It’s someone with whom you share your dearest possessions. A friend is someone who will share your dearest dreams with you . . . and remembers the special occasions in your life. A friend will gently tell you your faults . . . and will like you just as much in spite of them. All of which leaves no doubt . . . It’s good to have a friend! Some friends are made by nature, some by con- tract, some by interest, and some by souls. Taylor 7 Personnel Working Together Mr. Lewis, Superintendent; Mr. Maroon, High School Principal; and the school board work together to make our school better for us. Their main goals are unifying the community and the schools in the Unit 3 District and making our schools the best possible. LEFT: Mr. Lyman Lewis. RIGHT: Mr. James Maroon.

Highly Appreciated Who would keep all the records and books up to date, answer the phone plus do other endless jobs if we didn’t have secretaries? Mrs. Baker, High School Secretary; Mrs. Greeson, Administrative Secretary; Mrs. Dulin, Part-time Administrative Secretary; keep our school running smoothly and effi- ciently. Without these three ladies our school couldn’t function properly. TOP: Mrs. Greeson, Administrative Secretary. LEFT: Mrs. Baker, High School Secretary. ABOVE: Mrs. Dulin, Part-time Administrative Secretary. 1 1 our We Need You Think what would happen if we didn’t have our janitors and cooks! If it weren’t for the cooks, the school would be quite noisy with stomachs growling all afternoon. We owe it to the cooks for the peace and quiet we receive after lunch. The janitors really come in handy, especially when you pull your locker handle off and you need to get into your locker for that overdue library book. We couldn’t survive throughout the day without the cooks and janitors. 12 You Are Great If we didn’t have our bus drivers, what would we do? Wouldn’t all of you country students enjoy the five mile walk to and from school everyday! How about the pep club, wouldn’t you like to walk to the away games? Thanks to the bus drivers, walking is obsolete. BOTTOM: Our great bus drivers. TOP: Maintenance Mr. Romack and Mr. Grecson. Beneficial- Serviceable- Profitable- Neoga High is blessed with a great faculty to help students through these hard school days. This school year, N.H.S. began with a mini-course program to better educate the student body in an area of their choice and help them take another step forward to careers they desire. Without the out- standing faculty and all extra hours of hard work donated, Neoga’s curriculum wouldn’t be fulfilling students’ needs as it now is. It’s a proven fact, that ambitious teachers can make a curriculum better for everyone concerned. '72-73 Faculty MR. G.

Not only did the students learn but so did the student teachers. With this in common, the students and student teachers became good friends. It was a sad day when the student teachers left. In the fall quarter, Mr. Whitlatch taught physical ed, Mrs. Carey taught American problems, Mr. Fore- man taught industrial arts, and Mr. Benscotcr taught U.S. history. In the winter quarter, Mr. Greene taught industrial arts, Miss Henson and Mr. Johnson taught science, Mr. Porter taught math, Mr. Schwerman taught history, and Mr. Wooley taught math. In the spring quarter, Mr. St. Peter and Mr. Nyckel taught science, Mr. Brewster and Mr. Hall taught math, Mr. Gallo taught physical ed, Mr. Tucker taught industrial arts, Mr. Williams taught U.S. history, and Mr. Hocr- bert taught American problems.

President-Jennie Kenworthy, Vice-Presi- dent-Tony Pruemer, Secretary-Donna White, Treasurer- Gary Warner, and Student Council Representatives-Debi Hardin and Randy Cooper. To help make money for the Homecoming, they held a successful magazine sale. This goes to show that the Seniors always keep to their motto: “Onward Ever, Backward Never”.

BEVERLY MILLER - Not Pictured Captive Audience for Class Reunion June 1, 1993, a huge Boeing 707 taxies down the wide runway of the downtown Bakersfield airport in Sigel. As the door opens, out steps the only airline stewardess, Gloria Cushman, in her daring new uni- form: a bikini, accented with white wings. Following closely behind are Gene Fearday, being himself as usual, and Paul Cook, a retired playboy millonaire gasping for air as he tries to keep up. Not too far behind are Stan Mchl, Tony Pruemer, and Jerry St. John, eccentric millionaires. Last but not least, is Don Woodard, the well known world traveler. Ed Walk, mayor of industrious Sigel, athletically jogs out to the landing field surrounded by his harem of secretaries. In lead is his private secretary Donna Walk, followed by his efficient secretaries Deb Baker, Jennie Ken- worthy, Beverly Miller, and Karen Phillips. For special legal matters he is accompanied by Donna Fig- gins and Teri Mayhall. Steve Hoelscher, a grandfather at 38, is watching joyfully as they pass. Getting close- up shots and interviews is Delbert Williams, the T.V. and Radio technician, as Brenda Babbs and Krista Bushur are fighting to beat him, each to get a story for her own paper. Everyone heads to the world famous Playboy Night Club, owned by Gary Sparling, close friend of Hugh Heffiner. As they step through the door they sec Rick Evans trying to sell his hand made pencils, and Jean Hoene peddling afghans. Sitting at one of the tables is John Baker, who is successful at every- thing, just managing to foreclose on Don Kaufman’s pig farm, and Steve Claxon’s sheep herd. Standing beside him are his accountants Susan Baker, Kathy Greuel, and Marilyn Romack. On stage arc Randy Cooper, Joe Namath’s stand in on Friday and Saturday nights, and Janet Veech, a successful sex symbol, posing on a couch borrowed from John Stewart, psychiatrist. Between acts, Alice Sudkamp, owner of Reabon’s Restaurant, swings onto the center of the stage advertising her fast carry-out-service. Sitting on the edge of his front row scat is Gary Cameron, drooling as he yells, “Onward Ever, Backward Never”. Suddenly the stage designed exclusively by the great architectural drafter, Ron Kastl, collapses. From the back of the room rushes Susan Strohl, medical technician; Debi Hardin, dental associate; and Ann Schabbing, physical therapist. Meanwhile undisturbed, sits Dave Mehl staring at Ruth Livingston, a dietician, who is talking to Jim Warfel. He now has control of all liquor licenses in the state of Illinois. Behind the bar hangs a painting created by the famous artist Nancy Fulk, who was first inspired by her art teacher, Judy Fowler. Loud protests come from outside as Pope Bill Hayes I, leads Pam Alumbaugh, Linda Himes, Nancy Mettendorf, Connie Stoddcn, Donna White, and Kathy Willenborg, married women of the community. They are presently protesting the noise produced by an old man, Tom Huffman, who has just been thrown out of the club. On the spot arrive Sigel’s faithful policemen, who in the process of fulfilling their duty arresting the protestors and raiding the club, run over Randy Potter. On their way to the penitentiary, a quick stop is made to investigate a disturbance. After further investigation, it is found that a teacher’s meet- ing of Linda Bushur and Donna Beals, representing Child Care; Pam Baker, elementary education; Cindy Bingaman, special education; and Pat Patrick, a his- tory teacher, was getting out of hand, and all are escorted to the pen. Once at the pen it is found that Gary Warner is serving his last year of a sentence for swindling class dues. Across the cell from him are Steve Brady and Dan Stenger, making eyes at Linda Bishop, Kathy Tucker, and Charlene Van Scyoc in the next cell. This ends the day where the class of 1973, have their re- union in the penitentiary. 32 Underclassmen 1972-73 Success for Juniors This year has been, for the juniors, one filled with fun, laughter, and the joy of working together. At their first class meeting, they elected class officers. As their new president, they elected Gale Starwalt; vice-president, Willie Rivera; secretary, Tom Janes; treasurer, Cheryl Jackson; and student council members, Chris Gibson and Kim Bushur. For a perfect beginning to the year, the juniors finally received their class rings. As the year went on, they worked on such money-making projects as selling maga- zines, having a work day, and selling candy at the basket- ball games. And then, of course, there was the prom to plan for. With all these activities, the juniors and their sponsors, Miss Andres and Mr. Zimmer, have been kept busy. But even though the juniors have been kept busy, they have had lots of fun this year.

Big Years to Go Sophomores saw their second year of High School pass by with hints of growing up and getting older. A driver’s license, class rings, and a score of natural knowledge and privileges all constitute the year of a “sopho- more”. But as Neoga sophomores you will have been but once. So remember it as a year of learning, growth, and most of all remembering.

The Freshmen blasted off with a very successful bake sale. With the assistance of Mrs. McTeer and Mr. Leathers, the class chose Susan Kleinik, President; Joannie Albin, Vice-President; Don Strohl, Secretary; and Clarice Jansen and Keith Bushur as Student Council Representatives; with Diana Sanderson as Treasurer. The Freshmen’s first major task was to begin slaving away on Homecoming Float and came through with flying colors-a third place was the reward. Freshmen plan to have bake sales and pop bottle drives as money making projects coming up.

This year’s homecoming dance was a great success despite the fact that the band which played was not the original band expected. Of course the added fact that the silver shoe is now returned to the NHS trophy case helped the dance’s success. Crowned 72 King and Queen were Paul Cook and Susan Strohl. The d a nee was well attended which made the senior class feel their cooperating efforts were well worthwhile.

This year for the first time the play was open to all the students instead of the traditional Junior Class and Senior Class Plays. In order for the play to come off it took a lot of determination and time, a touch of wit and humor, barrels of restraint and patience, and a ton of feeling. But after it was all over everybody will remember the fun he had and the friends he made. 58 Cast Mr. Morrison Clarice Morrison Roger Morrison Chris Morrison Arthur Hayes Phyllis Hayes Caroline Hayes Mrs. Harkness J oseph Blake Anna Blake Judy Blake Mrs. Carson Mrs. McAllister Bill McAllister Charlie Denton Grace Denton Mac Irma Neighbor Ginny Delbert Williams Cindy Bingaman Rick Evans Lylah Fallert Ron Kastl Jennie Kenworthy Shelia Walk Sally Brubaker John Stewart Karen Harke Linda Bushur Donna Bahney Debi Hardin Gary Warner Randy Cooper Teri Mayhall Gary Sparling Pam Baker Kathy Greuel Leanne Greuel 59 Office Helpers Office Helpers do a var- iety of things to help the school and office run effi- ciently.

Girls who worked in the office this year were Deb- bie Wilkinson, Jennie Ken- worthy, Donna Figgens, Donna Walk, Ruth Livings- ton, Sheryl Trigg, Donna White, Susan Spidle, and LuAnn Bush. A Friend in Need “Indeed, a friend is never known till a man have need.” (John Heywood, Proverbs) Student secretaries fall into this category. Needed by teachers, bogged down with too much to do, this staff helps reduce teachers’ work load. Typing, running off materials, and using the copying machine are just a few of the million and one services they perform under the guidance of Karen Walk. Teachers are glad to have such friends. « The Fast, Friendly Projectionist Crew The main concerns of our projectionist crew are to maintain a workable knowledge of the movie projector and give fast, friendly service when called upon to do so. This year’s crew to the right are, top: Steve Brady, Tom Janes, center: Gary Warner, second row: Gary Cameron, Tom Westjohn, front: David Livingston. John Baker is not shown. Mrs. Voris is the sponsor of the projectionist crew. Cooperative Work Training Program In its second year of operation, the cooperative work training pro- gram has proven to be an ever-ex- panding and popular organization. This year’s participants range alpha- betically from A to Z. They are as follows: Pam Alumbaugh, Judi Baker, Donna Beals, Steve Brady, Gary Cameron, Steve Claxon, Mar- ty Enloe, Tony Enloe, Don Hall, Peggy Hampton, Bill Hays, Jean Hoene, Don Kaufman, Wayne Lucas, Nancy Mettcndorf, Sheryl Richey, Dan Stenger, Kathy Tuck- er, and Bill Zimmerman. Mr. Biggs, who is the sponsor of this program, selects and approves the jobs for these trainees. Participants receive wages and are given two credits per year. Experience includes such things as learning to work with others efficiently and giving friend- ly service. They work at the high school cafeteria, the high school maintenance shed, restaurants, and other businesses. The students are evaluated by their employers. Field trips were taken to R. R. Donnelley and Sons in Mattoon and to Menard State Penitentiary in Chester (scenes below). Periodical tests and conferences show Mr. Biggs the amount of progress which has been made. Concerts Musical concerts were held this year with the band, mixed chorus and girls’ chorus participating. The unusual and interesting part of one concert was the chorus. The chorus sang an arrangement of songs with actions applied. Mr. Spring directed. The band also played a variety of numbers. The Neoga High School adopted a mini course schedule concept. This program, the first of its kind in the state of Illinois, is constructed to give the stu- dent a choice of many courses. Students are given the opportunity to select courses every nine weeks. This method allows the student to plan the courses when he wants and still take the required courses to grad- uate. Many schools visited the Neoga system to ob- serve our classes in action. Because we have been suc- cessful in pioneering this program, they will be able to make their transition to mini courses easier. Educa- tion is swinging to a new, workable trend: mini courses. Divergent Assemblies Enrich School Life N.H.S. had a variety of assemblies this year that were educational, but still fun. Our student council sponsored two: “The Incredible Human Mind” and “Chuck Naidl’s Facts and Fallacies about Reptiles.” “The Incredible Human Mind” demonstrated why we think the way we do; and offered a credible explana- tion of everyday behavior. “Chuck Naidl’s Facts and Fallacies about Reptiles” was just that; he brought to light interesting facets of reptiles and disproved many common day myths. Neoga High School in coopera- tion with the State of Illinois with the help of the Neoga PTA, American Legion, and the Ladies Auxil- iary sponsored Law Day at which Randy Cooper won an American Flag Kit. The Driving Demonstration was endorsed by the Country Companies Insurance and proved to be very informative. A mock audition for the concert was the basis for the Christmas pro- gram which was ended in the singing of carols. All the assemblies enabled our school to become acquainted with persons outside our school walls and provided an opportunity to share new ideas. Mediocre Season for Indians With 5-3 Record With only five returning lettermen, the Indians started off on the warpath, scalping Beecher City and Brownstown with one easy stroke, 11-0 and 13-1. But the Indians had a little harder time with St. Anthony coming from behind to win 5-2. They also found it harder going at Altamont winning in extra innings 1-0. The Indians then seemed to fall into a slump losing the next three games to T-Town 11-4, Stew- Stras. 6-4, and Windsor 4-2. The Indians came back to win their final campaign 1-0 over Cowden. :• - • —- .

Indians End Season With 14-9 Record The Indians started the year off strong winning the first two games of the season with ease. Then through out most of the rest of the season it was sort of a seesaw, winning two then losing one. The Indians downed top-seeded Vandalia in the Shelbyville tour- nament, then lost to Newton in overtime. Neoga went on to win six out of their last eight games with the final victory a double overtime win over Windsor. This victory avenged an earlier defeat and put the Indians in fourth place in the N.T.C. Indian fans another season has come to an end on a good note. With the loss of only four Varsity letter- men.

Cheerleaders Achieve Goal The NHS Cheerleaders reached their goal this year of improving the school spirit over last year’s. Helping to achieve this goal were many different factors: the Varsity attended cheerleading camp at Normal the previous summer; the stu- dent body elected a spirited J.V. Squad; we had lively assem- blies throughout the season; and for the first time, we had the help of a Mascot. No matter whether our score was ahead or behind, you could hear the NHS cheerleaders and fans loud and clear throughout every game. If they can do this, then surely our cheerleaders reached their goal.

With their work cut out for them the staff settled down to the lab- orious task of compiling the yearbook page by page. Each staff member soon found out that this required a little fore- thought in order to freeze the action be- fore the action had passed. The staff also faced the challenging, but some- times frustrating task of writing copy, selecting the most appropriate pictures, drawing and redrawing layouts in order to achieve a balanced page. Keeping tabs on the 20 staff members and over 128 assigned pages proved to be a handful for Editor Pam Baker and Advisor Mrs. McTeer. Assisting them by keeping tabs on the money and other business affairs was Business Manager Donna Walk. Although it may have been frustrat- ing at times, the 20 staff members feel that it was a fun and rewarding exper- ience to tell it like it is and to provide the students with lasting memories of their experiences at N.H.S.

They started out their year by meeting several times dur- ing the summer to select their theme, “We’re All In This Together”, and to plan events for the coming year. One of those events was starting out the year with a wiener roast for all NHS students and faculty, which proved to be a great success. Other things they did throughout the year were, ushering at the open house, having a watermelon feast, collecting money for the Eye Glass Fund, and spon- soring a Mascot, which created a new role at all home basketball games. All this proves the Student Council was on the go this year trying to establish good relationships between students and faculty at NHS.

Always one student librarian and cither Mrs. Voris or Mrs. Dole are waiting to assist on any tough jobs. Nothing is too tough for librarians. They dig until they find.

The “N” Club sold season tickets and all of their remaining cushions from past years. This was also the first year for the lettermen to have a chili supper. All proceeds from these activities went towards paying off debts from past projects, such as gifts for cheerleaders and outside baskets for the schools.

Last year they had to practice during their lunch hour. This year they have chorus during fifth period, but each quarter the members change. Be- cause of the mini-courses, some girls have to drop out while others join each quarter. This means that each quar- ter they have to start all over again. Even with this problem, the girls really got swinging for their first concert. For a change, the girls put actions to some of their numbers. The girls enjoyed doing this and are looking forward to getting ready for other concerts to be held during the year. 98 BOTTOM ROW: Melinda Van Scyoc, Mickey Spencer, Shawnna Andrews, Joannic Albin, Karen Spencer, Carla Mich- lig.

FOURTH ROW: Susan Kleinik, Susan Baker, Cindy Elder, Gale Starwalt, June Watkins, Cindy Ballinger, Jennie Ken- worthy, and Cheryl Jackson. Mixed Chorus Has High Hopes The mixed chorus started the year with the cards stacked against them—there were only eight boys and more than twice that many girls. But even with this obsta- cle to overcome, the mixed chorus has been having one of its better years. Practicing three days a week, the chorus was soon pre- paring for their first concert. Like the girls’ chorus, they put actions to some of the numbers they sang. After the second quarter, they started practicing every day for a while. After the success of the first concert, there were plans for three more concerts: the annual Christmas concert, a winter concert, and a spring concert. They also have hopes to tour other schools to sing during the last quarter. With all these plans, the mixed chorus had a busy year.
