JACKSONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Crimson J Jacksonville High School 1211 North Diamond Jacksonville, Illinois 62650 Volume 75 —-——’ 9 Top left: Amy Hess and Danny Williams leave school. Top right: Mattie Freeman and Steve Crites stroll down the hall at lunch time. Bottom left: Tina Standley works in the media center. Bottom right: Nancy Prewitt, Sharon Donovan, and Amy Cowgur wait for a ride after basketball practice. Students’ lives are always busy. They dash to school for their first hour class, and they race back and forth to their lockers during the day. They run for the lunch line and short study halls, and finally at the end of the school day, they rush to get out to their cars or buses. A typical day might include hustling to avoid a tardy first hour, taking tests, and finishing last minute assignments. Students listen to teachers’ lectures, take loads of notes, and enjoy a short break for lunch and conversation. They sleep in study hall, look up information in the media center for research papers, and finally wait patiently for the 3:30 bell. Before school the students fall quickly in with their group of friends. They can be seen lounging together in these groups before schools in the cafeteria or in the class halls. This is the time for finishing last minute homework and talking about everything that happened the night before. Hectic though it is, the life of a student at school is only a small part of the student’s life. Life at home or on the job, a life of activity or recreation, looms beyond the building. 2 Opening Opening 3 Top: The staff of the Crimson J in 1911 posed for this very formal shot. The members of the staff, as listed in the annual, are Lewis Osborne, Florence Spruit, Blanche Perry, Josephine Ross. Ruth Raylor, Esther Vasey, Davis Martin, William Hadden, and Charles Withee. Bottom: The first high school building in Jacksonville that the Crimsons J served was this building on West State Street. The school burned one night just after midnight in 1918. With this edition of the 1985 yearbook, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Crimson J, the high school annual which was first published in 1910. Although we do not have at this time a copy of the 1910 edition, the media center at the school does have one copy of Volume Two, which was published in 1911. In its reserved section the media center has at least one copy of the Crimson J for each year since 1911. The Crimson J has evolved over the years in its format, meeting the needs of the changing times. The 1911 edition is a rectangular paperback with eighty pages and minimal photographs compared to the modern hardback copies of 200 pages or more with ample pictures. The 1947 J cost two dollars while this volume is $15. Throughout the history, the Crimson J has provided the same essential service of recording the names and faces of the classes and faculty, a catalogue of organizations, the activities, and the sports and scores for each year. The scope of the J has changed as the school has evolved. The J has served three high school buildings. The first building burned in 1918 and was replaced by the building on West State Street in 1922. The new high school on North Diamond was occupied in 1982. Not only have the buildings changed, but the size of the classes have altered as well with 61 seniors listed in the 1913 yearbook compared to 289 seniors in the 1985 roster. The Crimson J is one of the best sources for information about the school’s past. In 1935, for example, Jacksonville lost the district basketball championship to Mur-rayville High School (that’s right . .. Murrayville High School) by 44-32. Over the years the J has covered the activities of a wide range of clubs which' reflect the interest of each generation. Some of the clubs in the past include: the Ushers Club, the Bird Club, the Hunting and Fishing Club, the Knitting Club, the Projectionist Club, the Baby Sitters Club, the Future Teachers Club, and the Commercial Club. Better than any other document, the Crimson J has recorded for future generations the full range of the history of Jacksonville High School. 4 Opening Top: The members of the 1984-85 Crimson J staff pose in a classic fashion.

Students at Jacksonville High School hold a wide variety of jobs in the area. Last year we saluted students working in some of the fast food restaurants and grocery stores along Morton Avenue. This year we also went into the country to catch some of the students at work on the farm, doing their daily chores or driving combines and trucks at harvest time. Doing their work, students not only earn the dollars that make them important consumers or savers, but they also get a taste of the responsiblity demanded by the world of work. When the visiting German teachers and students were here this fall, they were amazed by the JHS students' response that many worked from between 10 to 30 hours a week after school. Time on the job can even give you a new outlook on school.

Bottom right: Junior girls make hall decorations. 8 Opening From individual activities like weight training to a large activity like hand or chorus, the range of events sponsored at Jacksonville High School gives each student a chance to find something exciting to do. The activities calendar, which is posted each month in the hall, is a packed schedule that keeps the gyms, the auditorium and the cafeteria hopping. The student government has worked hard this year to bring more activities into the calendar. On the serious side, student government helped organize a local chapter of SADD, Student Against Driving Drunk. Come out to the high school day or night, Monday through Saturday during the school year, and you are likely to find a beehive of activity in some part of the building. Top right: The Marching Crimsons perform in the MacMurray parade. Bottom left: Seniors have a good time at the Christmas Dance. Bottom right: Mrs. Holloway and Mr. Kennedy are rock fans on Crazy Day.

The tones sound at 3:30. The halls fill — rapidly, and lockers slam. Students hurriedly pull on coats, gather up books, and jingle their keys as they head for the parking lot or the school buses. I he school day is over. But this isn’t an ordinary end to just any day. Today is FRIDAY! The weekend means it’s time to shed the regular school routine, put homework aside, and relax. The Crimson J staff followed students into their after hours world to sample some of the activities. We found students having fun at athletic events, dances, parties, restaurants, movies or shopping centers. There seems to be a re-occuring complaint that there just isn’t enough to do that is exciting in the area, so students have to work at finding fun things to do. We found one thing to be true. The friends we make at school are the ones we have the good times with after hours. 10 Opening Top left: The freshmen cheerleaders hold the banner for the football team at the start of a home game.

Opposite page, center: Foreign exchange students Asta Kanervo, Marika Emanuelsson, and Kirsten Tobiason meet in the halls. They represent the respective countries of Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. Because we moved into a new facility three years ago, much of the talk around the high school has been about the building and the improved opportunities it has to offer the students and the community at large. In the midst of all the proud conversation about the new school, we don’t want to neglect a salute to the people who are the primary reason for all of us being here. This generation of students carries on a tradition of free public education in the Jacksonville area that stretches back into the mid-1800’s. Like the generations before them, the current students reflect the make-up of the surrounding urban and rural area. Moreover, six foreign exchange students enriched our ranks this year. They included: Marika Emanuelsson, Asta Kanervo, Raquel Kosberg, Reinaldo Marin, Mary Perez, and Kirsten Tobiason. 12 Opening Opening 13 Our Spirit weeks . . . the student government .. . the sports teams . .. the bands . . . the choirs . . . Super Crimsons .. . The Wave .. . cheers like “85, 85-80-80-80-80, 85!” . .. watching a football game in a driving rain . . . the confetti at the Griffin game ... the bonfire . . . pep rallies. What do all of these events have in common? They are all an important part of Jacksonville High School throughout the year because they help to keep the Spirit alive. Beginning with the first days of school, the Spirit blossoms with the start of the fall sports programs and the first meetings of the wide variety of extra-curricular clubs and activities. The Spirit does not lessen but grows as we survive the hype of Homecoming and move indoors for the winter months. It reaches a'fever pitch just before Christmas break and keeps us going through our finals in late January. Spring arrives, and the Spirit bursts outside again on the playing fields, tracks, and courts. The Spirit gives the school its life.

Before the academic year begins, the department handles pre-registration in the spring. Then, the week before school starts, the guidance department helps register every student, making sure that the student is taking courses which fit his or her needs and which will keep the student in line for graduation. Throughout the year, the guidance department is on hand to help with personal or school related crises. It also provides help for future educational or occupational plans.

Academics 41 Spirit Week and Cageball 1984 Spirit Week began on the Sunday before Homecoming with the senior girls decorating senior hall territory and lockers. For a little more excitement, the senior girls decorated junior hall with toilet paper and taped lockers shut. Other days during Spirit Week included T-shirt, Button and Shades Day; Twin Day; Dress-up Nice Day; Crazy Day; and Red and White Spirit Day. The senior and junior girls, dressed in the varsity red and white football jerseys, squared off in the annual cageball game on Thursday night. Much controversy occurred during and after this game. Unlike pervious years, the senior squad did not win as the game ended in a 3-3 tie. Both teams claimed a victory, although an official winner was not declared.

Activities 45 The heat is on The bonfire was held outside the JHS athletic field on Thursday, October 18, 1984. The varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders started off the evening with a few spirit chants for the teams competing that weekend. After this, the captains of the football team, with the assistance of team members and firemen, ignited the bonfire. Mr. Wainscott, the master of ceremonies, introduced Mr. Young, who announced the ten court members and the 1984 homecoming king and queen, Tom Jones and Michelle Roegge. The night was a success and many students, faculty, alumni, and parents were present. The YMCA was alive on Friday, October 12, 1984, when the senior girls stayed over night. Some of the girls watched the movie, “Psycho,” while others enjoyed the pool, racquetball courts, gymnasium, and weight room. The girls will always remember the loud, annoying fire alarm that sounded early in the evening. The doors were unlocked at 6:00 a.m., and the tired, but happy girls filed out.

For the seniors, who have experienced rain for the Homecoming parade for the last three years, things seemed as usual. It began to rain before the parade started and did not cease through the course of all the Homecoming activities. Despite the downpour, the excitement of Homecoming did not diminish. The parade entries showed their spirit by riding through the wind and rain. The few youngsters who watched the parade along the route received large amounts of candy ... if it didn’t reach a puddle first. The first place float, captured by the Freshmen, displayed Winnie-the-Pooh and a pot of honey in a garden of flowers and butterflies, carrying the theme “Sweet Victory”. Seniors took second; Sophomores finished third, and the Juniors got fourth place. The student government, and the faculty advisor, Mrs. Brown, did an outstanding job of organizing the parade despite the weather. . ‘' t Above: The seniors displayed a scene containing a tepee and a canon with the slogan “Blow ’em Out”.

Soccer Crimsons grab regional The varsity soccer team ended another fine year with their fourth consecutive winning season. With probably the strongest schedule in the school’s history, JHS emerged with a 10-8-1 overall record. Nine of the ten wins were by shutout, thus breaking the school record for most shutouts in a season. No conference records were kept because only three teams played in the conference this year. Although the team had many good players, tri-captain Carl Leonard stood out as an all-sec- tional player and the leader in assists. Tri-captain Rob Karr was the top scorer with 11 goals. The Crimsons tied with Griffin to share first place in the JHS round robin meet. The Crimsons advanced to the IHSA sectional with a 1-0 over Peoria Manual. They finished the season with an 8-0 loss to state power Quincy Notre Dame. The junior varsity squad ended its season with a 5-5-1 record.

The staff immediately went to work on the opening and senior sections, which are early fall deadlines with color pages. A major item for the staff at the start was the great push for more ads to help with expenses. Debbie Petefish and Sandy Pahlman headed that effort, although everyone sold ads. Editor Leslie Willard helped organize each section and contributed designs in the activities section in particular. After working on the ladder of pages, the staff went to work on the opening section, academics, senior section and underclasses, activities, sports, and organizations. Top: Shelley Middendorf.

Under the direction of Mrs. Jackie May, the thespians started off the year with their successful “Arsenic and Old Lace.” One of the most encouraging features of this production was that it attracted a large group of underclassmen to the audititons, with many of them landing spots on the final cast list. Taking leading roles were Mark Burnette, Celeste Hill, David Phelps, Andy Middleton, Catherine Burnette, Brad Karr, and Todd Hamilton. The thespians went all out to make a success of “South Pacific” on a very tight schedule.

Selections included “America the Beautiful” and “The Creation.” Closing 207 Graduation The commencement exercises for the Class of 1985 were held Friday, May 31, at the JHS Bowl, starting at 8 p.m. The class of ’85 lined up in front of the old high school building on West State Street. Joining the graduates in the two block procession were the members of the District 117 board of education, the administration of the district and school, and the faculty. The Class of ’85 was the first class to complete all four years of high school at the new school. The District orchestra played “Pomp and Circumstance, Opus 39, No. 1.” Father Bud DeGrand of Our Saviour Church gave the invocation.
