X 1981 PICAYUNE Hoopeston-East Lynn H.S. 615 E. Orange St. Hoopeston, Illinois 60942 Vol. 75 Dedication MS. JANET K. ODLE We the staff of the 1981 Picayune, wish to dedicate our yearbook to Ms. Janet K. Odle. Ms. Odle was born September 3, 1945 in Urbana, Illinois. Her family moved to Hoopeston in 1949, where she later attended the local schools — Maple Grade, John Greer Jr. High, and Hoopeston Senior High. After graduating in 1963, she journeyed to Colorado Springs to enroll at Colorado College. Four years later she received her BA degree in History. In 1967, she returned to Illinois to attend graduate school at the U. of I. in Champaign, and subsequently earned a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology. Ms. Odle’s first job was with University Inns, Inc. She worked as Resident Manager at Illini Tower (on the U. of I. campus) for one year, and then the following year was promoted to Student Personnel Coordinator at a unit on the San Diego State University campus. In the fall of 1970, she returned to Hoopeston to teach. During the past eleven years she has taught U.S. History, World History, and Psychology. Her extracurricular activities have included coaching the girl's bowling team, sponsoring the National Honor Society, and serving as Picayune advisor. Additionally, she has led several student educational tours to Europe and Hawaii during the summer months. Besides these activities, she has participated in several civic affairs and organizations. She has been ac- tive in the Business and Professional Women s Club, serving as the local President and District Director as well as holding positions on state committees. Ms. Odle is also a member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society. She has served as secretary and vice-president of this educational group. Last year, she headed up the 1980 Hoopeston Census Committee as well as chairing the Citizen’s Advisory Committee. Presently, she is a member of the city Zoning Commission. Ms. Odle, a member of the First Christian Church, teaches an adult class on Sundays. Likewise, she holds membership in NOW, NEA, Gamma Phi Beta Sorority, and the National Council of Social Studies Teachers. Furthermore, this busy woman works part-time for Terry Realty as a realtor associate. Her hobbies include reading, playing golf, traveling, and doing genealogical research. We sincerely wish to express our appreciation to Ms. Odle for her assistance in producing this piece of history, in hopes that she will enjoy it as much as we will in the years to come. 2 ILLINOIS Governor: James Thompson Capital: Springfield Area: 56,400 sq. miles Elevation: Highest 1,241' Lowest 279' Population: 11,321,350 State flower: violet State bird: cardinal State song: “Illinois HOOPESTON Mayor: Earl Smock Township: Grant City area: 1.8 sq. miles City elevation: 717' City population: 6,391 School colors: Blue and white School nickname: Cornjerkers School enrollment: 360 School song: Across the Field CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION 17 f?

It commenced with a very wet start Monday morn- ing due to the rain, but the seniors still went to McDonald’s to “chow down on hotcakes and Egg McMuffins. On Tuesday, many seniors participated in student teaching. This was also dress- up day. Wednesday saw the senior class having their noon picnic on the school's front lawn. They devoured sandwiches, pizza, etc. and of course the tradi- tional senior name cake. Thursday’s softball game found the upperclassmen defeating the faculty for the first time in many years. But toga day, an innovation this year, capped the festivities. Seniors, dressed as ancient Greeks and Romans, seemed to enjoy the cool garments. Above: Lori Flynn, Mary Ann Holler, and Jenny Ingram.

When they arrived, they broke up into small groups, and spent the day riding the ex- citing rides (especially the new Eagle) eating, visiting the various shops, and generally a fun time. Much reddened by the sun, the seniors and six teachers departed for home at 5:00 with various souvenirs. One of the buses konked out on the way home, so the tired group had to change vehicles at Crescent Ci- ty and finally arrived in Hoopeston around 9:00 p.m. This was truly an unforgettable day!

He plans to take a job as Athletic Director and head Basketball Coach at Clinton Illinois High School. Mr. Byrd, one of the most respected coaches in Eastern Illinois brought HEL’s basketball program to one of prominence. This year’s state ranked team compiled a 25-3 record. His 1978 team won the sectional and regional titles before falling to Mason City in the Class A supersectional. The 1974 team, also a big winner, finished with a 23-5 record. Three times, Byrd was named district coach of the year by the Illinois Basket- ball Association. Mr. Byrd, a graduate of East Richland High School in Olney and Bradley University will be immensely missed by us all. The yearbook staff wishes Coach Byrd, his wife Jan, and his children the best of luck in the future. 130 GILBERT MOORE The high school staff gave Gilbert Moore a retirement party on May 29, 1981. After 22 years of service to District 11, Gilbert was presented with a portable fishing chair and some money. See page 21 for further details. SPORTS 131 Volleyballers End Season With a 7-16 Record The HEL volleyball team ended their sea- son with a 7-16 record. Although this was not a winning season, it was a time for rebuilding. The team was comprised of one senior, three juniors, seven sophomores, and three fresh- men. Senior Kim Ward placed first on the second All Conference team. Kim was also recog- nized as the most consistent server, Janie Bruens — most consistent spiker, Teri Hardy — hardest spiker, and Teresa Bugera — most consistent setter.

Ms. Mulcahey in her sec- ond year as coach, said that she viewed the year as one of rebuilding since there was only one returning letterman. The 13 girl team lacked substantial depth as well as experience. High point getter for the season was Bonnie O’Neal who averaged 12 pts. per game. Freshman Kim Strawser at 5' 10 led in rebounds with an average of 8 per game. Sole senior Vickie Clyden led in assists with an average of 6 per game. Best defensive player award went to fresh- man Nancy Buhrmester. Both Vickie Clyden and Bonnie O’Neal were voted All Conference special men- tion. Bonnie was also named Cager of the Week by the Commercial-News. The season ended in the first game of the regional where they succumbed to Cissna Park by a score of 62-31.

The single records were set by: Karen Poison — 200 — 29.12, Teresa Bugera — 400 — 1:02.6, Kim Strawser — 100 low hurdles — 18.66, and Janet Clyden — 200 low hurdles — 34.5. Nancy Buhrmester, the brightest track star at HEL in many years set three individual records including the 800 run — 2:28.2, the 1600 run — 5:33.5, and the long jump — 14'8 . New team records established this year included: Janet Clyden, Karen Poison, Mary Silver, and Teresa Bugera — 400 in 54.7, Karen Poison, Kim Strawser, Cindy Crain, and Julia Putnam — 800 relay in 2:01.1, Janet Clyden, Teresa Bugera, Mary Silver, and Nancy Buhrmester — 800 medley relay in 2:02.5, and Julia Put- nam, Nancy Buhrmester, Janet Clyden, and Teresa Bug- era — 1600 relay in 4:21.3.

Several games were cancelled due to the extremely rainy weather in April and May. Leading home run hitter for the year was Bonnie O’Neal who knocked three over the fence. Sophomore Jeanne Field maintained the highest batting average and compiled the most RBI's. Pitchers for the year were Debbie Hughes and Julie Mathews. Patty O'Neal served as stat girl. Even though the young team had a trying season and lost their first game in the regional, things should certainly look up for them next year as they will lose only three seniors.

The team missed a fourth con- secutive trip to state finals by only four points in the sectional. This year’s team ranked in the state’s top 25 throughout the entire season. And even though disappointed about not going to state, they did defeat two state finalists in the District. All Conference honors were awarded to Kirt Davis and Bill DeWitt while All Confer- ence honorable mention went to Javier Lopez. The sole state qualifier was sopho- more Kirt Davis.

Coach Rich- ards said he was pleased with the season because even though they lost alot of starters at the beginning due to injuries they pulled it off and ended up successfully.” Awards were given to: Gary Shoufler for the most pins (22) and most wins (35), most 3 point predicaments and team points (194), Mike Shoufler for most takedowns (69) and most escapes (23), Dave Johnson for most 2 point predicaments (28) and most escapes (23), and Tim Oyler for most reversals (35).

Although no school records were broken, the boys did manage to place fourth at the Hoopeston relays, second at the Rensselaer relays, and tenth at the Unity relays. Moreover, they finished fourth in the Wauseca Conference meet and eighth at the District meet.

Kirt Davis qualified for state in the 1600 as did Billy DeWitt in the 800, but both failed to place in state competition.

As the work comes to an end, our staff has the relief of finishing a goal. We hope that you find this book full of special memories, especial- ly in the years to come. My thanks goes to the core staff — Joan Tolch, Mary Ann Trent, Terri Tolch, and Ms. Odle. Also, thanks to Bernie Solis, and Javier Lopez for their photography assistance. We hope you enjoy the map on the cover and our road sign theme. As you travel on the road of life, may you always get back on the right road in spite of all the detours. Tambra Oberlander Additionally, I would like to thank the rest of the staff who gave of their time and effort in ad solicitation, picture selection, name identifica- tion, and the book sale assembly. A special word of gratitude should be conferred on those area businesses who contributed to the ad section. Without such support, the cost per book would be much higher. Thanks also to Mr. Sheagley who came through in many tight” moments, Sudlow’s Bob Shiffo who took the club pictures, and our Taylor representative Bob McElwee who was always there when we needed him.
