It’s All In the Cards ¥ ♦ ¥ ♦ ¥ 1987 RAIDORIAN Volume 39 EARLVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Union Street Earlville, IL 60518 (815)246-8361 ? Jobs and cars go hand in hand. There are as many different kinds of jobs as there are kinds of people. Today, most teens find work as dishwashers, carry-outs, bus girls, car hops, gas station attendants, and baby sitters. Sixty-nine percent of Earlville students like the work they do and most teenagers need the money to finance their cars and to save for college. To most students cars are more than a means of transportation, they're a way of life, and sometimes an irritating expense more than an enjoyable privilege. On the average, EHS students spend from $5- $ 10 a week for gas, except for those who are lucky enough to have parents who will chip in on gas money. Each car fits its owner and each has its separate qualities that make it unique, a necessity when it comes to pastimes, school, or jobs. Between trips to the gas pump. Jeff Maly services cars at Earlville Automotive. Ernie Jauch and Troy Ambler trim produce in the back room at R 6 H Supermarket. Troy is proud of the Cobra that was financed with his earnings. 2 Opening Seniors Diana Durbin and Shelly Hughes share the hood of Jams Pratt's bright red Mustang. Sam Harper waits to go cruising his 4-wheel drive pick-up. It's big. it's blue, and it's bad! Many Bolts car hops at the Pink Dip Dnve-ln, one of Earlville's favorite gathering places. Leroy McKimmey sports the newest car in the student lot, a 1986 Chevy Camaro. Opening 3 The recruiter for the Illinois National Guard explains the program to juniors Mike Hennkson. Jeff Arjes, Shayne McKean and Boh Philip. Mike, Jeff, and Boh signed up to go through haste training in the summer of '86. Patrick McIntyre pages through college catalogues in the guidance office looking for the perfect combination of aviation and accounting. Mr. Storkman checks his notes before finalizing stu- dent schedules for the second semester of classes. 4 Opening COLLEGES AREERS Thanks to the various types of information and assistance available, the process of college and career selection is becoming exciting and educational. In an effort to help students gather the necessary information, Mr. Storkman arranges meetings with admissions counselors from many Illinois colleges and universities. Students interested in a particular school make an appointment to talk with the college rep. In addition, juniors and seniors are allowed to visit the campuses of schools which interest them. Arrangements are made in ad- vance with the Guidance Counselor and with the College Admissions Office. For those in- terested in pursuing a military career, recruiters from the United States Armed Forces and from the National Guard are also scheduled for meetings. A Career Day at IVCC in March gave students the opportunity to find out about any of the fifty careers represented. Similarly, a College Night at IVCC brought together representatives from many Illinois schools and neighboring states so that students could make on-the-spot comparisons. Lisa Atherton. Pat McIntyre and Chris Stockley listen to the advantages of attending St. Ambrose College. Pat McIntyre. Dan Kelm and J.J. Bann try their hands at being grounds keepers, and decide that it definitely isn 't the career of their dreams. Transfer student Deanna Caudill leaves Mr. Storkman's office after completing her class schedule for the 1987-88 school year. Opening 5 Students needing something to do on Fri- day and Saturday nights usually find themselves working, bowling, shopping, seeing a movie, or just hanging out. If they're not at the Mall, they are probably at the drive-in, or simply cruising around. Some of the popular movies people went to see were: Platoon, Stand by Me, Crocodile Dundee, The Golden Child, and Top Gun. The familiar sounds of Billy Idol, Bon Jovi, The Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Phil Collins, and D.L. Roth were often heard blaring from many a car under the Earlville street lights on weekends. While the quieter tunes of Corey Hart, Whitney Houston, Chicago, Bruce Hornsby and the Range, and Club Nuveau couldn't be heard, we're sure they were being listened to elsewhere. Did we have to say anything about eating? Doug Simpson lain lime out from shopping to spend some time as the anode. Diana Durhin and Tim CotSmgim have fun hanging out a! IVCC. Missy Skaggs and Troy Ambler are happy about their bowling scores. Many students lake advantage of the Bowl-Away Lounge t four lanes during their free time. 6 Opening Opening 7 IT’S ALL N THE CARDS Classes______ Staff........ Sports....... Student Life .

The faculty numbered 33, plus 2 administrators, and the K-12 enrollment was 432. We were computerized and the gym boasted of new locker rooms. The sixth grade had become departmentalized and part of the Junior High. Vocal music, absent from the Junior High and High School program since 1978, was offered in the Junior High with the hopes that the program would grow and gradually move into the High School. A computer applica- tions course was added to the H igh School electives and the Junior High computer students were introduced to Logo, another computer language. Other electives in Junior High included Reading, Home Ec, and Social Developement. Sixth Graders found themselves struggling with lockers and rushing to classes during the three-minute passing period and welcoming two new teachers into their classrooms. Fifteen students attended Chemistry in Leland and four- teen were enrolled in various vocational programs at IVVC, ranging from Child Care to Graphic Arts. Mr. Storkman worked all summer getting class scheduling, report cards, absentee records, and countless other files put into the IBM computer in his office. A similar task was being done by Beth Darner, in computerizing the book- keeping system of the district, to take the place of the currently purchased ser- vice. The locker rooms were ready for use in late October and included new office space in the girls' locker room for Mrs. Mickelson. Completion of ceilings and installation of fans took place in the south wing. The school district filed its first Better Schools Accountabili- ty Report for the 1985-86 school year and the cafeteria continued to offer a popular ala cane menu. 24 Board of Education Wayne Torman Don Fiste Larry Leonard George Durbin, President Hi Mr. Avery Wilson Superintendent Mr. A1 Humpage Principal Mr. Albert Storkman Guidance Counselor Beth Darner Bookkeeper Paula Glass Secretary Maryjo Pickert Secretary Administration and Office Staff 25 This year's new teachers were: Mn Engstrom-Special Education; Miss Harben Math,Language Arts; Miss Lies-Director c Bands; Mr. McBride-Social Studies; an Mrs. Jacobson-Junior High language Arts Mrs. Marilyn Alexander-Chapter One Mrs. Julie Barganz-Home Economics Mrs. Mary Bender-English, French Mrs. Kathy Eager-Math, Eighth Grade Computers Mrs. Sherry Engstrom-Special Ed Mr. Roger Essman-Health, Drivers Ed, P.E.

Bus drivers this year, pictured, include Ginger Martin, Doug Butts, and Pat Powell. Others were Charles Farley and Dottie Cox. The cooks, headed by cafeteria manager Barb Cantlin, included Mary Sons, Doris Erikson, Shirley Maloy, Carol Denham, and Debbie Weymouth. The janitors responsible for keeping our buildings ready were Mike Bauer, Chris Fritz, and (not pictured) Rav Bergmeier. 28 Support Staff Along with all of the other extra- curricular activities, cheerleading is a popular draw among Earlville students. Cheerleaders are selected by tryouts. Six girls are picked by appointed judges, ac- cording to their loudness, enunciation, smile, and coordination. The cheerleading sponsor this year was Julie Duffin. She was in charge of the cheerleaders at every game and supervised their practices. To raise money for J.V. uniforms all of the cheerleaders sold Earlville jackets. These jackets can be seen on many EHS students at the various sporting events. The 1986-87 cheerleader showed dedica- tion and spirit all through the basketball season, be it decorating lockers, making run-throughs, or putting up victory posters after a big win. The 1987-88 squad is looking forward to cheering on the Raiders next year. Top right: Vanity cheerleader!. left to right, an lemon Satan Ridge. Pam Jonet, juniors lata Atherton, llollt Hitchint.

Raiders and Royals Match Points The E.H.S. Soccer team, fired up in hopes of once again capturing the Little Ten Conference title, started its season with a bang, blanking Streator 9-0. The Raiders were led by senior tri-captains Ty Meloy, John O'Dell, and Tim Cottingim. In their third non-conference game, the Raiders were challenged by top-ranked Rockford East. These two great powers battled to a 2-2 overtime tie. “I don't think Rockford East was expecting a tough game. They are supposed to be one of the teams to look for in the Chicago area,” said Raider Coach Roger Essmann. The Raiders then split in a trip south, beating Washington 7-0, but losing to Normal U. High 2-1. “We came out fired up against Washington, but on Saturday I think we were a little tired,” said Coach Essmann. The Raiders came back ready to play again, raising their standing in the Litde Ten Conference to 3-0 by beating Paw Paw. At the Homecoming game against Ottawa, the Raiders were out to avenge their loss from the 1985 season, and did so with a 4-2 win. That’s a good team, the best we’ve played, reported OHS Coach Bob Raudonis. Their next game brought the Raiders back to reality with a 2-1 loss to Shabbona, their only con- ference loss of the season. “We really didn’t seem up for the game,” commented Coach Essmann. In their next contest, the Litde Ten Conference Tournament, the Raiders were pitted against top-seeded Hinckley-Big Rock. At the end of regula- tion time the score stood 1-1. When neither team scored in two overtimes, it came down to a shoot-out, with an offen- sive player pitted one-on-one against the goalie from the opposing team. The Raiders made their first three goals, and Hinckley-Big Rock succeeded in its first attempt. But goalie Joe Norton saved the second Hinckley shot and the Raiders had won 4-2. For the first time ever, they held the title of Conference Tourney Champs. “Joe Norton really had a super game in goal. For a sophomore he has 32 Soccer 1 We played as a team. We're improving each time out. -Coach Essmann a lot of confidence; he played it cool in the shom out. What a job!” beamed Coach Essmann. Once again, this time in a regular conference; game, the Raiders met Hinckley-Big Rock, and battled to a 2-2 tie at the end of regulation time. The two five-minute overtimes ended with neither team scoring again. The Raiders ended conference play with wins over Leland (7-0) and Somonauk(3-0). The overall record for the year was 18-3-2, and their conference record of 7-1-1 placed the Raiders second in the Little Ten Conference. The Raiders celebrated as if they had won the state! During the Regional contest held at Earlville, the Raiders beat rival Hinckley-Big Rock in the second penalty kick shootout of the season. At the end of regulation time the score was tied 2-2, and after four scoreless overtimes, it was pitch dark. The officials huddled with coaches and goalies, who decided to Get it over with. Cars and trucks began to line the sides of the goal area in an attempt to illuminate the field. Under these bizarre conditions. Raiders Pat O'Dell, Pat McIntyre, Ty Meloy, and Lance Abens scored in the second round of the shootout. Hinckley's attempts fell one short. The Raiders had won 3-2!

Sectional Victory Not In the Cards A third shootout victory just wasn't in the cards. In sectional action at St. Charles against DeKalb, the score was even at 3-3 at the end of regulation time. In the first overtime DeKalb scored but the Raiders countered the goal in the second overtime. Neither team scored in the next two overtime periods. In the following shootout, DeKalb made all five. The Raiders missed one. The season ended. “We'd won our first two shootouts this year and just couldn't do it again. I guess if we would have won again, it would have been extra, said Coach Essman.

Playing With a Full Deck???? The IHSA Soccer Awards banquet held on November 13 at the O'Hare Starlight Inn was attended by John O'Dell, All-State Fullback; Joe Norton, All-Sectional Goalie; and Chris Stockley, All-Sectional Forward. The players' parents and Coach Roger Essmann accompanied the boys to the banquet that honored the outstanding soccer players in the 1986 season. 1 Playing the shootout with the car lights was unreal. But it was really a good feeling when we won. It's the best feeling I’ve ever had.

The EHS Boys Varsity Basketball team compiled a 12-13 record, for the 1986- 87 season. In spite of great bench depth and the tallest team Mr. Essman ever coached, the Raiders couldn’t quite end at 500. The season started on a sour note with losses to LaMoille, Aurora-Christian, and Newark. The Raiders put it together in their fourth game, beating Marseilles, 61-48. A resounding victory over Paw Paw prepared them for the holiday season, after losing to Princeton. The Raiders made a good showing in the Plano Holiday Toumment by advancing to the finals in the consolation bracket with wins over Winnebago and Serena. The highlight of the regular season was a victory over Ohio in a triple overtime, 71-66. The Raiders also chalked up their first Regional victory in five years by defeating Amboy, 49-43. Co-captains David Mann and Tim Cottingim were chosen by their team mates as most valuable players and also received Special Mention in the Little Ten Conference.

Coach Hess feels that this record is very deceiving. This was not a poor soccer team, but a young and inexperienced team. As the fifth and sixth graders continue to grow in size, strength, and skill, they are going to become a very good soccer team , commented Hess. Captains were Mark Wold and Todd Myers. Leading performers were Kevin Bomstad, who played well defensively, and Jeremy Stockley, who led the team in scoring, as a fifth grader! Ryan Hall did a great job at fullback, while Don McNeill and Jamie Martin played well at the forward posi- tions. As these kids grow and develop soccer skills, they will definitely become a good team. -Coach Hess. Top: Team members, first row: Adam Carter. Ryan Bomstad. Jeremy Stockley. Tim Martin.

Spelling Bee 95 Vocal music became pan of the junior high curriculum after an absence of nearly ten years. Students in grades six through eight were eligible to sign up for the class, though just a small nucleus chose to participate the first year. In addition to studying general music and singing the old stand-bys, the group prepared a Halloween skit, complete with make-up and costumes, for the enter- tainment of the elementary students. At Christmas time, they assisted Mrs. Seymour with the elementary students' program, as well as presenting some musical numbers. The highlight of their year was the musical, Happy, the Snowman. The fifth grade class provided choral back-up, as members of the chorus were cast in the play. In addi- tion, Tom Jenkins, Jeremy Stockley, Chris Peterson, and Adam Carter were police men in the play. Interest and participation in music is growing and the enrollment has in- creased for next year. 'Top left: The nudem: Mike Holstein. Julie KeJm, Rebecca Holstein. Dolhe Ostrem.

Eighth Grade Graduation 99 Yearbook staff learns to Shuffle pictures, layout, copy On June 30, the yearbook staff made its final shipment-the culmination of a long, work-filled year. It all began with the ad-sales campaign in October which net- ted over $2000, as staff members can- vassed businesses in Earlville and neighboring communities. Other suc- cessful fund-raisers included a baked- goods stand at the Junior Woman's Christmas Boutique and three record dances featuring the Big Hoags.'' A total of 130 copies of this year's Raidorian were sold at $15 or $17 per copy. Copy for all pages, except the ad pages, was entered into the IBM com- puter and shipped on the diskettes. Melissa Stanford compiles baseball stats before enter- ing the scoreboard into the computer. Mrs. Schrecengost explains to Given Maloy and Donna Toth one more time how to use the Techni-Cropper, while John O 'Dell reminds us that we must stick to the theme of the yearbook. Jenni Druen and Amy Sondgeroth spend part of their Christmas vacation working on the advertising pages. Pat McIntyre uses a little physical force to convince Lisa Atherton how important it is to fit the copy to the layout. Ami George, taking a break from the computer, enjoys a little chocolate with some borrowed peanut butter. 100 Yearbook FRANK POLANCICS SPORT SHOP Phone 1-815-434-5108 704-706 LaSalle Street Ottawa, Illinois 61350 HCLLYKCCD VIDEO Movie and VCR Rentals Sales and Repairs CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES!
