Dear Mrs. DeOrnellas, The class of 1982 would like to thank you for filling our junior and senior years full of great memories. Your guidance and encouragement really meant a lot to us, as it helped us accomplish our goals. With your support, we were able to persuade Mr. Young into allowing us to have a junior and senior banquet. Without your assistance, we would never have been able to host the First Annual JHS Class-Competition Olympic Night, produce such a fine prom, or capture first place in the float competition our senior year. You were always there when we needed you, knowing how to handle every situation. We are very grateful to you. Mrs. D. The Class of 1982 will never forget you. We are looking forward to seeing you at our class reunions. Until then, thanks for all of your help and good luck in all of your future endeavors.

Freshman Not Pictured: Lynette Brown Kay Daly Sue Davis Scott Eades Mark Evans Cheryl Foiles Kim Hoff Linda Howard Jeannette Kelly Earl McGlasson Teresa Neff James Raleith Leonard Rouland Lisa Sanders Robert Smith Helen Spradlin Terry Turner Tim Waggerner Although the “Class of 85” is isolated from the Sophomores, juniors, and seniors, they are still considered ah important part of the high school. During the 1981-82 school year, they began to show just how much a part of J.H.S. they really are, by playing an important role in many high school activities. The freshman participated in various school functions this year. Not only did they have strong participation in their team’s sports, but they also participated in the Junior Olympics, the play, “Denny and the Witches,” and especially, the Homecoming events. First, the class up held the school tradition by entering their float in the parade. They placed fourth, but this didn’t daunt the “Class of 85”, because they came back and showed us their strength by almost winning the tricycles races; the freshman were the only ones that could stay on the bikes! Many freshman were also seen at the bonfire, the dance, and the game, cheering our team on to victory. The Class has also had a few difficult times this year. Many freshman can tell you about how difficult it was to concentrate in class with all the construction work going on. But, the new high school finally began to take shape and the cafeteria was even finished in time for the Christmas dance to be held in it. By January 4 the students were able to move to the new section, which holds new rooms, the assembly hall, and the new lockers; which are rather difficult to manage. Short people have the bottom lockers. Yet, the freshman have an advantage over this years sophomores and juniors. Next year, while they are wandering around the high school trying to find their classes, the “Class of 85” won’t get lost. The freshman are not leaving the final scene at J.H.S., but are playing an important role in the high school’s new beginning. 62 The Sophomores came to J.H.S with mixed fellings, hesitant to leave the security of Jr. High, yet eager to accept the responsibility of high school and the challenge to grow. After the first week of school, the Class of ’84, beckoned by the social and academic life of high school, merged well into the halls of J.H.S.; so well, that no one was quite certain whether the people racing down front hall were seniors or sophomores. But the sophomores were forced to remember they were underclassmen when spirit week came. They could be seen on slave day, carrying books, tying shoelaces, and even holding up traffic in front of the high school. The Olympics finally gave the sophomores the chance to get even with the upperclassmen. Not only did they win the first Olympic games held, but they rose to the challenge a second time and won the Olympic games again! The Class of ’84 also had some first experiences including final exams, where some sophomores realized the teachers were serious when they said to “save notes, spelling lists, and old tests”. Driver’s Education was also a first for the sophomores and by the middle of the year many sophomores could be seen “cruising” around the high school. The Class of ’84 along with the Class of ’83, will have the distinction of being one of only two classes to have attended both the old high school and the new high school. As they leave the final scenes of J.H.S. the sophomores will carry with them many memories. As the Juniors started their second year at J.H.S., they began to realize that they were part of the upper class. Front hall was no longer off limits, and they could pass through without hearing a senior yell, “Sophomore in front hall!” The Junior class of 1982 contributed a lot to the sports activiites. Three-fourths of the Pom-Pon squad was made up of juniors. The football, volleyball, and basketball teams also had a number of junior standouts. All in all the junior class proves itself as a very active class. They held the 2nd annual Junior Olympics to help raise money for Prom. Even though they didn’t do so well, they were able to raise some money. The junior year is thought of by many as the hardest year in high school. Everybody can remember staying home the night before the Constitution, and missing dollar night to study a bunch of facts that in a year by now may all be changed. The ACT was another big requirement for the junior year. Many students found it hard to decide if they should stay home the night before and study, or go out and party. And remember how hard it was to find the right room to take the test in? Every student was trying to cram his schedule full of required subjects so he can “coast” his senior year. When 1st semester came to an end you could find many juniors in the counselors office trying to drop a course. Many students came to realize that they couldn’t handle such a full schedule. This years junior class had many experiences at the old High School, but we are looking forward to being the first class to graduate from the new high school. So we go forward with many happy memories and a bright outlook towards the future as the curtains close marking the final scenes from the Newton-Bateman High School. 61 rfoMlN ST Za 770a Cfu oaA ex Mr. Thomas Young Principal Colleges attended: Greenville College, Eastern Illinois Southern Illi- Neal Brawner Assistant principal Colleges attended: S.I.U. — Car-bondale, Sangamon State Cliff Thaxton Chairman — Guidance Colleges attended: Illinois College, MacMurray, S.I.U.E., W.I.U., U. of I., Purdue_ Connie Dietrich Guidance Counselor Colleges attended: S.C.I., W.I.U., S.S.U.

The fighting Crimson squad downed Decatur Eisenhower in an outstanding 21-0 victory. The 1981 Crimson football squad was led by new head coach Hud Venerable, and quad-captains Kevin Bolling, Scott Everett, Reg Fortado, Chad Strowmatt. Several seniors that displayed commendable skill throughout the ’81 season were Kevin Bolling, Pat Cleveland, Scott Everett, Reg Fortado, Scott Hungerford, Darren Scobbie, and Chad Strowmatt. Junior quarterback Brian Nyberg and junior Kelly McMillan also displayed exceptional effort. Several sophomroe letter winners that saw varsiy action were David Bunfill, Steve Hodges, Tim Howell, Keith Morris, and John Whitacre.

District, and I.H.S.A. State Final; Jacksonville did not compete as a team. Only individuals participated as representatives of the Jacksonville High School Girls Tennis Team. SENIOR TRACI FAIRFIELD The season started with three tough matches: Glen-wood (3-6), Quincy (1-8) and Sacred Heart (0-9). In these meets the only winning players were Michelle Roegge (2 out of 3 singles), Traci Fairfield (1 out of 3 singles) and Kelly Menard (teamed with Michelle Roegge for one doubles’ win. It wasn’t until the fourth match that they finally tasted victory, beating Ursuline (8-1). The biggest win was against Taylorville on Sept. 21 during which time more of the J.H.S. girls lost including our Junior Varsity. Although there were many high points during the year, the one that stands out the most happened during the loss to Springfield High. Even though the contest was already decided, Jill Bergstrom and Kathy Spring, behind 2-6 in a pro 8 set, didn’t give up. Not only did they tie the score at 8-8, but went on to win the tie breaker 7-3. That one match, was the best example of the team’s attitude. At no time did they acknowledge their defeat, but pressed forward and at least during this match were the victors. Michelle Roegge, the only Freshman, this year, went to District with a 9-2 singles record. MOST IMPROVED - CATHY SPRING Varsity: Front Row L-R Kim Price. Danette Robson. 2nd row Coach Larry Sample.

The Varsity squad accomplished a lot of “first-evers”, while the Junior Varsity squad won the Capitol Conference Title for the third year in a row with a 20-4 record. The Crimson girls earned respect from the teams they placed this year. They became the first team to ever win the Capitol Conference in Volleyball at J.H.S. (undefeated), won their own Crimson Invitational Tournament, captured the District Championship by beating 5 state ranked Sacred Heart, and became the first J.H.S. team to ever win the Sectional Tournament and go onto be one of the “Sweet 16“ teams in the state of Illinois for Class A A volleyball. It will be tough to duplicate a 27-3 overall record and a 12 0 Capitol Conference slate next year, but the Crimsons will be returning 5 starters from this years squad — Juniors, Tammy White. Sarah Kitchen, Susan Kitchen. Devi McCurley, and Freshman, Kathy Murray plus the addition of some excellent sophomore prospects from the J.V. Squad. The Crimsons will have a difficult time replacing a player such as Michele Vesper. Michele set a single season scoring record at J.H.S. this year by serving 260 points. She also was the top scorer in the Crimson Invitational Tourney and was voted this years Most Valuable Player award. Besides Michele, the team will be graduating seniors. Karen Irlam, Mary Sorrells, and Debbie Wagahoff. All in all it was definitely a year to remember for the players, coaches, and fans. Varsity Volleyball 93 JV VOLLEYBALL JV — Front row L-R: Mgr.

The play of the team this year has varied greatly; the team has beaten many teams by large point spreads, but they lost many matches by large point spreads, too. The team has faired fairly well this year with the stating six of David Brown, number one; Stuart Gonzalez, number two; Chris Clark, number three; Darren Scobbie, number four; Jeff Blue, number five; and Tim Tribble holding the number six spot.

By doing this, the youth of our nation will be faced with the challenge and adventure of following Christ, participating in His Church and serving Him through our vocations. The club conducts meetings twice each month and they hold the meetings at the students homes rather than in the school building. They attend church as a group once a month to any area church that the huddles agree upon. They participate in some form of money making project so they will be able to send as many students to either the spring or summer conferences. This year the students collected cans of food for the Salvation Army. Members are encouraged to attend regional or national conferences to determine how they can help the students of J.H.S. become better adults. First row: D.

The purpose of J.A. is to teach practical business knowledge by operating a mini-scale business. A board of directors elect officers, produce a product, sell it and pay wages and commissions, rent, and other expenses that would be encountered in a real business situation. Besides all of this practical knowledge, several events are held in this area that they can participate in. For example, here in Jacksonville, J.A. has pizza and skating parties. In Springfield there are social events such as dances, hayrides and banquets. There are also opportunities to attend business conferences, like the one held this year at the Lake of the Ozarks. At the end of each year there is a trip to Six Flags and competition for officer achiever of the years. All in all, J.A. is a lot of fun and experience.

To become a thespian, a person must work on two high school shows at a different capacity, being both on and off stage. The student must also acquire ten working points before he can become a member. After he receives the ten points, he must then go through the annual initiation. After this initiation, he is then inducted into the thespians at a formal ceremony. This year, the thespians attended the Illinois High School State festival at the University of Illinois in Bloomington. At this festival, Joy Hardwick played a role in a state festival play.

Arts Week got Art Club rolling with much excitement over face-painting, bake sales, a trip to Springfield and the exciting event of winning the homecoming float competition. March was designated as Youth Art Month, and they tackled it with great enthusiasm. The members were very busy making banners to brighten the Plaza and encourage people to participate in the Arts. One of the big events of Y.A.M. was the successful Art Show at Nichols Park Pavilion. Art Club got all of the Arts together to contribute to a highly successful full day. During Y.A.M. the Art Club motorscooted their way to Chicago to visit the Art Institute, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and several galleries. The National Art Honor Society and students from MacMurray and I.C. were invited along to make the trip a great success. Art Club did many other activities such as making buttons, having bake sales and taking part in the holiday celebrations by making Christmas stockings and Easter baskets to sell. They had three visiting artists, Nick Kriple ceramics sculpture, Jack Decoteau sculpture and Chuck Marsh portraiture comp., visit the art department this year, showing their work and explaining their careers.

The Powder Puff game was cancelled due to insurance liabilities, it was replaced by the ever-popular cageball game, which turned out to be just as rough, if not rougher, than Powder Puff. Cageball was so well known that the Senior girls devoted part of their overnight to making up the rules, by experimentation. A lot of the students were very upset at the cancellation of the Powder Puff game; however, after playing the game of cageball, the girls found out they could still take out their hostilities on each other. Also, the guys still got to dress in drag and bounce around like fools. Half time entertainment was provided by the Pisgah Tech band and the finals of the tug-of-war between the Senior and Junior boys (Seniors victorious, of course). Another break from tradition was the replacement of Seniors as referees and timekeepers by faculty and staff. This was the Seniors did not get a chance to change the outcome of the game through the officials, but they were still victorious. gmms TGoeiTicw We also saw a lot of changes in the days of spirit week this year. For starters, there were only four days instead of five to raise our spirits for the Homecoming victory. Also, we saw the addition of several new days: garanimals day, uniform day. dress crazy day, and survival day. Furthermore, hat day and 50’s day were excluded from this year’s activities. There was, however, the traditional T-shirt and button day, as well as the Kiss a Senior, Hug an Athlete day. And of course, there was the Sophomore Slave Day. This year the slave day was moved to Wednesday due to the Education Fair on Tuesday, so the upperclassmen could take full advantage of their rule. This is always a particularly colorful day. This year found Sophomores tying shoes, carrying books, sharpening pencils, pushing pennies, carrying trays, and singing songs. One poor Sophomore was even forced to put on a Bonanza hat and stop traffic in front of the school to take their orders.” Bonfire 157 The 1981 Homecoming parade began at Duncan Park at 10 a m. and made its way up to the plaza. This year Student Council planned to take the parade not only to the plaza, but all the way around it as well. Unfortunately, the rain caused the early withdrawal of the marching band and poor visibility for those who braved the conditions. Some people huddled under the awnings, but the not so brave could be seen looking out the windows all along the parade route. The Seniors took first in the class float competition. The Sophomores came in second, and the Juniors third. The newly formed Art Club captured the non class competition. 158 Homecoming Homecoming 1381 The theme of the 1981 Homecoming Dance was “Open Arms.” This event marked the end of a week of special activities which included a victorious afternoon game for the Crimsons. Ken Bilger and Laura Floreth were crowned King and Queen by last year’s royalty, Jeff Turner and Connie Lukeman. Robin Bryant, Lori Gibbs, Beth Anne Scobbie, Sheri Smith, David Brown, Bryan Crowder, Scott Everett, and Jim Heyer were members of this year’s court. Students, guests, teachers, and Parents kicked off their shoes to dance to the music of Mathias. 160 Dance iopej) Asms 4 Dance Page 161 The cast and crew: On floor (l-r) Tim McKula, Amy Wagahoff, Beth Cassels, Tracie Nolan.

Howard Coats and Shawn Melton were crowned King and Queen at the pep assembly, on Friday, and they reigned over the festivities at the 1981 dance. The snow court members were Rhonda Byus, Jill Gustine, Sheila Van-Eman, Kerrie Vedder, Kevin Bolling, Eric Perrine, Darren Scobbie, and Thom Woodward. Santa also came by surprise and passed out candy canes to everyone and announced the 1981 Christmas Dance 165 sophomores relay way to Olympic victory QjR9 “We’re cool!” Is it really Ozzy? Spring Fever Week was a somewhat new addition to the high school routine. This event was similar to last year’s Burn-Out Week, but Student Government was still experimenting to find the most successful way to shake the “spring fever” felt by so many students. Each day brought a new event, including Preppy day, Physical day, St. Patrick’s day. Urban Cowboy day, and T-shirt, button, and shades day. The Art Club took an active part in promoting the week by making buttons and posters. They also held bake sales and decorated cakes to commemorate each day of the week. One of the other events that took place during the week was square dancing in the small gym on Urban Cowboy day. On Friday a Fine Arts Assembly was held to acknowledge the achievements of students in the area of fine arts. Also at this time, the Spring Fever Week cakes were raffled off, and the winners from various contests held throughout the week were recognized. The fun-filled week was rounded out by a semi-formal dance held at Armstrong. A special D.J. was hired and J.H.S. experienced its first air band contest. Watch those calories! 168 Spring Fever “82” Punk Out! t Each day of Spring Fever Week not only meant a new theme day, but a new contest as well. Jim Frank and Katie Thompson were voted “preppiest boy and Preppy People girl,” while David Brown and Michelle Miller won “physical attire honors. Bryan Crowder found the most hidden shamrocks, and Rob Shafer and Becky Birdsell received the most votes for “Urban cowboy and girl.” On T-shirt, button, and shades day, Scott Belobrajdic and Sheila Van Eman won awards in an unannounced “attire of the day” contest. Jay Bates, David Brown, Rhonda Byus, Pat Cleveland, and Greg May won the air band contest with their imitation of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts singing “I Love Rock and Roll.” These contests combined with the other events of the week helped make Spring Fever ’82 a week to remember. The Gang Let’s get physical!” It’s a Hoe Down Spring Fever “82” 169 CARNIVAL marked the final theatrical production at the Jacksonville High School Newton-Bateman building. JHS seniors Alex Galvez and Joy Hardwick, accompanied by juniors Tracy Crowe, Tim McKula, and sophomore Allan Leckbee had leading roles in this colorful magical musical. CARNIVAL, is the story of an orphan girl who joins the Carnival in search for love and a home, and discovers that “love makes the world go ‘round.” JHS staged this production on a full-scale set affording the highest budgeted show in the history of JHS. CARNIVAL also marked the first production to incorporate the new image of the JHS Theatre. With a new logo, a new image, and a new attitude, the theater formed a lasting art that will be carried into the new school. Cast includes: Top row: (I to r) — Brett Dawson, Tracy Crowe, Larry Sittler, Page Hardwick, Tom Burleson, Edd Hall, Sonya Banker, Troy Birdsong, Retta Myers.

Mrs. DeOrnellas, Senior Class Advisor, gave a reminiscing speech of past experiences, and Class President, Allan Yow gave a inspiring speech to the Senior Class. 172 Jr. Sr. Banquet On May 1, 1982, close to 400 juniors, seniors, faculty, staff and guests congregated at McClelland Hall to celebrate the 1982 Junior-Senior Prom. Being attired in formals and tuxes did not hinder the livelihood of this group as the dance floor was constantly packed with people dancing to the music of the Gold Dust Band. Queen Tecla Fuhrig and King Chad Strowmatt who were crowned by last year’s king and queen, Lori Walker and Mike Howard, reigned over a room decorated in blue, silver, and white. Also, included in this year’s royalty were court members Linda Lebesch, Lisa Storck, Terri Taylor, Debbie Waga-hoff, Pat Cleveland, Eddie Flynn, Jim Frank, and Buzz Hoon. The theme of the prom was “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, and the message to never give up on your dreams was exemplified by a fantasy type atmosphere which included balloons, and a beautiful cardboard castle built by Steve Althoff and his family. Prom 173 mams To the Class of 1982 METAMORPHOSIS You started as busy caterpillars when you were freshman. The 9th grade dances held at Turner and Armstrong were exciting nights. Recall the Armstrong 4 gala carnival sponsored by an active Student Council. As sophomore cocoons, the Class of ’82 took 2nd place on its homecoming float with the guidance of Julie Stoner, Sophomore Class Advisor. The class had an active year with a Style Show, Bake Sale and Button Sale. Exciting events were driver’s licenses, class rings and Randy Swanson as the new health teacher! Carefree juniors emerged ready for a busy year. Under the able leadership of President, Kathy Lacey, the class sold bumper stickers, received another 2nd place on its homecoming float (Dice ’Em Up), and originated the first all-school Olympic Competition between classes. Finally you organized the Jr.-Sr. Banquet and Prom, “Keep On Loving You'’ amid burgandy, pink and white decorations. As seniors, you changed into beautiful butterflies — ready to fly. You took off with a 1st place homecoming float “Flush ’’Em Royal”. Senior girls captured the first Cage Ball contest. Also, the senior girls celebrated homecoming with an overnight at the Y. Class meetings were held. Senior pictures were taken. Red T- shirts proclaiming “The Tassel Is Worth the Hassle” were selected. The juniors hosted the Jr.-Sr. Prom, “Don’t Stop Believin’”. The senior trip to Six Flags was unique — the first in many years. Love Feast was held at the Blackhawk with many special awards presented. The Class of ’82 leaves its mark for abundant musical talent, outstanding athletes, dedicated scholars, and strong positive leadership. As you fly away, treasure your memories. Your touch was light, but your mark distinguished! Janet DeOrnellas Class Advisor BACCALAUREATE 178 Baccalaureate Baccalaureate 179 s'- 1 ' T ffisnsi Mill The Jacksonville High School commencement exercises for the class of 1982 were held on June 2 at 8:00 p.m. in the J.H.S. Bowl. A capacity crowd of friends and family came to listen and to watch the students receive their diplomas from the school board. In spite of a very cool night, temperatures in the bowl were very warm! As the many graduates marched into the gym, the J.H.S. orchestra performed. The top scholars of the class sat up on the stage, facing the rest of the senior class. The graduation messages to the class of ’82 were delivered by Shari Weed and Eric Perrine, who were chosen by the honor students from among their group. Thomas Young, principal, presented the class of 1982 to the board of education and to the audience. The last night of high school years left many smiles and tears as students remembered all their good times and also the final farewell to the Newton Bateman building. 180 Graduation The closing weeks of the 1982-82 school year were filled with activity — frantic rushing to finish term papers and semester projects, banquets honoring achievements in sports, C.V.E., and academics, the ninth grade dance at the Armstrong center, and those dreaded final exams! For the seniors, it was a special time. The traditional Love Feast, which was held at the Blackhawk restaurant on May 21, was really a night to remember. Allen Yow, senior class president, acted as Master of Ceremonies and introduces Eric Perrine and Martha Hazelrigg who presented many “awards” to members of the class. (Pit Queen?!) The film, showing some of the memories of high school years that we all share, brought a lot of laughs and a few tears. Mrs. “D”, the class sponsor told of her experiences over the past three years with the class of ’82. Mr. Young related some of the incidents from his own high school years. At the end of the evening, all those who attended this year’s Love Feast felt a special closeness and each carried with 182 Graduation him very special memories. Baccalaureate was again held at the chapel at MacMurray College. This year, the invocation and the benediction were given by Rev. Jean Reynolds. The main speaker, Rev. Howard Bloom-quist talked on the topic “I’m done” or is it ‘I’m finished’.” The Concert Choir of J.H.S. performed for the service. Junior Marshalls Steve Althoff and Katie Thompson led the class of ’82 for baccalaureate services and also for the graduation ceremonies. As we all leave the Newton Bateman building for the last time, we do so with mixed emotions. Those of us who are graduating look forward to a new phase in our lives, whether it be college, work, or raising a family, It is a beginning. For those of us who will be at the “new” J.H.S. next year, it will also be a new beginning; new rules, new classrooms and teachers, new friends.
