No matter how we were punished, he would laugh and smile. All trouble was forgotten in the shortest while. He’s in our memory and there he’ll stay. Forever and ever until we have all gone away. —Rene Woodside In a sense there is no death. The life of a soul on the earth lasts beyond his departure. You will always feel that life touching yours, that voice speaking to you in the familiar things he touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends. He lives on in your memory and in the memories of all others who knew him. 4 —Angelo Patri Kim Carter “Crash” Cyndi Chrestman “Cyn-Lyn” Rod Baird Jack Bruden “Big Fig” “Jake” Jim Butler Jimmy McBean” 6 Ken Jones “Chones” Ronda Ketchum “Rodunda” Dave Kasper “Red” Randy Kirby “Kirb” Bonnie Lacey “Bon” George Pfaab “George” Randy Reeley “Maniac” Tim Richards “T.

He and Bob Gilpin, principal, began a new rou- tine of frequently dropping in and visiting classes. At left, Jackie Ellis, bookkeeper, takes care of all bills, money and records. Without her we never would have known how close we were to filing for bankruptcy.

Not only does our devoted faculty give us their time during school hours, but some of them also allow us to take up some of their free time. Each teacher sponsors a class through the entire four years of high school. The Class of ’80 sponsors are Ron Green, Joy Mohr, Marty Barrett, and Glenda Robison. Sponsors for the Class of’79 are Cindy Breeze, Bob Gilhaus, Joe Wolfe, and Randy Waddell. Dana Hales, Jim Allen, and Mary Smith sponsor the Class of ’78. Those who have been with the class of ’77 from beginning to end are Jim Farney, Gertrude Brown, and Doug Lang. Ruth Kerr sponsors yearbook publication, graduation, and Baccal- aureate; she also helps with the records for money-making projects. The faculty gives some of their outside time to organ- izational or sports activities. These who do so are pictured with the members of these activities. They are being men- tioned here in this special place so we can express our sincere appreciation to them all for the time they spend helping us become more involved in our school and community. Editors’ Note: We want to express our gratitude and apol- ogies to any teacher who is offended by our quaint puns or insinuating remarks. 33 Standing, Attendants: Freshman, Brian Taylor and Kim Chrestman; Sopho- mores, Jamie Rogers and Pam Danner; Juniors, Mark Basala and Amy Summers.

Our final home- coming made two weeks of fun instead of one. The first week was for the decorating of halls and the painting of win- dows downtown, which was used to bring the alumni a little closer to our celebration. The last week was filled with work on floats, arrangements for the dance, and preparation for the game. Thursday of the final week was the only bit of tradition that survived. Adding our own touch, the snake dance start- ed from the “good ol’ depot,” stretched across town, and ended at the bonfire. Even that cool night couldn’t have cooled our spirits. On Friday, the end began. The halls and windows were based on the defeat of the Oaks, while the float theme was “Movies of the Thirties.” The juniors took first on halls with the freshmen swiping second. In our normal pattern, the se- niors won the window competition and the G.A.A. window tied up second. Friday night was filled with joy and victory. For the team, a 7-0 victory was achieved over Oakland. Watching the floats at half-time, we found that the sophomores placed first with King Kong and “We’ll Throw ’Em Off the Top.” Seniors and freshmen tied for second with “As Our Victory Blows In, The Oaks Will Be ‘Gone With The Wind’.” and “Our Champs Are Knockouts.” Juniors wrapped up third with the “Mummy.” The dance was a spectacular ending to a great homecom- ing. As “Rocky” played “If You Leave Me Now,” Dave and Kris were crowned king and queen. It was all an accumula- tion of fun, work, and friendship from the past four years. 37 Cast A: Rene Woodside, Lucy; Jim Patton, Linus; Jim Butler, Schroeder; Judy Meade, Patti; Don Taeger, Charlie Brown; Tammy Chism, Snoopy.

The Home Economics Related Occupations class is offered to seniors and is to help them learn about different job areas. Seniors this year held jobs at gas stations, printing companies, and grocery stores. In class, they learned about income taxes, budgets, credit, and insurance with the help of their teachers. Making plan pothangers and stationery and selling them at Christmas time was the money-making project that enabled delegates to be sent to the State HERO Conference. The Con- ference was held in Springfield on April 29 and 30. In appre- ciation of the employers, a banquet was held at the end of the year. Plaques are given to the employers to show gratitude. Through this class, the seniors feel they have acquired a better understanding of careers and occupations. Debbie Schroeder, President.

Tne Future Homemakers of America really had a lot of fun this year even though there weren’t many new mem- bers. F.H.A. sold concessions at home football games, which they do every year. Mrs. Marrs and the Chapter Mothers deserve a lot of credit for helping. Because of lack of interest, the Rosanna Gainette sales didn’t make as much profit as expected, so to make more money, F.H.A. members sold candy in March and animal candles in April. For our Christmas project we went caroling at Gar- wood and really had a great time. At the Section Rally, Kelley Taylor relinquished her office as Vice-president of Public Relations and Diane Kiel was elected Recreational Chairman. The F.H.A. and HERO took a trip to Great America at Gurnee in May. The overnight was a lot of fun for all, especially the roller coaster! Remember turning over?

The main goal of the H-Club this year was to raise enough money to help finance construction of the press box. They sold tumblers, raffled a radio, calculator, and a camera, and sponsored a chili supper. The press box serves as protection for the announcers and enables the cam- era men to get a better view of the field.

Our money-making projects con- sisted of selling flowers at Homecom- ing, raffling a stuffed Panther, and sell- ing apples at football and basketball games. The highlights of after school activ- ities were swimming and roller skating, a pizza party, and our annual chili sup- per. We were also invited to a couple of F.C.A. meetings. All in all, the year was quite exciting for those who attended. Left to right: Debby Robertson, Student Council Representative; Tami Chism, Public Relations.

The Christmas party was held December 21 in the cafeteria. Student Council provided two W.C. Fields movies and a Three Stooges movie. Popcorn and a drink was served and the teachers provided candy bars for everyone. All in all it was a good year. First row: Jill Craver, Dawn Robertson, Patti Freeman, Rynda Ellis, Kathy Robertson.

The 1976-77 Homer High School Band has had many new experiences under the direction of Joe Wolfe. We’ve grown in number and in skill from his leadership and fresh ideas. The pep band played at the football and basketball games and the regular band played for the “Music in our Schools” assembly, both graduations, and the Memorial Day services. Our Jazz Band took part in the Millikin Jazz Festi- val in February. We received a high second rating and placed fifth out of ten schools in our class. We’re excited about go- ing again. With a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work we hope to have a marching band next year. It has been 25 years since we’ve had a marching band, and with the help of the newly formed Band Boosters we hope to make it a success. It has been an exciting and an enjoyable year. Mr. Wolfe would like to extend his appreciation and thanks to everyone who helped with this year’s band func- tions.

Because of the fact that not everyone wanted to participate, only certain members went to contest. Chorus performed at three assemblies and gave both a Christ- mas and Spring Concert. On April 26, they participated in a Music Festival which included Villa Grove, St. Joseph, Unity, and ABL. It was held at Villa Grove and was guest conducted by Willie Summerville. We would all like to thank Mrs. Breeze for an enjoyable year.

This year Homer entered the Little Okaw Valley Confer- ence and faced some tough competition. The girls finished with a winning season, 11-5. Although only ten girls went out for the team, they put up a good battle in all their season games. Seven of the girls will return next year and are looking forward to another win- ning season. The season was a longer one than the girls have ever faced. The girls chalked up third place in the L.O.V.C.T. and a sec- ond in the ABL Invitational. Overall it was a good year, and the girls. Coach Robison, and the fans should all be congratu- lated.

The great determination was shown with a 3-4 conference record and many one-touchdown losses. Due to many of last year’s let- termen graduating, positions had to be filled with those of less experience. The coaches at first worried about putting some of these players in important positions, but in the end they found they had made the right decision. Not only were the new players good, but the experience of playing with the varsity teams will help them in next year’s games. One can see a vast improvement towards the finish of the season. Coach Miller said, “We could have won a couple more games if they would have lasted longer.” With seven returning lettermen next year, there will be a great deal of skill added to the skill already present.

The freshmen were inexperienced and a little scared, espe- cially when they were put into important positions. They were given the positions because there was no one else to do th; job, but because their hard work earned them a try. As well as not being experienced, the freshmen were not too big. It was thought they would be crushed in a game, but they were not. Their size fooled many people; including, their opponents. The main supporters of the team were parents. They went out in the just-becoming-cold weather to watch their sons just becoming football players. The hopes and cheers of the fathers kept many of the boys going. Another game over and the boys off to the showers, one anxious father said, “Well, see ya next year when they all play Varsity.” Another puzzl- ed father replied, “What about next week when they play Arthur?” Standing: Coach Waddell, Craig Collins, David Taylor, Larry Sapp, Tim Grubb, Stan Burton, Randy Allen, Brian Taylor, Dale Taeger, Dave Ellis, Jim Lacey, Rick Kirby, Tom Wolf, Coach Fink, Coach Green.

Homer had a very rough season with a tough schedule in the Little Okaw Conference. Injuries took their toll, and the squad did a good job late in the season. The girls are looking forward to a better season next year.

The Panthers were left with one three-year starter. The Pan- thers were inexperienced, to say the least, but won many games they weren’t expected to. The young Panthers lost three games in overtime and two others in the last minutes of play. Another senior, Rod Baird, was unable to complete the season due to knee injuries. In a couple of years, the basketball team should be greatly improved.

Coach Randy Waddell and his young Pantners enjoyed an- other fine season on the court finishing with an encouraging 11-9 record overall. The team consisted mainly of sophomores and freshmen. They were never really out of any games (ex- cept Catlin) and were in many close games including a double overtime loss to Bement and a single overtime win with At- wood-Hammond. Coaches Trask and Waddell can expect some fine seasons from these future varsity players. The freshmen were even more impressive with a very fine 6-0 record which included wins over such old rivals as St. Joe and Catlin. Coach Randy Waddell said this is the finest fresh- man team he has ever coached. Much can be expected from these boys.

They had two meets and got a second and third. Since there were no seniors on the team, they are really looking forward to a bigger and better season next year. First row: Craig Collins, Scott Covington, Marty Loy, Kyle Webb, Ken Ketchum. Second row: Rick Clem, Dale Taeger, Rick Rob- ertson, John Dodd, Tom Moore, Jim Butler, Coach Wilson. Track was small but different in the coacning aspect. Our new coach went through his rookie season in flying colors. Coach Wilson managed to motivate a few more guys to come out. This season was a real challenge in that no one knew what his specialty was. The guys went through many events. The only record broken this year was the two-mile relay with the time of 9:05. The underclassmen should do very well in the years to come. The Department of Transportation actually renewed your driver’s license?! Left to right: Allen Glenn, Steve McDonald, John Dodd, Coach Jim Allen, Jim Patton, Greg Bange, and Mark Coyle. The Golf team got off to a late start this season. When the school year be- gan, it was pretty clear that there would not be a golf team. The deter- mination of a few members made the team work. After Jim Allen became coach, things began to go more smooth- ly. The team was cleared through the IHSA and began going to meets. Enthusiasm was high and even though the scores were nothing to rave about, the members seemed to have a good time. 96 This is no time to be embar- rassed Is-V £7 � Whasamatter, Birdneck?
