Title Page 1 School notes its century of progress, achievement Jefferson has long been concerned with the quality of education given to its students, and this concern continues with the present high standards associated with this community’s educational system. The Jefferson school system originated with a log cabin on the west side of Jefferson in the 1830’s, and has experienced many changes since. Today’s modern buildings represented by the senior high with its impressive auditorium and up-to-date computer facilities, and West Elementary School were preceeded by various other log and brick structures, including the present day East Elementary School, which opened in 1940, and the middle school, which opened in 1925, after a fire destroyed it the year before. The population of Jefferson schools has grown considerably. In 1864, four students graduated from the high school. In 1937 all of the schools together contained 451 pupils. There are now 1836 students in the public school system. Jefferson continues to grow with the constantly changing world. TABLE OF CONTENTS Theme 2 Special Events 20 Organizations 36 Sports 64 Faculty 86 Classes 102 Index 162 2 Theme CO (Opposite page bottom left and left) From 1907 to 1924, three fires destroyed school buildings, the most destructive fire occurring in 1924. (Below left) Floor plans show additional classroom space added to the original 1968 high school building. (Below) The sign in front of the school, which was donated by the Student Council in 1968, now serves as a bulletin for future events at the high school. (Opposite page top and left) What is now known as the middle school was once a religious institute and then the high school. The building was added onto in 1957 by Bray Associates. (Opposite page bottom right) Additions to the high school, including these north classrooms and the auditorium, were completed in 1976. Thei 3 JHS goes through several stages of development The current Jefferson Senior High School began construction in 1962. The cost of the school was $900,000 or $12.75 a square foot. As years progressed, new additions became a reality. In 1969 the pool was completed, along with the industrial arts rooms at the south end of the building. In 1976 the auditorium, band and choir rooms, the library, and more classrooms were added to the north side of the building. At the 1964 dedication program, architect Lawrence Monberg remarked that the city of Jefferson could be proud of its forward look concerning its educational system. Many have contributed to make this building possible. Members of city government, School Board members, townspeople, and the educational staff have all provided the support needed to guarantee educational success. Commented Dr. Phelps, president of the School Board: “The community itself through the CPA and our auditorium, with our educational system, is turning around to concentrate on our new academic climate and society. This is not happening by accident. This is happening through the dedication of School Board members, administrators, and professional teachers who have dedicated themselves toward academic excellence.” 4 Theme (Opposite page top left) The new west entrance addition includes the auditorium, district offices, and a parking garage.

Theme 5 Area school one-hundred year story is catalogued Area schools have been the foundation of Jefferson High School, and their history must be noted. Area parochial schools have been important to Jefferson. St. John’s Catholic School was built in 1955 and boasted 372 students in that year, with enrollment this year holding at 151. St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran School was built in 1865, with the present school being built sixty years later. Recent enrollments reached 223. St. Peter’s Lutheran School, built in 1957, taught 63 students. Jefferson’s East and West Elementary schools both held a little over three hundred students each. Sullivan Elementary noted about 250 students, with the middle school noting an enrollment of over 300. Mr. Wayne Sheil was principal at East Side Elementary, with Mr. William Bluege heading West Elementary, Mr. Dan Wenkman Sullivan Elementary, and Mr. Allan Peters the middle school. The middle school (above), built in 1925, was first presided over by Principal Gordon Mertenson. (Right) Jefferson Senior High School tallied an enrollment of 678 for the past year. 6 Theme (Left) West Elementary School was built in 1969 because of population expansion. (Below left) East Elementary School was constructed in 1939 as a PWA project and is considered to be an architectural landmark. (Below) St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran School was first headed by Pastor Ungrodt. Mr. Degner is the principal now. (Above) Sister Paulita was St. John the Baptist Catholic School’s first principal, with Mrs. Mary Steele heading the school for the past four years. (Left) Sullivan Elementary School was built in 1957 and added onto in 1976. Theme 7 College scholarships awarded by local businesses Area businesses and organizations have always been willing to provide the support needed for a strong educational system. Nowhere is this more strongly evidenced than in the scholarship opportunities provided for Jefferson’s graduating seniors. There are over fifty-seven chances for graduating seniors to receive financial aid through scholarships offered through local businesses and organizations, as well as through various colleges. Over ten area businesses such as the Carnation Company, Jefferson Cold Storage, and Schweiger’s offer various amounts to seniors, some amounts as high as six thousand dollars. Counselors have been eager to provide promising students with the information necessary to educate seniors about such opportunities. For these many scholarships students are grateful, one student calling such offerings a “blessing.” Added the student, “Many students wouldn’t be able to achieve their personal career goals because of the lack of funds.” (This page) Jefferson, and especially its Main Street (above) were always busy, even as early as the early 1900's. The Heger Brewery (above right) and the Copeland Shoe Factory (right) were two productive industries in early Jefferson. 8 Theme (This page) The Schweiger Industries, the Carnation Company, and the Spangler Seed Company have all contributed to make Jefferson a healthy place in which to learn. Theme 9 Jefferson’s businesses employ many JHS students Jefferson’s businesses have helped to support high school students in a variety of ways. Scholarships have been provided, for instance. Another form of support has come through the employment of many high school students, who find jobs a way of earning job experience as well as much-needed cash. Students worked at a variety of places, the most common including drug stores, grocery stores, and fast food places. The average student worked between fifteen and twenty hours, although a few worked as many as thirty to thirty-five hours a week. The average pay per hour seemed to hover around the three dollar mark. Jobs ranged from attendant, to cook, to bus boy, to clerk, al- though some of the more unusual jobs included a lab worker. Many students had already held jobs for three years. Lori Block observed, “One of the best things you can get out of a job is the experience of working with other people.” Jefferson businesses made this experience possible.

Many changes occur in student curriculum options The curriculum line-up at JHS has undergone many changes over the years. In past years it was standard procedure for students to choose a field and to pursue their goals by taking one of the four curriculum tracks offered. The four tracks consisted of: the General Course, for people who were not continuing education beyond high school; Agriculture, for students interested in farming; Teacher Training, for students wishing to become teachers; and the Commercial Course, for students pursuing a business career. The course offerings varied within the different tracks. For instance, the General Course offered English, penmanship, Latin, physics, history, and other selections. Animal husbandry, plane geometry, and agronomy were available in the Agriculture track. Future teachers were r quired to take English, algebra, p ysiology, and various methods c isses, as well as many other coui ses. The Commercial Course included shorthand, bookkeeping, typing, and other work-related courses. If you hear students complaining about course offerings, tell them that they are lucky. They could have had even fewer choices in the past.

Theme 13 Rules for teachers experience changes in century Rules for teachers have changed. Take a look at the following list of rules for teachers in 1872: 1. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly. 2. After ten hours of school, the teachers should spend the remaining time reading the Bible or other good books. 3. Women teachers who marry or engage in other unseemly conduct will be dismissed. 4. Any teachers who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barbershop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity, and honesty. 5. The teacher who performs his labors faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an increase of 25c per week in his pay, providing the Board of Education approves. The science department of the 1950's included not only the standard textbooks (right) but also some still recognizable members (above). Can you recognize Mr. Follensbee, Miss Marshall, Mr. Nodolf, and Mr. Hoffman? 14 Theme (Mr. Flegl (left) continues to teach Chaucer to Jefferson’s future adults.

She has taught business and math classes as well as handling the duties of librarian. (Above) This was the original theater in the Jefferson High School one hundred years ago. (Bottom left) Mr. Nodolf attempts to teach Jefferson students the mysteries of geometry, and has continued to do so for 36 years. (Bottom right) Mr. Follensbee has served the Jefferson system for 32 years, bringing the wonders of science to continuing generations of students. Theme 15 Enrollment declines predicted for future at JHS Jefferson High School anticipated changes for the future. Some of the changes included classes decreasing to an average of one-hundred and fifty students, resulting in a high school enrollment of approximately six-hundred students. Reasons for these changes included smaller elementary classes and a general population decline in Wisconsin. The decline was projected to bottom out in four to five years, followed by a gradual upswing in enrollment. Teacher quantities and quality remained a national concern. Mr. Shepro commented, “I believe that all curricular areas are adequately staffed at Jefferson High School. The teacher load, both in hours and students taught, is quite favorable at Jefferson High School.” Mr. Shepro added that the greatest demand for teachers seemed to be in the fields of math and science, but that shortages might occur in virtually all teaching fields in the 1990’s. Mr. Shepro summed up his feelings about the future of education. “I believe the future for teaching and education holds much promise. Our nation is returning to a realization that education is crucial to everyone’s quality of life. As society begins to appreciate more the value of education in their lives, so will they grow in appreciation for those who educate, the teachers.” (Right) Helping to prepare students for their future.

Future Of Education 17 Group prepares centennial plan Planning and preparation were the keys to a successful centennial celebration. After many hours of work, a committee consisting of Mr. Houston (chairperson), School Board member Mr. Swanson, community members Mr. Laatsch, Mrs. Weber, Mayor Fischer, and JHS administration and faculty Mr. Olson, Mr. Flegl, Miss Marshall, Mr. Follensbee, Mrs. Koehler, and Mrs. Carpenter issued a poll to students asking for a rating on proposed ways of commemorating the event. Most popular were a mural, a logo and flag, and a centennial theme tied to special events. Plans became a reality. Mayor Fischer declared a special celebration year. A logo and flag appeared. And Homecoming saw a flurry of celebration preparations. (Right) Celebrating his senior year at JHS. Paul Garity contributes to the decorating for Homecoming. 18 Special Event Preparations • 4.

Special Event Preparations 19 Year occasions celebrate 100th Students and staff carried out a century of tradition at .IHS by striving for excellence. The magaxine campaign grossed over thirty five thousand dollars, which topped all campaigns in recent years The yearbook staff was rewarded for its excellence at the Kempa conference, when the yearbook received a first class rating in its award division for the second straight year. The senior class achieved excellence by becoming the first class ever to win the Homecoming float decorating contest four years in a tow. Members of the senior class received recognition at a specially prepared-tor graduation, when they received a medallion commemorating the hundreth graduating class. tKighl' Past Homecoming traditions in elude the burning of a wooden J. vV,s M«e page top left' Hewti SmiVnMM combats the OHM with a warm-rip drill. iVVposa page top tight' V.tadnate shoes' rHnm tor Homecoming with Ion lV hnvadet lOpposite page center' l u-.ng the H.sme coming parade, the pom pen sspiad marches to the cadence of the Sand. tVVp.Ns.te page bottom left' The senior gtris prill their mup to a scion danng the f.Nme N.Nm.-.ng pep rally as they battle the , V sN- te page bottom tight' IVr.

Juniors Dave Neupert, J.P. Morgan, and Craig Crosby sported the original “tea-shirts” with tea bags and envelopes stapled to their shirts. The juniors also won Punk and Prep Day with fifty-nine percent participation, outlasting the seniors who participated at the fifty-four percent level. Students with dyed hair and punk outfits filled the halls. Wednesday was the only day on which the juniors were defeated. The sophomores won with sixty-nine percent participation for Shades, Hats, and Bandanas Day, with the juniors coming in second with sixty-eight percent. Jon Stevens went all out and wore seventeen bandanas at one time. Go Bananas Day and Maroon and White Day also saw victory for the juniors. Stated one junior who participated in the dress-up days, “I guess we just have more school spirit than any other class.” (Top) Eve Dianich and Margaret Mercado get out plastic bags, gaudy jewelry, and gaudy make-up to celebrate Punk and Prep Day.

Homecoming 23 24 Homecoming Rally ups pep The Friday pep rally before the game demonstrated the agility of many of the students. The varsity football skit required participants to run for their jerseys, to line up in numerical order, to tie each other’s legs together, and to make a mad scramble to the finish line. After two tries the juniors beat the seniors. The cheerleaders led the classes for the spirit stick competition. Ms. Turner, Mrs. McKelvey, and Mr. Carpenter chose the senior class as the most spirited. A bet from the freshman candy bar sales resulted in the opportunity for freshman class adviser Mrs. Carpenter to throw a pie in the face of co-adviser Mr. Schulz. Instead of Mr. Schulz’s receiving a pie, two football players (Peter Lucas and Tim Belstner) each got a pie in the face. Commented Mrs. Carpenter, “Most students were surprised to see the football players get the pie. It was fun providing the surprise.” During Homecoming week the tug-of-war was dominated by the senior class. The senior boy, girl, and coed teams all won the pep rally pulls. Then the great efforts of the faculty beat the senior boys after two tries. (Opposite page top) Cathi Free takes a break from cheering to watch the band and flag routines.

Homecoming 25 Floats win points Many students wondered how the Homecoming floats were rated. The following information may provide answers to such questions. The floats were judged by five judges: Mr. Houston, Ms. Bova, Mr. Caldwell, Mr. Leipold, and Mr. Olson. These judges rated the floats according to five basic requirements: neatness, originality, the amount of work that the float evidenced, overall appearance, and adherence to the theme of Homecoming. Floats earned from one to ten points for each category. The senior float captured first place; the FFA and sophomore floats tied for second; the freshmen came in third, and the juniors took fourth place.

Homecoming 27 Eagles get lead on muddy field The 1983 Homecoming game was played on a very wet and muddy field. The game started in a light drizzle, but by the middle of the third quarter, the rain got heavy, leaving the fourth quarter in a total downpour. Waterford broke the scoreless battle when Chris Miller drove over from a yard out. The Wolverines went for the two point conversion, only to be stopped short when Brian Garity pulled down the opposing quarterback from behind. Tom Monogue tied the score on a run from one yard out, with the eventual winning point coming from Don Moehling’s extra point, giving Jefferson a lead they were never to lose. Monogue’s score was set up by a fifty-two yard pass play from Tom Gaugert to Tom Linse. Coaches praised linemen Jim Shuda, Roger Renz, and Peter Lucas for making the holes for Monogue, who rushed for 148 years on thirty-one carries. End Don Moehling caught the majority of Gaugert’s fourteen passes for 147 yards. Mark Rueth and Roger Renz led the defensive effort with nine tackles each. Despite the rain-drenched game, Jefferson outgained the Wolverines 263 total yards to 100 total yards.

The total number of couples’ tickets was the same number sold as in the previous year, but singles’ tickets sold increased to forty-five. Sponsored by FBLA, the dance sported a theme centering around the idea of balloons. FBLA members decorated the hall with large paper ballons, each having the names of class representatives. Appropriately enough, 1983 was the two-hundredth anniversary of hot air ballooning. Rent-a-Jock of Madison provided music that both couples and singles were able to dance to. He played several polkas in addition to standard hits. Mrs. Essock, one of the FBLA advisers, commented, “This Homecoming dance was one of the best Homecoming dances we’ve had since I have been here, because everyone worked together to make the Homecoming dance a success.” (Top) “Getting down, Vickie Pelikan and Ron Wegner enjoy one of the fast selections.

Homecoming 31 Moliere’s plays given as drama The 1983-84 Drama Club provided an evening of entertainment by producing two one-act plays written by the seventeenth century writer Moliere. The first play The Flying Doctor depicted a young couple, Lucile and Valere (Debbie Lehman and Gary Jilek), who were in love and wanted to get married, but Lucile’s uncle had arranged for her to marry a rich man. The couple and their friends come up with a plan to get Lucile out of the house so they can elope. The plan involves a valet, played by John Streich, playing a doctor. After many close calls, the play has a happy ending. The second play Sganarelle, or The Imaginary Cuckhold, was a more trying play for the club. The play was written entirely in verse. The various characters are involved in numerous misunderstandings. After many arguments and a near murder, everything is straightened out. Commented director Mrs. Koehler, “It is particularly difficult to find meaningful one-act plays which have an interesting plot, and at the same time have educational value. I chose the Moliere plays because I felt they met all of these criteria, and because I knew they would be challenging. They are good plays to teach students about farce, slapstick comedy, melodrama, the use of verse in the writing of drama, and about the works of Moliere as a whole.” 32 One-Act Plays (Opposite page top) John Streich seeks revenge on his wife’s “boyfriend” in the play Sganarelle.

One-Act Plays 33 Dolly entrances spring audience The Broadway hit Hello Dolly was chosen as JHS’s spring theater performance. The musical ran for three nights under the direction of Mrs. Koehler. Hello Dolly depicts a matchmaker named Dolly Levi, who arranged a marriage for Horace Van-dergelder, played by Andy Lukas. Horace is unaware that Dolly plans to marry him herself. Through several high jinks and a few tricky situations, Dolly gets her wish, and, in doing so, makes everyone else happy. One playgoer commented, “The parts played by Jeff Funk and Ron Endl were truly memorable.” (Top) Dolly Levi (Cathi Free) makes her (Above) In front of the feed store, the “in-grand entrance as she returns to the Har- stant glee club sings “It Takes a Woman.” monia Gardens.

The decorations committee, headed by Mary Jayne Landowski and John Brunner, directed the creation of large murals, hanging streamers, and large sculptures. Mr. Lia and Miss Turner advised the celebration preparations. Creo provided music for the 75-100 couples attending the event. Meadow Springs hosted Post Prom, which featured the music of the Tag-a-Longs. (Left) Randy Dettmers and Lynn Wagner preside over Prom as reigning King and Queen.

Junior Prom 37 Groups change throughout era Organizations at JHS have changed greatly over the past century. In the early years, there were only a few organizations: the Scribblers’ Club, the Tap Dancers’ Club, Drama Club, Glee Club, and a junior and senior band. The bands and publications have become separated and specialized. Organizations have expanded to offer career-minded students a chance to prepare. Throughout the century, organizations have changed to meet student needs. The 1909 graduating class (top) and an 1884 classroom (bottom) prove that life at •JHS has changed a great deal.

ORGANIZATIONS 38 Organizations Division Page Organizations Division Page 39 Students attend camp at ’Point On July 24th through the 29th three Student Council members attended a camp at Stevens Point. Tom Monogue, Kris Siedenburg, and Kris Barnes went to learn new ideas to bring back to Student Council. These three attended seminars designed to help them know themselves and each other better. Seminars stressed teamwork, instead of individual work. Participants learned how to get people motivated, how to hold meetings, and how to make money. Participation by these three was paid for through the fundraising activities of the Student Council. Kris Barnes stated, “It was really worth going to the camp. I learned a lot, and I really had a good time.” (Right) “Bear with me. It’s almost Christmas,” growled the bear, who expressed how Mr. Carpenter’s homeroom felt about the holiday season.

Student Council 41 Blocks journey to revisit Marli There can be many advantages to being an AFS host family. Apart from learning about a different culture and making many new friends, there is also the opportunity to visit that student in his or her own country. That is just what Lori Block and her family did during the end of December until the beginning of January. The Blocks spent almost one month visiting with their former student Marli Piacentini and her family in Brazil. Marli, now twenty, stayed with the Blocks during Lori’s freshman year and attended JHS as a high school senior. Lori noticed many differences between Brazil and here, one being the language. The only language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese, not Spanish, although the two are very similar. According to Lori, the hardest part was having to translate into English everything that was said to her, thinking of a response at the same time. Another big adjustment was the weather. “I thought it was really great to be sitting in shorts, watching the news, and hearing about the terrible cold and blizzards that North America was experiencing.” According to Lori, the best part of the trip was being able to see Marli again, and at last being able to meet her family, about whom she had heard so much. Lori added that the only bad thing about the trip was having to say goodbye. (Top) Lori Block uses the yearbook to remind Marli Piacentini of her days at Jefferson High School. AFS.

AFS 43 CRS welcomes Jefferson band In September members of the JHS Marching Band traveled to Camp Randall Stadium for the annual High School Band Day. Five thousand band students from schools all over Wisconsin attended the game. During the halftime, the mass band performed their four selections: “Maleguana,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “Honor of the Gladiators,” and “Shake, Rattle and Roll,” under the direction of Mr. Mike Leckrone. Commented one band member, “I really enjoyed the day. It was rewarding to play with so many other band members.” (Top and center) The Pep Band and the Marching Band both contribute to school games through their performances. (Bottom) POM PONS. K.

In September, the band played for Band Day at the Wisconsin-Northern Illinois game. After marching season was over, the students practiced for their Christmas and spring concerts. The Christmas concert for the student body ended up being omitted because of a severe weather vacation day. At the annual Concerts of Bands, the Symphonic Band played a song called “Statement,” which was a musical description of a riot. Special effects were used to enhance the performance. The administration commented that they felt that this was one of the best band concerts ever to be given. Finally, Dave Allen of the Jefferson County Daily Union named the Eagles’ Pep Band the best in the area for the basketball season.

Band 47 Concerts equal weeks of effort Many people have wondered what goes into choosing songs for choir. According to Mr. Jewett, there are four areas that are considered. First is the ability of the group, second the time of the school year, third, the type of concert being given, and last, the need to provide a variety of music for the listener. To prepare for a concert, the choir sings through the selections, disregarding any mistakes, to get an overall feeling of the song. After this, the choir begins the intensive rehearsals. Mr. Jewett pointed out that it takes from five to nine weeks to prepare for a given concert. (Top) Concert Choir members Amy Zentz and Jody Rupprecht run through the alto part of “Finale for a Festival” for the fall concert. SWING CHOIR. (Above) Front row: K. Ebel, A. Reich, D. Seisser, R.

Choir 49 FHA is sponsor in seminar day On September 19,1983, the high school conducted a number of seminars that were organized by Mrs. Behrens, high school home economics teacheT.'In the morning Dr. Ray Short from Platteville gave a four hour presentation entitled “Is it Love or Infatuation?” Dr. Short also answered questions from the audience. The afternoon seminars consisted of a variety of topics. Some of the topics were abortion, adoption, child abuse, peer pressure, alcoholism, parent child communications, drug abuse, suicide, and teen parents. Students made the choice of which three seminars they wished to attend. According to Mrs. Behrens, the three most attended seminars were those on alcoholism, drug abuse, and suicide. About the day Mrs. Behrens commented, “There were a lot of hours of work put into it.” Some of the preparations included choosing a committee, surveying the student body for specific topics, contacting speakers, and assigning students to the sessions they wished to attend. According to Mrs. Behrens, 92% of the student body said that they would like to have the seminars again. Dr. Hay Short (top) prepares to answer a student’s question after his presentation. FHA.

These students have one thing in common: that they all have their father for a boss. How do they like working with their father? Bill Kramer stated, “He takes a lot of suggestions from me, and I like that.” Jeff Windl liked having his dad for a boss, because he thought it was easier than having an outsider for a boss. According to these students, one advantage of working at home was that these participants worked with people that they really knew. Sherry commented that she would rather work elsewhere, but Bill and Jeff both said that they would stay just where they were.

Cathi commented that the most difficult thing about drama was learning to become a character, shutting out the audience. Musicals were a special favorite of Cathi’s, Annie Get Your Gun being the highlight because of its “large and hardworking” cast, according to Cathi. She also enjoyed Arsenic and Old Lace because of the funny story line and the enjoyable part. Cathi summed up her feelings about drama by observing that through her theater experience, she learned self-discipline and the joy of meeting challenges. Mrs. Koehler, Cathi’s drama coach, said about Cathi: “It has been an extreme pleasure working with Cathi the past four years, watching her mature and progress theatrically. Her delightful personality, her willingness to work hard, and her dedication to theater have truly been an asset to our drama program. She will be sincerely missed.” (Top) Jeff Funk and Jeff Gleiter replace the bulb in a projector before taking it to a teacher's room for classroom use. (Below) AV CLUB. Front row: S. Schi-ferl, L.

A poster sale also earned money for these projects. The Investment Club earned money in several ways. The sale of candy bars and the dividends from stock market investments were used to provide student scholarships. The club raised $850.00 in the previous two years.

Their four years marked drastic changes in layout and copy handling, resulting in the acquisition of numerous awards, including “first class” notices at the Kempa fall conferences. This year’s changes included the addition of sixteen pages to the yearbook, which commemorated the high school’s one hun-dreth graduating class. Mrs. Carpenter, yearbook adviser, commented about the trio, “I will miss them a great deal. They had the loyalty to stick with the yearbook during its growing pains, and the contributions they made were more than just the pages of the yearbook.” Students from the publications class (top) return from the Kempa conference in Whitewater.

The gridiron rivalry started in 1920, with Fort since then holding a substantial margin in victories with 36 wins to Jefferson’s 19, with 7 ties among the 62 games played. Only once has Jefferson won three games in a row, that occurring in 1923-1924. Rivalries come and go, but historically Jefferson’s battle with Fort has been strong.

She decided to take the job because she wanted to see the activity continue, and she felt that it would be a challenge to begin working with high school students. Mrs. Hoffmann was a cheerleader in high school and college, taught physical education, and had coached some sports. Mrs. Hoffmann commented, “I really do enjoy working with all of the cheerleading squads. The girls seem interested in their sport and usually are willing to practice very hard to develop new cheers, mounts, and routines.” (Left) VARSITY BASKETBALL. Front row: M. Riess, D. Au, C. Free.

We can, though, remember those stories our teachers, friends, uncles, and maybe even our own fathers have repeatedly told us about those three years that Mr. Ralph Frank coached at Jefferson. After coaching at Jefferson, Mr. Frank went to coach in Montana for several years. Early last fall Coach Frank returned to Jefferson as an assistant coach, but was forced to quit because of poor health. On October 9, 1983 at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital, Mr. Frank passed away.

For the previous several years, Miss Maas helped with the girls’ cross-country team. Miss Maas commented that she missed working with the cross-country team, but that she enjoyed working with the volleyball team members also. Miss Maas competed in intermural volleyball games during her high school years. One of the reasons she took the coaching position was that she liked the sport. Miss Maas hoped to get the team participating in local volleyball camps and to initiate a summer conditioning program for team members. The varsity squad finished with a 3-12 record. Stacey Barnes earned MVP. The JV posted a 8-5 record, with the freshman squad boasting a 6-3 overall season. (Top) Veteran Kris Siedenburg concentrates on her serve during a tough Whitewater game.

She completed stretching exercises and some light running. After that, she went home and ate spaghetti or pizza for carbohydrates that she used in the race. She then packed her equipment and made sure that she got plenty of sleep. Such efforts also paid off for the cross-country team. The girls’ team finished with a 6-1 record. Jenny Funk was elected MVP, making All-Conference and, with Sallie Stetzer and Chris Kramer, All SLC West. The boys’ team finished with an identical 6-1 record. Bob Proven-zano took MVP and made All Conference and, with Dan Mess-mann, gained All SLC West. Captains for the girls’ team were Tracy Hillebrand, Chris Kramer, and Sallie Stetzer.

Tom also attributed his sports abilities to his father, who always had time for him. The 1983-84 Randy Quandt Award, the 1983 MVP title for football, and his election to all-conference in football meant the most to him, according to Tom.

One of these people was Carl Hager. Carl J. Hager (right) was a faculty member starting in 1919, having graduated from JHS and Stout Institute. He joined the faculty after serving in WW I, leaving the faculty only to serve in WW II. Mr. Hager was an industrial arts teacher and a coach of both basketball and football. He was later named the principal, when the high school was located in what is now the junior high school. He was also the assistant superintendent in charge of the building and grounds. Mr. Hager passed away in 1978. (Opposite page top left) Mr. Follensbee sports a tie and tee-shirt to celebrate Homecoming spirit week.

Over the past few years, more women have been hired by school boards to fill these posts. Ms. Bova commented, “One of the reasons why women have not been getting these jobs is that women were hesitant about leaving their friends and already-settled homes.” Besides the responsibility of discipline, Ms. Bova also assisted in teacher evaluations, student activities, grading, and numerous other tasks. Ms. Bova summed up: “My position gave me an opportunity to get involved in activities and to professionally grow. Since then, I’ve found Jefferson to be a home.” Ms. Bova (right) breaks for lunch after a very busy morning.

These five sat in on and listened to the bands and choirs and oversaw art students working on their projects. They also surveyed students, alumni, and Jefferson citizens. The purpose of this evaluation was to allow development of new goals for the programs, as well as to improve or alter existing ones. The survey was also helpful in determining the strengths and weaknesses of the programs. Evaluations of the studied subject areas were received about a month after the survey was completed.

Mr. Francis came from the Or-fordville-Parkview school district, where he taught math and biology. When asked why he chose the job here at Jefferson, he replied, “The declining enrollment would have eliminated my position there, and I also wanted a job where I would teach math alone.” Mr. Francis observed that Jefferson was a slightly larger school, and that the student body was better than at his previous school. Commented Mr. Francis, “The staff and students all seem helpful and cooperative.” (Top) Mr. Francis goes over his assertive discipline plan with his advanced math class before beginning a lesson.

Mr. Kroll also enjoys coin collecting, stamp collecting, fishing, and publishing books. Mrs. Kroll’s hobbies include reading, yarn making, using natural dyes, weaving, collecting unusual pins, and occasionally writing articles for handicraft and textile magazines. Many collections were begun with a single item, perhaps a gift from a friend. Once started, they grew and grew, drawing the Krolls to conventions, antique shows, and auctions. The Krolls agree that their hobbies allow them to relax and expand their knowledge. Miss Wilson (top) discusses Bill Schweiger’s grade with him during gym class.

With the centennial celebration, it is appropriate to list some of the gifts that past graduates have given to the school. These include the following: the tree with a plaque, an environmental sculpture, a painting of the school, a movie projector, the picnic table, the globe in the library, the eagle in the floor of the main hall, the flag in the main gym, the case in the main hall, and the painting by the entrance steps.

Rumor has it that initiation can happen anywhere, for instance at the county fair, where freshmen dream of shaving cream on the midway. It’s also been said that freshmen have bodily measured the inside of lockers, the depths of puddles, and the interior of trash cans. There is one thing that overly-fearful freshmen know is true: that most will have to face Mr. Schulz in his famed history class. A picture is worth a thousand words.

The video game craze began a few years ago with the introduction of Space Invaders, paving the way for other games. Home computers have expanded the use of video games. Some of the manufacturers of these game systems were Atari, Coleco, Commodore, and Texas Instruments. Most of the manufacturers made their own cartridges for the computers, but units like the Atari 2600 accepted other cartridges. Most state of the art video game systems sold for one-hundred and fifty dollars to well over three-hundred dollars. The home video game was a compact version of the bigger game. One difference was that a participant could change a cartridge and play a different game in the home version without paying for the playing time. This way a player had unlimited playing time without the constant money payment. Asked why he played video games, one student commented “It is just something to do.” Another student added, “It is just a way to blow off steam and to get away from society.” Sherri Habeck Mary Jo Hachtel Robert Hachtel Tricia Hachtel Troy Hake Mark Hamann Craig Hanson Melissa Hartman Gregg Heideman Chris Heine Don Heine Richard Heine Tim Herdendorf Mary Jo Hertel Brenda Hetzel Laura Hinkel Freshmen 107 I’ve been there Most of us spent last summer like every summer: sleeping late, watching soaps or a game show, and waiting for parents to come home. On the other hand, Dana Emery went to visit her uncle in Naples, Italy. Dana’s grandfather took her and two of her cousins to visit their uncle and his Italian wife. Dana and her relatives spent six weeks touring nine countries: Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. Dana said that she had a hard time with time and language differences. Some of the countries Dana visited are mentioned quite often in class, and Dana can then repeat to herself, “I’ve been there.” WEtL Drown THE wol vemm Kaye Hoffmann Chris Horner Yvonne Hunt Sean Jacobson Jeff Johnson Karen Johnston Robert Jones Justine Kellner Lisa Kerr Teresa Kexel Andy Kiesling Shelli Knuth Amy Koch Julie Koeppel Matthew Kramer Tom Krause Wendy Lange Nicole LaRock Randy Lass 108 Freshmen Chris Latterell Jodi LaVasser Val Leal Mary Lou Leija Eve Liebel Steve Lipperer Jeff Mayhew Connie McHugh Steve McKenna Terry Meidl Dennis Messmann Lee Miller Mark Miller Michelle Miller Melissa Monogue Kim Munro Michael Nehmer Laurie Niemann Michelle Oremusz Peter Ott Terri Palm Jim Petersen Bob Pinnow (Top) After many hours of hard work at A1 Walechka’s house, freshmen complete their float well ahead of the Thursday deadline.

Well, Mary Wanke had a hard time remembering those days, because Mary never missed a day of grade school or high school. Mary remembered the times that she wished she had stayed home. For instance, once in the fifth grade, Mary had a fever of 104 and was sick to her stomach. The day wasn’t very pleasant, but Mary went to school anyway. Mary commented, “I could not have done it without my chocolate milk.” David Pitzner Anthony Powers Tammy Probst Lisa Reinke Annette Rice Becky Rueth Scott Rupprecht Joseph Saelens Ed Schildbach Janet Schmidt Jesse Schneeberg Craig Schoeller Heidi Schultz Ann Marie Schwartz Dale Sedlar Amy Seisser 110 Freshmen Jeff Seisser Heidi Sindermann Kenneth Slight Audrey Smith Michael Soleska Mark Stacey Danny Staude Susan Strom Chris Stuelke Sara Sukow Robert Szwec Brenda Tadych Shawn Thomsen Jam's Veium Donna Vogel Paul Wagner Al Walechka Mary Wanke Laura Weber Debra Werner Amy Wiedenhoeft (Opposite page top) Greg Dahnert and Paula Stuelke help Anne Dellamater study German in Mrs. Carpenter’s homeroom.

She has a natural talent, great desire, and works very hard,” stated swimming coach Mr. Pennewell. He added, “She loves swimming and has infectious spirit. She has good form in all strokes. As for her upcoming two years she has great potential.” Pennewell reflected, “She needs to get involved in swimming during the spring and summer. If she really trains hard, she may qualify for state competition in the big school division.” (Opposite page top) Jim Hagen practices “Blues for an Elm in Jazz Ensemble.

Being an intelligent person has helped her catch on to new concepts,” praised Coach Rogers. Coach Rogers stated, “Michelle has a bright future.

These students now race their bicycles at local BMX tracks in four classifications: beginner, novice, expert, and professional. After a racer has gained enough experience in one classification, he may then move to the next. Scott Schroedl, a sophomore at JHS, is one of an estimated 150,000 BMX racers in the USA. Scott became interested in racing after he saw video tapes of national races. Scott raced along with other novice racers at local tracks in Janesville, Milton, and Sun Prairie. Although the majority of the races are held in the summer, there are indoor tracks, which are used during the winter. Scott didn’t race during the winter, instead working on freestyle skills in his basement. Commenting on the sport and his involvement, Scott said, “Although BMX bike racing is still in its infancy, I feel it will become an extremely popular sport some day. It is a continually growing sport, and one in which I am really interested.” Kathleen Russell Jayne Sager Carrie Sargent Laura Schave Matt Schiferl Steve Schiferl Jerry Schmidt Michael Schmidt Tim Schmidt Lisa Schmitz Stephanie Schopen Scott Schroedl Lisa Schuld Paul Schultz Chad Schumacher Mark Schweitzer John Sears Lisa Seitz Darrell Shafer 118 Sophomores (Opposite page top) Scott Schroedl executes a “kick-out’ during a Sunday afternoon race at the Janesville BMX track.

Mark added that his interest in going abroad was heightened in world history class with Mr. Kroll. Mark learned many things while in Argentina, most meaningful being language and culture differences, especially the different attitude towards time. Mark summed up his trip by saying, “They eat different types of food for each meal, and the hardest thing to adjust to while visiting is the language barrier.” Kim Allegretti Dan Altreuter Robert Anderson Charles Andrews Dan Aranda Todd Ashburn Steve Aumann Deborah Banker Kris Barnes Stacy Barnes Tracy Billig Mike Bingham Lonnie Bischoff Lori Block William Boettcher Vicky Boos 120 Juniors (Opposite page top) Dave Neupert scales the net after a tennis victory in gym.

Having won art scholarships for two summers in a row, Mary Jayne commented, “Jefferson’s art program is probably one of the best around from what I’ve learned here and from what I’ve heard from other people’s experiences.” Mary Jayne’s plans included college or on-the-job training in business, with art as perhaps more than a hobby. To art students she advised, “Take all the classes you can, read all the books on it you can, and never think you’re limited as to what you try to do.” Jeff Hillebrand Susan Hoffman Tammy Horner Scott Hughes Butch Hutchins Lauri Jahnke Shelly Janecek Lisa Jones Jill Jorstad Lynn King Jill Kingston Charles Klein (Top) Having won honors at an art fair in Oconomowoc, Mary Jany Landowski gathers with some of her fellow participants.

Jukka, the oldest of two children, lived with the Louis Lukas family and, like the other two AFS students, was a senior at the high school. Jukka spoke five languages: Finnish, his native language, Swedish, Russian, English and German. In his spare time he liked to play soccer. Commented Jukka, “I became interested in AFS about two years ago. I guess I decided to come here because of what I have heard and read about the United States.” Although he was undecided about a career, Jukka hoped to find one in which he could apply his knowledge of languages.

Since Mr. Brandel had all of the seniors in his sociology class during the year, he took a special interest in the class. Before graduation, the senior adviser was in charge of the procedures surrounding the graduation ceremony, including finding a speaker, as well as planning some of the special events surrounding the occasion. The senior adviser also made sure that all of the seniors had ordered announcements and were measured for caps and gowns. In addition to these duties, Mr. Brandel also arranged for the senior banquet and senior assemblies held at the end of the year. Mr. Brandel commented that he received a lot of help from Mr. Leipold, Mr. Olson, Mr. Houston, and Ms. Bova with rehearsals for the various ceremonies which he helped to arrange. When he was asked how he felt about being senior adviser, Mr. Brandel replied, “I enjoyed it, although it took a lot of time at the end of the year.” Belli Kniessand Margaret Mercado (right) carefully huff their jewelry before putting it up for display.

For instance, how would you feel about making extra money in a band? In December 1982, Lazor, a local rock band, was formed. Members were Jeff Funk, who played bass guitar, Scott Shafer, lead guitar, Joe Provenzano, rhythm guitar, Mike McKenna, vocals, and Scott Schroedl, drums. Available for dances, the band played heavy metal and FM radio music. Most of the members of the current band also belonged to another band in seventh grade.

Diana had to become used to a different school schedule. In Costa Rica, a student takes twelve subjects, and the year is divided into three two-month periods. After a two-month period, students have two weeks to take exams. Upon returning to Costa Rica, Diana planned to continue her education and to pursue a career in public relations.

Amy started swimming at the age of five, competing the summer before her freshman year. Amy’s favorite strokes and events were the 500 freestyle, the 100 and 50 breast strokes, and the 200 medley relay. She set school records in the 500 freestyle (6:35), and 100 breast stroke (1:19.1), and she was a part of the 200 medley relay. Other swimming achievements were Most Improved Swimmer her sophomore year, and being captain her junior and senior year. (Top) Preparing for a chemistry experiment.

The legislature passed a bill to make nineteen the legal age, compromising between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one. Although teenagers numbered only eight percent of the driver population, they made up fifteen percent of the casualties in alcohol-related accidents. Ironically, while life expectancy rose for the general population, the death rate for the fif- teen to twenty-four age group also rose. Groups organized to fight drunk driving sprung up. These included MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), as well as others devoted to rid the highways of intoxicated motorists. As one student remarked, “To drink or not is one thing, while drinking and driving is something else.” (Right) Finding the chairs too comfortable.

Each student also had the opportunity to speak to club members. As a friend of youth, the Optimist Club promoted the positive achievements of future leaders.

Some of the costs rose, a result of the cen-tenniel celebration. The most popular items were senior keys, name cards, announcements, and, of course, the cap and gown itself. Seniors made a five dollar deposit as usual, but were greeted with the fact that this year they were allowed to keep the cap after the graduation ceremony. Commented one senior, “Considering that it was a special year for graduation, 1 found the costs reasonable.” (Top) •Ioann Dam row selects graduation announcements in the hall before being measured for her cap and gown.

High school preparations became essential for learning the skills necessary to be successful and to find work. Mr. Olson also stated that it was important for students to realize that school was a full time job in itself and had to take first precedence, although some students were capable of having a job and attending school successfully. Mr. Olson stressed his belief in the importance of high school education by adding, “Even though having a job is great, students must remember that school is fundamental and essential, along with school activities. Students should not let their jobs interfere with their achievements,” concluded Mr. Olson. C ' - Underclass editor Debbie Lehman (top) sort junior photos for her section.

Michelle came from a family of six, including three sisters. “Schools are more informal here,” Michelle explained, commenting that she decided to become an AFS student after hearing about the organization the previous year. Observed Michelle, “I think Jefferson is a really fantastic city, with wonderfully friendly people, and the high school is the best.” One thing that Michelle had a hard time with was the cold winter, stating that she had lost most of her ten by spring.

Sarah became interested in the competition after seeing last year’s queen and receiving information from Mr. Krieg. The major requirements were personality, looks, and a vast knowledge of pork and the pork industry. Sarah also participated in the statewide Pork Queen Contest in January and represented Jefferson County at various luncheons among pork producers. Sarah believed that the competition taught her to work with people and would help her as an animal technician. She planned to attend MATC to train in working with large animals on the farm.

This has always been the backbone of ceremonies at JHS. The wearing of caps and gowns, promoting the look of uniformity, the recognition the graduates receive, along with the general atmosphere that is apparent at Commencement, symbolizes tradition. One of the widely-recognized traditions is the granting of the Schweiger scholarships, earned by Jeff Funk and Tom Monogue. A tradition was revived by the faculty, who joined the graduates in cap and gown. Medallions worn by the graduates commemorated tradition. As the next hundred years begin, much of the tradition will follow, as well as new traditions being formed. (Top) The Reverend Doctor Fossum presents one of the Schweiger Scholarships to Tom Monogue at the graduation ceremonies.

On Saturday, February 4, members of the academic decathlon team traveled to Rufus King High School, where they competed in the Wisconsin Academic Decathlon. Those competing were Jeff Funk, Sallie Stetzer, Mike Stacey, Tony Smith, John Streich, Randy Stilling, and Andy Lukas. Mike McKenna acted as the alternate for the team. Although Rufus King won the event, Jefferson did well, collecting seven individual medals and winning the Super Quiz. Members who won medals were Jeff Funk, who won gold for math, silver for science, and bronze for essay writing and fine arts; Randy Stilling, who won silver for economics and bronze for math; and Mike Stacey, who captured a silver for essay writing.

To Mr. Leipold: who ran miles to provide the yearbook staff with the facts that it needed. To Mr. Shepro and the School Board: who researched and wrote some of the introductory materials. To the secretaries and library staff: who didn’t kick us out. To the Banner and the Daily Union: who ran errands and took special pictures. A special thanks must go to Mr. Jon Hotter.
