To Bottom of I-8 Finishing its season with a 2-11 overall record, the varsity badminton team placed eighth in the I-8 Confer- ence competition. According to Coach Lynn Minarich the most valuable singles player was Pam Harper. Harper also received an honorable mention to the second All-Conference team. Lack of depth and experience were the primary factors that led to the disappointing season, said Coach Minarich. Getting through each match was an accomplishment, she contin- ued. We did not have any substitutes, so if anyone was injured or sick, we had to forfeit that position, Coach Minarich added.

Holmquist, A. Albert. Back Row: Fl. Huff, M. Crandall, F. June, Write-In Candidates Make History Health Office Aide Debrah Marion completes the daily tasks associated with nursing. After the votes were counted in the School Board election on November 3, it was announced that two write-in candidates, Arlene Albert and Ford C. June, had upset the two incumbents, Dwain Givens and Isaam Rasheed. This was the first time in the history of District 204 that write-in candidates had won an election. Before the election, the board had voted to close Joliet Central for 1982-83 because of the financial deficit. Some unhappy citizens formed the Save Central Committee to pressure the board into reversing its decision. When the board failed to do so, the committee backed three candidates, Albert, June and Marshall Crandall, who promised to keep Central open. After winning the election, these three and Beverly McNiff joined Francis Holmquist, R. Joseph Huff, and Ernest Tonelli to form the new school board. As a result of a 4-3 vote, the board reversed its decision to close Joliet Central. Francis Holmquist, president, also voted in favor of the reversal. Pupil Personnel Staff was another department affected by the budget cuts. According to Mrs. Naomi Hed- strom, one member of the counseling staff was cut because of the financial deficit and declining enrollment. Another change within the counseling department occured with freshman entrance exams. Freshmen were no longer tested for placement in different ability levels. Despite the budget cuts, the PPS department continued to aid students. Counselors helped students with graduation requirements programming, and college and career choices. Health Office Aide Debrah Marion, Psychologist Marion Gilbertson, and Social Worker Beverly Antoniewicz also aided students with their prob- lems.
