ADS: Index 148. 7 976 Monesse Momence High School Momence, Illinois 60954 Volume Number 76 Fads, fads, fads, a changing thing Fads are a coming and going thing. They seem to appear, and as soon as they get started another fad has replaced them. Even in the Bicenten- nial year the fads are still around. Some American fads for the Bicenten- nial year are good but some are degrading. When red, white and blue coffins and false teeth come around people are over doing it a bit. Bicentennial celebrations took place all over the United States during 1976 and Momence is no exception. Special exhibits were displayed at the Momence Historical Museum. Also, posters, such as those of “Uncle Sam“ and other historical figures, were being hung up around town. Color was added to the fire hydrants in town when the Ladies of the Lions sponsored a “Fire Hydrant Painting Contest. Students in grades seven to 12 took part in painting the hydrants red, white and blue during the first week in May. 1976 license plates were another added feature to the scene along with the Bicentennial logo that was placed everywhere. Back in the 1950's crazy fads started The Fifties was an era of craziness — cigarettes rolled up in tee- shirt sleeves, Howdy Doody puppets, car-hops on roller skates, hula- hoops, blowing gum bubbles, swallowing goldfish, stuffing phone booths and Volkswagens and “necking” in the backseat. To add to the insanity, the kids came up with kooky dances like the “Limbo” and the “Bunny Hop.” Or how about the “Stroll” and the “Jitterbug.” Then there were the clothes and hair styles! Silly things like rolled up blue jeans, bobby socks and saddle shoes, white bucks, ankle length skirts, white blouses and sweaters with neck scarfs, tee-shirts and black leather jackets, strapless Prom dresses and lettermen’s sweaters. And don’t forget such hairstyles as the high ponytails, duck- tails crew cuts and ratted hair. All of these fads are gone but soon with the changing times might come back. 4 Mood rings a must for '76 Fads reveal a continuous change in style and actions of all Americans. No one can explain why something becomes popular anymore than they know why it fades out. During the 1975-76 school year moods rings, that changed color with a person’s emotions, were a must on most Christmas lists. A wide vari- ety of denim styles continued to be the mode of dress for high school students. Platforms, ten- nis” and earth shoes made feet more comforta- ble for the walkers. With the appearance of girls sports, the females had their own jackets styled for Momence High. The All-American hamburger and pizzas continued to top the most favorite food lists. What will come next evades even the fortune tellers mind. 7 8 HAPPENINGS throughout the year kept the stu- dent body and faculty involved in anything from tug-o-wars to the all- important prom. Student Council did their best to provide a variety of events to be active with. The first Valentines Dance took place in early February. As always. Homecoming occu- pied the majority of the time. Jun- iors Deena Kincaid and Terri Clark, at left, did their part to make the parade a success by dressing as clowns to please the young and young-at-heart. Winnie-the-Pooh captivated chil- dren and adults alike with four per- formances in early March. Momence High didn't celebrate a bicentennial but did graduate its 100th class. A look through the following pages will be a permanent reminder of what happened during the 1975-76 school year.

Student Council put together a lot of fun and adventure for the student body at MHS. The week was run a little differently this year. Instead of the annual tape race, a yarn contest was conducted. Each class was to bring in as much red, white and blue yarn as possible in keeping with a Bicenten- nial theme. The yarn was then rolled into balls. The Juniors captured this event. A poster contest was another week-long activity. Classes turned in posters bearing spirit-boosting theme. Student Council members dis- played the posters throughout MHS’s halls. The Junior class turned in the most artwork. Tuesday of “Spirit Week was “T-shirt and Sock Day. A few stu- dents and faculty put on their favorite t-shirts and rolled up their jeans or removed their shoes to display their crazy footwear. Wednesday was the traditional race day with trike race, the tug-’o'- war and, something new this year, the water ride. The trike race was disqualified because most of the tricycles failed to withstand their loads. The class of '76 emerged victorious from the tug-’o’-war. They defeated each class, losing only to the faculty. Each class designated five members to participate in the water ride. The “lucky rider was required to don a football helmet rigged with a fruit-juice can. The other four members attempted to pour water in the can as their rider pedalled past their ladders on a bike. Damp victors of the event were the faculty followed by slightly soggy seniors, fresh- men, juniors and sophomores. The cheerleaders’ recipe for an “Irish Stew highlighted the Thurs- day pep assembly. Results of voting during the noon hours for the ugli- est student contest was announced. Senior Peggy Dennis enjoyed the honor. 1 Busy Friday ends hectic five days After school, piles of wood were depos- ited near the parking lot by each class for the Friday night bon-fire. Sophomore and senior classes tied within the last seconds of the contest. Second place was captured by the class of '79, with the juniors placing third. The local fire department requested that part of the wood be removed since the large quantity posed a fire hazard. Friday was the traditional Red and White Day. School was dismissed at 2:30 for the parade, which featured seven floats. The cheerleaders led the snake dance from a downtown parking lot to the school for the lighting of the bonfire. Cin- die Sharkey was crowned as Homecoming queen during the halftime festivities. The evening ended with a disappointing defeat to arch-rival. Bishop McNamara, 20-18. Rather than have the Homecoming dance after the Friday game in the high school gym. Student Council decided to alter tradition. The Cecil Rhodes Band played for the three-hour dance in the Jr. High gym on Saturday night. 12 .'V « FAR LEFT: Cheerleaders and fans get in the last of their spirit at the bonfire before the game.

Third place went to the seniors with the theme “Play on the Irish ’ followed by the sophomores who used the theme “The Redskin Tea Party.” UPPER LEFT: Co-op’s entry in the parade used “Uncle Sam is on Our Side as its theme.

In freezing temperatures, dresses swaying in the wind, the Homecoming court stepped onto the field. The announcement finally came: Cindie Sharkey was selected as the 1975 Homecoming queen! The coronation was the highlight of Spirit Week. Because of the large turnout of girls going out for Homecoming attendants, one primary election, in which five girls were selected, took place prior to the final election. Due to a balloting error, seniors had to vote twice for five candidates for Homecoming queen. The outcome of the elections showed that Cheri Young, Lindi Harrison, and Cindy Nickles were selected as underclassmen attendants and Kathy Donahue, Dawn Finch, Jill Kleinert, Dianna Vickery and queen Cindie Sharkey were selected as senior candidates. 16 UPPER LEFT: Cindie Sharkey was crowned as 1 975 Homecoming queen by last year's queen Jeanine Munyon.

LOWER LEFT: Kathy Alvey bundles up one of the children that participated in the Child Care class' playschool. Faces — young, old, happy, sad, angry, silly scared, worried. All express something — the strain of athletic competition, one’s feelings for another person, fun times and tense moments. They tell what’s happening in the busy world around. The dictionary defines expression as “a form, pose, phrase, token, or the like which manifests a thought, feeling, or quality: especially, a signif- icant word or phrase.” The feeling of cold seems to urge Chuck Klas- sen and Penny Marrs to bundle up in order to stay warm. Thoughts of what happened at the St. Joe game appear to be deep in the mind of sopho- more Ira Jefferson. Quality is expected from all athletes and coaches. Keith Law, Dave Sikma, and Fred Bell were no exception as they looked for it in their players. These are just a few of the faces that can be seen around Momence High. 19 Wide variety of plays offered by Thespians Three different plays provided a wide variety of entertainment as the dramas ranged from extensive kidnapping of animals to simple comedy. The unusual comedy characters of Horace and Maynard appeared in “Our Miss Brooks and “Dora the Dishwater. Although they were written into the scripts, they provided the audiences with unexpected laughs. “Winnie-the-Pooh rounded out the production. Our Miss Brooks was about an average high school teacher and her students trying to put on a play. Complications arose when Rhonda Allen, the little rich girl, who always got what she wanted, didn’t get the part she tried out for. This created havoc throughout the entire play. Miss Brooks, doing everything from directing to plumbing, had her hands full, but in the end the problems seemed to work them- selves out. Winnie-the-Pooh captivated the young crowds from Range and Je’Neir elem- entries, besides the young-at-heart. It centered in the forest and dealt with a bossy Kongo who wanted to clean everything up. “Dora the Beautiful Dishwasher, or The Heroine Who Cleaned Up” also fea- tured many vaudeville acts, singers, magicians and comedians. The play was the usual one-act melodrama. The villain tried to cause problems with the heroine and the hero was called on to solve all the mess. In the end all the good people were left with everything they ever wanted out of life. UPPER RIGHT: John Depoister, playing the part of a stage manager in “Our Miss Brooks, aims the spotlight.

All through the week of April 26-30 the chance was given to let it “all hang out with a wide array of dress-up days, contests and an assembly about fads through the years. Classes all competed against each other, faculty included, for the Spring Follies Spirit Plaque. Starting off the week, teddy bears and lollipops made their way to school for “Kid's Day. Students wore the clothes of small children with bows in their hair while cuddling up to their favorite stuffed animals. Monday also started the week long gum chain and baseball card con- tests. Old McDonald would have felt very much at home Tuesday with “Farmer Day the theme. Bibs and flannel shirts were pretty popular that day. Rolling right along. Race Day struck midweek. Roller skating and tan- dem races, an obstacle course and balloon hopping weren’t enough to catch the eyes of many students, for they seemed to be busy flying fris- bees and playing flag football. Fads were presented live on stage by the Student Council and vol- unteers. Dances, such as the tango, the pony and the bump, plus various gimmicks, ranging from Elvis Presley to pogo sticks, were included. A baby bottle chug-a-lug and goldfish swallowing contests were also fea- tured. Finally, on Friday students and teachers put everything together by dressing up in fads throughout the years. The week long contests ended also. Seniors won the grand prize totalling 20 points. They were followed by the sophomores and juniors with 1 5 and 1 4 points respectively. The fac- ulty, besides their great effort, finished last. LOWER RIGHT: Better late than never most be Miss Basine's motto os she takes her sweet time in the roller skat- ing race.

It was the third consecutive year the prom had been away from the school. The coronation took place at 9:30 and the court consisted of King Larry DePatis and Queen Connie Bukowski. Attendants were: Tony Lewis, Cindie Sharkey, Randy McGill, and Vernacyn Johnson. Jeff Anderson and Margaret Baxter were the junior attendants. Approximately 240 people attended the prom and “Thoughts pro- vided the entertainment. While waiting in line to get pictures taken, many students passed the time by playing pin ball, foosball, and pool. 26 UPPER LEFT: Connie Bukowski and Lorry DePatis reigned as the 1976 Prom Queen ond King.

Different atmosphere created for 240 who attend Prom at Balmoral Woods Valedictorian and salutatorian receive appointments to Air Force 1976 graduation ceremonies were conducted June 1, exactly 100 years after Momence High School’s first graduating class. The first class graduated on June 1, 1 877 with eight members. Graduation ceremonies were scheduled for the football field, but were once again in the Junior High gym because of cold weather. The welcome speech was given by class president Dawn Finch and was followed by Larry DePatis’s salutatorian address. Peggy Dennis was valedictorian for the class of '76. Ray Schenk presented Peggy and Larry with Air Force Awards. Both left for the Air Force Academy in June. Peggy will be among the very first girls to attend the academy, as 1976 is the first year girls have been allowed to enter. Edmund Soucie presented the American Legion Awards to Randy McGill and Dawn Finch. The American Legion Auxiliary Award was presented to Peggy Dennis by Mrs. Alice Blanke. Tim Cherry was the recipient of the Mark Schenk Athlete-Schol- arship. Jamyce Curtis sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing, and Kirby Warne sang “Sandcastles,” a song he wrote. Baccalaureate exercises were conducted Sunday, May 30. The Rev. Ray Ashmun was the speaker. Shari Blakeney and Devonne Delk sang solo selections. 30 i r UPPER LEFT: Representing the U.S. Air Force Academy, Lt. Col. (ret.)

The trio of captain Peggy Dennis, Lenore Ells- worth and Vera Dam defeated Sheldon 170-90 in the opening round in January. Against Mac, the Redskins ran into a trouble that had worked in their favor the year before. Schools submit a series of questions to the sponsor, Kankakee Community College, to be used during the contest. As luck would have it the Irish had many of the questions they had sent in. A total of 1 7 area schools entered the year-long tournament. Mrs. Catherine Strassenburg and Mr. Gene Kruse served as the advisors. Buddy Munyon was the alternate. 34 Moli and Lita exchange ideas What would it be like to live in a foreign coun- try for up to six months with strangers who speak an odd language? This was what Martha (Mali) Alfano and Carmelita Nobre experienced when they stayed in Momence as foreign exchange students during the school year. Mali came from Mexico in August and stayed with the Gordon Knowles family until just before Christmas. While here, she got to see her first snowfall. She also saw several concerts in Chi- cago during her stay. Mali served as business manager for the RAPPER while at MHS. Carmelita Nobre of Fortaleza, Brazil lived with the family of sophomore Jackie Hibbs. Lita took a full load of subjects including English IV CP, physics. Chemistry II, Algebra II, PE and two study halls. Lita also went to Chicago and got to see the sights such as the John Hancock Building and the Sears Tower. Both girls were honored at a tea given by Stu- dent Council early in the fall and were made honorary Council members.

Now, the girls are developing programs that have come a long way in such a short time. The Squaws of MHS are no exception. The program started for the 1975-76 year was very suc- cessful in the five sports. The bas- ketball team finished undefeated and won all honors offered by the KVC. The bowlers also finished 16th in the state, the highest finish of any Redskin team ever in any sport. The boys were not to be outdone either as all sports were competi- tive. A school record 15 straight wins was established in basketball. Brett Whisker, shown on the opposite page, reflects the agony of defeat at St. Joe-Westchester. 37 Cheerleading not always glamorous Six girls with six very different minds must pick an outfit they all agree on. Sounds impossible, right? Well this is just one of the many problems involved in being a cheerleader. There are also twice weekly practices, almost empty fan buses, plus inju- ries and illnesses to cope with. So, along with the glory and pride comes the disadvantages. The cheerleaders work hard before they’re ready for the initial game of the season. Some attend camp during the summer months. Seven of the girls went to Eastern Illinois University for a week of rigorous training and practice. They also have prac- tice on the front lawn of MHS in the dark till they perfect a single cheer or motion. But the rewards come when she sees the adults cheering alongside the students or a young child imitating her every move. For the first time in a long while, school spirit started to show its face. Students began participating in pep rallies, poster contests, sign ups for victory and other events. “This year the fans have been great!! We have a group of followers that sure do make alot of noise. I think it’s because of how great our teams were doing and also winning the KVC tour- nament. Cheerleading has become much more enjoyable, since we finally had a crowd that cheered with us, stated Dianna Vickery. The band even got in the spirit by taking their own bus to the McNamara game and outplaying the Irish band. Rhonda Clark summed it all up by saying, “It makes the cheerleaders feel good. 38 UPPER LEFT: Fresh-Soph cheerleoders for 1975- 76 were: Andrea Blanchette, Ann Dionne, Debbie Soindon, Liz Trobaugh, Rhonda Clark and Paula Thyfoult.

LOWER LEFT: Barb Reising, Jamyce Curtis and Cindie Sharkey, members of the varsity squad, prepare the play- ers' runthrough for the big game against the Figh- tin' Irish of McNamara. 39 Softbollers upset Irish, finish 3-5 “Looking at the girl’s P.E. program from elementary through high school, one sees that girls do not get proper instruction and experi- ence in the game of 1 2 inch fast-pitch softball. But it was the first year for softball. Volleyball improved substantially in its second year and hopefully softball can do the same,” said Coach Judy Basine concern- ing the girl’s softball program. Although they didn't have a winning season, the girls did one thing no other team did. They beat the Irish of Bishop McNamara — their rival enemies. The greatest downfall for the team was they lacked the basic funda- mentals of softball. This was the first time many of the girls played reg- ulation softball and it was new to them. Looking at individual achievements, three girls stood out among the rest. For batting and fielding, Marsha St. Peter proved herself well. Camille Douglas was the speed racer for the team. And last but not least Deena Kincaid was noted for her pitching and substantial num- ber of strikeouts.

In both the Kankakee Valley Conference and Grant Park Invitational tournaments the golfers placed sec- ond and captured a fourth in the District. The golfers set the 1 8 hole team school record in the KVC and broke it again in the GPI with a 331 total. Finishing with a 333 in District the ’Skin linksmen missed qualify- ing for sectional by four strokes. Regular season matches were highlighted by another record performance as the linksmen tied the 9 hole team score with a 156 against Beecher at Minne Monesse. Many of the matches were Skin runaways while three out of the six ’Skin losses were decided by two or less strokes. The team was led by juniors Jim Billadeau, Mickey Porter, Matt Dionne and Reese Marrs, along with David Sanders, Mike Keller and the only senior Dave Plein. Freshman Paul Bukowski is a promising future prospect.

Inexperience was the major setback for the junior dominated ball club. With all the returning lettermen, we're looking forward to a good season next year, stated head coach Jack Cherry. Our defense held us in quite often but our ground game was our strong point. Leading the land attack was senior halfback Tim Cherry and fullback Jon Simpson. Both averaged over five yards per carry. Post-season honors were earned by many members of the Redskin squad. Tim Cherry and Jay Cherry were nominated to the All-Area team. Tim was also a member of the little all-state team. 44 Redskins miss IHSA state playoffs, lose first KVC title in five years UPPER LEFT: Punter Don Anstrom escapes a St. Joe tackier.

State s best pressbox dedicated in October New dimensions were added for the convenience of Momence fans with the construction of the Frank Simpson Mem- orial Building. The building, which was built mostly by volunteer labor, is valued at over $40,000. Indoor seats, tempored glass, a plumbing system, concession stands, and indoor carpeting are among the many luxuries which make the building one of the best in the state among high schools. Future improvements for the football field include a new light- ing system and replacement of the out-dated bleachers. Receiving all conference honors for the Redskins were: line- backer Brett Whiskers; Ira Jefferson, tackle; Scott Warren, guard; Tim and Jay Cherry; Jon Simpson, fullback; and Don Yanowski, tackle. A special mention was awarded to Tom Ross and honorable mention went to Jim Reynolds, Jeff Anderson, Kevin Blanchette, Mike Vickery and Roger West. 46 MHS VARSITY FOOTBALL OPP. 24 Hoopeston 0 44 Attica, IN 0 0 St. Joe-Westchester 22 20 Herscher 7 64 St. Anne 6 46 Peotone 3 18 Bishop McNamara 20 16 Clifton Central 0 18 Watseka •KVC 4-1 Over-all 7-2 14 47 TOP: Chuck Bush (54) and Brad Siebert (61) par- ticipate in a pile-up during their game with St. Joe-Westchester.

Posting a 2-7 record, the worst in recent school history, the junior Skins finished 1-4 in the KVC. We were playing a lot of freshmen, while other squads were domi- nated by sophomores,’’ said coach John Lusk, “although our players tried hard, lack of experience hurt.” While scoring a mere 86 points and reg- istering four offensive shutouts, the defense gave up 1 63 points in nine games. Highlighting the season was a 28-16 win over Hoopeston after being down 16- 0. Coach Lusk also felt the last game with Watseka, a 20-18 loss, “was one of our better games.” 48 i� b: Young Skins finish 4-0-1 Desire, hustle, potent offensive and stingy defensive units is the combination needed for an undefeated team, and that's just what the 1975 freshman foot- ball squad had. Finishing the season at 4-0-1, the only blemish on an otherwise perfect season was a 6-6 tie with Bishop McNamara giv- ing both teams a share of the KVC title. Passing was a key to the 15.6 offensive scoring average that totaled 78 points on the season. Defensively the young Skins held their opponents to 1 2 total points and three shutouts. Many of the freshman players played on the Frosh-Soph team as well.

Even though they didn’t place in the KVC tournament, the girl’s shared a second place with several schools in the area conference standings. Miss Mary Tustison, head coach of the volleyball team, said the biggest downfall of the team was the inconsistency in which they played. ‘l hope to improve our game consistency next year ’ said Coach Tustison, ‘‘and then I think we will be a pretty tough team.” Leading the ‘A” team in scoring for the season was Marsha St. Peter with 53 points. Marsha, along with Beverly Perry, led the Redskin spiking attack. Usually a bump, set or spike is U6ed to get more control and power from the ball. But, sometimes one or two hits are employed at the net to catch the opposing team offguard. Heading the team at net play was Toni Blanchette. She was often known to throw other teams with her digs and dinks. Jane Jensen also was good at the net, besides being one of the most aggressive players. Marilyn Romadka and Terri Clark were the varsity captains and aided the team at the net and backcourt play. ‘‘We had a very slow start, but as the season progressed so did we,” said Miss Kathy Orban, coach of the “B” team. Miss Orban said that overall she was happy with the season but hopes to work more on the basic fundamentals for next year. One of the most aggressive players for the junior varsity squad was Ann Perry. She was the top scorer and set a record by serving 20 points straight in one game. 51 Bowlers win first in District Meet I think the team did extremely well this year. They finished in the top half of the state. The only disappointment was not winning the KVC, said Coach Kathy Orban concerning the girl’s bowling team. The girls entered three different tournaments this year doing well in all. In the KVC a third was taken. They missed the final round by just a few pins. A first place was taken in the District which enabled them to go to the State Tournament in Peoria. Lucking out because of two ineligible teams, the girls qualified for the second round of competition and managed to bowl in the quarter finals of the tournament and placed 16th out of 32 schools. Tammy DeYoung bowled a 203 and was ranked the seventh top bowler in the tournament. The overall best bowler of the season was Deena Kincaid. She had the highest average until Tammy DeYoung joined the bowling team. 52 MHS BOWLING “A” OPP. 1356 Beecher 1091 1426 Peotone 1340 1387 Central 1427 1377 Herscher 1288 MHS KVC Tournament — Third District — First State — Sixteenth Over-all 3-1 BOWLING “B” OPP. 1200 Beecher 1213 1348 Peotone 1014 1300 Central 1254 1211 Herscher 1107 Over-all 3-1 UPPER LEFT: Cindy Nickles meditates on her gome.

The B team compiled a 4-2 mark for the year, while the A team, completely dominating all the KVC schools, finished with an 11-0 record. Miss Mary Tustison, coach of the B team said overall she was happy with her team. “We improved a lot since last year but our basic skills still need a lot of work. Looking at statistics for the “B“ team, Peggy Dennis was high point person with 41. Karen Clark and Cathy Hartman were the top rebounders for the season. “I was very happy with the season this year,” said Miss Kathy Orban, the head coach. “What can you say about a team that goes undefeated? Only next year I hope to have more games against bigger schools and be just as tough. Camille Douglas led the “A team in scoring totaling 1 19 points. Right behind her was Beverly Perry with 11 2. In the rebound department, Rhonda West was top gal, grabbing 1 15 rebounds for the season. Perry was jumping right behind her and pulled down 111. As a whole, the team shot 33% from the field and 37% from the free throw line. They averaged 50 points a game, outscoring their opponents two to one.

One of the main goals of the basketball team this year was to knock off Bishop McNamara three times to gain revenge for the defeats the Irish handed Momence the year before. In the first two meetings between the arch-rivals the ‘Skins seemed like their goal was almost set. Momence had snagged first place consolation in the Kankakee Holiday Tournament and in the second battle won the right to share a piece of the confer- ence with Mac. Finally the stage was set in the finals of the Regional Tournament at McNamara. The Redskins couldn’t make it three in a row and Bishop won all the marbles. “We could've won the Sectional, it wasn’t that tough, stated disappointed Redskin coach Keith Law after the letdown. 56 Skins compile 15 straight wins but can t put it together in Regionals Over the year, William Campbell led all scorers with 520 points. Hughley Blanton finished second with 431 points and the highest average, 19.6. Blanton also pulled in 278 rebounds to lead the 'Skins, with Perry Holliday next in line with 232. Campbell also led the team in turnovers with 1 18 and Tommy Ross threw away 101. In post-season honors, Campbell and Blanton received honorable mentions in the CHICAGO TRIBUNE'S All-State team. Blanton was also named to the first team in the All- Area and All-Conference teams with Campbell making second team All-Area and first team all-conference. Perry Holliday was named on the second team all-conference. During the course of the year, two records, a fifteen game winning streak and a 5-2 record against class AA schools, were set by the basketball squad. 57 Skins gather up 21 seasonal wins VARSITY BASKETBALL MHS OPP. 60 Gilman 46 52 Manteno OT 54 48 St. Anne 54 65 Beecher 51 49 Crescent Iroquois 53 62 Grant Park 54 44 KANKAKEE CHRISTMAS TOURNEY NAPERVILLE CENTRAL 46 77 ARGO 76 80 JOLIET EAST 68 75 BISHOP MCNAMARA 40 74 Forrest 71 87 Braidwood 73 68 Peotone 62 66 Clifton Central 44 73 Grant Park 71 63 Herscher 53 76 KVC TOURNEY AT HERSCHER PEOTONE 48 75 ST.

Bev Perry was the only one from Momence to receive a first at the KVC meet. Bev’s first place win came in the long jump. Bev also placed in the 220 yard dash with a second. The 440 relay team, composed of Andrea Blanchette, Gloria Slaughter, Camille Douglas and Bev Perry, also received a second. Other medal winners were Marsha St. Peter with a third in the shotput and Camille Douglas, who placed fourth in the long jump. Bev was also the only one to place in the district meet in Oswego.

Placing and winning a medal even more so, but setting two State records and tying for fourth in team points sound preposterous. But, impossible as it may seem, this was the case at Eastern Illinois Univer- sity in the Class A division of the State Track and Field meet at O'Brien field. Breaking the first record was senior Perry Holliday in the 440 with a light- ning time of 48.02 seconds defeating the defending champion, Mark Clay- pool of Kaneland. Perry’s time was the fourth best in State history and beat the Class AA winning time. The second record was set by the mile relay team of Mike Vickery, Reid Laneville, Hughley Blanton and Holliday with a time of 3:23.56. The 880 relay team, Mike Ringo, Tim Cherry, Frank Graves and Blanton, was the only other Redskin team to place, taking a fourth. Mainly a young track team, the loss of Holliday and Blanton will be a severe loss to the team, but many new hopes are still burning. Other strong points during the season was the cracking of the five minute mile by junior David Sanders; Don Yanowsky and Ira Jefferson scored well in the weight events, the latter qualifying for the State meet in the shot put; and Tom Ross, who led the All-Area honor roll in the long jump until he suf- fered a leg injury which shortened his season.

As freshmen they started right in with the selling of magazine subscriptions as their fund raising project. In relations to Homecom- ing they placed last. Class officers were Kim Chamberlain, president, Kathy Stedman, vice- president, Karen Young, secretary, and Tim Cherry treasurer. “Spirit of 76 played a major part in the enthusiasm of seniors as sophomores. They not only got fired up to tie for the Spirit Pla- que but also showed their uniqueness by selecting a “Spirit of 76 ring style. Leading the class on were officers: Dianna Vickery, president; Lynn Clavo, vice-president, Tanya Douglas, secretary, and Garry Hunte as trea- surer. The Best Is Yet to Come was the theme for the prom chosen by the junior class. Get- ting the prom organized was Tim Cherry, president, Lynn Calvo, vice-president, Connie Bukowski, secretary, and Cindy Sharkey, treasurer, along with various other commit- tees. Now as seniors they are the 100th class to graduate from Momence High School. Also they’re the first class to be able to graduate early, although no one took advantage of the opportunity.

In the overall Spirit Week competition, the juniors placed second. Cindy Nickles was elected to be the junior Homecoming attendant. This year’s junior class voted to have the annual prom at Balmoral Woods Inn, in Crete, instead of in Kankakee. Junior Kevin Blanchette kept busy with drama competi- tions. Kevin and senior Cindie Sharkey participated in dra- matic duet acting with a scene from CASABLANCA. They received a second at the district level which earned them the right to go to the sectional.

Because of this rul- ing, they were to be called ninth graders and be included in the junior high school. Yet many of the subjects and activities they participated in were sponsored by the high school, who considered these students as freshmen. Even though they were a little mixed up as to what they really were these kids had many advan- tages. They could ride the fan bus for both schools and were included in activities sponsored by each. One of the activities the class did was going to see the play ‘1776’ at the University of Illinois. To raise money for the $5 tickets, these ambitious stu- dents, with the help of the English teachers, sold 2,800 candy bars. LOWER RIGHT: Tyler Tedford wos the lead man for his tug-of-war team.

Earning approximately seven thousand dollars over the year, the publications class was forced to finance the entire yearbook and newspaper. Highlighting the year was the second annual Publica- tions Banquet which took place at the Eagle Island Supper Club in May. Winning the Outstanding Journalist Award were senior newspaper editor. Dawn Finch, and 1977 yearbook edi- tor, Jackie Sue Tedford. A trip to Purdue University to see the Boilermakers play football was one of the activities in which the staffers engaged over the year. The staff was unique in more ways than one. Besides having Mali Alfano, a foreign exchange student from Mexico, on the staff, they also hold the record for candy consumption in one year. Many times during the course of the year, it seemed doubtful if the MONESSE would ever be completed, but as long as the class worked and root beer barrels were around the yearbook got done. 117 Co-op members host businessmen dinner One purpose of the Co-op program is to give students an opportu- nity to learn what is expected of them on a job and to better prepare themselves for different working conditions. Working in the morning and attending school in the afternoon is one of the new programs tried by Co-op. On April 7, at Eagle Island Co-op, students hosted a banquet to which they invite their employers, to show their appreciation to them for providing them with a job and helping them to learn responsibility. Also invited to the banquet were the students' parents, school board members and the administration.
