Advisor SENIOR MEMBERS Tom Bauer Debbie Davidson Roberta Gold Cathy McKechan Mike Rosetto Rick Verticchio Ida Wilder JUNIOR MEMBERS Terry Cavallo Jack Chulick DeYon Finkes Mary Fritz Debbie Genitti Susie Loveless Rick Stankoven Former residents of Benld, Mr. and Mrs. John Toigo contributed a set of the Encyclopedia of World Art”, to the high school library at the close of the 1968-69 school year. They followed this by sending priceless art prints to enrich the library collection. Not long after this, Mrs. Marian Toigo passed away, In accordance with his wife’s great interest in education and her fellow man, Mr. Toigo established the Marion Toigo Memorial Fund. This fund was established to benefit the school district in its education endeavors. Along with Mr. Toigo who himself contributed many volumes from his personal library phonograph records and much time and money to more than double the size of the library’s collection, many friends, both local and world wide made contributions of materials and funds. These funds have resulted in the addition of 1,500 books, along with shelving to accommodate them, 200 art prints with cabinets, 300 classical records with a cabinet and browser, 10 study carrels equipped with electronic educational equipment such as tape recorders, previewers, film loop projectors and a stereo record player. All these have helped make our library at G.C.H.S. one of the finest in this area. During a three day open house Mr. John Toigo was present to answer questions and to view the changes which his actions had started. Mr. Toigo was and is concerned with the gap between High School and college and with the gap between the community and its education. We therefore dedicate this 1971 Gillespian to Mr. John Toigo. 3 Phyllis Claro cakes cime out from a busy day for a quiet moment.

Mr. Walter Chulick is curriculum director. It is the responsibility of these four to keep our high school — its facilities, its curriculum, its activities — working for its goal of sound education for all of its students. The secretaries at Gillespie and Benld have important jobs to do. Besides assisting the principals, they write passes, fill out forms and keep grade and attendance records. Mrs. Agnes McGrady, the unit bookkeeper, cooperates in maintaining accurate records of the business of District No. 7. Mr. Chulick fills out many forms. Mr. Orler finds that the job of superintendent brings much paper work. 14 Works Together The board of education consists of 7 members elected from District No. 7. They arc the policy makers of the school. It is their job to see that these policies are carried out. The responsibilities of making recommendations for additions and improvements to the schools under their supervision falls on these men. Charles Simcox is chairman of the board of education. Mrs. McGrady takes time off. Mr. Smith, Mr. Turcol, Mr. Licnard, Mr. Simcox, Mr. Tiburzi, Mr. Libbra, and Mr. Ochler. 16 It takes much time for Mr. Corgiat to finish all the paper work. Mrs. Bowles looks up to admit a student in the office. Nurse And Mr. Corgiat Are Important The guidance counselor plays a very important part in the school, helping students pick courses that will help them in their future. To help a student choose their academic program achievement and aptitude testing must be done. Filling this job at Gillespie is Mr. Emil Corgiat. His secretary is Miss Brownie Bowles. The nurse, Mrs. Eleanor Davies, sees that the students at Unit District No. 7 are in general good health. In addition to checking out sore throats, stomach aches, and headaches Mrs. Davies administers various tests: checking eyes, ears, and throats. Both of these are important to the students at G.C.H.S. because a student cannot function well in school if he is not healthy and happy in the courses that he has chosen. 17 Mrs. Davies checks Mike Rosetto’s eyes. English Department Gains New Staff Members Mr. Olson looks over the day’s assignment before beginning his class. Continuing to teach the basics of English grammar and literature to the freshmen at Bcnld is Mr. Arthur Olson. Mrs. Cyrelda Herrera assists him. Building on this knowledge is Miss Joyce Bartels. This year she stressed the important role that speech plays in one’s life. Mr. Fred Paul taught junior English and speech classes. He stressed the value of one’s vocabulary. Miss Carole Cavitt remains the senior English teacher. She prepares her students for college by concentrating on British literature, composition and the usual research papers. Mr. Paul relaxes momentarily before presenting his viewpoint. Miss Bartels finds listening to her students and recording grades time consuming. Miss Cavitt uses films to illustrate her lectures. Linda Secoy enjoys giving a speech for a Sophomore English class. 19 Foreign Languages At G.C.H.S Students wishing to take a course of foreign language may choose either French or Spanish. Three years of French and two years of Spanish are taught at Gillespie. The students learn essential grammar and pronunciation of their language. The teachers do not restrict their courses to the basics but add the customs of the French and Spanish people. Mr. Bert Baggiore teaches the Spanish courses, while Mrs. Betty Spencer instructs her French students. When she took a leave of absence, waiting for the birth of her baby, her former student teacher, Mrs. Johnson, took over her classes. Mrs. Johnson records grades. 20 Mrs. Spencer listens'to a student. Mr. Baggiore concentrates on a recitation. Math And Science Courses Prepare Students (Above) Doug Zanter, assisted by Mr. Sedcrwall, studies the science of electrostatics. Mr. Majzel (below) puts the daily assignment on the board. A student planning to further his education in the scientific field may enroll in a series of math and science courses. As a freshman, he may elect either general math taught by Mr. Joe Eisman or algebra I taught by Mr. Steve Majzel. At the Benld Att. Center, general science and biology are taught by Mr. Charles Korunka. During his sophomore, junior and senior years at GCHS, the student interested in science might take math courses taught by Mr. James Rolando, Mr. Robert Sederwall, and Mr. Alvin Wilkening. The courses at Gillespie range from practical math to advanced math and calculus. Mr. Rolando was assisted this year by Miss Sharon Haines, a student teacher from Blackburn College. The science students learn through classroom study and experiments. These experiments help to clarify many of the textbook chapters. They also help the student gain more insight into the fundamental scientific principles. (Below) Mr. Rolando helps Bernice Suhling with a difficult problem. 21 Mathematics Mr. Korunka keeps a careful eye on his Biology students. Mr. Ismari feeds Jokey,” the Biology class’s pet guinea pig. Nancy Leone and Patty Prcvcdcll perform interesting experiments in Advanced Biology class. Miss Haines displays her cheerful nature. Mr. Scdcrwall sets up an experiment for his Physics class. 22 And Science Mr. Eisman carefully weighs a student’s response. Mr. Wilkening explains salts and ions to his chemistry students. 23 Fine Arts Develop Talent Under the superv ision of Mrs. Deanna Yurkovich the Gillespie chorus tried a different approach this year. Fashioning themselves after the Up with People” group they sang at many school functions. Under the direction of Kenneth Kay, the band, in its several divisions, supported and inspired many activities. The Marching Miners performed in the Homecoming parade and at most of the home football games. As a pep band, they played at all of the home basketball games, sparking enthusiasm of both the team and the spectators. The art instructor at GCHS is Mr. Morrie Giaudrone. He teaches two courses of varied studies. These include drawing, painting, sculpture as well as the fundamental concepts of art and its history. Mrs. Riechow listens carefully to her music class. Patty Crane listens attentively as Rose Neff plays the Star Spangled Banner.' Mrs. Yurkovich plays the piano during the chorus’ rehearsal. 24 Mr. Giaudrone teaches form to one of his grade school students. Mr. Kenneth Kay listens carefully to a difficult passage. 25 Business Ed. Affords Career Training Business education is a very important field at GCHS, because a large percentage of our students go straight into business jobs after high school. It is also important because students learn the fundamentals of business as well as just typing and shorthand. A new course added this year is machine shorthand. It is taught by Mr. James Marcacci who also teaches typing I and record keeping. Mrs. Madeline Tenikat is the instructor for shorthand I and II, typing I, and clerical office practice. She is also the sponsor of the Blue Banner award-winning school newspaper, the Miners’ Light.” Rounding out the faculty in this department is Mrs. Kathryn Hribernik, who teaches typing I and II and bookkeeping. Thanks to their efforts, many well-qualified students from GHS find jobs in the business world. Mrs. Hribernik weighs a student’s response. Mrs. Hribernik instructs Mr. Borgini in the use of the NCR calculator. Mr. Marcacci checks the speed of his typing II students. 26 77 Social Sciences Helps GCH’ers Know Themselves Two required courses at GCHS are consumer economics and American history. They are taught by Mr. Robert Attig who also teaches sociology. In addition, he is the FTA advisor. A new member of the faculty, Mr. Robert Easton teaches American history and world history. Mr. Louis Polovich is the instructor of geography and world history. Mr. Adolph Tenikat is again the teacher for the freshmen at the Benld Attendance Center. The curriculum in the social sciences helps students learn about their heritage, why people act as they do, and how to handle money and their economic problems after graduation. Miss Mary Hull, a student from Blackburn College, assisted Mr. Attig during the second semester. Miss Hull, student teacher, gets the feel” of classroom teaching. Mr. Easton entertains a discussion of the political causes of the civil war. Mr. Attig explains the importance of a budget to his consumer economics class. Mr. Polovich finds that there arc humorous moments even in the serious study of driver safety. Mr. Tenikat pauses to answer a student’s Vocational Training Is Key To The Future Mr. Henderson instructs in the operation of the metal lathe. Mr. Gibson checks over a student’s project in wood shop. Many boys take vocational courses at GCHS to prepare themselves for employment after High school. All of the agricultural courses are taught by Mr. Leland Ashby. Basic skills such as farm maintenance and livestock raising are introduced. Mr. Ashby also teaches welding and is the sponsor of the local FFA chapter. Shop courses are taught by Mr. Jack Clay. Mr. Henderson is the instructor for mechanical drawing and metal shop. Rounding out the curriculum in Industrial and Safety Education taught by Mr. Don Gibson. The Home Economics courses at GCHS are taught by Mrs. Jeanette French. These courses include: family living, food services I and II, and child care. Miss Luann Knapp teaches Home Ec to the freshman girls in Benld. Course content for all classes includes classroom discussion and practical application in the field and workshop. Mrs. French (below) helps a student on a problem in food services. 30 Health Is Added To P.E. Courses At G.C.H.S To accommodate state laws a new course is added. Health is taught by Miss Webb and Mr. Dobrino. First aid measures and skills are taught. These might someday be vital for the student’s safety and that of others. Mrs. Mary Ann Schoby teaches the girls at Gillespie P.E. Two firsts this year were bowling and roller skating. Instructing at Benld is Miss Gail Nicolussi. Teaching the boys there is Mr. Jim Schindler. Filling this job at Gillespie is Mr. Jerry Grandone. Miss Webb, Mr. Dobrino and Mr. Polovich share the teaching duties of driver’s education. This combines classroom and behind-the-whecl instruction. Mr. Grandone joins in the fun. Mrs. Schoby shows the technique of holding a badminton racket to Vicki Ranger. Miss Webb chats with a student in the library. 32 Films play an imponant role in Mr. Dobrino’s health classes. Mr. Polovich doesn’t look at all nervous with Gayc Campbell behind the wheel. 33 Library Is Important At Gillespie The library plays an important part in the school life of GCHS’ers. They use it to write their many book reports, research papers, and themes. During the study halls it is also used. Many students read the magazines while relaxing. Mrs. Jean Fite keeps the library in good working order. It is her job to process all the new books and to find a place to put them. She periodically files all the magazines for use in school work. Under her supervision the library is a pleasant place for reading, research, and relaxation. Mrs. Fite keeps her files in order.

Service Personnel Keep School Running Working behind the scenes at GCHS is a very busy group of people. The service personnel keep the school running. Serving well-balanced lunches and operating the snack bar are two very important jobs of the cooks. Working in the kitchen in Benld are: Mary Sabot, superintendent, Helen Benich, Mrs. Muich and Frances Norbent, cooks. The kitchen staff in Gillespie are: Evelyn Osterkamp, superintendent, Jennie Burge, Oliva Campion, Mary Lucca, and Jenny Stankoven, cooks. Another important part of the maintenance staff is the custodians. Keeping the floors and the blackboards clean in Benld are Avinere Giraidi, Stanley Moruskey, and Pete Skuba. The Gillespie janitors are Pete Wyatt, Albert Hlafka, and Louis Sobberi. Each year, a group of students is employed by the school to help the maintenance staff. It seems that Mr. Sobberi has trouble with that locker every year. Mr. Wyatt performs a vital service. Mr. Hlafka turns it on — heat that is. 36 Gillespie Staff LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Campion, Mrs. Stankovcn, Mrs. Obcrto, Mrs. Lucca, Mrs. Osccrkamp, and Mrs. Horini.

Mr. Don Dobrino, head coach, was assisted by Robert Easton and Glen Hastings. All proved to be educated and experienced coaches as the year passed. The beginning of the year was tough, but the team worked and spent many hours with the coaches learning the new system. The season opener was in Highland, but it didn’t come to be the Miners first win. Three weeks passed without a win for the Miners, but it was just a matter of time. By the fourth week, the team had developed into a ballclub which was to win four, lose four and tie one. Beside the fine ball play by the entire team, some outstanding individual performances were recorded. These performers were named to All-Conference teams. Keith Bomkamp, as all-conference safety, and Kent Tarro as all-conference linebacker rounded out the Miner’s winning ways. Other honors received by Tarro were an Honorable Mention as Little Allstate linebacker, and as the Team’s Most Valuable Player. As the game goes on, Don Stewart shows concern. 40 41 Fullback Joel Blevins, behind blocking of Bill Wolfe, gains valuable First down yardage for Miner ballclub. 42 Coach Dobrino shows deep concern for his ballclub.

Miners Make Bid For State The Miners fielded a precision team this year, and after dropping some season games, made a bid for the State Tournament. The Miners made the finals of the Sectional Tournament at Edwardsville, giving Gillespie a chance to advance to the Super Sectional for the first time since 1966. Their chances were ended by being defeated in the final game of the Sectional Tournament by the Granite City Warriors. The Miners began the season well, but dropped important games including a loss to Southwestern in the Macoupin County Tournament, giving them a second place berth. They also lost two other games to Southwestern, to give them second place in the conference. John Saracco was selected for the All-County Tournament team and Mark Weyen and Bill Fite were given honorable mention. John Saracco was also given a place on the All-Conference team and honorable mention Little All-State. Bill Fite was also given honorable mention for All-Conference. The varsity finished up their season with a fine record of 22 wins and 8 losses. The freshmen contributed their share of wins with an A Team record of 5 wins and 12 losses and the B Team record of 3 wins and 3 losses. 44 (Top) The basket’s good.

Miner’s Nine Record Fine Season Post 14-4 Mark Miner baseball was represented this year by a fine squad under the coaching of Don Dobrino. The team worked hard before and during the early season in preparation, and it was apparent during the course of each game. The squad consisted of talented and dedicated competitors who gave the team a fine season. The squad won games against many good teams, but were unable to beat Nokomis, and took second place in the conference. They lost their second game of District competition, and were eliminated from State competition. Still, the team was able to show a 14-4 season. Pitchers for the team were a junior and two sophomores, Don Stewart, Danny Evans, Terry Allan, and Joe Stewart. Phil Cavoretto, a sophomore who started at first base, will return. The remainder of the team were mostly underclassmen, and will return next year. 50 Catcher Doug Cottingham retrieves a wild pitch for a play at the plate.

Miner Cindermen Field State Competitor, Set Records The Miner track squad posted fine results in all meets, large and small, in their ’71 season. They won many triangular meets and placed high in the larger meets. They also hosted many meets for the second year on the new track and hope to host larger ones next season. The Miners placed third in the Macoupin County Track Meet, and third in the Conference meet. The team gained its recognition, however, in its individual performers who set records. Keith Bomkamp set the only meet record at the County with a vault of 12 ft. 6 3A inches to break the 1968 record. John Saracco also took a blue ribbon, and tied the County record in the high hurdles in 15 seconds flat, which also tied the school record. Keith Bomkamp vaulted 13 feet to break his own school record and to qualify for state competition at Champaign. There he also went 13 feet, to give a good performance for himself and GHS. The freshmen at Benld showed great talent this year, and a bright promise for future GHS track. 52 Ed Scott (top) stretches another few inches out of his broad jump.

Floating Memories Memories Of Floats This year the Miners chose the theme of Toys” for their Homecoming. All the floats entered in the parade must carry out the theme and are judged on originality and workmanship. First place went to the Junior Class with a Jack in a Box, Second place to the Senior Class with a Dragon, and the third place prize to the Sophomore Class with a Rubber Duck. The other entries are the Drama Club and the GAA. The work put into the many floats gave the Miner’s team the needed confidence and spirit for the game that night. A Toy for the Birds” is a representation of the originality of the Drama Club. 58 The Senior creativity is shown in their float, We’re fired up to Dragom down.” Movable tail and beak is part of the Sophomore float Quack ’Em.” Gary Visintin, Roger Mansholt and Danny Evans are in the process of decorating Mr. Wilkening as one of the students. 59 The GAA of Gillespie High show their faith, Blast ’Em.

The Gillespie Miners played the Southwestern Birds at their game. After the massacre of the Birds each student was invited to the dance held in the gym. The night’s climax was the coronation of the queen. Nine girls were in the competition, in which each was voted for by the student body. Sherry Price was announced the 1970-71 Homecoming Queen. Homecoming Queen Sherry Price receives congratulations. 60 The Dunham twins, Peggy and Patty seem to be enjoying the dance. Junior candidates and escorts: Jeanne Marcacci and Dan Evans, Regina Bomkamp and Kent Tarro, Lou Ann DeWitt and Jack Chulick. 61 Pleased Seniors surround Sherry Price and Keith Bomkamp, other candidates are Elizabeth Richards and Joel Blevins, Donna Kalvin and Mike Rosetto. We’ve Only Just Begun” Annually the Future Homemakers of America sponsor the Sweetheart Dance in the gym. This event is held on the weekend nearest Valentine’s Day. Highlighting the theme, We’ve Only Just Begun” were flowers, opaque figurines, cupids and large hearts. Prior to this year it has been the practice that active junior or senior members running for queen are chosen on the basis of points and then voted upon by the club. This year, F.H.A.’s focus has been changed. The coronation began at 9:00 and the Queen was selected by the entire student body. The 1971 Sweetheart Queen was Bonnie Stewart, a Senior.

The story centered around an egotistical man and his refusal to permit his daughter’s marriage to a meat cutter’s son . . . With such complications, the young lad’s father arrives to talk for his son. The preceding results in a series of comical deaths, with everyone returning from their graves — including a visit from down below.” The story ends with a comical note as the young lovers are permitted to marry and peace reigns throughout the household. Sound effects and lighting are just two of the many jobs of Tom Bauer. 68 Luigi displays his Italian emotions in a discussion with Mr. Morlock.

Jack Dunn and Tony Rives begin the job of ceiling work. 72 DeYon Finkes and Regina Bomkamp judge the correct place for the props. The scarecrow seems to be giving DeYon Finkes a little trouble. Fantasy Land” was the theme for the 1971 prom. As one entered this make-believe land on the yellow brick road, one could see the scarecrow and the tin man from the Wizard of Oz. Each person was seen walking through a frog’s mouth or a giant castle. Paper flowers and a yellow beehive added the finishing touches to this event. The finish to this gay event was the crowning of John Saracco and Sherry Price as the new King and Queen. After all the hours of work by the Junior Class, everyone seemed to have a great time. 73 Mary Jane Klocke finishes the stuffing. A Night In Fantasy Land Amy Bcdnar lights the candles as part of her job as server- Susie Bcdnar seems to be enjoying her night. 74 Diane Duelm and her escort seem entranced with the decorations.

Steve Willis adds to the entertainment with a drum solo. Senior Day is held each year to pay tribute to the Senior Class and to show the various talents of the students. On this day each Senior is honored and gains recognition by the reading of the class history, prophecy and wills. The class history brings back old memories, the prophecy expresses the students’ hidden desires and the wills are a way each expresses anxieties and passes them on to the lower classmen. Several students displayed their talents by singing, playing in a rock band, or in the kitchen clatter band. Each student has this day to remember their senior friends. 77 Dcbby Davidson, Kenny Largio, and Bernice Suhling read the prophecy. FFA Success Growing 1971 was an outstanding year of achievement for the Gillespie chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The aims of the club, to teach special skills in several agricultural fields, and to promote such qualities as leadership, cooperation, and sound character are exemplified in its members. Included in the FFA program are welding, farm wiring, tractor driving, and studies in improving crop yields. In State competition this year, five Gillespie Future Farmers showed their unusual agricultural aptitudes. They were (below) John Hill, Steve Skuba, Gerald Cooper, Tom Stoecker, and Tom Bauer. 78 Student Council Seeks Change STUDENT COUNCIL MEMBERS. 1ST ROW: Karen Masek, Marianne Majzel, Loretta Sciarra, Bernice Suhling, Gail Re, Linda Bcluin, Shelley Bomkamp. 2ND ROW: Joel Blevins, Phil Cavoretta, Mr. Rolando (advisor), Tom Bauer.

Would anyone but a frosh forget his locker combination? With this unbearable, but enthusiastic behavior, the freshman class haunts the halls. As the flurry of that first week of school died down, friendships started popping out all over at such new-found activities as dances, parties and float building. Now adjusted to whirlwind of high school life, the Freshman Class has become unified and well on their way to the day, far in the future when they will be on the top looking down. 93 Kicrlc, Gayla Kluthc, Steve Kocis, Monica Keek, Debra Koniak, Frank Koniak, Sue Ann Kriski, Karen Kuienkamp, Ralph Larker, Debra Link, Bob Linton, Debbie Lolie, Leo Lubrant, Joann Madden, Lynn Magas, Barbella Marasti, Gina Marcacci, Jeff Mazcly, Pam McCourt, Debra Mcllcnthin, Mike Monkc, Bonny Murphy, James Osborn, Darrell Parish, Hope Peters, Christine Pohlman, Charles Porrwood, Donald Rhodes, Rick Riggin, Roxy Runta, Jerry 94 ft A av 'V -.: rv i , , i !

They are no longer the confused freshmen; they are the confused sophomores and have not yet reached the heights of the juniors and seniors: they enjoy the unique position of middlemen. Class spirit is one of the ways sophomores have found themselves. The Homecoming float proved to be an excellent opportunity for a display of sophomore uniqueness and enthusiasm. It was this class spirit that buoyed them up during the defeat of their last place float. Enthusiasm, buoyancy and uniqueness marked the Sophomore class. 97 Demuzio, Cathy Domkoski, Wanda 98 Dona, Susan Dumcz, Nanncttc Ecclcs, Lynne Edwards, Karen Eppinger, Janel Evans, Danny Fellen, Danny Fite, Andrea Fritz, Emil Fritz, Tom Gallo, Jayne Gibbons, Carol Gibbons, Connie Gibbons, Fat Gold, Larry Gray, David Greff, Theresa Guiliani, Jane Hagen, Linda Haltcman, John Heyen, Claudia Heyen, Robert Hickey, Bonnie Holden, Steve Holman, Kevin Hopper, Paul Hopper, Virginia Huddleston, Debra Huddleston, Don Hughes, Debbie Jackson, Kenny Jones, Bob Kaskutas, Mary Katich, Steve 99 Katzmarack, John Kaylor, Jack Keck, Denise Kiefer, Richard Kirby, Mike Kirby, Penny Koniak, Yvonne Koski, Karen Koski, Kenny Kozak, Karl Lacy, Kathy LaRosa, Kenneth Leone, Karen Lewis, Barbara Lienard, Danny Lienard, David Link, Dawna Lirviak, David Lolie, Linda McCrady, David McKechan, Robyn aHO-'.Rmil'ATtDiN ■SiS EJWiwcii 100 McKee, Connie McMillian, Keith Majzcl, Marianne Marciukaitis, John Masck, Karen Monke, Debbie Mussatto, Tracy Nance, Karen Niehaus, Dennis Obertino, Karen Odam, Frank Olmstead, Richard Peters, Nina Picket, Danny Portugal, Bob Prevedcli, Pam Pryor, David Purdy, Rockelle Rands, Brenda Rauker, Bob Rauzi, Joan 101 102 Raynor, Bill Rc, Linda Rcznicck, Larry Rhodes, Debbie Rocker, David Ross, Jeff Ruyle, Judy Sawyer, David Sawyer, Denise Sawyer, Fred Sawyer, Tom Schardan, Debbie Schmidt, Larry Schultz, Jim Schwappich, Bill Secoy, Linda Shuey, Randy Skeldon, David Sneed, Joe Sorbie, Yvonne Stewart, Joe Debbie Knopp takes a clear shot at one of the teachers as others look on approvingly.

Venturing forth into a whirlwind of involvement, they were always eager and willing to promote the school spirit. After all, whose Jack-in-the-Box boxed in the Birds and popped up with first place? Time is of the essence if one is lucky enough to be a member of this class. Versatility and ingenuity were incorporated in all their projects especially the Junior-Senior Prom entitled In the Land of Make-Believe.” The sun always seemed to be found around this shining Junior Class, It’s people like them that keep it turned on.” Cooper, Gerald Cottingham, Doug Crane, Patty Cummings, Sharon Cunningham, Arlin Darte, Patty Daughtery, John Davis, Russell DeWitt, LouAnnc Drew, Michele Dubbs, Steve Duclm, Diane Dufner, Cheryl Dunn, Jack Elvers, Jill 105 Fasciotti, Janice Fenton, John 106 Fritz, Mary Frizzo, Rick Gallo, Roseann Genetti, Debbie Gibbons, Linda Girardi, Marian Glover, Jeanette Greff, Michael Hackworth, Jerry Halavonich, David Hamilton, Ray Hammann, Erlyn Hammann, Sandy Harvill, Susan Hausman, Tom Heyen, Kelly Heyen, Michele Heyen, Susan Hickcn, Kathy Himstcdt, Lynn Hopper, Mike Hopper, Wendell Hughes, Joe Indclicato, Linda Jacobs, Diane Katich, Beverly Kidwcll, Patti Kozak, Karla LaRoche, Timm Laurie, Frank Lewis, John Longson, Bill Love, Carl Loveless, Larry Loveless, Susan Magas, Teresa Mansholt, Janell Marcacci, Janine Marinacci, Mike Markle, Wyman 107 McCosky, Donna Meinardi, Sheryl Minton, Patty Motto, Jim Mussatto, Pam Neff, Rose Niehaus, Gary Ottersburg, Mary Pcllizzaro, Gary Pohlman, Jim Pryor, Bobby Ranger, Vickie Re, Gary Reid, Julie Remcr, Jesse Rhodes, Diane Riggin, Judy Rives, Tony Robbins, Harvey Sani, Mike Sattovia, Joyce Schocn, Donna Sciarra, Loretta Scott, Ed 108 Scmplowski, Wally Schmidt, Larry Linda Hagan, Connie Campbell, and Susan Dona seem to have some devious thoughts in mind at the Athletic Carnival.

The day-to-day routine, getting up early, dressing in school attire, studying for and taking exams, is all behind them now. Yet, those realities so assured of became precarious doubts. Then something happened and the Senior Class no longer kept looking at life with certainties. Things started popping, doubts were turning into realities, and the Class of 1971 began giving life a new scope. They started looking forward not with certainty as before, but with a determined interest, full of hope for the future that lay before them. 110 Bauer, Tom Bednar, Susan Beluin, Linda Bcnjey, Todd Bergen, Edward Bertagnolli, Lee ill Backstage, Randy Vcrticchio, Jim Alpi, Gene Beyer, and Rick Vcrticchio put on their own performance.

It was both a glad and a sad occasion. At the commencement ceremony, some cried; most enjoyed the moment of relief, and some were in another world, watching the past four years flash before them. Now the graduate pushes to the back of his mind all the knowledge that he has acquired and takes a step beyond high school days to open many doors of the future, hoping to open the right one; he goes out to find a job and assumes the responsibilities of an adult, or climbs to a higher degree of education. As the Board of Education distributes the diplomas they extend their congratulations to the graduates and each member of the class of’71 leaves the gym and receives a daisy (the class flower) as a token of his twelve years of achievement. Mr. Borgini offers encouragement to the 1971 graduating class. Marsha Gold, Betty Richards, and Mary Ann Spagnola, co-valedictorians receive trophies from Mr. Borgini. 126 Graduates listen attentively to Mr. Orler speak while (below), the class of 71 march into the gym as commencement ceremony begins. ’ The Graduating Class Of 1971 127 SHERMAN SHOPS A V HARDWARE Gillespie, Illinois SERVING YOU WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY MERCHANDISE FOR OVER FORTY YEARS. 109 S.
