Eisenhower High School - Pantherama Yearbook (Decatur, IL)

This year at Eisenhower was certainly a year of re- markable events. The Iranian arms scandal rocked the country but the America's Cup was really ours again. Of course the major event that happened in the thirtieth anniversary of EHS was the teachers strike. lYes, once again in this book we are go- ing to talk about the strike. We promise that it will be short.l Perhaps too much was written about it but it was always there, rearing its ugly head. However, it was also a very handy excuse. Want a good reason for the record of the football team? Blame it on the strike. Know why Eas- ter vacation was so small? The teacher's strike. All in all, the year didn't turn out to too bad, but it sure would have been nice to have had a nice long long Easter break. lThat's all, we promisel This year has been espe- cially trying for us. Would we have made it if two editors-in- chief, Jenny Deaton and Vicki Short, weren't best friends? Probably, but it wouldn't have been as fun. ldid we just say fun? sorry, wrong adjective.l This book has been so much a part of our lives, that it's so sad to leave it behind and go off into the big world of college. llt's not hard at all, howeverl. The yearbook room is almost a second home to us, and we certainly learned more about typing than we'll ever care to know. A yearbook is more than just a collection of pictures and stories, it's a product ofa lot of hard work on the part of a few dedicated people. Especially dedicated were Stephanie Pickett, who can do just about anything, and Shelly Crist, who was always there with an encouraging word. Of course, we can't forget Debbie Anderson who became an editor with- out any previous experience. Always responsible accurate, and on time were index edi- tor John Fultz and faculty edi- tor Lisa Brown. All of the staff contributed soooo much that to list all of their conpages of the book. And since we have no desire to add any pages to the book, they'll just have to accept our very grateful thanks.

This book might never have gotten finished without the aid of our l-lerff-Jones re- presentative, Mr. Bob Don- nelly, the secretaries and cus- todians, who were always willing to help us with even the strangest request. Lastly our thanks to to our advisor, Miss Kareates, and to our friends and parents, who were always under- standing about our strange behavior around deadline time and were always there when the pressure seemed to be just a little too much. Well, it's done, and now all we have to do is write the last couple of sentences. These few pages and pictures are the product ofa year's worth of work. lt seems so little, but it's so much.
