Neponset High School - Zephyr Yearbook (Neponset, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1970 volume:

1 970 ZEPHYR Volume XXIII is an attempt to capture and preserve some of the activities and memories of the 1969-70 school year. Neponset High, being an integral part of the community, is directly influenced by local industry, commerce, farming, and other educational institutions. Thus, this Zephyr, is not only an outgrowth of Neponset High, but of the community as a whole. • • • We Dedicate the 1970 Zephyr to our devoted school secretary, Mrs. Eveline Lyford. Eveline, who has been with us for six years, is always friendly and helpful to everyone. With this dedication, we want to express our appreciation to her for her co-operation over the years. 2 9 ■••' v-:■ -vr 3g . T V t v v,v v' :.'% AS ’ •.

During the year, other improvements were made including installing new stage curtains, remodeling the boys locker room, paneling the administration offices, and installing clocks throughout the building.

Among these projects were a magazine sales campaign, a concession stand at football games, and a large business selling candy at noon. Throughout the year, class meetings were primarily devoted to making preparations for the prom. Jackie and Bill Eilts attended N.H.S. part of the year; however, pictures were not available of them. Mr. Nell is pointing out some accounting procedures to Steve Miller. Jon Smith, and Doug Hodgett while they arc working on practice sets. Gee! This game is exciting-so says Shannon Swearingen and Jerral Sciden during one of our basketball games at Central gym.

Al Bradley seems to be putting quite a bit of “elbow-work” towards the success of Homecoming. The Sophomores have enjoyed a very busy year. Besides having at least six subjects the first semester, they somehow found time to organize and expedite the Freshman Initiation Party as well as Homecoming Dance. The second semester found them even busier as they became involved with speech class, driver training, and class projects. As class projects, an April car wash and a May carnival were sponsored; thus ending a hectic year.

At noon time, Mary Stetson, Renee Pickering, Laurie Price, Jolcne Jacobson, Chris Kidd, and Lisa Pickering do quite a bit of talking while eating their lunches in study hall. Being newcomers to N.H.S., quite naturally the Freshmen had to be initiated much to the delight of the upperclassmen. After recovering from initiation, the class fell into the groove of things by becoming concerned about earning money; therefore two successful cake raffles were sponsored at home basketball games. Since no one likes to save all the time, the Freshmen sponsored the school Valentine’s Party. Thus, the Freshmen have survived their first year at N.H.S. and arc anticipating becoming Sophomores so they can plan the initiation for next year’s Freshmen.

This year’s Student Council was involved in many activities. Candy turtles were sold to supplement the Council’s treasury. Also the Student Council was in charge of the pop machine again this year. Several school assemblies were sponsored throughout the year by the Council. Among the assemblies were a fire prevention demonstration, a panel discussion consisting of teachers and students, an interesting talk by a Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a visit by a band and choral group from Black Hawk West. Again this year, the Council was in charge of planning and carrying out a student government day which proved to be a valuable experience to those students who participated. Thus, the Student Council had a busy, but rewarding year. In performing one of his Student Council duties, John Stabler is leading the Pledge of Allegiance to begin a Friday morning assembly. 25 F.H.A. is looking toward new horizons The theme for the FHA year was “Gone With the Wind.” The year started off by having a candy sale to raise money for Snowball. In the early spring, Chris Rollins was elected Vice-Pres. of Projects for Section 11, Nancy Rollins was selected to run for a state office, and Claris Hepner was elected to go to New York for the national convention. In April the organization went to Galesburg to the Mental Research Hospital. In May the girls closed the year by having the Senior Supper and installation of new officers. At left are the Junior and Senior F.H.A. girls with Mrs. Block, advisor. At lower left are the younger F.H.A. members consisting of the Freshman and Sophomore girls.

This project, since 1955, has been a very good source of income for the chapter, being the major money-making project as well as an educational device. As a community project the members established 2 new lawns in the village and restored 20 farrowing crates. Twelve Freshmen were presented the Greenhand Degree and 5 Sophomores were awarded the Chapter Degree. Special awards for the year were the DeKalb Achievement award which was awarded to Michael Bradley and the Star Green-hand of which Raymond Robinson was the recipient. Senior students, Brent P„ Tom B., Mike B., and Al R., are seen preparing for a field trip in the Vo. Ag. van. The establishment of a new football fence and the restoration of an auto and a truck made up of their major projects.

Projects included making posters before the games and giving skits during pep sessions. As a money-making project, a bake sale was sponsored in the fall.

On October 3, N.H.S. finished preparing for the 1969-70 Homecoming. In keeping with tradition. Seniors decorated the field, Sophomores decorated the gym, and the boys practiced diligently in preparing for the game. The Zephyrs, anticipating a victory, were derailed by the Ohio Bulldogs in an exciting game. Nevertheless, the Homecoming crowd enjoyed the dance in the gym which had been transformed into an “Autumn Festival.” Music was provided by Julian Heene’s band. At 10:30, the Homecoming court was presented with Sue Bradley and Jim Pletkovich crowning the new king and queen. Crown bearers for the event were Lori Smith and Bob Lindbeck. Thus the Neponset Zephyr fans dispersed remembering an eventful evening and looking forward to the next Neponset Homecoming.
