Homecoming Parade ’85 Starting off Homecoming weekend was the parade, which was thought to be the best in Johnsburg’s history. Parade entrees included Class floats and club floats from JHS, and even the elementary school participated. The Seniors captured first place with the winning float “The Three Little Pigs”. The Sophomore Class took second with their float entitled “Billy Goat Gruff.” Float building began Thursday and eight students per class were allowed to leave school to work on their class float. Those selected were required to have the floats constructed by 10 p.m. Dawn Williamson and Qndy Gorman try to “bribe the crowd with candy so the juniors can win the float building contest. 12 The Seniors don’t “kid around as the sophomore float shows. They win first place In the float building contest. King Mike Haag and Queen Roberta Kurcharskl get all heated up by the fire. Tom Kinney and Harry Giovanni discuss the Homecoming game to take place. The bonfire at its fullest blaze. Spirit Ablaze at Bonfire The JHS bonfire is always a highlight of the Homecoming activities. The King and Queen are announced and other awards are presented. Mainly, the bonfire represents one last boost of encouragement for the team. Humongous piles of lumber are piled up, and the blaze begins. The school spirit is unbelievable; it is probably at it’s highest at this point. The tension mounts as the announcement of the King and Queen is ready to be given. Roberta’s reaction to winning, “It was an exciting, fun, experience. It was a real honor that will last a lifetime.” A soc-hop was held after the bonfire. 13 Whooooops! There goes another JHS Cheerleader. Jody Turner, Kerry Fleming and Michele Young have fun modeling their Johnny chugs another one during lunch hour, togas. Spirit Days highlight week Of all the highlights of the Homecom- ing week, Spirit Days have to be the craziest of all. They ranged from “Hawaiian Day”, to “Opposite Sex Day,” “Nerd Day,” “Blue and Gold Day”, and the most interesting of all, “Toga Day,” which is a special privilege for seniors only. 14 Carrie Boike reveals her true identity during “Nerd Day’ Fairytales was the theme of this year’s homecoming. A fairytale it was for Mike Haag and Roberta Kucharski who have been going together for several years. They had the honor of being crowned JHS’s Homecoming King and Queen. It was a semi-formal dance, the theme was “A Night In Heaven.” The dance began at 8, it was held in the cafeteria, which was decorated with flashing lights around the steps. Stars were hanging from the ceiling and on the walls, and a fog machine gave it a ‘Heavenly Effect.” A difference in Homecoming this year, there wasn’t a band, ‘‘We had a D.J. because we wanted more danceable music,” commented Kim Abell, student council member. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of the King and Queen. Peter Switzer and Dawn Williamson, a fairytale come true. Couples “dance the night away.' 1985 HOMECOMING COURT: Michelle Anderson, Mark Dumelle, Lisa Klein, Mike Nederhouser, Julie Leopold, Tom Meehan, Debbie Tvaroh, Tom Kinney, Laueie Mellum, Jim Owen, Kelly Kegel, Ron Beck, Jill Leopold, Mark Durei, and Queen Roberta Kucharski, King Mike Haag. Fashion ranges from your head to your toes. Some take this realistically. Fashion ’85 Fashions today are more exciting than ever, ranging from Guess jeans to Forenza sweaters. You simply switch an outfit and the accessories, and you can be a conservative prep today and an outrageous punker tomorrow. For the ladies . .. cropped jeans, mini’s, pumps, and Forenzas are what’s hot; bell bottoms and velour are what’s not. For the guys class is in. A style that shows they care about their appear- ance is what today’s guy is all about. 1985 is a fasionable year. Classy, sophisticated looks are definitely in today’s world. The great thing about an expensive pair of jeans Is you get to “GUESS” whose wearing them. 16 Being In style isn’t just for ladles. Just ask Jim, M.J., Mike, and Pete. Honors Banquet On Tuesday, May 7, Johnsburg high School held its third annual High School Honors Banquet. The purpose of the evening’s activities was to honor those students who throughout the year achieved the highest degree of excellence in their class work. Honored at the banquet were students who ranked in the upper 10 percent of their respective classes based upon their cumulative grade point averages. During the dinner, John Moehling, a 1980 graduate of JHS, addressed the honor students and their parents. Moehling was the 1980 valedictorian, and he graduated from the University of Illinois. After the dinner, A nationally renowned speaker, Dr. Clint Burke, gave a presentation entitled “The Mind of Tomorrow: New Beginnings.” In Dr. Burke’s presentation, he focused on the relation between motivation, productivity, and excellence. He also touched on the emphasic that needs to be made on vision and reform. The Honors Banquet was successful in recognizing a very deserving group of young men and women. 1980 graduate John Moehling recalls how setting a goal helped him through JHS. Guest speaker, Dr. Clint Bunke, stresses how motivation is a key in reaching success. Honor students and their parents enjoyed a dinner before the ceremonies began. Assistant Principal Randy Oberembt comgratulates Kevin Beitz for his academic excellence. Honor students and their parents gathered in the auditorium after dinner for the presentation of Honors Certificates. ‘Harvey’ is big success “Harvey” is a classic comedy about an invisible white rabbit. It was performed at Johnsburg High School on Nov. 8, 9, and 10, 1984. The story is about Elwood P. Dowd and his sister, Veta Louise Simmons. Veta tries to put Elwood away at Chumley’s Rest, but she finds herself locked up instead. The play was performed with an excellent cast of 12 students under the direction of Roger Zawacki. It was one of the most successful plays ever presented at JHS, according to Zawacki.

About The Players Chap Hughes (Elwood), Lisa Kelly (Veta), and Ed Foster (Dr. Chumley) are seniors and have each given many memorable performances on our stage. Each of them have been involved in the JHS theatre program since they were freshman, and they have all won outstanding performance awards in past years. Missy Davis (Betty Chum- ley) is also a senior and will be remembered in two outstanding roles last year as Princess Winnifred and as Fanny Cavendish. Brian Dunivan (Dr. Sanderson) is a junior and was voted most promising newcomer last year. He appeared in “Once Upon a Mattress” and in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Linda Maiorca (Mrs. Chauvenet) and Kim Larson (Miss Kelly) are sophomores and made their stage debuts last year in “Arsenic and Old Lace”. Kim was also in “The Royal Family”.

This is the second time that the JHS Theatre presented this play. ‘‘The Good Doctor” theatre production in November of 1978 was the first time. The current production focuses on the characters called the narrator, the writer Anton Checkov. The other characters in the play are, in fact, thoughts in the narrator’s mind. The set was designed with all the characters in the back representing his mind. The lights come up; the only character on stage is the narrator (Ed Foster). He sits at his desk writing. The skit is ‘‘The Writer”, followed by the action scene the ‘‘Sneeze”. Scene 3 is ‘‘Governess”; the 4th scene is the ‘‘Surgery”, the 5th scene is ‘‘Too Late for Happiness”, and the last scene of Act I is the ‘‘Seduction”. In Act II, scene 1 starts with ‘‘The Drowned Man”. It is followed by scene 2, “The Audition”. Then there is scene 3, “A Defenseless Creature”; scene 4, the “Arrangement”; and scene 5, “The Writer”. Harry Walk (sailor) has a look of determination on his face. Tom Maiorca (Sexton) tries to get away from Brian Dunivan (Doctor) 22 The cast of the “Good doctor” includes both new-comers and veteran actors. All seven seniors in the play have been in the theatre program for three or four years. These seniors are Ed Foster, Chap Hughes, Missy Davis, Lisa Matulka, Mary Dvorak, Dave Hanamoto, and Harry Walk. Veteran junior actors included Brian Dunivan and Arlet Mann. Linda Maiorca is a sophomore, and also a veteran of several productions. Students making their stage debut included juniors Tom Maiorca and Tom Buccelli; sophomores Laura Lund, Michelle Scavo, and Chad Bear; and also freshman Sue Wester.

The story of “Pajama Game” concerns the employees of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory. A new superintendent has been hired and immediately clashes with the head of the grievance committee. The employees are in an uproar because they have been demanding a TVi cent raise and have repeatedly been put off by the management. The president of the union calls for a factory slow down which causes friction between the superintendent and the head of the grievance committee.

Social Studies There are a variety of social studies classes taught at JHS. They are U.S. History U.S. Government, Econ- omics, Psychology, Freshman Social Studies, Sophomore Studies, and American Issues. Highlights in the social studies included the field trip to the Chicago Board of Trade and the Federal Reserve Bank for Economics. In American Issues, Ms. Simons took students on a field trip to a funeral home in McHenry for their unit on death. Also, her freshman social studies class had its first field trip in seven years for that course. That class also put on a mock election this year. In Mr. Hiller’s Sophomore Studies class, they have a large scavenger hunt and also have many field trips. Mr. Roberts' economics class takes time out to read about the stock market. Ms. Simons teaches her freshmen something about world history. Mr. Roberts is hard at work figuring out class grades. English The English Department at JHS has a lot of hard work and a lot of special activities. Freshman English students learn the basics in grammar, literature, speech and research papers. Writing Lab was a new class this year and it turned out to be a great class to help students with their writing abilities. Reading Lab is a class that helps the students with their reading abilities. College Composition is a preparation course for college. During the year students get thorough exposure to research papers. As for the special activities, the Sophomore Studies group attended the production, “Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat” and they also visited the board of trade. World Humanities, British Literature and the Theater Department attended the production “Candide” at the Goodman Theater. The English students not only like their classes because of the variety of things they do but because they feel the teachers are great. Jonnle Schwabauer and Laura Davidson are looking for information on an interesting topic for a term paper. College Composition students take notes in class on how to do a term paper I Mrs. Olsen lectures to her class on last night’s reading homework. Bill Comstock dreams of being “Tex” as he reads his book for reading lab. 37 Science The size of the Science Depart- ment at Johnsburg has doubled since the opening of the school. Along with the increase in student enrollment in science, the ACT scores on the science section of the test on an average have also risen greatly. Due to the increase in size of the Science Department to continue the success, another science teacher will join the staff next year. Many things are taught in the course of one year in the science classes. The students learn how to mix chemicals, solve formulas, workout and prove theories, and many other things. A procedure taught at the beginning of the year is used to solve problems and test theories. Students use lab procedure and conduct experiments throughout the year. Some of these experiments are exciting and full of action. The action in experiments helps to keep the students’ interest in class and in learning. The student enrollment will ensure the success of the Science Department. Junior Michele Michaelis performs some precision measuring in Chemistry. Teacher Bob Texidor lectures his class. Instructor Pat McCrysta! assists his students in a lab experiment. 38 Math Department offers new course Seniori Bernard Wharton and Tim Koller kid around with teacher Roger Zawacki. The Math Department at Johns- burg High School offered a new course this year. The course, called Inter- mediate Math, was developed for those college bound students who have completed a geometry course and want to prepare for Algebra II or further their education in mathematics. The course is taught by Mr. Zawacki and is a good course for those who enjoy math. The Math Department has been busy developing a new algebra class. This course will cover the same material that the algebra course now covers; however, the new course will cover the material at a slower pace. The new Basic Algebra course will be a two-year course and is a fine choice for those students wishing to learn about algebra but need to work slowly to develop their skills. Senior Cris May puzzles over a problem in Calculus. Instructor Todd Lewison returns a paper to one of his students. 39 Business In typing I classes, students learn the basics in typing, such as the letter and number keyboards. Then they learn how to type business letters and manuscripts and simple tables. There is one class of typing II students who are all girls. In there, they learn what it would be like to be a real secretary. During the second semester, they get a work simulation called “Odyssey.” It puts them in a secretary’s place. Every day they have a certain amount of work to do, just like a real secretary. In office practice, students develop skills on the 10-key electronic calculator, IBM transcribing machine, and the Apple He, as a word processor. They also improve skills in compassing and typing business letters and filing. Guest speakers are invited to give the students first-hand knowledge of the work world. Accounting students learn basic accounting concepts and how to use various forms and journals for their future life. Kim Guancl works hard on the new Canon typewriter. Executive secretary. Marge Brown, gives the typing II Laura Davidson lends her knowledge to Carol Corblel which only confuses her more, students first hand knowledge in the business world. Foreign Language Our Spanish and French classes had an interesting year. Some of the Spanish classes had a Mexican style Christmas celebration after learning about Christmas customs in Mexico. The Spanish 11 students had a taco party after complet- ing a foods unit. The upper level Spanish classes got a chance to see “culture in action” by taking a field trip to Chicago to see a Latin American singing and folk dancing group and afterwards, went out for a Mexican meal. As for the French at JHS, Laura Long spent two weekends speaking only French at an immension weekend sponsored by George Williams College. The French II students imagined them- selves taking a trip to France by learning about traffic regulations, necessary preparations, and shopping information. They designed this for themselves, complete with daily itinerary, mileage estimates, and budgeting. Both French and Spanish classes found the year to be exciting and informative. Adios and Bonjourl! Seniorlta Bethla fights for her pet pinata, while Tom and Larry try to rip it in half for the goodies. Students get puzrled over Spanish scrabble. The Seniorita helps troubled students get through Spanish IV. Home Economics One of the major emphasis of the entire Home Economics Department is to prepare the student for life after high school. Students can choose from a variety of solid courses in the following sub areas: foods and related fields, clothing and related fields, housing and related fields, child care, adult living, parenting and cosmetology. Overall enrollment in this department is increasing over the years. One reason for this increase is the addition of several new courses. These new classes include a second foods class, a sewing class, and a unique combination of home economics and auto mechanics called Survival Skills. This course would prepare students, both male and female, for adult life after high school. Child Care Two students have again held their nursery school this year. The 39 Child Care students ran an actual pre-school for 12 local children. The students get hands-on experience teaching and dealing with the children. The pre-schoolers love the class, as does the Child Care supervisor, Home Economics head Rita Gugel. Mrs. Gugel commented on the class, saying that “The students run the entire class. I just sit back and supervise.” A pre-schooler receives a loving hug from the Easter Bunny in Child Care Two. Supervisor Vivian Diserio Inspects a turkey In Foods. Principal Rob Gough enjoys his lunch prepared by the Foods class. Foods students oversee the cooking of a pot of gravy. 42 Physical Education The Physical Education Depart- ment at JHS offers a wide variety of sports and activities to the students each year. Being the only class required for four years, the P.E. classes must offer this variety to keep the class interesting. According to Jim Meyers, athletic director, the classes offer progression and variety to the students. Sports that are more recreational, such as tennis and golf, are participated in since they are often played later in life. Also, more unusual sports, such as archery and flickerball, are taught to give more variety. Some of the units given in P.E. are soccer, flag-football, basketball, field hockey, wrestling, volleyball, archery, and several others. The seasons of the year usually determine the sport played. In fall and spring, outdoor units are taught and, of course, the classes stay indoors during the cold winter months. Senior Lisa Kelly defends Junior Missy Capps on the court. Students take aim in archery. Sophomore Jeff Huemann knocks one away in softball. Sophomore Frank Husak spikes the ball past Jeff Huemann in volleyball. 43 HONORS BAND - First Row: Edward Foster, Ralph Stark, Laureen Charles, Director Hal Thompson; Second Row: Raymond Tantillo, Mike Nederhouser, Randy Sundell. Fine Arts offer creative opportunity Drama, choir, and band are among JHS offerings in fine arts. In these courses, people work exceptionally hard at what they do. Many long hours have been spent perfecting skills. All of this may not sound like much fun, but it all pays off in the end. For example, choir this year hosted the Music Festival. It went over very well, and all schools from the Northwest Suburban conference attended including Johnsburg, Grant, Grayslake, Marian, Marengo, Round Lake, Wauconda and Lake Zurich. Johnsburg band students participated in solo competition, they performed very well and received twelve firsts and seven seconds. The Honor Band also entered in solo competition, and they received twenty firsts and ten seconds. It has been as outstanding year for all band members. Drama club puts out three spectacular plays each year. This year the plays were “Harvey”, “The Good Doctor” and “The Pajama Game”. All of the plays went over very well, and student performers showed some outstanding talent. Fine Arts members have showed a lot of enthusiasm during the year. Ed Foster and Kim Larson perform during “Harvey” Right: Ray Tantillo concentrates on his music. Far Right: Even a little bear is amazed at how beautiful the music is. 44 Vocational Education The vocational education program at JHS has many unique dimensions. Included in this department are heavy equipment, building trades, graphics, drafting, power mechanics, woods, metals, and various others. In these classes, students get hands-on experience which will help them when entering the job market after high school. These classes also build a firm base of knowledge for those who choose to go on to a trade or technical school after graduating. In the past year, the heavy equipment and building trades students have completed several community projects. These include playgrounds, shelters around dumpsters and re-surfacing basketball courts. One of their major projects was the excavation of the two ponds outside of JHS to prevent flooding of the parking lots. The graphics students have also done their share of out-of-class projects. They have designed layouts for district newsletters and printed T-shirts and posters for the FCA. According to Chuck Schultz, a vocational education instructor, the programs at JHS are much more structured and involve more student advisory councils than other schools in the state. There is a problem, however, in this department concerning enrollment and how it is declining year-by-year. This is mainly due to increased math requirements for graduation and more students leaving school at 1:25 under the early-dismissal plan, according to Schultz. A major goal of the students is to prepare for and do well in VICA competition. VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) is a national organization that promotes friendly competition among high school students. Bob Heber digs deep into Johnsburg soil. 46 Vocational Education students show teamwork while working on excavation project. Jim Korovolich demonstrates basic carpentry skills in woodworking.

During the year the Quill and Scroll Club sponsors a variety of activities. This year the club offered a $400 scholarship to send a student to a media workshop in Washington, D.C. Sophomore Joe Nowak won the scholarship and spent several days in Washington, meeting with some of the nation’s top newsmen and media people. The president of Quill and Scroll is Jeff Nichols. Joe Nowak, winner of the Quill Scroll scholarship, talks with David Gergen, former White House director of communications, in Washington, D.C. Newspaper The year for newspaper class began with excitement as word was received that the Johnsburg Weekly News won high honors in three national contests. The paper was named “All-American” by the National Scholastic Press Association, it won the “George Gallup Award” from Quill and Scroll; and it received the “Silver Crown Award” from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Very few high schools in the United States put out a weekly newspaper, said adviser Randy Swikle. “We at Johnsburg are fortunate to have some dedicated students who work hard enough to put out a quality newspaper.” “At the beginning of the year the staff was lacking in experience, but I feel it did a fine job throughout the year.” said Ray Tantillo, editor-in-chief of the newspaper.

They took hundreds of pictures during the year to try to capture some of the year’s highlights on film. This is the first yearbook with a fall delivery date, and that meant a lot of changes from the way things were done in the past.

JHS Band Wins Again Our Johnsburg High School Band is really something to be proud of. Many people don’t realize the exciting things our band works long hard hours for during the year. Besides performing at all the school’s home football games and of course our own Homecoming parade, band students also work hard to prepare for the Christmas concert held in December and the Spring concert held in April. The band has won many honors. In January, seven band members • Lauren Charles, Ray Tantillo, Ed Foster, Ralf Stark, Mike Nederhouser, Chap Hughes and Mike Dominguez - were selected to perform in the McHenry County Honors Band. In March, some students chose to perform in the Solo contest, and 60 percent of them received first place ratings while the rest followed with second place ratings. In April the big contest was held. Our band was one of the three bands out of 25 who received a first place rating. For Johnsburg, it was the seventh year in a row! Brooklyn Bean demonstrates her skills on the french horn during half time. Choir It was an exciting year for the JHS choir. There were more first places in solo contests than ever before.

Pep Club This year the Pep Club had its largest enrollment yet. They performed such things as leading cheers at games, making posters, selling candy and many other things. The money was used for athletic equipment. All these things add pep to our school and this is the entire purpose of the Pep Club. The club is a vital part of the cheering section at both home and away games for all sports. Members use their voices and bodies to help the Skyhawks in any sport to a winning season. 63 The Fellowship of Christian Athletes sponsored a “5th Quarter” cookout after a football game.

JETS competitor Ralph Stark placed third for Johnsburg. The JETS team starts to prepare for the competition in November and continues until the February competitions. “I think the tests were very hard, even though we prepared for many months, said Ralph Stark.

Students Win Honors in VIC A By joining VICA, Johnsburg students are eligible for “hands on competition” with other VICA students in their field after qualifying on a written test. Over 3,800 students take this test every year. Only the top 5% are asked to compete in Springfield. Johnsburg High School has 14 students who finished in the top 5% with one qualifying in two areas. If one or more of our students place first in their area, the next step is national competition in Bob Pauluch, Jerry Wettstein and Darrel Birkhoff receive medals at the VICA competition.

It was the end of the year and people were starting to get really bored in study hall. It was at this time that students were starting to look for any way out, even if it meant some pretty weird stuff . . . “Hey! Do you want to go and play Blackjack?” I turned around to see a friend waiting for my answer. Black- Jack? How did he intend to play Blackjack during school without getting the third degree? “It’s on the computer down by the learning center,” he stated promptly. Well, I didn’t even know we had a computer to begin with. I said I would go only on one condition, that he would tell me how to do everything. “Oh, phooey!” was the next thing I heard. I was almost afraid to ask what had happened. The tape wouldn’t load. At the time the only thing this meant to me was that we would have to go back to study hall and wait for 3 P.M. to come around. Oh well . . . “I am going to go talk with one of the learning center people and see what is wrong.” Sure thing but what do I do in the meantime? “Well, you can try to type a program in.” Wait just a minute, I don’t even know how to turn this monster on, more or less make the stupid thing work. So he gave me a manual. Sure thing. I started to page through it. Seems pretty technical. Just a few hundred pages of total Greek in here. Huh? What’s this? Hey, a page of . . . Could this be a game? I think it is. Maybe if I type this 10 line thing in the book here I could play space invaders! Hmm, doesn’t seem to be working. All I get is stupid beeps. “I see you’ve found the graphics section of the manual!” The what? As he explained it to me I started to wonder, could I actually make a dot go across the screen and blow up in the middle? Hmm, I was determined to do it after he told me I could if I were an expert. I started to fiddle around for the whole hour. Nothing seemed to be working. As soon as 3:00 came around I was so obsessed with making this thing work, I was actually going to read the whole manual if I had to. For a whole week after that, every 7th hour, I was down in the computer room trying to make this explosion happen. I never did. I finally found out that I was going to have to read more then the graphics section to make this thing work, I was actually going to have to read the whole entire manual. What a bore! But I was determined. One day during the summer my dad was reading the paper and said to me “What do you think about a computer for $100?” Are you nuts? I thought to myself. From what I was told, the computer at school cost about $3,000. I told him it must have been a misprint or they are trying to rip everyone off. “It’s here, it came in the mail today,” my mom told me as soon as I walked in the door. I had waited for 4 weeks in agony, I was destined to get this explosion to work if I had to die (Continued on page 69) Left Row.

The summer was quite boring and I had nothing better to do. I read the manual and did everything step by step. I started making small programs, then bigger ones, but not too big, after all the computer only cost $100. Eighth grade went pretty good, and even better when I saw the school was getting a whole new shipment of brand new Apple computers! Six of them in fact! Holy cow, what a feast for the eyes! I finally found the person who was in charge of all the computers. 1 told him that I was familiar with computers because I had one at home for the summer. All he said was, “That’s nice,” and then he continued to set up a machine. 1 know a lot about BASIC programming I said. “That’s nice” was all I got in reply. “No one gets to touch these until I know how we are going to run them this year.” I thought I was going to die on the spot right there. “I suppose if you want to get familiar with the Apple, after all it is different from the computer you have at home.” So he threw in the now famous program called Apple Presents Apple. Most people that I have talked to have run across this handy dandy program at one time in their life. 1 thought to myself, “Oh, cool, I am the first kid that gets to work on the new school computer.” I had a great time during my 8th grade year. Every chance 1 got I would go down to the computer room and start programming. I got most of my friends down there, too. But behind my back, brewing, without my even knowing it, I was starting to get a reputation of Mr. Computer. One that in future school days I would soon regret. As I see myself back then, I became pretty withdrawn from most people. The computer became my closest friend. It's hard to picture, but look at it this way, it kept me entertained for hours, never cut me down, I didn’t have to look good for it, didn’t have to brush my teeth or gargle just to talk with it . . . Freshmen year. First day of class. Hey, this looks great. I think 1 will go sit by what’s his name. He eventually got up and left. Same happened for most of the year. I didn’t realize it, but it was happening. 1 was starting to lose friends. Not because of me, but because I just never talked to anyone. I would always go down to the learning center and program something. It sound really stupid but it happened. I met a couple of people in the computer room but nobody you could really call exciting with the possible exception of one or two people. There she goes again, the girl 1 have liked since 5th grade, even my best friend can confess to this. She doesn’t even know I am alive. My brother says I should ask her out for a date, so after a while of feeling embarrassed I do. She turns me down. Later that week my brother tells me why. “She says you’re a nice person and everything, but all you do is talk computer. Face it dude, you’re boring. All you do is computer.” Since her opinion meant a lot to me, I knew it was time to change. 1 told myself it was time to change my whole personality and pull myself out of this hole I had dug for myself. It wasn’t easy but it was well worth it. It was hard for me not to bring up computers to people when I talked, I searched for subjects to talk about, I worked at it, and it made a difference. When sophomore year came around, this year, I started going back to study hall and found out that it is still boring. Just as boring as it was in 7th grade. Some people still look upon me a Mr. Computer, but I look at it as my own fault. I have also seen a lot of incoming Freshmen that seem to be in the same groove I was. This is what 1 say to them: You have to realize what you look like before you can escape. People are much more fun then computers ever will be. So go out with your friends to that party Saturday night, take out Miss or Mr. Wonderful, the person you have always been chasing. I’m not saying that 1 don’t like all the knowledge I have in the field of computers. In fact, many people tell me that it will give me the edge wherever I go. No doubt it will, but 1 think if someone came up to me during study hall and asked me if 1 wanted to play some Blackjack, instead of waiting for the bell to ring, I think I would, but you can bet I would look over the situation twice, and the second time, the second time, I would . .. Well, you get the general idea! Varsity Football, Passing for New Highlights The Skyhawks took the field In 1984 with the largest squad In the school’s history. Thirty-nine athletes began the season and everyone contributed through the course of the campaign. During the summer practices, the juniors began their varsity career, as the seniors began the end of theirs. Emerging from the 105° heat as the base for the structure of the up coming season were the captains Mark Dumelle, Tom Kinney, Harry Giovanni and Mark DuRei. As school began the thoughts throughout the community were whether or not the 84 team could possibly equal half the excitement of the ’83 team. This was in the back of all the seniors’ minds “the days of a 1-8 season were gone.” Sept. 8 was the first test of the fairly inexperienced Skyhawks. The opponent, Rich- mond Burton entered the Skyhawk field, during a slight monsoon. The first points of the season were posted by the home team. In the first quarter, Bill Brown caught a touchdown pass from QB Mark DuRei. The Skyhawks didn’t play the game well as a team,” said head coach Randy Oberment. JHS had dropped its first game 16-7. The following week was a little brighter. The ’Hawks traveled to Nazareth Academy. The defense paced this game as they intercepted six passes. Four of the six fell into the hands of Mark “the Hot Ear” Majercik, setting a new single game record for JHS. The offense also came alive to score 5 touchdowns. 34-14 was the final tally. The Skyhawks returned to their home field to open conference play against pre-season favorite Lake Zurich. This was obviously not the home team’s day as they were outplayed in a 32-0 contest. Sept. 29 was the date, the defending “State Champs” were the opponents. The 'Hawks came out “pumped” as they held the Marian Central Hurricanes to a sole first down in the opening half, but turnovers and poor field positions left them a 13-7 trailer at the intermission. The Skyhawks fell behind in the third quarter 26-7, but the improving 'Hawks would die. Behind the blocking of Bob Bentz, Harry Giovanni, Tom Kinney, Bob McCauley and Rick Easterling, the varsity passing game came to life. Following an interception and a fine runback by Mark Dummelle, Mark DuRei connected with Peter Switzer for a 45-yard touch down toss. Then to close out the scoring for the 'Hawks Mark Dumelle and Mark DuRei combined to add a 25-yard touchdown pass. The final score was in the Champs favor 32-21. DuRei set a new passing record for a single game, tossing for 254 yard on the day. Next Friday was a night game against the Marengo Indians. The 'Hawks dominated the obviously less skilled Indians in the first half 21-0, but then let their guard down a bit to allow the Marengo team to rally and score 14 in the second half. The 'Hawks pulled it out and returned home a 21-14 victory. Homecoming was not one of the pleasant memories for anyone Involved with Skyhawk varsity football as the good guys gave this one away as “the lack of consistency hurt.” Dan Stefka was the big gun in this contest setting up the only 'Hawk touchdown with a 34-yard run. Mike “Pete” Majercik added a spectacular 31-yard field goal and the Skyhawks took a 10-7 lead into the locker room. The 'Hawks were in the second half and lost the contest 14-10. The 'Hawks traveled to Wauconda the following week. The Bulldogs celebrating their Homecoming, couldn’t contain the mighty Johnsburg team even in all the mud. The guys In the gold hats ruined the second Homecoming for the opposing schools. Winning 14-0. Senior day, is the final home game for the graduating seniors. The challenge that faced the Skyhawks was the Round Lake Panthers. As typical in most of the 'Hawk victories the defense led the way. Shutting the adequate Panthers out completely. While the offense scored on three touchdown passes to even their record. The final tally was 21-0. The final game was the rivalry extraordinary. Grant vs. Johnsburg. That cold Friday night was not to be the 'Hawks as they fell behind early and were never able to catch up. The Hawks lost 40-10. The final view of the season revealed that for the second straight year the offense again topped the 2,000 yard mark. The offense produced two school records, the first during the Marian game as DuRei broke the single game mark and the second coming at the end as DuRei set a new season passing record throwing for 1187 yards. The defense chalked up one as “Hot Ear” Majercik set a new single game interception record with four in the Nazereth game. All conference honors went to Tom Kinney, Mark DuRei, junior Bob Bentz and for the second straight year to 1984 most valuable player Mark Dummelle. Ralph Stark closed out his senior year being named the Most Improved. The 1984 Senior Class becomes the most winning varsity class in school history with a 11-7 record. The Juniors will be tough next year as they join forces with the Sophomores who posted a 7-1-1 record. A tradition was built and it looks as though winning will become a part of JHS Football in the future.

Frosh Soph Football The sophomore team had an outstanding season, finishing 7 1-1. Coach Bill Hurckes stated that the sophomores will make a strong nucleus for the varsity team next season. The team’s most exciting game was against Marian. The Skyhawks were up 6-0 in the 4th quarter with two seconds remaining on the clock. Marian had a first down, and they were on the 2-yard line. On the snap of the ball, Mark Adams sacked the quarterback for a loss, and the Skyhawks won! The freshmen struggled this year ending up with an 0-8 record. Coach Bob Schmitt noted that if they practice harder and study their plays, they should do better next season. Another first down for Brian Fralzer Sophomore Team: First Row: Buddy Parsons.

Rebuilding Season The lady Skyhawks had a rebuilding season with only three returning lettermen: Laura Hintz, Cris May and Debbie Tvaroh. They played a vital role on the team. In tournament play the squad took first place in the consolation round of the Zion Benton tournament and gained a lot of experience for next year’s returning lettermen since they were playing schools in the top sixteen of the state. In first round of the state tournament they dominated McHenry, and then in the second round they lost a tough four-game match to Crystal Lake South. Even with only three seniors, the Skyhawks battled for the conference lead. They finished third, one game out of second. The MVP was Laura Oeffling, the captain was Cris May, and the most improved was Vicki Dubeau. Coach Johnson said they should battle for the conference crown next year because they have ten returning lettermen and a strong sophomore squad moving up.

Their conference record was 4-6, and their overall record was 6-7, leaving them in 5th place. A lot of improvement was seen the second half of the season after a slow start. With a year of high school level experience behind them it should be great improvement for them next year. The sophomore volleyball team had a conference record of 7-7, and an overall record of 11-10, leaving them in 4th place. Both the team and coach Diane Nimocks feel that the record really does not indicate the true capabilities of the team. They should add a lot of depth to next year’s varsity team- SOPHOMORE VOLLEYBALL TEAM.

The ’Hawks started the season faring well in their first few meets. They were .500 leading into their fifth meet with the Crystal Lake Gators. For the first time in JHS history, they defeated the Gators, and the winning season was off to a great start. The Skyhawks racked up victories in four of their next six meets. In one of the largest meets of the season, the Wauconda Invitational, Johnsburg finished second in the conference, Grant being the only team ahead of them. Great performances were turned in by all the Skyhawks, but exceptional performances were turned in by Mike Lawrence, who finished 10th overall, and Jeff Nichols, who finished 32nd overall. Mike received a trophy and Jeff a ribbon for their accomplishments. Coach Bob Texidor was pleased saying, ‘‘We finished where I thought we would overall. What was most gratifying was that the only conference team that finished ahead of us was Grant.” The Skyhawks final record was 7-4 overall and 4-1 in conference competition. Mark Clary crosses the finish line. Top Skyhawk runner Mike Lawrence edges out his opponent. He is the first Skyhawk runner ever to win the conference title. Cross Country Team TENNIS TEAM.

Team captain was Patti Schmitt, and most improved player was Dawn Wetzstein. Cathy Podhorn returns a serve as Dawn Wetzstein looks on. The 1984 MVP, Debbie Linn, serves to an opponent. Sky hawk Wrestlers have best record ever. The 1984-85 JHS wrestling season went better than expected, according to Coach Mike Roberts. As a team, the Skyhawks finished with a 14-7 record, which is the best in Skyhawk history. The team had a 5-2 record in the NWSC (a 3rd place finish). In touranment play, Johnsburg was always a threat, capturing two first places, one in the earlier part of the year at the Richmond-Burton tourney and the other later in the season at the Geneva tourney. One of the biggest tournaments was the Wheaton St. Francis tour- nament. Out of sixteen teams, the Skyhawks were able to capture 6th place. The team grabbed 4th in Regional play, and four teammates qualified to wrestle in the Sectional tournaments. They were: Dave Thoren, 132-pound junior; Brian Hauck, 145- pound junior; Mark Dumelle, 167- pound senior; Bob Bentz, HWT junior. Dumelle and Bentz were the first in Skyhawk history to have 30 wins in one year. “I am setting high expectations for next year since only two starting seniors will be leaving and a strong underclass team will be moving in,” said Coach Roberts.

Why was this team better than the others? Coach Nancy Fahey said, “A lot of hard work, dedication and caring about each other really paid off in the end.” Did your fans’ support help? “The fans were fantastic. The girls were in awe, even when we lost the last game. The fans came up and still cheered the girls on! Not one or two individuals, but five busloads of fans.” Did you ever think you would make it this far in the beginning of the season? “No, 1 knew we had the talent, but we were just concerned about getting to regionals.” How did the girls feel about their season? “It was a special season for them, as well as myself, mainly because we did win and the girls were all close to each other. It’s easy to coach a team that’s close, because they all work together.” Lady Skyhawks listen carefully for further Instructions. 82 How did the team feel when you went to Rockford? “All I can say is they were ready to go!” What was the most memorable game for you? “There were three that stick out in my mind: Wauconda, Crystal Lake, and Honnonegah. Why these three? “Well, we came from behind to win, and that’s the best way to win a game. It makes you feel that much better.” How do you feel about next year’s team, considering you will have three returning starters? “Well, I feel the same about next year as I did about this year, we have the potential, I just hope we will be able to use it to our advantage and go all the way next year.” The girls had their best season, finishing with a record of 20-6. The lady Skyhawks went on to become regional champions and then sectional finalists. They finished with a third place in the Northwest Suburban Conference. Teammates then chose the following girls for special awards: Laura Oeffling, most valuable player; Cris May, captain; Carolyn Shine, most improved; and Sheri Scavo, best defensive player.

The Hawks struggled all through the year, only winning eight of their twenty-four contests. They seemed to be working very hard all through the season, but, the team usually fell just short of the victory. Most of their losses were by small deficits, usually five points or less. The most valuable player for the 84-85 season was Jeff Nichols. The captain was Mark DuRei. Jeff Nichols puts up a defensive hand against Marian’s offensive shooter. VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM.

He feels the girls did a good job and were very competitive through- out the year. We even had some of our school records broken. The record for the 2-mile run was broken by freshman Tammy Policky. Freshman Carolyn Shine also broke the record for shot put. Our 4 girls who ran in the 400 meter relay also broke the record. They were Kerri Beutel, Shari Scavo, Vicky DeBeau and Laura Oeffling. Freshman Cathy Neumann, sophomore Laura Brehm, freshman Lisa Nunamaker and sophomore Wendy Boelens also broke the record for the 600 meter relay run. Coach Bill Hurckes says there was a lot of fun and enjoyment this season, and he is looking forward to next year! Boys Track Team Far Left: Harry Giovanni pushes himself in an away meet.

Overall, it was a good season with Bill Dust named MVP; Ed Schultz, most improved; John Shiman most valuable sophomore; and Mike Lawrence and Bill Meyer were chosen as 100% The final record was 7-5 and 4-3 in Conference. 93 Varsity Baseball The Varsity Baseball team finished a tough season with a overall record of 3-16. Coach Meyers felt the team “Didn’t put together the major aspects (pitching, fielding and hitting).’’ He said that many physical talents were present, but the mental area was lacking. Meyers is hopeful that experience gained this year will help results next year. He said, “We broke many records and we hope to do the same next year in the opposite direction.” John Kegel was named best offensive player and most valuable player. The Golden Glove Award went to Doug Sobiesk. Best Pitcher award went to Jason Perry, who had all three of the wins. Tri-Captains Mike Majercik, Mark Majercik and Doug Sobiesk. Peter Switzer was chosen on the North West Suburban Conference All- Conference Team. Mike and Mark Majercik were honored “All Academic” with Dave Huemann receiving an honorable mention. Mark Majercik was awarded the Old Timer’s Scholarship, which is given to a senior on the varsity team with a high grade point average and planning to attend college. Next year the varsity will have 12 juniors returning to the team. That is helpful to the team in many aspects. More leadership and devotion will mean a better record for the team in following years.

Coach Wayne Hiller commented that they could have ended up with a 12 5 season with a few breaks. The leading pitcher was Brian Frazier at 5 2. The leading hitter was Frank Husak at .429. The Freshmen had a tough season with a 4-13 record. Coach Dave Dombrowski said with only 11 players going out it was kind of tough to always fill the positions and with a little help next year the sophomores will be better than 4 13. The freshmen did have one highlight in the year by beating Grant twice. SOPHOMORE TEAM.

J.V. Softball The Junior varsity girls softball team had a very exciting season this year. The girls ended their season with an impressive 8-5 record. The Skyhawks seemed in good shape in the beginning of the season. They practiced as a team and defeated their opponents the same way. Coach Fahey was very pleased with the ball club. They show great potential for a great season next year as a varsity team. 100 JHS Power Task at hand Johnsburg had the task of protecting its championship of last year. The other schools wanted to make that impossible. This was the feeling among everyone. As more and more schools arrived the feeling greatened. Everyone spent the time before the lifting started warming up and checking out the competition. Maybe it was someone who they had competed against in another sport but never met. Or it was someone they knew by reputation only. They had to find out. Were they as big? Had they trained hard enough? They asked themselves. But anything that happened from here on depended on what they had done in the weight- room over the past three months or so. Nothing could be done now . . . lifters have determination! N Fellowship of Christian Athletes Powerlifting Outcome In the meet, JHS took the champion- ship over Grant with a score of 60 to 52 points. These two teams dominated the scoring with Lake Zurich taking third with 24 points. When asked about the competition, Coach Randy Oberembt stated, “Compe- tition between schools was much tighter. The schools came more prepared.” Being so close throughout the meet, there was an air of nervousness. Everyone wondered if JHS could win again. “Grant had brought a very close team was on people’s mind. Individually, JHS had three meet championships: Brian Hauck (125-145), Tom Kinney (146-160), and Bob Bentz (HWT) “We had a lot of outstanding efforts, and long term preparation on the part of our athletes. They can be proud of the way they lifted and about the type of good sportsmanship they displayed,” Coach Oberembt added. Harry Giovanni shows much determination in the deadlift as Tom Kinney and others cheer him on. (McHenry Plaindealer. Photos.) ----------- Harry Walk prepares to deadlift.

The school board consists of seven members that are from the Johnsburg community. In order to be a member of the school board, you have to live in the school district. The community votes on who will be on the school board staff and who the officers are. The term to serve for the school board is 3 years. The school board is the operation of the school district. Members make the decisions concerning general policies of District 12. 104 Administration DR. DUANE ANDREAS Superintendent of Schools PAT BINGMAN Administrative Assistant ROB GOUGH Principal RANDY OBEREMBT JAMES VANBOSH STEVE POLLOCK Assistant Principal Assistant Principal Vocational Education Director 105 Faculty The faculty at JHS started out in 1978 with a relatively small number. They had to work under unfavorable conditions, with the construction of the building still going on, and the daily instructing was very tedious. Despite these original difficulties, those first teachers laid the foundation for many years of quality education at JHS. Now with a staff in excess of 40 in 1985, the instructors continue to provide the students with a quality education. Their lessons and teachings will aid students in their individual futures. Based on the performance of the JHS faculty in the past, it can be easily said that its quality is sure to expand and develop to even higher levels over the coming years.

Sherry Hendershott Cheryl Helmandollar ■ Computers and Weights Computers play a big part in all of our daily lives. And the JHS FCA powerlifting invitational was no exception. At the meet, they were used for the quick and accurate scoring. In comparison, the computers took about five minutes to score the meet while last year, it took about a half hour to score by hand. This was all made possible by three JHS seniors. Ralph Stark, Bill Kilcoyne, and Mark Zvonar. These three designed, wrote and worked the scoring of the meet. The scoring program took them about three months of their own time to complete. A special thanks goes to the FCA, Graphic Arts and the coaches who donated their time, and to these three students who made the scoring possible. Terri Lamerand enjoys cooking.

Through it all, we stuck together. Among the things to remember are the proofs of geometry, the one week project of chemistry due tomorrow, the first time we got to drive the car alone! Even the first time we shot an arrow in gym class. As it seems, like every year, students come back to school, strangers to each other, although we have known each other for many years. We have discovered that people take sophomores for what they are. We have found out that sophomores have out-lived their freshmen ways, have learned the ways of the school, and have learned not to fear those huge Seniors as they may have feared as freshmen. In a sense, sophomores are a class upon themselves. They are not looked down upon, as freshmen, but are not looked up upon like the juniors or seniors. Now in our second year, we have learned the ins and outs of the school system. We have learned who to joke with and who to be serious with. We were sophomores then, but next year we will be juniors. And that will put us one step closer to the top. 130 Mark Adams Patricia Adams Craig Ames Timothy Aylward Deborah Babarskl Shawn Bach Michael Bakker Sue Banaszynski Kenneth Barrett Jennifer Bauer Nicole Bazielwich Shaun Bean Chad Bear Penny Beck Renee Beck Beth Berg Brian Bemdt Russell Biba Tracy Bilske Tim Bockhaus.
