Desire by Lucille Veneklasen I’d like to walk each evening Along a country lane — Sometimes to breathe the fragrance Distilled by lingering rain; Sometimes to watch a bevy Of birds soft-winging by; Sometimes to see a sunset Reflected in the sky; Sometimes to hear in quietness The whispering of trees; Sometimes to feel the sweetness Of a gentle passing breeze; And sometimes to find solace From living’s grief and pain I’d love to walk each evening Along a country lane. Country Sunshine Fairbury-Cropsey High School, Fairbury, Illinois I was raised on country sunshine Green grass beneath my feet. Running through fields of daisies Wading through the creek.

There’s something about the morning That makes each day a joy to see. And night time brings a peaceful feelin Stretched inside of me. 7 Activities Boast 7-2 Record Our football Tartars started the season on a sour note as suspensions kept several key players out of the first game at LeRoy, but the Tartars came back with an 8-0 victory. Crushing victories over Deland-Weldon and Farmer City preceded a homefield swamping of Hey worth. The Tartars traveled next to Eureka where they played in their first ever overtime game. The Tartars came away with a 20-12 victory as they bowled a touchdown in the second overtime. A heartbreaking Homecoming loss occurred when Octavia went 47 yards for a touchdown on a fourth and twelve. The Tartars stomped visiting Kewanee-Weathersfield and nipped Fisher to set up a conference showdown with Argenta. Playing with many injuries the Tartars gave it their all, but came out on the short end of a 19-12 score. Despite their many injuries, the Tartars finished the season with a very respectable 7-2 record. 10 1. Tartar backs Lew Grace. Brad Maley, and Tom Hedrick, take five. 2.

At the Thresherman’s parade, the Tartars lost one member due to asthma. While at Champaign-Central and the U. of I. a total of six members didn't march for reasons varying from sun, stroke to an injured toe. The Tartars didn’t let their absence ruin the performance. At the U. of I. competition the band placed second in their show division being beaten only by Monticello. The Tartars may have been slightly disappointed with the defeat, but they certainly had nothing to be ashamed of because the band placed fourth out of a total of fifty bands in the competition. This fourth place finish placed the Tartars above many bands from schools much bigger than F.-C. The F.C.H.S. Tartars Take the Field 16 on the parade route. 2. F.-C.’s Color Guard includes S.

After practice one night, Eliza almost lost her wig to the garbage man when it was accidentally thrown in the trash. The audience was even occupied during the intermission with refreshments that Mr. Fuller and the cast had provided. The Novem- ber 19th and 20th performances were the first occasions that the idea of refreshments had ever been used for play intermissions. 20 1.

Here they learned cheers and chants from camp instructors and other squads. Some favorites were: Boogie on Down, Boomerang, and the Funkie Chicken. Big spirit generators were the skits the girls did at pep assemblies. One won’t forget Grassgreen and the Six Dwarfs, Tommy Tartar, or Batman and Robin and the TV shows. Crepe paper and posters clung to the walls of the boys' lockerroom during football and basketball seasons. The girls spent hours after school making hall posters and posters for the band and volleyball team. They also sold shampoo to raise money for new uniforms. Mrs. Ward was sponsor again this year.

Under his guidance, the varsity fashioned a 9-14 record. Among the Tartar victories were late season wins over Fisher and Forrest, and a win against Gridley in the regional tourney. While the varsity prepared for their games in new warm-up outfits, the Fresh-Soph whipped up records of 5-14. This summer the players participated in the first Tartar basketball summer league. This program, established by Coach Kagel, gave the boys a chance to sharpen their skills while playing organized games against other towns. Lew Grace capped his career at F-C High by taking the M.V.P. award for a second time. Junior Ben Kafer was the leading rebounder and Tim Rath captured the free throw trophy.

The biggest cut was the elimination of one English position in the high school. Mrs. Cheryl Smith taught journalism and speech and sponsored the school newspaper. Whether the paper will remain active is yet to be answered. High school golf, Jr. High girls' basketball, Jr. Varsity football, and GAA were dropped. Individuals may participate in the golf conference and the district or state series on their own. Fresh and Fresh-Soph football were limited to five games. Fan buses will have to be self-supportive. The fee will vary depending upon the distance. Other cuts limit the band to three competitive showings, the Thresherman's Parade, and only four buses per activity. Book rental fees increased $5.00, and the cost of lunches was raised a nickel. Savings from cuts was estimated at $71,000. 51 1. The Industrial am shop uses this anvil. 2.

This included newspaper writing, use of the camera and darkroom, layout development, and advertising. In Journalism II, Mrs. Smith’s goal was to refine journalism skills. This meant improved writing skills, longer studies in photography, and more responsibility. This spring, the journalism students toured the Peoria Journal Star, Channel 19 News, and the Peoria Color Tech Lab. Speech I’s emphasis was on five types of speeches: information, demonstration, voice, pantomine, and persuasion. Speech II concentrated on developing proper communication skills. Both classes saw Midnight Summer's Dream, put on by the Lll. Wesleyan Drama Department. Before the play they toured the stage and were 54 1.

He feels his position as advisor is two-fold. First, he must supervise activities in the classroom, ensuring that the high school students are not short changed. Secondly, he gives guidance to the individual. Mr. Kilgus thinks of student teachers not as students, but rather as colleagues.

Juniors and Seniors with a 3.5 average or above came from study halls to play cards, enjoy a coke, or a candy bar, and sit back with friends and chat. Twice this year the lounge was closed, once for political reasons and another for complaints. In November it doubled as polling place for the mock election. Then in February the lounge was closed because of broken chairs, defaced shades and tables, excessive noise, and abuse of the pass system. Before reopening, the student council repainted the lounge green and gold, recovered the chairs, and re-established the rules. As long as the council’s disciplinary committee can resolve the lounge’s problems, it will be a permanent part of FCHS. 67 Nat’I Honor Society Visits Jumer’s One Sunday in March the two-year members of the National Honor Society dined at Jumer's Castle in Peoria. Climbing the lavish stairway, they entered the Library Dining Room and were seated by a lass with an Old World accent. After dinner they toured the lodge. Seventeen new members were inducted into the Society. The formal ceremony was held in the Lincoln Auditorium with guest speakers Dr. Jackson and Mr. Winn. In May, the Society ate dinner in a remodeled milk barn. The Conklin Players Dinner Theatre in Good-field presented an old-fashioned melodrama, Love Rides the Rails. The National Honor Society broadened their work program this year to include the H.L.S. Pavilion, Fairview Haven, the Jr. High and Westview. They played games, produced plays, taught the metric system, talked to the elderly, ran ditto machines, made milk shakes, and watched movies. Each experience was unique. 1. Two-year members.

Keeping close to reality, the seniors established voter qualifications, arranged for a polling place, and duplicated official registration papers and ballots. They hung posters endorsing candi- dates and made signs on how to marx the ballot. Voters were U.S. citizens, 14 years old, and in high school 30 days. 71 % of the student body and 24% of the staff voted.

Smith First United Methodist Church He chose to use the letters in the word Light” to represent our relationship with Jesus Christ and with other persons. L stands for Lord. He can help correlate all other noble ventures we make in life. I stands for identity. Accept that identity of who we are rather than basing our identity on what others expect us to be. G stands for grace. Grace is unearned love from God. H suggests humility. God is first, others second , and we are third. T represents truth. Truth brings fulfillment and peace of mind.

We've come a long way from scrawling 77 on the bus windows in winter. We've gained confidence in ourselves, made new friends, and started setting new goals for the future. Of all the different goals each of us has set, there is one we all should share. That is . . . to be of some use in this world, and to know the satisfaction of helping others. 100 1.

STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT SPEECH Given by Delmar Smith I have begun to grow up, and I know I can face the world because now I know the answer. Two weeks ago I met a beautiful young man named Ronnie York. In the short time he spent with my family he showed us a very special kind of love. Ronnie told my sister he wished he could graduate like us. Tonight, as you receive your diploma, I hope to God that at sometime you will come to know this special kind of love that Ronnie showed me. Peace my friends, I love you. SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT SPEECH Given by Matt Walker We’ve come a long way in twelve years. Now it’s time to go out on our own to face responsibility, to make our own beds as well as our own decisions, meet new and exciting challenges, and live life for all its worth. If we don't hitch our wagon to a star, or swing from the fence, or reach our potential to the fullest in all situations, we will be insulting all those people who have brought us along thus far. Remember that man’s goal is happiness, and that he achieves happiness when he fulfills his function. To find one's function in life is a challenge not met by many. We have already learned much, but we still have much to learn. Remember this ... he who thinks himself the happiest man really is so, but he who thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool. Ronnie York, 20. Is an emotionally disturbed student from Chicago. 101 We share our lives with others And do anything at all To help pass the time. 104 All along, it’s been a good life, and if it were ours to change, I think we’d let it be. 105 Senior Statistics Laurie Abel: Band -’’h Newspaper - 3; FH - i GAA- 1; ICE - Moult P-.3 F Jrflf Mike Anderson: Band - 1 - 2 ,J3- 4; Chorus -1-4-3 Ensernbjt - 1 -2-3-4: Newspaper -1-3; Dramatics 2,- 4 Melody Besgrove: Chorus - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4: FHA - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 fj Nancy Bonigasser Basketball - 2: Track - 1 - 2: ofieyball - 1 - V and -1 - 2 - - 4; Tartareties - Si 4.
