its to uou . . . The 1981 Acorn Volume LXIV Oakwood Dear Reader, What is a typical day like for a student at Oakwood Township High School? Or can we define a ‘'typical” day? The life of a student at OTHS may not be typical,” but it is surely interesting. Everyone seems to want to do their own thing, yet they want to be like everyone else too. As much as the students are alike and different, so are the days that we spend here. Sure, we sometimes get bored here, but aren’t there just as many fun-filled times as there are boring ones? However you may feel about this high school, it has been a part of your life which you cannot erase. So, please, take a look at us — the students of Oakwood High School and relate the pages of these magazines to your days spent here.

Since LIFE encapsulates major events of the school year, this section acts as a bridge between the U.S. introductory section and the following three magazines, which offer expanded coverage of specific areas of high school life. In the following pages, we have presented the events which offered opportunities for involvement to students, staff, and area persons. We have also included several feature stories which we felt would interest students of our area. LIFE offers a lighthearted focus on the memory-making elements of the 1980-81 school year. We hope that our efforts have captured some special moments for you. Sincerely. Debbie Wade.

It was constructed at the home of Kim Pricer with the help of many dedicated class members. The part of the witch was played by Kim Green, and the part of the devil was played by Bill Dalbey. At right: The Comettes flout won the organization division trophy with its theme of Catch That Comet Spirit. The float was designed by Micki Sadler and the Comettes found time, even with their busy schedule, to construct it. The 1980-81 Homecoming Parade look olace October 18th. The parade started at Seymore Field in Oakwood and ended at Oakwood United Methodist Church. Entered in the parade were the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior floats. Other floats entered were the FFA, FHA, Comettes, Kickers, and a new float this year; the Alumni float for the queens. COMET POWER MARCHES ON! 3 Homecoming 1980 was a special time that will long be remembered in everyone’s minds. The festivities got underway with the traditional bonfire. This year, the bonfire was held October 17 at 6:30 p.m. at the high school. The cheerleaders led everyone in sideline cheers and spirit yells as the fire cracked and blazed. The big “O was set afire, and the football players could be seen braving the leap through. Due to the lack of cooperation from the students, there was no pyramid contest. When the fire had burned down, everyone went into the cafereria to dance and listen to the music of Trafalgar. The members of Trafalgar were from the Oakwood area, and their guest drummer was Ryan Downing. Ryan is a freshman at O.H.S. and taught himself how to play. The bonfire ended at 9:00 p.m. without the usual snake drive. The snake drive was called off because in the past years people have abused the privilege by being destructive. On October 18 at 2:00 p.m., the mighty Oakwood Comets met the Bismark-Henning Blue Devils on the Comets' home field and the battle began. The Comet rusher for the big Homecoming game was John DeRay. Receiving DeRay’s passes were seniors, Bruce Harrison and Randy Mitchell, sophomore, David Tellier, and freshman, Randy Durbin. The Comets' top tacklers were Randy Mitchell, John Wright, Brian Crow, and David Tellier. It was a long and hard game which ended with the Comets being defeated, but a good game nonetheless. The Comet fans were pleased with the team's effort, and in everyone's hearts it did emerge a winner. The game was a good one, with plenty of excitement for everyone. 4 Homecoming week was one that was filled with much excitement. Everyone had a good time dressing up for all the days of the week. Since we did not attend school on Monday. Tuesday was Wild Wild West Day, Wednesday was “P.J. Day. Thursday was Toga Day, and Friday was Passionate Purple Day. The students most supportive of Homecoming week were Kim Green and Todd Lee. On Friday, there was a big assembly, which began with the school song performed by the cheerleaders and Comettes. After that, there was a big uproar of laughter from the crowd as the male faculty came out dressed as cheerleaders. There was a $1.98 beauty contest for the men. Mr. Wittman went away with the title. There was also a “Pie in the Eye contest held to see which of six teachers would be the one to receive a “Pie in the Eye.” The six teachers chosen were Coach Eaton, Coach Gross, Miss Bahnke, Mr. Waters, Mr. Carr, and Mrs. Wickham. In the end all of the six got their very own pie. There was a skit performed by the cheerleaders and Comettes which everyone enjoyed, and then it was time for the spirit yell. The seniors left that day holding the jug. All in all. Homecoming week was a big success. 5 6 Crownbearer Eric and Flower girl Sherry Adams “We've Got Tonight” We've Got Tonight appropriately fits the feelings of all who attended Oakwood Township High School's 1980 Homecoming. The evening began when at 8:00 the doors were opened and the band Goliath began to play. The fun and excitement of the nights activities were at a most high, when at 10:00 King Bart Lock and Queen Debi Tellier were announced. For the remainder of the evening, Debi and Bart reigned over all. This year O.T.H.S. can proudly say that this dance was the perfect ending of a perfect day.

Host for the two-and-a-half hour program was Charles Mitchell, superintendent of the Muncie-Fithian school district. In April, the Village Board of Oakwood declared the 17th of May Edna Michael Day. There followed days of planning and secrecy to prepare the event without informing Miss Michael of the grand event. During the celebration, Miss Michael received congratulations from representatives of the many organizations of which she has been a part. The major gift presented was $2,100, collected by area residents and students. Miss Michael taught at Oakwood from 1934 to 1948. She left Oakwood to teach at Riverside-Brookfield High School, where she completed her teaching career in 1968. After her “retirement, she returned to her hometown of Muncie and began volunteering her time to area schools and churches. Edna Michael Day was a way for all the people whose lives Miss Michael has touched to express their appreciation to her. As the Muncie Baptist Church choir sang, “Thanks be to God for Miss Michael.” I wish to thank each of you most sincerely for your contribution toward making the Recognition Day in my honor a most memorable one. The gift will be used to benefit the schools in some way. Edna Michael Once Each Year, Let s SWAP Parents take notes in Mr. Nixon’s Consumer Ed. Government class. SWAP Day, started in 1976 by Mr. Arbuckle, is a day looked forward to, both by students and parents. This year there were 200 parents that “swapped” places with their children. The “students, as the parents were referred to, were rewarded a diploma and an apple at the end of the day for their superior behavior. SWAP Day is also a ttying day for teachers. They probably have the hardest time of all. They can’t really teach, but they want the parents to know what the course their child is taking is all about. To all the faculty, thank you, SWAP Day “80 was a big success. = gg3: Paula Tellier. deeply involved in a book. Every year, the Student Council sponsors Student Council Week. Despite the lack of support from the student body, the days of the week went on. Monday was Fanatical Fluorescent Day, Tuesday was Hollywood Blvd. Day, Wednesday was Nerd Day, Thursday was Racey Red Day, and Friday was Tourist Day. On Friday, the Student Council sponsored a Talent Show. The participants. Lu Ann Cox and Linda Holzer, Randee Fleming and Micky Sadler, Scott Juvinall and John McNamara, The Speech Class, Pam and Brenda Richter, Renee Davis, and John Bales and John Needham, all competed for a prize of twenty-five dollars. The Speech Class’s skit took the prize. The people responsible for organizing the talent show were Donna Lazzell, Debbie Wade, and Diana Livingston. We would like to thank them for all their time they put into making this show a success. We would also like to thank the student body. They were a fine audience when others were performing, and everyone who performed was pleased with their behavior. Let’s hope that next year more people will come out of the shadows and show us their talents!

The Singing Bridge, located on the Catlin-Oakwood road over the Salt Fork River, sang because of the passing of vehicles over its metal floor. Death of Bridge Silences “Singing” The Singing Bridge was a one-lane bridge and very unsafe. It was recently replaced by a two-lane concrete structure bridge. The old bridge was eventually torn down. 15 Transfor- mations Startle Oakwood The Village of Oakwood has noticed some transformations lately: one of the more beautiful is the new Floyd Lee home. It replaced the old Masonic Temple, but retained much of the original brickwork, (see photo and inset above) Another transformation is that of the closing of the old part of the building at Oakwood Grade School. This closing and busing of some students to Newtown caused much concern among Oakwood parents, (see photo at right) 16 The old salt kettle. 4 miles east of Oakwood on U.S. 150. Salt kettles were used to gain pure salt from the earth. Saline water was taken from deep wells and boiled until all the water evaporated. One could get approximately two ounces of salt from a gallon of water. In 1824, Major John W. Vance came from Ohio and purchased the claims to the salt springs. He brought 24 kettles from Louisville. Kentucky, to the mouth of the Stony Creek. From there they were hauled by ox teams to the present place five miles west of Danville. The salt business was a booming one until 1830, when salt fields were discovered in western Illinois and the business slumped.

If you're out on the town and getting ready to decide where to go to eat, where do you go? Do you go somewhere fancy, nice, and more expensive like COUNTRY INN in Champaign, or do you settle for the more relaxed atmosphere of PIZZA INN in Danville? First we'll take a look at the fancier of the two restaurants, COUNTRY INN. Here you find a warm, cozy atmosphere, tables for two — the kind of place your date would take you before a dance, or to make a good impression. The prices aren't all that expensive, and you have a variety of different meals. You can have anything from Beef Stroganoff to hamburgers, for between $6.00 and $12.00. And for a more informal atmosphere, a very casual setting, and less expensive prices, you don't have to look far. Right here, in Danville, you will find PIZZA INN. Its menu ranges in the Italian line: spaghetti, lasagna, and, of course, pizza! PIZZA INN is also well known for having the best salad bar in Vermilion County. The prices range anywhere from $3.00 to $10.00. depending on what you want to eat. PIZZA INN is patronized by area high school students after dances, ball games, or just when someone gets the hungries! These restaurants are only two of the many fine restaurants within driving distance of Oakwood students. They are a representative sample taken from a student poll. 31 Do it in Danville. Before, it was thought impossible; what did Danville offer? Nothing. But that was before last fall when the Danville Civic Center was opened. Now concerts and ice skating, cmong other things thought to be achieved only by going to Indianapolis, Chicago, or Champaign, can now be found right here in downtown Danville. Since the beginning, when the Civic Center was opened, it has been a success. Danville held its first concert, HEAD EAST, last September, and other well known personalities such as Johnny Cash, the Statler Brothers, and the Harlem Globetrotters have made appearances at the Danville Civic Center. Besides having well-known celebrities make appearances, Danville Civic Center offers the use of the Civic Center for various local exhibits. Some of these were the cheerleading competition last fall, ice skating held during the winter, D102 Half Price Fair, AMBUCS Home Show, among many other such displays. We believe that the area residents all agree that the construction of the Danville Civic Center is one of the best things Danville has done in years. 32 1 BRIDES COTTAGE GOOD LUCK CLASS OF Danville, III. “81” Phone 443-1579 George Maskel Complete Wedding Farm Drainage Co. and Prom Service R.R. 1 Danville 442-6439 OLAN MILLS oJgnJUiUs Holiday Square Danville, III. 61832 Phone 443-6210 HOMER GRAIN CO.

Pictured above is Allen Dysert, 1969 graduate of OTHS, an up-and-coming young actor who now stars in the soap opera ALL MY CHILDREN. But which is the real Alan, the nice, easy going man that appeared at Marketplace Square in Champaign, or the character he portrays, Sean Cudahy, a ruthless, good for nothing trouble maker? The choice is yours. Alan appeared this last March at Marketplace Square. Marketplace is one of the most popular shopping centers in the area; because it is near, has a variety of shops, and a spacious shopping area, it is patronized by many people. Also located at Marketplace Square are the Marketplace Theaters (pictured right). They consist of four separate theaters, all conveniently located in one building. They are also one of the more popular theater complexes in the area. Other popular theaters are the Fisher, the Palace, the Times, and the Village Mall Cinemas, all located in Danville. There were many good movies this year, such as Ordinary People, The Elephant Man, Tess, and 9 to 5. Movies are a good and fairly inexpensive way of entertaining for people of all ages. 34 In March. 1981, you could see Cheaper to Keep Her, All Night Long; The Sound of Music; or The Fun House — all showing at Marketplace. New experience: the first vote Laurel McClure is a senior at Oakwood High School. She turned eighteen this year, so she went to vote for the first time. During the 1980 presidential election, she went to vote for a president at the community room on the square in Oakwood. These are some of the responses that she had about the election after we asked her how she felt about the election in general. One of the main reasons why I voted was because it made me feel like I'm a responsible adult. I was also proud to serve my country in the way of being a registered voter. It really makes me feel like an adult in the way that I can make my own decisions on whom I wish to be president. I feel I made the right choice on whom I voted for. I hope that the students in the coming years will go and vote just as I did; it will give them a great feeling, just as it did me. You can be sure that I'll be at the polls ready to vote next year. Others that did not vote had remarks such as they felt that it wasn't important, that they didn't have the time, or they just didn’t want to. Laurel enters with ballot in hand .. and exits w ith a triumphant smile! Sadie Hawkins ’81 Freshmen do it again! March 23-27 was Sadie Hawkins Week. The days of the week were, Monday — Buttons and Bows Day, Tuesday — Clash Day, Wednesday — Bib Day, Thursday — Red on Thursday, and Friday — Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae Day. Friday night, the Comettes sponsored the annual Sadie Hawkins dance from 7-10 p.m. The Comettes would like to thank everyone who participated in the activities of Sadie Hawkins.

The final preparations! % Miss Grady gives last minute instructions. “T H E M O U S E T H A T R O A R E D” Once upon a time, in the spring of 1981, at OTHS, a play was put on. This was no ordinary play you see, because this play did go on, and on schedule. Oakwood had its last play three years ago, in the spring of 78, and since that time, we've seemed to have problems getting the show on the road. But with the help of Miss Anne Grady, our advisor, we did it. The play opened on the evening of April 16, 1981, and was a smashing success. The story' is about a little mouse of a country, Grand Fenwick, which was founded in the fourteenth century, and their declaration of war on the United States. Now this may seem ridiculous, but Grand Fenwink was on the verge of bankruptcy, and on seeing how after each war the U.S. was involved in, and how the U.S. built those countries back up after they were defeated, the idea was not so ridiculous as it seemed. But there was a problem that no one could have foreseen. The men of Grand Fenwick, in their Robin Hood outfits, and long bows, invaded New York City, and won! They captured the feared Q-bomb. Threatening to activate the detonator if they didn't receive the money, the U.S. granted the wishes of Gloriana XII, sovereign of Grand Fenwick, with a price of 1,000,000 in cash. Not too much when you consider what the consequences could have been! The cast of characters include: Gloriana XII — Diana Livingston; Tully Bascom — |ohn Bales; Count Mountjoy — Scott Juvinall; David Benter — Scott Blake; Mrs. Bascom — Debbie Wade; Professor Kokintz — Bruce Fink; President of the U.S. — Todd Livingston; Mary — Betsy Swick; )ane — Randee Fleming; Fran — Ellen Longstreth; Pam — Penny Divan; General Snippet! — Tony Walton; Jill Snippet! — Kelly Carnahan; Debbie Snipped — Michelle Darling; Mr. Beston — Ron Wolfe; Will Tatum — Alex Holbrook; Page Announcer — Teresa Burgin; Norma — Donna Lazzell; Helen — Kim Green; Ann — DeEtta Samson; Miss Wilkins — Angie Leahy; Miss |ohnson — Laura Ellis; Assistant — Steve Saults; Professor Smith — Kim Pricer; Mrs. Reiner — Renee Davis; Soldier — Chip Childress; Soldier — Brian Claypool. 39 You tell him.

Box 5 Fithian, IL 41 CO UNTRY B UMPKINS Bob Fourez — (Jr.) - “I believe the life in the country is one ofa quiet atmosphere where it's just you and nature alone to sort out your problems. It is being close to farming the land that really makes you feel important, even though it’s viewed as an ‘earthy’ occupation. Lu Ann Cox — (Sr.) — ‘‘I prefer the country because you feel a sense; of freedom. You have more room to do more things at home. You can have as many pets as you want, you can grow your own food, and best of all you can be alone if you want. 42 AND CITY SLICKERS Gary Haas — (Sr.) — The main advantage of living in a rural area is that there is usually somebody around and something to do. I live near enough to the city to be close to things that are going on and far enough from the country so as not to be secluded. The main reason that I have for living where I do is that is where my parents live. Christy Hedges — There is always someone around if you w'ant to talk or if you need help with anything. I live close enough to where I can go shopping or find something to do to keep me busy. But most of all the best thrill is living next to Mrs. Steffen. Ha! Ha! 43 The Oakwood High School Band sponsored Free Fare to come and sing at the end of September. The O.H.S. Band advisor, Mr. Parkhurst, heard about Free Fare from an advertisement in the mail. Mr. Keever and Mr. Parkhurst talked about having the band come and sing for the student body over the summer. Free Fare is based in Florida. There are about eight different bands which travel from Mexico to Alaska. All of the bands are religiously oriented but they don't sing religious songs. Instead they sing the popular rock songs. The O.H.S. Band pro-fitted about two to three hundred dollars from the Free Fare Concert. This money spent was for music, for the trip the band takes at the end of the school year, and for odds and ends the band needs. One of the band’s singers sings a love song to Mary Lou Thompson. Bruce Juran portrays R2 D2. as Mr. Wittman (C-3PO) taps him on the head. The band does its final number during the assembly. 44 The band.

ANDERSON — HONORED FOR • DEDICATION IN ACTION The 1981 Acorn Staff wishes to dedicate this year’s annual to Mrs. Lynn Anderson. Before coming to OTHS in 1975, Miss Lynn Medsker taught at a junior high school in the physical education field. She was also the pom-pon sponsor, which sparked her interest in initiating a dance group at OTHS. Mrs. Anderson started at OTHS in 1975. She taught five years of health and is now teaching her first year of girls’ P.E. Comettes. a dance drill team which she started her first year, has helped the girls associated with it grow through her extra time and guidance. She also participates and helps others by taking her place as assistant coach in girls’ basketball and girls’ track. Mrs. Anderson possesses a positive attitude and a strong school spirit. This concern toward school activities is shown by hall decorations, treats, and her overall moral support. She is a lady with a high set of morals and standards and respect, and she expects the same of others. Mrs. Anderson is much more than a teacher; she exhibits understanding not only toward her students, but also toward fellow faculty and peers. One could not ask for a better person to go to for advice, or to tell a problem to. She is one super-terrific lady, and we are privileged to dedicate this annual to her. So, for all the things you do. we thank you for being a teacher, a coach, and a friend. 1980-81 ACORN STAFF 3 MARGOT RESENDEZ: Oakwood High School’s First Exchange Student Margot's family: front: Veronica and Rebecca Back: Margot. Mom. and Ruben. Margot and her father share a moment on the day she came to Illinois. At the beginning of the year, everyone’s eyes were searching for the face of none other than Margot Resendez. Yes, this year Oakwood High hosted it’s first foreign exchange student. Margot is from Monterrey. Mexico, which has a population of nearly 2,000,000. That’s no comparison with Oakwood’s 1400. She filled out an application and was chosen from an agency in New York to become an exchange student. Margot’s family consists of one brother, two sisters, and her parents. Her father is an electrical engineer, and her mother is a teacher and counselor. Margot has already finished high school in Mexico. Students only attend eleven years. In Mexico high schools contain only tenth and eleventh grades. In Monterrey there are four high schools. Each contain around four hundred students. Unjversidad de Monterrey, where Margot attended belongs to a nearby university. At Universidad de Monterrey students are required to take seven subjects, not including P.E. or art. These classes are the basics such as math, English, and science. Students have no choice in the courses they take. All are college preparatory courses. The students must take seven to pass. If three subjects are failed, everything must be taken over. Margot says the students seem to care more about education in Mexico than those in Illinois. She said in Mexico, if you have no job, you are nowhere. Monterrey has sports, but no cheerleaders, and there aren’t many organizations. Margot is presently living with the O’Neills in Fithian. When she has finished her year at Oakwood, Margot plans to attend college either in Texas or Mexico. She says that if she decides to study medicine, she will go back to Mexico because the years of study are shorter. Texas will be her choice if she decides to study agronomy. Margot’s smiling face will go back home after school is out but we will not forget this school year. She was welcomed warmly and will be missed greatly.

PROPRIETOR DANVILLE, IL 61832 7 District 76 LOSES LEADER AFTER FIVE YEARS Unit 76 Superintendent Theodore Hulvey will be leaving the district this year, after being here for four years. He came here in 1976 and will be leaving this summer. Mr. Hulvey has had a long and distinguished career in the field of education. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from Illinois State University; a Master of Science Education degree also from ISU; a high school teaching certificate from the University of Illinois; and allgrade supervision certificate (K-14); and a Chief School Business Officials’ Certificate. He has spent nine years as a classroom teacher, primarily in the area of general science. He has spent five years as an elementary principal and five years as superintendent prior to coming to Oakwood Unit District 76. He came to Unit 76 after being selected from a wide field of applicants. 1981 will mark his 24th year in education. Mr. Hulvey has a few words for Oakwood students and faculty as he prepares to leave Unit 76. He says that Oakwood has a good educational program. one that has had significant improvements during the last three to four years. He also says that Unit 76 has had many accomplishments during his term as superintendent. He listed these as most significant; passage of a sixty-cent tax rate increase in the fall of 1976, the development of a unified curriculum throughout the school district in all subject areas, a written curriculum for most of the subject areas to be completed by the end of 1980-81; the establishment of an elementary art program, and. as a reflection on improving high school equipment, the purchase of new woodworking tables for the woodshop and the establishment of a metal shop and the purchase of needed equipment. Mr. Hulvey says that without the cooperation of the faculty, staff, administration. Board of Education, and district taxpayers, none of the above ever could have happened. Mr. Hulvey had this to say: “I’ve certainly enjoyed my five years here at Oakwood. I have greatly appreciated the cooperation of the faculty, staff. students, and people of the community with whom I've worked. He had this advice to Oakwood students; ‘‘Do the best with the abilities you have.” Mr. Hulvey does not really know what he will be doing once he leaves the district, but with his long list of credentials and accomplishments, he should have no trouble finding a new job. We here at Oakwood would like to wish Mr. Hulvey good luck as he leaves Oakwood Unit District 76. 8 UNIT 76 BOARD Do you know who makes the decisions? Here's our hard-working school board: Front Row: Dean Covington. President — Ed Anderson. Bob Marble, back row: Jerry Vacketta. Jim Davis. Harry Plotner. and Allen Hedges. The school Board has kept very busy this year. Here is a list of the goals they have accomplished. 1. Replaced the roof at the high school 2. Installed new lighting in gym at Diamond grade school. 3. Piloted a program for gifted children and early prevention of school failures. 4. Purchased 3.62 acres near Oakwood Grade School for playground area, named the pro- perty Giacone Field, and installed a fence around the property. 5. Received an Energy Conservation Study Grant. 6. Completed a sewage treatment plant at Oakwood High School. 9 ALAN DYSERT: OAKWOOD GRADUATE MAKES IT BIG. 1969 graduate Alan Dysert, of All My Children fame. Sean answers the questions of a Pine Valley policeman. If you’ve ever flipped through the pictures on the wall in the east lobby, you might have noticed a familiar famous face. That goodlooking guy is none other than Alan Dysert. who plays Sean Cudahy on the soap opera All My Children. Alan, the son of Marion and Faye Dysert. graduated from Oakwood in 1969. He has one brother, Terry, who is a nuclear engineer in Chicago. Alan was the valedictorian of his class, and graduated with a perfect grade point average. During high school he was active in football, basketball, track, and O-Club. He was a member of The National Honor Society both his junior and Senior years. All four years he was the presi- dent of his class and a member of Student Council. As a member of Dramatics and Thespians. Alan had a part in several plays. After high school Alan attended the U of I, where he was a games scholar and a member of the Phi Kappi Phi. He graduated with a television arts degree. Then he moved to California and took drama classes at both San Francisco State and UCLA. Alan had a part on an episode of Soap and has done a little work on The Young and the Restless. He and his wife, Liz Dobbles, now live in New York, where All My Children is filmed. With such a successful past and present, you might wonder what Alan thinks about the future. When he was asked “Don't you have to concern yourself with the future?” Alan replied. “Oh sure, but I think I can best do that by asking what my best choice is right now. Most actors would like to do feature films, but while you’re under contract to do a show you can’t concern yourself too much about what films you’ll be doing some time in the future. As long as you work at your craft, you would hope that by the time you get finished with one project, you’ll have a choice, and at that time you’ll make the best choice. And I hope when the time comes for me. I’ll be able to do just that. Oakwood High is proud to be Alan’s alma mater. We wish him much success in his bright and promising future. 10 CHAMPION QUIZ THE OTHS JETS TEAM: WHIZZES! Front: B. Richter. T Livingston. K Alblmger. M Sadler. S Albert. D White Back Mr Goodner. J White. P Simpson. C. Thompson. M. Carnahan. M Koester. H Dunbar. The twelve members of the Oakwood JETS team had a remarkable showing this year in the Junior Engineering Technical Society testing at Danville Area Community College. The Oakwood team came in second in the district, behind Danville High School. But since DHS is a Class AA school, Oakwood came in first in the Class A bracket. The team went on to the state finals, but did not place. The JETS-TEAMS (Tests of Engineering Aptitude, Math, and Science) competion in the district is hosted by DACC. This marked the third year of the competition at the Danville college. The competition is open to any public or private high school in Illinois. It is sponsored by the Illinois Society of Professional Engineers, which also provide trophies. The competition was held February 17. Oakwood came prepared to beat their fourth place finish in the previous year’s tests. First place went to Danville. second place went to Oakwood. and third went to Hoopeston-East Lynn. Stuart Albert took a first in English and placed third in the State; Craig Thompson took a second in biology; Dave White took a third in graphics; and Harold Dunbar took a third in mathematics. Other team members included Jim White. Mike Carnahan. Mitchell Koester. Phil Simp-son. Todd Livingston. Kelly Alblinger. Brenda Richter, and Mickey Sadler. Stuart Albert, who won in English and also took the chemistry test. said. “I thought the district test was pretty easy. The state test was slightly harder. The chemistry test posed me a few problems, but English was fairly straightforward.” Craig Thompson, who placed in biology and also took the physics test, had this to say: “They were fairly easy. I didn’t think I had done too bad when I was finished ” This is Craig’s second year in the contest. He took the biology and pocket calculator tests his junior year. He also said the tests were easier this year than last year. Dave White, who placed in graphics and also took the mathematics test, said that “they were difficult, but I also liked the challenge.” Harold Dunbar, who placed in mathematics and took the physics test, said “These tests are really designed so that you have to know what you’re doing. You just can’t half-way know it.” Todd Livingston took the math and physics tests. “They were hard even if you knew your subject.” Mitchell Koester. who took the graphics test, merely had this to say. “It was hard.” Mike Carnahan is no newcomer to the competition. He took the tests his junior year. This year, he took the math and physics tests. “They were pretty hard, but it’s good to have a chance to take them.” Phil Simpson took the English test. “The test was difficult. You really had to know a lot and even then you weren’t quite sure about the answers. Surprisingly enough, I think I did better on the harder state final test than the district test.” Jim White took the English and graphics tests. “I got a fifth in graphics, but I choked on the English test.” Brenda Richter, who took the biology and chemistry tests, has also been to the JETS competition before, in her junior year. ‘ The tests this year and last year were about the same level of difficulty. But it was a good experience for me.” Kelly Alblinger took the biology and English tests. “I didn't do as well as I would have liked, but it was a good experience.” Mickey Sadler took the biology and chemistry tests. “The tests were so hard. I felt a little let down afterward. I thought I didn’t do very good. But I did pretty well, considering.” Mr Goodner. Oakwood guidance counselor and team coach, had this to say about his winning Oakwood team. “Our success at the district was based on overall consistency in different testing areas. Every team member did very well. There has to be more than a few good people on the team to win. Everyone has to be good.” 11 Mrs. Anderson and Miss Bahnke discuss plans for Hawaii. MRS. ANDERSON Mrs. Norma Anderson had taught here at OTHS for eleven years. She is familiar to biology and Spanish students. The official titles of her courses are Biology l-IV and Spanish l-IV. Before she came to Oakwood, she served as a substitute teacher in Clinton for years. She has a Bachelor of Science in Education degree from Illinois State University and is currently working for her Master’s degree at the University of Illinois. As for other educational experiences, she says “teaching here is a learning experience in itself.” She is married and has two children. Her interests are reading, needlepoint, and crocheting. But her primary interest is traveling. She has been to Mexico twice, Europe twice, and has traveled throughout the United States. She accompanied the Oakwood student trip to Europe two years ago and traveled to Hawaii this summer with another group of Oakwood students. She said of the Hawaii trip, “I’m looking forward to two weeks of sun and surf. I’m looking forward to every bit of it.” She has enjoyed her years here at Oakwood. I have to like it. or I wouldn’t stay here.” Her advice to graduating seniors this year is: “Don’t give up, and keep trying.” MISS BAHNKE Miss Jan Bahnke has taught here at Oakwood for eight years. In addition to teaching English III, she is the Annual Staff advisor and International Club advisor. She attended Danville Junior College and did her undergraduate work at Eastern Illinois University, where she majored in English. Latin, and French. She also attended the University of Illinois. She has always wanted to be a teacher. Even as a child, she taught other neighborhood children. She is well suited for the job of English teacher. She likes all languages; she especially likes the mythology which accompanies Latin. She likes needlepoint, crocheting, baking, reading, and writing. She hopes to write an epic novel some day. Her home is protected by a “terrible-tempered” cat named Aslan. But one of her primary interests is traveling. She has been to most of the 50 states and has traveled to French Canada, England, France, Holland. Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy. Morocco, and went to Hawaii this summer with a group of Oakwood students. Her ultimate goals are to go to new places, make a lot of money doing something she likes, writing a novel, and get an advanced degree. 12 MR. FOUREZ Mr. Jim Fourez and friend on Barnyard Day. This year OTHS had a change in Ag teachers. In the middle of the year. Mr. James Fourez came to the Ag Shop Mr. Fourez grew up in the Oakwood area, and attended grade school at Newtown. He went to Armstrong High School and attended college at the University of Colorado and the U of I. where he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Science. Mr. Fourez had worked as a farm manager for several years at Doane Agricultural Service until he broke off and formed Agri-Specialists Inc. to offer better service to clients. Mr. Fourez says that his philosophical view of the big world out there is summed up as. ' There ain't no free lunches.” CHARLENE LEIBACH Charlene is another new, but known face here at Oakwood. Her job consists of various tasks but the correct title is “clerical aid.” Next year, Charlene will be the cheerleading sponsor. When Charlene attended Oakwood High, her plans were to continue her education in college and study a field involving social work, but she met Blair, now her husband, and married. Her plans now are to simply raise a family. CHERYL TAPSCOTT Cheryl is the unit secretary at Oakwood. Her plans after graduating from Oakwood had been to get a job. Now that she has that job, her plans for the future have changed. She would like to move to another area and go back to school. RICK GROSS Rick graduated from OTHS in 1976. After graduation, he went to Eureka College on a basketball scholarship. From Eureka, he transfered to Illinois College in Jacksonville to major in business. He then changed majors from business to physical education and wound up back at Oakwood. He returned to Oakwood because he was looking for a job and “It's nice to come back to my alma mater.” Coach Gross enjoys his work. He feels he’s an asset to the coaching staff and in helping out with the kids because he can relate to their pro- blems by using his previous experiences. After he leaves Oakwood. Rick plans on being a basketball coach at a bigger school. He would like to have a team of consistent winners and would like to take a team to the Assembly Hall. 13 MR. WATERS Mr. Shafer and Mr Waters prepare to extinguish their birthday bonfires. Mr. Waters is our athletic director and part-time guidance counselor. He has always been around athletics, and he likes to stay in touch, so he is a referee. He also umpires softball during the summer. He, his wife Debbie, and his four year old son Matt, live in Danville. Not only does Mr. Waters have the ability to direct athletics, but he also can teach. He used to teach Drivers’ Education, and he enjoyed it. MR. SHAFER Seven years ago Mr. Shafer and a friend began a summer painting business. Every summer they paint houses, barns, and hotels. Mr. Shafer has even been known to paint cross country runners! But there’s a lot more to our algebra teacher than his work. Mr. Shafer is interested in sports, and last year he coached a winning Little League baseball team. His two sons, Robby, 13, and Ricky, 11, are also interested in sports. Camping, waterskiing, and fishing with his family are also some of Mr. Shafer’s favorite pastimes. “Leave the world a better place than you found it.” Mr. Shafer says. He certainly practices what he preaches. MR. WITTMANN The chance to be outside lured Mr. Wit-tmann into his summer painting job. He and some other coaches have been painting for about five years. Discussing coaching with the others is the most interesting part of the job for Mr. Wittmann. Our cross-country and boys’ track coach is athletic. He pitches for two soft-ball teams in the summer. He also enjoys swimming, running, and fishing. Science fiction and historical westerns are his favorite kinds of books. The most exciting part of Mr. Witt-mann’s life is his kids. Eric is 5, and Shelly is 12. He enjoys playing Atari with them. When asked for his philosophy, Mr. Wittmann replied, “Take life as it comes. Don’t worry about it. Coach Wittmann in a pensive moment. 0.

Actually, magic is more than a hobby to Gary. He loves it so much he plans to pursue a career in the fine art of illusion. Gary was born February 8, 1963. He lives with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Haas, an older brother named Scott, and younger sister, Jamie at 5V? South Lakeview, Danville. Gary first became interested in magic around his 12th birthday. He saw Mr. Magic performing at the Eastern Illinois Fairgrounds and was immediately entranced by the masterful illusions. As a result of seeing that show, he took a class taught by Mr. Magic at Danville Junior College. His parents paid the expense as a birthday present. The class covered the fundamentals of magic, teaching Gary the groundwork for future magic. The class members formed Assembly 120 of the Society of American Magicians in 1976. Gary is the present vice-president of the Danville chapter. The chapter has approximately twenty-five to thirty paying members. Since that first encounter with magic at the Eastern Illinois Fairgrounds, Gary has performed many shows of his own. utilizing what he has learned. He has performed at the Danville Village Mall, the Danville Recreation Center, the 1980 Bismarck-Henning Street Fair, and numerous birthday shows and shows for various groups. He has performed hundreds of tricks, but likes the complicated ones best. He is also an escape artist. One of his more elaborate illusions entails being tied in a canvas bag thoroughly sealed with chains, ropes, and locks. If the audience so desires, the knots can be sealed in wax. The illusion ends with Gary’s assistant tied in the bag with Gary standing outside. Another of Gary’s escape feats is being bound with chains and hurled into a pool. Since his legs and arms are securely bound, he must either escape or sink. Since Gary is still attending Oakwood, it would be safe to assume he has never encountered any difficulty extracting himself from these difficult situations. Gary doesn’t like to reveal the secrets to his feats, but he does say that “the most elaborate looking tricks are usually the easiest to perform.” He likes to do magic with animals. He has many unusual pets to help him in his tricks. He has two doves named Gandalf and Galadriel (names of characters in the trilogy Lord of the Rings). He has a rabbit, of course. The rabbit is named Boba Fett, after the bounty hunter in The Empire Strikes Back film. But most unusual of all, he keeps a five-foot-long black rat snake named Ancalagon in a cage by his bed. He takes every opportunity he can to see famous magicians whenever they are in the area. He has met Harry Blackstone. Jr., and Doug Henning. Gary is also interested in biology, because he ‘‘likes animals.” He plans to attend college and study marine biology. If he is unable to pursue a career in magic he plans to become a biologist. Why magic? ‘‘It’s recreation tor me. and I like the reaction from the audience.” Gary says. But listening to him say that, it is obvious that the reason is much deeper. He is in love with what he does. He is enthralled by the sheer magic of it all. 19 PROFESSIONAL BEER CAN COLLECTORS The walls are covered with beer cans. Above them, a beer light illuminates them in a blaze of many colors. This is not the local tavern, but a wall in Mike Carnahan’s house. And the beer cans are only decoration. Mike is an insatiable beer can collector. He has over 600 cans, by rough estimation. He displays them on his wall under a beer light. Mike believes the collection to be worth about $1000. Mike has three cans that he considers his best. One is a Meister Brau Bock flat top worth $50; another is a Land O’Lakes flat top worth $25. and another is a mistake can : a Burger can printed upside down. He hasn’t had the dollar value of that can evaluated yet. Mike began his beer can collection when he went over to a friend’s house. The friend collected pop cans. The two traded old pop cans for old beer cans, Mike receiving the beer cans while his friend received the pop cans. Mike started out with a grand total of twenty beer cans. Then he went to a beer can collectors’ convention in Indianapolis and got about 100 more. He has been picking up cans ever since, through trading and from local collectors. Mike likes beer can collecting because it’s something to look at. I like looking at all the colors. It’s something to do. and you can make money if you do it right. Todd Lee is our other Oakwood beer can collector. He has 508 cans, worth approximately $1000. He considers some of his outstanding cans to be a People’s flat top. a Rhar’s cone top. a Berghoff cone top. and his personal favorite — a Huber Extinct Brewery collection (six). Todd keeps his beer cans downstairs, in a family room fixed up like a bar room. The beer cans are kept on the wall. Down there, he keeps more of his favorites — a Fyfe and Drum, an Olde Frothing Slosh, and some foreign cans. He has cans from France. Germany. Mexico. Italy. England. Africa, and Australia. Todd got started in beer can collecting in the seventh grade. On a trip to Turkey Run, he saw some kids scrounging through trash cans. When asked what they were doing, the kids replied that they were collecting beer cans. Todd and fellow senior Leslie Covington decided to see how many they could collect. Todd has been collecting ever since. Todd has been to Danville trading sessions to build his collection, but he has never been to any large conventions, as has Mike. Todd has also built his collection by buying out the local collectors. There used to be a lot of beer can collectors in the area, but Todd and Mike have bought out most of them. Both Todd and Mike are aware that the other is also collecting, but no jealous rivalry exists between them to see who can get the most and better cans. In fact. Mike goes down to Todd’s and trades beer cans whenever Mike comes on some new ones. And Todd acknowledges that Mike’s collection is pretty sharp. What is it that makes us collect things? Nearly everybody has a hobby (almost an obsession) similar to Mike and Todd’s. Some collect stamps, others collect books, or models, or coins; there is something in us all that urges us to collect things. But few of us have collected as fervently as Mike and Todd. Between them, they have over a thousand beer cans, with a combined estimated value of about $2000. Perhaps Todd summed it up for collectors all over the world: It’s interesting, colorful, worth money, a lot of people do it, and I just like to collect. 20 Mike sits m the midst of 600 beer cans Todd displays part of his extensive collection.

Brian shows a ••friend to visitors on Barnyard Day. BRIAN ELLIS Brian Ellis of R 6 Danville is an avid fan of horses. He presently takes care of two fine examples of the equestrian species. One of Brian’s horses is Poco’s Gold Shadow, a three-year old registered Appaloosa filly. The other is Sappho, an eleven-year-old registered half-Arabian. half-Morgan fondly known as Rose. Brian has raised Shadow since her birth and has done all her training. Brian bought Shadow for a mere penny from his uncle. Rose was acquired from Darrell Woodworth, a past ag. teacher at Oakwood. When Mr. Wood-worth left to go to Wyoming, he left Rose in Brian’s able care. Brian sees horse raising as “a very enjoyable life, although it is not the most profitable. Brian plans to attend DACC, taking production ag. classes. Then he will go on to Oklahoma Farriers College to learn horse shoeing. 21 The Seniors Most... LIKELY TO SUCCEED Leslie Covington.

There are seven fun-loving, imaginative, and intelligent guys displaying D D paraphernalia Front: Mike Car nahan, Gary Haas, and Bob Fourez Back: Craig Thompson. Mike VanCamp. Stuart Albert, and Bryan Fox. You and your friends enter the dark cavern. A warm breeze gutters the torches, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Suddenly the whole group comes to a halt. There — lying in a King’s ransom of gold and jewels — slumbers a giant red dragon. Do you try to steal as much as possible without getting caught? Do you try to try to kill the dragon and claim the whole treasure? Do you run and forget the whole thing? These decisions and others face you in a game called Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game for people between the ages of 12 and adult. It recently passed Monopoly to become the biggest selling game in the world. However, it’s not for everyone. It takes a fairly high level of intelligence to play and an even higher level of intelligence to be a referee, or Dungeon Master. Indeed. a good Dungeon Master sometimes rises onto heights of genius (ow. quit twisting my arm, Craig!) One day a group of the finer minds in the area met to try out a game they had heard about. Craig Thompson offered his home and hospitality and Dungeon Master ability, and the rest is history. Besides being fun to play. Dungeons and Dragons stretches the imagination and tests the resourcefulness of player and Dungeon Master alike. It also adds a touch of adventure. In one game, I started out as a mere mercenary, hiring my blade to the highest bidder, until I found this strange radioactive jewel. The results were interesting, to say the least... Dungeons and Dragons also helps the players to realize the capabilities of each other. One of our two wizards turned out to be a crack shot with a fireball; not to mention a budding pyromaniac. With a little bit of experience, our thief turned out to be very skillful — untrustworthy, but skillful. And a certain fighter who shall go unnamed, (ahem, ahem) turned out to have a marvelous affinity for guarding the rear (right. Mike?). If you think you have the necessary wit, wisdom, and imagination to investigate Dungeons and Dragons, con- tact Craig Thompson.

These photographers are Kevin Rigdon, Margot Resendez. Todd Lee, Micky Sadler. Darlene Lenburg. Randee Fleming. Sheila Martin. Teresa Burgin. and Bob Fourez. Darlene Lenburg has always liked to take pictures of scenery and people. She says that sometimes she experienced “difficulties. like ruined film and deadline dates. She is saving money to buy her own camera; right now she uses her neighbor’s. She might possibly be a professional photographer, but for now “it’s a hobby. Bob Fourez likes taking pictures of sporting events, especially cross country. He owns the 35mm camera he uses at school. I like taking pictures because of the challenge involved in getting all the elements of composition just right. Bob also says photography is only a hobby for him. He does not plan to be a professional. Teresa Burgin likes taking candid shots of the students here. She likes the memories a picture can hold. She began taking pictures a few years ago and immediately liked it. “I like taking pictures because of the good feeling you get when one of the pictures turn out perfect. Margot Resendez began taking pictures 3 years ago. She has her own 35mm with which she likes to take pictures of landscapes and people. It’s just a hobby, but I like it.” she smiles. Todd Lee began taking pictures for his grade school yearbook in 7th grade. Before that, he had experimented with his parents’ camera. The photographers rest with some of their work. Front row: Darlene Lenburg. Randee Fleming. Todd Lee. Micky Sadler. Sheila Martin. Back Teresa Burgin. Bob Fourez. Kevin Rigdon. and Margot Resendez. I like to do different stuff with pictures. It’s interesting. That’s what I’m going to go into. I like scenery more than faces. Randee Fleming began taking pictures “sometime in the 5th grade. She began to take yearbook pictures at the beginning of her sophomore year. She best likes to take pictures of people expressing themselves. I think it’s fun to capture different things on film, she says. “They’re good memories. I like the technology behind a camera. Micky Sadler began taking pictures in the eighth grade. “I love taking pictures of sports and still-life like ponds. She likes taking pictures because it allows her to “escape from the real world. I like to see the finished product and see what moods are captured. Sheila Martin has taken a few pictures during high school, but took quite a few during 7th and 8th grades. She did almost all the photographic work for her grade school yearbook. In her freshman year she took a lot of pictures, but during the past few years she has slacked off. She likes to take candid photographs best. “Taking pictures gives you something to look back on, she says of photography. Kevin Ridgon has been photo editor for 2 years. He has his own 35mm camera with which he enjoys taking sports pictures. Kevin was looking forward to plenty of shots in Hawaii in June. 26 Junior class officers, front: Sheila Martin and Ellen Longstreth. Back: Kim Keever and Susan Parks. Susan Parks The junior class treasurer is Susan Parks. Susan is very athletic and her favorite hobby is waterskiing. She’s pretty good at it; in fact she can even sit on her brother-in-law's shoulders while he is on skis. Her other hobbies include playing summer softball, and she has a stamp collection. What’s Susan’s outlook on life? She says, “Take advantage of this minute, because you’ll never have it again in your life.” Sheila Martin If you told Sheila, the class presi- dent, to go take a walk, she wouldn’t mind. Taking long walks is one of Sheila’s favorite pastimes. She also likes to read, listen to music, and especially sunbathe. Sheila wants to live a long, happy life and to succeed in everything she does. Ellen Longstreth If you want to know who won the Kentucky Derby or nearly any other horse race, just ask Ellen Longstreth. the class secretary. Her hobbies include horses and reading. She has kept track of the Triple Crown races since 1973 — half of her life! Ellen hopes to go to college, study to become a high school teacher (maybe) teaching biology and math. Kim Keever The junior class vice-president is Kim Keever. Kim is rather athletic as everyone knows and her hobbies are track and field, softball, and boys. Kim has a saying that she more or less lives by — Remember that you are never given a dream without the power to make it come true. May all your dreams come true.

KELLY ALBLINGER . If you ever walk through Meis and bump into a lady that looks like she just came from Gucci’s in Chicago, she just might be Kelly Alblinger. Kelly’s favorite part is putting together the outfit that she models. An outfit consists of clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories, all from Meis. Kelly feels picking out her own outfit helps her to coordinate outfits for her customers. Although she enjoys modeling, she isn’t going to pursue it as a career. She plans to enter the world of business, but along another avenue. MICKY SADLER Micky Sadler is a lover of animals. She has proven this by her interest in showing cattle for eight years. She became interested in this field by her dad. “It started out as a 4-H project for Marcy, my sister, and when she got a heifer, I got one. too!’’ Many awards have been won, such as Champion Land of Lincoln. Reserve Champion and 3rd in the state fair. She has shown at the Vermilion and Champaign County fairs and has traveled as far as Louisville, Kentucky. Micky says she enjoys this very much. “The people at the fair are so nice; they help in any way they can.’’ “I always want to have animals around but I probably won’t choose a career dealing with animals because there is this thing called money needed for survival.’’ Whatever Micky chooses to do, she will do it well. 29 Kelly Alblinger strikes a pose at Meis. HIGH FLYERS: Is it a bird? Is it Superman? Nope. Probably just Mike or Phil pursuing their favorite hobby. Phil Simpson has been interested in flying airplanes since he was seven years old. That’s when his dad got a commercial jet license flying Lear jets for McCullum. He learned to fly by sitting in the plane and watching his dad. Phil got his student license a year ago at age 16. His father used to own two planes, but they got destroyed. Now they rent from lllini Airplanes in Champaign. Does Phil plan to go professional someday? “Right now it’s just a weekend hobby. Even though I love flying, I can’t see it being any more than that.” Another junior interested in flying is Mike VadeBonCoeur. He became interested when some friends invited him to a meeting of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). The EAA is a worldwide organization promoting aviation, and is the group that sponsors the air show each year in Danville. Mike has taken a few lessons, but hasn’t gotten his pilot license yet. He prefers small planes to large ones because they’re easier to control and simpler to fly. Says Mike. “Although flying is strictly a hobby. I’d like to pursue it more and get my license.’’ Top Right: Phil stands next to plane, ready for take-off. Bottom Right: Mike strikes a wrestling stance; out of school, his interest centers on planes. 0 ARTISTS: THEY COLOR OUR WORLD The following people are pictured on page 15 of the DIRECTORY. They were involved in the district art contest at Robeson’s in Champaign. Kim Gebhart has been awarded several honors for her efforts this year.

Kim Gebhart and Billie Jo Nail are representative of the many talented artists at OTHS petitions and won various awards. Her first interest in art started when her second grade class had to draw a picture while listening to a fast beat music. Kim had drawn waves. Her teacher praised her on her sketch and from then on her interest grew. Kim gives Miss Sawyer a lot of credit for her growth in art. Miss Sawyer has helped Kim to enter in her competitions and to make her art work public. JILL TROWDRIDGE When Billie Jo was asked what was most enjoyable about art. she quickly replied. “Money!” She is looking forward to a career in art and is planning on going to a college which majors in arts. Billie Jo likes to use people as subjects and capture their features in charcoal. Her teachers and elders were a large factor in initiating her interest in art. Billie Jo said her interest bloomed at the early age of six. STEVE SETT KIM GEBHART Kim is looking forward to her career in art. She plans to go to college at an Art institute. After she finishes her studies her ambition is to open an advertising firm and design record jackets.

JON FOLEY Jon Foley realized that he loved to play the guitar when he was 8 years old. “This was because my father had various bands at his job.” In fact. Jon believes that he received his talent from his father. Mr. Foley has made a few records in the past. Mrs. Foley is a talented singer. Jon received his first guitar, a flat top. when he was eleven years old from his father. Jon plays his Alvorez guitar one or two hours a day. before and after school or whenever he has the time. He enjoys playing “country music mostly,” especially that of Waylon Jennings. Johnny Lee. and Mickey Guilley. Jon has not played in a band yet. but he has sat in on a few jam sessions. He plans to play in a band in the future. “I’m now getting to the point where I can sing while I play in front of people without feeling embarrassed.” That’s not a bad place to be.

The annual and newspaper staffs at Oakwood really do a fine job. Under the guidance of Miss Jan Bahnke, past yearbooks have won awards and the newspaper has been entered in a state journalistic contest. This year’s annual will have a new format. The book will be divided into separate magazines, such as People and Sports Illustrated. Then the magazines will be bound under one cover. This format has never been tried in high school before. Miss Bahnke thinks it has a good chance to win more awards for the Oakwood annual staff. Amy Bumpus has been editor-in-chief of the annual for the past two years. She also is editor of the newspaper sports page and handles any special pages that come up. “On the annual staff, I plan lay-outs, see that everything is carried out, see that everything is done the same, design the cover, interact with the advisor. and yell at people.” she says. “I like working because I feel like I’m giving a service to the students. The students will have the yearbook for the rest of their lives so it is really special. It has helped me get more organized and to be more of a leader. I would like to be the editor of a college yearbook. It takes a lot of time, but I would do it over. We started working on this yearbook in June.” Wendy Loudin and Darlene Lenburg are the editors of the People section. They assign pages, check work before it goes to the publishing company, do page lay-outs, interview students, and sell ads. Said Wendy. “It’s interesting work, and you learn about who’s reliable and who isn’t.” Mike Carnahan is the editor of the annual’s Sports Illustrated section. He likes being editor because “I enjoy delegating authority. My main responsibility is to make sure people like Steve Saults turn in their pages on time.” Leslie Covington is the editor of the yearbook directory. Her responsibilities are to plan lay-outs and make sure her staff gets things finished on time. She feels that she had gained valuable experience in working on the annual. It has given her a sense of responsibility. Todd Lee and Kevin Rigdon are co-editors of photography for the annual. This means that they are kept busy taking pictures, developing negatives, assigning other photographers, choosing pictures, and just “generally keeping busy.” Todd and Kevin have been taking pictures for the yearbook for four years now. 40 THEY SPREAD THE NEWS The Oak News has been under the guidance of Miss Bahnke for 3 years now. She feels the paper has improved significantly. “It used to be a mimeographed sheet put out by the typing class.” she says “Now it is much better looking.” Gary Haas is the newspaper’s editor-in-chief. His junior year he was news page editor. He describes his responsibilities as “making sure things get done and writing extra stories and doing pages.” Of his work on the newspaper, he says. “It’s a good experience for anyone who wants to be a college journalism student.” Judy Fisher is the editor of the news page. She makes sure people “get things done and she gets the pages together so it can get in on time. “I enjoy doing it, but sometimes it can get hectic when you have deadlines to meet.” DeEtta Samson is the feature page editor. “I draw up layouts, assign stories, receive and check stories, gather pictures, and do paste ups.” Of her position, she said “Although this has been my first year in journalism, I have enjoyed being a part of the News Staff. The responsibility at times is a little hard but with the help of some of my staff we do very well.” Todd Lee is the editor of the editorial page. He has the usual list of responsibilities, and says the only reason he gets them done is luck. “The editorial page is the best page.” he says flatly. “On it. you can express your opinion of news developments. Straight reporting of the facts can get boring.” Oak News editors: From left: Judy Fisher. DeEtta Samson. Gary Haas. Amy Bumpus and Todd Lee Who is that man you see in the hall? Meet Bob, our on-the-go sales rep! Bob McElwee. publications consultant for Taylor Publishing Company, has had a hand in preparing this year’s annual. This is his second year at Oakwood and his second year as publications consultant for Hoopeston. Rankin, Potomac, Champaign Centenial, Danville High School, Schlarman. and other area schools. He says that the Oakwood annual staff is a little more interesting to work with. “Their ideas are more innovative. He enjoys working with all of the staff members. “The advisor of a yearbook plays a key role in what kind of yearbook the school has.” Bob says. “Miss Bahnke has done an excellent job.” He also says that “the products of a Bob preparing to make copy prints for annual. good journalism program are students that go on to pursue it in college.” 41 ALOHA!

On Monday, June 8, twenty-two Oakwood students began the first leg of a dream trip to Hawaii. Aong with accompanying adults, the students spent two sun-filled weeks swimming and sight-seeing. A charter bus left the Fithian Community Center at 5:00 A M. on the 8th and went to St. Louis Lambert Field. A plane took the Oakwood travelers to Keahole Airport in Kona on the main island of Hawaii. There, they were greeted with the famous and traditional leis, placed on their neck by pretty, smiling girls. From the airport, the group traveled to the Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Kamuela, where they stayed for the next 8 days. While at the Academy, they attended classes on dangerous marine animals, snorkeling equipment and use, tide-pool organisms, island formation, volcanic geology, and shell identification. They visited Waipio Valley and Black Sand Beach. Hapuna Beach. Parker Ranch Museum, Volcano National Park, and Akaka Falls. From Day 9-Day 14. the students stayed on Honolulu at the Waikiki Grand Hotel. During this second part of the trip, they snorkeled. visited Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl Cemetary, Diamond Head. Sealife Park. Bishop Museum, and the only Royal Palace in the United States, lolani Palace. They also saw a spectacular Polynesian evening show. On Day 14, June 20. the students began their flight home. The plane was aloft all night, leaving Hawaii at about 10 P.M. The weary travelers arrived in St. Louis at about 2:00 P.M. on the 21st. And then they arrived home at last. All were home by 9:00 that evening, tired but warmly glowing with memories that will last a life-time. These students went on the trip: John Bales, Sonna Lane, Tim Parks, Jill Clark. Karla Cockrell. Brian Simmons, Kelli Williams, Tim Verhoeven. Tammie Cook. Michelle Darling, Kevin Rigdon. Tom Goble, Teresa Wernigk. Tammy Sexton, Kerri Linne, Shari Maskel. James Tucker. Kerry Tucker, Joe Hack, Billy Fisher, Dan Grimes. and Lisa McClure. And what student trip would be complete without those two veteran world travelers. Mrs. Anderson and Miss Jan Bahnke? They previously went along on the Europe trip two years ago. Mrs. Anderson has been to Mexico twice, Europe twice, and has traveled throughout the United States. Miss Bahnke has been to French Canada. England, France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Spain. Italy, Morocco, and most of the 50 states. Well acquainted with the pleasures (and sometimes frustrations) of longdistance traveling, they are the best possible advisors for the trip. Many of the students expressed the same opinion of the trip: they couldn’t wait. All were eager to go. and many had never been very far away from home. This was a new and thrilling experience for them. The boys were looking forward to the beach and its bikini-clad girls, while the girls were looking forward to the beach and its tanned guys. 42 Karla Cockrell. Kerri Linne. and Teresa Wernigk compare vacation plans. However, going to Hawaii had a disadvantage: money. The cost of the trip was about $1150. While this posed a problem for many going on the trip, they felt that they would earn enough with school sales to ease the financial burden. They sold pizzas. M M's, and candy bars by the dozens to get the needed funds. Money is the one bad thing about going,” was the common response. Mom and Dad are going to have to help out some.” But all agreed the cost was worth it. It would buy them a lifetime of special memories. 43 SCHOOL SCENES Our school has grown quite a bit this year, but not in size. New experiences, such as the first foreign exchange student, have influenced us all. Classes, extracurricular activities, special events, field trips, awards, are all a part of the students lives from late August until May. We hope these pictures bring back fond memories of this school and this year. Finally, the yearbooks came in! An Annual Staff first was an assembly for the sale of yearbooks. The Student Council sponsored a Thanksgiving banquet for Senior Citizens. Hey. Diana, what are you doing there? No. it's not a scene from a horror movie. Just one of the fascinating exhibits the International Club saw when they visited 44 the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. ■I IN MEMORIAM Randy Bloomfield Class of 1984 1966-1980 My Lost Youth I remember the gleams and glooms that dart across the school-boy’s brain, The song and the silence in the heart. That in part are prophecies, and in part are longings wild and vain And the voice of that fitful song Sings on. and is never still: A boy’s will is the winds will, And the thoughts of youth are long, long thougths.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow David Smith Class of 1982 1964-1980 No man is an Hand, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if Clod bee washed away by the Sea. Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of they friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. John Donne It isn’t easy, losing someone close to you, Someone dear in your heart. But everyone should know it’s true, Someday, we all must part. At first I couldn’t accept it, I just kept on wondering why For days I would just sit all alone and cry. After a while I began to realize There was nothing I, or anyone else could do. So we all must remember the good times And the love that we shared too. In my heart, I feel she’s still with me And I know I will never forget her For I still have her memory And memories are . .. Forever We have lost a dear friend, classmate, and family member when Dana was taken from us at the tender age of fourteen. But she has left a part of herself in all of us that knew and loved her. Her willingness to give of herself, her laughter, and her consideration of other people’s feelings should instill in us some of the same qualities. She was always there when she was needed and never complained when things seemed to go wrong. Although small in size she was mighty in spirit! She took whatever life gave her and made the best of it. I, along with many others, admired her greatly. In the time that I knew her she brought me happiness, respect, and a better outlook in life. Gone but never forgotten! — a friend — Dana Winkler Class of 1984 1966-1981 I am now at rest dear ones Oh so happy and so bright There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over Every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever Safely home in heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly trod The valley of the shade? Oh, but Jesus’ love illuminated Every dark and fearful glade. And he came himself to meet me In that way so hard to tread And with Jesus’ arm to lean on Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely For I love you dearly still Try to look beyond Earth’s shadows Pray and trust our Father’s will. There is work still waiting for you So you must not idly stand. Do it now while life remaineth You share rest in Jesus’ land. When the work is all completed He will gently call you home. Oh! The rapture of that meeting, Oh the joy to see you come! 47 — a friend — ACORN STAFF MEMBERS Editor-In-Chief 3nd OS Editor................................................................................Amv Bum pus LIFE Editor .....................................................................Debbie Wade Assistant Editor........................................................Angie Leahy Staff.................................................................Sheri Creason.

EXPLANATORY NOTES If you have questions about the composition of the 1981 ACORN, perhaps the following notes will help This ACORN covers the school year from August 1980-May 1981. The book is delivered in the summer so that all events of the year are included in the book. All staff members made a serious effort to spell names correctly, but if you notice any errors in your name, please try to be understanding. After typing so many names and not knowing all students in the school, they did not always recognize misspellings. The 1981 ACORN is a totally new concept at OTHS. The staff tried a design not usually produced by high school staffs. All of the members hope that you enjoy the results. SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Without the assistance of some non-staff members, the ACORN could not be brought to a successful conclusion. Among those who have made major contributions, the staff would like to recognize: Bob McElwee. our Taylor representative. who has gone to great lengths to insure the success of a difficult book. Brian Cannon, our 1979 photo editor, who has helped in the dark room and has supplied numerous photos. Mr. and Mrs. Marion Dysert. who so willingly supplied us with necessary photos and information of Alan. The faculty and administration of OTHS. who proved to be very understanding when deadline days arrived. Mr. Dale Dowers, who did several rush photo productions for us. Unit n76 Board of Education, to whose members is owed a very special thanks for the stipend granted this year’s book. In conclusion. Ellen Longstreth. although not an editor, has contributed many extra hours to the completion of PEOPLE. SPECIFICATIONS The 1981 Acorn was produced by the students of Oak wood Township High School and printed by Taylor Publishing Co.. Dallas. Texas. The Taylor representative was Bob McElwee. Studio photographer was Dale Dowers. The format used for this book is magazine style. All separate magazines included here are adaptations of the magazines whose names they carry. Permission was granted by each publisher to use the title and format of these magazines. The Directory Cover was taken from the local phone book. All color was printed from C-prints; covers were also printed from C-prints. Each magazine uses its own type style for body copy, headlines and captions. Wrap-around covers are printed on 100-pound, coated stock, and pages in the magazines are printed on 70-pound coated stock. Each magazine is saddle-stitched. Cover is done by the silkscreening process using fawn ink and brown lex-otone material. Magazines are held in the binder by means of two screw posts. Magazine margins were adjusted to the outside of the page by two picas to avoid losing copy and pictures in the inside gutter. The book was staff assembled, with students working after its arrival at school, to assemble the magazines and place them in the binders. The 1981 Acorn contains 194 pages with a press run of 368 copies. The opinions expressed on these pages are not necessarily those of the administration, faculty, or student body of Oakwood Township High School. 48 HUNTER-WEBB LUMBER CO.

The football, wrestling, and golf teams all had rebuilding years. The basketball, baseball, and softball teams all had successful seasons. We tried a new style of yearbook this year, so it was different for all of us. Thanks to our staff for a successful year.

Although our yearbook has already been dedicated, I would like to dedicate this sports section to the late Alexander Sofranoff. If you knew him, you would know why. Alex was at almost every sports event, if not all of them. He followed our cross country team everywhere we went and had words of encouragement for us. He sat in his own little corner at all basketball games and kidded around with all the players. During track season, he even got his picture taken with the team at the 1978 conference meet as our 1 fan. It didn't matter to Alex what school a person represented; he’d talk to everyone. Alexander Sofranoff died on October 20, 1980; ever since then the hearts of all Oakwood athletes have been a little heavy. This year’s County Championship in Cross Country was dedicated to him and so is this section of the yearbook. Sincerely, Mike Carnahan 3 Cross Country Runs to Win Front Row: Kevin Calhoun, Alex Hobrook, Gary Smith. Bob Fourez, Bruce Fink. Sec. Row: Van Lewsader. Todd Lee. Mr. Wittman. Brian Bensyl, Kevin Rigdon, Ricky Lane. This year in a year of mediocrites at Oakwood High, one particular sport out shining. This sport, of course, was cross country. The Cross Country program has mostly been regarded with disinterest and disdain by most of the students and people of the surrounding community, but this year, the team accomplished something that is a first for Oakwood. They went to the State Meet at Peoria, Illinois. As a team this year the Cross Country men won the county meet, placed 4th at the St. Joseph Classic, 4th at Paxtor, 5th at Tuscola, in the regular season, then placed 4th in district and a very close 5th in the sectional meet. They then went on to the state where they placed 16th. This year there were five seniors: Mike Carnahan, Alex Holbrok, Gary Smith, Dave Whlite, Kevin Rigdon, and Todd Lee. In the County Meet, Out of the 10 Possible All-County placed Oakwood placed 6 of them. These were Mike Carnahan, 3rd, Dan Grimes, 4th, Kevin Calhoun, 5th Bob Fourez, 6th, Gaay Smith, 8th, and Van Lewsader, 10th. Bruce Fink placed 13th to round out Oakwood finish. 4 Timings for Bismarck and Oakwood meet for Todd Lee. Timings for Mike Carnahan. St. Joe Classic. Bruce Fink.

With only one senior, the future looks very bright for golf at O.H.S. If everyone will continue the hard work, Oakwood could be one of the better teams in the area next year. “Our team was very young but worked very hard throughout the season. All of the team progressed well and I am hoping with a lot of play this spring and summer, they will have a successful coming year.” — Coach Biehl Sophomore standout, Jim Tucker, finished 7th in the Oakwood Invitational 1980 team members: Jamie Clancy.

The Catlin team split the two games, the first 13-16 Oakwood and the second 10-3 Oakwood. Jamacia also split the games, the first 11-9 Oakwood and the second 8-9 Jamacia. The team had five players who had exceptional years. They were Carla Schafer (jr.)f Peggy Witsman (jr.), Teresa Wernigk (jr.), Kim Keever (jr.). and Brenda Myers (sr.). The team was comprised of other outstanding juniors and sophomores, with the upcoming freshmen next year should be even better. Leading the team in stolen bases was Kim Keever. Leading the team in RBI’s and runs was Peggy Witsman. Carla Schafer led the team in most hits. 10 (5000 -3 O do h m - T M PAINTING Residential — Industrial — Commercial Free Estimates Bus.

Unfortunately this was the only victory that the Comets achieved this season, as they finished with a disappointing 1-8 mark. Oakwood had a powerful offense led by Quarterback John DeRay. Halfbacks Mark Hillery and Randy Mitchell did a fine job of running the ball, while Bill Abbott (fullback) beat up on defenses. The sad point for the Comets was the defense. The Oakwood defense allowed for more points than the offense could compensate for. The Comets suffered some injuries which could have been a reason for the weak defense. Randy Mitchell, a hard hitting linebacker-safety went down with a knee injury. while Mark Hillery. an excellent linebacker, broke an arm in the Catlin game. There are many bright spots for next season's team, with Superback Mark Hillery (5.1 yards per carry average), fullback Billy Abbott, and quarterback John DeRay returning. They will have some pass receiving help from ends Jim Foley and David Tellier who are also returning lettermen. If Coach Mac can put together a line and toughen up the defense. Oakwood could be a conference contender in the 1981 season. 14 15 16 O.T.H.S. Spiritmakers Stand Out Top to Bottom: Left to Right: Kathy Cole (Captain). Shelly Stunkard. Debi Tellier. Kim Keever.

Both J.V. and Varsity squads were awarded the spirit stick. Since the squad increased in number from 6 to 8, and only one returning varsity cheerleader from last year’s squad, the girls practiced many long hours after school and during the summer. To help with the cost of camp and outfits, the girls sponsored a car wash and co-sponsored a volleyball marathon with the Comettes. During the year they competed at the Rossville Holiday Tournaments, and placed 4th out of 16 teams. They received 5th in the County Tournament, only losing points in the category of crowd support. I am particularly proud of this squad. Due to the lack of varsity experience, they worked early in the morning during the summer and during the evenings, to maintain Oakwood’s reputation of excellency in cheerleading. Cooperation is the key and these girls were determined to not only be a good squad but to enjoy their year as well. Mrs. Steffen To the seniors, my thanks for their support and cooperation. Their vitality and enthusiasm will be missed. Thanks to each of the girls for an enjoyable year as sponsor. Mrs. Steffen Top to Bottom: Diane Hatfield, Kim Keever, Stunkard. and Brenda Thomas.

Shelly Our Varsity Cheerleaders leading everyone in a cheer 18 Junior Varsity — Freshman Cheerleaders Junior Varsity Because the J.V. squad numbered only four, we added the freshman girls to make an eight member cheerleading squad. These eight girls are extremely talented cheerleaders. If they continue their hard work and competitiveness, they will be a championship squad as seniors. Their talents are varied: back and front flips, splits, Chinese splits, and forming mounts. It was a privilege to work with these girls and I wish them much success. Freshmen The Freshmen had a particularly difficult job this year. Not only did they cheer at the J.V. games, but they also managed to cheer at the freshman games. Talent is abundant on this squad. They’re charming young ladies and a delight to coach. Mrs. Steffen Top to Bottom: Lori Covington. Tracy Dunn. Diana Livingston, and Shelly Miller. The captain for the squads this season. Kathy Cole.

The new officers were chosen: Christy Hedges, Student Director; Sheila Martin and Micky Sadler, Co-Captains. It was a year of rebuilding; four old girls and eight new ones composed the 1980-1981 squad. The Comettes attended camp at Indiana State University and received a third place Outstanding Drill Team, as well as Tidy Mop twice that week. Christy Hedges was also honored with the Outstanding Corps Leader award. The fun and en- thusiasm showed at camp overpowered the sunburns and blisters received along with the awards. The Comettes raised money during the summer by walking beans. They also attended a workshop held at Eastern. This readied them for the beginning of football season. The 2nd Annual Homecoming Parade was a success; the Comettes' float received first in its category, and their new outfits were shown off while they marched in the parade. Basketball season brought few performances, but a chance for the new members to prepare for the drill team competition in February. This year, regionals were held at Mt. Olive. The Comettes placed first in their division and category. This gave them the opportunity to attend state competition at North Downer’s Grove in March. Experience and fun were gained at the competition, but no major awards were received. Sadie Hawkins '81 was staged again with big success, (read story in Life, p. 36) Tryouts this year were held April 25, signaling a beginning of a new year. 20 WATCH YOUR LINES. NOTICE THE JUDGE.

According to Coach Frank Nixon if we had a few good breaks and a few less injuries we could have been Conference Champs and had a 20 win season. This goal will have to wait till next year. In next year’s team only 1 starter K. P. Vinson remains. This team will be losing all County guard Harold Dunbar, All Conference. All County forward Pat Alblinger, play making guard Todd Livingston and defensive specialist Mike Carnahan from the starting five. Also gone from next year's team will be fine shooting Kevin Rigdon and aggressive Bart Lock who played excellent during the season coming from the bench. On a positive note Steve Barnard and K. P. Vinson got a lot of varsity experience and they will be back. Moving up from Junior Varsity will be juniors John Deray. Mike Corzine, and Jon Maurer, sophomores Pat Sharpf, Jim Foley, Van Lewsader, and Dave Tellier. Next year's team will be young and should be a force in years to come. 26 27 Girl Hoop Stars Shine The girls’ basketball team had a very good season this year with a record of 20-6.

LOOKING TOWARDS A 35 Baseball Team Scores Well With New Coach At New Field Harold Dunbar appears ready for anything they throw at him. This season’s Comet baseball team began the year at its new field with eight lettermen returning. With so much experience, the Comets were picked to finish very high in conference play. The Comets not only lived up to expectations, but won the conference. The pitching was excellent, with Harold Dunbar and Mark Hillery doing great work and Darren Fletcher helping out. The batting came through very well, giving Comet pitchers many runs to work with. Steve Saults, Kevin Rigdon, and Harold Dunbar hit extremely well and carried high averages, added to timely hitting from teammates Mark Hillery, Jim Foley, Darren Fletcher, and Jon Maurer. Oakwood did not do as well as expected in the regionals, as they lost a heartbreaker at St. Joe-Ogden. Coach Carr, however, was pleased with the play of the team against the very tough competition. The Comets will have to rebuild an infield which will lose: catcher: Jim Montgerard: first baseman: Kevin Rigdon; second baseman: Steve Saults; and pitcher-shortstop: Harold Dunbar. They will have a good nucleus for next season, however, with Jon Maurer, Jim Foley. Mark Hillery, Brian Crow, Pat Sharpf. and Darren Fletcher returning with letterman status. Kevin Rigdon hangs in there to force his man out. 36 On the bench, things are quiet.. . while on the field the action is starting 37 Harold Dunbar wasn't quite quick enough to reach base before the ball. Above right: The Comets strike out another opponent. 38 Girl Runners See Long Hours Of Practicing Produce Wins The girls’ track team started its season on a hopeful note. As the season progressed, Coach Mac and the whole athletic department knew that this year would be a great one for girls’ track. They only had one problem — keeping the whole team healthy until the big meets and State were over. Coach Mac got lucky; only a few girls became injured or sick. Fortunately, all were well when County, Conference and District meets arrived. This team should be remembered as one that put forth a superb effort. The girls always gave their best try and made many sacrifices for their team. The girls set three main goals for themselves: to be County, Conference and District Champs. This year they achieved their goals. When Coach Mac was asked about the outlook for next year, he replied, “Next year should be even better, with all the girls returning and the upcoming freshmen. We might even place in State.” We, the Annual Staff, would like to thank the girls for their fine effort and good sportsmanship throughout the season. Also, congratulations on a job well done. 39 Micky Sadler’s face reflects the concentration and strain required to win. 0u6 24 The Annual Staff would also like to recognize another runner, Colleen Brehm. Colleen was part of the relays which set school records. She also set three of her own: The new long jump record, the 100 meter and 200 meter dash records. When she was asked what has helped her running, she replied. “Coach Mac has pushed me. In grade school, the coaches let me do what I wanted, but he made me work. Her hard work paid off — she went to state. Above: Coleen Brehm works to gain another win. Above right: Kelly Brehm pours it on around a turn.

Above: Robin O’Neill’s expression is one of intense concentration. Left: Laurie Lomax completes a hand-off to Peggy Witsman. Kim Keever — most valuable track girl. This year’s most valuable player chosen by the girls’ track team was Kim Keever. The girls voted for the person they felt led the team through all times, always put forth her best effort, showed good sportsmanship, and displayed team spirit. “Kim is a very dedicated member of the girls' track team and the whole athletic program of Oakwood,” pronounced her coach (Coach MacFarland). Kim was a cheerleader, member of the girls’ bowling, softball, basketball, and track teams. Along with her athletic abilities, Kim excels in academics. Many sports require a great deal of training, but track requires the most. Track runners give up a great deal if they want to be good. They must get sufficient sleep to keep up their strength, do lots of tiring exercises, and keep up their grades, in order to be able to run. One of the sacrifices Kim and some other track members had to make was to give up their individual events in the State meet in order to give the team a chance to place. The Annual Staff would like to congratulate Kim for her fine effort.

Hard Work Key To Boys’ Track Successes This year’s track team qualified the 3200 meter relay, the 1600 meter relay, and Bruce Harrison in the triple jump. At the state meet held at Charleston, the 3200 meter made it to the finals and placed ninth, one place away from a medal. Bruce Harrison and the 1600 meter relay failed to qualify. Besides the state meet, Oakwood placed well in some big meets. At the Paris Relays, Oakwood placed second in Class B and when our scores were combined with the Oakwood girls’, we walked away with the Class B overall trophy. At the conference we placed third, a few points out of first place. Bob Turpin placed third, but was spotted fifth. Bob Fourez would have placed fifth, but timers failed to put a watch on him. With just these two breaks, we would have been conference champs. Mike Carnahan finishes the 800 at St. Joe. 44 Kevin Calhoun leads his heat of the 3200 at Eastern. Before and after Bruce Harrison shows the stamina needed for the triple jump. Oakwood placed second in the varsity county. The 1600 meter relay of Harrison, Mitchell, Carnahan, and Holbrook were county champions. Also, the 400 meter relay of Turpin, DeRay, Maurer, and Mitchell was a county champ. In the fresh-soph county, Oakwood placed first. The 3200 meter relay (Grimes, Don Downs, Dan Downs, Lewsader), 400 meter relay (Peak, Tellier, Richardson, Simmons), 3200 meter runner Calhoun, discus-thrower Richardson, 800 meter runner Lewsader, and 1600 meter runner Grimes placed first in their events. Next year's track team will have a strong group of young competitors ready for any challenge.
