Carousel was selected for the parade and Never Can Say Good-by , for the dance. Clubs quickly began preparations for decorating their floats. Students could be found working at various construction sites throughout the night. Homecoming week soon arrived with the Coronation of King Mike Wallaert and Queen Patti Sobkowiak. Wednesday, students and teachers were found dressed up as ghosts, goblins, and 'wilamen to scare the Hall out of Geneseo. Thursday, the student body participated in the Spirit Day activities. That evening the Home- coming parade toured the city of Spring Valley and ended with a Community Pep rally in the football stadium.

The lights flickered out, and silence becalmed the house. It was the opening of Arsenic and Old Lace , this year's fall play. The first night provided a test of nerves as butterflies filled the stomachs of the actors. After the play the cast spent the remaining few hours of the night and the rest of the next day concentrating on perfection of their characters, under the direction of Miss Kotte and Miss Strouse. Tension was building as the play entered its third and final nignt. All went well as the but- terflies again made their jumbling appearance. The stage hit a climax on that night with the final curtain call and screams from the cast. Makeup commingle with tears as the cast slowly departed the memory filled auditorium. As the lights drew to a close, the eternal portal was sealed shut on another successful play. 1.

Fall Play 15 Students rededicate memorial trees It was a cold blustry day in November as the students of Hall High dedicated the first of the twenty-four memorial trees along the campus lane. The evergreen trees were to be a living memorial to Hall students and graduates who gave their life in the service of the United States. The trees flurished over the years until a sewer im- provement resulted in the destruction of the two trees. A memorial plaque listing those who so bravely gave their lives was placed on a red granite stone on campus in 1968 by Kim Cabodi. The plaque was vandalized several years ago, not only by people, but wind, rain, and snow. Through an ef- fort by Student Council, a rededication of the meorials served as a Veteran Day assembly. November 10 was a cold blustry day as the students filed into the auditorium for the program. Speakers for the day spoke on patriotic subjects and experiences of World War II. 1. Alan Tyler, former Hall principal at the time of the planting of the memorial trees, recalls events that led to the living memorial of the fallen service men. 2. Student Council Vice-President Debbie Lenhausen carefully plants a replacement tree in the memorial grove along the lane. 3.

Following the assembly the students, teachers, and guests went out into the snow filled sky for the replanting of the trees in the memorial grove. A new commerative plaque was dedicated by the American Legion and V.F.W. posts in Hall District on Sunday, November 13th. The Harold E. Russel American Legion Post of Ladd, Robert C. Wallace V.F.W. post of Bureau and the Dominic O'Berto American Legion Post and Percy Warel V.F.W. post of Spring Valley, contributed to the restoration of the bronze memorial. Many local residents and members of the veterans organizations braved the cold and wind to honor the World War II dead of Hall High School. 1.

After the blizzard and cold, the gym seemed warmer as the couples began to arrive early in the evening. Freshman couples arrived in chauffered automobiles while upperclassmen appeared in grand style with top hats and canes. Most couples were attired in matched shirt sets while some wore sweaters. The party goers danced to the music of the Coal Creek Band. A busy place was the alter where Marry'in Sam, Frank Mautino and Marry'in Samantha, Lenee Smoode, married every couple who came to the dance. Royalty crowned for the evening were Daisy Mae, Penny Hassler, ana Lil Abner, Greg Blockly. After the crowning, the couples left for their dinner engagements at The Little Wine Cellar, The Publick House, La Grotto, and Verucchi's. The evening ended with cherished memories for all. 1.

They were greeted by council members accepting tickets and handing out the red roses to sweethearts . Couples were found dancing to the fast and frilly music of Amber. The band used antics of fire and smoke similar to the rock group Kiss. Every couple made a trip through to nave their pictures taken upon a velvet and satin background.

People could be found washing cars, picking up flowers, tuxs and decorating the Red Room at the Hotel Kaskaskia. The Junior Prom would be held that evening. The magic hour of 8 arrived too quickly for many. Couples entered the Red Room through the silver shimmering curtains. A buffet dinner was served to the young adults early in the evening while the band Breezin'1 played. Breaking with tradition, the King and Queen were announced before the dance. John Matthews reigned as King and Julie Giacometti as Queen. The coronation over, the band then held the party goers spellbound for three hours. The midnight hour arrived and the couples began to leave. The 1978 Prom How Deep Is Your Love became a glowing memory. Sunday again found couples together as they headed for their favorite picnic area. The day too soon, was over, only the memories and sovieners remained as a reminder of Prom '78. 1. The punch fountain was a popular place during the cource of the evening. Pam Podobinski offers Phil DeArcos a glass of punch. 2.

Prom 23 Games People Play, Every Night And Every Day Students at'Hall seemed to find time to do many things in a school week. School work would take up much of a students time and when it was done it was off to work at a local business or out to an interstate oasis. The old axiom all work and no play makes school life quite dull. Those juniors and seniors on the IIDP program had open campus. This free time allowed students to unwind after long hard hours of classes. A popular past time on those nice fall days was a stroll along the side streets adjoining Hall. The long harsh winter months forced the students into the lounge and games became the thing. A friendly card game could be found going on most any time. Board games became an at home past time. Chess and Monopoly became the favorite games. The clear spring air with the warm days found frizbes floating in the air on the east campus. Those looking for a tan could be seen on the steps or grass hills with pant legs rolled up, greeting the first rays of sun. 1. Brain Victor shows Debbie Lusietto how to stand an egg on it's end. 2. A free mod offers Dean Eiten time for a game of Euker. Dean checks over his hand before the game begins. 3. The aftermath of an evenings fun could be found along the west lane every Monday. 24 Games Classroom situations are not always tight regementation, and games are played here also. Educational games of Spanish Monopoly and Scrabble could be founa in the Spanish labs. Geometery offered the students the opportunity to work with geometrical shapes. Christmas ornaments of all shapes and sizes could be found in room 107. The long school week ended with a game of football, basketball, baseball, or track. Weekends were a time to relax. A disco dance, sox hop, a movie, or a ride in the country helped the student unwind. Picnics at the Rock or Matthessen were a remembered event. A favorite past time was the impromptu parties down the river or along the creek. Regardless of the amount of work the students at Hall had, they always seemed to have plenty of free time for games. 1. Representing the faculty In the Homecoming activities, Mr. Bergo downs one of his 20 hamburgers. 2. Attempting to see if an egg really stands on it's end on the first day of spring, Debbie Lusitto slowly moves away her hands. 3.

Medleys from the Beatles, Supremes and Pink Floyd meet the audiences' ears as the curtained opened for Story Theatre. The play revolved around a collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aesop's Fables. A short performance was given in connection with the Hall Education Association's Spring Festival. A second pre performance was given to the area grade schools. Story Theatre escapes the idea of a musical and become a show of song, dance and mime. A simple set left much to the imagination of the audience. Dressed in tie dyed shirts, soxs and blue jean nickers, the cast performed for three fun filled nights. Under the direction of Miss Strouse and student director Debbie Lenhausen the play was performed to well filled nights. Some of the songs were written by Mr. Kevin McNulty, music director. Dimming the lights for the final time left a meloncholy feeling in the hearts of the cast and crews.__________________________ 1.

The turn out of girls pleased Coach Pienta. Early indoor practice gave indication of a good squad. Hampered by the rain and wet weather the girls were not able to perform as well as they wanted. The varsity had only one pitcher, LuAnn Argubright who hurled every inning of all games. Plaqued by a definite lack of experience the competition proved to be too much. The team continued to improve each game and by the tournament time the Devils were very competitive. The Red and White defeated L-P, Ottawa and St. Bede in the final week of the season. The young squad finished with a record of 4 wins 10 losses. The Frosh-Soph, under the direction of Coach Lunn, recorded a 3 wins 3 loss season. 1.

Girls Softball 35 Robeza gains 907 yards — Devils post 5-3 record It seems that the hot August weather descends upon Hall High School just as fall football practice begins. The double and triple conditioning sessions were designed to bring the Hall varsity to a fine edge. Beginning his second year, Coach Zecca was optomistic. The preseason class 3A football ratings found teams rated 1-2-3, all were to be opponents during the year. On three Fridays the Devils were to face the number one team in the state of Illinois. First we fell to Metamora 25-0. Then to Geneseo on a rain soaked field during Homecoming 13-0 and on the final game of the season to Rochelle 40-0. Rain poured on the Red and White throughout the season as it fell during six games. The hopes of Hall High rose as the team won five games, and a vision of a Central Conference faded at Rochelle. The Red and White had a well balanced squad with a good running attack. Led by Rick 1. Mark Michael and Tony Blagioni bring down an Ottawa Marquette eno short of a first down. 2. A strong part of the Hall game was the punt returns of Mark Michael. 3. In a classic pose Bud Raineri punts to get the Devils out of a tight spot as Dennis Vowels prepares to block a Rock Falls linebacker. 36 Varsity Football Robeza, the offense out gained our opponents 1622 yards to 1419 yards. When the running game failed, the punting of Bud Raineri kept our foes at bay. The defense was anchored by Kurt Bruno, Jim Smoode and Bob Brady. Time and again the team would bend but not break. Hall was only out of two games all season because of the fine defensive team. Climaxing the season was the North Central Conference Coaches selecting Bruno, Brady, Matthews, Robeza and Smoode to the first all conference team. Eleven others were selected for the Honorable Mention and Special mention honors. 1. Exemplifying the Varsity spirit Tony Ponsetti leads the Red Devils on to the field through the sophomore honor guard. 2. Splashing across the water covered field, Rick Robeza watches to see the direction of John Matthews block. 3. Hall's offensive line lead the charge as Rick Robeza sweeps the end against Chillicothe. Varsity Football 37 Frosh-Soph splash to a 3 and 5 season Preparations for the 1977 football season began for the coaches early in the hot month of August. The depth chart showed seven returning letter-men. Key spots had to be filled and Coach Vicini and Coach Smith began to think ahead to pre-season conditioning programs. The weeks quickly passed, the teams were set. The Demons journied to Metamora only to lose a hard fought game 14-6. The following week Marquette, taking advantages of mistakes rolled over the Red and White 35-6. A hard week at the practice field corrected the errors and the Devils went to win their next two games by shut outs 16-0 over IVC and 18-0 over Princeton. Homecoming found the field rain soaked and Hall playing an excellent game only to fall 14-0 to Geneseo. A last play score saw the young team fall to Rock Falls. Splitting the last two 1.

Side stepping a fallen Trogen, Tim Trevier breaks a punt return for a 28 yard gain. 38 Sophomore Football games found the Red and White with a record of 3 wins and 5 losses. The record is not important as the development of the individuals as team members. The offense was led by the exciting running of Gary Faletti. Chuck Taliani matured as quarterback with his ball handling and passing. The defensive team, led by linebackers Mike Miroux and Rick Soberalski and the line had several outstanding games. Maturing as the season progressed the team played an inspired type of football. They should fit well into the next season's Varsity program. 1. Directing his blockers, Gary Faletti, looks for a hole in the Princeton defensive line. 2. Rick Soberalski leaps high over the Rochelle defenders to catch a first down in the closing moments in the first half. 3. Third down and short yardage finds the I.V.C. defense stopping Mark Teau-seau for no gain. Sophomore Football 39 Demons’ speedsters spark team to 5-3 season Competition is the main ingredient that breeds winning teams. Coach Boroski and Bergo were quite pleased with forty boys who wanted to play football. The freshman football team had to master many aspects of the game from blocking and tackling to executing plays correctly. During the early part of the season players were tried at several positions. The coaches tried to determine where each would best fit as the team developed. The season began with a hard fought loss to Ottawa 10-6. Dan Trillet provided the spark of excitement with his long yard electrifying runs as the Demons won their next three games. Disaster was waiting the sidelines as the young Devils lost to Princeton. Jay Schultz, the Hall quarterback, broke his wrist. Todd Morris was pressed into the hot spot and the team responded witn a 26-14 win 1. Coach Bergo discusses how he wants the linebackers to play with Captain Ken Wiltse. 2. Side stepping a fallen Riviter, Chuck Bernabei turns up field for a six yard gain. 3. Playing an important part in the freshman success was the play of the defense line. 40 Freshman Football over Streator. The Red and White lost their next two games to finish the season with a 5-3 record. Complimenting Trillet's running were Chuck Bernabei, Jim Per-ino and Ken Colmone. Eleven members of the offensive teams were able to score touch downs. This was made possible by the keen competitions of the first, second, and third squads. Defensively no one could be singled out, as it seemed on each play someone else would make the key tackle or recover a fumble. Each of the forty members of the squad played an important part in the successful season enjoyed by the 1977 Freshman. 1. Quick reactions of John Croissant and Jay Schultz stop a Streator drive near the Hall goal. 2. Anticipating contact, Dan Trillet prepares to straight arm an Ohio defender. 3. Dragging several of Amboy lineman, Jim Perino fights for a first down. Freshman Football 41 Inexperience poses problem with Varsity team A large turnout of girls qreeted coach Drechsel as volleyball practice began. Depleated by graduation only one letterman returned. Faced with the rebuilding of the squad from last year's successful Sophomore team presented a challenge. The team comprised of only one Senior showed a definite lack of experience. Competition came from the North Central Conference for the first time. The caliber of play was just too much for the Devils. They fell to their first five opponents before beating Geneseo in a well executed game. The team began to show bright spots though still playing in- consistently. Each game found the Red and White more competitive. High lighting the season were the two wins.over St. Bede. The team became more confident as tournament time approached and beat a fine Tonica team in the first round of the District Tournament. The 1.

The final record of 4 wins 16 losses should be a spring board to a well seasoned team as seven lettermen will be returning next year. 1. Moving quickly, Lori Welbers makes a save as she drives the ball back to Ottawa Marquette. 2. Jodi Terando leaps high as she blocks a net shot by Ottawa Marquette. 3.

Varsity Volleyball 43 Frosh-Soph have 15 and 3 Volleyball season Exciting could best describe the 1977 Frosh-Soph Volleyball team. A balance of three Freshmen and three Sophomores. The squad started fast with a two game sweep over Ottawa. The team continued to improve its play each week. Led by net play were Mary Noll, Bonnie Fulara, and Julie Prokup. The Red and White were defeated by Streator in a closely contested match. The loss caused the girls to become more of a team. Lisa Lunn, Paula Edgecomb and Debbie Corpus blended together well. They seemed to anticipate each other's moves and covered when someone was caught out of position. Team play was instrumental in the Red Devils winning 15 of their 18 matches. Each game seemed to have a different hero because of serving or net play. The Demons finished with a record of 15 and 3.

Frosh-Soph Volleyball 45 Cross Country ranks fifth, highest ever at State Cross Country, another of the sports reinstated by Hall High School, faced a great challenge. Coach Morris began to build his team around Ron Miller, a senior, juniors John Belcher, Ed Nissen, Gary Pio-trowski, sophomores Jim Beze-ly, Marty Herrmann and freshman Tim Mack. Lack of competition was a handicap to our young squad. It was forced to run against the established programs of many larger schools in Invitational Competition. The Red and White, though inexperienced, began to make a strong competitive showing. High lighting the season was the continual improvement of the squad's times. Marty Herr- mann and Gary Piotrowski became leaders as the season progressed. Running in all types of weather conditions they began to place high in the finishing order in most events. The Devil's record in duel meets was 3 wins and 6 loses. The experience gained was evident as the season came to a close when the Red Devils 1. Marty Herrmann, Hall's fine sophomore runner, finishes in the meet with Rochelle as Mr. Jiles records his time. 2. Slower runners are bunched up after completing the first mile of the 2.9 mile course. 3.

Under class squad gains valuable experience Golf was back to Hall after a years abscence. Lack of experience was a major problem facing the Red and White. The season became a training and development period as five of the top six golfers were juniors. The remainder of the squad consisted of two seniors, a sophomore, and three freshmen. The Devils won only two matches but were competitive in several others. The lack of competition during the 1976-77 season showed with high scores posted during the 1977 season. The varsity averaged 48.1 strokes as a team in meet play while the junior varsity haa an average 61.2 strokes. Bright sports were the improvement of Wally Meyers, Bob Booker and Jon Riva as the season came to an end. The varsity golf team finished with a record of 2 wins—10 losses while the JV‘s lost their 4 matches. 1978 looks to be an optomistic year with the return of five lettermen. 1.

Red Devils struggle to 5-21 season The varsity basketball team had a difficult year. From the outset of fall practice, it was apparent that the team would have problems. Several members of last years squad did not report for practice. The juniors lacked the experience necessary to make tne squad a formidable one. The Devils started the season at the Princeton Invitational. Senior players became disenchanted with the way the season was progressing and one by one they dropped from the squad. Following the Christmas Vacation, the team was comprised of two seniors and eight juniors. During the Hall Holiday Tournament, Sophomores Jeff Peterson and Jeff Sebben were brought up for varsity play. Sebben also played in the Regional Tournament. The Sophomore players complemented John Matthews, Bob Booker during tournament play. The team finished with a record of 5-21. The Red and White gained valuable playing experience against some of the areas top teams. 1. Struggling with his Rock Falls opponent, John Matthews loses control of the ball. 2. With a shoulder fake, Bob Booker out-maneuvers an Ottawa defender as he sets up a play. Varsity Basketball 51 1. After a steal, Don McNally leads a fast break and scores against Wenona. 2.

The entire starting team from last season had returned. Each practice found the team getting sharper as they polished their skills. The Red and White opened the season with wins over Putman County and Princeton. Faltering, they fell to Kewanee in the title game of the Princeton Tournament. Only an overtime loss to Sterling marred their next 15 games. The strong sophomore team led by Jeff Sebben, Greg and Jeff Peterson, and Joe Bassetti were in contention for the North Central Conference crown down to the final weeks of the season. Versatility was the ingredient that made the team per- form almost to perfection. A knee injury early in the season sidelined Chuck Taliani and forced Coach Vicini to find another guard. A broken finger and a blood clot sidelined Sebben and Jeff Peterson at the end of the season. The reserves proved themselves quite capable. The fine Sophomore team ended the season with a 15-5 record. 1. In NCIC Championship Game against Kewanee, Jeff Sebben attempts to score as he shoots over a Rivetor. 2. Greg Peterson adds to Demon lead with a successful jumpshot. Sophomore Basketball 53 54 Freshman Basketball 2. Gene Foster eyes the basket as he out maneuvers his Streator opponent. 1.

Flu effects Demon’s playing record Optimistic was the outlook for the freshman basketball team as preseason practice began. The transition from football to basketball was slow. Fundamentals and learning the style of play were foremost in Coach Bergo's teaching. The season began as the Red and White won three out of their first four games. Trying to find the best combination of players was a major job. Just when one player would move to the front, nis competition would also show improvement. Illness in the form of flu hit and the team never really recovered as the Demons lost six straight games before tasting victory again. Playing outstanding ball throughout the season were Tim Bruno and Gary Martinkus. A supporting role was played by Perry Price, Chuck Bernabei and Steve Taliani. The squad did not reach a peak during the year as it's final record was 6 wins and 10 loses. 1. Leaping high to get over the zone defense, Gary Martinkus fires an outlet pass to the breaking Tim Bruno. 2. An aggressive Streator defender bumps Jerry Price as he releases the ball and scores. 3.

Freshman Basketball 55 Hall Bowlers rate third in district competition The bowling season began with many eager girls, ready for practice every Tuesday and Thursday at Ladd Lanes. Three weeks after practice began, cuts had been made. Girls with the highest averages were selected so that both Varsity and Sophomore squads had seven members each. The season began under the direction of Coach Drechsel. Varsity and sophomore squads began to travel. The team started slow. The Devils bowled their first match against the two top ranked area teams, Dixon and Walnut. As the year progressed, we completed against L-P, La Moille, Ster- ling, Rock Falls, and Chillo-cothe. Many of the matches were auite close. The team would bowl a poor first game, then they would come back strong but only to lose by a few pins. The year came to a close with the Varsity posting a record of 3 wins and 10 loses. The sophomore team's record 1. A hot streak finds Bernadette Filip-pini rolling a 200 game against Dixon. 2. In a match against I.V.C., Christie Shearer is in deep concentration while waiting for her ball to return. 56 Bowling was 5 wins and 8 loses. The bowling season was also filled with invitationals and tournaments. Chi I locothe hosted the first invitational where the Varsity team finished 9th. The district was held at Ladd Lanes where the Red and White finished 3rd. The season ended with the Walnut invitational where the Devils finished second. The future looks bright as the majority of the Varsity team were juniors. 1. A look of curiosity is shown as Geri Yerly keeps score at a triangular meet against LaMoille and Walnut. 2.

Under the guidance of Coach Fannin a major rebuilding program was begun. A schedule was the major problem as the late start found few schools with open dates. The Devils were comprised of only one senior, three juniors, and nine sophomores. The limited size of the team made most of the matches on the junior-varsity level. The learning experience helped the Red and White to become a more competitive team. There were several bright spots, with the fine perfor- mances of Gary Faletti 11-4, Greg Blockly 7-7, and Bill Pozzi 5-6. The Red and White participated in several tournaments to gain experience with teams which have established programs. 1. Dave Hodge has reversed his man and receives two points for his efforts. 2. An arm back by Mike Riva puts his opponent at a disadvantage as he attempts to roll him. 3. Battling an I.V.C. wrestler, Greg Blockly attempts to gain a controlling position.

Early season conditions found the squad working out in the gym. Under Coach Vicini only so much could be accomplished indoors. The weather broke and four games were played in three days, then the rain came again. This became the pattern for the season. A game or two per week did not allow the team to reach its potential. The teams major draw back were the amount of physical and mental errors made each game. The Red and White had a hard time in the early innings of most games, spotting the oppo- sition several unearned runs. The hitting of Barry, Covington and Tieman gave Mark Michael the opportunity to drive home runs. The Devils finished the season with a record of 8 wins 12 losses. The Frosh-Soph had a disastrous season because of the weather. 1. Ducking to avoid the Streator first baseman tag, Randy Tieman is safe on a bunt. 2. The 1978 Frosh-Soph Baseball Team: front row; D.

Dedication was evident in the attitude of the team. Competition began with the Western Invitational and a preview of things to come. Junior John Matthews won two dashes and helped the mile relay team to a first while hurdler Bob Parnisari finished third. Week after week this group lead the Red and White. In The Red Devil Relays the Devils finished seconcf, two points behind Eureka. Polishing their performances the squad finished 5th in the conference meet and first in the State District Meet. The Red Devils, Matthews and Parnisari, competed in the state finals where John finished 2nd in the 220 yard dash, 3rd in the 440 yarn dash and 8th in the 100 yard dash. Bob finished 6th in the 120 yard hurdles as Hall placed 8th in the State Class A. •inn 1. Crossing the finish line, John Matthews pulls ahead to capture the 100 yard dash at the Red Devil Relays. 2.

The squad for the first time consisted of eight girls, an increase of two from past years. The large team meant that all formations had to be altered so the girls practiced throughout the summer. A highlight of the summer was the squad attending cheerleading camp at Lake Geneva, Wis. Competing with other schools, the Red and White received a second place award. Returning home, the varsity gave instructions to those freshman girls trying out for that team. Through out the year the Devils pep squad urged our team on to greater achievements. Keeping up spirit was a difficult job when the fans failed to support the team. Those nights when no fans were around, the girls sounded like a gym full of people and rallied for the Red Devils. 1.

Varsity Cheerleaders 65 Wrestling Cheerleaders added to pep squad Summer provided an opportunity for the Sophomore cheerleaders to attend camp at Illinois State University. Cneers and routines were perfected. Practicing after school two days a week, they continued to improve their style. The skills learned would be used to urge the successful Demon team to victory. The freshman cheerleaders were selected soon after school started following several weeks of instruction. Guided by the varsity squad the girls were taught the various jumps and manouvers. Election day came and the excitement was great. The squad made their first appearance at Ottawa. The first cheering at Hall came the following week. The girls had to make their own spirit because of the sparse number of fans attending the contest. The Board of Education decision to reinstate some activities cut in 1976-77 brought the need for an additional group of cheerleaders. The wrestling squad was comprised of freshman and sophomores girls. Because of tne newness of the sport there were not many fol- 1.

The mood of winter changes from the lively half time performances to the smooth sounds of concert. The big sound from the little band made its debut at the Christmas Assembly. The first community performance was of traditional classics on January 30. The State Solo and Ensemble Contest was held for the first time at Hall. The host group made a fine showing. Highlighting the concert season was the band's first place in the State Organization Concert for Bands. Forgoing formal dress and auditorium stage, the band gave a pop concert in the gym on April 21. Funds from the public performances and concession at the State Contests were to help pay for new uniforms which arrived in April. They will make Hall Bana a snappy outfit as they begin performing in spring ana summer activities. 1. Mr. McNulty directs the concert band in a Christmas medley at the Winter Concert. 2. Looking forward to the new marching season, M. Prokup, P. Silfies and G.

Kevin McNulty began to initiate a new feeling into the members of the marching band. Style could best describe the change. The band changed from an ordinary marching group into a snappy precision unit. Because of the small number of members a call went to the student body for help with two groups, tne Flag Corp and the Rifle Corp. Attired in a lively black and white uniform with a red sash, the Marching Red Devils made their debute in the annual Princeton Pork Days parade. Though small in numbers their sound was as big as the larger marching bands. The band performed at the halftime of the Chi 11 icothe game with a percussion drill set to music. The much heralded Homecoming show was aborted because of rain, it was finally performed at the Parent's night football game. The end of the football season 1.

Breaking away from traditional music, the group acquired a wide variety of selections. The first public performance was at the Veteran's Day plaque dedication. Performing at the Student Council Christmas program the group was well received by the stuaent body. Helping the chorus out an special occasions were eight boys. The chorus entertained the residents at Lekington House and then returned several weeks later for another performance. They also performed for the La- dies Club of St. Johns Church. Spring found the group placing second in the State Music Contest. Concluding a busy year, the chorus participated in the Memorial Day Services at Valley Memorial Park and performed at the 65th annual Commencement. 1.

Chorus 77 1-Try honor exchange students at a breakfast An antiquated consitution was the first project for president Brian Victor, beginning the year for the 1-Try Club. A committee reviewed the old requirements and changes were then brought before the club. The major point of order was the removing of participation in several clubs, along with scholastic achievements. Hall's foreign exchange stu- dents spoke to the group about their countries. They were also honored with a breakfast on March 21. The Modern Music Masters (Tri-M) were also active. Mr. Richard Fling, a former Hall teacher, spoke on the formation of Tri-M at Hall. The historical background was quite interesting to new advisor, Mr. McNulty. The Tri-M. for the first time, held two initiations, one during the winter, and another during the spring.

Mental Health Careers Club tour hospital lab The Future Nurses Club at its first meeting changed the name of the organization to the Medical Health and Careers Club. The change was necessated because of the ever expanding area of health related occupations. Activity highlighted the organi- zation as each month brought a field trip or a guest speaker. The MHCC group toured St. Margretts Hospital lab areas. The girls were given insights into the many various jobs which function as a total health facility. The various speakers presented information on physical therapy, 10 33 ambulance service and volunteer work in the hospital.

Plans for guest speakers were made. The treasury overflowed and the group voted to take a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry. The weeks quickly went by with little activity from club mem- bers. Paul Rooney was the first speaker to talk to the Science Club. Paul, a former Hall student, represented the University of Illinois and presented a slide show on the school's engineering program. The trip to the Museum of Science and Industry did not materialize. Transportation could not be found at a time when the majority of the club could be free. The Future Teachers of America was almost inactive as they did not have one meeting until late in the year. The FTA members helped in the annual Student Government Days sponsored by the Student Council. 1.

HAC Displays A Helpful Hand To The Community The Honory Activity Club was again quite busy. The club held monthly potluck dinners at each member's home. A new approach was attempted this year with an International cuisine theme. Fund raising was discussed and the school store returned for its second year. Students could buy last minute supplies from Mr. Pienta's cabinet before school and between classes. Throughout the school year the group neld bake sales. The annual Easter project was Easter Baskets for the needy. Two baskets of food were given in the area. May, the HAC broke from tradition and traveled to Summit, Illinois to attend Cabaret at the Candle Dinner Theater. Social activities were concluded with the year end initiation banquet at Bek's Supper Club. May 15, cadet members were initiated into the organization to end a very active year. HAC 85 Stage Crews contribute for successful plays In preparation for this year's plays, members of the Drama Club engaged in many of the backstage crews. The set crews helped build, paint and put up all the sets in every play. Each set was started early so they could be finished weeks before opening night. When the set was completed the unending job of finding props and costumes became a worry for crew heads when opening night came nearer and still many costumes were not found. The large make-up crew helped to put the stage make-up on when the cast was too nervous to do it themselves. Writing letters to other schools, calling the radio station, writing articles for the paper, taking pictures, selling tickets and putting up posters throughout the community and surrounding towns became the unending jobs of the publicity crew. 86 Drama Club unending jobs of the publicity crew.. Without their work the lay would be presented un-nown. The work done by each crew helped to add that special touch that made the plays presented at Hall High School a worthwild experience. Hall's Thespian Society demonstrated much activity this year in all the fields of the the- ater. In November the club enjoyed the musical Hello Dolly starring Carol Channing at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago. The high point of the evening was going back stage and meeting Carol Channing in person. The members went to various musicals performed by surrounding schools. All the plays were enjoyed immensly and ideas for different sets, costumes and possible musicals were usually discovered. The Thespians dominated the speech team with only one member of the speech team not being a Thespian. Each member of the troupe also supported the plays by either being on a crew or by being a cast member. 1. At the first play practice, Jim Bruno looks over the practice schedule for conflicts. 2.

Thespians 87 Cast and crew of Voices claim first at NCIC The speech team enjoyed a very successful year. Each tournament brought Hall recognition as at least one student placed at each of the six tournaments attended. Improvements were made by eacn member of the squad as the season progressed. The high point of the year was the District tournament, where the team as a whole recieved third place. Penny Holecraft, Debbie Lenhausen, Brian Victor and Rich West qualified for the Sectional tournament. The tough sectional competition found Debbie placing in the top three, in Prose reading. In the state competition Debbie placed 8th. Snowy weather forced the NCIC speech tournament to be rescheduled after state competi- tion. Hall's speech team again brought recognition as they received 5th place out of eleven schools. The debate team faced an inactive year with the team members competing only in three tournaments. A three week summer camp, helped varsity members Jim Bruno and 1. After returning from debate camp, Jim Bruno and Dawn Welty inform Miss Kotte of the competition they may be up against. 2.

The varsity team went 5-7 at sectional competion and Dawn and Jim recieved 8th and 9th place speaker awards respectively. Comprized of a cast of 5 and a set crew of 6, Hall once again presented a contest play. Under the direction of Miss Kotte the play Voices was developed for competition.________________ Ideas from the cast helped form a play which was different from all the rest. To prepare for competition, the play was performed for the student body and was well received. At the NCIC tournament Hall competed against such schools as Ottawa, and Geneseo. Receiving all star cast awards were Debbie Lenhausen and Sean Campbell. Over all the play recieved a ranking, from three judges, of 1-3-1, putting them in first place for the first time in Hall's history. District tournament found tne play claiming third place award. 1.

The Pep Club helped to make things happen both at home and when Hall played out of town. The Pep Club journeyed to the out-of-town football games in two buses; one for seniors and junior, the other for underclassmen. During basketball, only one bus was used. The fan bus always arrived with cheers of VICTORY being chanted from the city limits to the place of combat. To help pay the cost of transportation, the group, under the direction of Miss Lunn, held a tag day and sold red and white visors. The Letterman's club major activity was the sponsoring of the annual Faculty Basketball Game. Once again the lettermen were defeated by the faculty. Aside from the basketball game the club raised funds by selling programs during the Regional Basketball Tournament. X. Driving. Mike Wallaert attempts to make a layup during the faculty game. 2.

Following the selection of the 1977-78 squad practice began in earnest. Early in June the girls attended pom-pon workshops at Illinois weslyan University. The squad received three ribbons for outstanding performance. Summer rolled by quickly. Fall found the group preparing for the football season. Practicing twice a week for their half time performance. The Devilettes celebrated their 10th anniversary. All former girls were invited to a tea during the half-time of the Homecoming game. The girls performed along with the band for the Halloween and Christmas parades. Winter found the girls practicing in the lounge and cafeteria for their performances at the basketball games. The annual novelty dance was done to Be A Clown , as the girls dressed as clowns with balloons. 1. Performing for the last time, the senior members of the squad were presented corsages. 2.

Devilettes 93 Lounge Creates Problems For Student Council A week before school started the Student Council was at work. Projects for the year were discussed and decided upon. The first activity was a back-to-school watermelon bust and disco dance. The council rojects were numerous and am-itious. Activity calanders were distributed to all students and teachers. A project to have an assembly a month was a challenge as not many were available to fill dates. The Student Council again acted as the host organization for our foreign exchange students. Each exchange student became a member of the council and helped with many of the functions throughout the year. Special activities were held each month throughout the year. Honoring the Veterans of Hall who gave their lifes for our country were a grove of trees. Two of the trees had died and were not replaced. A special Veterans Day assembly was held for the rededication of the two new trees. Helping the needy in our community, the Student Council 1.

A Sweetheart Dance was held in February to break up the long winter months. Money for the various funtions was earned from donut sales and commissions from snack and soda machines. The council found the spring a very busy time. Five students, sponsored by the student coun- cil, participated in the Jerry Lewis Dance Marathon at I.V.C.C. Student government days were held again under the direction of the council's guidance. The hard work of advisor Mr. Steve Fannin and Vice President Debbie Lenhausen helped the council during a turmoil pe-riod. Student leadership and involvement in the group increased with a constitution chance which allowed an additional two members from each class to petition on to the council. As the school year came to a close the Student Council began preparation for the 1978-79 activity calander for another active year.____________________ M k 2TJJU . , , 1.

Student Council 95 Nils and Takashi graduate with 8 Hall Seniors The 1977-78 school year saw Hall hosting two foreign exchange students for the entire year. Nils Thidblom arrived from Norrkoping, Sweden and Takashi Saito from Fukushima, Japan. Nils host was the James Miller family. The Ben Vowels family hosted Takashi. Although there was a language problem, it seemed to be short lived. The students could be seen carrying on conversation with their new found friends. Who could forget Takashi and his Japanese American Dictionary as he coped with the fast talking Americans. The students participated in various activities during the school year. Nils was on the yearbook staff and participated in track. Takashi participated in baseball. All exchange students were honorary members of the student council. 1.

Once my host family was selected, a four-month correspondence began. Tales from America came to me from the Miller family. Excitement began to materialize for an exposure to the Great American Dream as time for me to leave arrived. The trip from Sweden took twenty-two hours. O'Hare Field was so large it looked like a small city. I changed planes for the flight to Moline. Arriving late in the evening of August 17, 1977, I was greeted by a large sign saying NILS THIDBLOOM. Riding back to Spring Valley, I became acquainted with my new family. After sleeping late brother Mike took me on a tour of Spring Valley. Three days later I registered as a student at Hall High School. Being from Sweden and a socker player, I was invited to try out for the football team as a kicker. The thought of not being involved in the action did not appeal and I passed on football. The first few weeks were a disappointment as many students did not realize I was an exchange student. The biggest problem was learning to think in the English language. A second problem was the American customs. Buying a new suit for the Homecoming Dance became a big experience for in Sweden they do not wear suits for dances. I was able to see some of Mid-America with trips to Michigan and Appalachia. All too soon my year at Hall was over. I left my many friends with a heavy heart. Highlighting this year was graduating and receiving my diploma from Hall High.______________________________ 1.

Foreign Exchange 97 Cold Weather Unreal To Exchange Students The Spring Valley Community hosted two foreign exchange students for three months. The first, Leticia Nobre from Rio de Janerio, Brazil. Leticia was hosted by the Jack McAdamis family and sister Patti. Leticia came to Hall through the Open Door Student Exchange Program and arrived in Decem- ber. The cold Illinois weather was unreal for Leticia and she had a hard time adjusting. The students and faculty soon made Leticia feel at home. The cold outside gave away to the warmth of Hall. Blending with the student body, Leticia began to learn the American customs. Serving as the Red Devils Mascot she cheered Hall Wrestlers. All too soon she had to return to her native land to finish her final year of school. 1. Leticia seems to enjoy working with clay during her Art class. 2.

Daniel was sponsored by the Youth for Understanding Organization. Before his arrival he underwent three days of orientation and sightseeing in New York. Com- ing from a rural area, Daniel was impressed by the largeness of everything he saw, cars, building, and the vastness of our country. Daniel also blended into the student body. The winter was quite an event as Daniel had not seen snow before. The coming of spring found our guest running as a member of the Hall track team. He competed in the dashes and relays. Summer found Daniel returning to live with his parents in Santiago, Chile. 3. Competing with the Varsity track team, Daniel warms up before running in the Bureau County track meet. 2.

A green staff greeted editor, Debbie Lenhau-sen. Workshops introduced the staff-to the ingredients of producing a yearbook. Staff members were exposed to picture cropping, layout design, headline counting, and finance. Funds, as always, seemed to resent a challenge to the year-ook. The staff again sold magazines and records of the Q.S.P. program. The annual Super Show slide program was an additional money maker. All too soon the first deadline approached and the crew began to work in earnest. The group quickly discovered that the two-hour Monday night work- shop did not allow time to compute assignments. Deadline week found staff members working free hours and nights to get the material out. The final copy and layouts brought anxiety as the long wait began. Nine months of work behind the staff awaited the arrival of the 1978 Hall Light to see the fruit of their labor. 1. Lisa Lunn and Lori Mlroux work diligently to meet their deadline assignments. 2.

The Dispatch appears weekly in the News-Tribune tabloid Teen-Trib. Under the direction of Co-editors Laurie Prostko and Lynn Schweikert, the staff kept a steady stream of information for the parents and friends of Hall High School. Deadline became a trial for sponsor Miss Watson as she scurried to get last minute typing done or to find a lost negative. Aiding the publications department were the small band of photographers. All photographs for the newspaper and the year- book were taken and processed in our darkroom. Many times a late breaking story would need a picture on a moment's notice. The staff would usually meet the challenge by giving up their free time to get the lab work done. The visual history of Hall has been recorded for all to see. 1.

Guest Speakers Highlight F.H.A. Meetings The Future Homemakers of American H.E.R.O. held monthly meetings that were designed to give insights into many occupations related to homemaking. Guests speakers discussed hair styling, skin and hair maintaince and used FHA members to illustrate their points. The program committee also had fun nights. A Halloween party along with a haunted shop would always be unforgetable. The splash party and BarBQ was endless fun. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ro-drig and Mr. Ocepeck and President Mary Campbell, the girls created many projects throughout the year. The section rally found the Hall Chapter rating with 20 first places, 10 second places and 2 third places. Funds were raised by selling Fuller Brush products and posters. The club also solicied for the March of Dimes. High lighting the year was the mother-daughter banquet. The guest speaker was Mr. Robert Mariarty the past state FHA president. 1.

Library up-dates school book collection The Library Staff has again been busy taking care of the everyday operation. Besides the checking of books and A.V. equipment, the group learned the operation of the new copy machine. A number of problems crept into the library's operation. The major item was the theft of magazines and paperbacks. The increased use of paperbacks in the freshman English Classes necessitated the enlargement of that section of books. A cut back in funds brought about the loss of a number of little-used maga- zines. The major project of the year was the up-dating of the school book collection. Books which showed wear were removed so that they could be repaired. The many small tasks kept the staff busy most of the year. 1.

The group, under the leadership of Barry Lehn and Mr. Briddick, also helped with community affairs. Tney participated in several Bloodmobiles oy setting up and taking down the tables. Money earned by the club was put back into the auto area. A new high pressure steam washer and a wet-dry vacumn cleaner were purchased. The club's major project was the renovation of the auto shop. Members could be seen scraping off old paint from equipment. They also repaired much of the broken machinery in the department. The shop was then painted at no expense to the scnool. The power group concluded their year with a banquet at The Ranch House. Highlighting the year was the naming of Jeff Pufhal Power Mechanic student of the year. Power Mechanics Club 109 students m 1.

Active planning by the class officers and sponsor Miss Watson led to committees being formed at the start of school. Quickly a band was hired, a theme selected, and plans for coordinating the various activities were made. The class of 1978 responded with a good turnout for the minimal jobs that had to be accomplished for a successful Homecoming. The float, which depicted a Carousel, finished in pastel colors and paper mache, was constructed at Valley Wholesale. In competition the pro- duction finished second. Decorating the gym was accomplished on Saturday morning. The conclusion of the dance found everyone tired but happy to have been a part of Homecoming 1977.

What would be done with our lives after graduation? The answer lay in the guidance department. Throughout the year, Mr. Car-ruthers talked with each senior to try and determine what the student would like to do after he leaves high school. Many alternatives were possible, joining the work force, going on to school, the armed forces, and even in domestic services. Seniors had the opportunity to talk with the representatives of three dozen colleges, trade schools, and nursing schools along with the various service recruiters. As spring approached, each senior had a definite idea of where he would go upon graduation. A decision on his lifes vocation had been made.

Exposure to the many extra electives offered twelve members of the Senior class the opportunity to graduate at mid-term. Five students, Debbie Anton- ino, Jean Bertrand, Beth Cas-siday, Tony Ponsetti and Elmer Wolsfeld enrolled at Illinois Valley Community College to continue their education. The seven remaining graduates, Rose Belcher, Kelly Boehm, Mark Bryan, Debbie Mitchell, Bob Nessa, Chris Swingle, and John Young, chose to enter the area labor force. Senior Class 117 High school years form pleasant memories Passing through Spring Valley that warm summer, I had an urge to stop in at Hall High School. It nad only been five weeks since my class of 1978 graduated. The campus, bathed in a layer of fresh cut grass, seemed strange. The school building with its errie quiet allowed me a few moments to reflect back over the meloncholy years that I had spent there as a student. The class of 1978 first contact with higher education was that August day we registered. The crowded halls found many stranqe faces. Elections united the class for the first time. Our class was the first with the opportunity to take Freshmen Biology and many of us accepted the challenge. As sophomores our life was complicated. A new responsibility and challenge came to us in the form of self-scheduling. An all out effort at Homecoming merged the class in both spirit and cooperation. Our class really put on a super Sadie with our new Dog Paten village. Out third year in school entered a new stage when we obtained Daniel Rap6 Jeri Ratajczak Thomas Redshaw Mark Reynolds Mark Rogge Jill Ruppert Timothy Sanford Thomas Schaub Gary Schlegle Adrianne Schultz Gary Schwarting Susan Scott Debra Soberalski Bruce Steinberg Christopher Swingle Mark Turner Benjamin Vowels Dennis Vowels Michael Wallaert Cindy Walter Dale Waugamon Lori Welbers Dawn Welty Elmer Wolsfeld Ronald Yattoni John Young 118 Senior Class the opportunity to participate in the Individual Initative Development Program. Some of the class were able to handle the program while others could not as grades fell. We earned enough money to pay for our highly successful prom. 1976-77 also was sad as school financial problems led to the cutting back of several sports. New challenges faced the class as our Senior year arrived. Minor problems, as putting together the Homecoming were easily solved. Major problems were such as, should I go to work, to college, to trade school, or get married. Class work and courses took on a new vigor as many prepared for college. The end of those four years was a simple graduation ceremony; so unimportant five weeks ago. Suddenly it became the most important part of my life at Hall. Turning away from the front door, I realized that I was leaving a part of my life behind.

Progress was rapid and in a short time several obstacles were overcome. The dance was to be held on Saturday, April 29, 1978 at the Hotel Kaskaskia with music supplied by Bree-zen . Finalization of plans brought about the need for money. A class meeting on February 7th kicked off the annuak pizza sale. The students and community again responded as several thousands of the frozen delicacies were sold. Funds were well-received and quickly spent on Prom favors and aecora-tions. D. Donnelly M. Engel R.

Looking ahead, problems of the world scared them. In order to better prepare themselves the class made plans for the future. A large number of juniors made use of the visits of college re- presentatives, trade schools, and armed force personel. Every school wanted to know a students potential. The guidance department offered the PSAT NMSQT test in November to all juniors. On Aprill, 1978 those juniors who planned on attending college were able to take the ACT test. The junior class was led by Jim Smoode, president; John Matthews, vice President; Jeff Janusick, Secretary; and Rick West, Treasurer. The class was under the guidance of Mrs. Pienta and Mr. Boroski.

The annual Sadie Hawkins dance held tence moments for the Sophomore class. A financial problem carried over from the freshman year. Through an all out effort by the class, money was raised. The largest problem found by the class was the first blizzard of the year. School closed because of drifts and as Saturday dawned the announcement came that the dance had been postponed. Props which had been placed in the lounge and gym had to be torn apart and stored. Finally after a month the dance preparations began again. The Hall gym again transformed into Dog Patch and the students of Hall High again enjoyed themselves to a fun evening. B. Bird C. Bishop C. Blair G. Blockley L. Boers K. Brady S. Dalton G. Dalzot S.

Michalski English takes on a new style The only course mandatory for sophomores was Oral and Written Communications. Oral Communication presented the ideas for communication with other people. To accomplish this goal, each student gave three types of speeches; demonstrative, informative, and persuasive. Every student gained new knowledge in this course. Written Communications taught students to express their emotions and imagination in creative writing. The course also involved the reading of several classic stories as Old man and the Sea , Midsummers Night Dream , and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer . P. Holdcraft J. Hoscheid S. H unton J. Jasper L.

Piana Sophomore Class 131 Financial problems plague Sophomore class A perplexing problem greeted the class or 1980 as school started. The treasury was without funds. Homecoming was only a few weeks away and a panic came over the class. Quickly plans were formulated for a bake sale to be held at Bi Rite in Spring Valley and Lunn's in Ladd. The sale of the baked goods helped. An ad- ditional ploy was charging each member of the class SI.00 to help with the immediate class financial woes. Finding a place to construct the float was solved when Baller-in's old garage was secured. A call went out for tools, chicken wire, and a hay rack. Supplies and volunteers were abundant. Quickly the theme was developed and the ambitious group cut lumber and wire and nailed the float together. Groups of girls were separating the various colors of tissue which found its way into float props. The labor did not seem like work, in fact, they found it rather fun. K. Podobinski R. Pozzi W.

Unlike the many small schools which serve Half the routine was a bewildering experience. Self-scheduling was exposed to them for the first time. They all liked the idea of being able to select the course and teachers of their choice. Early regis-traters were able to move through without any problems. Those freshman far down on the alphabet had more frustration. Classes were becoming filled. As each section of a class closed, the problems of rearranging a schedule became harder. The day ended with all class problems solved for the moment. Many of the new students were not satisfied and began to wonder about high school. Classes with old friends were not possible. Soon new friends were being made as the groups began to know one another. H. Cissell K. Colmone D. Conerton D. Corpus D. Crane M. Crickman J. Croisant G. DeArcos J. Delhotal C. Donahue J. Dunker P.

The class of 1981 seems to have a thrust for knowledge. The group as a whole checked out more reading material than any of the other classes. The wide selection of books, magazines and newspapers gave the students an opportunity to find their interests. The reading habits of the class were also reflected in the over due book list. Many students seemed reluctant to part with a good book. W. Hrovat M. Jablonski S. Janusick R. Johnston R. Kasperski J. KinczewskI L. Kinnamon B. Klein M. Klein K. Klug G. Knapp T. Knott M. Kohr B.

Many freshmen boys went out for tne football team, others were in band. Walking down the hall, if you happened to see a boy or girl you did not know, a quick asking to a neighbor brought their names. The weeks moved by quickly when Mr. Smith and Mr. Bergo, class advisors, called for petitions for class officers. The class of 1981 elected as their leaders, Greg Campbell, President, Sue Trevier, Vice-President, Julie Prokup, Secretary, and Janine Passini, Treasurer. Student Council members were Mary Jablonski, Shelly Liesse, Khristie Boehm, and Debbie Boehm. The election seemed to unify the class. Quickly they responded by helping with Homecoming decorations. Throughout the school year the class of 1981 supported the various athletic teams even when other fans were sparce. L. Parnisari J. Passini D. Pellegrini P. Penick J. Perino L. Peterson J.

Mr. Briddick was elevated to the vacant principal position. Mr. Briddick's transition from classroom to office was not an easy one. Discipline of the students was a prime concern and guidelines were established. Other problems included the student lounge and smoking on campus. Using a firm hand problems were resolved to the satisfaction of the school and students. The lounge was closed for two weeks and a smoking area was established for students. A student could always expect a smile and just punishment when sent to the office throughout the school year. 1.

Diversity of subjects best reflects Hall High School. Trying to have an offering of interest for all students can sometimes be a major problem. The business department presents a variety of courses for those interested in the business and secretarial areas. Subjects range from personal and vocational typing to business law, shorthand and marketing and sales. A novel approach to learning in the marketing and sales class is one where each student must develop a product. They must then sell it to their classmates. The sales pitches sometimes take on a carnival atmosphere. All students must take and pass a driver's education course. The program is set up so that each student is in the class when they reach 16 years of age. Faculty 147 Mary Ellen Plenta Dale Pienta Reading History Junior Class H.A.C.

Through the fine arts and language arts a student has the chance to improve his skills. The Art department provides instruction in the areas of pen, pencil, paste Ms, ceramics, oils, water colors, and leather crafting. The individual instruction allows for each student to reach their skill level. The English department is in a continual evaluation that has been upgrading the course selection. A student may go beyond the basic curriculm requirements. World Literature, creative writing, poetry, and various areas can be taken which are important to those students going on to college. 1.

The vocational programs offer courses in Data Processing, Commercial Art, Agricultural Mechanics, Food Service, Graphic Arts and Health Occupations. The many Math Courses allows students to progress to their fullest potential at Hall. Most students are encouraged to take three to four years of advanced math. The Foreign Language department allow the student to develop a speaking knowledge of French and Spanish. P.E. and Health are offered in coeducational classes.

The Athletic and Music Parents organization worked for the betterment of their areas. Tight money budgets did not allow luxury with tax payers money. When a need would arise, the parents organizations supplied a variety of money raising projects to buy these items. The Athletic Parents provided a large amount of equipment for the different sports departments. They also purchased a much needed movie projector. Funds for these projects were raised through the sale of bumper stickers, food and beverages at athletic events, and the annual pancake and sausage breakfast. The Music Department felt that the band needed to be brightened up. New uniforms, the first in many years were decid- 1.

To help raise money for the uniforms, the parents had a Mardi Gra Dance, a raffle for a side of beef, a tag day and a sox hop. The group also served on the Bureau County Beef Feeders annual meeting for the I.H.S.A. music contest. 1.
