NIANTIC-HARRISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL NIANTIC, ILLINOIS ECHO ’69 VOLUME XXIII LOOK THRU ANY WINDOW, WHAT DO YOU SEE . . . SMILING FACES ALL AROUND . . . RUSHING TO THE BUSY SOUND. MR ROGER VON LANKEN B.S. in Education, Eastern Illinois University Mathematics, Physical Science, Physics. Sponsor; Senior class DEDICATION The class of ’69 wishes to dedicate the Echo to Mr. Roger Von Lanken and to express our thanks to a teacher and friend. In the fall of 1965, we started our days together at NHHS, we as a freshman class and Mr. Von Lanken as a new faculty member. As our class sponsor, Mr. Von Lanken has devoted many hours supervising our projects and activities. He has worked as hard as any of us as well as answering our questions at car washes and concession stands, motivated our magazine salesmen, and guided our prom, senior trip and graduation plans. Again, we say, thanks”. Mr. H. Lee Angus former principal and mathematics and physics instructor suffered a severe heart attack in January. As a result, he decided that retirement was in order, so ten- dered his resignation to the school board in March. Coming from Kirksville to the Niantic-Harristown High School in 1954, he served most efficiently as principal for a year and a half. A heart attack then forced him to resume regular classroom duties the following year. Mathematics and physics were his classroom assignments, where in math he introduced a five year program for college bound stu- dents, encouraged participation in the national math com- petition, and challenged his students constantly with ad- vanced work. In the physics class his students successfully fired per- haps the first rocket in any high school science project in the area. Each year he took many students to the engineer- ing open house at the U. of I. and to the science fair where he often served as a judge. He encouraged much research work in the field of science and made each student feel his worth, that doing his very best was important. The Student Council, too, was close to his heart. He or- ganized the council soon after he came to the high school, and its work has been far-reaching in the school life. Help- ing with homecoming plans, the Student Council sponsored the queen contest where“each girl was a queen” to Mr. Angus. And perhaps he felt no greater pride than when he escorted our Kathy McCammack to be crowned queen in the Meridian Conference queen contest just this year. MR. ANGUS RETIRES AFTER LONG CAREER Some of the many Student Council sponsored activities with Mr. Angus at the helm were: the purchase of the hon- or’s bulletin board, the podium and steps for the new stage, the large commercial size screen for the gym, the carry-voice, and securing of many outstanding school assem- blies which the council sponsored each year. Plans were also made and put into action for a Student of the Month com- mittee to honor an outstanding student of our school. The national recognition for “his distinguished teaching” was awarded him the Valley Forge Medal at a special “Lee Angus Night” sponsored by the PTA October 21,1963. Mr. Angus was also active in the teachers association, serving as county president as well as being on the delegate assembly for several years. He has been active in community work as he served his church capably and other community organizations willingly and enthusiastically. The school will miss Mr. Angus. He had a very personal concern for the individual student; a devotion to the arts and skills of teaching; an enthusiastic interest in sports; a ready wit—always ready with a good story;a congenial friendliness that endeared him to all;a dignity which made him respect the students, and he, in turn, won their loyalty and respect-a true educator. We will miss this influence and guidance of a friend With whom we all have worked for a while But our lives are richer for this friendship so true For the touch of the hand and the infectious smile. Ruth Rambach, secretary Board of Education members are men of our community who devote many hours each month to the task of manag- ing our schools.

The play was based on the life of the Reverend Peter Marshall. It illustrated the many ways in which Dr. Marshall led the young people and his influence upon them as individuals. Not only was he an influence to friends, but also to his own family. The play was directed by Mr. Earle A. Smith with Tom Koonce and Charyl Baker serving as student directors. All cast rehearsals lead to final production. Allen Groves and Lclah Byers rehearse. JUNIOR CLASS PRESENTS “A MAN CALLED PETER” Pre-stage work keeps cast members busy. Student directors Tom Kooncc and Charyl Baker are advised by Mr. Smith. .. . present a striking contrast in their farce. THESPIANS ADVANCE PLAY TO SECTIONAL For the first time in several years, Niantic-Harristown High School was represented at 1HSA speech contest this year. Under the direction of Mr. James Williams, the cast of four seniors and one junior prepared the one-act play. Entitled “Aria da Capo”, this is one of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s most noted works. Written in 1919, it is a symbolic com- mentary on war. Throughout the play, the carefree peace- time existence is contrasted with the tragedy of war. War is senseless and proves nothing. “Aria da Capo” was presented in competition at District Speech Contest on February 15th at Mattoon. Here the thespians placed third behind Matoon and Effingham, en- titling them to present the play for Sectional judging on March 7 and 8. The Sectional contest was held at University High School in Normal. Here the NHHS representatives placed sixth, being beaten by schools many times the size of our own. The host school placed first, followed by Champaign Cen- tennial, Streator, Monticello, and Bloomington. Effingham High School and Mattoon, who had previously beaten Ni- antic, placed 11th and 12th, respectively. The cast of this play were Nancy Jerdan, Shelly Songer, Joe Rozanski, Steve Kirk, and Tim Dial. Congratulations on a fine play! “Aria da Capo” cast members: Steve Kirk, Nancy Jerdan, Joe Rozanski, Shelly Song- er, and Tim Dial rehearse. The arts of costuming and make-up were also judged. SueSnoeyenbos.as the Swedish house- keeper Magda Svenson, reports her know- ledge of the crime to the courts. Statements by such witnesses as John Graham Whit- field (Steve Stahl) often brought the court to attention. GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY? This was (he question facing the twelve jury members selected from the audience at the Senior Class Play this year. Directed by Mr. James Williams, the seniors presented “Night of January 16th” by Ayn Rand, author of the noted book THE FOUNTAIN- HEAD. The play, presented on May 2,1969 at Harristown Grade School, was set in a courtroom and actually represented the trial of Miss Daren Andre (Ruth Scallions), accused slayer of her former boss, multimillionaire Bjorn Faulkner. Miss Andre’s defense attorney, Mr. Stevens, was portrayed by Steve Kirk, while Tim Dial characterized the District Attor- ney, Mr. Flint. This novel play involved the audience in that not only was the jury selected from the audience, but also cast mem- bers playing the parts of witnesses to the event were seated among the viewers; in this way the audience interest was picqued throughout the play. Upon the completion of the presentation of their respect- ive cases by the two attorneys, the jury retired to decide the “fate” of the defendant. In their hands rested the con- clusion of the play-a verdict of guilty would bring about one ending, while not guilty produced another. Certainly this presentation will be long remembered by the community as one of the most successful and interesting theatrical achievements of our school. YEAR’S ACTIVITIES CONCLUDE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16th” cast gathers at rehearsal for picture. Elmer Sweeney (Gary Garner), tells Flint (Tim Dial) his inter- pretation of the crime. Analyzing the actions of his client is Defense Attorney Stevens (Steve Kirk) while John Graham Whitfield (Steve Stahl) looks on. WITH EXCELLENT SENIOR PLAY . . . Angered by an insinuation, John Graham Whitfield (Steve Stahl) rises to object. Wife of the deceased Bjorn Faulkner, Nancy Lee Faulkner (Nancy Jerden) displays her emo- tions to the court. Moved by the testimonies, Sig- urd Junquist (Joe Maddox) threat- eningly approaches the judge from the audience. . . .AND SENIORS ARE BID “ALOHA” AT ’69 PROM’S “ISLE OF GOLDEN DREAMS” Mark and the Marksmen Couples await the announcement of King and Queen” On Saturday evening, April 19, the ballroom of the Ambassador Inn was transformed into the “Isle of Golden Dreams”. After the banquet the 1969 Prom began as M.C. Bob Fortney intro- duced Greg Lockett, Junior Class Pres- ident, and Steve Stahl, Senior Class Pres- ident, for a few words. Music for the dance was provided by “Mark and the Marksmen.” Couples had pictures taken against a beautiful Hawaiian scene painted by Nancy Jer- den. The class will and Phrophecy was read by Tim Dial. Queen Deloris Pras- un and King Ken Lake were crowned by Judy Sebok, the returning Prom Queen. At the stroke of 12:00 the location changed to the YMCA for the after- prom. After the activities of pool, ping-pong, swimming, a movie, and dancing to “The Boys and Berry”, 6:00 found several exhausted partici- pants. 28 New nobility of 1969 Prom!

NIANTIC’S STUDENT COUNCIL has worked diligently to mark this year as a memorable one for NHHS students. Dave Meador presided over the group of eleven members with the assistance of Mr. Jump, sponsor. Mr. Angus, for- mer sponsor, was relieved of his position when illness forced him to retire. A branch of the Council is the Student-of-the-Month Committee. Its function is to elect two Seniors monthly whose academic and extracurricular achievements deserve rec- ognition. Steve Kirk served as president of the MCASC. THE MERIDIAN CONFERENCE ASSOCIATION OF STUDENT COUNCILS, a vital part of our council’s activities, was in its first year of operation during the 1968-69 school session. This group was composed of student council mem- bers from the twelve conference schools. “Activities plus” were the key words for MCASC’s opening year. To encourage school spirit, the members awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy to Tower Hill whose student body displayed outstanding support of its basketball team. Also during this season, girls representing each school competed for the title of Meridian Conference Queen; which was won by our own candidate, Kathy McCammack. A dance held at Illiopolis offered students the opportunity to meet those from other communities. With such an impressive beginning, the Association plans to further mutual understanding among students in the Mer- idian Conference. Seated: Sue Snoeycnbos, Sylvia Parish, co-editors.

THE TATTLER. OUR SCHOOL NEWSPAPER, serves as a means of informing the community and other nearby areas of the happenings in the Niantic school system. Read- ers of the Tatler learn of the various activities that occur throughout the year and the students participating in them. The articles cover a wide range of interests such as sports, club functions, outstanding student accomplishments, and important future events. Also included is information con- cerning former NHHS pupils and residents of the commun- ity. The paper even serves as an outlet for any editorial writer who wants to make his opinions known on a subject of controversy. The Tattler staff, composed entirely of Seniors, pub- lished six issues of the paper this year averaging 800 copies with each issue. Circulation includes former students and advertisers listed in the paper. The staff budgets their pub- lications on $600 raised through selling advertising early in the school year. Our school board shows its support by pay- ing the cost of mailing the papers of each issue and by spon- soring the last issue which is usually the largest. The Tattler has, for another year, carried on the tradition of being one of the better papers published by the smaller schools. SPONSORED BY MT.

MEMBERS OF THE ECHO STAFF are those Seniors who have an artistic flair for writing and a general interest in journalism. This year, students of the junior class were invited to learn the different aspects of making a yearbook by helping the present staff write copy, lay out pages, and crop pictures. Funds for publication of the yearbook are raised through advertising sold by the Senior class in the early fall. Year- book sales got into full swing in March for the Seniors when an assembly was held for the student body to rouse inter- est in the book and promote sales. The class set a goal at selling 300 books. After giving a very successful assembly, a record number of 325 books were ordered. SPONSORED BY SCHOOL PICTURES, INC.

WINDOWS OF ATHLETICS ARE OPEN THE GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION welcomes any high school girl who enjoys participating in sports of all kinds. This organization gives all the girls a chance to devel- op their abilities in such fields as bowling, swimming, and ice skating. Not only the greatness of winning but the es- sence of sportsmanship when losing is a lesson well learned by the girls during competition in tournaments such as base- ball, basketball, and soccer. A Mother-Daughter Banquet is a yearly spring event plan- ned by the club members. Awards for outstanding partici- pation are handed out and the GAA Girl of the Year is hon- ored. The “sleep in”, a slumber party held in the gym, was a first for the GAA members this year. The 50 girls attending spent the sleepless night eating pizza and working out on the gymnastic equipment. Every GAA girl agrees that her participation in this club is one of the highlights of her daily schedule. AWARDS for outstanding participation in GAA were given to: Melissa Bailey, fresh, (far left); Joyce Cochran, soph, (upper left); Barb Reynolds, sr. (upper right); and Sue Damery, jr. (far right). Deloris Prasun, sr. (lower center) received the Girl-of-the-Year award. Mrs. Smith, center of pic- ture, was the sponsor for GAA for the second semester. 36 Row 1: Hillery Brock, Stanley Songcr.

TO BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS AT NHHS Varsity club membership is considered quite a rewarding experience to all the athletes who have received letters in any of the sports offered at Niantic. This or- ganization, under the supervision of Mr. Jump, was a major contribution to the year’s routine for twenty-two athletes this year. Interest in the club is promoted by the different activities in which the members participate. The boys go on a picnic in the spring and attend a major sporting event of some kind during the latter months of the school year. By selling popcorn at the home basketball games, the organization earns the funds used to enjoy such activities. At right: Varsity club members on the football team were given a free ride in the homecoming parade. Below, Roger Thomas and Roy Patton find that being varsity lettermen includes the taks of oper- ating the popcorn machine. AMERICA THE FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA is our school’s main means of teaching the skills of homemaking to young girls and helping them apply such skills daily. With the assistance of Mrs. Theobald, the chapter advisor, the girls were kept busy all year with several various pro- jects, involving the club members and the student body.

PARTICIPATION IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS gives each member an opportunity to engage in different crafts and develop his industrial talents. Under the guidance of Mr. Finfrock, sponsor of the organization for a third year, the boys learn the value of accuracy in construction and the re- wards from becoming skillful in industrial work. The most satisfying reward is the Gold Hammer Award, presented yearly to the outstanding Senior member. The members are frequently called upon to put their knowledge of carpenter work to use by designing and build- ing any type of construction needed by our school and com- munity. The Industrial Arts Club is certainly vital in the services it performs. The club’s funds were in good shape financially this year. With the income from candy sales in the fall, the boys treat- ed themselves to a feast at the Redwood Restaurant.

During membership they gain an understanding of what a teacher’s position is and the qualities, traits and aptitudes basic to successful teaching. Juniors and Senior Class FTA mem- bers are permitted to do actual teaching in any of the grade school, junior high or high school classes that interest them. This year came alive with a showing of slides taken by Mr. Maffett when he traveled to Jamacia on an educational tour. The slides showed several aspects of their school sys- tem, which are very different from our own. Later in the year, Mr. Fred Hattabaugh, from Eastern 111. University, was a guest speaker on the life in a univer- sity. Bake sales proved to be the club’s most profitable way of strengthening the treasury. STUDENTS HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP STUDENT LIBRARIANS find that there are quite a few things to do in the library besides checking out books. Various mem- bers of this group help Mrs. Maffett prepare new books for the shelves, fill out and de- liver overdue notices, refile books, or straighten shelves.

NIANTIC-HARRISTOWN HIGH SCHOOL has had a successful year in Drama Club. Drama students were sent to various colleges for dramatic instruc- tion. New members were added. All in all, this was a very productive year for President Nancy Jerden and advisor Mr. Earle Smith EXPERIENCE is the best teacher, as Drama Club members Lyla Orrison, seated, and Nancy Jerden and Tim Dial have learned. Nancy was accepted at the U. of I. Theatre Workshop in the summer of 1968. Tim and Lyla attended the Theatre Workshop at Southern 111. University during the same summer. All three students agree that their knowledge of acting, stage design, costum- ing and other aspects of the theatre has in- creased their interest in dramatics.

OFFICE CADETS are girls who have a free period and are willing to help the secretary in the office. They must have a “C” average and it is help- ful if they can type. Some of the duties are collecting the absent slips and re- cording them, filing, typing, answering the phone, running errands. Their ser- vices give them an opportunity to learn as well as help the secretary. They are a vital part of the high school office.

Shelley Songer, treasur- er; Carlcne Carr and Martha Zeigler. secretaries; and Steve Stahl, president. The Niantic-Harristown High School Band is perhaps the most active of all our organizations, being many bands in one. In the fall, the marching band is busy entertaining the audiences at home football games with pre ame and half time field shows. During the winter, our pep band furnishes music at the basketball games and pep assemblies. The concert band works diligently all year round by par- ticipating in the Macon County Music Festival, the High School District Band Contest and various holiday parades throughout the area. The annual spring concert, open to the community, was based this year on “Themes From the Best of Television”. This was the third year for Mr. Donald Reigel, who also directs the junior high and grade school bands and coaches those musicians who compete in the solo and ensemble mus- sic contests. Like other organizations, our band found ways of boost- ing its treasury this year by selling dish towels and popcorn. The earned money will strengthen the band-uniform fund, buying uniforms for future members. Row 1: Carla Stahl, Martha Zeigler, Kim Lyman, Cindy Ranklin, Susan Maddox. Sandy Timmons.

A LOOK AT OUR NEWEST ORGANIZATION Miss Pat Rassitor, a Millikin music major, was a student teacher at our school during the early spring. As shown in the picture above, her directing methods and general assistance projected her excep- tional talent in music and teaching. Here, she and Mr. Maffett re- view a number with Sylvia Parish, pianist. AFTER FOUR YEARS without a choral program, Ni- antic is again reflecting its abilities through a girls’ ensem- ble. Mr. Maffett’s instruction aids the girls in developing a genuine awareness of vocal music and learning the funda- mentals of choral music such as sight reading and harmony singing. Being a freshly organized group, the girls did not lack eagerness to show off their talents and make several per- formances. Their singing was enjoyed by the Women’s Club Convocation, the Macon County Teachers’ Institute, and audiences at the Macon County Choral Festival, Spring Con- cert, and Christmas Assembly. They offered their music to the neighboring schools when they participated in the Mer- idian Conference Exchange Assemblies. The Senior girls of the ensemble gave their final performance with the group at the commencement exercises. As time passes, Mr. Maffett hopes to enlarge the ensem- ble and engage some of Niantic’s male musicians in singing. 44 liiPlP I , I ___L, 1 'j_ SPORTS A LOOK AT Rick Parish, Joel Spcasl, Gary Garner.

N-H BASEBALL A WINNER’S SPORT The Niantic-Harristown High School Indian baseball team completed, what was to many, a very successful season. Even though the overall record was 4-6, the Indians won their District Tourney for the first time in 7 years. Rainouts, as usual, forced cancellation of many ball games. The Indians defeated strong Meridian foes Findlay and Blue Mound. In the district, Niantic-Harristown defea- ted Illiopolis 9-4 and Mt. Auburn 3-1 on the 4-hit pitching of Chuck Claypool. Chuck had a 4-5 mark as the team’s leading pitcher. The Indians were in every ball game except one, losing to Mt. Zion 10-2. Chuck Claypool led the Indians also in hitting with a .266 average followed closely by Bing Furstenberg, Tom Koonce, Dick Waddell, and Dan Carr. The Indians featured an air tight defense in most cases that proved to be very tough for opponents. The defense featured Tom Koonce at catcher, Dan Carr and Leonard Williams at first, Hillery Brock on second, Rex King at shortstop, Dick Waddell play- ing third, and Stan Songer, Bing Furstenberg, Steve Orr, and L. W. Kidd in the outfield. Losing only Chuck Claypool to graduation, the Indians will feature an experienced team defensively next season. 48 Each year, Niantic takes part in the Meridian Conference tournament. This year was a little different however, since it was the first year of the queen contest. Twelve conference schools participated by sending representatives. Ten schools sent Seniors, and two sent Juniors. Niantic was one of these two. OUR GIRL IS MERIDIAN QUEEN Kathy McCammack was up against tough competition from the start. Each girl was the choice of all her fellow stu- dents. The girls were selected by their poise, appearance, personality, and academic skills. The judges conducted a personal interview with each girl to determine which ones were best qualified in the above categories. Miss Nancy Stone accompanied Kathy to these interviews. On Monday, Dec. 2, Kathy became the first Meridian Conference Queen. She was escorted to her throne by Mr. H. L. Angus, and crowned by our own Steve Kirk, president of the Meridian Conference Association of Student Coun- cils. Even as a queen, Kathy was still a Niantic cheerleader. She helped cheer our team on to a 72-56 victory over Mo- weaqua that same evening. As Kathy put it, “I don’t think 1 can take all this excitement in one night.” 9 Steve Orr Coach Tomlinson Asst.

GRIDS CLENCH 1st WINNING SEASON SPONSORED BY WALTER STAHL-DEKALK Coach Rick Perry’s first year as head football coach at Ni- antic-Harristown High proved to be quite successful as the Indians compiled a record of six wins, one loss, and one tie. Assistant coach, Tom Hopkins, was also making his first year debut. The 1968 squad was the first in Niantic foot- ball history to have a winning season. The season opener matched N-H and Moweaqua on home grounds. The Indians led all the way and won, 27 to 20. The second game was also at home with Illiopolis as the guests. Niantic led in the first quarter, 6-0, but at the gun it was N-H 6, Illiopolis 6. Game number three was an- other victory for Niantic as Maroa fell 19-0. Next came the Homecoming game, our fourth straight home game. The Indians scored touchdowns in the first, second and third quarters to whip Argenta 18-0. Niantic’s fifth game took them to Bethany where, at halftime, the score read Bethany 12, Niantic 6. The Indians scored twice in both the third and fourth quarters to romp Bethany, 31 to 12. Going into the sixth game, NH was undefeated. Then came the game with Assumption, and as it turned out, the conference title game. Niantic had an early lead of 12-0. at the half the score was 19-6; however Assumption won the game 32-19. The seventh game matched N-H and Lovington. The In- dians trailed 7-0 in the first quarter. The final score showed Niantic on top 31-7. The season’s final was another success. Macon was cut down 20-6 on the Indian’s hunting grounds There were several important factors that aided in the team’s success for the season. On offense it was Chuck Claypool passing to Lyle Clark that posed a constant threat to Niantic opponents. Chuck threw at least one touchdown pass in every game plus three against both Moweagua and Bethany. Tom Koonce was a running threat, the conference’s lead- ing scorer with 61 points. He ran for three touchdowns against Assumption. Tom’s longest run was 84 yards for a touchdown against Lovington. The offensive team averaged 21.6 points per game. The defense was outstanding all season and opponents averaged 10.4 points per game.

He passed for 15 touchdowns and had 13 passes in- tercepted. Chuck’s 6’2”, 200 pound frame helped him gain 346 yards and score 4 more touchdowns on ground plays as he carried 97 times. Several times he was called upon to punt the Indians out of a tight spot averaging 36 yards a punt. Chuck also intercept- ed one pass and made 86 tackles as a defensive middle linebacker. This year Chuck was voted All-Conference, Most Valuable Player, and Big Indian and received honorable mention in the Lit- tle All-State listings. Arkansas State University has awarded Chuck with a full four year scholarship. Tom Kooncc Flanker, Lyle Clark was important to the squad as he totaled 25 pass re- ceptions, scored 6 touchdowns and gained 435 yards for the Indians. Lyle also played the defensive end position. The 5’8”, 150 pound senior made the Little All-State 1st team and was nam- ed All-Conference as an offensive back. Junior standout, Tom Koonce, filled one halfback position.

CHEERLEADERS: VARSITY Varsity cheerleaders attended cheerleading camp last June and re- turned with several rib- bons and lots of new cheers. Both squads work hard on cheers and skits to arouse school spirit in support of our team. Along with the cheer- leaders, we select a school mascot each year. Her contributions to school spirit includes as- sisting the cheerleaders in cheers, skits and the school song. Pep assem- blies are usually high- lighted with a victory dance by our “Indian”.

Sometimes I want to lie in bed all day and think or dream, but people won’t leave me alone. They ask what do you want to do, what do you want to be, who are you? Who knows? Except that I want to be special. Occasionally I am truly amazing! I can get out of P.E. at least twice a week, write a term paper in five days, shoot ten straight baskets (and still miss the decisive free throw in a tournament), plan all week for a date (but not be ready on time), and until last year I could excuse my mistakes by calling myself an underclassman.

Graduation seemed so far off, but now it has passed ... the last home game ... the last spring fling- wait world you move too fast.
