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
