THE SKYHAWK, Volume II Chris Dixon, Editor RECORD OF 1979-80 SCHOOL YEAR Productd at JOHNSBURG HIGH SCHOOL 2002 West Ringwood Road McHenry, Illinois 60050 The 1979-80 Sky hawk Record The dictionary defines record as “ an account made in enduring form, especially writing, that preserves the knowledge or memory of events or facts.” The Skyhawk staff has assembled this “record” of the 1979-80 school year at Johnsburg High School in an effort to help you recall your “good old high school days” in the years to come. But no printed record can ever duplicate the sights and sounds of your friends and teachers as experienced through your own eyes and ears. The most we can hope for is to stimulate your memories, and that is the purpose of this album. 2 At Johnsburg High School . . . Some people study hard and other people hardly study.

Effort Highlights Varsity Football “I was very pleased to work with this team,” said coach Mike Heimerdinger in reflecting upon the sea- son. “The record of 1-8 is not a good measure of the effort and pride they put into this season. Even though we had many key injuries, the team never quit, which is a great compliment to the character of the players.” The Record Johnsburg 6 Winnebego 51 Johnsburg 6 Grayslake 7 Johnsburg 0 Hononegah 41 Johnsburg 0 North Boone 30 Johnsburg 6 Harvard 20 Johnsburg 42 Valley Lutheran 14 Johnsburg 24 Beloit Catholic 28 Johnsburg 18 South Beloit 24 Johnsburg 0 Marengo 21 Head coach Mike Heimerdinger in a happy mood during Johns- burg’s 42-14 Homecoming romp over Valley Lutheran. 38 AT LEFT: All-Conference star Rick Szumlas. his hand bloodied, watches momentarily from the sidelines.

The Skyhawks finished in third place in the Shark Conference with a 7-5 record. They had an overall record of 14-12. 54 3 Stars They were all stars, in their own way, the 1980 Skyhawks. But three athletes were by far the most versatile sportsmen at Johns- burg High. Rick Szumlas demonstrated his talents on the gridiron, the basketball court, and the track. He accumulated many honors as he wore the blue and gold colors of his school, and his sportsmanship was exemplary. Kurt Valentin starred in football, basket- ball, and baseball. He was heavily recruited by several colleges and universities. His ath- letic skills were accented by his determined pursuit of excellence. Chris Dixon gave outstanding perfor- mances in football, basketball, and track. He was a leader and a “team player”. The col- lege recruiters sought Dixon for his strength, speed, and agility. He always gave his best effort. All three athletes were also honor stu- dents at JHS. 55 Chris Dixon maneuvers the basketball.

Soph B-Ball According to Coach Dan Stanowski, the sophomore basketball team had a “could have, should have season.” They could have, and should have won more games. There was great individual improve- ment during the season and a lot of basketball excitement. The sophomores had three overtime games in a row at the end of the season. The squad compiled a 12-12 re- cord. Tom Pieper, the leading scor- er on the sophomore team, moves to the basket for an easy layup. 60 Russ Beck tries a jump shot from the free throw line.

Freshman B-Ball The freshmen basketball players repre- sent the future of the Skyhawk basketball program. The emphasis is on basics at the freshman level, and victories are not as important as building skills and learning the fundamentals. The freshman “A” team finished the season with 6-11 re- cord, and the freshman “B” team fin- ished with a 3-3 record. John Hendrixson takes a jump shot. Jeff Fowler moves down the baseline.

Last year’s king and queen, Scott Dixon and Lisa Jackson, did the honors of the crowning. Chateau Louise, in Dundee, was the setting for the dance, whose theme was “Knights in White Satin.” Seventy-five couples attended along with several parents and teach- ers. At midnight, the Prom attendants boarded the buses and were taken across the street to the Roxy Wheels Roller Rink, where Mrs. Joan Walker, a hypnotist, put on a show. Later the couples enjoyed a night of roller skating. King Doug Free and Queen Nancy Popovich Happy moments spent during the evening, laughing with friends.
