■ Fairbury ■ v 1 Cropsey High School V. Fairbury, Illinois r Crier of 1969 ff Impressions of FCHS” Published by, Newsfoto Co. San Angelo, Texas As the School looms into view, whether it be the first time for a freshman or thb last for a senior, many impressions are imbedded into the student’s mind and are carried with him throughout the rest of his life. Impressions of 2 FCHS 1969 After the bell has rung, dismissing the students from another day at school, various activities take place. Schoolmates gather to lend a helping hand in the laboratory getting it ready for another class of “chemical wizards.” Happiness was finding someone to talk to while playing in the band at I.S.U. 3 Noonhour at FCHS has found the lobby crowded with students throughout the school year conversing about classes, world affairs, or the activities taking place during the weekend. The camera has captured the emotion of solemnity in the classroom and at the Student Council elections where the candidate was absorbed in the speaker and in remembering his speech. 4 Contents Fall Impressions—7 Dedication . .

The ’69 Crier staff has found such a person on the FCHA teaching staff. This yearbook is affectionately dedicated to Mr. George Fyke, coordinator of the Interrelated Cooperative Education Program. Mr. Fyke graduated from Milikin University in Decatur. He taught one year at Hartsburg-Emden before joining the FCHS staff. Since becoming a Tartar, Mr. Fyke has worked tirelessly and diligently for the students of FCHS. He has coached football, basketball, track, and golf. In addition Mr. Fyke has taught academic classes in physics and general science. Most recently he has been serving as coordinator of the I.C.E. program. Mr. Fyke’s efforts on behalf of the student have extended even further. He has served as manager of the swimming pool, he has been treasurer of the student loan fund, and he has been active in various other community and church youth activities. Although he is a busy teacher, father, and husband, Mr. Fyke always has time to lend an ear to a student, be it a problem or a “bull session.” 6 Fall Impressions Sixth AFS Student Brings a Touch of Denmark to FCHS The American Field Service Program gives students from other countries the opportunity to learn and understand how the people of the United States live. Our sixth AFS student, Steen Finsen came to Fairbury from Svendborg, Denmark. There he lived with his parents and two brothers, Lars and Tom. In Denmark, Steen attends Svendborg Statesgymnasium. Steen’s American home was with the George Fischer family. He found them very kind and understanding. Steen kept busy this past year by taking chemistry, American problems, advanced math, and English IV. He also participated in football and was the first AFS student to be awarded a letter. Other highlights of Steen’s stay included talks before various civic organizations, a two day field trip to the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois, and working part time at the Fairbury Blade. 8 Veteran Superintendent. . . After being with the Fairbury-Cropsey school district for five years, Mr. Miller has continued to serve our district with the same calm and efficient guidance. His current job as superintendent isn’t the only position of this type which he has held. Before he came to Community Unit 3 in 1964, he worked in Illiopolis, where he also served as superintendent. Through Mr. Miller’s direction our district has been able to function quite smoothly. Mr. Miller 9 . Guides Capable Board Hartzell Munz, Pres. Wendell Cooperiter Gary Elliot Superintendent Miller Dolorous Steidinger Most of us aren’t aware of the things that the Board of Education does for us. It is the competent counseling of the board that enables our school to operate smoothly. A few of their jobs include hiring new teachers, setting up school policies, and using allotted tax money on the school. 10 Mr. Charles Lane Mrs. Rapp Mrs. Scherr Experienced Principal Heads FCHS Mr. Lane, in his second year at FCHS, has kept the school running smoothly, and has had great personal interest in all the school affairs. His skilled leadership, his well-executed supervision, and his friendly counsel has made this a harmonious year for the students who have worked with him. Every year there are many unexpected changes to be made in the students’ daily schedules. This year the office staff found that there were more than usual due to the fact that our days were changed from 7 to 8 hours. This seemed to cause much confusion for nearly everyone, but with the efficient help of our school secretaries and our principal, they were soon straightened out. 11 Mr. Jerome Beyer General Business Bookkeeping, Office Practice Mr. Lawrence Curl U.S. History, Coach Students amused by teacher’s misfortune Mr. John Dittmer Agriculture Mr. Jerry Durham Speech, English II Mr. Dennis Evelsizer World History, American Problems Freshman Social Studies 12 Mrs. Margaret Fagot Home Economics Mrs. Eldena Fischer Mr. George Fyke Special Reading Co-Ordinator of I.C.E. Our Mrs. Pauline Grandon Mr. Bruce Hammitt Mrs. Roberta Herzog English IV Band, Chorus General Math, Algebra I In a few years, we at FCHS, will have a better understanding of the many sided personality of the members of our faculty. Our teaching staff, like all others, is a select group of people. They are people who show sympathy and understanding toward students who are in need of help; either scholastic or personal. It has often been through a teacher’s helpful guidance that a student has been urged to reach for higher goals. 13 Talented Faculty Provides Mr. David Jeffries Driver’s Education 14 Student teacher.

Mrs. Mary Williams Girls’ P.E. The members of the faculty found that their jobs consisted of more than just passing knowledge to their students. Besides all the effort they put forth for regular classes, they spent much time helping with various clubs and projects. With a great amount of energy and patience, they successfully met each challenge the students brought forth. Freshmen Learn High School Requirements Greg Myers, Mark Brucker, Steve Cook, Jeff Abbey. As the freshmen entered Fairbury-Cropscy High School for their first year, they found themselves confronted with a new and exciting adventure. To guide them through their first year of high school were their class officers: Greg Myers, president; Mark Brucker, vice-president; Steve Cook, secretary; and Jeff Abbey, treasurer. The Student Council Representatives were Greg Myers, Larry McClellan, Debbie Crabtree, and Vicki Curtiss.

There were high hopes riding on the football squad to revive football enthusiasm. With the return of 13 experienced seniors and a crop of promising underclassmen, opening night with arch rival Forrest promised to be exciting. It was with a 13-6 victory for FCHS! This year the Tartars boasted not only a new assistant coach, Mr. Nofftz, but they also boasted a new electric score-board and a flagpole for Lewis Field. The raising of the colors by the Boy Scout Color Guard while Tartar bandsmen played the National Anthem proved an impressive opener to pre-game activities. A great deal of credit must go to Coach Curl, and Coach Nofftz and the whole squad for rebuilding football superiority at FCHS. Action provides a moment of anxiety.

Ability and Determination Yield Outstanding Record for FCHS’ JV’s The Fresh-Soph football squad illustrated throughout the season that the tradition of excellence in football being built here at FCHS will fall into capable hands in the near future. This squad played brilliantly all season long and proved that when they take to the gridiron anything is possible. The J V Tartars applied their time, talents, and efforts to their work and finished out the season with a fine 6-1 record. Offensively, they were sound at all eleven positions. Outstanding offensive blocking, power and speed in the backficld, strong passing arms, and list of sure-handed receivers were the keys to an explosive offense, as examplified in the JV Tartars 46-0 whitewash job on Mahomet-Seymore. On defense, they are equally sound and well-rounded. The defensive unit frequently gave the ball to our offense due to their sharp awareness on the field. Yes, this squad can be and will be proud to carry on the football tradition at FCHS.

Valuable Knowledge and Experience Gained Through Rookie Efforts Beginning their football careers at FCHS, the Freshmen football squad ran head on into a tough schedule. However, they proved that they can play tough hard-nosed football with the best of them. They finished the season with a record of 0-6-1. The youngest Tartar squad showed promising hopes in just about all positions, offensively and defensively, as the season progressed. The belief is strong, therefore, that with the experience and knowledge they gained on the playing field and under the guidance and direction of Mr. Beyer, that these boys will progress rapidly and fall into a fine football squad as they gain more experience and apply what they have learned.

Student Council organized a mini parade which took place before the bonfire on Thursday night. After marching from Fairbury’s water tower to the high school, the activities began. Much spirit was shown through the cheers of the Tartar fans. As a special treat, the FCHS varsity football players got up and sang. With the fire blazing wildly in the background, the President of Student Council, Rick Davis, announced the Homecoming Queen of 1968, Miss Karen Hoffman. Student Council sponsored a car smash. Everyone was given a chance to smash Farmer City. Cold weather, along with sunshine, proved to make this year’s parade a memorable one. “Tall Tales and Legends” was the theme for this year’s parade. First place was awarded to the Junior Class, second place to I.C.E., and third place to the Senior Class. Student Council sponsors first FCHS car smash K. Hoffman is announced Queen at the bonfire activities Tartars Plow Under Farmers 13-0 As the Tartar gridiron squad was flying high and breezing through their schedule with a 4-1-1 record, they returned home to face a tough Homecoming opponent, the Farmer Gty Farmers. The Tartars dedicated themselves to winning the Homecoming game for the third consecutive year at FCHS and they accomplished their task with a 13-0 blanking of the Farmers. The Tartars used a strong defense and a capable offense to compile this impressive victory and to send the loyal fans home with a feeling of pride in their hearts.

The Importance of Being Earnest ‘The Importance of Being Earnest”, a classical play written by Oscar Wilde, was presented by the junior class on the nights of November 15 and 16. Mr. David Fuller directed the play with Mr. Gerald Durham assisting. Members of the junior class sought the help of the community for various stage props such as a Victorian couch, a mahogany tea cart, a silver tea service, and many smaller items. The prop committee consisted of Susan Dowlen and Joan Goold. Mr. David Fuller Mike Pettyjohn, Kathy Stevens, Roger Norris, Charles Thomas, Marilyn Wills, Vicki Frederick, Vicky Kochi, Scott Fischer The play was concerned with a certain young man named Jack who tried to fool his lady love, Cecily, by living under the false name of Earnest. Comedy filled the air when he tried only too hard to impress Cecily, and found himself in a predicament. The truth finally comes to light at the end of the play when Earnest turns out to be Cecily’s long lost cousin. A classic superbly presented by the junior class. 31 Is Learned by the Juniors Romance blooms as Jack (C. Thomas) courts Gwendolyn (M.

The student has realized that life is a give and take relationship and not a one way situation. Friendships have been made and broken only to give the student a chance to widen his interests and show him the many different personalities of his environment. Activities such as band and poster drawing have provided the students with an opportunity to exhibit their talents to others. Finally students have found their goal in life through their subjects that they are taking such as biology. 33 High school has more to offer than just the rigid course of studies. Those four long years are often times very short for most students. The curious student who has waited to see what is in the carton has finally gotten her chance to open it. The rush to lunch to see who is going to be first in line, the ball game during Daddy-Date Night, and the art of applying make-up during a basketball game all help to relieve the tensions of the day at school. . . . and a Busy Life at FCHS Winter Impressions Lyn Suzette Steve Mary Steve Robert Abbey Baer Bazzell Bellot Bingham Bittner Sophomores Fall Into Richard Bull Diane Terry Bushman Casson Warren Cox Deborah Cook Reta Cooperider Dennis Wenger, Randy Freed, Sandy Schroeder, Debbi Perkins.

VARSITY SQUAD Lynnette Abbey Diane Kennedy Patty Flint Jayne Smith Vicky Koehl Cheerleaders Build Enthusiasm What is a cheerleader? A cheerleader is a person who leads cheers, who tries to harness the crowd’s energy and direct the enthusiasm in support of the team. A cheerleader has a great interest in sports and willingly gives much of her time to support her school’s various teams. This year the cheerleaders tried many techniques to arouse spirit among the players and fans. The Varsity cheerleaders decorated the locker rooms for every home football game by putting up dummies of the opposing team and by plastering the walls with posters, streamers, and banners. For the first time the Junior Varsity cheer- leaders showed an interest in going to the sophomore football games and made the effort to cheer at all of them. During the summer of 1968, the five members of the Varsity squad and one member of the Junior Varsity Squad attended the Cheerleading Clinic at l.S.U. for one week. They brought back many new ideas which aided them in their cheering. Cheerleading requires many hours of practicing and preparing for the various assemblies and games but this is all connected when a cheerleader assumes the responsibility. JUNIOR VARSITY SQUAD Debi Crabtree Wendy Nakamaru Reta Cooperider Beverly Kaeb Velda Hish 41 Tartar Cagers Struggle The 1968-69 basketball season proved to be a trying experience for the players, coaches, and fans of FCHS. The Tartars finished the regular season with a record of 3-15, one of the most disappointing in recent years for the Tartars’ basketball teams. The reasons for the Tartars’ downfall in loop competition were hard to pinpoint but the fact that the coaches and squad had a mere two weeks after the end of the football season to prepare their game plans undoubtedly played a major roll in our disappointing season. Another contributing factor to the Tartars’ problems was the fact that they were frequently outdistanced in height and size by their opponents. Regardless of the failure of the basketball season to live up to expectations, the Tartars’ fans remained loyal and supported their team. The season produced many exciting points as were examplified in the Tartars's rousing victory over a tough competitor in the Octavia Rockets. Now that the 1969 season is history, the Tartars can look forward to bigger and better things on the basketball court. R. Dohman outjumps opponent and gets two for the Tartars. R.

JV Tartars Post Promising 10-8 Cage Record The J V Tartars, constituted by a combination of sophomores and freshmen, battled to a respectable 10-8 cage record, which proved to be the best record achieved by any of the FCHS basketball squads during the 1968-69 season. The JV Tartars performed very impressively under the guidance of Coach Nofftz, who experienced many ups and downs in his rookie season as a basketball coach. The JV cagers received a great deal of praise and respect from many of the coaches and players of the surrounding schools whom the Tartars played. The squad was faced with such problems as lack of height and size at the offset of the season, but the Tartars overcame these difficulties with genuine desire and drive. If the JV squad maintains this fighting spirit in the future, the fans and students of FCHS can anticipate being represented by a capable and admirable basketball squad. W.

Youngest Tartars Earn 3-2 Record in First Cage Season The freshmen basketball squad found the cage action tough and the contact fierce in their first season of representing FCHS. The squad was rapidly awakened to the differences of play in grade school basketball and high school basketball. However, the squad was quick to recognize the changes and the demands they placed on them as a team and they responded to the challenge with spirit and enthusiasm. The youngest Tartars fought gallantly throughout the season and ended regular season play with a record of 3-2. The Tartars were never hesitant in responding to the demands and advice of their coach, Mr. Beyer. They demonstrated eager willingness and strong devotion in carrying on the fine basketball reputation at FCHS. Every player, student, fan, and coach of FCHS can be proud to be represented by such a well-disciplined and devoted basketball squad. foils the attempts high-arching shot Tartars Opp. Saunemin—T 35 43 Central Catholic-T 29 48 Woodland-T 50 47 Woodland—T 50 47 Forrest—T 40 36 S.

Last summer the majorettes attended a twirling camp at Purdue University in order to help them do even better performances. The FCHS majorettes marched in front of the band and helped to beautify the entire unit. The chorus has offered to anyone interested, the chance to participate in singing activities. The mixed and girls choruses participated at contest in Tuscola, Illinois this past year and received an excellent for their efforts. The chorus has also performed at school concerts and programs. The Blue Notes has offered experience for those select students in playing college quality dance band music. The Blue Notes have given area performances and have also played at FCHS school concerts.

The music department continued to play an important part in our school’s activity through Mr. I Hammitt's guidance. The musicians have participated in such events as football shows, parades, concerts, and contests. The FCHS Marching Tartars provided entertainment during football half times and not only added school spirit but acquired a fine reputation in the area. For the first time in the history of Illinois State University, a high school band performed at one of their basketball games. The Marching Tartars were proud to be the privileged ones.

Being the largest club at FCHS, the Math Club has taken a leading roll in school activities. This organization has helped send cheerleaders to summer camp, has provided funds for such school equipment as microphones and speakers, and most important of all, has sponsored a talent show for ten consecutive years. These few examples easily reveal why the Math Club is so highly respected by all those who have come in contact with it. The French Club is an organization consisting of students at FCHS who have taken at least one year of French during their high school curricula. The purpose of this club is to promote the influence of the French language in our Community. The French Club has been engaged in several school activities during the past year. Among their activities are such things as sponsoring a school soc-hop, holding a bake sale, and planning a club picnic. This club has proven to be a very commendable organization and is a valuable asset to FCHS. Front row: P. Gerber, D. Dennis, L. Erdman. 2nd row: C. Huctte, T. Casson, D. Wenger, D. Tinges, B.

The National Honor Society has recognized those high school students who have excelled in the areas of good character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Because of the Society’s high ideals and principles, election to membership by the faculty is the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a high school student. To be eligible for membership, a student must have a scholastic average of at least 4.25 for juniors and 4.0 for seniors on a 5.0 basis. These averages arc determined after five and seven semesters for juniors and seniors respectively. Their eligibility is then considered on the basis of excellence in every other field of endeavor. Fifteen students, nine seniors and six juniors, were inducted into the National Honor Society in May. The ceremony was conducted by the three previously active mcmbers-Brad Taylor, President: Beth Herzog, Vice-President: and Nancy ifft, Secretary-Treasurer. 57 Front row: M. Dawson, B.

Expansion of Student Interest One of several new clubs to come to FCHS last year was the Pep Club. The purpose of this club was to create more school spirit and to get more students interested in going to football and basketball games. As a money-making project the Pep Club held a bake sale. This money, along with club dues, was used to purchase green and gold club pins for the members. The officers were Roger Norris, President; Charles Thomas, Vice-President; Susan Dowlen, Secretary; Dave Roberts, Treasurer; and Marilyn Wills, Reporter. The sponsor was Mrs. Williams. The two new clubs which had been added to the list of extra-curricular activities at FCHS this year were the Science dub, JETS, and the Future Teachers of America. These clubs helped to give interested students a preview of careers in fields dealing with education and all areas of science. This year the JETS visited the Engineering Open House at the U. of I. where they observed experiments and projects set up by college students. This was done with an intent to interest more high school students in engineering. The FTA was also very active this year. Among their activities were the visitations to classes in both grade school and high school. These visitations were made by individual FTA members who took notes on the different methods of teaching, class response, and other factors of interest. Members of this club also visited the campus of I.S.U. where they toured different educational buildings. The officers of the JETS were as follows: Ross Ziegenhorn, President; Gerry Brandt, Vice-President; and Bob Gibson, Secretary-Treasurer. Officers for the FTA were Ann Gerber, President; Vicky Koehl, Vice-President; Sharon Crowe, Secretary; and Cathy Curtiss, Treasurer. Mr. Weigand was the sponsor of these two clubs. Front row: D.

Sudents Render The purpose of the ICE is to bring together youth with common interests so they can exchange ideas, discuss problems, and share common purposes. The ICE program has helped develop leadership abilities through participation in educational, vocational, civic, recreational, and social activities. The ICE has fostered a deep respect for the dignity of work. A student can learn while he earns. ICE has joined together students educationally, socially, and civically who have had common interests and ambitions. The program has offered prestige and recognition through a national organization—VICA, which is the Vocational Industrial dubs of America. Some of the activities that the club has sponsored have been the annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance and recreational bowling for its members. The ICE has given a needy Christmas basket to a family each year and has participated in area and state VICA meetings. 62 Necessary Services The aides and librarians have played an important part of our school by contributing their services voluntarily in aiding our staff and student body. The aides have helped to keep the school functioning by running errands and helping in the office whenever needed. The librarians have always been ready to help a student find information from the many books that arc provided in the library. The aides and librarians arc just a few people who have made up our school staff. P. Schmidt assists in office during her free hour. Front row: M. Bellot, M. Ricketts, P. Kacb, Miss Pratt, T.

There is one evening during the school year which has a special meaning to everyone who is involved with it. This is the evening of the annual prom when the junior class at FCHS serves as host to the senior class at a formal banquet and dance. Mr. Lancaster, the junior class sponsor, offered some helpful advice. C. Thomas helped out by painting a mural for the gymnasium. 71 Hard Work Along With Fun C. Thomas, S. Moser, V. Koehl, P.

They used the theme cleverly and transformed the gymnasium into a haven of Greek mythology overnight. It turned out to be a very pleasant evening for all those who attended. Upon graduation, many seniors stated that it was one of the most memorable highlights of their high school years but most juniors had similar feelings toward the occasion. Prom Demands Much From Many T. Wenger reads the senior class history, which included all four years of high school. 74 Prom is finally completed by juniors by dismantling the gym.

Teen Talent Complete First Decade The Math Club’s annual Top Teen Talent Show has become very popular with the surrounding area in the past ten years since it has come into existence. It serves as the fundamental fund-raising project for the Math dub, FCHS' largest organized club. The production requires a great deal of time, work, and organization for the members of the Math dub and their advisor, Mr. Melvin. However, the result has always been an enjoyable evening of fun and entertainment for the public. Plus the fact, that many people have revealed hidden talents which they weren’t known to possess. The Top Teen Talent Show has proven to be a big success for not only the Math dub but also for FCHS in its first ten years and everyone can anticipate continued success for the production's next ten years. Terri Wenger sings medley of songs from “Thoroughly Modern Millie” Suzy Frisby and Mary “Do Little and Sit More Lynne Mowery represent the Society.” 75 FCHS Hillbillies Celebrate at Sadie Hawkins Dance With the arrival of spring, the students of FCHS turn their thoughts to the Sadie Hawkins festivities. This annual spring dance provides all the hillbillies at FCHS with an opportunity to don their traditional “country style” attire. It is an evening of “down on the farm” entertainment where “dogpatch” belles and “country” boys gather for a night of “country-style living and fun for all. Dogpatchers D. Wharton and S. Curl enjoy dancing to some “good-ole” country music. 76 Members Of the Cast: S. Schroeder, G. Thompson, D. Crabtree, P. Flint, C. Arnold, R. Metz, S. Fischer, C. Stephens, C. Thomas, S. Curl, M.

Love Rides the Rails Following the production of the junior class play, “The Importance of Being Earnest” Mr. Fuller, the director, and Mr. Durham, his assistant director, immediately laid plans for an all-school play in the spring. After due consideration was given to several plays, they decided to perform the melodrama, “Love Rides The Rails”. This production promised to be a challenge to the cast and if performed well should provide an evening of hilarious, slapstick comedy for the audience. Students from all of the classes auditioned for rolls in the play, and the cast which was selected included representatives from all of the classes at FCHS. The cast and their directors put in many hours of hard work in preparation for the two-night performance of April 25th and 26th. Their efforts were not wasted as anyone who attended the play can testify. Everyone was rewarded with an enjoyable evening of entertainment which included a suspenseful plot full of villains. heroes, heroines, sirens and even a poor, starving widow. 77 The Widow Hopewell (M.

The finished product is a brand new cinder track for FCHS. For the past several years, the athletic department at FCHS has worked diligently toward one special goal with respect to the track and field program. This goal was to have a new cinder track constructed at FCHS. As the plans worked out, 1969 was the year in which the athletic department’s dream became a reality. Now that FCHS has constructed a new track, Tartar cindermen can look forward to playing half of their meets in the friendly confines of FCHS. This idea must have given the Tartar tracksters some added incentive because they responded by posting a 2-4 record. The Tartars, under the guidance of Coach Nofftz, performed admirably in all their meets and showed signs of vast improvement. With FCHS having a brand new track, a dedicated, talented track squad, and a loyal student body of Tartar fans, the track and field program at FCHS certainly has donned a new look.

There was little support for the team, few athletes tried out, and frequently, most of the student body didn’t even know when the team had a match. But that is past now, and gold has become one of the fastest growing sports in FCHS’ athletic program. This year Mr. Fyke, Tartar golf instructor, had a marked increase in the number of athletes trying out for the team, which was a promising indication. This year’s golf team battled to a well-earned 8-8 record, which is rather remarkable considering all their matches were played on the road. As usual, however, as athletic support for golf picked up, so did the student support. The student body responded very favorably to the increased interest in golf at FCHS and they supported the Tartar golf team faithfully. Regardless of the fact that seven seniors have graduated, golf will continue to grow and pick up support at FCHS. With this increased enthusiasm, the outlook for golf at FCHS certainly holds great promise. S. Curl practices the technique of chip-ping.

The ’69 season was expected and has proven to be a decisive year in returning ‘Tartar” baseball to a commendable status. Since there were only three seniors and one junior on the squad this year, the underclassmen were forced to shoulder a large part of the responsibility for the squad’s performance during the season. However, the youthful squad responded capably as the Tartars posted a fine 10-5 record. The Tartars were armed with four hard-throwing hurlcrs, an explosive offensive attack, and an aggressive defense, and this combination was sufficient to propel the squad to their fine record. Realizing how young the squad was this year, one can readily see that FCHS can look for ward to a bright future on the baseball diamond. S. Ricketts displays excellent form in delivering pitch to the plate. Close play at second results with Tartar baserun-ner in safe under the tag. 9 W.

Despite those time-consuming endeavors, a student sometimes finds time to lend a helping hand to a special friend or even to engage a classmate in a rousing wrestling match. However, despite these sidelights to a student’s life, he must always be prepared to return to the classroom to expand his education. Whether it be Mr. Kilgus’ lecturing on truth, beauty, and nature or any other class, the student must never lose his curiosity about his surroundings. Has Many Interesting Sidelights Students find numerous ways to relax and escape the pressure which sometimes builds up on them. Some can apply their creative ability to Homecoming floats and gain other benefits besides. Then others let off steam by becoming involved with a suspense-filled novel. But these require little physical exercise so they take on the supreme challenge, the male sector of the FCHS faculty, in a gruesome tug-of-war. As the school year neared its end, the Student Council moved into prominence. First, the Council held its annual elections, and the new President took over from his predecessor. Next, FCHS moved into the week most dreaded by the faculty and most loved by the student body—Student Council Week. This year. Student Council Week had several new attractions among which were an all-school picnic and a pie-eating contest won by Bob Alexander. After this week closed out, the Student Council found it was in need of funds. So this organization sponsored a carwash and bake sale to raise money for the 1969-70 school year. Summer Impressions in Michael Lee Russell REMEMBER Remember me when I am gone away. Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann’d: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once 1 had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. 90 —Christina Georgina Rossetti The Future Beckons to Seniors William Douglas Cook Vice-President The final year of high school has come to an end for these students. Many seniors will reminisce over such things as homecomings, proms, plays, and most of all-graduation day. As they stepped out of the doors of FCHS for the last time they opened a door to a more new and wonderful future. To the Class of 1969, we wish you luck! 91 Steve Edward Huber Treasurer David James Abbey Teresa Lynn Ahring Robert Gene Alexander ■ 92 Diane Louise Bressner Cindy Ann Brucker 93 Ann Marie Erdman Patricia Jean Fchr Thomas Lewis Ficklin Steen Finsen Donald Francis Kathy Sue Frisby Sylvia Anne Fugite Ann Marie Gerber Paul Joseph Gerber Robert Earl Gibson Karen Arline Hancock 95 Cynthia Lou Huette Gregory Alan Huettc Nancy Jean Ifft Jane Elizabeth Kaeb Darryl Gene Kloter Dixie Lawrence Barbara Lynn Leister Robert Allen Mack Greg Dale Magee David Richard McCabe Connie Lynn McClellan Leroy Edward McPherson Arlene Minnie Meister Eli Henry Meister Carol Edna Mies 97 Kathy Moser Mary Lynn Mowery Deborah Lynn Mundell Thomas Conrad Munz Maribeth Ann Norris Vicki Lynn Olmstead Diane Marie Oprondek Richard Ray Popejoy Michael Neal Runyon Marcia Lynn Smith Gary Kent Stephens Paul Edward Sutter Eric Steven Traub 99 Robert Philemon Walter Larry Ward Mary Gail Watkins Barbara May Winterland The following students were members of the Class of 1969 for whom pictures were not available: Marcy Darlene Baer, Steven Lawrence Curl, Rod Lee Fogarty, Janice Darlene Koerner, Garen Lyle Simmons, Mary Eileen (Tooley) Tammen, and Jack Vaughan. 100 Stephen Alan Ziegenhorn Graduating Class of 1969 L.

have learned numerous things about what a yearbook is supposed to be. Being only a junior these experiences have prepared me for other responsibilities that 1 will undertake in the future. A yearbook requires time and effort that only a staff member would realize and understand. Along with time and effort comes responsibility! One must have determination and will power in order to complete the task at hand. Cooperation and understanding go hand-in-hand along with the other factors, too. This year’s experience has been very valuable to me and I’m sure that 1 can speak for the rest of the staff, too. I hope this yearbook brings back memories that are good for each of you in the future years and will leave many memorable impressions . . . Patty. In Appreciation On behalf of the Crier staff, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the follow ing people that helped us produce this yearbook: Mr. Robert Mullins and the Newsfoto Publishing Co. for their kind assistance; Mr. Dennis Evelsizer, our advisor, for the many hours he has spent; Blankenberg Photographers; Mr. Dave Kilgus for the countless hours he spent taking, developing, and printing pictures; Mr. Lane for his cooperation. 112 ©NEWSFOTO PUBLISHING COMPANY n • -i H; • rv . u 'A ► t • i • ?
