Text from Pages 1 - 224 of the 1988 volume:

A Year in the Life A Year In The Life 1 On a cold and sunny day in October we put on our best cold, crisp sunny day provided the backdrop for our parade. The juniors came up with the winning float, a giant hand revolving to erase a blackboard with Giants written on it. The freshmen took second with a Windex bottle for the “Wipeout” theme. The sophomores’ cake took third, while the seniors’ root beer float was last. The Ace Club beach scene float was colorful as the band led the way. King Jay Meyer and Queen Erin Anthony smiled despite the icy wind. The senior girls had one of the most crowded, and certainly the most noisy, trucks. And this was all brought to you by the student government. 2 Parade Parade 3 They carry us to school and make us feel cool; they are our David Kruzan: 1983 Jeep CJ7 an you pick the coolest cars in the student parking lot? Of course, it isn’t easy to do, and almost everyone has his or her favorite car ... including his or her own! And true, let’s face it, all our cars are cool, and they each have their own metallic personality. But, nevertheless, we asked around for the coolest cars, and some experts, who will forever go unmentioned on these pages, picked the ones from the student lot to appear on these pages. We could not, of course, include all the cars; so let these stand as a sample of the many cool cars that take us to and from, here and there, anywhere. Cara Schillinger: 1987 Honda Prelude John Uinstead: 1987 4 Wheel Drive Toyota Brian Turner: 1975 Cheverolet Nova Steve Tabb: 1986 Nissan Hard body Stephen Bell: 1986 Pontiac Fiero Shawn McGath: 1967 Ford Mustang Marc Robertson: 1986 Honda CRX Coolest Cars 5 For the Crimson cagers December was time for a his year the boys basketball team participated in three shootouts: the 7-up shootout in St. Louis; the West Central shootout at the Bowl, and the shootout in Springfield. Many fans were on hand at Kiel Auditorium to see Coach Roustio and the boys defeat Parkway West. At home, Rick Conn stuffed the ball as all-stater La-Phonso Ellis watched. Andy Kaufmann grabbed rebounds while Todd Myrick and Mike Petefish played deep away. 6 Shootout The rumors start quickly; he rumors start with the first flake: “We’re gonna get out early!” The lunch ladies clear their cars while Mr. Jack Howell clears the front walk to the buses. Mr. Young and Mr. Wainscott direct traffic as the rural students wait for the first buses. Casey Sherrow and others wait to use the pay phone. Cars start to creep out of the student parking lot. The drivers ed car isn’t going anywhere today. The buses come and soon the halls are clear. I Out Early 9 For the J’ettes New Year’s came out 10 Peach Bowl e raised $20,000 for this trip. The bus picked us up at 1:00 a.m. We drove nonstop to Atlanta, Georgia, arriving at 1 p.m. We began practice that night at the hotel, the first of four days of practice held in the rain. On the day before the game we marched two miles in the Peach Bowl parade. The next day, still cold and rainy, we spent five and a half hours performing in the pre-game, and at halftime, one highlight was doing the splits in the mud. That night we had a big banquet. We started Christmas with our week of is the season ... Christmas Spirit Week helped to spread good cheer throughout the school. The halls were a flood of red and green as students donned holiday sweatshirts (garnished with tinsel and bow or two) and sang along with the old-time Christmas carols that were played between every hour. In the middle of the week, Old St. Nick (Andy Everett) dropped by for a short visit and photo session. At the Christmas Assembly, everyone was treated to “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” sung expertly by thirteen of our most spirited faculty members. You never know when your face will be part of the aces in the crowd. Look for yours. Juniors and sophomores gang up at a night football game. Donna White and Dina McCurley are part of the fall mob. Titonia Scudder is in the center of things. The J’ettes bask in the sunshine. Lisa Eoff and junior friends take in a basketball game. Todd Myrick sells raffle tickets for the hall of fame. Emily Berry holds her mouth open. Kim Gain is among the soccer fans, who look like they are at a beach party. Junior and sophomore guys hang on the fence at the football game, waiting for the girls to stroll by. The football team, faces telling the story, celebrates in the locker room after a victory. 14 Faces In The Crowd Faces In The Crowd 15 A Year Of Events 3 (1) Crimson football fans give the photographer a smile (2) Bruce Wright and Jeana Brown do the twist.

Spirit Days included “sign-your-shirt” day (a Crimson first), twin’s day, and the traditional class color day. On Friday, all Crimson fans decked out in Red and White. In place of the usual battle of the classes, a club competition was choosen as the main event of our Spirit Assembly. Nine organizations competed in three zany events — a “dizzy” relay, a flipper race, and a frenzied scooter race. German Club won first place. To conclude the assembly, the newly-organized “Crimson Kazoo-ers” gave us their rendition of our school song. Strolling down the lavishly decorated Senior Hall between classes, students enjoyed listening to the favored song of the week, “Wipe Out.” No doubt about it, we Crimsons have spirit! Seniors struggle to win the tug of war at the Spirit Assembly (1) (2) Aparna Prabhakar, Molly Bradley, Jenny Wood, and Jacki Pinney are right on pitch with their Crimson Kazoos.

The game was held on Wednesday, October 14, at 4:30 on the soccer field. The Seniors scored the first and only point of the game in the first quarter. The rest of the game consisted mainly of just pushing the ball around. Coaches for the Senior Girls were Johnny Heaton and Troy Mitchell. Tim Otken was the Juniors’ coach. Kim Smith, Kim Wilson, and Beth Pollaro were thrown out of the game while Becky Quigg was busy making 15 yard penalties for the Seniors. After the game, Senior girls cooled off with Patrick Swayze in “Dirty Dancing.” It was the time of our lives. Seniors show their winning spirit.

Athletic Field, the annual Bonfire was held. Once again, as luck would have it, the rain came down. The Crimson spirit, however, was not dampened. The cheerleaders, with a little assistance from the Varsity Football Players, led the crowd in spirit-raising cheers. Several players then gave their views on the next day’s game. After nearly an hour of suspense, Mr. Young introduced the 1987 Homecoming court and announced the Homecoming Queen and King, Erin Anthony and Jay Meyer. Erin Anthony was crowned by our 1986 Queen, Heather Baptist. Andy Ezard, the 1986 King, was also present. After the announcement many students lined up in the streets for a Crimson Snake Dance that ended on the square. Others remained at the field to socialize around the fire. The crowd gathers around the Bonfire (1) (2) Heather Baptist crowns Erin Anthony as Marc Robertson and Kristy Pahlman look on. (3) Kristy Pahlman hugs Jay Meyer after he is named King.

The night got off to a good start with the girls watching a Chippendale’s video and pigging out on pizza. Some of the girls stayed around to watch “A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, PART III,” while the others played volleyball, basketball, racketball, lifted weights, and swam. The girls began decorating posters for senior hall towards mid-morning. A lot of pictures were taken throughout the evening. Soon many people became a little tired. Those who dared to sleep got their share of toothpaste and shaving cream before they woke up. A special thanks to Mrs. Ryan, Miss Fehl, Miss Goss, Mrs. Aldrich, and Miss Webster for chaperoning the exciting evening. And to Dorothy Spradlin, Cara Noble, and Tiffany Morthole for planning the big event. Everyone stretches out to watch a movie and sleep (7) (8) Beth Scearce with her shaving cream.

The west gymnasium, decorated in blue with sparkling silver stars and streamers, provided a different and darker setting for the dance than those in past years. Musical entertainment for the evening was provided by the John Bartley Band from Collinsville. Coronation took place at 11:00. J.D. Glisson, the Master of Ceremonies, introduced the Reigning Homecoming Court: Queen Erin Anthony, King Jay Meyer, Kristy Pahlman, Bobby Thomson, Elbe Huber, Marc Robertson, Missy Ward, Stephen Bell, Marnie Hamel, and Rick Hinds. The 1986 Queen Heather Baptist crowned the new queen; then the King and Queen shared their traditional dance to “She’s Like The Wind” by Patrick Swayze. This year’s Homecoming Dance was indeed magical and one that we will all “reflect” upon in the years to come. 2 The 1987 Homecoming Queen and King, Erin Anthony and Jay Meyer (1) (2) 1987 Homecoming Court: Marc Robertson, Ellie Huber, Bobby Thompson.

Homecoming Dance 25 Fall Play: “Whose Life Is It Anyway?” This year theatergoers were treated to a powerful combination of comedy and drama in JHS’s production of “Whose Life is it Anyway?” The plot of “Whose Life” centers around Claire Harrison, a sculptor who has had her artistic ability taken away when she suffers paralysis in an auto accident. Claire decides during her long recovery that living without the ability to express herself through her art is not a life worth living. She subsequently requests to be discharged from the hospital so she can die naturally. The hospital’s medical director refuses to release her, stating that she’s clinically depressed and, therefore, not able to make a rational decision for herself. This begins the conflict between patient and doctor which is brought to a climax in the final, deciding court room scene. The cast for “Whose Life” included: Kelly Austin (Claire), Debbie Althoff (Nurse Anderson), Stacy Coleman (Mary Jo Sadler), Rachael Wiest (Hannah Scott), Brian King (John Osborne), Kristi Nies (Dr. Joan Emerson), Jennifer Brown (Mrs. Boyle), Kathy Wood-worth (Magaret Hill), Joy Caldwell (Miss Kershaw), Leah Norris (Dr. Paula Jacobs), Cynthia Burke (Dr. Ashley Barr), Mike Ladd (Andrew Eden), and Mark Burnette (Judge Wyler).

The music was provided by Sound Adaptors. Unlike the Homecoming Dance, the festivities were held in the cafeteria. The seniors elected to the court included Kris Tobin, Michelle Perrine, Sarah Wessels, Cindy Hayes, Shanan Mast, Brad Vesper, Tim Cassons, Kyle Leonhard, Jason Hall, and Jason Cook. A large squad attended the dance to see Brad Vesper and Kris Tobin named as King and Queen. The royal couple were crowned by 1986 Queen, Karin Curtis, and 1986 King, Jody Claussen. Everyone who did attend the dance dressed in formal attire, which added to the elegance of the evening. “Falling in Love With You,” by Brian Adams, was played during the Queen’s Dance. A special touch was added when some parents chose to dance with their son or daughter after the King and Queen had been crowned. For the Freshmen, the Tinsel Twist was the beginning, for the Seniors, it meant the last Christmas Dance of their High School career.

This year the Christmas concert was a big hit as the choir combined with the orchestra and band in presenting a selection of Christmas songs. The treble choir sang “I wonder as I wander” with sopranos Amy Mitchell and Kazue Kiyohara singing solos in English and Japanese. The choir also sang “Manger Boy” and “Christmas Song.” The mixed choir sang “Sing Gloria”, “Gaudeamus,” “Tiny King,” and “Come to the Manger.” Jacki Pinney and Shannon Wright sang a delightful duet, “Christmas on the Isthus of Panana.” The combined choirs sang “Let there be peace on earth.” Choir Concerts 31 Band In Concert The concert band performed in seasonal concerts throughout the school year. The band was under the direction of Mr. Steve Jones. In the Christmas concert, held in conjunction with the choirs and orchestra, the symphonic band opened the program with “Fanfare Prelude on a Westminister Carol” by James Curnow. The brass ensemble played a “Pastorale” by Arcangelo Corelli. The members of the ensemble were Erik Hack, Garry Sittler, Jacki Pinney, Debbie Piper, Matt Doss, Chris Wills and Mike Downing. The symphonic band continued the program with “Paris and Helena Overture” by Christoph W. Gluck, and “Christmas Music for Winds” by John Cavavas. In the spring concert, the band played a “Fanfare for a New Era” by James Currow, “Sonato for Clarinet,” “Valse Brilliante,” “Aiia,” “Polonaise,” “Menuetto,” “Polichin-elle,” and “Air and Dance.” Other selections performed included “Mutably Peg,” Quiet Mood,” “Dead Ringer,” “Hello Nightime,” and “Four for the Money.” Students Celebrate Black History The Black History Month program was presented twice during the school day in the auditorium on Friday, February 5. Jimmie Barber, a superintendent at Mobil Chemical, and Mrs. JoeAnna Caldwell, a school board member, were the keynote speakers. Shonetta Franklin, a senior at JHS, was mistress of ceremonies. Edward McPike, a member of the senior choir at Mt. Emory Baptist Church and an employee of School District 117 maintenance department, sang two selections: Lift Every Voice” and “There Is Not Failure in God.” Ms. Kari Knudtson directed the concert choir as it sang the spiritual “Ain’t That Good News.” Ms. Lillian Ford, a counselor at JHS, was the program coordinator. The pictures on these two pages highlight the various activities which took place during the well-attended presentations.

Mr. Barber makes a point during his talk. 34 Black History Sweetheart Dance The annual sweetheart dance which is usually held in conjunction with Valentine’s Day on February 14 was held this year after the fact, long after Val’s day was gone and forgotten. But nobody seemed to mind. In fact, the dance has turned into less of a sweetheart dance than a buddy dance as most people who came to the dance were not paired up with anyone, but rather they came as groups and danced in packs to the music of the DJ. The dance was held in the very warm cafeteria, despite the cool weather outside. All styles of dancing and casual dress were the order of the day. One favorite as always is: “You make me wanna shout!” That calls for some double-deck dancing. 36 Sweetheart Dance “MUSIC MAN” SPRING PLAY Excellent singers and dancers, Pat Grenda and Amy Wagahoff starred in the JHS production of “The Music Man” this spring. Supporting Pat and Amy were the entertaining characters of Kelli Austin as the mayor’s wife, Mark Burnett as the mayor, Emily Berry as Zan-eeta, Corey Jobe as Tommy, and Debbie Althoff as the Widow Paroo. Of course, the quartet of the “School Board” members was a huge success and included Matt Sherrow, Shawn Baptist, Doug Cormeny, and Mike Downing. The unforgettable chorus of the show was one of the best JHS has seen. The hard-working lighting and set crew for the play included Leah Norris, Brian Brannan, and Alex Rothdeutch. The crowd was magnificent — Congratulations to Mr. McCoy, Marlene Ebry, and Angela Morris on a great show. Spring Fling Week Spring Fling Week fell right after Easter break this year. Spirits were not too high because students were reluctant to come back to school after their week long rest. The week opened with favorite vacation t-shirt and sweats day, always a favorite with teachers. Tuesday was Easter pastel color day. Everyone was decked out in pinks, yellows, lavenders, and light blue. Crazy day was designated for Wednesday. Imaginations soared and creativity in clothes and accessories was highly visible. Thursday was dress-up day, a day that brings out the best in many people. Everyone’s favorite day was Friday. Although the weather wasn’t perfect, it was Hawaiian Day. Most of the students took advantage of being able to wear Bermuda shorts. The week concluded its festivities with the annual Air Band Dance. 40 Spring Week Air Band Video Dance One of the most popular events held at Jacksonville High School each year is the Air Band Competition. This year it was held during a video dance. There were two big screens to watch the Air Bands on. Volunteer groups of students organize themselves into their favorite bands and then practice lip-sync performances often in costume to a top hit by that group. Most of the competitors go all out bringing props along with their costumes and make-up. This year the top performers included a group of seniors and a junior: Kyle Leonhard, Tim Casson, Brad Vesper, and Donny Hawrysz. The first person to perform was Brenda Baptist who was Cyndi Lauper. Taking the competition was Kyle, Tim, Brad, and Donny. “Hold On To The Night” The theme for the 1988 Junior Sen-ior Prom was “Hold on to the Night”. The dance was held at the American Legion and looked great. The Class of 1989 did a very good job decorating the Legion. They had maroon and blue balloons and silver streamers. In the middle of it all they had a fountain. The pictures were taken with the couples standing on the bridge that had been made. The entertainment was provided by Starry Eye. The prom court selected by vote of the students consisted of Jim Ash, Jennifer Aggertt, Steve Tabb, Melissa Walls, Mike Dawdy, Gratia Bone, Troy Mitchell, Rachel Smith, Pat Grenda, and Gretchen Blake. Melissa Walls and Mike Dawdy were selected queen and king. 44 Prom Prom 45 A Year As Seniors 2k V Ellen, Tara, and Julie smile for the camera. (1) (2) Bobby Thomson poses before class.

We were “greeted’' by seniors who were twice our size. We were “blessed” with the halls without carpeting. We started out our high school career by taking first place with our Winnie the Pooh float. It was our first Homecoming, “Heaven”, and pretty much our first everything else. And ... to top it all off, we spent our weekends at the infamous Pizzans. As sophomores, we took second place with our Balloon Float and the theme of our second Homecoming was “Forever”. Who can forget the day that our class won the Spirit Stick at a pep assembly? We couldn’t wait to get our class rings. And this was the year that most of us began to drive. It was at this time that we made our appearance at Hardees for the first, but definitely not the last time. Our Junior year, we came in as upper-classmen. We moved from our two year “homes” to a new hallway. Wre took third place in the float competition and lost at cageball by one point. But ... we made our vows to win as seniors. The theme of Homecoming that year was “Edge of Heaven”. For many of us, it was our first prom, “Never Say Goodbye”. And, of course, we continued to cruise Hardees. Our years at JHS have been full of memorable and not-so memorable moments. As we all go our separate ways after graduation, there will be times that we won’t want to forget. But, it’s not really the end for us all; it’s just the beginning. — Erin Anthony Erik Hack Jeff Haley Jason Hall Mamie Hamel Katie Hamm Mark Hanson Andrea Hart Beth Hartsook Kim Hartsook Cindy Hayes David Hays Jennifer Heaton Johnny Heaton Tricia Hickey Larry Hill 54 Seniors George Hill Rick Hinds Jeff Hopper Chad Howell Ellie Huber Trent Huddleston Ben Hughes Tim Hutchcraft Jason Irlam Melissa Irlam Tamara Isaacs Matt Jagitsch Michael Johnson Mark Jordan Joseph Kao Seniors 55 1 Jason Irlam psychs himself up for class.

But .. we had a lot to look forward to!! Homecoming came right awray. We decided that we didn’t want to spend very much money on our float so ... we used pomps from our past floats. To start the week off, there was the annual Senior Girls' Overnight and the big shaving cream fight. Then came CAGEBALL!!! The senior girls pulled together to earn their well deserved victory. Later that night, many senior girls could be found at the theater drooling over Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing. Our Senior Homecoming is one we won’t forget; we even had nice weather! Everyone has his own memories of his senior year. It’s all of those memories put together that make our last year at JHS special. — Erin Anthony Seniors 59 Doug Megginson Steve Merkel Jay Meyer Crista Middendorf Angela Miller Troy Mitchell Carmella Moore Michelle Morath Tiffany Morthole John Murphy Jacquie Myers Kristi Nies Cara Noble David Ommen Becky Owen Kristy Pahlmann Janet Parker Tom Pasano Carrie Pennell Gina Pennell Michelle Perrine Ellen Petty David Phelps Monica Pidcock Debbie Piper 60 Seniors Michele Pitts Julie Plautz Amber Prewitt Becky Quigg Kirk Reining Greg Ringle Marc Robertson Danny Robson Rob Rodems Aimee Rosenberger Andy Rouland Jonathan Roy Kelly Ryan Robyn Ryan Nichole Salstrom Tammy Schiedenhelm Beth Searce Craig Seymour Sammy Shafer Bonita Shaw Matt Sherrow Brad Smith Chris Smith David Smith Rachael Smith Seniors 61 Dirk Spears Dorothy Spradlin Dawn Staples Pam Stock Jimmy Stout Shawn Stout Wendy Sturtevant Rhonda Sweetin Steve Tabb Dawn Taylor Jacquie Terrill Chris Thomas Bobby Thomson Kris Tobin Ana Paula Toledo Brad Vesper Greg Vogt Melissa Walls Missy Ward Tonia Watkins Leanne Welch Rich Wellenkamp Dennis Werries Sarah Weasels Doug West 62 Seniors Jon Wilkerson Chris Wills Kathy Woodworth Bruce Wright Holly Zimmer Carrie Zulauf Harold Willner What’s wrong Dawn Robyn?

We wore For-enza sweaters, in all colors, with or without a shirt, sometimes a tank top underneath, or even two Forenzas. Lee jeans and white Keds with no shoestrings or socks was the fad until cold weather. After Homecoming we liked to keep warm with suede ankle boots, also referred to as elf boots. The place to be seen freshmen year was Pizzans. Everywhere you looked you saw mini-skirts, topsiders, and Reeboks. A few of the more daring wore brightly colored neon sweatshirts and socks to match. And, of course, everyone had colored jelly bracelets and you were to always wear more than one. Sophomore year came quick, and was sort of different because the class of 88 wasn’t the youngest anymore. Now we go to Hardee’s where everyone went wearing their Guess jeans. Esprit clothes, and add-a-bead chains, and Swatch watches. This is the year we got classrings and licenses. Back to school as an upperclassman!!! We started that year with Outbackred clothes, ripped faded jeans, stone washed everything. To go along with that, leather lace up boots and socks over the jeans was definitely in. Guys thought it was cool that year to have football numbers shaved on their heads. Finally! ... After a long wait we all we made it to our Senior year. The attire was a little more free, more casual, we were finally permitted to wear mini-skirts. Keds. Liz Claiborne, frosted jeans and a lot of jewelry was what everyone was wearing, but anything goes. The styles haven’t changed much ... but we have!

A Year In Sports Sports 135 Starting Over With A New Coach The boys football team, under the leadership of new head coach Pete Lira and his staff, opened the 1987 campaign on two very positive notes. While most anticipated it might be a long and tough year for the Crimsons, they came out of the locker room fired up at the start of the season as they knocked off former conference rival Macomb 14-7 before a big crowd at the JHS athletic field for the home opener. They followed up that positive start with a thrilling 9-6 victory over Quincy High School in the Blue Devils backyard. The coach and team cited that moment as the highlight of the season as the Crimsons won the game with :24 remaining in the come-from-behind victory. The next three contests proved to be hardest for Jacksonville. The Crimsons traveled first to Edwards-ville where they were beaten 26-7, followed by a 34-0 shutout by powerful Washington High School. They then ran up against state contender Griffin and were handed a 40-7 decision. The remaining victory for Jacksonville came on a 16-14 win over Metamora. The Crimsons dropped a 24-14 decision to Canton in the Homecoming game. The last two losses of the year went to Chatham Glen-wood by a 22-9 margin and to Springfield Southeast by a 26-13 spread.

Football 139 Girls Glide To 32-4 Record Season The girls volleyball squad posted the most wins ever by a JHS VB team with 32 while reeling off a record 18 straight wins at one point in the season. Playing as an independent, the Crimsons were ranked as high as fourth in the Class AA state poll. They finished second in two prestigious tournaments and won the regional championship. All four losses came to na- tionally ranked teams. A highlight for sure was beating seven time state champion Mother McAuley in the Pumpkin tourney. DeeAnn Bryant finished her career at JHS with a fourth in career scoring, followed by senior Jennifer Ag-gertt, who holds the sixth spot. Cheryl Carter broke the single season scoring total with 264 points this year. Beth Foster set a new school record of 163 straight serves without a miss, also setting the record of 99.4% serving average for a season.

Another highlight for the kickers was a first place finish for the championship of the Sangamon State University classic tournament. Besides having the most wins in a season (14), the Crimsons had other marks with Shawn McGath tying for most goals in a season (17) and most team points (21). Thad Stremming broke the record for the best goal per game average with a 1.1%. Most valuable player honors went to Shawn McGath, who also took home the most valuable offensive player.

Soccer 145 Girls Return For An 8-7 Season The girls tennis team returns to defeat some teams which had beaten them in the early part of the season as the JHS netters chalked up an 8-7 season under new head coach Deena Webster. After losing to Chatham Glenwood 6-3 and Macomb 5-4 earlier in the 1987 campaign, the Crimsons came back for a 6-3 win over Chatham and a 5-4 margin over Macomb. It looked rough for the young squad at the start as it dropped the first three matches to Sacred Heart, Hannibal, and Ursuline. But the Crimsons rebounded with wins over Quincy and Taylorville. JHS lost the next three straight before getting key wins over Southeast, Lan-phier, and MacArthur. After a loss to Springfield High, the Crimsons closed out the year with three straight over Jerseyville, Macomb, and Glenwood. Stephanie Cantrell and Tonia Vortman got to the third round of the IHSA sectional tournament for a highlight for the Crimsons. Cara Schillinger received the MVP award while Aimee Boudreau was named as most improved. Individual records had Cara Schillinger with a 9-6 personal tally while Tonia Vortman posted a 10-5 personal mark. Seniors on the squad included Kris Tobin, Kathi Davis and Kazue Kiyohara, an exchange student from Japan. 3 Betsy Matthew reaches to return a serve (1) (2) Kris Tobin follows through on a top spin forehand (3) The 1987 Jacksonville High School Girls Tennis Team 146 Girls Tennis Girls Tennis 8-7 JHS OPP 0 Sacred Heart 9 0 Hannibal 9 4 Ursuline 5 5 Quincy 4 7 Taylorville 0 0 Hannibal 9 3 Chatham Glenwood 6 4 Macomb 5 5 Southeast 4 4 Lanphier 2 6 MacArthur 3 3 Springfield 6 7 Jerseyville 2 5 Macomb 4 6 Chatham Glenwood 3 7 Heidi May is caught off guard by the camera (4) (5) Cara Schillinger returns the ball with a look of determination.

The most valuable runner for the boys squad went to Jon Roy while Robinson took the award for the girls team. Tyler Howren, Chad Ved- der, and Roxanne advanced to the sectional round of the IHSA cross country competition. At sectional, Howren finished 67th and Vedder took 112th while Robinson qualified for state with an 11th place finish. In the Lanphier frosh-soph invitational at Lincoln Park, Kevin Cannell was the champion with a time of 17:26, followed by sophomore Jason Ketner with a time of 18:41 for 21st. In the JHS invitational, the Crimsons were tied for third in a field of nine, while the girls were third in a field of eight teams. The victories for JHS as a team came against Glenwood as the Crimsons took a slim 26-29 win. JHS raced over Taylorville 15-50 and nipped Southeast 23-32 at Lincoln Park. They also defeated Lanphier 23-32 at the Com- munity Park course. The losses came at the hands of Quincy, Alton, and Jersyville in a four team meet at Jacksonville. Quincy took the prize with a 32, followed by Jerseyville with 53, Alton 55 and Jacksonville 69. Springfield High edged Jacksonville 26-29 in a run at Lincoln Park.

This golf squad became only the seventh JHS team to compete in the state tournament. The Crimsons squeeked by Jerseyville 163-169 in the opening match of the season, and kept cruising along until hitting the brakes against a very talented Quincy squad in a close match. Mike Deaton captured MVP honors, while Troy Mitchell, Jeff Bradley, and Deaton served as tri-captains.

But this season of STBS will be remembered for a long time as one of the longest and best in the school’s history. How about these firsts: first ever Class AA regional title with a victory over Quincy; first ever Class AA sectional title; and best record ever for the school, 25-4. Highlights of the year included advancing to the state tournament level in the Class AA Supersectional at Peoria where the Crimsons finally met their match against Manual. The Crimsons also won three prestigious “Shoot-outs”: the 7-up Shootout in St. Louis over Parkway West; the West Central Illinois Shootout at the Bowl over 1987 and 1988 state champion Lincoln of East St. Louis; and the shootout at the Prairie Capitol Convention Center over Lincoln High of Lincoln. Senior Andy Kaufmann became the all time leading scorer at Jacksonville High and the second all time scorer in the history of Illinois high school basketball with his career 3,160 points. Kaufmann took the MVP award as well as top rebounder with 246, top stealer 59 and top free throw percentage with 84%. Dan DeGroot was the top field goal shooter with 60% while top defense and assists went to Todd Myrick. It was an exciting offensive team which averaged 79 points per game and packed the Bowl with overflow crowds. Varsity team members are, front row, left to right.

Boys Basketball 153 Basketball 155 We Had Fun On The Tournament Trail The basketball season had many highlights before the squad got to post season play, but still everyone was anticipating better things to come when the regular season came to a conclusion. The school had never won a Class AA regional, often colliding in the final game with regional rival Quincy, who had prevailed in some very close games. But this year could be different. Tournament fever swept the school and the community. The battle for tickets was on as the IHSA assigned the tournament to Chatham Glenwood; limited seating there meant some students and season ticket holders might be left out in the cold. After breezing over Tay-lorville 81-56 in the first game, the Crimsons met arch-rival Quincy in the finals of the regional. In perhaps its most impressive win of the year, the squad dominated the Blue Devils all the way for a thrilling 79-63 win. On to the sectional at the Prairie Convention Center where the Crimsons got revenge on Springfield High 74-46 in the first round and clipped Champaign Centennial 59-58 for the sectional crown and a trip to Peoria for the Supersectional where the Crimsons lost to a powerful Manual team, 86-66.

Baseball Season 33 Games Long With the dry, hot weather in the spring of 1988, the Crimsons boys baseball team was able to get in 33 games, finishing with a 15-18 record and a big victory over Lan-phier High in the first game of the Springfield Class AA regional. The Crimsons got off to a slow start with losses to Jer-seyville 6-2, state power Griffin 13-10, and Spring- field Southeast 7-4. They won their first of the season with 15-4 win over Springfield, which ironically would end the Crimsons’ season with a 7-0 victory in the second game of the regional.

For the second year the J’ettes formed two squads — Varsity and J.V. Both squads were wonderful in all performances. The year started with 12 of the girls attending WIU Dance Camp in June. They brought home a superior trophy and Kristy Pahlmann was chosen Universal Dance Star. In July, both squads traveled to EIU for four days to Showstopper Camp. The Varsity brought home 1 superior and 2 excellents, and the squads combined received the “Sell it Suzy” Doll. Kristy Pahlmann, Elbe Huber, Lesley Ankrom, Lisa Hart, Karla Stock, and Crystal Lockwood were chosen Showstopper All-Stars and they performed at both a Chicago Bears game and in Florida. Both squads com- 170 J’ettes peted in two more competitions and hosted one bringing them a total of 6 first places and 3 seconds. The J’ettes also traveled to the Peach Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia, and participated in parade, pregame, and halftime festivities December 29-January 3. The J’ettes were able to go to the Peach Bowl because of lots of work from both the girls and the J’ette Parent Organization. Overall the squad raised $22,000 for this trip. The J’ettes ended their year by hosting the IDTA State Contest at the Bowl. The Varsity received 5th in State for their Pom routine, and 1st in State for their Prop routine, crowning them the 1988 State Champions in the prop category. J’ettes 171 All The Way . . . All The Way ... Go Red! The 1987-88 cheerleaders followed their teams “All the Way!” The season began with tryouts and then the squads prepared for camp. The freshmen and sophomore squads attended UCA camp in the summer and earned 1st place. They also earned a spirit stick for the week. The Varsity squad attended DCA camp and earned 1st place as well. They, too, earned a spirit stick and several other awards. Both squads qualified to go to a national competition. All three squads cheered for both football and basketball, and this was the first time in a long time that the squads did a combined cheer. At Collinsville, the Varsity squad earned 1st place with the support of the sophomore squad. The Varsity squad performed their award winning dance “Jump to It” and the freshman sophomore squads combined to perform their award winning “Conga” dance. The highlight of the season was following the basket- ball team all the way to the “Sweet 16”. It was a year that they will never forget. There’s no doubt that this year was the “BEST KIND”! 3 Varsity cheerleaders are, front to back: Mamie Hamel, Shana Arthalony, Julie Meyer, Stacey Stewart, Amy Wagahoff, Kim Gain, Michelle Perrine, Erin Anthony, Amy Herrin, Lori Keen.

(7) Drum majors Gretchen Blake and Cory Jobe lead their band. In one short year, The Marching Crimsons have come a long way. Under the leadership of its spirited drum majors, Gretchen Blake and Cory Jobe, and its determined band director, Steven Jones, the band participated and received high recognition in numerous parades and field show competitions. In August daily practices were attended by the incoming freshmen to learn marching basics. Later, all band members united and began the task of learning drill and memorizing music. Often band practices lasted late into the night, requiring real dedication on the part of the band members. All of the band’s hard work paid off when it won first place in the Griggsville Parade. The band also received second place at Mt. Sterling and third place in the“Echoes of the River” competition in Alton. Keeping with tradition, the Marching Crimsons took part in three homecoming parades — IC, MacMurry, and our own. An added sparkle to the half-time show (which included “Los Gallos”, “Tiger of San Pedro”, and “Battle Hymn of the Republic”) was a percussion solo written and choreographed by Mr. Jones and the drum section. The flag corp and drum majors also broke tradition with new metallic flags and se-quined uniforms. Nicole Dreher added color to “San Pedro” with her baton routine. Although in time, members may forget the long hot hours of practice, the thrill of being the best is a feeling that will remain with them always.
