The week before the game was filled with contests from Dress-Up days to the Powder Puff football game, which the Varsity girls won 8 to 6. A pep rally and bonfire was held on the Friday night and the attendants were announced at that time. The game on Saturday was exciting with the Frosh- Soph winning 38 to 12 but the Varsity fell short with a 24-14 loss. That night Rick Roop and Sheila Barber were crowned King and Queen at the Dance.

The midseason points saw the Demons a holder of a 3-2 record, with three shut-outs and a 2nd place defen- sive ranking of all Northern Illinois high schools. A series of mishaps weakened the ball club to its disappoint- ing finish. Post season honors were not withheld, however. All-Conference status went to Rick Roop and Bill Toannon. Steve Cornelius and Rick Roop were chosen to the Coach 0 Athlete Outstanding Senior Football Team. Rick Roop was also chosen to the Rockford Morning Star All Area team. Most valuable lineman and back were Bill Toannon and Rick Roop, while most improved player was Bob Heinze. 8 Varsity Football Rick Roop Sonny Bryant Terry Miller Bill Toannon Seniors Mike Wilson Bill Motter Eugene Barney Dave Nelson Steve Cornelius Seniors 9 FRONTROW L.

It was called ' 'Crewcuts and Longh- airs'' and was about the reversal of personalities due to a sometime successful hypnotist. All the actors did a very good job and the play was thoroughly enjoyed by all. CAST Biff Watherspoon .............. Rock Thorton .................. Archer Renford ................

There were many close games that the Demons could not quite pull out. The team members practiced long and hard the whole year even when the going was rough and this deserves some cred- it. We wish them a successful year next season. 16 Varsity Basketball Steve Cornelius Dave Nelson Mike Wilson Senior Players Dan Dilbeck Seniors 17 Frosh-Soph Basketball FRONT ROW L. TOR.: R.

The year was pretty successful all around. The Demons finished up with 9-1 conference record and 12-4 over all. With this group of ball players coming up. The future looks bright. Basketball may become a common word around the households and winning a common happening.

They certainly do make a fine addition to Leaf River High School and always do an excellent job. We wish them every suc- cess in the future. 22 Poms Snaps 23 I I Athletic Banquet Year of the Demon was the very appropriate theme for this years athletic banquet. Again the SOS did a very nice job of setting up and arranging the banquet. A potluck dinner was served and then awards and recognition were passed out to all those members of the Leaf River High School Sports teams. Miss Padgett gave recognition to the Pom squad. Mr. Harmston and Mr. Pearson recognized the football teams and Mr. Van deGraft and Mr. Nolan presented awards to the basketball players. Congratulations all. Tractor day was just one of the events that went on during Na- tional FFA Week. Eleven members participated in this event by driving their tractors to school. Other events were Dress Up Day, Jacket Day and on Friday the FFA officers had a radio interview on WFRL. Leaf River High School Presents “The Music Man” Keeping in the tradition of its first musi- cal Carnival last year, Leaf River High School presented 'The Music Man on April 29th 30th. Lead parts were played by Terry Miller and Kathy Motter. Thirty four other students made up the entire cast in a production that was applauded to from beginning to end.

DEMON '77 TRACK CLOSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR _ ™ Leaf River runners, throwers and jumpers put the cap an a year, which in general, gushed success. Records fell in profusion this year to the quick tempo of Demon achievement. Team records saw the Frosh-Soph top 100 points in dual competition twice—vs. Franklin Center and vs. Shabbona, a school, record. The Frosh- Soph second consecutive Track Conference Championship also was a record. Conference records also fell to the Demons in plenty. In all Leaf River now holds eight records in the old Upstate Illini Conference. At the varsity level the quartet of Terry Miller, Bill Toannon, Jim Schelling and Doug Turner hold the conference 440 yd. relay mark of 46.5. At the Frosh-Soph level the Demons also own the 440 yd. relay mark, a 49.0 by Mark Myers, Casey Lester, Dan Miller and Dave Borgmann. Showing strength in the weights (shot and dis- cus) marks are owned by Kevin Klapp and Mark Long. Another junior, Bob Wagner's 2 year old record in the 880 still stands and the Demons have a double champion in the mile and 2 mile, Freshman Bob Toannon. Both track teams did an excellent job this year and were exciting to watch. Good luck next year. Track 35 36 Theme 1977 Graduating Seniors FRONT ROW L.

The students who achieve this goal must also maintain it in order to be kept on in the club. Those who fail are put on pro- bation until such time as their grades are again at or above a 4.25 average and they can again be voted into the club. SEATED L. TO R. : Adviser Miss Alvey, D.

During their study halls, the stu- dents help an assigned teacher by grading pa- pers, helping students with individual subjects and doing errands for the teacher. The aide program is a huge suc- cess and the elemen- tary teachers are pleased to have the help from these students. FRONT ROW L. TOR.: C. Boyd, D. Huenefeld, C. Pingel, J. Adkins, D. Pingel, T.

Mike Wilson, the Demon club had another productive year of in-school athletic ser- vice, as befits the varsity letter-winners organization. First came the motto board for the football scoreboard. Next came the development of a true weight- room, complete with decorations and records, as well as equipment. Last came a fundraising project to improve field event areas for both girl and boy track teams. Three for three is a good average in any sport. 54 Demon Club s.o.s FRONT ROW L. TO R.: VP K.

The club met every day during activity period and added girls to the membership. Over 60 students took part in various phases of the weight program. The results in boys sports can readily be seen this year by the total record - 6 sports offered, 4 of them winning, 2 of them confer- ence champions. We hope the results for the girls sports will be as gratifying. Weightlifting 57 FRONT ROW L. TO R.: Adviser Mr. Wesley, Treas. S. Bryant, Sec. L. Kappenman, Pres. M. Wilson, VP. S. Cornelius, Rep.

Flag Girls The 1976-77 Leaf River Marching Band started off with a busy summer and fall. They per- formed in OLD CHICAGO in August and in parades in Genoa, Ashton, Mt. Morris, Kirk- land, Forreston and Oregon. Our band also hosted the second marching band contest for the Leaf River Bi-Centennial Celebration. This year 7 bands performed. Winning bands were the Crown Imperials in Class AA and Leaf River in Class A. The Marching Demons and flag girls also participated in a NIU Homecoming parade and at home football games providing excellent half-time enter- tainment. Many hours of hard work by the group and individuals help make our band one to be PROUD of. Girls’ Chorus FRONT ROW L. TO R.: L. Van Brocklin, P. Johnson, M. Bomeman, K. Motter, N.

Student Index 95 The staff of the Le-Ri-Co would like to dedicate this annual to the 1977 Seniors. It is true that they may never pass this way again. And we hope that through this book they may look back at their years at Leaf River High School with affection and lasting memories always. They will be missed in the halls of LRHS. We wish them every success and happiness that life has to offer them. Good Luck. 96 Closing
