V VOLUME 44 NEW ATHENS COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL NEW ATHENS, IL 62264 VESPA’S GAMES PEOPLE PLAY For All Ages Contents: 136 pages of the 1983-64 Year at NACHS Object of Game: Finish year having done one’s best The Winner: Anyone who has successfully completed the game FOREWORD Games People Play” seems at first glance a strange theme for a yearbook, but upon further investigation, it’s appropriateness stands out. Life is a game in that risks are incurred, chances taken. We may not end the game as winners in the common sense of the word, but if we have played the game well, done our very best, we are indeed winners. The dice and the cards throughout the book symbolize the way life can change. Just when we think we've rolled our lucky seven, the dice come up cra . Throughout our lives, we take chances, whether it be in attempting to steal in a basketball game, dating, or even in Drivers Ed. These chances strengthen our character if we play them to our advantage. So journey onward through this game, hold tight to your dice, and guard your cards well, for the end comes quickly when all await the turn of a friendly card. 3 sJO fe j sBej uoisiaiQ — P You made Honor Forgot lunch Roll — take money another turn. — go back two spaces.

Allies In troubled times It's hard to get straight answers Between the lines That border wrong or right The homeland cries It struggles with confusion But this feelin’ still remains Like shelter from the rain We live on faith In the hands of those who guide us And tear the page from the fear we left behind We set the pace in every born survivor Don't turn the other way When I need to hear you say. (Refrain) Allies With our backs against the wall I will answer when you call And take on the odds For what we believe is true Allies In a world of too much choice I only need your voice To tell me you care I'll be anywhere for you Allies We search our heart to justify the reason And draw the line to meet somewhere halfway If faith is blind through darkness it will guide us 'Cause the spirit still remains With the keepers of the flame. (Repeat Refrain) With our backs against the wall I will answer when you call And take on the odds For what we believe is true In a world of too much choice I only need your voice To tell me you care I'll be anywhere for you Allies.

Connie Queen looks behind her to see if someone else knows the correct answer. Four years have come and gone, and we are now at the crossroads of our lives. Much has been done by our friends and teachers to prepare us for what lies ahead. We've gained many close firendships, cried much, laughed often, and most importantly, grown up here. When we look back, we find we’ve accomplished much, not only academically, but mentally and emotionally with the maturing of our minds and the molding of our characters as well. These years will long be remembered for there have been moments of joy and success, tears and sorrow, all of which have helped us to be where and who we are today. What we do now tells much about how we’ve spent these years of learning. We are now ready to choose our road in life for opportunity is ours. 3 281 — Seniors EDUCATION 18 LIKE TIM:... IT NEVER STOPS!

During the number of months of his stay, he lived with Mr. and Mrs. Don Dudeck and family. Marco, who was born on December 27, 1966, is the son of Antonio and Katrina (Jrera. He has two brothers, Enrique and Ariel, and a sister, Mia. Every foreign exchange student must be an above average student and Marco's courses definitely indicate this. He took Advanced Composition, American Government, Consumer Education, G.S. History, Trigonometry, Calculus, Computer Math I and II, Physics, Band, and Physical Education. All of these courses will be useful in the future, as he plans to attend college and travel as much as possible. Marco selected America because he wanted to see what American high school students were like in comparison to the Filipino students. Basically, he found that the biggest difference between his country and the G.S. was that the Americans are more aggressive in personality than the Filipinos. Marco experienced many different and entertaining things in the G.S., but he liked the changing seasons the best. Although Marco was kept well occupied with new and exciting things, he still missed his teenage social life at 'the Filipino parties,' as they are unlike American parties. Marco had many memorable moments and embarrassing experiences, but receiving a surprise birthday cake during school and a gift of edible underwear,' unequaled them all. Many will remember Marco, for he is a very friendly and outgoing person, who made a countless number of friends. These friends were sorry to see him leave and wish Marco continued success with his future plans. Marco’s home address is as follows: c o Antonio Grera; P.O. Box 770; Manila, Philippines.

(Refrain) You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em On a warm summer’s eve On a train bound for nowhere 1 met up with a gambler We were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin' Out the window at the darkness Till the boredom overtook us And he began to speak. He said, Son, I've made a life Out of reading people's faces And knowin' what the cards were By the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind my sayin' I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle And he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette And asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet And his face lost all expression Said, “If you're gonna play the game, boy. You've got to learn to play it right. Know when to walk away And know when to run. You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There’ll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done. Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin’ what to throw away And knowin' what to keep. Cause every hand is a winner And every hand is a loser And the best that you can hope for Is to die in your sleep. And when he finished speakin' He turned back toward the window Crushed out his cigarette And faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness The gambler, he broke even And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep: D Overslept — skip one turn. m r m 70 in You sold most magazines — move ahead two spaces.

Moving into the Regionals, the Yellow Jackets faced the Marissa Meteors, beating them with a 4-2 score. In the next round against Steelville, the Yellow Jackets came within one strike of being eliminated, but the Steelville pitcher became wild, walked five consecutive batters, and gave the Yellow Jackets a 6-5 win.

The Lady Jacket softball team completed another winning year, compiling an overall record of 12-11. Although the Lady Jackets lost the first three games to the top three teams in the Cahokia Conference, they came back to beat Central by a 15-10 score, posting the first win of the year. The softball team soon bounced back to win four out of the next five games, breaking even at 5-5 midway through the season. Finally in the latter half of the season, having beaten several good teams — such as Wesclin Okawville, and a doubleheader sweep of Lebanon, the Lady Jackets rolled into the Regional with a 11-10 mark. After defeating Chester with a 9-5 score, the Lady Jackets then played the second-seeded Mascoutah Indians in the quarter final round. Although the Lady Jackets scored once in the opening inning, they failed to score in the remainder of the contest. Mascoutah did not score until the fifth inning, when the Indians plated a run to tie the score at 1-1. The game went into an extra inning where Mascoutah put the Lady Jackets away with two runs ending the Lady Jackets' dreams of a Regional Championship. The Lady Jackets' leading hitter was Valerie Ret-tinghouse, with a batting average of .446, while Sherri Mehrmann had a .405 average with 5 home runs and 38 runs batted in.

FFA Dance — 101 Homecoming Week | ‘Family Feud’ Comes to NACHS The 1984 Homecoming Week, February 6-11, was unlike any other, for there was much excitement and entertainment. The week consisted of the following activities: Monday was clash day or dress down day; Tuesday was pajama, teddy bear, and sucker day; Wednesday was dress in your favorite sports apparel day or 50's day; Thursday was purple and gold day and the Pep Rally; Friday was the Homecoming game against Lebanon; and Saturday was the Homecoming dance. The students' enthusiasm and spirit was brought out in their participation of the Homecoming activities. They again showed their spirit by creating posters, not only for the poster contest, but also for the homecoming game. Students anxiously awaited the Pep Rally, as many rumors had circulated that Family Feud was coming to NACHS's Pep Rally. The Pep Rally began with everyone rising to the school song, which was played by the band. During and after the song, the cheerleaders did several routines, but their most complicated performance was to the Go-Go's We Got the Beat. Following the routine, the legs award and various others were presented to the winners, who were nominated by the teachers and voted on by the students. Then came the anticipated Family Feud between the Student Family and the Teacher Family, with the Student Family coming out on top. In addition to this, was the Sponge Throw, where students hurled wet sponges into the faces of their favorite” teachers. The grand finale was when a bucket of water was thrown at the crowd! Altogether, it was one of the best Homecoming Weeks ever and it would be impossible to write down every laughable and exciting moment!

Throughout the week, the student body had voted on the members of the court, who were announced at the pep rally. A red and white color scheme, complete with streamers, cupids, and balloons, decorated the gym. During the coronation the 1984 Homecoming King and Queen were crowned much to everyone’s delight.

Photos were taken before a mural of a Southern mansion's garden and guests danced under dangling stars and streamers to the music of Phazer until the awaited coronation.

Now it's time to call And raise the bet. Or it’s time to fold. The game’s been long And you’ve often wondered If the decision to draw Was right or wrong. But you took the bet And with no regrets, You’ve played the game of life. Whether you win or lose, It makes no difference For this is a game of a different sort. And for all who play, The price is high And believe me, all do pay In this game of life. But there are winners, too As in all games But the winnings here Are worth far more than Any pot of gold, For they’re your heart, your mind, And your soul. And when you leave this table. Whether you’ve won or lost, You took the gamble, Incurred the risk And in doing so, you’ve won In this game of life. Mary Schilling 136 Throughout the book we have tried to capture the many moments in the lives of NACHS students. Whether they be happy or sad, these moments are what have made our years at NACHS special. Words alone cannot adequately describe these emotions, they can only circumscribe that which cannot be said. The thoughts that these pictures invoke will remain with us, however, and all that we need is to review these pages, thus jarring our memories, and bringing back fond thoughts. In compiling these moments for you to retain, we have found that there are those without whom we could not have completed this book. Therefore, we would like to extend a special “Thank You to: Ms. Reba Jones, our advisor, for her support and for putting up with our interruptions during classes to get passes and ask our many questions; Mary Schilling, for her encouragement, ideas, her drawings found throughout the book, her poems found on the memory page and our closing, and especially for her determination to help us meet that last deadline; Lisa Main, who put extra effort and time into her job as Co-Head Photographer, without which many of these pages would contain only words; our ad patrons for their support; the senior class, who paid for the colored senior pictures; Kevin Birkner, Fred Blumberg, and Tom Germann, who each gave a picture of their own, enabling us to better preserve our days at NACHS; and to the faculty who endured the confusion of our picture days.
