This great day was looked forward to with both apprehension and anticipation. All of us arrived at school early to begin shining shoes, carrying books, etc. for the seniors. The entire student body then paraded around town with us miserable-looking freshmen leading the procession; and finally after a party that night, we became full-fledged freshmen. At our first class meeting, we elected the following officers; Sam Casleton, president; Bob Rohr, vice president; Sondra Schopfer, secretary; Chuck Oberholtzer, treasurer. Charles Knewitz and Jimmie Calloway were selected to represent our class in the Student Council. They maintained this position for the remaining three years. Mr. Don Sexton and Mrs. Gladys Stookey became our sponsors and started us on our long road. By selling popcorn at basketball games, we managed to start building our class fund. The main event of our freshman year was the Frolicking Freshman Fandango we presented. This variety show was the first of its kind and included a little of everything. Thus, we met with a smashing success in our first venture. Now we had finished one year of high school, and the trail was broken. In our sophomore year, we selected Jerry Leinecke as our president for our past president had moved; but we retained the other officers. Again the popcorn machine was our chief source of income. Another chore we endured in our attempt to make money was picking up corn. Towards the end of this year, we chose our class rings, and now we could hardly wait until we were juniors to receive them. Jerry Leinecke was again elected president, Bob Rohr, vice president; and Chuck Oberholtzer, treasurer; but Barbara Kniepkamp was installed as the new secretary. This year we had the responsibility of not only SELLING candy and soda, but we had to see that the bottles and wrappers were put into their proper places. In the magazine sales, we finally reached a goal” by topping our arch rivals--the seniors. Not only did we sell more than the seniors, but our class helped to become the first group to sell more than $1500 worth of magazines. One of the main events of our junior year was the play we presented, ’’The Nutt Family. ” We woundup this year by presenting one of the best Proms ever--so it was said-- Hawaiian Moonlight.” Although this was a tremendous amount of work, we had as much fun decorating as we did at the dance--even if we were terribly tired. We lost one of our sponsors, Mrs. Stookey; but we were happy to receive another just as capable and efficient, Miss Dorothy House. During our senior year, all of last year's officers were again unanimously re-elected. Our last year was as busy a year as all the previous years. We had the coat check at basketball games, scrap drives, paper drives, and cornpicking as sources of income. Some of the highlights of the year were our Senior Sensational (another variety show), ”Man Overboard. ” Four years of work, study, and planning were needed to receive our diplomas, but we received our reward of a class trip to Washington, D. C. Our goals have been reached, and now the senior class of 1961 looks forward to the future with high hopes. 14 • At My, what feminine looking legs. What do you think you’re doing?

Now, Jenie, don't be so self-conscious just because you're getting your senior picture taken. It's not everyday a fire truck comes to school--to fix the flag pole, though?? No, those aren't Easter eggs—they're just light blubs for the Christmas tree on the school. (? edition zt 02( ctdAutyton, Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen! This is Chet Brinkley, David Huntly, and Murrow R. Edwards reporting for Station N. A. H. on this 1984 Inaugural Ball. This is more of a class reunion than an inauguration, as the President has invited the members of his high school graduating class, the class of 1961. Most of them haven't been to the White House since their trip here at Washington, D. C. The guests are now filing in—the first to be greeted by Sondra Schopfer, the President's secretary, is the new governor of Illinois, Dorothy Holston House. My goodness, here is another person we did not ex-pect--it is none other than Neilicka Schaller, Premier of Russia, accompanied by the U. S. Ambassador to Russia, Gerald Meehan. And now in a wild array of fur and diamonds enter Barb Nuemberger and THE playboy on the society scene, Chuck Oberholtzer. These two are engaged in making a new smash musical written, produced, and directed by Don Sexton. By the way. Sam,” as he is affectionately known, and his Bohemian Buddies are providing the music for the ball. A large group from New Athens has just entered the hall. Among them are the president of the Farm Bureau, Roger Conner and his cousin-secretary, Carol Neff. With them are Betty Harriss, Irma Parker, Nancy Becker, and Betty Range, all secretaries in the Pentagon. Also entering is the former Rose Burnett and her husband, who has distinguished himself by flying over the North Pole and diving under the South Pole in the Navy's latest invention. Snuggling up in a corner are Steven Rockafeller's son, Ashley, and Barbara Kniepkamp, socialite heiress. Coming into the view of our cameras now are two couples who have really distinguished the class of '61--Mr. and Mrs. James Kirchhoefer (he is the president of Westinghouse, Inc. and Pat Hesse, his wife, is a Dior model in New York), and Dr. and Mrs. Jerry Leinecke. Dr. Leinecke is experimenting on lengthening the lives of various animals. Mrs. Leinecke will be remembered as Jenie Fischer, debutante and socialite on the New Athens scene. Here are some guests--Ron Barr, head coach at the University of Illinois, and Dennis Schatte, star center of the St. Louis Hawks, --sampling the elaborate spread at the banquet table prepared by Keith Moore, owner of the great chain of Carriage House Restaurants both here and abroad. Gene Beggs, of the Beggs Transport Service, isdiscussing a contract with Howard Moe Gamble, millionaire diamond miner. Thanks to Moe's taxes the national debt has been cut in half. And now back to the entrance hall for some late arrivals. Here comes Doctors Gay Herzog and Charles Knewitz, who are collaborating on a new theory of nuclear cosmofission. Next on the doorstep is Margaret Lynn (better known as Peg Wilderman) who has just finished her latest novel, Please Don't Eat The Gladiolas Beside Peyton Place. On the arm of the Secretary of Defense, Vic Main, is Jimmie Rene Calloway, his secretary and wife. One of the most charming women here is the ex-stewardess, present Mrs. America, the former Judy Vielweber. As usual, she is being her gracious self, entertaining Donald Bald, Yosemite National Park forest ranger and Jim Seibert, designer of the nuclear milking machine. Our outside cameras have just picked up the President's car approaching the drive. By the way, the President's car, the Feurer Flame, was designed by Jim. And now, the First Lady—Janice Zinkhon, former co-editor of the ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH—steps into the limelight. Her ravishing gown was designed by Mary Ellen Fries, and her stunning hair style was created by tlje owners and operators of the Salon de Paree located in the Effel Tower, the Misses Fran Loesche, Judy Schopfer, and Bev Rogers. The audience becomes silent as the orchestra begins to play the Inaugural March. And as hearts swell, with the music, we give you the President of the United States—Robert Rohr. It has been a great pleasure to bring you this long-to-be-remembered event. It can be said that the New Athens graduating class of '61 made good. Stay tuned for the next show on Station N. A. H. following a brief commercial. 16 The School Board, although it is not seen by the students in everyday school life, is the guiding force by which our school functions. With the welfare of the school and the student body in mind, the Board employs an able administrator, Mr. Bain W. Hunsaker, and a competent faculty. They see that an excellent academic and extracurricular program is provided. MR. BAIN W. HUNSAKER Scifaru tte uCe tt Soand Education Levi Seibert, Allen Schlesinger, secretary -treasurer, Mr. Hunsaker, Fred Bickel, Jr., Edmund Huber, Loren Kolditz, Orville Vogler, and George H.

Teaches chorus. fo c ftfiete c t Under the proficient guidance of Mr. Free, the math students learn which will help them in any field they may choose to enter after high school. They learn to better understand our fast moving world and to think problems through for themselves. The Math I students learn basic algebra, while the Math II students learn more of the same on a higher level. This year’s Math II class is the largest in the history of NACHS. Advanced math pupils are preparing for college. In the spring, the best students goto the math contest at SIU where they compete for honors with math students from other schools. Mr. Free explains logarithms during the trig section of the advanced math class. No wonder Mr. Free has such a hard time—the attention he gets! 11 Sctettce Is it that terrible to dis sect grasshoppers? a Jlty iCef tecJuucaC cv ilct. Through science, taught by Mr. Evans, the students learn about the world they are living in. These classes also help the pupils to adapt themselves to different environments. The chemists’ investigate the composition of substances. Mr. Free’s physics class studies the Basic Laws of Nature. Under the guidance of Mr. Evans and Mr. Taylor, the students understand the phenomena of human life and living matter. What! the physics class studying??? Oh, this is more like it!!! The mixed chorus practices for the choral clinic at S. I. U. z td TZecneatiott The music department at NACHS provides a diversion from the regular routine of school life. Mrs. Frances Hunsaker and Mr. Don Sexton have worked long and hard to provide interesting and educational courses. In these courses, students work closely together preparing for such activities as concerts, contests, parades, and festivals. Students also gain a better understanding of team co-operation in the P. H. classes, taught by Miss Lands and Coach Otness. In such classes, they learn to abide by the rules of the games they play, and thus they are preparing themselves for a healthful, more useful life. While Mr. Sexton makes a last-minute check, the band awaits the downbeat for the Christmas concert. Looks likes fun, but don't break your neck!!! Chuck Oberholtzer shows the Spanish II class Spanish currency. The Spanish I class listens to a story, El jardin del pueblo (translation-- The Town's Garden. ) What's going on in the back of the room??? For better understanding of languages, of peoples, and of the common-day usage of our own language, the students are offered four years of English, a modern literature course, and a Spanish course. From the English courses, taught by both Miss House and Mr. Luther, students gain much knowledge of the correct study and usage of grammar. The modern literature class examines the changes and influences of literature and its importance to people and the changing times. Through the close study of Spain, its customs, and its people, the Spanish I and II students are better able to master the Spanish language. Are Chaucer's Canterbury Tales that funny, Neil Schaller?? Santa's Little Elves practice their speech for the Christmas stunt. The senior boys take a last-minute look at notes before their Ag. test. . . . The Ag. II class learns how to make a hog waterer. . . . Senior Home Ec. class fit their patterns and make their schedules. s4fcfrCtecC Under the capable direction of Mr. Pieron, the students in industrial arts learn how to use and safely operate tools. This year the class built a new candy case for the use of the junior class' candy sales, as well as many other interesting projects for home use. In our agricultural department which is under the guidance of Mr. Taylor, the -tudents are educated in the modern methods of farming. The classes traveled to Chester, where they took part in a land judging contest. The home economics students learn by doing such things as hair styling, cooking, sewing, child care, home decorating, and color harmony. Miss Wyatt is showing excellent ability in her first actual teaching position. Home Ec. I mixes paints while studying color co-ordination. . . . Industrial Arts III tries to keep their minds on their work as they watch the World Series on TV. . . . While drilling. Bill Sickmeier is surprised by the camera. The bookkeeping class works its practice tests--at least they get to write checks for large amounts! . . . Is the dictaphone machine telling a joke or just a dull letter?? . . . Besides learning the skills of typing, the students learn the care of a typewriter. Sciences A competent secretary shall be an asset to the business world; and therefore, commerce courses prepare the young woman for an important career. Commerce students at NACHS are taught the essential steps of typing and shorthand. Later, they may take the more thorough subjects of transcription, bookkeeping, and secretarial practice which will enable them to be tops in their business positions. As a realistic supplement, each student is assigned a teacher for whom she does various secretarial work. The transcription class watches a movie on mimeographing techniques . . . The shorthand students practice daily the varied shorthand forms, and then try to see of they can read their shorthand to transcribe it. . . . Judy, you don’t look very happy, even though class is finally over. The sociology class is lectured by Mr. Knewitz, on, ’’Man, the Animal. ” Miss Lands explains a slide about the Spanish War to the world history class. Social The 4th hour U. S. history class takes notes about Andrew Jackson--that's what you think?!? Studies Social studies are the group of studies in which one seeks to establish a science of the social life of human groups. Under the capable teaching of Miss Lands, the world history class studies current world events in the daily newspapers. The objective of the class is, ”to make possible a better understanding of the people and the events of the world today. Sociology is the subject in which the pupils gain insight into the problems of societies. The U. S. history class has been told by their teacher, Mr. Knewitz, that, ’’the better able we are to understand the past, the better able we are to predict the future. Thus the students achieve a better knowledge of the U. S. A. and its part in the modem world of today.” GeneBeggs, aren't there any more chairs in the sociology classroom?

S. New Athens, docked at Waukiki Beach, the passengers descended the ramp. Natives greeted them and made them feel at home on the island. The exotic beauty of the tropical surroundings was enjoyed by all. Several tourists walked through the busy city, passing great palm trees, huge hotels, and other buildings. A few stopped at Don the Beachcomber's. Others went on to the beach and received refreshments from the native servers in a little grass hut. In the evening, everybody went dancing and later gathered around to see Bill Stolte and Mary Ellen Fries crowned king and queen of the island. A native dance was done in honor of the king and queen. Later entertainment was provided by some of the islanders. In the wee hours of the morning, everyone went to see the movie, Count Your Blessings. Then they returned to a cafe for breakfast, ending the gay festivity. A burst of applause arises as the new king and queen enter. . . . The Hawaiian king and queen now reign over the island people. ... An atmosphere of ecstasy prevails over all. The long-awaited moment arrived when Bill Stolte and Mary Ellen Fries were crowned king and queen of the 1960 JUNIOR AND SENIOR PROM! In the candlelight of the sidewalk cafe', . . . ah-so! Flashbulbs! ! . . . Two glamorous beauties, Mike Ferris and Chuch Oberholtzer, aided our guest, Elsie Webb, in a typical island dance. . . . Diana Beadle, Ron Lara-more, Bill Sickmeier, and Marilyn Wolf, the native servants, await their tourists. Dressed to suit the occasion, the Melotones provided a romantic air. . . . The mystical moonlight floods across the rolling surf, kissing the island with a touch of tropical serenity. By the reactions and comments of everyone, Mrs. Stookey realizes her work wasn't in vain; and received a lei in appreciation. . . . Thanks to the junior parents, the Prom breakfast sure was great. . . . Don, the Beachcomber's hut will be our conversational piece if we don't get these stripes straight, says Mrs. Stookey.

The most exciting and rewarding victory in baseball came during the spring season when New Athens triumphantly came home from the Regional Tournament at Okawville with an Uto5 victory. The Jackets played Mt. Vernon in the championship game on May 18. In order to play this championship game, the boys defeated Chester at Okawville. After winning the regional tournament, NACHS journeyed to DuQuoin where we played the first game in the sectional tournament. Unfortunately, the team suffered a defeat of 2 to 3 when we battled Shawnee. With the enthusiasm of the new coach, Mr. Otness, our fall season got underway. After losing two of the first three games, our mighty Yellow Jackets flew into a six game winning streak which resulted in an 8 to 5 winning season. R. B.
