THEN Judy Duitsman Gronewold was a Fresh-Soph Cheerleader in 1957-58, when the Forreston High School student body moved from the grade school building to the present high school building. Mrs. Gronewold feels that probably the only real difference between cheering in the high school gym compared to the grade school gym is that you could have a larger crowd in the high school. When asked about the differences in cheerleaders now, she responded that the girls now are much better in gym- nastics and mounts. She also said when she was a cheer- leader there were fewer requirements, for example the stu- dent body chose the cheerleaders on popularity, not on skill. F.H.S. CHEERLEADERS 1978 Left to Right: K. Lewis, N. Hagemann, R. Steinhauser, D. Farley, S. DeWall, D. Watson, P. Kurschner, R. Rankin, K. Capps, A. Arshem, L. Akins, S. Smith. The varsity cheerleaders attended a four day camp spon- sored by the International Cheer- leading Foundation at Bradley Uni- versity in Peoria. Some 28 squads from Illinois and Wisconsin competed for spirit and skill awards and were judged each day in these areas. Forreston’s varsity squad received one red and two blue rib- bons and were also nominated for the most spirited squad for their performance throughout the camp. They scored high enough to be one of the top five squads chosen in final evaluation. M Advisor: Mrs. Harmon NOW Diane Watson is a senior at Forreston High School. She has been on the cheerleading squad for 3 years. Diane feels that cheering now is probably more difficult than cheering in the 50’s, because now cheerleaders not only have to be able to do gymnastics stunts, they also have to learn difficult mounts. She also feels that the kids are probably less enthusiastic than they were in the 50’s, so this puts more pressure on the cheerleaders to keep the students fired-up. 15 Uflwckuig B itA— stef)pt4tg Udatis beot Circle Counter clockwise—A.

Lewis THEN f LUCE. In 1957 the first homecoming festivities were held at Forreston High School. The queen for the events was Wilma Duitsman Akins. One of the major differences for homecoming then in comparison to now is that the homecom- ing King and Queen did not have to be a senior. The student body voted, and who ever received the most votes was chosen. Mrs. Akins was a Freshman, while the King, John Akins was a Jun- ior. When asked if she thought homecoming was los- ing its importance, she said she didn’t think so, because her own daughters, Lynn and Lori seemed to be as excited about it as she was. King Kevin and Queen Elise at the bonfire. Kevin and Elise dance to the band. A couple enjoying the dance. 22 The 1978 Homecoming Court. DittXtttuig One of the many crazy events of Homecoming week was the Fruit-pass. The winning float was built by the Freshman class. Even though the Homecoming game was played in the rain and the parade was cancelled, the Cardinals still had enough spirit to win the game. Homecoming had a new dimension, with the addi- tion of the Homecoming week events. Among the new events were the egg-toss, the fruit-pass, and the frisbie competition. NOW The queen for the 1977 Homecoming festivities was Elise Turner. Elise feels that the students these days have a lack of interest in homecoming events. As a remedy for this loss of interest, she feels that the snake dance and more activities should be added to homecoming, and to urge everyone to get involved. Elise also feels that the homecoming dance should continue to be held on Saturday night because it gives everyone a chance to dance and visit with old friends longer. 23 f-tawey Asks: klWe- :y say But, Doctor Gaffne Dawn Veta Louise.

Larry was asked it he thought the girls program received as much attention as the boys' program, and he said he thought that it did, especially in the past few years. Mary White At the present time, Mary feels that Forreston High School does Greg Groenewold In Greg's opinion FHS already offers enough sports to the stu- dent body. He feels that there are no sports that need to be added dents. But, it any spirts could be added, she would like them to be tennis and soccer, fp| the girls. Mary doesn't believe that at this ti(tre that the girls' program gets f uch attention as the boys' program. jjr to our current list of sports. Also, Greg thinks that right now the girls program receives iust as much attention as the boy's pro- gram. m m Laurie Bronkema Laurie feels that at least two or more sports should be added for ; these sports should be solftball 1 and tennis. Laurie doesn't think that the girls program receives as ' much attention as the boys, and she thinks that the boys receive new equipment where it is not really needed.

Chuck feels that in the Iasi few years the girls program has come a long way, and now, it has gained the respect, and attention of everyone at Forreston High School. Linda Book Linda feels that there are quite a few sports offered to the FHS stu- dent body, but she would like to see girls' softball added to the present list of sports. Linda thinks that the girlslprogram is lust getting a start, but she thinks that in the next few years the pro- gram should begin to get equal attention Doug Cialor In Doug's opinion, at the present time the girls' program does not receive the same amount of attention that is given to the boys' sports program Doug believes that FHS does offer enough sport programs, but he would like to see swimming and boxing added to the present list of sports. He feels that these sports would add to the quality of our program. _____ Delene Longamore Delene feels that there are enough sports offered for what time and space is allowed for them. But, she would like to see archery, softball, and tennis added to the sports program. She also believes that at the present time the girls' program doesn't receive as much attentior� as the boys program, but she thinks that in a few years it may be as important. Bob Egan Bob feels that for the size of our school, FHS doe g er quite a few sports tojhe student body. But. if arty sport could be added, he would like itTO be gymnastics.

One of the team members was Leo Korf. Mr. Korf said that cross country then was less strenuous practices than what they have now. For example, the longest race that they ran in 1958 was 1.9 miles, compared to 3 miles this year. Mr. Korf also stated that in the 50’s that there were more runners, because a young man had to partic- ipate in either football or cross-country to play bas- ketball. Mr. Korf feels that if the team continues to improve, the fan support should soon increase. 1-lcwuM Q ctUHtcJ! Coach Bennett Team members, left to right: Mgrs.

The team compiled an 8 and 4 dual meet record. Some of the highlights of the season were: finishing 2nd in a very competetive Mid- Northern Conference behind Winnebago who finished 6th in the state, winning the championship in the Forreston Invitational 3rd in the Oregon Invitational. The team was led by junior Jeff Funk who was only beaten once in a dual meet when he finished 2nd. Sophomore Mark Korf and Junior Merrill Kaney raced for the number 2 and 3 positions on the team. Junior Kerry Manus and Freshman Darrell DeWall battled for the 4th and 5th spots on the team. Freshman Dick Bennett and Sophomore Mat Strasser rounded out the team. Managers Kirk Rosembaum and Dawn Farley did a great job of taking care of the equipment and helping with the team. This years team was young, but one of the harder working teams I coached. The team and I are looking forward to next year very much. With everyone back we should have a super team. NOW Mark Korf is the son of Leo Korf, and is a sopho- more runner on our cross-country team. In Mark's opinion the long and demanding cross-country practices are quite easy. He does believe, though that cross-country today is probably much tougher and more competitive that in his father’s day. Mark also feels that the fans’ interest has not increased over the years. But, he thinks if the team continues to do as well as they have in the past, the interest will soon increase. 35 Managers Kirk Rosenbaum, and Dawn Farley.

New and inexperienced would be the best words to define the 1977 football season. New describes the two valua- ble additions to our football coaching staff. Coach Carlson and Coach Elder. Inexperienced” describes our varsity team which had only four returning starters from the previous year. After a couple of disasterous losses and some shabby play in the first four games of the season, the varsity rebounded and played excellent football in the last five games. The result was a 5 win, 4 loss season record. It is a tribute to the 1977 Cardinals that after a slow start they worked hard to improve, and ended the season by playing the best they had all year. At our other levels of competition the sophomores had a fine 7-1-1 record. A total of eight points separated them from a conference championship. The freshmen were unde- feated and ended the season at 6-0-1. Best of all, our players continued Forreston’s football tradition in 1977. Teamwork, dedication and a never give up attitude pro- duced three winning teams. Forreston’s Pride” received a test in 1977 and it passed with flying colors. 37 Bob Egan S ufwS QhcwT itolii Wcuj John Pettinger Kevin Janicke The Quarterback Sneak will be executed by Bob Egan and his front line.

With only four experi- enced upperclassmen, the wrestling cards took their lumps. Forreston did have some good individual per- formances. Bob Ortman proved the most improved wrestler as he placed 3rd in the conference tournament, and 2nd at the Mt. Morris Fresh-Soph. Invitational. Mike Drayton also did well at this tournament, finishing in 3rd place. Mark Romanowski and Randy Howald placed 4th at conference. In addition, Randy finished a fine career at Forreston with a 4th place finish at the district tourna- ment. Randy won the “Grap- pler Award for the highest point total, with a record 89 points. 40 Chuck Hill Co-Captain Tim Sullens Randy Howald Co-Captain tfy GrtjQpplM John Hill with a tie-up.

NOW Kelly Ludwig has been on the girls volleyball team for two years. She feels that since the program began in 1974 that it has come a long way. The team is more organized and the girls have more advantages now than they did before. Facilities are still limited, but they have better equipment, and equal time to practice, now. Kelly thinks that the fan support needs a little bit of improve- ment, though. She believes that there should be equal amount of support for girls, as for boys.

The format changed somewhat, as the team played each team in the conference twice, instead of having a conference tourna- ment at the end of the season. The Frosh-Soph ended up with a 6-8 record. Jodi Lynch was high scorer with 98 total points. The Varsity compiled a 5-9 record for the season. Deb Sanders was high scorer with 162 points. She also broke the record for one match by scoring 26 points against Polo. 100% MTXE, (mental toughness, extra effort) kept the girls stamina in proper principles all sea- son, during practice, and games.

Geni Schmauss was an “A” team player on the first girls volleyball team at Forreston High School. She feels that one of the main differences between the 1974 team and the 1977 team is the presence of more equipment, and having more experience. Geni felt that from the beginning that there was not enough fan support, but she hopes that inthe coming years that more people will show up to cheer on the girls. 43 Frosh-Soph Back Left—C.

A Ba ketboM 78 The girls basketball team has vastly improved this year. The girls proved that experience is a key factor in success. The Frosh-Soph team was a very strong-willed, talented group of girls. Their determination and performance gave them a seven wins and four loss record for the season. These girls showed a lot of poten- tial as a future Varsity team. The Varsity season consisted of eleven games five of which the girls dominated. They received their sixth win when the Dakota team can- celled. An overall six-five win loss record proved that we have the talent and with a little more experience we will soon be able to progress, through regionals, sectionals and onto the state finals. We will be losing four very skilled Senior players. Linda Book, Lori Funk, Wendy Duitsman, and Debra Sanders. Their knowledge and expe- rience contributed much to our success. Our outlook for next year is a very positive one. We know we can be at the top if we do our very best as a team. Together we can make it.

Varsity Basketball 1978 The 1977-78 Varsity Basketball season certainly can be regarded as a success. The pre-season polls had the Cardinals hugging the bottom of the Mid-Northern Conference—but the Forreston Roundballers showed their true Cardinal Red by finishing in the top division of the conference with an 8-6 record. Despite the starting of three inexpe- rienced underclassmen, dedication and hard work by the entire squad paid in dividends. The team was rewarded with a first place trophy in the highly competitive Forreston Holiday Tournament. Three consecutive upsets thrust the Running Red to the hotly-contested title. Other highlights of the season were the solid thrashing of the highly regarded Oregon Hawks—and the sterling per- formance over the conference champs and unde- feated Stillman Valley Cardinals. The Forreston Cagers ended their season at a very surprising 16-11. The team thanks all those who supported it through thick and thin this year —The team following was outstanding. Sorely missed from this year’s team will be seniors. Bob Egan (All-Conference, All-Holiday Tournament Team, All-Area Team), Kevin Janicke, Greg Groenewold, and Tim Brown. m THEN Jean Snapp was a member of the first girls' track team at Forreston High School. Jean feels that the girls' team has proven their capa- bilities, and they have won the respect and interest of the school and the community. Jean also feels that in comparison our sports pro- grams are far superior to those in other school districts. QVih’ T ck Back Row L-R C. Higar, T. Howard, R. Steinhauser, N. Hagerman, L. Palmer, A.

In Invitation- als the team finished 5th in a field of 23 at Leland, 6th out of 13 in the Landers-Loomis Relays at Oregon, 5th in conference and 10th in a very tough district of 20 teams. The team's win-loss record for their season of dual and triangular consisted of new school's records for Kim Dorsey in the 2 mile, setting the record at 13:40.3; Robin Stein- hauser put the 220 hurdles on the record board at :34.7; DeAnne DeWall lowered the 440 time to :64.6. The mile relay team of Mary White, Nancy Hagerman, Lori Funk and DeAnne DeWall brought the time down 4:24.4,; Lori Funk broke her own record in the 880 yd. run at 2:30.6. Dawn Wilhelms, Kallie Wichman, Kelly Ludwig, and Mary White gave Forreston girls’ track team something to be proud of at the LeLand Invitational Meet; they broke the Med- ley Relay record of 2:07.3 and set the new record at 2:05.5. To top off the season, Kim Dorsey pulled through at District with a Second in the 2 mile to give her a chance to represent Forreston in the girls’ state track meet at Charleston. The team is looking forward to another winning season next year with a lot of the strong runners returning. We will be miss- ing the talents of 6 Seniors: Lori Funk in the 880 mile relay, Kelly Ludwig in the Medley Relay and 440 relay, Mary White in the medley relay and mile relay, Wendy Duitsman in the mile and long jump, Delene Longamore in shot and discus, and Kris Meyer in the 440 yd. dash. DSlIne Long more NOW Lori Funk was a runner on the girls' track team all four years. If any event could be added to the present program, Lori would like it to be a two mile relay. Lori feels that the track team has developed greatly, since its beginning in 1974. She also feels that our sports programs are about the same as those of other school districts.

The 1978 Runnin' Red had another undefeated season in dual and triangular meets for the second straight year under the guidance of Head Coach Rich Bennett and Assistant Coaches, Dave Gesin and Dan Harmon. A few of the highlights of the season were being the first team to defeat Roc- helle and win the Ogle County meet, winning the Forreston Relays, Forreston Track Jamboree, and the Ashton Invitational, and finishing second in the Conference. The overall varsity record was 105 and 19. The F S team also had a great year by win- ning the Oregon F S Invitational, compiling an 8 and 0 record in duals and triangular meets, and a 39 and 3 record overall. Three boys qualified for the state meet. They were Junior, Merrill Kaney, in the 440 dash in which he finished 6th with a time of 50.25. Sopho- more, Craig DeWall, qualified in the High Hurdles where he finished 12th; and Junior, Jeff Funk, also qualified in the 2-mile, where he finished 17th. This team was a very enthusiastic and enjoyable group of young men to work with. The team was made up of several outstanding sophomores and juniors, plus three seniors who will be missed—hurdler and relay man, Greg Groenewold; jumper, Mike Stykel; and 880 man, Randy Howald. Several school records were broken despite the cold and rainy spring. State Qualifiers M. Kaney, C. DeWall and J. Funk talking with Coach Bennett 53 Coach Bennett THEN Karl Janicke was a baseball player at Forreston High School during his four years, here. Karl feels that more boys would go out for base- ball if it was played during the school year, rather than the sum- mer months. Karl also thinks that girls should be able to go out for baseball if they don't have their own team.

The Board of Education has always had the students best interest in mind, and the students sincerely appreciate their work. These people give of their free time to do something worthwhile for their commu- nity, and these efforts should not go unnoticed.

Paul Tobin Principal of Forreston High School Donald McMorris Guidance Counselor at Forreston High School ftwi. THEN Mrs. Mildred Capps was an English teacher at Forreston High School for many years. Mrs. Capps was highly respected, not only as a per- son, but also in her teaching methods. Mrs. Capps feels that teaching methods have changed greatly since she started teaching. She feels that classes have gotten less formal and quite permissive. She also thinks that students’ attitudes have changed. It seems to her that today students don’t seem to realize the impor- tance of an education as much as they did ear- lier. When she began teaching, students truly wanted to go to school and get an education, but now students treat school as something that they are required to go through before moving on. Weston Colbert Dean Sanders (Deano) . . Mrs. Egan t Mrs. Stykel Mrs. Daws Mrs. Funk 62 Facts FUK . . . Mrs. Fariss NOW Miss Higgins has been a Typing and Speech teacher here at Forreston High School for two years. When asked if teaching is difficult today, she said that there is only one aspect of it that really bothers her, and that is making out a daily teaching plan. She said if a teacher could just go into a classroom and teach the class without fol- lowing a set plan the job would be much easier. Also, she finds it a challenge to teach a large group of students, because she must treat each student as an individual. On the subject of students’ respect toward teacher. Miss Higgins said that for the most part, the kids are pretty respectful, but there is always an exception to every rule. 63 Mrs. Asp Mr. Harmon Mr. Carpenter Miss Ashby Mr. Ryder Mr. Carlson Mr. Bennett ENGLISHBIOLOGYSPEECHTYPINGSPANISHSH OPMATHPLANEGEOMETRYCOMPOSITIONFOO DSBANDDRAFTINGGENERALMATHCLOTHING SOCIOLOGYBOOKKEEPINGSHORTHANDGYMG ERMANPHYSICSALGEBRAHOMEECONOMICSC HEMISTRYDRIVEREDOFFICEPRACTICEAGRIC ULTUREPOLITICALSCIENCEAMERICANPROBL EMSCARPENTRYCHORUSAMERICANLITERAT UREARTPSYCHOLOGYUSHISTORY Mr. Elder 65 Mrs. Apel Mrs. Grande Mrs. Long Miss Higgins Mrs. Harmon Miss Turner Mrs. Lundin Mr. Pearson Mr. Hein Mr. Strating PiesfuHOii Pres.—D.

For example, in her high school days, they never had senior passes, because they felt that the students should spend all of their time studying.

She feels that seniors have worked hard enough for three years, and that they should be given a reward for this work. Lori thinks that underclassmen don't have as much respect for seniors, as in years before. She feels that seniors should be given a few more freedoms, since they are more mature, and able to handle the freedoms.

But as the year progressed we started to leave our mark on Forreston High School with many firsts. Among them a is our first place homecoming float, the first freshman ice cream social, and the first girls' athlet cs at FHS As we entered our sophomore year, we had much more confidence in ourselves, and our many accomplishments proved this. Again, we won first place in the homecoming float contest; we also broke all records for the sophomore magazine sales, and our Frosh-Soph football team finished first in the Mid Northern Conference. Our class continued to be record-setters in our junior year, wdh yet another first in the float contest, our first opportunity to work in concessions, and for some of us, our first prom . . . Colour My World. Then, all too soon we found ourselves on the top as The Mighty Seniors We started off the year by hpsting the homecoming dance We followed this by completely dominating the competition in ouijioliday Basketball Tourna ment. This year was also the first time in five years that the students at Forreston High School were required to take semester tests, but the tests were soon forgottei when senior passes were handed out. This was also the year for our emor trip to Florida, wmch I am sure has left many memories! And last, but not least, was our graduation For most it was a joyous occasion—for a few there were uncer tain thoughts of the future, bur for all there was a sad feeling of having to leave old friends and start- ing anew. These are our memories of the past. . . OUR THEN. OUR NOW, is the time for us to move on to bigger and better things. The yearbook staff worked extremely hard to put together this book in hopes that it would remind you of all of your Then's, and they deserve a big thank you for their work. Linda Book worked espe- cially hard, and I thank her for her dedication Of course, none of this book could have been possible without the guidance of our super advisor, Mrs. Grande, and the Camera Club, headed by Mr. Hein. Also, I would like to thank Miss Pelszynski for her help last year. In closing, I would like to say . . Follow your dreams, take one step at a tim and don't settle for less. Just continue to climb. If you stumble, don't stop and lose sight of your goals„mess on to the For only at the top can we see the whole view, can we see what we’ve done and wha|� e can do, C� n we then have the vision to seek something nefa . . press on, and follow your dreams.’lAnd, Bellrfyour Now's be wonderful.
