That force is know n to us all to be the Spirit of ’76.” It is a SPIRIT OF LIBERTY and the knowl- edge that one man's freedom is more important than anything else on earth. Ii is the SPIRIT OF FRON- TIER — of not fearing to go where man has not reached. George ashington Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton James Madison John Hancock 11 is the SPIRIT OF INDIVIDUALISM — acknowledging a birthright of opportunity and freedom drawn front the strength of our fathers. Indeed the SPIRIT OF ’76” was, and is, many things, each of which has been a building block of our national greatness. Our country grew on that spirit and prospered on that spirit. When all else fails it is that spirit that will be there to guide us and keep us strong. m Administration di “Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.” John Gunther DISTRICT 11 SUPERINTENDENT: Leo Huffman SCHOOLBOARD: F.

'- 5 Coach Quentin Ryder can always be counted on to produce a winner, but this year he outdid himself. The 1975 HEL Cross Country team set a Cornjerker record for dual wins 22-1, losing only to the state ranked Danville team. In addition, they finished third in both the Bismarck-Henning Invitational and the prestigious St. Joe-Ogden Spartan Classic. The star of the team, senior Ernie Linares, led individually in dual meets 18-4, and was named all East Central Illinois, All Conference, and 1975 All County Champ. Another senior, Dave Cook, was also named All-County, along with sophomores Eric Haughee and Harry Gudeman. Senior Merle Eisen- mann and freshman Scott Huffman were awarded Honorable Mentions. The returning junior varsity team looks promising, as they placed well individually as well as being the co-champions of the Wauseca Conference. Dave Cook strains in the last leg of the relay. 75 Harriers Compile 22-1 Record 1975 CROSS COUNTRY SEASON HEL OPP Catlin 16 46 Chrisman 21 34 Watseka 18 37 Gilman 20 39 Clifton Cent. 15 50 Westville 18 41 Catlin 17 46 Paxton 26 36 Bis-Henning 18 38 Kansas 17 38 Chrisman 21 34 Paris 23 32 Danville 49 15 Catlin 17 44 Clifton Cent. 15 42 Gilman 22 39 Grant Park 15 48 Watseka 21 34 Westville 17 42 Rankin 19 42 Georgetown 18 43 Bis-Henning 21 37 Georgetown 21 36 76 Coach Ryder checks times.

The HEL football season was filled with high aspi- rations, crushing defeats, and incredible surprises through the fall of 1975. Many very capable under- classmen emerged to replenish the nine graduating seniors, all of whom showed tremendous spirit and enthusiasm throughout the season. Bill Aleshire was top ground gainer for the Corn- jerkers with an average of 4.8 yards per carry. Tim Goodrum, Barry Fields and Dave Watson scored a total of 96 points for the team while Barry Fields averaged 31.6 yards per punt, compared to the opponents' 26 yard average. Defensively, Noe Gonzalez led with 111 tackles followed closely by Kevin Kriebs with 105. The Wauseca Conference recognized four HEL sen- iors. Tim Goodrum received a Special Mention, while Mark Wagoner, Joe Bury, and Noe Gonzalez all received Honorable Mentions.

The team will certainly miss its captain Melia Neathery, who displayed outstanding sportsmanship and leadership throughout her years in the game. Noriko Shimotsuma, our exchange student, also greatly assetted the team with her quick returns and Japanese style. The team learned to play more powerfully this year, capitalizing on the bump pass, the overhead set, and the spike. Coach Vines anticipates her returning players, as the JV team finished their season with a spectacular win over top-ranked Danville in addition to having a winning record. One of the season's high points was that of our winning the consolation bracket in the 4th annual HEL tourney. ABOVE: Melia Neathery spikes another one. BELOW: Anna Blakey returns a serve.

Honored at this time were the cheerleaders, volleyball, bowling, basketball, and wrestling teams. Also receiving recog- nition were managers, aides, and stat girls. 85 Throughout the 1975-76 athletic sea- son, the varsity and junior varsity cheer- leaders led the student body in HEL spirit. Both squads were present at all home and away games. The wrestling cheerleaders were aptly assisted by the grappler girls in spurring our matmen to a spirited season.

Coach Jim Richard's grapplers compiled a 13-5 record for the year, in addition to placing first at the Eureka tournament, second in the district, and second at Bis- marck. The fresh-soph team also received a first at the Catlin tournament. Many school records were broken this year by three outstanding individuals. Barry Field set a record with 21 escapes, while senior Gordon French led in rever- sals with 17. The greatest single achieve- ment was that made by Don Warner, who tied the pin record and broke the record for the most points. He led the team in takedowns and produced a 30-2-1 win record for the season. Seniors Dave Shoufler and Joe Bury will also be missed next year, however, with 26 undergraduates returning. Coach Rich- ards is very optimistic about the future. Barry Field rakes his opponent off his feet. ROW 1: J. Russell, V. Brown. T. Farrell. E. Haughee. M. Morgeson. J. Goodrum. ROW 2: T. Johnson, B.

It commenced Friday evening February 27th when he fashioned a 19-2 victory over Steve Marshall of Wilmington. Saturday. Don met Rockford champ, Mike Shinville. The match ran down to ten seconds when Warner finally scored a takedown for a 5-4 victory and a chance at the state title. The Saturday night championship match saw Warner facing Jerry Raab. At the end of the first period, the score was tied 4-4, but in the second period Raab made 5 points for a granby roll.

The 1975 Homecoming has come and gone, but our remembrances of the tingling excitement we felt during that week still lingers on. It started with the bonfire - a crackling blaze, several refrains of our school song, pep talks, and girls giving away garters to their favorite football player. The parade fol- lowed on Friday with the marching band, fire truck, floats, and queen candidates. The junior float, Crush the Toppers, won first place honors followed by the sophomores and the seniors with second and third places respectively. National Honor Society won first place for best deco- rated cars with the slogan You can do it, if you put your mind to it. Schlarman proved to be the unyielding aggressor during the big game that evening, but HEL did man- age to hold an 8-7 halftime lead over the Hilltop- pers. The rest of the game proved disheartening to the Cornjerkers as they were defeated 33-14.

Fall Play Presented on Nov. 13 and 15 The major fall production of Company 76 was Bel Kaufman's Up the Down Staircase” starring Jane Doyle in the lead role. The play, directed by Ms. Stone, with the combined efforts of student directors Chris Hardcastle and Tim Sheffield, successfully involved over 50 members of the student body. Calvin Coolidge High School in New York City provided the contemporary setting for a young first year teacher, who attempted to instruct her rebel- lious class. Its theme is humorous, but poignant with a sense of warmth and concern shown on the part of students and faculty. Jay Buck delivers his soliloquy. 115 Thespian Initiation Conducted May 20th and 21st During the two days of initiation, the inductees were required to wear extraordinarily crazy costumes and have a skit prepared for the two noon-time shows. After much intense ridicule, the initiates were subjected to a timed treasure hunt, in which they had to ’’discover some very unusual objects. The following week, a Thespian banquet was held in honor of the new members at the Luxor in Dan- ville. Awards presented included: Best actor and Thespian - Rick Car- rell, Best actress - Nancy Cholson, Best crew member - Debbie Anders, and Honor Thespian - Jay Buck. 116 Jay Buck Named Honor Thespian 117 Christmas Assembly Given Our Swing Choir sings oui glad tidings. 118 on December 19th 119 Child care students sing us some carols.

The entire affair was planned and executed by the students from the shopping for groceries, to the meal planning and prepa- ration, to the clean-up. Needless to say, it proved to be a very enlightening educa- tional experience. 120 Mock Wedding Held May 24th Miss Grzybek's 7th hour Family Living class performed their mock wedding on May 24th in the high school auditorium. Serving in the ceremony were: David Bauer - groom, Seresa Wise - bride, Janna Griffin - Maid of Honor, Scott Davis - Best Man, Tim Goodrum and Kristi Lane - parents of bride, Dave Shoufler and Terri Miles - parents of groom, Ed Richards - minister, Lisa DeWitt - pianist, Elizabeth Zollar - soloist, and Melia Neathery - guest book.

The story revolves around Fanny Brice, a Zieg- field Folly dancer, her rise to stardom, and eventually her mar- riage and divorce from gambler Nick Arnstein. Under the direc- tion of Ms. Stone, the cast, crew, chorus, and pit band com- bined to make the Company 76 musical a raving success.

After the meal, prophecies and wills were read, the hatchet was buried, and entertainment was provided by Nora and Nancy Gholson. At 9 o’clock, the high school gymnasium was transformed into a world of romance and the theme Stairway to Heaven lighted the room with mystery. Later in the evening, Diane Hannie and Rick Carrell became the reigning king and queen of the 1976 prom. Their court consisted of Melia Neathery, Joy Schaffner, Pat Stipp, Cathy Wood, Joe Bury, Dave Cook, Arlyn Rudin and Tim Sheffield. 126 Diane and Rick Reign at Dance RIGHT: Jr. class sponsors Mr. Prosise, MissGryzbek, and Mr. McMillan.

On May 8th, the Hoopeston Jaycees assisted the Junior class in sponsoring the post prom activities as the American Legion. Gamblers pocketed most of the play money while smiles of fortune shined upon the faces of the pinball wizards. Even the spectators enjoyed themselves, gulping down all the pop and food available while listening to the Jesse Ross band. And for the late nighters who stayed until 4:30, a drawing was held in which Eric Haughee received a stereo. The annual morning-after breakfast was held at the VFW. Many students capped their weekend festivities with a Sunday trip to Turkey Run State Park. 129 Awards Day Conducted May 18 ACROSS: Nancy On received 2nd runner-up for Outstanding State Librarian.

During every day at HEL, her bright smile and good humor brought ever- yone closer to the true nature and character of the Japanese people. Noko as she was fondly referred to, kept continuously busy at Hoopeston-East Lynn by participating in volleyball, student council, and many other activities, as well as church projects and AFS meetings. She developed a taste for Americanized” pas- times including: eating pizza, listening to music, taking pictures, playing the piano, and watching Columbo on TV. But her Japanese customs and traditions were always with her, including an expe- rienced hand for paper-folding. Her address: 397 Konyacho Dotemachidori Shimokyoku, KYOTO JAPAN Noko with her American family, the Earl Stipps. Noko tries her hand at decorating. 132 Organizations “Before we put down our bets on a revolution- ary movement, we have a right to ask that it, like ours, have the broad goals of freedom and human welfare clearly before it ... ” Clinton Rossiler r tp: i fa w 30 Students Inducted Into 134 A total of 64 persons comprised this year’s Honor Society.

I must extend a special thank you to the Staff - Sarah, Debbie, Cathy, Nora, Becky, Elizabeth, Nancy, Tammy, Terry, David, Glenn, Scott, and Brad for all their hard work and faithful attendance. Thanks must go especially to Scott and David for their extremely successful ad soli- citation. My gratitude also extends to photographers Don, Mark, and Scott and to Mr. Sheagley for his dedicated assistance. I sincerely appreciate all the help and critical suggestions from Ms. Odle. It is my earnest hope that everyone will appre- ciate our efforts in portraying HEL's ninety-eighth year. After reading the above, all I can add is an acknowledgement to Sudlow's and our Taylor man, Corey Mundwiler. Thanks again staff - it was a very good year!
