Walking through the halls of N.H.S., I realized that we students, even though we have stood united, were divided into four distinct classes. I first noticed the seniors, working hard to reach their big goal, graduation. And now these seniors are gone forever, never to return, embarking on a new and even tougher challenge beyond our walls, their future. As I looked further, I saw the juniors and re- membered all their efforts to become upperclassmen. This priviledge carried new and unexpected responsibilities. Then the sophomores, it appears, are caught in a transition period. A period of readjustment, revealing teen-age antics and glimpses of adult responsibilities. As for the green freshmen, they've just begun to see life the way it is behind the walls at N.H.S. And yes, they too, will go through these distinct classes until one day they will be reaching for their ultimate goal. Although the students stood united, they also divided into various groups and activities. Without the students, activities and organizations couldn't survive. The administration and personnel play a big role at N.H.S. Al- though they're the minority in comparison to the number of stu- dents, their presence is felt and greatly needed. Leaving, I realized that it takes all these things to make a school as great as N.H.S. A P C A T G I E V I 7 T 8 I E S A P D A S G E 8 8 ini strati on 4 Mr. Maroon performing everyday tasks. NH.S. Welcomes New Principal The new principal at N.H.S. this year is James Maroon, replacing Mr. Ralph White, a veteran of the Neoga school system of twenty-two years. Formerly from Clay City, the athletic Mr. Maroon is an avid sports fan. His vibrant personality and youthful outlook on life help to create a feelinq of togetherness between himself and the students of N.H.S. Working with Mr. Maroon are superintendent Mr. Lewis and the Board of Education. Their job is working to achieve a sense of unity between the community and the schools in the Unit 3 district.

Librarian anging With the continuing pressures for the improvement of education, the twenty-four member faculty at N.H.S. began the year with several changes. The most apparent change seemed to be in the faculty itself. 25% of the faculty were new to N.H.S. New faces this year were those of Karen Brooks in girls Physical Education, Shelby McTeer and Pat Andres in English, George Ganley in art, Wilbert Biggs, C.W.T. Director, and Nila Bingaman, Remedial Tutor. In addition to the new faces was the work-study program, directed by Mr. Biggs. This program enabled some of the students to go to school one-half day and work under supervision one-half day. Also new to N.H.S. this year was Mrs. Bingaman, individual and group teacher. She helped students with subjects ranging anywhere from Spanish to Biology. George Ganley Art Sharon Courtney Spanish, English Ray Springs Band, Chorus Wilbert Biggs Agnes Voris C.W.T.

Math ⢠yj vjreemes oj e Teacher Student-teaching gives an opportunity to develop a practical aspect of teaching before the novices actually become full- fledged teachers. Student teachers, generally, are like new students when they first arrive-nervous and scared. As time progresses, however, they acquire the characteristics of the established teachers. But underlying all this newly found authority, they still retain their student-like qualities, for once they get back to college, they're a lowly student again. The students feel that they can identify closely with these fresh-off-campus debutants of the teacher world. Tom Delco (Tom Alexander, 3rd qtr.)

Gertrude Greeson Unit Secretary Lorraine Baker High School Secretary Absolutely Indispensable Office Helpers are old standbys at N.H.S. As in the past, they have continued their good work. Answering telephones, taking messages, and collecting attendance slips are only a few of the neccessary jobs that they perform so well. Their work has been greatly appreciated by High School Secretary Mrs. Baker, and the experience they receive in office procedure is priceless. The school is grateful to both the Office Helpers and the Secretarial Aides. Beverly Dulin Assistant Secretary Secretarial Aides Greatly Appreciated This is the third year for Secretarial Aides at N.H.S. Under the direction of Karen Walk, and much to the delight of the teachers, the Aides handle many of the time-consuming tasks that plague the teacher. They type up tests, mimeography materials, and write letters. Their work is greatly appreciated by the faculty, and the experience they gain is invaluable. Typing plays an important part. Using office machines. Attitudes also help. Debby Morgan, Karen Van Meter, Mary Bahney, Debbie Holmes, Pat Byers, Glenda Smith, Donna Figgins, Joyce Cross.

As the first quarter began, the team, 67 strong, was led by Pres. Mike Maxey, V.P. Mike Mendenhall, Secy. Cheryl Czerwonka and Treas. Pat Byers; but a series of fumbles such as grade cards and initiations kept them from scoring. The greenness seemed to be working out as the team entered the second quarter. Pres. Jerry Trigg, V.P. Mark Clay- baugh, Secy. Karla McKay, and Treas. Bekki Koons led the team for a few baskets in the form of class rings, but the score still remained in the favor of the school. A now more experienced and confident team returned for the third quarter with their leaders, Pres. Sindi Schutte, V.P. Jerry Trigg, Secy. Pat Byers and Treas. Cheryl Eastin. The hi-light of the quarter was our dazzling Jr.-Sr. Prom entitled Traces of Love . As the fourth quarter began. Pres. Pat Byers, V.P. Barb Haskett, Secy. Karla McKay and Treas. Vicki Braden started the long-awaited surge for victory. Our homecoming King and Queen, Jerry Trigg and Barb Haskett, also helped in the drive. The Homecoming, Moonlight and Mistletoe , marked the five-minute warning of the final minutes of the game. Baccalaureate tied the score; and immediately after the final winning point called Graduation Day, time ran out and the Class of '72 belonged to the pages of history with fond mem- ories to be replayed any time in the cameras of our minds. 15 Danny Arthur-F.

The diary of the Junior Class was opened yesterday inside the Hall of Memory. There was a hushed silence as the class president, Teri Mayhall, stepped up to the platform to read the summary that secre- tary, Ruth Livingston, wrote so long ago. This was a great year for us. One we shall long remember. We started off the year by selling magazines which, because of its success, gave us the incentive to go on to other things, like selling candy at basketball games, and a Junior Work Day. Of course, with all of that behind us we just had to have a class play, a prize winning float (at least to us anyway), and a beautiful prom to round everything out right. But, I am sure of one thing we'll never forget. The real reason everyone worked so hard was the right to wear the 73 class rings. As the year draws to a close, we remember all these things with happiness and sorrow but we keep our chins up and our eyes dry because we know that next year will be a great one, too. 27 Pam Alumbaugh Debra Baker John Baker Pam R.

With the help of their sponsors, Mr. Zimmer and Miss Andres, the sophomores had a busy and fun filled year. They held sock hops, had a bake sale, and ordered their class rings. Sophomores had reason to be proud of themselves. At one of the pep assemblies, they won first prize for yelling the loudest. Their prize was a piece of bubble gum for each member of the class. At their first class meeting, the sophomores elected new class officers. As their new president, they chose Renita Rennels; Vice-President, Mark Kingery; Secretary, Gale Starwalt; Treasurer, Evelyn Warner; and Student Council Members, Tom Alexander and Sheryl Deadmond.

You haven't? Well that's probably because they have been so busy rushing around joining new clubs and getting everything together. The first thing they got together was their class by electing class officers. Kevin McKerrow was chosen as president, Jeff Phillips, vice-president, Debbie Walk, secretary, Randy Rennels, treasurer, and Kim Lindley and Scott Claybaugh, student council representatives. They followed this up by slaving away on their homecoming float. Earnings were made by having bake sales and pop bottle drives.

Freshman industry in action. 45 46 Organizations Student Council Serves Students Led by President Sindi Shutte the Student Council started off the year with meetings to make plans for a Welcome Back to School bonfire to be held for the students and faculty, and to work closely with the administration to form a dress code. Assisting Sindi with her duties were Vice-President Susan Strohl, Secretary Candace Mayhall, Treasurer Kathy Greuel, representatives from classes and organizations, and advisors Mrs. Walk and Mr. Lindley. The purpose of the Student Council is to represent student opinion. In order to do this more efficiently the Student Council, with the help of Mr. Maroon, conducted rap sessions in which the student body could voice opinions on various issues. This proved to be a very effective and enlighting experiment. The Student Council continued to serve the students by selling refreshments at baseball games, providing programs for the assemblies, and posting the lunch menu. They also con- tinued the tradition of sponsoring the float competition and presenting the homecoming court at the game. The Student Council chose Song Titles for this year's float theme.

Tomahaw h Staff Covers the Year With the beginning of school came a new Toma- hawk staff hoping to improve last year's success. The energetic staff started the year out right by selling nearly $1300 in ads. Through the year, much work was required by each staff member so that the 1972 Tomahawk could meet its deadline. Keeping tabs on the most complex job, the most unpredictable yearly budget, and nearly 1000 pictures--and to have it balance out in the 1972 Tom- ahawk was the nine month job of Editor Pam Baker. Advisor to the twenty member staff was Shelby McTeer; Business Manager was Karla McKay. I've got how many pages due this deadline?

They started off by renewing the bleachers on the baseball diamond. Then a gate was built to block the passage in the corridor during basketball games. Finishing with a first prize in the homecoming float contest, the club felt rewarded for all the effort. Science Clu b I on the Move A field trip to Eastern Illinois University started off the year for the Science Club. The group with their sponsor, Mr. Howard Louthan, saw a movie on the ''Big Bend country in Texas. This film featured the plants and wildlife in that habitat. Ron Peadro was elected to the office of president. Sup- porting him in his work were Rick Evans, vice-president; Sindi Shutte, secretary-treasurer; and Tim Lewis, student council representative. Through their co-ordinated efforts with Mr. Louthan more field trips and projects were planned. The main purpose of the Science Club is to encourage students to become more interested in science. This interest may lead some students to careers in the science fields. Wouldn't it be nice to have a future Einstein in our midst? Future field trips in the Planning.

The 'N' club got off to a booming start this year beginning with the election of officers. Jerry Trigg was appointed president, Ed Walk, vice- president; and Mike Mendenhall, secretary- -treasurer. Money making activities began with the Lettermen and Cheerleaders selling donuts and coffee at varsity games. Later the club sold refreshments at the Frosh-Soph Tournament and totaled still a larger profit. When the annual Faculty-Varsity game got underway the Letter- men were there to sponsor it. 'N' Club finished up its activities by selling red and white pillows for softer seating while watching the games. With the year nearing an end the Lettermen decided to put a portion of their hard earned money to a useful purpose which was buying all the club members new letter jackets. 54 . . . in the cafeteria . . . on a field trip This year a new program has been introduced to our school which broadens the horizon of the stu- dents and gives them an opportunity to gain useful knowledge and experience which may help them in their future careers. This program is known as C.W.T., or Cooperative Work Training program. Under this, students can work at selected and approved busi- nesses or schools and receive credits accordingly. These students receive two credits for working one year and are paid according to where they work. Jobs are selected and approved by Mr. Biggs, the sponsor of this program. c.w.T.

For some of the non-Spanish students, the headline says ' Spanish Activities in Spanish. In keeping with the Spanish traditions at Christmas time, Mrs. Courtney's Spanish students made pinatas. Filled with candy, the pinatas were displayed at the All School Christmas Party. All the hard work exploded into the air as some of the teachers demolished them with one mighty swing. Then, later in the year, they decided to take advantage of The Ballet Folklorico de Mexico being presented at the Assembly Hall in Cham- pa ign-Urbana. The colorful and imaginative dancing accompanied by lively Mexican music was enjoy by all. Seniors follow tradition of singing carols and marching around the Christmas tree.

Girls7 Chorus During Lunc When on earth are we going to have girls' chorus? This was a problem which faced Mr. Lewis, Mr. Maroon, and Mr. Springs this fall. At first they decided to have band at noon and have mixed and girls' choruses 8th hour. That didn't work out at all! So they changed band to 9th period on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Mixed chorus meets on Tues- day and Thursday. But what about girls' chorus? After polling the girls to find out how badly they wanted to have girls' chorus, the mighty triumvirate decided to have girls' chorus during lunch hour. Now girls' chorus meets for the last 15 minutes of 5th period every day except Friday. Even with this limited amount of time, the girls' chorus mastered A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten in time for the Annual Christmas Concert. They also hope to perform at two more concerts this year. Seated: Sheila Walk. Bonnie Walk, Susie Figgins, Mickey Spencer, Candy Mayhall, Carla Michlig. Laura Drennan.

Our Director The Whole Crew NHSFirsts For the first time ever, a student from Neoga High School was accepted as a member of the Illinois All- State Band. Bass clarinetist Laura Drennan received this, the highest honor awarded to high school band members in Illinois. Laura had the pleasure of representing Neoga High School during the three day Illinois Music Educators Association Convention in Peoria. During these three days, she stayed in the luxurious Hotel Pere Marquette, met other young musicians from the en- tire state of Illinois, and, on the third day, partici- pated in the formal concert in the grand ballroom of the Pere Marquette. Another big first for Neoga High School was the formation of a marching band. The members of the concert band decided early in the fall that they wanted a marching band. They also decided that they could get up early on Tuesday and Thursday mornings in order to practice. What is a marching band without uniforms? And you cannot buy uniforms without money. So, after examining several money making projects, the members finally found just the right one. Weeds!! There is actually a market for the common weed! These weeds are processed and used in floral decora- tions. The project soon turned into a community affair. Dr. Swengel offered his building for the students to use. Farmers willingly let the students pick their fields free of unwanted weeds. With this type of cooperation, the marching band may have uniforms very soon.

FT A Chapter Formed For the first time ever, Neoga High School students are joining with 250,000 other students from 6,500 schools, as members of the Future Teachers of America. Future Teacher of America, a national organization open to junior and senior high students, gives these students a chance to investigate the many career opportunities in education and a chance to bring about positive change in their school and community. Led by President Cindy Bingham, Vice-President Sandy Bushur, Secretary Carla Michlig, and Treasurer Brenda Haskett, our Future Teachers of America chapter hopes to explore the following objectives: 1. Improve the selection and content of courses offered through student involvement in curriculum meetings. 2. Build better student-community and school-community relations through cooperative activities with civic and community groups. 3. Improve understandings and communications between students and teachers by providing planned opportunities for discussions. 4. Gain an understanding of a wide variety of educational programs and career opportunities by visiting schools. 5. Gain insights into college life, course requirements and career possi- bilities through a varied program of visitations to colleges and universities. 6. Provide information about colleges, teacher education programs, educational supply and demand statistics, and scholarship and financial aid information by establishing career libraries. 7. Provide a variety of educational and cultural experiences by initiating exchange programs among FTA chapters. Good luck to this new organization at NHS! Another briefing!!

It not only boosts the morale but strengthens the school spirit. Several assemblies were held not only for basketball but for baseball, too. Mr. Maroon used this time for important announcements about our team, individual players, the coach, and the game itself. Praise was given where due. Backing up our team with cheers and yells, our cheer- leaders kept us going throughout the whole time. All in all, pep assemblies were a welcome relief from the class- room doldrums.

To finance this undertaking they held a pop bottle drive and several bake sales. They brought back many imaginative cheers and ideas for pep assemblies. Mickey Mouse, Hey Let's Move, It's A Raid, and We Got The Fever were quickly learned and repeated. To make the pep assemblies more interesting, the cheerleaders put on several skits and held cheering contests besides their regular cheers. They also tried something new by having the student body Make Rain!! This year the cheerleaders assisted the Lettermen in selling coffee and doughnuts.

Having less experience and slower thinking plays a major factor with Frosh. An added lift for team was the height of Fred Swengel and Dave Duncan. Stay in there and fight you guys! Sophs finish this season with a record of 8 and 3. This is the same record they had as Freshmen. The team which is shorter in members than last year still has talent and determination in what they do. Both teams are coached by J. Lee McTeer who puts forth alot of effort with the boys.

At 7:15 on Tues- day and Thursday mornings, the marching band practiced diligently until 8:00. In order to raise money for uniforms, the entire music department gathered, bundled, and sold various weeds. These weeds were dyed and used in floral arrangements. After buying uniforms, the marching band plans to march in various parades in this area. This year five different groups performed at the Annual Christmas Concert. The girls' chorus sang the difficult A Ceremony of Carols. The junior high and high school bands performed several traditional Christ- mas songs, which included Sleigh Ride. The high school and junior high school mixed choruses sang a delightful combina- tion of new and traditional Christmas carols. On Review Practice! Practice!! Practice!!! Nobody's singing!

The play was about a family who acted as foster parents to three teenagers. The mother (Susan Strohl) continued to give the children a home even after her husband (John Baker) died of a heart attack. He must be kidding! Play rehearsal is very straining! My Turtle, My darling little turtle! Let's eat! Cast Susan Strohl . . John Baker . . . Delbert Williams Teri Mayhall . . Linda Bushur . .

Up the Down Staircase Calvin Coolidge High School is an overcrowded, under- staffed New York City school with problems that are some- times hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking. While many of the students who attend Calvin Coolidge High come from poor families, this is not a ghetto school. Sylvia Barrett is a very sensitive young teacher, unaccus- tomed to teaching in inner city schools. She cares deeply about her profession, but the chaos in the classroom proves to be almost more than she can handle. She has a wonderful sense of the absurd which is one way she hangs on to her sanity. In the end, the students respond to Sylvia Barrett's over- whelming personality and have the desire to be taught. All clear for take-off. No books are to be removed from the library . . . Miss Barrett receives more confusing instructions from the office. Hey Teach!

The first game of the season, against Mattoon, was a victory with a final score of 7 to 2. Their first game be- hind them, the Neoga Indians went on to win their next three games, against Casey, Cumberland, and Newton. Then came the break in their winning streak. They lost their next three games. There was a slight comeback for the Indians, though. In their final game of the season, against Dieterich, they won with a score of 5 to 4. This gave the Indians a record of 5 wins and 3 losses for the season. Batter up! It's a high fly ball!

The twenty-two team members this year consisted of five seniors, three juniors, seven sophomores, and seven freshmen. The high- light of the season was a fifth place finish in the National Trail Conference meet, held at St. Elmo. Because of the large number of underclassmen, the thinclads are ex- pecting bigger and better things next year. Senior Mike Curtner, tied the existing pole vault record of twelve feet at the Cumberland open May sixteenth.

Wonder what he's chasing? 117 The Music Man After listening to his fellow passengers on the Iowa- bound train bicker about the Iowa-stubborn people, super-salesman Harold Hill decided, 'I shall have to give Iowa a try.' With that he descended upon those poor Iowa folks. Right off. Hill met an old accomplice, Marcellus Wash- burn. They decided to get River City out of its serious trouble, caused by the city's first pool table, by organizing a boys' band. In 1912 River City, Iowa, population 2,212, was a nice little town. It was just full of people with wonderful hawk-eyed, Iowa-stubborn, chip-on-the-shoulder attitudes. The most stubborn of them all was Miss Marion Paroo, the town librarian. She was also the town's piano teacher. Professor Hill tried to get Marian off balance, but he couldn't. Marian had done some research and had dis- covered that Professor Hill was, in short, a fake. However, Marion had a little brother, Winthrop, who had been brooding about his father's death for tvyo years and wouldn't talk. Professor Hill got him into the boys' band, and they quickly became good friends. The change in Winthrop was nothing short of a miracle. He was happy, had fun, and began talking again. This really touched Marian. She decided that Hill was not bad at all. They became good friends, and she fell in love with him, and he with her. By this time another salesman had exposed Hill as a fake. The whole town was enraged. They set forth to find Hill and run him out of town. Good old Marcellus learned this, so he got the boys' band together and marched them into Madison gym- nasium, where Hill had been taken. As the band marched into the gym, the people stared in wonder. As they began to play, the townspeople were awed by the musical ability of the group. Professor Hill was forgiven, and wedding bells were in store for Marian and him. Lyda Rose, Oh, Lyda Rose One Grecian Urn The Music Man Till There Was You' Barney! That tuba's my Barney! Eulaile MacKecknie Shinn We did it! Marian Paroo, Winthrop, Mrs. Paroo. â71-â72 Junior Senior Prom For the first time ever the prom was taken away from the school. It was held at the Ramada Inn in Effingham.

We sym- pathize with the juniors because they will have to read the same books, make reports, answer the same questions (cor- rectly), take the same tests that we have taken. But more than this, we envy you. You have a great year ahead--one of the best years of your lives. We hope that you value your senior year as much as we did. The seniors of 1972 hope our im- pression has been a good and lasting one. Now the impression that we make will not only be felt in the classrooms; it will be felt in the world. As this year draws to a close, it means more than just the end of another semester. It means a new begin- ning and a sad, but happy ending. It means farewell to the things we've cherished most for the past twelve years. It is not easy to say good-bye to those with whom we have shared our joys and heartaches, accomplishments and disappointments. As we go our separate ways, we hope our paths will meet somewhere in the future. So it's not really good-bye, it's just so long . The happy graduate. Hurry up you guys. Want to be late for your own gradua- tion?' Don't you dare . . Straighten that tassle .. . and your collar.' Receiving that beloved diploma. I would personally like to thank all of our advertisers and boosters for their ads and subscriptions which helped to make this yearbook possible. Thanks to all of the faculty, students, administration. Mom and Dad, and the people of Neoga for their good wishes. A special thanks to the Blankenberg Photographers and Gene Hayes for their time and helpfulness. And last but not least, appreciation goes to Mrs. McTeer, Mr. Haddock, and the staff for their devotion, favors, helpful- ness, patience, courtesy, and time, because without them this yearbook wouldn't be possible. So to all of these people I say . . . THANKS Editor, 124
