Mrs. Solt headed the science fair, a new experience for Lovington students this year, with projects from Mrs. Solt’s, Mr. Schwartz’s, and Mr. Coppage’s science classes being judged locally. Ten projects from the high school and junior high proceeded to the regional science fair. The three first awards at regional went on to the state science fair. Both teachers were very proud of their students’ work and progress. Mr. Kim Schwartz Business Mr. Don Bell Mr. Donald Bell is the head of the Business department at L.H.S. He teaches Typing I 2, shorthand, Office Practice, Bookkeeping, and Vocational Math. These classes are to help students in today’s business world.

Mrs. Thomas teaches basic English and English II while English I is taught by Mrs. Uphoff. English IV, a college - bound course, is designed to prepare senior students to work independently, as college courses demand. The English IV students contracted for their grades and were responsible for various projects during the last quarter. The basic English classes, in their second year in the curriculum, concentrated on vocational English and communication skills. Mrs. Ellen Thomas Fine Arts The chorus, directed by Mrs. Brenda Dannewitz, has had a rewarding year. Small ensembles and soloists participated in contest on March 3. They received ten firsts and ten seconds. The full mixed chorus received a first place award at contest on April 7. The groups and soloists performed for many school and community events such as Senior Citizens, Christmas program, Spring concert, baccalaureate, and graduation. Mrs. Brenda Dannewitz Singing the ‘National Anthem’ at a football game.' The high school band, under the direction of Mr. David Deitemyer, has had a busy year. They received a third division rating at the 1979 band contest. The band, which has 41 members, performed at basketball games, the Spring concert, and graduation. Mr. Deitemyer and the band were practicing diligently during the spring in anticipation of next fall’s marching band. Mr. Don Morgan teaches art at the high school, junior high, and grade school. Many of his art students traveled to the Scholastic Art Awards Show in Champaign. Two of his students, Cody Gentry and Rhonda Morgan, took their art work to New York. Mr. Morgan’s art classes hold an annual art show in which their artwork is displayed downtown for the community to enjoy. Mr. Don Morgan 13 Foreign Language And Guidance Mrs. Karen Thompson teaches Spanish I and II and French I and II. Her students enjoy learning, not only the language, but also the customs of these countries. Mrs. Thompson and her French II class enjoyed an evening of leisure at her house dining on French food which the students prepared themselves. Mrs. Thompson is also our guidance counselor. She is always available to handle the various problems students must face. 14 Physical Education The physical education department has three teachers: Mr. Nik Groothuis, Mrs. Ellen Thomas, and Miss Polly Cooke. The girls’ and boys’ PE classes are combined often throughout the year. They play basketball, softball and volleyball as coed classes.

The semester courses offer a more varied curriculum to the students. Mrs. Uphoff also headed the mini-courses day held in March. Classes like karate, knitting, gourmet cooking, and disco dancing were offered throughout the day. The students and teachers enjoy this day very much since it is an educational, refreshing change. Mrs. Judy Uphoff 16 Mrs. Connie Dunscomb Title I Title I, headed by Mrs. Connie Dunscomb, has been part of Lovington’s curriculum for three years. It is a federally funded program which has provided the school with over one hundred new reading books, skills books, and diagnostic materials this year.

The breeze was blowing softly, the sun shining brightly, and it was just the right weather for a reunion. That s just what the graduating class of 1980 decided to do. The place was Owen City, which was owned by TERRY OWEN. As my fellow class members stood and talked of all the good times they had and of all their other experiences, I decided to look through some of the old newspapers I had found. As I looked at the Moultrie County News, I found that Mrs. Ellen Thomas had retired from her teaching job at L.H.S. and LORRI CLARK had taken her place as the physical education teacher. This kind of surprised me since I didn’t ever quite remember them getting along. As I continued my browsing through the school news, I discovered there was a new debate team starting. It seemed to be that JEFF KRAUEL and JOHN JONES were on the debate team against Mrs. Solt, the physics teacher. It said they really couldn’t seem to handle her, so Mr. DAVE KIDWELL, the college professor was coming to teach science at L.H.S. Then, much to my amazement, I couldn’t believe it, but FRED CLARK had become assistant band director next to Bob Hutton. And in the last section of school news, I saw that LORRI MCKINNEY had become the first woman coach at Notra Dame since Murf was already there, so she had to follow to keep an eye on him. Also, JIM COSLOW had become head custodian at the school. After awhile, I got tired of looking at that paper, so I turned to the Decatur Herald. On the front page was a picture of SC O I I C LARKSON with the before and after pictures of his recent nose operation. I couldn’t believe it was him. As I looked at the next page under the entertainment section, I saw that CONNIE WOOD had started performing as a concert pianist all over America. Then I was trying to hunt for some entertainment for our class members to do, and I noticed the circus was coming to town with their No. 1 attraction being PAM MAYCROFT and her elephant “Dumbo”. It seemed as if Pam was doing quite well and that if people looked at the ears on Pam or the elephant, they couldn’t tell who was who. I thought we could maybe go there but SABRINA JOHNSON was fighting at the Assembly Hall tonight. We finally decided to go watch the circus since the fight was sold out. Then I was looking through the rest of the paper and I came to the birth section. Under the name “DAVIS” was a baby boy born to RONDA and Jeff Davis of Lovington. And, as the old saying goes, “Like father like son,” the boy was 6 feet tall when born! As we began our walk to the circus, we decided to look around town before we went. Instead of walking, we decided to rent a car and where else did we get it but at AMY NEWBERRY’S “Rent-a-Riviera.” She was doing pretty well in her business, especially with Rivieras. We noticed that Owen City had more new businesses booming than when we were in school. There was a place called Rent-a-Date, owned by TON'� BROWN. We figured that Tony was a good manager at this business since he was always the Burt Reynolds at school. Then right next to Tony’s business was his good friend SCOTT BICKNELL. Scott had a pretty good Dairy Farm skyrocketing and we knew that it had to be because of the help from Lana. Then, just a few stores down, was the new “Roach Exterminating” business, owned by MARK TROWER - you know, him and those roachkillers!! I just couldn’t believe that all these ’79 Seniors really made it this far. Next, we went on to the other end of town and guess what business we saw next? You’re right - it was MARK DODD’S carry-out liquor and even though Mark owned it, PAT FITZGIBBONS was the head of the business. They do a pretty good job and are in good terms with everyone - especially the teenagers. Since we are talking about teenagers, I guess I’ll tell you about the main place for teenagers. BRIAN FORBESS owns his own T-Shirt factory with no other transfers available than “Nano-Nano!” In business with Brian’s shirt factory was PENNY NEWBERRY with her newest creation of mod jeans!! Then we noticed another new building added to Owen Town and it was PAT HENDRIX’S Child Care Center. As we went by, I thought I noticed the guy standing outside and I was right! It was DAVE EDRINGTON, the owner of his own barber shop which was called, “Buzz Barber Shop”. And waiting in line to get his hair cut was CURT CLOUGH and gang, J.C. and the boys for their international motocross racing tour. Then to keep our town in order was the office of JOANNA GENTRY, the first woman lawyer in Owen Town. It seemed as if all the really nice businesses were gathered together in one section of town. Bill’s Cafe was now owned by LISA PROBUS. Also a new cafe, the “Brown Jug” was owned by DEBBIE ELZY. On down the street was a beauty-shop owned by RONDA TARR. As we passed by, we stopped and peeked through the window. Everyone was carrying canteen purses. Next in the category of new stores, was a department store with its grand opening beginning. As we walked in, we saw GARV JACKSON buying a new Barbie Doll. We just laughed at the sight of this, but we even laughed harder when we saw that the cashier was DAV’E CREEK who really didn’t know what he was doing. Everyone was getting away with everything but Dave didn’t notice it. As we were leaving the store, NEIL DETTLING, the new owner of Boyer Construction, came in with his work clothes on. We talked to him about his construction work, and then we left. But, much to our amazement, out in the parking lot was CHERIE CRUTCHFIELD washing the cars. We wondered what she was trying to prove, but then remembered that Cherie was always good at washing cars while she was in school. After we paid Cherie for washing the rented Riviera, we continued our drive through Owen Town. One of the most breathtaking sights was the new church with Reverend JAY TUSING as the head evangelist. It seemed that Bible School was going on because of all the children outside, and ROGER NEWLAN was taking pictures for the paper. And, this may be hard to believe, but out in front of the church, SUSY YOUNG was picketing, trying to get marijuana legalized. Finally we arrived at the circus and next to the circus site was the Hawthorne Lodge, ran by CAROLYN PHILLIPS. As we walked around at the circus, we saw a lot of the ’79 Seniors there with their families. We saw BECKY WOODARD, who was hunch back because she was having trouble carrying around all those Olympic Gold Medals from track. We also saw LISA FAIR, who was the new secretary at the High School where she was known for issuing three hundred passes a day for the kids to get out of school. Then, the next person we saw was PETE FROST, who was trying very hard to make his week a week of only weekends so he could have fun all of the time. Pam was not the only entertainment at the circus. There was also JEFF FOLEY giving his imitation of Van Halen; also giving a demonstration on the parts of the car was BILL PARR, the manager at NAPA Auto Parts in Mt. Zion. Also, ALICE SANDIFER BARNARD was there with her latest quilt displays. After we left the circus, we saw JOHN SMITH, leading his entire family of nine home. This family business must run in the family. We finally went back to our reunion place and said our goodbyes to each other. We knew we had discovered a lot today and we will always remember the “Seniors of ’79”!

There were 15 days of school left and counting? Pete Frost “No more Frosts in the morning.” Joanna Gentry Hey you guys, did I ever tell you about the time I watched Barnaby Jones?” Pat Hendrix “Ready for the weekend, to get down and party.” Brian Forbess Ronda Hodge Gary Jackson “Hey, Carolyn, have you “No comment.” thought of something to put under your Senior picture?” Sabrina Johnson “If you love him set him free. If he comes back you were meant to be. If he doesn’t, there are other fish in the sea.” John Jones “Thank God.” David Kidwell Dave” “You’re not the only one with a nickname, Joanna.” 28 Jeff Krauel ‘‘Watch out, John Travolta!” Pam Maycroft “Dumbo” Lorri McKinney “Mac Apply foot in mouth.” Amy Newberry “How do I spell relief? M-A-Y-25.” Penny Newberry “Life is too short to go through it crying, so live it up, laugh it up, and just keep on trying.” Terry Owen “Shorty” Roger Newlan “Now, Mr. Mayo, if we could only have another day out.” Bill Parr “Willie” 29 Senior Will We, the members of the Lovington High School Class of 1979, being of sound mind and body, and believing in the certainty of our near departure from the afore said school, do hereby make and declare this instrument of writing to be our last will and testament as seniors and students of Lovington High School.

This year, coached by Mr. Groothuis and Mr. Morgan, marked a youth movement in the basketball program with all but two players being Sophomores and Freshmen. The most valuable player this year was the only senior on the squad, Gary Jackson. Gary led the team in several categories and was an outstanding player. Phil Parrish, the only junior on the team, showed much improvement over the season. Eric Smith, Les Reedy, and Kenny Franklin, who also started this year, were examples of the youth movement. Expectations for the next few years should be high as basketball will improve at L.H.S.

Hey man, this fifties craze isn’t bad! Mini-Course Day Donkey Basketball Junior Senior Prom “Heaven Tonight” These two little devils are painting their way to heaven. Working on the “Heavenly Gates!' It takes many hours of work to transform Lovington High’s Gym into “Heaven” The teachers seemed to enjoy the dance even more than the students. The theme of the prom given on May 4, 1979 by the Junior Class was “Heaven Tonight.” The music at the dance was provided by Hardy Street and everyone enjoyed themselves. All the hard work and long hours spent by the Junior Class was paid off when the big night arrived and the prom proved to be a success. 1979 Prom Court Queen and King Candidates for this year’s Prom were Terry Owen, Lorri McKinney, Lisa Fair, Jeff Foley, Pat Fitzgibbons, and Dave Edrington. The Prince and Princess were Shawn Atchison and Lisa Rhodes. Lisa Fair and Dave Edrington were crowned Queen and King at the coronation at the 1979 Prom. Lisa and Shawn enjoy first dance together. 103 Alice (Sandifer) Barnard F. H.A. 1-3; Camera Club 1; Kindergarten Aid 2; Library Aid 2.
