Historians answer that to understand the present and to predict the future, the study of the past is indeed necessary . Studying the social sciences is also necessary to complete one’s education so that one understands the social and political system of his country and the world. The social science curriculum includes U.S. History . Sociology. Comparative Government. Consumer Economics. Business Law. and Current American Problems. The last six are semester courses offering interested history students comprehensive study in the social sciences. Top right: Mr. Blevins talks to his class.

The Future Teachers of America get classroom teaching experience by aiding the teachers in the elementary school. Junior Lisa Keck (above) has helped Mr. Mike Davies with his sixth grade class for two years. She says she has gained valuable experience in teaching, likes it more all the time, and has learned more than she has taught. 39 Drama Club Presents The Drama Club's production was Meet Me in St. Louis. which was well received by the audience. “Meet Me in St. Louis.” written by Christopher Sergei and directed by Mr. Sid Stauffer, is set in a typical turn-of-the-century American home just before the opening of the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. The father has accepted a new job and is ready to transfer to New York but his daughters do not want to go. The girls have no intentions of leaving their boy friends or of missing the opening of the World’s Fair. The Meet Me in Si. Louis Cast: (from row) Jerry Roberts. Lisa Keck with her cat Tingo.

Co-Editor Patti Meldi and I attended a summer workshop at SlU-Carbondale in August of 1977. and we gained some valuable knowledge about theme and layout. Producing a yearbook is a time-consuming job for which the staff is given no academic credit. Staff members contribute their time at night, during study halls, and for two weeks after school ends. They also must raise their own funds from selling advertising and working concession stands at sports events. Pictures for the yearbook are selected on the basis of availability and quality, not according to the students pictured. Very active students may appear several times in the book simply because they are active. All students appear in the book if they have what the staff calls a “mug” shot. Each year the Gillespian staff attempts to make the book bigger and better for which it receives little thanks, yet all members take criticism well and remain loyal. Top: Margaret Brummett. Janice Meyer, and Mrs. Dobrino look over pictures for the opening section. John Lolie (above) chooses the best pictures for the Homecoming pages. 46 Staff artists Jack Burns and Mary Polovich (below left) plan yearbook artwork.

'|S FHA — Just Imagine FHA members followed their theme, “Just Imagine,” when planning their annual events such as FHA week, the Sweetheart Dance, and their Mother-Daughter Banquet. A new event during FHA week was the faculty baby picture contest in which students tried to identify teachers from their baby pictures. During the Mother-Daughter Banquet, nine FHA members modeled clothes from Casual Corner, located at White Oaks Mall in Springfield. Senior Pat Dolliger was chosen as Correspondent for Co-ed magazine. Mrs. Michelle Saxon. Home-Economics instructor, sponsored FHA. FHA week is always a high point during the school year. Clash day seems to be a favorite, as shown by Lisa Keck (above).

In addition, the council sponsored their annual assembly for the enjoyment of the student body. This year's assembly featured a man and wife gymnastic team. Each worked with the circular gym. a huge wheel which they maneuvered by shifting their body weight inside the wheel. Some members of the Student Council attended the district convention in Belleville, where Scott Dillard ran fora district office. President Rick Hopper. Sara Gold, and Jill Tiburzi also attended the state convention held in Chicago. The Student Council also experienced a first this year.

Later it was learned that the Homecoming Dance would be postponed for two weeks because the band failed to appear leaving everyone wondering who would be this year's Homecoming Queen. The saving light of the 1977-78 Homecoming was the shining performance of the Miners in their 21-0 victory over the Virden Bulldogs. 58 Opposite top: Rick Hearn adds last minute touches to Darth Vader and R2D2 before the junior float made the trek to the track.

The band put together half-time shows, played at pep assemblies and basketball games, performed at the Christmas program and Graduation, presented a spring concert, (opposite bottom) and competed in district contest. The band played a major role in arousing spirit at pep assemblies. Perhaps the highlight of the year was when the band marched through the main hall playing the school song to pep up the school for the big Carlinville game. Bad news: Band marched without permission from Mr. Borgini: good news: the Miners trounced Carlinville. The band worked hard all year to raise money for a trip to Chicago, which was taken in June. The band was to play a concert, but because of bus trouble could not. Several members auditioned for All-District Band and were accepted to play at a concert at W1U after an all-day practice. Those who participated were Patti Meldi. Jan Meyer, Don Knoche, and Kenny Kay, concert band; Denise Ismari, orchestra. Patti and Denise (left) also were members of the All-State Band as a result of high scores received on their auditions. The band practices all summer long and performs in many parades. Janice Meyer (above right) has been majorette for two years. Patti Meldi served as majorette last summer. Junior Denise Ismari will take over duties next year. 66 The Drill Team assisted the band in fund raising. They performed at half time shows, basketball games, and parades. Members are: (above: left to right, bottom row) Viola Turner, Cindy Tebbe, Marsha Edwards, Mary Fraelle, Sherry Pomatto, Pat Gausepohl, and Brenda Morris; (secondrow) Carrie Lakin, Theresa Wolfe, Cheryl Peacock, Debbie Clay.

Consequently, the Carnival may be cancelled, but the dance and queen selection will continue. The freshmen came up with a new idea, shaving balloons which proved to be popular but not as popular as the senior water-balloon throw. Other activities included the sophomore squirt-gun and the junior dart-throw. The highlight of the Carnival was the crowning of Dee Dee Tallman as 1078 Athletic Carnival Oueen. 68 Opposite top: Freshman Tom Berutti smears the face of a classmate with shaving cream while Doug Wattles enjoys the joke.

Much of the “outer space decorum was created by the juniors. Junior artists such as Cheryl Kramer (above) drew various “space” posters which lined the walls. Stars of various sizes which juniors covered with aluminum foil dotted the ceilings. A celestial blue paper covered the walls. Silver streamers highlighted by colored spotlights fell like water falls from each corner of the gym. Huge “heavenly bodies” rested on pillars at the entrance which was transposed into a telescope. The prom attendants walked through the telescope into “another world.” Tonya Koski (right) and Lisa Keck (opposite top) prepare the “outer world” to receive the seniors. 72 Prom Couples Top right: Bryan Goode and Marilyn Stark A hove left: Tom Verticchio and Kellie Angelo Middle right: Colleen McGrady and Carl Franke Lower left: Gregg Tallman and Freda Burnley 74 Above left: Murray McGrady and Karla Johnson Above right: Tom Bergen and Mary Libbra Left: Tony Lehmann and Kim Brown Below left: Bill Riegert and Brenda Link Below right: Tom Cerkoski and Jacki Plovich Seniors Trip Down Meramec The class of ’78 added another first when they chose a float trip down the Meramec River instead of the usual Six Flags or Cardinal baseball game. They busied themselves playing cards, snacking, or clowning on the three and one-half hour bus trip to Steelville. Mo., early Thursday. May 25. Michelle Cleeton (right) shows her prowess at “poker.” When they arrived, it was a mad scramble to get the canoes in the river for the four hour float trip. The current was not overly strong, but that fact did not prevent canoes from tipping or “pirates” from dumping other river travelers. Seniors returned tired, sunburned, and wet. but expressed their delight when many wished the trip had been longer. 76 The canoe seems to be sinking under the weight of Jerry Cairns. Don Burris.

Following a disheartening 28-0 loss to Staunton, the Miners regained their composure and won their next two games including a 14- 13 victory overarch rival Carlinvilie. Hopes were high for a possible conference co-championship with Staunton and Nokomis with one game remaining, but hopes ended in disappointment when the Miners lost to Nokomis. 27-13. The Miners finished the season with a respectable 6 win-3 loss record. Tup: Wayne Blevins.

Some new drills and maneuvers were taught by some of the team members who attended volleyball camp during the summer at SIU-C. The girls who attended were Laura Nepute. Kris Blevins, Paula Heinz, Sherry Pomatto. Jill Tiburzi, and Sid Crane. Serving was also emphasized. Mrs. Deist assisted Mrs. Schoby in coaching the team this year. The junior varsity team consisting of almost all freshmen played well and chalked up a record of 8-6 for the season. The varsity, however, just couldn’t find the winning combination, winning only against Virden. The varsity team was young, composed of mainly sophomores and juniors. There were only three senior players. Top: Dee Dee Tallman executes a powerful serve. Above: The Girls' Volleyball Team: (left to right, firsl row) Shirley Hughes. Sherry Pomatto. Patty Garrett.

Members of the team pictured above are: (bottom row, left to right) Kim Seipp. Lisa Keck. Jane Wilson (alternate); (standing) Geri Cummings, Colleen McGrady, and Brenda Schuetz. The letter winners present at the sports banquet (left) were Patty Mitchell. Brenda Schuetz. Kim Seipp. and Ms. Olson, their coach.

The cheerleaders had multiple duties which included organizing pep assemblies, preparing skits and cheers, and making signs to be displayed around the school. The cheerleaders once again proved their skills when they returned from camp the past summer bearing their winnings. The girls were awarded the Spirit Stick and several blue ribbons for superior achievements.

However, the Miners finished the season at .500 with a 13- 13 record. The high point of the season was the County Tournament. The Miners easily knocked off Northwestern. 78-54. In the second game, the Miners stunned Virden, 71-63. but could not catch enough wind the next night to overcome a powerful Southwestern club and lost. 69-53.

The girls had a long, hard season beginning in late November and ending in March at the Subregional Tournament. As a young team the Miners had to begin learning fundamentals of basketball and working at playing as a team. The girls got off to a slow start losing their first several ball games to opponents having much more experience. The Miners kept pace with the challenge, narrowing the scores in every game. The girls gained their first victory over Virden with an impressive score of 50-17. Hard work and experience paid off as the Miners finished their season winning three of their last four ball games. 96 Top: Sophomore starter Kris Blevins takes a jump shot.

For several of the girls this pre-season conditioning paid off. Brenda Morris, one of the captains, gave up running the 440-yard dash to enter the hurdles. This year a new event was added, the 220-yard hurdles. Brenda continued to hold the anchor position on the mile relay team. Pam Bulicich brought her sweats and spikes with her from Chile to become an integral part of the GHS track team. Pam, a sprinter, jumped in to complete the relay teams. MVP Laura Nepute entered four events in each track meet. Laura demonstrated her strength in the discus and shot put and speed in the 100-yard dash and the 880-yard relay. Senior Barb Smith (right), co-captain, was an important leg in the mile and 880-yard medley relays. Two girls broke their own school records — Mary Fraelle in the 880- yard run and Laura Nepute in the shot put. Sherry Pomatto set a new school record in the mile run. Kim Seipp was the only member to place at the District meet where she finished fifth. Kim was also named to the Track Honor Roll. The team was coached by Mrs. Nancy Diest and assisted by Mr. Joel Blevins. Above: The Girls’ Track Team: (left to right, first row) Pam row) Barb Smith. Jill Tiburzi. Kris Blevins. Jody Smith.

The young team was led by junior Scott Wyatt and senior Rick Bertagnolli. Scott Wyatt, 1978 MVP, led the team in scoring. He was entered in four events and scored as many as 21 points in a single meet. Wyatt excelled in the County Meet by placing in all four of his events. Scott placed first in the triple jump, second in the long jump, and third in the high hurdles to qualify for State in the first two events. At State, Wyatt placed ninth in the triple jump. Rick Bertagnolli (right) was voted Captain by his teammates. Rick anchored the mile relay team and ran the 880-yard dash. Rick placed in every meet and was the only trackster to place at the Glenwood Invitational where he received third place. Bertagnolli just missed qualifying for State as he finished third at the District Meet. The younger members of the team emmulated their leaders well. The freshman 440-yard relay team, a promising group of young sprinters, swept their event at most meets. They doubled as the varsity relay team, and each member was entered in one or more additional events. The boys were coached by Mr. Jerry Grandone and Mr. Ed Saracco. 101 Right: Larry Smith drives to break the string ahead of his opponents. Fur right.

They advanced to the Regional Championship but lost a close game to Nokomis, 5-3. In both games against arch rival Carlinville, the Miners trounced the Cavaliers 10-4 and 18-8. Several games were rained out including two double headers, which left the Miners with a 7-6 record for the season.

Ill Freshmen Become Involved The youngest members of the student body, the freshmen, kept stride with the upperclassmen by creating a first place Homecoming float. They also found out that they will be the first class to need 18 credits for graduation instead of 16. The freshmen were the first to act as big brothers and sisters to the eighth graders when they came to GHS for a one-day orientation, a new procedure initiated this year. Freshmen can be found mingling in almost any activity at GHS and are always ready to volunteer, as does Scott Ismari who is observing FHA Dress Up Day. (right). Abney. Rebecca Anderson.

The class worked all week to complete its Homecoming float, the Longest Yard, and then watched it crumble in minutes when the wind caught hold. Some of the sophomore girls were intergral to the first GHS girls’ basketball team. Varsity starters were Laura Nepute, Kris Blevins, and Paula Heinz. Charlie Smith brought the class honors by being selected to the All Conference Football Team. The class sponsored a stand at the Athletic Carnival which featured shooting a candle with a water gun, where Kris Blevins and Scott Dillard work, (right).

Juniors Are Busy The junior class left its impressive imprint on GHS as they met and overcame all challenges and prepared for an explosive year. Those imprints started with the preparation of the class float Star Wars. The force didn't hold up as the float fell apart during the parade. The force was with them when they smashed the magazine sales record setting an all time high of over $7,000. which left a strenuous challenge for next year's juniors. Eight juniors were chosen for the National Honor Society. Their selection was based on leadership, character, and scholastic ability. The heroic Masked Marvel came to life when Frank Corbin. Jerry Roberts, and Jack Burns created the comic strip for the Miners' Light. The most phenomenal impression left by thejuniors was the 1978 Prom. “Door to Another World.” The theme provided a romantic atmosphere for juniors and seniors as they entered a huge telescope into another galaxy. 123 Akers.

The seniors hoped for another first place Homecoming float while constructing a huge brilliant star for their theme. A Star Is Bom. Only the seniors know how great the finished float was because by the time the float reached the track, it was in shambles. As a result. “A Star Is Born received third place. The fourth annual water balloon stand was sponsored by the seniors at the Athletic Carnival. There was not a lot of participation by the seniors, but it was again the highlight of the Carnival. Fifteen new senior members were inducted into the National Honor Society. There were a total of 21 senior members. Prom was an exciting night for the seniors who were glad to relax and journey through the “Door to Another World created by the junior class. The seniors discovered a new way to enjoy their last excursion together. About 90 seniors and sponsors canoed down the Meremec River. It was a day not easily forgotten because of sunburns, bruises, and many memories. Kris Alderson K AI.OI'.RSON FHA I (historian). 2 I vice pfcv. section sec. I: Homecoming ( and. I. 2.4.

As life continues Impressions will never cease Creating and changing thoughts Of minor decisions or major feats. The impact of an impression Is as individual as a name. Impressions can be lost But most forever remain . . . Especially those gathered at GHS 1978 REMEMBER. . . the mind boggled by Advanced Physics, English term papers, fetal pigs in Advanced Biology, trying to get Mr. Borgini to say “yes.” floats falling apart at Homecoming, trying to survive in P.E. classes. . . Did all this leave you feeling as if you were in a vacuum as Gregg Tallman seems to be (above). Sue Hay (right) trying to get the Miners' Light typed in two days? “You've got to be kidding,” Sue replied. P.E. classes when it was fun wallowing in the mud during the spring rains and then being hosed off by Mr. Dobrino? watching Dwayne Pomatto burn up the floor?
