sparkle to your daily life, But on through later years The interests that you build on now Will help you keep your cool. 5 The first bell in the morning finds E.H.S. students hurrying to their first hour classes. Inside the During the first quarter, Mr. Robert Brue, a math major at N.I.U., and Mrs. Nancy Wickert, a W.I.U. home economics major, did their practice teaching at E.H.S. 6 The community building is the site of many school and out- side functions.
