New Athens High School - Vespa Yearbook (New Athens, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1981 volume:

Greg Jungc lakes a close look al his lunch before eating while Dan Clark stares off into space. Vlardy Kecs smiles after receiving an A on her last test. With the destruction of the old New Athens bridge and the completion of the new Route 13 bridge, the Vespa staff has decided to symbolize our high school years as a bridge to the future. As we face the void separating our inexperienced youth from the knowledge and experience that will be necessary for us to become successful adults, we re- alize that that void will be impossible to cross without the bridge of education. Yet we also recognize that that bridge will be extremely hard to construct. Moreover. we understand that our bridge building will not end with high school. We will need to build other bridges that will link us to such other notable destinations as love, friendship, matu- rity, and employment. Nevertheless, it is the bridge that we have built in high school which is most important in getting us started on the main artery that leads to all of these other destinations. Over this first bridge will flow the basic skills, attitudes, and knowledge that will allow us to successfully engineer those future bridges. 3 Classes Man's earliest bridges were only steppingstones placed at intervals across a stream. If a person wanted to cross he simply hopped from stone to stone gradually nearing his destination. This idea of stepping-stones may seem primitive, but it was the basic foundation leading to the construction of today’s most complex bridges. High school is like these steppingstones for it will help you reach your goals. But. it is only a foundation on which to build stronger bridges of success and happiness. Seniors Prepared Themselves SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Mr. Mueller. Sponsor: Todd Burns. Vice-President: Dan Hammcl. President; Doug Rowold. Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Kassing. Sponsor. From starting off on stepping stones as Freshmen to walking across structured steel bridges, the Seniors ended their last year of high school. Many prepared for college by filling out applications and scholarship forms, and by taking the ACT test. Others prepared for their future lives by preparing to go to trade schools or looking for jobs. Seniors also spent their time making lasting memories by attending the 1981 Prom, participating in the Senior Dress Down Day, being with special friends, and making the final arrangements for graduation.

Todd Fritsche Vonda Blum Fritsche Don Galle David Greten Debbie Greten The junior year for the class of ’82 had many projects to pursue. To start things off they elected their class officers and began the magazine sales for the funding of the prom. The next month was highlighted by the junior class receiving their class rings signifying that they were truly upperclassmen. Later that same month, they sponsored the Junior Odyssey '80 for the enjoyment of the student body. After this task was successfully completed, they began the major project of planning the 1981 Jr.-Sr. Prom to be held on April 25. As another school year came to a close, the junior class looked forward to a last wild year at NACHS. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: (front row) Carrie Magill. Treasurer; Chris Boyett.

They rejoiced over the fact that they were no longer freshmen and now had a year of experience behind them. During the Annual Magazine Sales sophomores showed their excellent ability to sell by beating the juniors. From those sales class members purchased “Class of ’83 T-shirts to show their spirit. Some class members helped to make the Homecoming Poster for the game against the Columbia Eagles during Homecoming Week. About the most important event for sophomores was the receiving of their driver’s license enabling them to drive. Sophomores took endless numbers of tests, brought home stacks of homework, found time to have fun, and looked forward to next year when they would be upperclassmen. 26 of Being Upperclassmen Next Year Amy Schreiber Scott Spier Patty Weber Jeffrey Winter Mark Schott Lisa Walsh John Wool l ord Brenda Young Glenda Young Mary Schilling Sheryl Stroh Donna Schneider John Wahlig Greg Rowold demonstrates his usual attentive Robyn Burns threatens Dan Rickert with his life unless he removes his “buns” from altitude during German class. her seal. 27 Freshmen Enter the This year Freshmen joined in the active life of high school as they met new friends and teachers. They took part in sports, joining clubs, and conducting class meetings. They entered into the true spirit of high school and discovered that just because they were new, being a Freshman wasn't all that bad.

To a chasm, vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim-That sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when he reached the other side. And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man.” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength in building here. Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide Why build you the bridge at the eventide? The builder lifted his old gray head. “Good friend, in the path I have come.” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He. too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.” Administration Kept Mr. Dale J.

Career Education was taught in combination with Health Education two days a week. The course was formed to help students improve their own powers of self-expression and to give them information about the work world and its opportunities.

Students took the required English 1 and II. or College Prep. Grammar and American Humor. The English courses ranged from more advanced to courses that were a review for the student. Students could prepare for college or get into the world of the supernatural. The English department tried to fulfill everyone’s needs and desires in the world of language arts. NACHS students were only offered one foreign language this year. In German I and II, the students learned vocabulary, grammar. translation, and reading. Also, to increase their knowledge of the culture. German III was offered. 44 of the Many Language Courses German students get tanned while studying German.

For instance, they sang in the Fall Concert. Spring Concert, Christmas Concert, Festival, and also in Band Contest, which was held on April 11. That is where people in the chorus learn and memorize certain songs to be sung in front of a judge. One major activity was the solo and ensemble contest. Mainly every person in band chorus participated in it. You may be in an ensemble with about 3-8 people, or you may take a solo. The Chorus practiced every day for an hour. During the hour, they drill on sight-reading, scales, and songs that need to be practiced. Chorus can be a fun class and educational as well! 55 Library Guidance Aided Student Problems The Guidance Office provides information on various careers, helps students with their personal problems, and aides in college entrance. Mrs. Axley, the guidance counselor, counsels students in scheduling their classes for their years at NACHS. The Library offers reading materials. reference materials for doing term and research papers, and many other “words of wisdom” to NACHS students and faculty.

The cooks kept busy with preparing hot meals, while the lunch stand offered quick lunches for students on the go. The custodians helped clean up after the cafeteria as well as the rest of the school. The bus drivers saw that the students were dropped off safely to and from school. Clubs and Sports The construction of the first covered bridge was meant to afford a means of protection against harsh weather conditions, not only for travelers but for the framework of the bridge itself, but beyond these purely practical considerations this configuration in time showed itself to be a beautiful, distinctive link to the past. The bridge of education also needs a mark of distinction so that those who traverse it will never forget it, and for us that “cover” to our “covered bridge” has been extracurricular activities. Like the cover over those old bridges, extracurricular activities lend interest and durability to all our high school memories. The F.F.A. Was Active in The New Athens F.F.A. Chapter had many high honors awarded to its members. Two chapter members held sectional offices: Tim Petrowich, who was the Section 22 Reporter, and Laura Parker, who was the Section 22 Sweetheart. The F.F.A. was also able to achieve high goals with some of its teams. The Soil Judging Team won first place in the Section 22 for its second year in a row. The Parliamentary Procedure Team also did very well again this year with a first in both the Section 22 and in the District V contests. In addition to their other activities, the F.F.A. sponsored a C.P.R. certification course for any of its members who were interested. They also sponsored this course for one of the local granges.

The purpose of the FCA was to promote team- work and good sportsmanship as the foundation for successful athletics. During the year the FCA held group discussions about various topics of interest to its members such as dating, religion, and the effects of team unity. The group also held a Christmas party and gift exchange on December 13 at the Morovitz home and sponsored a canoe trip on July 8 to practice their theme of unity. 71 VESPA Staff Worked After school hours the door to the VESPA room was passed through many times. The workers learned ideas for a good yearbook by getting some special hints from other yearbooks in the past. Planning the yearbook took many hard, working hours after school. The staff had the duties of choosing the correct pictures, cropping it to the right size, creating captions and titles, and writing the copies. Meeting deadlines was never easy to do but the staff some how always managed to make it. We hope to do as well this year as they have in previous years. VESPA OFFICERS: (first row) Amy Littekcn.

The most disappointing of these was to Waterloo, the Cahokia Conference Champs, 48-40. In the Christmas tournament. New Athens bent Venice 62-55, but lost the next two games to Gibault and Steeleville. In the Chester Tournament, New Athens lost to Anna-Jonesboro but came back to win against Trico 54-51.

It was individualistic by the fact that it was the biggest bridge built at that time, it was the first steel bridge, and it was built at greater depths than ever before attempted. This bridge transformed St. Louis into an important rail center and gave James Eads an immortal rank among great engineers. The Student Life section captures students’ attempts to build their own individual bridges of personality, like James Eads built his own bridge. If students dare to be individual. they too will benefit society and place high in its ranks. Bridges Not the kind I think. We see along the road. The kind existing elsewhere: The book that is the bridge To another time and place. The friendship that spans The years and forms The bond that links Us together. The love that crosses The chasm of loneliness. And affords passage To understanding. But most evident— The bridge connecting What we were and are Now, To what we may become.

Ms. Jones makes sure no one is out of order. In every organization, there is one person whose hard work and dedication are least appreciated. This person is the sponsor: the adult who takes away from her own free time to aid students in extracurricular activities. Miss Jones, the VESPA advisor, has been one of these dedicated persons for the past five years. We have dedicated this page to her, not only for the time she spent dealing with publishing companies and handling money, but for the times she had to take pictures our photographers could not take: for the hours she spent printing pictures that our developers could not print; and for the many headaches we have caused her trying to meet deadlines. It takes a lot of responsibility to be a sponsor, but Miss Jones has never shied away from this task. For all of these reasons, the Vespa staff would like to say: Thank You, Miss Jones. 143 Every friendship that lasts is built of certain durable materials. The first of these is truthfulness. If I can look into the eyes of my friend and speak out always the truthful thought and feeling with the simplicity of a little child, there will be a real friendship between us. — Bertha Conde As this book comes to a close, we find that there are many people who were essential in putting together this book. We'd like to give a special thanks to Ms. Reba Jones, our advisor, we know that often she’d wonder if we’d meet deadlines. Thanks to our co-assistant editors, Marvin Korves and Clare Wesolik. and the VESPA staff for their hard work in meeting the deadlines. the photographers for getting the pictures we needed. Mrs. Neel for her cover design and division page artwork. Ms. Boyle for her poems found in the student life section and on a division page, and all the ad patrons for supporting the book. Throughout the book we have tried to picture all those things which, through high school, helps us to “build our bridge” to the fu- ture. As you look through this book, we hope that it will help you recall the good times you shared with special friends throughout the year. THANKS AGAIN! 144
