In the Fall of 1978, NACHS presented its first all school play. The cast proved to be the largest ever with its thirteen female roles and fourteen male roles. The play was centered around Mr. Sheridan Whiteside who has broken his hip and has to stay at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley. While Whiteside was recuperating, his secretary, Maggie, fell in love with newspaperman Bert Jefferson. Afraid that Maggie will leave him Mr. Whiteside sent for Lorraine Sheldon, a beautiful actress, to turn Bert away from Maggie. The result was two hours of fun involving movie stars, penguins, and mummy cases.

Ladies of the Jury Ladies of the Jury was the title of the New Athens Community High School's spring play on March 30. It was a courtroom comedy centered around two women: One, an ex-chorus girl turned wealthy widow, Yvette Gordon (Jeana Hentzel), is accused of doing away with her newly acquired, but aged husband. Denying her guilt, she takes over center-stage in Judge Fish’s (Pat Canning) courtroom, creating scenes never witnessed on Broadway. She seems to have no allies, but a member of the jury, Mrs. Crane (Laura Schott). What insult almost wrecks the judge's belief in the American legal system. When the jury retires, even the prosecuting attorney (Brad Kirkpatrick) and the defense lawyer (Susie Wahlig) have no control to stop Mrs. Crane from waging a one-woman campaign to convince the other jurors of Mrs. Gordon’s innocence.

Cropping pictures, writing captions and copies and designing were some of the jobs that had to be done. There is a lot of work to be done before the pages can be sent to be published. The 1977-78 edition of VESPA won the Golden Dozen Award again. This has been the sixth year in a row for VESPA to receive this Honor. We hope to do as good of a job this year as they have been able to do in the past. VESPA Days Were Filled With VESPA STAFF: Mark Schneidewind. Amy Litteken, Tony Daubach, Leslie Rehmer.

But, it wasn't until 1978 that the dream was fulfilled, and NACHS took a second place trophy. In 1979 the dream was not forgotten and the team again went to state. Many factors led them to their number one spot. Namely, the spirit of previous years; the team’s personal drive; and the support of many fans. The Jacket’s talent was shown throughout the season with only two losses. At Springfield the Yellow Jackets easily bypassed Virden, but then they had to beat Providence, the defending champions. After defeating Providence, the team went on to win against Normal University High to capture the crown. More excitement was added when it was announced that Ken Pour had been drafted by the Kansas City Royals. In 1948 and 1978, the team was runner-up, but now in 1979 the Yellow Jackets can truly be called BIG NUMBER ONE! Kenny Pour, who was dratted by the Kansas City Royals, explains a play to some tans. The thrill of victory is shown in different ways by the team. 158 THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Two roads diverged in a yellow road, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the under growth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh! I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back I shall be telling this with a sigh Some where ages and ages hence; Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference. — Robert Frost Now that you are at the end of the book, look back. Remember all the fantastic times and the not-so-good times. Look back to some of the big decisions you have made and learn from them. The theme of this yearbook has revolved around making choices and taking the many different paths of life that make everyone exactly what he is — A very Special Person. As you go on with your lives never forget the times you shared with friends or with the school as a whole. Let them be with you forever. As this year is completed it is time to choose what you will do next year. Looking through the past in putting together this yearbook, we would like to thank our assistant, Connie Wesolik; Our photographer, business managers, The rest of the VESPA staff and especially Jeff Lehr for designing the cover and the division pages. The work we shared has been rough at times, bothersome at times, but nevertheless it has been fun. THANKS AGAIN 159
