Competitions began almost a week ahead when classes decorated the commons for the theme contest. On Monday Mr. Koch played the Mighty Wizard in a rendition of “Wizard Sez.” Tuesday found students blowing up bal- loons until they popped, and on Wednesday teams raced for the pot of gold and played musical chairs to mu- sic from the famous “Wizard of Oz” album. Winners added points to class totals. These activities combined with a “show your emerald green” dress-up day and a lollipop day added uniqueness to the traditional week. r Catching the beat, these senior girls enjoy dancing at the sock hop which followed the homecoming game.

Homecoming | | Following the Rainbow Highlighting every homecoming week are the powderpuff game and the pep rally. Even though bad weather caused Tuesday evening’s scheduled tricycle race to be cancelled, it couldn't dampen spirits for the powderpuff volleyball game inside the gym, where the sophomores captured the victory. At that game, Mark Rosen was chosen powderpuff queen, se- lected on the basis of beauty and talent. The annual pep rally, on Thursday this year because of a teachers in- stitute on Friday, found an array of motley dressed students who had dressed for Tornado Twister day by wearing their clothes inside out. With its usual popular skits, music and cheers, the pep rally left every- one, especially the seniors who had won the class competitions, in a homecoming mood. The spirit carried over to Friday evening where mum-wearing fans cheered, stomped and clapped to spur the Bulldogs onto victory against Jerseyville. But even the special halftime band show couldn't muster enough points as the Dogs went down to defeat, 25-9. 4 Buying a mum, an annual homecoming tradition, became a headache for junior Lisa Brusack who had to hand them out.

Entering under a gigantic rainbow spanning one end of the gym, twelve select juniors and eighteen seniors, greeted retiring queen Gayle Radmer and king Scott Koch. Then master and mistress of ceremonies Mr. John Hester and Mrs. Lynn Rutz made the announcements ev- eryone had been waiting for. Cindy Hester and Devin Wille were named special maid and escort and Cheryl Rehkemper and Brian Zobrist were an- nounced as the new reigning royality of HHS. By Monday the magic had disap- peared. The rainbow and its castles had disintegrated into a gymnasium and the ladies and gentlemen of the court once again became HHS students. Homecoming 1983 had been a brief, but magical, fun-filled week that would re- main as memories somewhere over the rainbow.

Brilliant colors, breakdancing, and bandanas; cabbage patch kids and curly hair; movies and Michael Jackson. What do all these things have in common? These are only a fraction of the new crazes which swept the halls of HHS and the corridors of the country during the 1983-84 school year. Walking bodies of bright pastels and outstanding black painted HHS. Polos with collars turned up, oxford shirts with skinny ties, wool sweaters, and loafers con- tributed to the “prep” look. On the contrary, cropped jeans, fishnet stockings, colored panty hose, and high-heeled pumps gave a “punk” look. Then there is al- Mini Mag 4 ways the casual “jean and t’shirt” look. Curly hair dominated the looks at HHS. Perms were in; straight was out. Some people chose to wear their hair in a popular style where the hair is cut around the ears, the top and the sides are chopped, and the back is left long. The box office was filled with popular movies which teens of HHS flocked to see. The Lori theatre had a full house during the times they showed popular movies such as “Return of the Jedi,”’ “‘Tootsie,’’ “Footloose,” “Christine,” and “Children of the Corn.” Some HHS students chose Goofing around, a few girls wear the latest in fashion crazes seen in Highland. to go to Collinsville or Edwardsville to see those movies which were sold out in Highland. Michael Jackson dominated the music scene when he swept all of the Grammy Awards. Right behind him stood Lionel Richie, Van Halen, Boy George, Quiet Riot, and Journey. Popular music was accompanied by a new dance style. Teens and younger kids threw their bodies onto the ground and went into strange gy- rations. They called this new dance style breakdancing. Whether the new crazes are yours or not, there is always some new thing that will catch your eye. Eud if thé Liné After twelve years of school, the class of 1984 could finally say they made it! Eleven years down and one to go. Finally you are a high school senior. Seniors are often advised to coast through their senior year and mark time until graduation. But for the Class of '84, the year meant more than marking time. Some students at HHS who had clearly met the requirements for graduation at last found time to take classes such as “I Can” or other ‘‘fun’’ and _ practical electives. For some who felt their high school curriculum was no longer challenging or offered nothing new, early graduation was the an- swer. Theresa Klein, who decided to take this route commented, “I decided to graduate early because | met all of the requirements and | wanted to work. Then after work my plans are to go to college.” Senior year also gave classmates a last chance to leave their mark as the Class of 1984, by winning team championships. Andy Prusa commented, ‘With the good season of the girls bask- etball season, the spirit really was there. The fans were there even at away games. It really made me proud of the school. | feel out of my four years here at HHS the spirit couldn’t have been better than in my senior year.” The senior class was drawn to- gether by even more unforgetta- ble experiences, from the drudg- ery of filling out college applications to the moment of re- ceiving college acceptances. Tina Maroon remarked, “‘It is a big step in deciding what to do after high school. | just hope everyone makes the right decision, whether it is college or work.” Together the seniors rallied in school spirit, in sharing the fu- ture, and in confronting the end of adolescence. Missy Putman re- marked, “I really can say that | had an outstanding senior year. The Jr. Sr. Prom was super and the winning of many sport teams really added a lot to the school y ear. Even though there wasn’t any school musical this year, it didn’t stop the seniors from hav- ing a good year.’’ The band concert of HHS TV turned out to be even better then the real MTV. Band senior Mark Rosen commented, “That is when | really felt that this was my last concert. The band seniors really had four good years, and the Phoenix Arizona trip was really worthwhile.” Graduation was one event an- ticipated and most seniors will al- ways remember when the wrong announcements were delivered. In spite of the first announcements, which said “Venice High School” instead of Highland High School,” graduation ceremony scheduled for June |, continued as planned. Tina Voegele summed it all up when she said, “That will really be the last time that we as a class are all together. | really wouldn’t want to belong to any other class but the 1984 class of Highland High School.” 1 Senior Brenda Korte stands with the rest of the class of 1984, during the graduation ceremony in the gym. Mini Mag’5 Teaching—More Than Just a Profession “There is so many neat things about teaching,’’ was business teacher Miss Cheryl Swafford’s reply when she was asked what she liked most about teaching. Qualifications for a teaching posi- tion at HHS are much more than obtaining a degree in education. The degree must be accompanied by the ability to discipline stu- dents while establishing a close friendship with them and an understanding for them. Sacrific- ing hours of their free time, in- structors at Highland High School give up much of their time with families to concentrate on school activities, such as grading papers and coaching as well as advising classes and clubs. A survey was distributed to the faculty to gather information on teaching likes and dislikes. The replies revealed teachers’ opinions on various subjects. When asked about advising clubs and classes, Mr. Thomas Koch, Ag teacher, responded, “‘It’s super—I enjoy working with stu- dents in and out of the classroom atmosphere.”’ Another teacher commented, “Advising a class or club both result in additional demands on one’s time. | have enjoyed both activities when | have gotten the cooperation and support needed from the stu- dents. You do get to know stu- dents better than you ordinarily would if they were just in your class or not in class at all.” Miss Swafford stated, “It gives you a different perspective of the student outside of the classroom. On the other hand, it gives that student a different perspective of you.” HHS faculty also proclaimed what they liked most about teach- ing. “Sharing the good that we know and passing it on to others who want to know about our Mini Mag 6 subject and grow in it.” “Being around and working with young people. It keeps one young,” was the response of one teacher. Another commented, ‘Being able to see students achieve and being part of that achievement.” One liked “the hours and summer break.” One of the questions asked the teachers was what one thing they would like to change about their teaching professions. Many replied that the salary should be higher. Others responses included, “Student respect and quick mouths which respond before thinking,” “The last two weeks of school,” “Il would like to see a better working relationship between students and teachers. | would like to see more students take their role more seriously.” Because of the size of enrollment at HHS, relationships between students and teachers are easily established. Students find themselves going to teachers for help with personal problems as well as difficulties with school. Classroom size is small enough that many teachers can work on a one to one basis with most. The faculty was asked how strong they feel a student - teacher relationship should be. Many teachers agreed that relationships should be strong, but most important they should have mutual respect. Another respond- ed, “I think that students should respect their teachers and use them as a resource person—not an excuse for failure. | think teachers should see students as individuals and give them as much positive support as possible to encourage learning.’ Others feel they should be “strictly pro- fessional, though closeness is not unacceptable.” When one educator was asked about all the tasks that are in- volved in teaching, he summed it all up by stating that “It’s all part of the job!” Outside the classroom, Mr. Tom Koch, Agriculture teacher, holds the head of a young calf while a group of youngsters look on. Goodbye Fun and Games It's changing before our eyes. The world is now saying goodbye to the era of video games and moving on to the more serious side of the computer industry. Principal Fred Singleton stated, “We're no more in an industrial society. Now 65% of the world is an information society. School's are trying to pass this on to stu- dents for help in future jobs.” The students at HHS began grabbing hold of the help offered by the school. The jump from 89 students taking computer classes in 1983 to 135 in 1984, showed the growing importance in academic instruction. Junior Tammy Imboden, data processing student, stated, ‘“Com- puters are taking over everything. If you know how to use them, you'll have a better chance at getting a job. They make things a lot easier, and with people being so lazy...” The importance not only affect- ed those who are planning to further their education in a busi- ness field, but was also seen in the agriculture department as stu- dents worked to raise money for their own computer. “Learning the basics here can give you a better advantage against others in your job field. What we're trying to do here is teach those basics,” stated Single- ton. The basics were taught in classes such as data processing, computer literacy and advance programming by Ms. Cheryl Swafford and carried over into Stumped by one of the school’s computers, junior Gordon Rogier dwells deep in his mind for the answer. Rogier is one of the fortunate students who owns his own computer. the math department through the interest of Mr. John Hester and Mrs. Jeanne Probst. The question of how the school could manage to finance the growing field of computers is one that was often asked. Faced with the problem of the computers be- coming out-dated, the school wrote for grants and used part of the student activity fund to pur- chase new equipment. Education Plus also helped in any way they could by supplying softwear. The computer has also begun playing a large part in the smooth operation at HHS. Moving from a semi-computer system in 1983, the school converted to their own in house computer system, to speed up averaging grades and distribut- ing report cards. Mini Mag 7 —s Hush Over the Crowd A spotlight shined on an empty theater in ’84, as HHS faced no spring musical. No curtains opening. No spotlights or musical numbers. No leading actor or actress or even a supporting cast. No applause or standing ovation from the audi- ence. When it gets right down to it, it all means no school musical. For 16 years the musical has been an annual event at HHS, dating back to 1967 with “Bye, Bye Birdie.” In the years that fol- lowed, the musical gained immense popularity with the stu- Mini Mag 8 Falls dents and community. Yet, in the 83-84 school year, a change was made; this was the year there would be no musical. According to principal Mr. Fred Singleton, several reasons brought about the decision for no musical. With the leaving of Mrs. Sue Hill, drama teacher, two years ago, the problem of finding someone “in house” or in the school, to do the directing arose. Faced with this problem in the 1An empty theater faces the set from the 1983 musical titled “The King and |,” but in '84, the empty theater will face an empty stage. 82-83 school year, the school looked to the outside for help. Graciously stepping in to take the reins of directing was Mrs, Shirley Schaeffer, who did an ex- cellent job,” stated Singleton. Yet, problems became noticable during the 6-8 weeks of getting ready for opening night. The largest problem seemed to be filling the gaps, between the students, director, and the school system. Singleton worked to close those gaps, but due to health problems in '84, he was unable to take on the responsiblities that accompanied working with an outside director. A low rate of enthusiasm also played a large part in cutting the musical this year. In '83, the school was forced to have more tryouts then expected due to lack of participation from the stu- dents. This lack of enthusiasm could play a large part in the coming years. Singleton stated, “We'll give it a shot next year and if we can’t get a full cast, we may go to every other year.” For years the musical has pro- vided an outlet for students not involved in sports, band or any other form of activity. It gave these students a chance to show their talents to the public. Junior Kyle Schumacher stated his opinion on the issue. “I was really mad_ that there wasn’t one. It gave people something to do in the spring when things are dwin- dling down. It serves as an out- let.” Singleton stated, “The public is amazed at the talents students have. Outside people see students in a different light, | enjoy that.” 49 953 ad The year re-introduced the book, “1984,” as well as the Olympic games. As the old Year of '83 flew by and the cork of a champagne bot- tle was released, it was time to begin the year with the title 1984. Some people decided that this book 1984. In 1948 an Englishman named Eric Blain, under the pen name of George Orwell, wrote a novel about the future. He then titled the book 1984. Since that time the novel has appeared in many high schools across the country. The interest in this clas- sic became enormously high this year as many readers rexamined Orwell's predictions. The book, though, does not capture the reality in which our society and government operates today. It does, however, touch upon current issues such as politi- cal cover-up and nuclear war. Kim Kaminski, who read the book for a composition report commented, “I think everyone should read this book. It is so in- teresting to read. | really learned a lot from it.” Ironically, the book discusses nuclear war in one section and growing concern over the chance of nuclear holocaust, led to a T.V. movie titled “The Day After.” It was a television show that forced the viewers to experience the effects of a nuclear war. It reveals the average American go- ing about their day, when in the background a half-heard T.V. bul- letin reports on nuclear weapons. Then comes some of the most horrifying footage ever shown on a network TV. Mrs. Highlander, the school librarian, remarked, “I think that it was an outstanding footage on nuclear war. | learned a lot in just those two hours. | think ABC’s footage on it was really interesting, but | do hope that it never ever happens.” Also making headlines, were the winter and summer games of the 1984 olympic games. Continous snowfall delayed ski- ing events of the winter olympics in Yugoslavia, but when it was time to begin, the U.S. was ready. American skier Bill Johnson earned the ULS. its first gold med- al in the downhill. Debbie Arm- strong also brought home a gold medal in the women’s giant sla- lom. Figure skater Scott Hamilton brought home a gold for the U.S. In the women’s figure skating competition, Rosalynn Summers, the U.S.’s leading women skater, narrowly lost to Germany’s Katarina Witt. Following the victorious U.S. hockey team of the I980 olympic games, the 1984 U.S. hockey team had a lot to match up to. Unfortunately they didn’t match the record as they finished 2-2-2 for a seventh-place finish, the lowest ever. And finally in the men’s slalom, three-time overall World Cup champion, Phil Mahre, brought home a gold med- al just ahead of his twin brother Steve Mahre, who took a respective second. In the end, the u.S. team brought home a total of eight medals, four gold. The summer Olympic games were held in Los Angeles, California, and before the games even began, the Russians already shocked the world by pulling out of the summer competition. Mini Mag 9 Juniors Angie Lutostanski, Patti Young and Kyle Schumacher, along with freshman Annie Lutostanski help unload boxes filled with fruit that the band sold to raise money. HHS Lacks Money It was the °83-’84 school year that felt the first effects of the referendum which failed in ‘83. Yet, after many talks of cuts, just how much actually did suffer from the budget? “Most of the changes weren't apparent to the students,” stated Principal Fred Singleton. The most obvious were cuts concerning classes. Several classes offered one or two years are no longer being offered. Singleton commented that there had been a 5% reduction of classes alone in social studies in three years. Along the lines of the academic cuts were the cuts in staff members. Singleton also felt low teacher salaries revealed the low budget that the school faced. Sin- gleton stated, “We have a good, quality staff, and we're very lucky to have them. But we're having trouble competing with industry and we could lose teachers due to the salary.” ment was raise he themselves. The football team selling Pizza Hut coupons, the co- op students selling Dankin animals or the band selling fruit or coupon books showed the necessity for groups to raise money on their own. Yet, most groups wouldn’t be anywhere without the generosity of others. Sports were heavily supported by the Booster Club, while donations from people such as Mr. Louis Lutostanski, Mr. Sherrill Hampton, Mr. Carl Basler or Mr. Ralph Korte helped provide a better education for those in the industrial art department. A strong supporter of the school is the whole community itself. Purchasing the items that stu- dents sell, as well as paying taxes, the community enables the educa- tional process and activities to continue. Senior Ray Foster noticed the cuts in one of his business classes. “When your up in the business machines and you want to run copies of anything, they want you to use the old paper from Scott Air Force Base instead of the new paper in the nice packages.” The cuts will continue until a solution is found. But until then students will continue to be forced to fund their activities. 4 Band director John Heath, up to his neck in fruit, looks on as sophomore Stephanie Hosto adds one more box of fruit to the enormous stack. The school has been forced to buy only the necessary items. Clubs and sports found the only way to get supplies and equip- Mini Mag 10 SIOGANMANiA in 84 Slogans play a large part in the life of a student, and a few seem to be the more popular. What's in a slogan? Is someone trying to say something important or is it just a gimmick enticing students to buy buttons, bumper stickers or a any other items that bear a few words of wisdom, or not so wise as the case may be. Commercials play a large part in slogans. Trying to sell an item with a slogan is the advertisers’ intent. The largest and most popular saying in 1984 became “Where’s the beef?” a slogan that the fast-food restaurant Wendy’s possessed in an attempt to sell their burgers. This saying soon appeared on buttons and shirts. Competing in the battle for fast- food business were slogans like Burger King’s ‘‘Broiling beats frying,”’ or McDonald’s ‘Good Morning. McDonalds and you.” In the contrasting spotlight are the diet soda slogans that think light is best. “Diet Pepsi, just one small calorie” became the hit slo- gan for Diet Pepsi with competi- tion coming from Diet 7-Up’s “No caffeine. Never had it, Never will.” Bumper stickers, a form of traveling billboard, gave individ- uals a personal form of advertis- ing as well as expressing their true feelings. “Leave it to -Bea- ver,” “Il love New York,” and “I love Michael Jackson,” were just a few sayings that garnished cars Seanad 7 creep . 2 : aM 2 gi ire toe Sd , Braver. Garnishing the car, this “Leave it to Beaver” bumper sticker found its place on Robbie McCord’s window. in the student parking lot. Also assisting in self-expression were buttons that decorated the shirts of many students. “I'm the one your mother warned you about,” “No Problem,” and “I love my Saint Bernard,” were just a few of the many sayings that traveled through the halls of school. Another popular item of expressing oneself was T-shirts. Wearing a shirt bearing a person's favorite college, a concert from the night before or a nickname became a very popular item among the students. Mini Mag |!

For many of Mr. Steven Moore’s psychology students the chance to study hu- man behavior came at the end of the school year. The psych students had the choice of projects they would like to do. They could travel to the elementary school to work with the grade school kids and study their behaviors, assist with early childhood screening, do research papers or think up their own project. Those who chose to travel to the grade school did so for a pe- riod of six weeks, where they ob- served the behaviors of a child or a group of children. Not intended to change the Special Reminders Well now the movie is over and you begin to exit the theater. Suddenly you realize that in your pocket there is that ticket stub that you received at the begin- ning of the movie. Now the real challenge comes. What do you do with the ticket stub? Wait! Don’t toss it into the waste basket, but turn it over and write down the movie, where it was or maybe who you went with. Ticket stubs serve as special reminders. They might show that you saw “Footloose” more times than anyone else or that you were the first in Highland to see “Re- turn of the Jedi.” One student, sophomore Maura Brockmeier commented, “I write what movie or concert that | have seen on the back of the ticket stub and then | put them into a big shoebox for later references.” Another sophomore Jackie Klaus remarked, “I keep my ticket stubs in my scrapbook to remember what movies | have seen. Then | may casually look through them on a rainy day.” To some, ticket stubs are just reminders of what movie they saw, but to others they may evoke personal memories. thoughts and lifestyle of the child, the project dealt mainly with observation and recording of data.

But, rising temperatures caused doors of education to dismiss early which allowed gates of relief to remain open. Temperatures, which had climbed into the hundred’s throughout summer months, reached a high of 105 on August 20. They showed no signs of re- lenting even after school began. When Junior Liz Weiss was asked how she conquered the heat, she replied, “Well, | kept good hours at the swimming pooll” While August brought heat, De- cember hit with record breaking lows with the mercury dipping down to the ten below zero mark.

Giving Seniors Insight On November 9 most seniors were not present in their first hour classes. Were they all sick? Skipping? The truth is, that Wednesday these seniors partici- pated in Career Awareness Day sponsored by the Business and Professional Womens Club and the National Honor Society. At the end of October, sheets listing different types of jobs, were given to each senior. From these sheets, each student could choose three fields of work. The BPW reviewed these sheets, and, by contacting local businesses, as- signed each student a business related to one of the three fields requested, Instead of reporting to first hour, the seniors were on their Mini Mag 14 way to “work.” The idea behind Career Awareness Day, is to give students some insight as to what it is like to actually do the type of work they are interested in. The fields ranged from accounting to engineering to veterinary work. The only problem encountered by a few students is that they found the businesses were only remotely related to their fields. Besides this slight dilemma, it was a very successful day. Most of the seniors enjoyed the day and became more aware of the work involved in their possible careers. Senior Bill Stoff looks on as an employee of the Highland News Leader shows him how to typeset. freeze on some HHS student’s holiday activities. Senior Cheryl Rehkemper commented, “I had to stay away from society because it was so cold.” Preceded by a springlike thaw in late January, February brought an unscheduled five day weekend to HHS because of drifting snow. Although delightful to most, early dismissal due to hazardous roads led to disappointment for the girl's basketball team whose long waited senior night was cancelled. April 3 marked the day of the worst hail storm in 10 years. Al- though hail piled up like snow on the streets surrounding HHS, it caused no apparent damage. A late spring sent rain almost daily and on practically every weekend until school was out. Once again fickle Mother Na- ture showed who was in control. Ending Publication After 30 Years “Get your Paw Prints, Friday during 7th hour. Only 25¢.” Dur- ing the '83-’84 school year, this was one phrase that never made the daily announcements. For the first time in over 30 years, the school newspaper wasn't to be produced or distrib- uted periodically throughout the year to the students or faculty. Changing from The Bulldog, the name it began with, to the Paw Print in the 1960's, the newspaper has provided everyone with news and information about the school. Yet, for several reasons, stu- Not quite a walk-man radio, the portable radio serves the same purpose for Mike Nelson during final exams. dents and faculty were to rely on the daily announcements, the VCR crew and their “HHS News”, or by word-of-mouth to gain infor- mation on the happenings around school. Hurting the continuation of the paper was lack of interest from the students. The number of the students wanting to take the class was too small to justify scheduling class time. So for the '83-’84 school year, the Paw Print ended its publica- tion, hopefully to regain it in the years to come. He slowly relaxed in his chair. Small, concealed headphones en- circled his head. He carefully reached down to his side and pressed a shiny, metallic button that with a click, disappeared into a 34” x 5%” box that clung to the waistline of his pants. Sudden- ly his hand rythmatically beat the top of the table and his body joined in, swaying in harmony with the beat of his hand. He was taken away, lost in a world of mu- sic. Call it a fad, call it a faze, but whatever it’s called, the walk-man radio began making its place at HHS. The 1982-83 school year was the last year involved in the publishing of the Paw Print. WabkMan Fever Students walked through the halls, quietly studied or enjoyed lunch as they listened to their fa- vorite tape or radio station. The walk-man radio became an ingenious invention as it provided a student with his her taste of music during study hall or exams, without bothering anyone else around. The name provides a misleading picture of the item though. Some were equipped with an AM FM ra- dio, yet others were built as a small cassette player, and for the elaborate music enjoyer, the small box frame contained both a radio and a cassett player. Mini Mag 15 what ° in, The styles of clothing are grasp the latest fashions. Year in, year out fads come and go, and the fad that seems to change the most often is the style of clothing. Whether trying to get the look seen in movies such as Flashdance, or the “GQ” appear- ance, students are often ones try- ing out the new styles. A new look that hasn’t been seen in schools for awhile began showing up this school year. Ties and sports jackets for the guys and dresses for the girls began blending into the school scene. Senior Andy Frerker stated, “It’s a change from what everybody else wears. | don’t want to be like everybody else. Anyway, it puts a little class in your life.” Another popular look in the halls became the new Flashdance look. A look that took off after the box office smash movie Flashdance made its debut on the endlessly changing, and only a few students could screen. Sleeveless shirts, torn sweatshirts, leg warmers, and handerchiefs wore around the neck or on a part of the leg were often found on students. A con- tributor to this appearance was Michele Korte who had this to say, “It improves your image by devel oping a style that’s all your own. It’s the new style and wearing the new style helps you look up-to-date.” Another popular look became the preppie style incorporating Izod and Raulph Lauren fashions among others. Guys and girls alike wore sweaters bearing the aligator or polo emblem or even the fashionable argyle style. A large admirer of this style, music teacher Mr. John Heath, com- mented, “When | was growing up in my impressionistic years, that was the clothing worn.

The clothing look will continue to change and there will be those who follow the changes and those’ who hang on to tradition. It’s just a matter of taste and the desire to stand out. Although dress fads come and go, casual, comfortable jeans have remained favorites of most students. HOWARD W.

Expressing Feelings On May 4, some students found just the right way to express their feelings. When you think of sunny spring days with a nice breeze blowing through your window, of course you also think of flowers. Specifi- cally daisies. And then you think, | wish someone would send me some daisies,” or “I'd like to give that person some daisies.” These wishes were granted when the National Honor Society sponsored “Daisy Day” on Friday, May 4. Students were given a chance to express their feelings towards others by giving their friends or favorite teacher a “breath of springtime.” Friday morning at 7:30 am the daisies were picked up and brought to school to be sold for 35 cents a piece or three for a dollar. Little did the 300 daisies know, that before first hour be- gan, they would all be purchased and given away to loved ones and friends. Many students turned away with disappointment as they discovered that there were no more daisies left. Glancing down halls and into classrooms, students could see small patches of pink, white, blue, and yellow, lying on desks and in vases, which were also sold by the National Honor Society. In spite of inflation, students still had enough money to express their feelings by saying it with flowers. ‘ene Chargieg the Loo at Kepoot Card fine Time for a change at HHS. The school year of '83-'84 brought about many changes to the students and faculty. One noticeable change happened every nine weeks around report card time. The school changed the format on the report cards offering more information in addition to the grade received in class. Now the students can see his - her grade point average, semester average and whether or not the grade was a plus or minus. The change came about because the school switched to their own “in home” computer system. Re- port cards were figured and dis- tributed quicker and offered more information. Principal Fred Single- ton said, “We generated more in- formation to where the student stands. We speeded up the whole system too. Now the school can begin figuring the cards on a Tuesday and have them out on a Thursday.” Distribution also was done dif- ferently then in the years past. The report cards were mailed ev- ery nine weeks to the student’s home instead of being mailed on only the second and fourth nine weeks while being handed out to the students in person on the first and third. Mini Mag !7 Behind the Scenes They’re the men and women behind the scenes, always ready to help. Here they come to the rescue. No, not a knight in shining armor, but a custodian dressed in gray bearing their wrenches, screw- drivers, ladders or mops to make HHS a cleaner and safer place to be. They're the quiet men and women who give of themselves and their services without the ut- ter of complaints. Day-in-day-out they pick-up after reckless stu- dents, fix anything that breaks and keep clean the halls and classrooms of HHS. Early in the morning they ar- rive, preparing for the mob of students who will rush into the school at 8:15 and out at 2:55. And after the motley crew of students leave, they quietly vacuum and clean-up for the next day that lies ahead. Then off into the sunset they head. Mini Mag 18 Feeding the troops of students is left to the dedicated cafeteria workers who put in their time preparing a menu, cooking the food and cleaning up the kitchen and the commons after noon rush hours are over. Under new management, the cafeteria workers as well as the students saw many changes oc- cur. From decorative posters and signs concerning health, to fruit punch to a hostess snack stand, the cafeteria took on a new im- age. Also free gifts were given away in raffles periodically throughout the year by the cafe- teria, as students received raffle tickets for purchasing certain type lunches. And finally, for a change, students could often see the cafeteria commemerating a certain event as soft music could be heard faintly in the background, setting the perfect atmosphere for dining pleasure. 4 Getting ready for the lunch hours, Janette Matlock prepares a few things that have been listed on the menu. i John Wesselman, a custodian at HHS, vacuums the commons after the mad chaos of students have left the school for another day.

The date was Sept. |, 1983 and the flight, scheduled to fly from New York to Anchorage, Alaska and finally to Seoul, Korea, would nev- er complete this schedule. Enroute from Anchorage to Seoul, the Korean plane, a Boeing 747, veered off course slightly. The pilot evidently thought he was still on course and did nothing to change it. The new course brought the plane towards the Soviet Union and at 1:00 p.m., flight O07 was detected over the Kamchatka Peninsula by Soviet ra- dar. The Soviet launched war planes to track O07 visually. The Korean plane maintained its course and eventually achieved radio contact with a Japanese, airport, which was supposed to track OO7 over Japan. But 007 was not over Ja- pan and did not, at this time, Videos, Craze Hf the 80's most popular fad to hit “Rock of Ages,” top the overwhelming videos by Michael Jackson.

Some of the more popular videos range from Def even appear on Japanese radar. Flight 007 was, in fact, flying towards Sakhalin Island, an island northwest of Japan which houses several Soviet military bases. As 007 came upon Sakhalin, it was finally picked up by Japanese radar but it was too late for them to help. At this time a tracking MiG 23 fired an air to air missile which scored a hit on the plane. On Japanese radar, the plane dropped drastically and minutes later disappeared completely. Of the 269 passengers and crew members aboard, none sur- vived.

The w Picture yourself walking into HHS for the first time. As you step from the familiar feeling of your car onto the hard blacktop of the parking lot, your stomach muscles become tight and twist into knots. When you approach the sidewalk which leads into the building, you see, strung across the pavement, two metal chains that prevent you from walking di- rectly onto the sidewalk. Do you step over them? Do you walk around them or do you go under them? After you overcome this first obstacle, you see that there are two sidewalks leading into the building. Which one should you take—the one on the left or the one on the right? You choose one and proceed on your way. When you open the doors into the school, you are hit with the sounds of students talking and laughing as they send weird glances in your direction. You have a strange feeling of not fitting in. At which table will you sit? This is yet another decision you as a new student must make. Melissa Putman and Brian Dean, two new students at HHS, both agreed that making new friends was the hardest part about mov- ing to a new school. When Missy Robertson, another new student was asked what was hardest for her, she replied, “Say- ing good-bye to old friends.” Missy likes HHS and feels, “You have to go a long way to find someone that you don’t like.” All three students had a posi- tive first impression of Highland High School. Mini Mag 26 “Cele Korte, please come to the office.” Every student at HHS has heard this call at one time or another. But who are the voices behind the innercom? They are Lynn Rutz, Sherry Szoke, and Terry Frey. These secretaries type, file, do attendance, take care of all kinds of orders, talk to just about ev- eryone, and also answer the phone. Sherry Szoke commented, “‘l like my job because there is al- ways something to do and it is never boring.” The thing she likes least about school is registration, but she likes the kids. She also said she and Lynn answer many calls about weather from parents and deliver a lot of messages to students. Last, but not least, Mrs. Szoke commented, “We just try to keep things in smooth running order.” Terry Frey, another secretary, works in the guidance depart- ment, so her job is a little differ- ent. “A lot of what | do is done on the computer,” Part of her job is doing schedules. She also fills in as the school nurse when the nurse is gone. She types materials for college reps whenever they come to visit, and schedules ap- pointments for counselors. “I like my job. There really isn’t much that | don’t like to do,” she com- mented. The secretaries do more than most students realize. They as- sume many detailed responsibili- ties that keep the school running efficiently.

These two play a large part at HHS. The band this year made many ac- complishments and received numerous awards. In October, they journeyed to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, where they swept a sec- ond place trophy in the street parade competition. To complete the day, they presented a pre-game show for the Saluki crowd. During concert season the large concert band gave their all at the Organizational Contest in Nashville, and received a first place rating. They were then invited to the state compe- tition held at U of | in Champaign-Ur- bana where they placed third in their class. Choral students also had a successful season. Individuals excelled at the State Solo and Ensemble concert. Mrs. Clayton took the Swing Choir, Mixed Chorus, and Treble Choir to the Orga- nizational Contest. The Swing Choir danced their way to the judges hearts and received a | rating; the Treble Choir placed first and the Mixed Cho- rus took second place. Three students were selected to attend All-State this year. Becky Saul, senior, performed in the All-State Jazz Choir for the second year; Lisa Brusack, junior, sang with the All-State Honors Chorus and Greg Braswell, senior, sang with the All-State Concert Choir.

Band Chorus 4 a Music Makers Highland High School's Band always seems to be raising funds for some ma- jor activity. This year its goal was to raise $10,000 for new band uniforms. The campaign started in the fall with a coupon book sale and was followed with grapefruit and oranges and cheese and sausage sales. The annual magazine drive and the chicken dinner also helped the band raise the much-needed money. Although fund raising is important, the main function of the band is to provide its members with a musical background. Divided into two seasons, during the fall the band focuses on marching and preparing pregame and halftime football shows. Each show is entirely different and involves new skills and maneuvers. During the winter the almost 160 member group divided into two concert groups. While preparing for its three annual concets, members also participated in pep bands for all home basketball games. Individuals also brought home I9 medals from the state solo and ensemble contest.

Mrs. Clayton will be missed by all her students as well as former students and faculty members. This year, the Treble Choir and Swing Choir received a first place rating at the choral contest while the Mixed Chorus re- ceived a second place rating. Top Swing Choir: Rob Driemeyer, Lisa Brusack, Keith Klenke, Bernie Weber, Anne Livingston, Jeff Gall, Matt Homann, Dawn Steiner, Kyle Schumacher, Becca Saul, Angie Lutostanski, Lesa Krause, David Lancye, Dani Coffee, Tanis Wildhaber, Greg Braswell, Annie Lutostanski, Pat Robinson.

The Best of Times “It was the most enjoyable prom I've ever been associated with, even when | was in high school. It was outstanding. | had a real good time.” This was ju- nior sponsor Frank Stillwagon’s reply when questioned on what he thought of the 1984 Junior-Senior Prom. Careful when choosing a theme, the Class of °85 decided that they were going to make their prom “The Best of Times”. Advisor Barry Thomas began checking on details to make the night very special, “This way, we can expect more next year when the juniors plan for our prom.” Preparation for April 27, began early and went full force for six months. New ideas came into exis- tence, were voted on and passed by the class. A meal was to be catered before the actual dance with valet parking, which included many parents’ as helpers for the evening. Friday April 27, the night everyone had been waiting for, finally arrived. For those who purchased meal tickets, festivities began at 7:00 when fathers in top hats, garters and white gloves waited to park cars. Inside mothers in uniform served prime rib and shrimp. When the rest of the guests arrived at 8:00, music, provided by Magnum, got underway. Even though it was time for the band to take a break, the prom-goers helped the seniors remi- nisce with a slide presentation put to- gether by Mark Reaka. Post prom activities provided a free night at Leisure World paid for by parents of the community. Promgoers could take advantage of all facilities. Surprised yet overjoyed by the acceptance of the new ideas and pro- viding a perfect night to many, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Stillwagon, Mrs. Michalick, and Mrs. Weiss all agreed that they had a hand in making this prom “The Best of Times”. AMr. Zobrist parks a Corvette with pride as other chauffeurs watch with envy. Junior adviser Mr. Thomas and wife did an enormous amount of work to make the prom successful. A White tableclothes, silk roses, and china made the ballroom just like a fancy restaurant. j Along with a chef, waitresses served the meal of prime rib and shrimp.

V Junior promgoers discuss plans made for the night ahead which could include a visit to Leisure World. Band Council, Chorus Officers, YFC, and Friends of the Media Center exist primarily to serve others and make life easier for them. In an effort to keep a large group like band unified, band members took their ideas and complaints to the Band Council who then discussed them with Mr. Heath. Chorus Officers took attendance at all chorus practices and assisted Mrs. Clayton in oth- er ways. YFC provided an oppor- tunity for members to gather and discuss issues in a Christian atmosphere. During National Library Week, Friends of the Media Center planned a week of activities to entice students to use the library. Members worked throughout the year to assist Mrs. Highlander in keeping the library running smoothly. 4 Seniors Jill Rinnert and Connie Korte do their job of taking attendance at all chorus practices. 4D Mrs. Jenna Highlander works at the desk in the library with the aid of senior Shelia Marquardt. Mr. John Heath directs the band at the annual spring pop concert. Aside from being advisor for YFC, Mr. Don Clossen has many other duties as well.

Art Club, Student Council, and FFA helped students get involved. They sponsored activities that provided students with opportuni- ties to plan and participate in these activities. One of the major activities was Homecoming which was planned by Student Council and the Art Club helped with the decorations. Student Council also sponsored two dances during the year. FFA held their annual slave auction where members’ services were auctioned to farmers. Art Club members took field trips and sold their wares at the annual art fair. French Club, German Club, Spanish Club, and International Fellowship provided students with opportunities to understand oth- ers. Members of these clubs were introduced to new languages and cultures. These clubs took field trips, participated in language days to increase their knowledge, and sold suckers with foreig n phrases on them. The three foreign exchange stu- dents enabled HHS students to learn about people from other countries. They were special guests at the International Fellowship annual banquet. This banquet also helped the foreign language classes to understand each other better. Mrs. Christine Warner, advisor for German Club, talks on the phone in the guidance area. Junior Phil Gundlach participates in the puppet show that German Club gave. V Rather than meet as a single club, Spanish Club met by classes.

NHS sponsored career aware- ness day so seniors could learn about business in the community. Mrs. Debbie Caulk, adviser, and other Model U.N. members leave for the mock session at McKendree College. To prepare for life after high school, clubs like FMCC, Office occupations, Distributive Educa- tion, and Science Club gave stu- dents opportunities to look to the future. FMCC held a blood drive and encouraged eligible students to donate blood. Office Occupations and Distrib- utive Education planned their an- nual banquet for employers who participate in the Co-op program. Science Club planted trees outside the school and took field trips to expand their knowledge of career opportunities in the field of science.

Making sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible is the main concern of the HHS administration. Believe it or not, they are responsi- ble for other jobs than just making sure students clean up after lunch hours, keeping them from wearing shorts dur- ing the warm months and getting in that quick kiss between classes. Aside from establishing new rules and poli- cies, each of the four administrators also teaches classes during the school day. Mr. Dale Schmalz, who also works in the guidance area says, “My biggest responsibility in keeping this school running smoothly is making student schedules, student grade cards and keeping student and faculty permanent records,” Although the secretaries are not considered part of the administration, it would be difficult to keep things running smoothly without them. They relay messages and take care of the daily business. Terry Frey, guidance secretary says, “I feel like | have to know a little bit about everything. My biggest job is staying one step ahead.” For any type of problem or question any student would find the correct so- lution by consulting the authori- ties—the HHS administration.

Putting on the finishing touches, Robbie McCord prepares his art work for the annual Art Fair Band, Chorus, and Art are just some of the examples of fine arts. This year, many students are a part of these fine arts. In art, students can draw or con- struct a piece of art, and in music, stu- dents can create and compose music. This year, students began to realize how these two arts tie together. People think of music as an art when they hear it playing at a concert, on a radio, or when they play it themselves. When people create art, they try to create it in a pattern, similar to music. In the eyes of some, art is made in a rhythm similar to their favorite song, while in their minds, the words to the song is created into a picture of paint- ing. 4 Kyle Schumacher collects his first place award that he achieved at the Solo and Ensemble contest from Connie Korte.

Many fill this extra hour by selecting a practical class from the home econom- ics or shop departments. Home economics once consisted of teaching girls how to cook, but that is no longer the case. The department of- fers classes like child care and parenting that teach about children and how to care for them or relationships and adult living that get students ready to go out into the real world and prepare for married life. There are still classes like foods and clothing and even a survival course for guys who have never taken a home economics class before. No longer just for boys, shop classes teach both males and females a variety of valuable skills, such as wood working or welding. Others teach students how to wire a house correctly. In a class like drafting students can even design their future home. Both shop and home economics teach students how to do things on their own and help to prepare for life after high school. 1 1Senior Kevin Gaffner finds that sewing isn't as easy as it looks. 1 Senior Pat Thurmond prepares metal to be used on his welding project. 4 Before they can start their designs, drafting class members must master textbook theory. 1 Senior Sue Hencke offers to help senior Christa McLean “redesign” a blouse. 1 Seniors Randy Korte and Darrell Gilomen cut their metal down to size.

Learning a foreign language gives students a chance to learn about new languages, cul- tures, and manners. In class they may try new foods and experience other foreign habits. In addition to International Fellowship, stu- dents in foreign language classes may belong to their respective foreign language clubs. Club meetings are held monthly and members discuss various issues concerning the cultures of respective languages and countries. Lead by German teacher Mrs. Warner, Spanish teacher Mrs. Alarcon, and French Teacher Mrs. Bastilla, students had fine help in learning and experienceing these exciting new languages.

V Volleyball and Basketball are two of the many sports taught at HHS. Getting into shape and staying healthy are two things that HHS stu- dents don’t have to worry about. Health related classes offered at HHS give students the opportunity to learn more about their body and how to keep it in good condition. Every student enrolled in Highland High is required to take PE all four years and a health class at some time during their sophomore year. This year, a special class was established for the individuals interested in serious shape- up activities. This class, Conditioning PE, contained mostly athletes along with a few who enjoy intense physical conditioning. Regular PE classes learn about sports, their origin and rules, while participat- ing in them for a given period or time. Health classes learn about the body and how it works. Subjects studied include drugs, alcohol, anatomy, and specialized parts of the body. An intense study of CPR usually concludes the class where students actually receive their CPR card. 4 Jay Korte blindfolds Matt Homann so Matt can experience what being blind is all about.

Most students try to take classes that will help them after high school. For those who plan on going into some field of business the business depart- ment is a very familiar place. It all starts out in business orienta- tion when students learn about other business classes and careers in busi- ness and then moves up to typing and shorthand. It doesn’t end there though. There are other classes like business machines which teach students how to use different calculators and machines. Other students find themselves in the computer room taking courses like computer literacy, advanced program- ming, or data processing so that someday they can get into the world of computers. With all of the various business related classes it is no wonder the business department is so popular.

But even after many days of training, hard work and sweat, the Dogs were only able to capture two of their scheduled nine games, one of which came in their home opener against Greenville which they took with a 20-9 victory. The team suffered another early sea- son punch besides the heat. They lost four starting seniors, three who moved away and one who suffered a foot in- jury. Yet, some people felt this loss of seniors had little to do with the team’s 2-7 record. Senior lineman Andy Prusa stated, ‘People thought the loss of four seniors would hamper the season, but we had underclassmen fill in the va- HHS OPP 20 Greenville 9 28 Newton 32 19 O'Fallon 30 33 Bethalto 39 31 Wood River 32 14 Roxana 40 0 Triad 14 6 Jerseyville 35 33 Mascoutah 28 cant spots. It didn’t really hurt us, it just cut down on experience.” Even with the loss of participants and a losing record, the Bulldog offense still managed to challenge op- posing defenses by scoring an average of 20 points per game. Leading the offense was senior running back Brian Zobrist, who finished the year with a total of 960 yards, and finished 2nd team all-conference. The Dogs suffered seven straight losses after their opener—losses such as final-minutes-of-the-game defeats to Newton and Bethalto, and the one point, overtime loss to Wood River.

V Coach Bill Rosenberg tries to inspire his players while establishing his strategy at half- time. ie ey as se) Frosh Excel While Sophs Struggle A 4-2 record proved to be the best ever for freshman football coach Barry Thomas. Under his guidance, the frosh Dogs won the Triad Jamboree and con- tinued to show their excellence, winning three of their last five games. Under the leadership of quarterback Craig Sands and the maneuvering ability of running back Robert Ball, the offense generated the points while the defense, coached by Brad Bevis, held back the opposing teams. “We had 34- 35 kids come out,”’ stated Coach Thomas. “It was a team effort.” Being the first team to score on Roxana and beating undefeated Triad in the last game of the season were highlights frosh gridders will remem- ber. Repeating last year’s performance, the sophomore squad won its first and last game but lost every game in between. However, their 2-4 record was not disappointing to Coach Bill Rosenberg, who commented, “We had a lot of good-sized sophomores, so we were competitive. We kept the games close and there were a few we lost that we could’ve won.” The season, which started on a good note when the sophs shut out Greenville 16-0, floundered as they lost their next four games. Losing a few players to eligibility and lacking speed hurt the squad the most. Like the freshmen gridders, the Dogs showed they would not give up as they defeat- ed Triad in their final game. “The sea- son didn’t go so well, but beating Triad made it worth it,” agreed sophomore Paul Braundmeier. ry PAVAUARLY hyn 1) (vs a _ 73 72 31. “ne, oT 32, ea is 70. someon? ht Se ott SU aoe ig v BAL EIA te , a 17, 50. anne 2 2 ESRa== | VY During their final game against Triad, the sophomore offensive line listens attentively to sophomore quarterback Art Braundmeier’s calls. 1 Sophomore: Row |: Harvey Jordan, Robert Ball, Craig Sands, Russ Miller, Randy Kleinmann, Art Braundmeier, Brad Wilken, Scott Michaelis, Mike Brown, Jeff Barker, Mike Grapperhaus; Row 2: Coach Bill Rosenberg, Scott Troxell, Dan Warning, Chris Voegele, Paul Braundmeier, Steve Frey, Frankie Crockett, Alan Zobrist, Scott Head, Matt Zajac, Steve Zobrist, Todd Hunsche, Lee Harris, John Sanders, Mike Loeh.

Below Expectations “The season went well but ended on a sour note.” So said first year golf coach Paul James, referring to the team’s record of 12-1, losing only to Mascoutah. Consisting of four seniors, one junior, one sophomore, and two freshmen, the team set a new team record of 145, and a new conference record of 299. Throughout the season, Edwardsville proved to be the golf team’s toughest opponent, defeating the Bulldogs in the Granite City Scramble, the Regionals, and the Sectionals. As disappointing as the season end- ed, five members were named all conference.

Putting It Together Capturing the conference title for the second consecutive year, the Lady Netters finished their eighth winning season with a ratio of 13 victorious battles to two losses. With seven out of ten players being seniors, the ’84 Bulldog team contained quality participation. According to Coach Carie Iftner, “Having seniors with and without experience was a great asset.” Experience, however, was not a key factor in this year’s winning season. Only four out of the seven sen- iors were four year tennis veterans. When first singles player, Meredith Heinemann was unable to play in five matches due to illness, senior Michelle Fornelli was promoted to the first seat. The ladies managed to place 6th out of the total of twelve participants at Belleville East Tournament. To beat this score, they ended up on their home court for the HHS Invitational.

Season of Struggle Reaching for the Conference victory, the Highland Cross Country team burst from the starting line with the same intensity as released by the starting gun. Competing with higher rated teams at the Conference meet, the Bulldogs expected to be overpowered by their rivals but finished a respect- able 3rd as a team and strong as individual runners. While meeting success at the Conference meet, the team did not fair as well throughout the season. With top participants coming from both inexperienced runners as well as exper- ienced, the squad fought inconsistency. Injuries and extreme heat got the team off to a slow start and a mediocre fin- ish. All Conference achievers included seniors Todd Plocher and Andy Frerker and freshman Mark Geppart and Nick Andres. Titles for All-Conference of the girl’s race went to senior Denise Thiems, junior Tina Tebbe and sopho- more Jill Redman.

Roller Coaster Ride With a 13-12 record, the roller coaster varsity basketball season opened with seven wins. The streak ended by a 2-point loss to O'Fallon. Then the ride began as the Bulldogs would win a few and then lose a few, not being able to win more than two in a row. The final 65-54 regional loss to Effingham ended the ride. Although winning just over half their games, the team was competitive. Sen- ior Rob Bloemker, voted to several All- Star teams, and senior Larry Whitlow paced the team in most offensive categories. Bloemker led the team in scoring, shooting 18.1 points per game. On defense, he led with 200 rebounds. Whitlow had the most interceptions with 57. With the help of underclass- men like Brian Dean, Chad Weiss, Jeff Dubach, and Scott Riggs, the Bulldog nucleus was tough, if not outstanding. The highlight of the season came when the Bulldogs took the first HHS basketball championship trophy in the Triad Round Robin Tournament. The JV squad rode the same roller coaster finishing the season at 9-9. Their biggest streak came at the end as they won their last three games to reach the .500 mark. With only four juniors and the rest inexperienced sophomores, the squad lost five of their seven opening games. The addition of junior John McDonald midseason solidified the offense and the defense. The ball handling and floor leadership shown by junior Brent Portell helped keep the squad in every game. Highlights included two last minute victories, both against Jerseyville, and a 52-48 victory over a tough Spring- field team. 1 With a Mascoutah player between him and the basket, junior Chad Weiss decides to go over rather than through him.

At the beginning of the season, coach Paul James bought the girls T-shirts pictur- ing the assembly mall in Champaign, where the state finals are held and the motto “You've Got To Believe” printed on the front. Consisting of five seniors, three juniors, and two freshman, the girls gradually accumulated the wins to make the dream of making it to the Assembly Hall come true. Cathy Kampwerth better known as “Tree” stated, “We did good, we had a few games when we were against ourselves but we were able to pull it out in the end.” Beginning by capturing the Mississip- pi Valley Conference championship, the girls set a school record by winning all of their conference matches. Then it was on to a Regional victory over Mascoutah (53-52) followed by a sec- tional win over the Green Waves of Matoon (48-47). The sectional win automatically placed the girls at the Sweet I6 spot putting them up against East St. Louis Lincoln in the super sec- tional game at Benton. Lincoln’s quick- ness and shooting ability prevailed and the Lady Bulldogs met defeat (45-3}). Cathy Kampwerth, Tina Voegle and Cheryl Rehkemper were named to the All Tournament team and Ist team All Conference along with Darla Rinderer as honorable mention.

Girls BB Fans | 7 Spirit—No Matter What Have you ever wondered what it might be like to have no cheerleaders at HHS? There would be no banners or pop-throughs, no locker decorations, no cheering before school, no leading of cheers at the games and no spirit week. As you can see there is a lot that the cheerleaders do to keep spirits high. Each of the cheerleaders had to contribute a little more of their time since there were only two squads, a varsity and a JV squad for both the basketball and football teams this year. This year the girls decided to get new uniforms. They picked a style that was rarely worn by high school cheer- leaders but seen mostly on college squads. The uniforms consisted of a sleeveless v-necked vest and skirt. The new uniforms were worn during the basketball season and proved to keep the girls cooler than their old sweater uniforms. When asked how she would feel if there were no cheerleaders, Starla Hobbs stated, “I think having no cheer- leaders would be the pits because then our sports would have no spirit backing them up.” Vv Cindy Hester, a four year cheerleader, cheers in her new uniform. 4 JV Basketball Cheerleaders: left to right are Lisa Brusack, Anne Livingston, Traci Zobrist, Stacey Thiems, Cheri Portell, Shelly Neumann.

This record was the best the wrestling team has achieved in six years. In addition, they were able to fill all 12 weight classes for the first time in five years, and they performed better in dual meets than in recent seasons. The year proved to be most successful for individuals. Cary Brown, junior and three year veteran, broke the record for having the most wins and pins for a junior since 1973, earning a personal record of 22-9, I5 of those victories being pins. Brown made it as far as sectionals, gaining him conference honorable mention. The second exceptional wrestler on the squad was sophomore and two year veteran, Paul Tebbe, who now has the best record for a sophomore ever in Highland wrestling with a record of 18-7. He also earned conference honor- able mention. 4 4 Varsity; Row | Paul Tebbe, Brian Weiss, Kevin Camp, Rob Hubler, David Bugger, and Scott Michaelis; Row 2 Coach Ted Cipicchio, Chris Loyet, Cary Brown, Mike Brown, Eric Augustion, Gordon Rogier, and Tad Haller.

Varsity Inconsistent; JV “If | had to describe the season in one word, it would be ‘inconsistent,’ stated Coach Mike Hooker as he summarized the varsity baseball season. “In some games we would be pitching good but not hitting well, and in other games it would be just the opposite.” That proved to be true as the dogs ended the season with a 5-13 record. A 7-0 loss to Mascoutah in the opener was a sign of things to come as the squad lost eight of their next nine games. A double header victory against Collinsville, combined with two wins against rivals Triad and Mascoutah, ended the losing streak. The Bulldog high was short-lived as losses to Edwardsville and Belleville East brought the season to a disappointing end. Coach Hooker described it in one sentence: ‘We played well, but we made too many mistakes.” Inconsistency and mistakes were not a problem for the JV squad. Under Coach Barry Thomas, the team had an excellent season, finishing 8-4. In three of their four losses, the Bulldogs were winning but lost in the last inning. Composed of eight sophomores and seven freshmen, the team worked as a unit and won their first four games, outscoring their opponents 25 runs to 8. The next three games were losses, bringing the record to a moderate 4-3. The team didn’t give up. Instead, they fought hard and won four of their last VY Coach Mike Hooker gives some advice to the playing field while the rest of the team intently watches the game.

Individually, two seniors finished HHS as number one players. Todd Plocher, three year veteran, “got the most out of his ability”, according to Coach Iftner.

For some tracksters, determination compelled them to increase race times, jumps, or throws. Others were deter- mined to increase stamina or improve their form.

It was a struggle to survive the adjustments of being in a new build- ing, making new friends and learning the rules. Sophomores, who had not yet gained the experience of their upperclassmen peers, merely existed until they were able to obtain a driver’s license. This gave them the freedom to see objects differently and find new angles. As upperclassmen, the juniors be- gan to mature and develop their own styles and techniques. By doing their own thing, the juniors prepared to become the leaders of HHS. When graduation finally arrived, the experienced senior class had completed their challenge and knew all the secrets. These secrets were acquired from faculty, family and friends, but most of all just from the experience of playing the game.

The biggest adjustment seems to be the school’s size and larger population. There seem to be millions of new faces to get to know. Most freshmen found getting along was easier than they anticipated. Claire Drake recalled the early days as being filled with “a lot more names to remember!” Struggling with embarrassing moments, freshmen soon found that they were no different from anyone else. Eva McLean commented, “I don’t really think age matters a whole lot . we're all kids.” Learning to associate with different people is essential. Kathy Zurliene found having all ages in her ag. orien- tation class was fun. “You get to know more people and not only your classmates.” As they became a part of HHS, the Class of '87 realized that adjustments were just another step on life’s ladder. Freshman Julie Hiett chose Childcare as an elective which enabled her to work' with other age groups, such as sophomores like Karla Klenke. Adjusting to high school and older students can be done in many ways. Freshman Shelly Neumann experienced being on the same squad as juniors like Lisa Brusack. The new | Can course included many group projects like this one with junior Terri Foederer and freshman Angela Rieke.

Catching on Algebra |, Biology I, English I, so- cial studies—required classes prepare freshmen for future goals. This year freshmen were among the first to be able to enroll in the new “| Can” course, designed to help stu- dents develop positive attitudes. Adapting to a bigger school and harder classes, freshmen struggled to their first mind-boggling semester exams. One student commented that although they were hard, “you found out what you knew.” During pre-registration week, freshmen had already begun prepar- ing for college, vocational school, or on-the-job training. Whatever they choose, all freshmen agree that they look forward to their first day as a sophomore where more choices would be theirs.

However, it also takes work and energy. It begins with a positive attitude. Once you are positive about people, you’ve won half the battle. Carla Suess recommended, “Don’t be shy; be outgoing, and you'll meet many new and exciting friends.” Being active follows close behind, whether it includes joining clubs, participating in a sport, becoming a fan, or persuing a job. When asked about the variety of events at HHS, Gale Ervin commented, “People can be more active than in junior high.” A positive attitude and being ac- tive are important for a freshman to feel at home at HHS.

When asked to compare her freshman and sophomore years, Kit- ty Wilson replied, “It’s better because we're not freshmen anymore and we're no longer considered stupid.” The Class of 1986 also took a step toward more freedom and responsi- bility. Donna Kraus commented, “I can do more now because | am older and people seem to respect the things | can do because of my age.” “As a freshman, you worry about what others think; but as a sopho- more, you have earned your place in the Band,” were the feelings of Ka- ren Koch. Other responsibilities and opportunities arise for sophomores. Already they are getting an early start in planning the 1984-85 prom and working on acquiring a drivers license so they'll be able to get there. For the Class of 1986, becoming sophomores was not only moving up a year in high school; it was also the opportunity to escape from having the label “freshman.” Chrissy Cagle Rick Cain Kevin Camp Bill Camp Laura Campbell Andrea Case Joe Castegnaro Dale Chamberlain Pat Clements Matt Collmann Frank Crockett Sherry Daiber Terry Daiber Susan Dillow Rob Driemeyer Kathy Duffin Bill Duffin Staci Duncan Kate Dunn Sean Eberhardt David Eilers Suzi Essenpreis Tom Faires Ron Forehand Tricia Fornelli Steve Frey Diana Gill Joe Gillespie Don Gnaedinger Carla Goff Eric Good Karen Granger Gina Grapperhaus Mike Grapperhaus Leann Gruenenfelder Tim Guetterman Kathy Hagist Yvonne Haisler Kim Haller Chantel Harnetiaux Sarah Harris Scott Head Les Hedrick Jeff Heim Terry Hellman Kay Henkhaus Dan Hessenauer Ricky Hessenauer ophomores 14] Looking Ahead “lL can’t wait till I'm a Junior!” Kathy Hagist stated when asked what she was looking forward to during her high school years. but there is more than just looking forward to becoming an upper classman when a student enters high school.

Lisa Uhe thought, “Competition was going to be tough for us.” But competition was only a problem when it came time to play the juniors for the championship. In that game the so- phomores decided to pour on the power that led them to the final victory for the 1983 Powder-Puff Championship.

For the college bound, that means taking the ACT. Sixteen juniors who took the test in the spring, scored above the 30 mark in one or more areas. Jeff Buchmiller scored a 35 in math and a 34 in natural science, each just one point away from a perfect score. John McDonald and Patti Young scored 30 or better in 3 out of 4 areas of the test. While some juniors already know what they want to do after high school, others are still undecided as to what the future will hold for them in two years. “| know | want to go to college but | don’t know what college or what major yet.” commented Mary Slantz. Whether or not juniors know what lies ahead, they soon realize that time is moving more rapidly than they expected. Juniors 147 Todd Imming and Todd Korte received attention when they transforme; N ot ic e d themselves to beautiful and irresistable, powderpuff cheerleader Trendsetters, the class of 1985 was determined to be recognized. In addition to having I6 people scoring above 30 on the ACT, the juniors also excelled in extra- curricular activities. Changes in the prom such as a dinner and valet parking meant working extra hard to raise money to pay for the extra costs. The sale of mums, candy bars and coupon books helped in this task. The class of '85 had several top athletes. Cary Brown had the best wrestling record by a junior since 1972 and Cathy Kampwerth, excelling in both volleyball and basketball, was invited to play on a Jr. Olympic volleyball team in Chicago. Above all, the juniors found a sense of freedom that allowed them to do their own thing and be successful in their own special way.

Free to Choose Now as juniors, the Class of '85 find it easier to pick For most, the junior year is a time to get away from the classes they wish to take. “You get to choose required subjects and concentrate on classes needed classes that will help you in the future”, commented for the future. Curt Barker. Some classes such as world history, Illinois history, and living environments, were dropped because of lack of interest. This challenged some students to find oth- er classes.

Sacrificing for the Pay Check Work is the physical or mental effort involved in doing or making something. That is how it is defined in the dictionary. But most students will agree that it also takes responsibility and sacrifice to hold a job while at- tending high school. Responsibility is one of the hardest parts about working. The workers are responsible for being on time, handling the merchandise they are working with, making the customers happy and letting them know that they are always welcome back. “Missing out on school activities and parties over the weekend is a real dis- advantage of working,’ commented Rich Dusky who works part time on a farm and at the News Leader. Not be- ing able to get homework completed because of work, missing favorite T.V. programs, favorite rock concerts, or high school sports are all sacrifices stu- dents have to make when they hold a job while in high school.

One of the hardest decisions for seniors to make is what to do after they graduate. They’ve spent I2 years in school doing one thing—learning, but figuring out what to do with the rest of their lives still remains a mystery. There are many reasons for the choices they make. Some seniors go into the service after graduation to help the country and to see the world. Brian Melton said that the day he leaves will be Tina Voegele Tammi Waterman the hardest part about signing up. Crista McLean chose to go to Hick- ey Business School so that she would get a better paying job. Some sen- iors don’t wait until June to gradu- ate.

Chosen as marshals, juniors Tim Dillow and Gina Langhauser lead the seniors down the aisle for Baccalaureate and graduation. | Celebrating The End With 12 years over and gone, June |, the final night, marked the time for the seniors to say goodbye. Celebrating the end? Isn't that wrong? Most yearbooks write of sad goodbyes. Well, tears did appear on graduation night when it was time to say goodbye to the class of 1984, but they were often followed by sighs of relief. No more high school. After a year or more of planning, that began with thinking about what to do after high school and continued into the winter with ordering of caps and gowns, key chains, and memory books, it finally dwindled down to Friday, June I. Commencement was held in a gym, packed with relatives and friends, ap- proximately 200 graduating seniors and the band who performed their selection of “Never Gonna Let You Go,” along with the traditional ‘Pomp and Circum- stance.” Following junior marshalls Tim Dillow and Gina Langhauser were Valedictorian Michele Fornelli and Salu- tatorian Cindy Hester. The faculty comment came from so- cial studies teacher Mr. Steven Moore who was followed by guest speaker Dr. Bruce R. Wismore, president of Belleville Area College. Diplomas were distributed and the Class of '84 exited as graduates of HHS. It was all over. Four years of high school had passed and the seniors could look back to see if they had finally gotten it all straight. Valedictorian Michele Fornelli receives an award from Mr. Olin Stratton, superintendent of Highland schools. A Mr. Steven Moore, who was chosen by the senior class to give the teacher comment, stands among the other teachers during graduation. Looking Back Now over and past, the school year offers students the chance to look back. So the school year is over. Now it’s time to take a step back and review the year in a different perspective. “Did | choose the right classes?” “Had | run five yards further, could | have caught the pass to score the winning touchdown?” “Did | ask the right girl - guy to coronation or prom?” “Did | choose the right college?” The questions continue. Some receive positive responses while others remain unanswered. The year faced a few changes. Oh sure, it had its annual football season, coronation and prom, yet students watched for the first time, the girls basketball team play in supersectionals, With the end of school coming near, it’s time to award those who have excelled through the year. Junior Angie Lutostanski receives an award for her performances in chorus.

The school year went on though, of- fering challenges to students. Some were challenges that faced students in the past; others were challenges never met before. Beginning back on August 29, 1983 and continuing on till graduation on June |, 1984, from the highly successful season of the Lady Bulldogs through the death of history teacher Mr. David Bailey, students faced options, obstacles, and life ex- periences that they were forced to sift and sort in their struggle to “get it straight.” Knowing the end of the school year is near, junior Jeanette Forehand cleans out a few things from her locker. Students were required to have their locker cleaned for the locker inspection on the last day of school. Showing her team spirit, senior Tina Voegele holds her hand up to show that she feels the Lady Bulldogs are number one.

Paula East, Sue Hencke, Pam Reinacher, Connie Korte, Missy Neudecker, Ginny Greve, Lisa Brusack Let’s Get It Straight Even with a lack of experience, the staff worked to get it straight. It’s funny, sort-of ironic in a way, how the title for the yearbook, “Let's Get It Straight,” told the exact require- ments of the Iris staff. Gathering information, getting pic- tures, making decisions and meeting deadlines were just a few of these re- quirements. Meeting these requirements was a little harder for the young staff. When the first day of school arrived in Au- gust, it brought thirteen students to adviser Mr. Dale Ott’s room, but of the thirteen, only three were second year staff members. This lack of experience plus the pressure to better the accomplishments made by the 1983 book titled “Inside HHS,”’ such as being named to the “Golden Dozen” by the Southern Illinois Press Association, and being named top book in its category by the Eastern Illi- nois Press Association brought the first obstacle of many that the staff would face. After the first year students were trained on just how a yearbook is made, they began producing the 1983- 84 book. Off to a slow start, the book looked as if it would never get done, but as the end of the year rolled around, and two weeks into the sum- mer, the book took form. Radical changes and rules, that applied in books before, were being broken by the creative staff. In the end, it didn’t take the traditional form, actually it opened doors to the yearbooks yet to be made. Working together on the light table, juniors Paula East and Julie Debatin crop a picture for their layout. Working on copy for the basketball layouts, senior Pat Leopold edits and revises his first draft. Leopold, as sports editor, worked on getting the sports section straight. One key to the success of any business is advertising. How would you know about the business that sells the mirrored sunglasses that you were just dying to have? What tells you that one of the local “Burger Biggies” is having a two for one sale on cheese fries? Of course the an- swer to these fundamental questions is ad- vertising. There is another important factor that is affected by advertising. It is not so much for the businesses, but for the or- ganizations that require ads to keep running. Much of the publishing costs for the HHS yearbook is covered by the ad- vertising of local businesses. Without their support, the yearbook would probably wither away to a looseleaf notebook with IRIS handwritten on the cover. obvious that the students of HHS owe much to the local merchants. There is a way to show appreciation for their contributions. By shopping area mer- chants first, you are not only supporting those who support the school, but also you are supporting your own yearbook.
