Do you remember that first day of high school as a freshman, that feeling of fear of all those upper class-men ... that time in class when you did your best but didn’t get the grade you wanted or that time when you thought you’d flunked but ended up with a “B” ... that first-day lecture in English II when Mr. Martin told you how illiterate you were and made you feel about two inches tall or that time you almost fell asleep during a U.S. History lecture ... how about the time when the baseball team won state and the whole town went insane or the time the softball team had a six-game winning streak after winning only six games the last year. These are all times that most of us can relate to during the past years of high school. Many other special events of the 1979-80 school year are recorded in this yearbook.

The cast consisted of twelve roles, five female and seven male. The play was a hilarious take-off of the mystery plays of the late twenties complete with sliding panels, robed figures, and wills being read at midnight. The action of the story took place in a lonely island mansion where Hannibal Hix (Bradley Kirkpatrick) and Ernestine Wintergreen (Susan Wahlig), a pair of elderly detectives, try to solve their first case, four ingenious murders. The air of mystery and comedy was set off by the ever-popular storm, the unexpected guest, and the cryptic poem. After two hours of murder, laughs, and romance, the play ended on a happy note with the murders being solved. With his candle in hand and a gun at his side.

Their year was highlighted when they received their class rings early in October. The Juniors sponsored the “Junior Renegade,” an annual dance, which was held later in October. They proved to be excellent salespersons as they outsold the Sophomore class in the magazine sales. Selling soda at lunch, and selling candy and popcorn at grade school as well as high school basketball games and other events helped in raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom which was held in April.

They had their first experience in driver’s education. Magazine sales occupied much of the Sophomore’s time in the beginning of the school year. This was to prepare them for the class’ upcoming Prom. Everyone looked ahead to great days as upperclassmen and participating in activities at New Athens High School. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Kim Stehl. President; Suzie Petri.

The 1980 Vespa was designed by the editor, Connie Wesolik. She was aided in putting the book together by the Vespa staff who was asked to test their creativity and patience by writing captions and copy, designing layouts, and typing triplicates. The hard work put into the Vespa has shown to pay off, however, as the 1978-79 Vespa won the Golden Dozen Award again for the seventh year in a row. The Vespa staff hopes to keep up the tradition. Mary Haubrich smiles proving that working on the Vespa can be fun. Connie Wesolik works hard at typing her closing for the last page of the yearbook. Spotlight Enlightened NACHS of Events.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Dolores Harris, the new Spotlight advisor, and Terry Weber, editor, the staff put in many hard hours of writing, typing, and meeting deadlines. Each issue contained the latest news of the month such as dances, club news, sports action, and the “Roving Reporter”. The Senior Supplement was the biggest issue of the year which showed pictures of the Seniors in the past and what their ambitions are in the future years of their life.

These students had a choice of working in the library, the high school or the grade school office, the nurses office, doing coach's help or being a band help. Some of the jobs included running errands, collecting absentee slips, sorting records, sorting magazines, and making bulletin boards and grading papers for teachers.

The Varsity Basketball Statisticians, Diane Lischer, Connie Wesolik, Mary Haubrich, and (top) Julie Hentzel, demonstrate that they have very promising cheerleading ability. The three Volleyball Statisticians were designated to perform certain duties. Patty Weber was assigned to run the clock for all home games. Patty Hentzel kept all the official records such as the scorebook. Jennifer Lischer acted as manager for team. The idea of the eight basketball statisticians was started just a few years ago by Coach Blumberg, who needed someone to keep accurate counts of how his team was doing. The duties of the statisticians consisted of keeping three charts. The charts were: 1. The Rebound Chart which records offensive and defensive rebounds for each player. 2. The Shot Chart which records the number of field goals attempted and made by each player. 3. The Plus-Minus Chart which records assists, recoveries, steals, draw charging fouls, (pluses) and fumbles, violations, bad passes, (minuses) for each player. The 1979-80 Junior Varsily Statisticians were (front) Becky Gamble, and Laura Parker, (back) Amy Litteken and Leslie Rehmer. The NACHS Cheerleaders Helped At Che Regional Tournament the Varsity Cheerleaders “fire up. The cheerleaders started the year off with a new sponsor, Kathy Heberer, who brought many new ideas to both squads. In the early part of the season, they attended a one-day clinic held in O’Fallon. There the varsity squad learned new cheers, chants, mounts, and jumps; while the J.V. squad learned two very difficult pompon routines. This year the cheerleaders were active in many money-making activities. They held their annual window wash and bake sale at IGA in the early fall. Later in the season they sold M M’s, and for Valentine’s Day they encouraged students to express their feelings to their special friends by selling and delivering carnations. Throughout the year they promoted school enthusiasm with plenty of help from the Pep Club and a new addition of a mascot. Kathy Heberer, cheerleading sponsor, and some of the J.V. cheerleaders try to raise enthusiasm throughout the crowd.

Dale Jansen was again voted to the all-tournament team. Another first place trophy was brought home from the Chester Tournament. One of the highlights of the final game was a slam dunk by Dale Jansen, his first ever. Dale Jansen and Dan Amann were both named to the all-tournament team. The Jackets proceeded on to the Regionals at Marissa. The first game against Coulterville was climaxed by two consecutive dunks from Dan Amann. Although New Athens was defeated by Red Bud on a last second shot, the team put forth a strong effort in the championship game. Even though the jackets’ season was cut short, the team was backed to the very end by the Pep Club and numerous other fans.

We’ve spent four long years reading books, taking notes, and listening to lectures, but usually having fun. Our senior year has been special and pictured on these pages are just a few of those special times. A Time for Us at NACHS to Look Back and Remember For everything there is a season, and a time for everything under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted: a time to kill, and time to build up: a time to weep, and a time to laugh: a time to mourn, and a time to dance: a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing: a time to seek, and a time to lose: a time to keep, and a time to cast way: a time time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak: a time to love, and a time to hate: a time for war. and a time for peace. ECCLESIASTES 3:1-8 Throughout this yearbook “time” has been a commonly used thought. Titles, copes, and captions have included the word. The great times and the not-so-great times of the school year have been recorded in this annual. They have all been recorded for you — to help you remember the year and treasure it forever. It is impossible to cpature each special moment of the year, but hopefully we’ve been able to put a few of your cherished memories in this yearbook. This page discusses time in a different way. As you reach thfe end of this book, it is time for you to look back and remember all of the special times. It is also time for you to think ahead and make a few plans for next year based on your experiences of this year. Looking back. I owe many thanks to those who have made my editor’s job a little easier. I would like to thank my co-assistant editors, Amy Littleken and Mary Haubrich. and the rest of the VESPA staff for all of their patience and hard work when deadlines grew near. I would like to extend a special thanks to Rhonda Wagner for her work on the cover and the poem printed on the student life pages. We all have put in some hard work, but through that work. I hope we have grown a little and had a little fun. THANKS AGAIN! Connie Wesolik. editor 144 r
