Illinois 62264 Volume 38 4 s Free To Be You And Me Today more than ever, students have been given the chance to express and be themselves. As students we learn about life, about others, and most important of all. about ourselves. Individually and as a participant in the activities of NACHS, each person develops his own values and goals. These values and goals began in the classroom, through extracurricular activities, and in competitive sports. The surroundings, companions, and most importantly, what was gained from each passing day proved to be valuable for the creativity and imagination put forth by each student. Because each of us have been granted these special freedoms to display our feelings and express our opinions, the VESPA Staff of 1978 felt that the theme “Free To Be You and Me” very appropriate. We hope that throughout this book you too can experience and recapture some of the memories which will be treasured forever. The originality and uniqueness which was used to compose this 1978 VESPA will demonstrate to all who reads its contents that we are “FREE TO BE YOU AND ME.” Dedicated To Those Being Free To Educate (front row) Miss Van Hove, Mr. Trotter.

The faculty at New Athens High School have shown us through their unselfishness that they are not only willing to help us through all those tough homework assignments: but they are also our friends, people we can relate to when in doubt. They are a symbol of knowledge who offer challenge to students willing to accept it in this changing world of ours. Teachers prepare a foundation from which we can expand and amend future time and trend. Full of life and integrity, firm yet respected, understanding and generous with sympathy are some of the qualities inherent within each and every teacher at NACHS. These educators are fair and impartial with the foresight to see the needs and desires which students face when entering the classroom. So we say to NACHS teachers, as kind as you may be. life's future is dependent on the thoughts you seed.

Early in the year plans were made for the annual Junior Dance, held on October 8. 1977. The theme was Sadie Hawkins, a dance where the girls were to ask the guys. At the dance, the students and advisors enjoyed refreshments. a jail, and a marriage booth. As the year progressed, the class sold magazines to raise money for the prom. Approximately SI500 was made. Since the class trips were out, money-received during the year from candy and soda sales will be used for Prom and future class reunions. The events that highlighted the year were receiving class rings and planning for the Prom.

The class of 80 began their second year at NACHS with much expectation. Their year was full of many new experiences. The highlight for most was receiving their driver’s license after many long hard hours of work in driver’s education. To help in planning for their future careers the class took the ASVAB test. The ordering of class rings was also an important event during the year. Because the senior trip was discontinued the class didn't hold a money raising activity but they did continue the dog tag sales from last year.

Appointed for the Varsity squad was Mrs. Tana Becherer. Appointed for the J.V. squad was Mrs. Vanda Oyler. Both sponsors spent many hours with their squad perfecting cheers, gymnastics, and mounts. Six statisticians were appointed by Coach Blumberg to keep charts on the players during the games. During the summer, the J.V. squad attended the Golden Eagle Cheerleading Camp at Bloomington. The camp gave the girls a chance to learn new techniques and ideas which applied to floor cheers and sideline cheers. The J.V. squad backed the J.V. and Fresh.-Soph, teams at all times. For the Homecoming game, the cheerleaders planned a pep rally for teachers and students. The Varsity squad made up a pom-pon routine to “Smoke on the Water.” They performed the routine during the rally and at the game that night. The routine was highlighted with the arrival of new pom-pons for both squads. The enthusiastic spirit lead by the cheerleaders at the rally helped the Jackets gain a Homecoming victory! The Varsity squad backed the Varsity team cheering them to a first place victory in the Chester Tournament, and first place crown in the Regional Tournament. After the Regional victory, the Jackets moved to Sectional games. Unfortunately, the Jackets lost the game, but the cheerleaders were proud of the Jackets while backing them in every game through the season all the way to the Sectionals.

What are the things that matter most. . . as each of us goes along ... for some it's the glow of friendship . . . for another the beauty of song . . . For some it's the challenge of learning . . . for others the joy of success . . . but whatever your heart is set on . . . may it bring you happiness. Jean Kyler McManus Putting this yearbook together has not only been fun but it has been a challenge. Compiling these memories from the past year has tested originality and creativity. It has permitted each of us to become a part of the book: to express ourselves in our own way. The VESPA staff hopes that you too will relive the story which lies on the pages of this yearbook. As editor of the 1978 VESPA “Free To Be You and Me.” I would like to express my Gratitude to all those who made this year-ook possible. First of all. I would like to thank my co-assistant editors Annette Haubrich and Lisa Litteken. and the rest of the VESPA staff. Not only did they put up with me when those deadlines grew near but without their help this yearbook could not have been possible. It was through the giving up of their time and their hard work that put all these special memories into a book which we can treasure forever. I would also like to extend a big thanks to our sponsor. Miss Reba Jones; Mr. Bill Blewett of Taylor Publishing Company. Rembrandt Photograph Studio, and all those who listed in our ads section and last but not least, each and everyone of our parents.
