Or it caused us to be in the Publications Office by 7:30 a.m. to draw layouts - or worse yet - write copy. We all belonged to something this year, even if it wasn't anything more than a class - but we were expected to be there - we were a part of it. And that's what belonging is all about. Being a part of something. Having someone rely on us to be there - wherever that may be - at a certain time. There are those certain times when that becomes a real drag - like when homework is due and it isn't even close to being finished. Table of Contents Student Life Fine Arts ..... ....

Or when the headache you ac- quired during first hour is nothing but worse by third hour, and all you can think of is going home - and no one will let you. But there are good times and good feelings about belonging. What about the times you belonged to a winning team. Or what about the times you belonged to a losing team and you HAD to learn how to lose with pride. lt wasn't easy, but it sure would have been harder to do it alone and not as a part of a group. And what about the new people you met and the extra parties you got to go to by joining the speech team? And wasn't it a really a good feeling to walk onto the 200 floor and have one of your group yell, 1 Hello first thing in the morning? We celebrate belonging simply because - whether we liked it or not - we all belonged to some- thing. And we think, if you look at it real close, you'll be glad you be- longed to Ottawa High School, 1983-84.

We could get really deep on you about living, and how you have to live life to the fullest or live each day like it were the first day of the rest of your life or even go for the gusto. But we chose to highlight liv- ing because in these buildings, with this particular group of people, this particular year, is where you do more living than any other single place. Did you realize that? Top. At the Frosh-Soph Mixer, sophomores Kim Vancil and Cathy Dillier play hostesses by serv- ing drinks at the concession stand. Above. According to Lynn Foster, school books can get extremely heavy by the end of the day. 4jlntroduction 1... V K, - E i li l fl: 3 V l f 33 2.

Many nights you clon't even make it home for supper. And even if you do, how many nights do you end up sitting at home doing homework or watching TV? We figure not very often. So your average at home time, not counting sleeping, is about 25 Amidst all the noise and excitement of the school building, David Thao finds the library to be a comfort- able, quiet place to study. ra hours - at tops - during the five day week. But school? We figure you put in 37.5 hours tcounting sleeping timei each week. And that's if you aren't involved in an outside activity. Let's celebrate living because we're all here, at this particular time in history, living together. And that will never happen again. .43 X -44 Parade Marshalls Merle Burke and Stan White anx iously await the start of the Homecoming Parade Both men are former OHS social science teachers. ,, ,J ,F The crowd keeps growing as Pirate fans gather to support the football teams at the Homecoming bon- fire. lt's not exactly nourishing, but senior Karen Budias will buy anything if it will keep her going for the rest of the day. .JN .A-.

We looked up functional in the same dictionary and found it to mean performing a function which put us back to where we started. So then we checked out effective- ness and found it meant, among other things, impressive So we put them all together and came up with: Performance: per- forming an impressive function. We looked at everything you did this year and came up with our very selective, unauthorized listing of what we considered performances. Here they are, in no particular or- der, for your perusal: Sophomore cheerleader Joy Wallens gives a smile of satisfaction after a successful practice.

Sf introduction Action. All of you who never move during the day, raise your hand. OK. All of you who run at least once during the clay, raise your hand. We see. How about those of you who move from one building to another at least twice a day, raise your hand. Are you beginning to get the pic- ture? We figure even if you didn't do anything but go from one class to the next there is some action included in your day. What about those of you who are on an athletic team. We certainly don't need to tell you anything about action. tYou could tell us a thing or two.j And those of you who cheer or dance or march don't need to be reminded that there was plenty of action in your year. But did the rest of you realize how much action you put in one of those desks during an English class? You twist one way -- and then As the first football game gets underway, football trii captain John Myers punches his way onto the field before injuring his ankle in the first half. you twist the other. You turn around in your seat an average of five times an hour - and stretch your legs six times. Think about it. That's what makes you so sleepy during those hours - you're worn out! Let's celebrate action - whether it be those special events that get your blood boiling or simply the day-to-day activities that get us from one piace to the other. is im l l Above.

You probably are won- dering why in the world we would decide to celebrate learning. We asked ourselves that question, too, but then we realized that, after all, that was why we were in high school. To learn. At least that's what our parents and our teachers tell us when we aren't studying as much as they would like for us to. Learning, excuse us for this, can really be fun. Those field trips to northern lllinois, or to Chicago - remember those? They were educa- tional experiences - you learned something. Or how about those ex- periments in physics or chemistry.

And we all agree that while voca- tional classes are fun because you get to DO something, alot of learn- ing takes place in those, too. You can even have learning ex- periences without having fun. What about the time in sophomore comp when you didn't understand a foot- note from a title page. You had to learn it, so you did, and you felt good when you had. We celebrate learning because that's what you're here for - and it's what you'll be doing the rest of your life. qw .. ,au 4, 6,1 .446 ,, K -JJ fl at Seniors Ron Engel and Darlene Bolatto seem to think that two heads are better than one when it comes to a tough assignment.

Maybe you tend to lean toward the smartest kid in the class? What- ever your reasons are, and we won't pry, they make your day - and sometimes your evening - and we imagine they even are around on the weekends. Friends will probably last you a lifetime - if you are good to them. g While JoEllyn Caffee and Julie LeBeau attempt to complete a composition assignment, classmate Jack- ie Gray reminisces about old times. Twenty years from now, when the gray hair is starting to appear and you find that you can't lose those extra ten pounds that have landed around your middle, an old high school chum will call Long Dis- tance - and it'll cost him S25 to laugh with you over the losing foot- ball season - or the test you tried to cheat on and got caught. We don't mean to get too mushy on you right here, but someone once told us that to have a friend you have to be a friend, and we consider that pretty good advice. Maybe you will, too. But, whatever, your friends are what you can't get through the day without -- and we celebrate them.

What about the class discussion when you knew all the answers? Didn't you lead it? What about the time you found yourself first out of the door for a tornado drill - the whole class was following you. Then there was the time you led the P.E. attack with two hits? See, we knew you'd see it our way. Oh, sure. We realize that there are obvious leaders - class offi- cers, team captains, editors, and well, even teachers. And we also realize that we couldn't have a good, exciting, smooth schol year without those people. They are as necessary to a great school as rain Qwhich we didn't have enough of this vearj is to crops. We just want you to understand that you are a leader too in your own way, whether you want to be or not, no matter how seriously or often you take that role. And we celebrate the leadership in you.

Celebrating seemed to come easy this year, more than any other year, for OHS students. The sophomore class members started the celebration by host- ing the annual Frosh-Soph Mixer. With the announcement of the Homecoming queen and her court, the most exciting and fun-filled week of the school year began. From there everyone joined in to celebrate spirit week. Many students and teachers displayed their school spirit by dressing according to the designated dress-up days, and other week-long activities. Students were also busy after school and on weekends with shopping sprees, dates, nights out with friends, and attending various sports events. The students at OHS lead very active lives filled with many things to celebrate. ff 4i X XX M' ' X TUULWTUT ,l ' I f I it 'QP' ff M mx if X Student Life: Erin Schlosser, Editor Tara Walling Student Lifefl5 u A 1. ,f fl' O ., is w ' lFPw. wwf ' .

The Saga of Super Pirate came as a surprise to a few unsuspecting students in the audience who took a major role in the cheerleaders skit. Before the Stinky Sterling Warriors had a chance to foil the Pirates, Super Pirate made his dra- matic entrance and saved the day. After reigning the entire week, it was time for the 1983 Queen and her court to be presented to the student body. Leading the court was freshman atten- dant Dee Anne Moran escorted by Dean Haage. The sophomores chose Cheri Travi as their attendant, escorted by John Rowe. Dave Maier lead junior attendant Nicole Lazar, followed by senior attendant Toni VanLaarhoven and tri-captain Tom Dek- reon. Queen Traci VanLaarhoven, Toni's twin sister was escorted by tri-captain John Biffany who crowned Traci 1983 Homecoming Queen.

Spirit Week had begun! Clinging to Teddy Bears and clothed in night shirts, many students participated in the first day of Spirit Week - pajamaf clash day. For those who did not prefer to wear their night attire, checkered pants, striped shirts, and anything ugly was the dress of the day. On day two, OHS turned the hands of time back to the fifties, and even farther, into ancient Rome - 5O'sftoga day. Found among the leather jackets, bobby socks, and saddle shoes, was the flowing white garb of ancient Romans. Even though they were only bedsheets fsome were even flowered or had Garfield on themj, they showed just how much spirit students had. To catch the spirit on the third day, stu- dents dressed comfortably in sweat shirts and pants, a welcome change from ordi- nary school clothes. Thursday was the day to show that each class did, indeed, have class - dress-up day. There was a different sophistication as students put away their levis and came to school in their Sunday best. Traditionally, spirit week was wrapped up with red and white day, spreading Pirate spirit throughout the entire school. Top.

Parade, Fire, Game, Dance Homecoming Creat Winding down LaSalle Street, the tradi- tional Homecoming Parade led the way to the high school where students, teachers, and Pirate fans gathered around the bon- fire. At 6:30 the parade line started moving from Washington Park down LaSalle Street. Honored as number one Pirate fan, Chuck Hoenes and Earl Polen led the way. Showing their spirit and representing their teams, the fall athletes gathered in various cars and trucks to join the parade. Class officers and even truckloads of students demonstrated their pride in their classes and their Homecoming excitement. Carts pulled by ponies royally presented Queen Traci and her court. Followed by the Pomerettes, the band blared the famil- iar tune of Crimson and White. The main attraction, the varsity football team, was transported by a semi truck. es Excitement With the cheerleaders screaming shouts of number one, the parade moved through downtown Ottawa to the baseball field at OHS. Cheers of encouragement and music from the band rose from the crowd gath- ered around the bonfire in hopes of a Pirate victory. Friday night, however, the Sterling War- riors stopped the hopes of a Homecoming win as the Pirates fell 35-7. Saturday night wrapped the entire week up into one big celebration at the Home- coming dance held from 7-9 p.m. in King- man Gym. The theme, Harvest Moon, set the mood as autumn decorations filled the gym. 'Devastation Run' provided the music as Queen Traci, her court, and all of the stu- dents danced their l983 Homecoming away. ...Z J Homecomingf2l As a spectator, Tom Conner gets a kick out of watch- ing Steve Marmion play an imaginary guitar in the center of the crowd.

Alchemy provided the dance music as the boogie spirit moved through the crowd. The sophomores initiated the danc- ing, and after the ice was broken, enthusi- astic freshmen joined in. As band member John Myers put it, The crowd was great. Everyone really participated. Sophomore Jaime Gerald exclaimed, lt was awesome! l think it was a great place to meet the new freshmen. However, freshman Tim Steep had a dif- ferent opinion. l liked the girls and the music the best. Between dances, freshmen and sopho- mores took a break to enjoy pop, popcorn, and candy that was offered at the conces- sion stand. Last year's sophomore class officers, Tim Myers, president, Dino Einhaus, vice- presidentg Diane Parkins, secretary, and Patty Brockman, treasurer, hosted the dance. Students danced the night away under the direction of a group of sopho- more homeroom teachers. For the freshmen, the 1983 mixer marked the beginning of many high school activities yet to come. As for the sopho- mores, it gave them a chance to be intro- duced to the class of '87 while having a great time. FreshmanfSophomore M1xerf23 Below.

It makes me feel better if l'm dressed in clothes that are cute and in style, junior Yvette Highland explained. Such was the opinion held by many students - both girls and boys. Clothes influenced the lives of a majority of students and the styles they wore were reflected by things such as the movie Flashdance and the period our parents know as the swinging 5O's. With the movie Flashdance came a wave of sweatshirts that were torn at the sleeves and neck leaving a casual, stylish look. Some blared messages of Flash- dance, Physical, and Maniac across the front to add to the trendiness. Saddle shoes, just like Mom used to wear, brought a touch of the 50's into the 8O's. Cardigan sweaters, another popular 50's look, came back to style. ln the preppy department, there were many new trends. To keep the preppies warm, argyle sweaters, sweater vests, and cable knit sweaters, were in. Emblems of polo horses were also found on sweaters and shirts. They were part of the Hunt Club look. And, of course, the lzod alliga- tor was a sign of classy clothes. The preppy style in jeans and pants was striped denim, corduroy, and wool. To keep feet in fashion, the penny loafer was brought back. Fashion accessories became trendy, too. Big, bright earrings, colorful bandanas, and stylish hats were worn by many girls as part of their everyday school clothes. Girls also stole fashion accessories from their father's closet. Menswear neck and bow ties were the perfect complement to an oxford cloth blouse. On the other hand, some students pre- ferred to dress more casually for school. This might have included sweatshirts, OP QOcean Pacificl shirts, Nike, Adidas, and Converse, tennis shoes, and, of course, the favorite pair of faded Levis. Whatever look students chose, it was plain to see that a lot of consideration was put into the fashions they wore. The fun of clothes was to pick what was in style, after all, looking good is feeling good! Leg warmers. jeans, and high heels are popular around Ottawa, as illustrated by Kim Kammerer and Tina Link. Fashion Fadsf25 Every Thursday night before home football games the band perfected their half-time performance. While concentrating on his steps, sophomore Cliff Johnson practices on moving into formation. Practice Does Make Perfect Practice makes perfect - a very old cliche that we have all heard and one that many of the organizations and ath- letic groups have proven to be true. To begin with, there were the fine musical groups. First was orchestra who tuned in and practiced faithfully second hour each day. Although the band members also had a certain hour of the day to attend class, they were also expected to put in many hours on their own at school or home. The extra hours they practiced on Thursday nights made sure their Friday night per- formances were perfect. Along with orchestra and band, the two different choirs put in their share of practices especially when it came time for their choral concerts. Of course, to go along with these fine musicians, there were the talented Renditions who assembled after school to work out all the kinks in their routines. Our more quiet but still important practices, chess and speech, polished their specialties before school and into the late hours of the night. The actors and actresses chosen for the fall and spring plays took their jobs seriously to make their performances the best they could be. Naturally, we have our athletic prac- tices which occurred directly after school each day without fail. At 6:45 a.m. the Pomerettes put in their practice to perfect their half-time performances. The cheerleaders found time after school and on Saturdays to work on their cheers and mounts that kept the crowd's spirit moving at the games. Every organization spent practice time to make their activities enjoyable for others but most of all - themselves! 26fPractices Above.

How many times have you been in this situation, either asking someone out or being asked? Or how many times did you want to see that new scary mov' ie and had no one to go with? What about the time when you really wanted to double date with your best friend? Dating, no matter how you look at it, has most likely affected you at one time or another. Let's face it-all those late night calls were usually about discus- sions on the 900 floor, and cruising on Friday night discussions were usually about that cute girl in geometry or that guy you saw in the passageway. After you finally got a date, where did you go? For most people, catching a movie was the most popular thing to do. Perhaps you went to the 7 o'clock show at the Roxy, then munched out on a chesse and sausage deep dish at Pizza Hut. Maybe a romantic dinner for two at a fancy restaurant was your idea of a fun date. On the other hand, if the funds were a little low, a Big Mac from McDon- alds was fine. Some people might have chosen a more relaxing, quiet date. Spending an evening in your own living room watch- ing T.V. and munching popcorn was an inexpensive, fun, and cozy way to spend a Saturday night. On Friday nights football and basketball games were a great place to take your favorite girl. Probably the most exciting dates of the year were dances. Dances like Homecoming and Sadie Hawkins were thrilling changes from the normal Satur- day night date. lf you were lucky enough to go. And Prom was the most magical date of all. Wherever you went and whoever that special person was weekend dates were worth looking to- ward the weekend forg and that's a great part of high school. 28fDating Left.

Many of you can probably reply, yes. Food, usually junk food, is used by many teenagers as an escape from their problems. Remember the saying We can live on love. Well, this may be true, but when a couple breaks up they make up for all that lost time in the kitchen in one weekend drowning their sorrows in food. Food can also work in the reverse, it is perfect for little friendly get togethers and what better way to get to know that new foxy Junior girl than over a thick, cheesy pizza? lt seems that wherever teenagers are they associate themselves in some way with food. Whether it be the dieter who just wants a taste or the depressed gorger, food has become a very real part of growing up.

This is very often overheard in the halls of Ottawa High School at 3:10 in the afternoon. Hamburgers are quite popular among students for that quick bite, but pizza is preferred when they have more time to sit around and rap. We asked some students from each class what their favorite foods to chow down on were. We received many per- sonal favorites, but the top three in each class were these. Freshmen 1. Pizza 2.

That diet meant giving up chocolate mint ice cream cones, the morning doughnuts from the Pirates cove, and the Snickers candy bars-replacing them with apples, salads, and diet pop. Yes, it was hard to stick to your diet. After all, an apple is hardly a replacement for a candy bar. What about all those times you opened a bag of potato chips and pro- claimed l'll start tomorrow. But cutting down on food is only half the story. Exercise was the other half. lf you were real serious about exercise you might have joined the Slimnastics P.E. class or maybe you exercised by yourself. Sweat- ing those pounds away wasn't easy.

Jogging was the overwhelming choice of the poll as the best exercise. tHow many of you laced up you jogging shoes and hit the streets?J Sit-ups, to keep that spare tire from resting around the waist, was the second choice. For a third prefer- ence, some sort of aerobic exercise pro- gram was chosen. Most common among the excercise programs was the Jane Fonda Workout offered by the Slimnas- tics PE class.

After all, at least 35 hours a week, Monday through Friday, were spent at school. But what about all those extra hours you stayed to get that Renditions routine just right, to work on your computer assignment, or practice basketball? Yes, the week in the life of the typical OHS student was more than at- tending classes and doing homework. Monday was probably the most painful part of the week. You had to drag your- self out of your warm bed as you longed for just two more hours of sleep. This created the Monday Morning Blues. But sooner or later you picked yourself up. After school various practices were held and NHS meetings were held every first Monday of the month. Although Mondays weren't the best, they started off the busy week. Tuesdays were probably the slowest day of the week. For the teachers it meant morning teachers' meetings. And the Pomerettes started off their morning with a 6:30 practice. You probably went to class with a little more energy than Monday because Friday was getting clos- er. During basketball season, an occa- sional non-conference game was played which livened up the day. Depending on how involved you be- came determined how you spent your time in the mornings before school.

Thursday - the end was getting clos- er. Thursday morning started off with 7:50 Key Club meetings which were al- ways good for a free breakfast of dough- nuts while discussing the latest problem or planning the next activity. After school was a busy time for the cheerleaders as they prepared to get the school spirit moving. They worked on the colorful posters that decorated the passageway, student lounge, and lockerrooms. TGIF was a sacred saying in the halls of OHS. Remember how much you looked forward to the end of the week?

Still others may think about the times they had to tell the teacher that it wasn't done. Whatever the case, homework was and will still remain a ma- jor part of the life of any typical OHS stu- dent.

During your years at OHS you are exposed to many different forms of art which are not only educational, but also entertaining. The band and choir provide a spectrum of music to please a variety of tastes, and the Renditions gave us a dance with their songs. All three groups also provided the public with community concerts in the fall and spring. Alice in Wonderland, the fall play, went over well. Many people watched and enjoyed the fairy tale as it came to life in the auditorium. Speech team had another fine year as they performed under the renewed leadership of Mr. John Duffin, and the art department had several students competing in the Scholastic Art Award contest.

Over sixty students auditioned for the group, performing both a vocal and dance audition. Students must belong to band, choir, or orchestra in order to be a member of the Rendi- tions, Directed by Mr. Roger Amm, the swing choir performed throughout LaSalle County, including perfor- mances for schools, community or- ganizations, and an open concert in the spring. Stepping out with challenging roua tines, the Renditions performed num- bers such as the theme from Flash- dance and Starmaker from 'iFame, choreographed by Mrs. Patti Gray. With their unique style and performing ability, the Rendi- tions are sure to carry on their tradi' tion of fine performances established in the past. 46g Renditions , 6 Left. Renditions Members.

Slow Year for Small Orchestra During its seventh year at OHS, the orches- tra's enrollment dropped from eight mem- bers, in 1983, to four. Despite the small number of musicians, ev- ery second hour the group met to study under Mrs. Minnie Lou Marshall, the new director. The orchestra did not hold any concerts because of the lack of necessary instrumenta- tion to perform complicated music scores that could require more than five string instru- sb ff Q . si x lm T '-'wr E ments. However, they played for a Christmas music broadcast on WCMY, the local radio station. Also, on March 3, all four members attended the Solo and Ensemble Contest. This year's orchestra had a very unique learning experience because of a new direc- tor, more individual attention for each person, and an important responsibility to cover each part well. Left.

Alice in Wonderland Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, November 18, 19 and 20, OHS Theater brought Alice in Won- derland to life in the audito- rium. Even though the play was more for younger children, peo- ple of all ages enjoyed the 1983 fall production. The play took us through all of Alice's adventures in the fan- tasy country of Wonderland. After falling through a rabbit hole, Alice, played by Amy Spohr, travels throughout Won- derland speaking with charac- ters such as The White Rabbit, Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter, Mock Turtle, and White Knight, along with many more. For an interesting, yet unpredict- ed ending, Alice becomes Queen Alice. The costumes worn by over 40 actors transformed people into fantasy creatures of Alice's imagination. Complementing the unusual costumes was creative- ly applied makeup, which height- ened the audience's enjoyment. The strategically used props al- lowed viewers to use their own ideas about the landscape of Wonderland. Although only 300 people at- tended each performance, the fall play was a success because of the dedication and hard work not only of the cast, but of the production staff, lighting, sound, and stage crews. All of the peo- ple involved deserve another round of applause for a polished performance and a pleasurable evening of entertainment. -Sue Gullakson l 50fFall Play After arriving in Wonderland, Alice, played by Amy Spohr, ponders her new surroundings.

A new slogan was heard at OHS this winter: We are the M.O.S.T. - the Mighty Ottawa Speech Team! The strong, well-balanced speech team consistently put forth good perfor- mances, placing in the top five at every meet. Capturing six team champion- ships, including North Central Illinois Conference and regional titles, Ottawa earned first place in nine Regional events, advancing a full team to section- al competition. Those participating in sectionals included Brett Boren, Dawn Greer, Amy Spohr, Amy Poskin, Jim Lyle, Amy Besse, Susan Mori, Sue Duf- fin, and Penny Pufahl. Placing second as a team at sectionals, five members - Brett Boren, Dawn Greer, Amy Spohr, Amy Poskin, and Penny Pufahl - com- peted at the State Contest, with Amy Spohr placing third in the State finals. New events this year included a speech team recital at OHS Open House, placing fourth as a team at the prestigious Oak Park lnvitational, and traveling to the Scotie Tournament of Champions at which all team members who had received a first place in regular- season competition participated. The balance of the team was due mainly to the efforts of experienced up- perclassmen and talented novice team members. With the coaching of Mr. John Duffin and Mrs. Susan William- son, the OHS speech team completed a noteworthy season while building a strong base for future endeavors. 1 Speech Team Members. Front.

Artf57 Festival Celebrates lOth Year The tenth anniversary of the Fine Arts Fes- tival proved to be an occasion for celebration as preparations were made for the event. The festival, according to Mr. Bill Myers, has grown into something bigger and better than what l ever imagined it would be. ln- creasing the quality of programming each year has been a major goal of the Fine Arts Club, a student group responsible for plan- ning the contents of the festival. A balanced representation of the arts is achieved through literature, pantomime, com- edy, and various types of music and dance. Features such as the Faculty Showcase and student talent have become very popular. Over 89 students applied for the club, with 36 being accepted. Creative applications were received, such as original songs, posters, po- etry, letters written backwards and on a ba- nana, yearbook layouts, and cheers. Having become well established in the school, the Fine Arts Club will continue to provide us with entertainment as a Celebra- tion of Man's Creative Spirit. -.1:s:s:,'fs.'ff:. wgegfeesififf- - - EE, 1. ,gm .--f ,-et, .... . . . .-....:..:Q:iz.:-I:-V5-1FVifi i?'f53i-ff' A- . me .C W. . as ms Right.

Participation is the way to belong, and getting involved is easy to do. The organizations at OHS provide leadership, services, and fun for everyone. Each organization offers something a little bit differ- ent so that everyone can find something that suits his needs. Cheerleaders supported the Pirates through the year as they helped to spark school spirit and enthusiasm. The Pomerettes provided Pirate fans with half-time entertainment at all home football and basketball games. Yearbook and Buccaneer staffs strived to meet deadline after deadline so that a school newspaper and yearbook could be completed. NHS members gave some of their time and effort to provide services for both the students and community. And the student council gave students a chance to learn and be a part of a governing body. Organizations and the extras they offer for everyone are just one more reason to celebrate. X XT X , P f' !x,,4-X .

Advisor Miss Marla Smith and Co-editors Robin Chalus and Caroline Snook led the staff to complete another yearbook, thus hoping to live up to the award winning reputation OHS has devel- oped in the past years. Over the summer five members of the yearbook staff and Miss Smith went to Rockford College to a work- shop. They learned more about taking pictures, draw- ing layouts, themes, copy, covers, and graphics. Miss Smith, Chalus, Snook, and Erin Schlosser also visited the Josten's American Yearbook Com- pany in Topeka, Kansas, last fall. During their visit 60 f Yearbook they toured the plant, met with art director Steve Max- well, and decided upon the theme and cover design of this book. For the first time ever the senior portrait section is in full color. This was made possible by a donation from the senior class and was done with the intention of making it an annual part of the book. Due to the Flood of 82 the Publications Office has all new desks and file cabi- nets. lt added to the im- provement of the office, but final redecorating has not yet been accomplished. The staff sold shirts, cork- boards, and key chains in or- der to raise money for work- shops and extras in the book. Above.

That was a common phrase for the second hour Journalism class who met and - yes - occasionally missed their dead- lines for the Buccaneer, the school's monthly news magazine. The Buc, advised by Miss Marla Smith, was run by the Editor-in-Chief, Mary Ann O'Shea. Along with Manag- ing Editor, Wendy Grennan, the Feature Editor Erin Schlosser wrote the various features and the record reviews. The sports section was written by Daryl Deckard, Sports Editor. All the news stories were written by the second hour Journalism class. Along with the regular stories in each Buc, students had a chance to send messages to their friends through the personals column. Students also got to share the opinions in the student poll column. It seemed as though the whole world has turned to computers, and the Buc was no exception. Miss Smith did the final type setting on the TSR-80 comput- ers. However, the whole paper would not have been possible if it weren't for the printing done by the Vocational Graphic Arts class. The publication of the Buc was due to the dedication and hard work of the staff and everyone who participated. Front. Grant Jenkins, Pat Feehan. Middle. Margo Wilson, Leslie Stohr, Jeff Dulian, Back.

H Busy Year for Cheerleaders School spirit and enthusiasm were generat- ed throughout the year by the cheerleaders. They led bleachers full of cheering students during both pep assemblies and various sports events. With the help of Varsity Captain Wendy Piller and Junior Varsity Captain Cathy Dillier along with cheerleading sponsors Mrs. Gen Hall and Miss Marla Smith all three cheerlead- ing squads kept a busy schedule. Organizing pep assemblies, arranging the Homecoming parade, and co-operating the concession stand with the Key Club during boy's basket- ball games were a few of their responsibilities. ln addition to this the girls also decorated the Passageway and team locker rooms to show support for the athletes and remind stu- dents of upcoming football and basketball 64fCheerleaders games. The cheerleaders practiced up to three times a week as well as cheering at most home volleyball, wrestling, and girl's basketball games, and all football and basket- ball games. During the summer the cheerleaders were not idle either. The girls attended a National Cheerleaders Association Camp in Rockford, taught grade school girls various cheerleading skills during the summer recreation program and at Young Cheerleaders Camp in Aurora. They also ran a car wash to help pay for new uniforms. ln January the Varsity squad participated in the Cerebral Palsy Telethon held at the South Town Mall and made a small donation to help the cause.

The girls have practices two or three mornings a week at 6:30 a.m. They also have it Wednesday after school for two hours and Saturday mornings when needed. All the hard work paid off when they performed in three different parades and annual contests, as well as the usu- al performances at home football and basketball games. They also kept busy with local performances like the May- fest, the Cerebral Palsy Telethon, and local nursing homes. Sponsoring the squad was Mrs. Jack- ie Dimmick, with co-captains Jennifer Engels and Amy Meagher. The tri-squad leaders were Erin Schlosser, Robin Chapman, and Debbie Bute.

Student council sponsored many activities. The Homecoming dance, eighth grade visitation, Secret Admir- er's Day, and parents visitation day were sponsored, in addition to attend- ing District Student Council meet- ings and workshops which are held twice a year. Approximately fifty schools were represented at district meetings which were held at junior colleges throughout northern Illinois. Council members participated in group ac- tivities, listened to guest speakers, and talked with other council mem- bers. Fund raising activities were selling bumper stickers and painter hats with some of the proceeds going to the athletic department and to Fine Arts.

Many students would also agree that when their last exam is completed, or a long awaited weekend rolls around, there is a real reason to celebrate. N Academics: Molly Phelan, Editor Lisa Mettille Academicsf 75 English lll A New 'Must' Among the many academic classes, English seems to have the widest variety of classes ranging from journalism to mass media to English lll. The general opinion of juniors about the newly required English lll class was that it was too boring and too hard. Other stu- dents felt that it was okay but could have been better. Jayna Meglan said, It could have been better, but this was the first year so maybe it will improve. Steve Norsen's reply was a bit different, lt was all right but could have been better. There should have been more Poe. Even Miss Jean Reuther said it was diffi- cult for the students because . . . early American Literature is boring. However, she did a lot of out-of-the ordinary things to make her English lll class more interesting. Miss Reuther feels that . . . literature is meant to be performed. Based on this feeling, she decided to perform and demon- strate a section in the English books on Negro Spirituals. Eric Swearingen was the one asked to sing, Eric began singing on his own but was soon joined by Miss Reuther's next door neighbor, Miss Marla Smith.

This was another way to demonstrate how lit- for All Juniors erature should be performed, not just read and discussed. However, no matter how interesting a class can be at times, there is always some boredom and hard work involved. Journal- ism is a good example of hard work. What many people don't realize is that the journalism class writes many of the stories for both the Buccaneer and year- book. For a class of 35 this is no problem. But for the nine members in this year's class, things got quite hectic. lt requires a lot of extra work including interviews, pic- tures, and typing. Taking pictures was the easiest part. lt involved nothing more than aiming and pushing a button. However, changing film for Grant Jenkins, anyway, was a little more difficult. lt all started when Grant took Miss Smith's camera to use one weekend. ln the process of rewinding the film to replace it with a new roll, he pulled too soon and the entire roll was ruined. lt was weeks before the ruined pictures were able to be retaken. When asked how he felt about the inci- dent, Grant frowned and sadly replied, I felt embarrassed and l felt like crawling under a rock. Miss Smith was not very sympathetic. Neither were the students. Many English classes are overlooked such as the General English classes and the sophomores' favorites, speech and composition. But, whatever you take, Eng- lish is an important part of a good educa- tion. 76fEngIish Chris Dorsey looks over Bret Bretag's shoul- der to make sure he did today's assignment correctly. s. 2 c s .

Said Than Able Math is a subject that is neces- sary for the college-bound stu- dent. Although OHS only re- quires one year of math for graduation, it is not uncommon to find colleges that require or recommend four years of high school math. Many different math courses are offered in order to place stu- dents in a class they can keep up with and understand. Math l and ll are remedial classes for stu- dents whose understanding of math is below the average fresh- man level. Algebra l, geometry, Algebra ll, and Pre-Calculus are the classes most students choose. Starting with algebra through Pre-Calculus all these are offered in an accelerated sec- tion. The difference? Students enrolled in the accelerated sec- tion cover material faster, and have more homework to study to Do on the average night. Also offered in the math sec tion is a computer class, taught by Mr. Bob Brue in room 709 the Apple Orchard. Why the Apple Orchard ? Every computer in 709 is manu- factured by the Apple Computer Company. Currently, OHS owns 18 Apple ll computers, plus 3 Apple lll computers, just re- ceived last fall. Mr. Brue enjoys teaching this Y 1 ii All , if-,s:.. class, and has commented that he has learned from his students, too. As Brian Freese put it, These computers can do any- thing, if you tell them how. One last word of free advice: Talk to your counselor and think about your future.

Mathf79 Biology: The Big Dread Feel like Albert Einstein? Many students who come to Ottawa do after they meet the science requirements in order to graduate. Most students start meet- ing their requirements sopho- more year by taking biology. But even though biology is the most common science class that is taken, it is also the most feared. Biology offers a chance for students to learn about micro- organisms and the body. But the most fun of it is cutting up the small creatures that walk, swim, and hop. By doing this a student can learn about the insides of living things, the way the organs work, and what they do. But some still say that is not their cup of tea or too gross for them to handle, so they turn to a class that can teach them everything they always wanted to know about rocks, space, and earth histo- ry. This class is none other than earth science. Studying about rocks can be a whole world of fun. They BO! Science can tell earth history, what the earth is made of, and how long the earth has been here. But studying rocks is not the only thing done. Maybe a person has a liking for space. A lot of people do find that studying the heavens is re- warding, and a lot of fun. And by some mishap students might learn something. One of the more popular classes at Ottawa is chemis- try. Many take it their last year to prepare for college. lt offers a chance to work with chemicals. Yet there are those who do not want to work with danger- ous chemicals and life threat- ening experiments that are done in chemistry so they turn to physics. lt is a class where a student has to dig into his mind to pull out the right idea to solve a problem. Much of math is needed to know how to do many of these problems. There are two classes that teach in greater detail, ad- vanced biology and advanced chemistry.

Ottawa High School is no exception to the thriving, demanding use of computers. Computer classes have become one of the most popular courses to be of- fered. Typing classes are now comput- er keyboarding classes. Other classes offered include data processing and large usage in some math and office procedure classes. Word processing and data process- ing have almost maintained their place in today's society as a requirement for some jobs. Looking into the future it is predicted that the use of computerized machines may take over many of Figure lt Out man's duties in the working world. Computers may come across to some as confusing and useless, but when learned as fascinating and help- ful not only with work but also in fur- thering one's education and intelli- gence, they can become a real asset. Relaxing after completing his assignment, senior Bill Byczynski settles down to a mind boggling game on his computer. 82fComputers X.- .,r? 55 ffl' Z ilrf-5 Far left. Because this was the first year of computers used in typing class, in- structor's expertise was sometimes put to the test.

More freshman are be- coming interested in computers, but they're not all fun and games as shown here by Michelle Morecraft as she ponders over a problem with her assignment. Computers are not always a lot of hard work, but also can be a source of enjoyment for teachers and students as illustrated by Miss Grace Reichert and Jane Pastoric. In order to become proficient on a computer it is necessary to spend some free time in the computer's room. Junior Arnie Crum seems to enjoy his time spent in room 206. Computersf83 Students Go on Tour How would you like to be one of the 21 students to serve as a member or official on the LaSalle County Board? Out of all the schools in LaSalle Coun- ty, Ottawa was chosen. Seventy-eight petitions were submit- ted from all of the LIS History classes. The primary elections were held on October 27 and the final election on November 8. Nine students served as officials and twelve served as board members. The LIS History classes also kept busy studying for September 19, the day they all sat down to remember their three weeks of work to pass the LIS Constitution and the Illinois state and flag constitution tests. The tests enable students to understand the four levels of government: federal, state, county, and local. But after the test was over and the tension and pressure were gone, students felt relieved and things got back to normal. The special LIS History classes also had a busy year. On October 14, Mr. Tom Henderson and Mr. Ken Inman took their classes for a tour through LaSalle County. The tour consisted of a 2Vz hour tour through the city of- fices, the police and fire station, Red- dicks Mansion, the Appellate Court, and Wallace Mansion. Another popular class taken by many students is Minorities. Minorities was originally founded in 1970 by Mr. Emeric Dusic. The purpose of this class is to educate students about dif- ferent ethnics and cultures in Amer- ica. Mr. Ron Spandet, minorities teach- er, hopes that by making students aware that there is good in all people, some of the prejudice will be eliminat- ed in our society. He also commented, The class teaches cooperation and appreciation of other people and to love your fellow man. But LIS History and minorities are only a part of the social science classes offered. Students are required to take World History I or II or Consum- er Economics I or II. World History is a class that studies anything from prehistoric man 84fSocial Science through the Renaissance period. Be- sides world history, consumer eco- nomics, and LIS History, students have to have another two semesters of so- cial science classes to meet the gradu- ation requirements. Other classes offered are sociology, current problems, personality and be- havior and psychology. These classes are offered to sophomores, juniors and seniors.

'ska Q... ff y 1 I 1 v ff 51 f r Foreign Language - Classic Need Fantiastico! This is what some stu- dents consider their foreign language class. Fantastico is the Spanish word for fantastic. Foreign languages can become very important during the four years of a high school student, since two years of a foreign language is a re- quirement to get into many four year colleges. Choices for a language are Spanish, German, and French. Courses l and ll meet the basic re- quirement for the college destined person, and courses lll and lV help the student become fluent in speak- ing the language. By the fourth year, the student's vocabulary expands along with his knowledge of the sub- ject. During the third year, however, students may be expected to do a five to ten minute demonstration speech in the language. Language has been used as part of classical education since Ottawa High School was founded, com- mented Mr. Steve Malinsky, one of the two Spanish teachers. Mr. Malinsky has been teaching Spanish l, ll, and lll for twelve years, while Mr. Curt Williams, Department Chairman, teaches the second and fourth year students. Mr. Sylvio Les- sard teaches all of the French classes while Miss Heather Pollner teaches 88X Language Top. Taking a break, Kris Stohl and Jill Saleda look at their Spanish ll magazines. Above.

Some of the teaching tech- niques used by foreign lan- guage teachers are worked into a daily or weekly program. These techniques consist of drill work which is one of Mr. Malinsky's specialities. Drill work helps get the students to use their new language and to become aware of it, replied Mr. Malinsky. Jokes, reading aloud in class, and study sheets are among the other teaching tools used. lt was a tough course, moaned Greg Struel, German student, but it was interest- ing. lt was all right, comment- ed Steve Klein, Spanish stu- dent, l think it was one of the most interesting intellectual ex- periences that l have encoun- tered. While some students take foreign language because it is interesting, others take it to help them in the future. Pat Murphy truthfully admits, I don't really like Spanish, but it meets a requirement to go to college. Whatever excuses other peo- ple have for taking or not tak- ing a foreign language it can be a good learning experience that will be helpful in the future and interesting as well. Hasta luego!

Languagej89 Sophs Have Dibs Among all the classes soph- omores take, the three most common are drivers educa- tion, health, and physical edu- cation. Drivers education is split into three divisions: the class- room, the Aetna simulator, and on the road driving. The Aetna simulators are machines designed to prepare the student for actual on the road driving. Films are shown and students drive along as if they really were in a car. Along with the films, tests are given over material. The classroom is where stu- dents learn about the rules of the road, insurance, and infor- mational situations. Tests and quizzes are given over chap- ters and units that have been completed. Actual on the road driving begins after completion of the Aetna and when the student has hisjher driver's permit. Once in the car the student gets used to actual driving and is taken on side streets and then gradually brought into town. After the regular driving lessons the student takes the six mile road check. Driving instructor Mr. Ralph Nelson was asked what the most common mistake students make while in the car and he replied, 'iWell, they go to let the brake re- lease off and wind up pulling the hood release and that pops open the hood. That al- ways gives them a good scare. Health is a class that most students usually take their sophomore year, but a few ju- niors and seniors also take it. Health is required by state law. Each student must take and pass a semester of it be- fore he can graduate. Health is designed to make students aware of their body and to teach them to take care of it. Nutrition, sex edu- cation, and drug abuse are dealt with. Physical education is a class where all students can forget about homework for a period and get some fresh air. For the freshmen, PE classes are already chosen. They range from weightlifting to gymnastics. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors are al- lowed to chose their own classes, such as bowling, ten- nis, or even fishing. Physical education is a re- quired subject. Eight semes- ter hours are needed to gra- duate. Below. Showing their enjoyment of square dancing soph omore Mike Nevins escorts LeeAnn Penoyer back to heir home position. Bottom.

PEf Drivingj9i 'Hands-On' Work In Vo-Ed Vocational classes provide a wealth of opportunity, experience, and education for each student enrolled. The equipment available for hands on experience is unsurpassed by any oth- er school in the area. Rather than reading about it in a textbook or watching it on television, the chance to actually work on a car, fix a radio, build a stereo case, work at a hospital, and even build a home is offered. Even with financial backing from school funds, students are required to pay a shop fee. Fees vary from class to class, the cheapest being S4 a year, to the most ex- pensive being 514. The biggest and most important goal of the vocational department is to develop skills that are applicable in the industrial environment, said Mr. Roger Hooper, drafting instructor. Students are taught the basic fundamentals of how to weld, wire, design, create, and imagine. This area is one reason the program is such a success, the students themselves have the opportunity to make their own projects for grades. Upon graduation, there are jobs and trade schools available to fur- ther their careers in the different specific fields. Though most of the classes are viewed as guys only, girls may enroll. They are few in number but there are some that have decided to take up an interest in a During graphic arts class freshmen Joel Kern confers with his teacher Mr. Bill Ragan about some of the required bookwork. 921 Vocatonal Programs . ,M 1 X -U1 Top.

The most popular class for a girl is electronics, while drafting is a close runner-up. Vocational classes do not just consist of metals, welding, woods, auto mechanics, electronics, drafting, graphic arts, and building trades. Other fields that differ drastically from the industrial world are vocational health care and vocational clothing. These two classes give girls a chance to pursue careers which, for most, would be of more interest to them. Health care deals mainly with preparing students for a career in nursing. The exper- ience for these students is actually work- ing at a hospital. They aide patients, through the giving of fresh water, and help in the feeding. ln addition to this, students also help in the discharging of patients by as ef! carrying luggage and flowers. On the con- trary, these same students make the beds and clean the rooms for new patients com- ing in. Another vocational class which is of- fered to girls is clothing. Taught by Mrs. Vicki Alsene, girls learn to sew everything from quilts to dresses. Vocational clothing can provide a future career in fashion de- sign and sewing. When the vocational program is put into proper perspective, it doesn't just fill up a class hour or two. lt educates, informs, and prepares for the future. Our school is fortu- nate in the fact that we have such a pro- gram and the instructors to teach us.

That's one thing that the coop class achieves, according to Mr. Michael Clinch, advisor. Being able to make an hourly salary while doing so on school time is a big plus for coop people. Students in- volved in this program average 15-20 hours per week and make from mini- mum wage on up. Although the money is a nice bene- fit for students, there are many more advantages that make this class a worthwhile time investment. To begin with, a student does not have to have a job previous to signing up for the class.

Coop gives students the chance to learn how to function in the field of work, develop an appreciation for the working world, and become familiar with the many different career choices. There is more to the coop program than just working at a job. Class time plays a major role in educating stu- dents in several different aspects of the problem and questions that may ,Q ix, si Q .. was T 3, ...,. .ff ,N tv wt ,, , ,,,., 64' i,,, ,A all av ,,,,,-at ,Mina 1 1 1 ,wan A- ' W ff' ff' 4' A235522 M4 M4 ',,a ',f Mffn V I' arise while working. Some of the things covered in class are business management, income tax, and social security tax. Guest speakers from area companies who hold prominent posi- tions also add to the class for better understanding the working world. lt has been said that college is not for everyone. The coop program is an alternative for the person who isn't col- lege bound. Though some sacrifices occur along the lines of school activi- ties and socializing, the program is beneficial in that it not only is credit, but it also helps in planning one's fu- ture after high school. www F Q 5 1 4 , Carol Habben checks over her work carefully to prevent errors as she works at lllinois Trust and Savings. vrre c, ni Hffwfni Trying to keep busy, Doug Peed searches through the parts manual at Smyser Auto Parts to check on a price. 491106 Hd? Co-Opf 95 Doughnuts Replace Sawdust At the beginning of the year, the air on the 100 floor was filled with the smell of sawdust. The food service room had been remodeled over the summer. The kitchen was totally stripped and the traditional Ll-shaped kitchen was replaced by what is called block units. They now have a vocational kitchen which very few foods classes have. Later, the smell of sawdust was replaced by the aroma of hot fresh doughnuts and the Pirates Cove was back to normal. Priates Cove is a means by which the vocational classes can learn to cook in large quantities and also make money by selling their food. But the students' work doesn't end with just the two hours the students spend in class. From 7 to 8:30 a.m. some of the students make doughnuts for the bakery. ln return they receive some pocket money. They also have a snack bar, serve meals during lunch hours and cater to organizations both in school and out. There probably wouldn't be a Pirates Cove if it weren't for Miss Bev Madsen. You have to believe in it, said Miss Madsen, even when you want to throw in the towel. Everything always seems to work out all right. Vocational Foods Service is a class that not only pre- pares students who are planning to go into a field of cooking but also those who just want to perfect their cooking skills. The food service classes aren't the only classes on the 100 floor which prepare students for future roles in life. Parenting and Child Development is a two semester course which is offered to juniors and seniors. This class prepares students to raise their own children. Students learn to take care of children by running different nurseries throughout the year. The class studies the develop- mental stages of children. Much of the classroom time is spent in learning about proper safety, health, nutrition and caring for the children. Parenting is not like any other class. There are no desks in the room, instead there are toys. Students can only get first- hand experience by working with the child- ren. The parenting class holds four nurseries a year. The first one is for children ages 3 to 5. The second nursery is the infants followed by the toddlers. The last two are three week nurseries held at the end of the year for ages 2 to 5. Vocational Child Care is a two hour class for two year Parenting and Child Develop- ment students. These students are focus- ing in on the quality care of other people's children from newborn to school age. Stu- dents are prepared to move into jobs fol- lowing high school or go on to advanced training. The course is a good background for future teachers, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and case workers. 96X Home Economics Carefully demonstrating how to place a pattern on material, sophomores Dawn Bennett and Tina Heple assist Mrs. Vicki Alsene during sewing class.

Home Economicsj97 Special Ed Vital for Some When some students come to Ottawa, they find that taking the classes that most everyone else does is not just for them. So, they turn to special classes. Some classes range from study skills to an alternate school. Study skills is a class for the kids who might have some prob- lems reading. lt can also teach students how to improve their study habits so they can do better in school. The alternate school is for those who run across some kind of trouble and need some other sort of way to receive their educa- tion. The alternate school finds the time to work with the people who come there. Things move more slowly than they would in other schools. But for the one who does need a little more help than others, basic skills is offered. This class teaches the ba- sic things, such as basic use of English and math. There are also a few other classes that are offered for the people who find the regular classes a little too hard. These classes are in history, biology, math and English as a second language. Special education at Ottawa is a good program for the students who need it. 98fSpecial Programs Mrs. Joan Castelli gives a helping hand to Jeff McCague as he completes his final lap around Kingman Gym during PE.

Crucial turnovers against top notched opponents were the key factors that resulted in the eight defeats.

What he wanted for older men is now played by both male and female of all ages, and is a very competitive sport requiring ability and endurance. During World Wars l and ll, volley- ball became popular among United States service personnel, and they helped to make it an international sport. The governing body of the sport in CLS. competition is the CLS. Volleyball Association located in New York.

There are two kinds of diving, spring- board diving and platform diving, and fl . Diving emphasizes technique rather than endurance or speed as swimming does. A diver can reach a speed up to 30 mph while approaching the water. There are five basic kinds of dives: For- ward, Backward, Reverse Inward, and Forward with a half twist. There are, however many variations of dives and most contain somersaults. most schools use the springboard div- i g , i i 25 Z l f 5 K 5 ' 'S 3? ii fs, 1 i S , i, f i 3, 1 ,Mw- ., Aff' Far left.

The carvings and drawings were found to be 15,000 to 20,000 years old and show more than 500 wrestlers in various holds. According to the Old Tes- tament, Jacob wrestled God in the form of a man. it is also known that Presi- dents Washington and Lincoln were very skillful wrestlers. Wrestling was introduced into the Olympics in Greece in 708 B.C. and be- came popular in England in the early- middle ages. Above. Front.

Mr. George W. Hancock, of the Far- ragut Boat Club of Chicago, used a 16- inch ball, whose seams iooked like ridges because they were turned tothe outside, to play his style of softball. Lewis Raber of Minneapolis developed the game for outdoor play in 1895, using a 12-inch ball that had a hard cover like that of a baseball. The pre- sent game of softball was derived from Rabefs version. Q H Since baseball wasps popuiar and looked upon as a emarfsesport, women soon adopted softball as their game. Junior Varsity Softball.

Prior to using rackets, players useditheir hands to hit the ball. Rackets intensified the game T and made lit lmuch more exciting. That same year, American Sportswe- ren Mary Outerhridge introduced the game and equipment to theilnited States. Tennis courts sprang up all over the country. The first professional com' petition was the Wimbeidors Tourna' ment The faculty. Yes, the teachers that you liked because they sometimes gave you a free day. Once, in a great while, they could be persuaded to let you have a doughnut run. They were also the same teachers you despised when they pulled out a pop quiz or a fill-in-the-blank and essay test. The same teachers -- a different day. So what is there to celebrate? How about the leadership and time they give us throughout each year? They spend time preparing for us to come to their classesg they spend time with us during classg and then they spend time grading what we did. All because they care about us and our futures. And if that isn't enough, 55 per cent of our teachers are in- volved in extra-curricular activities. We have good reason to celebrate our faculty. ff I I 1 li ly ,, H f, W V i i ,1 H f my t h M ill I l Qi X Faculty: Wendy Grennan, Editor Sherri Matthew Teri Sagi Faculty! 129 Morehead, Don, ' School Board President Armstrong, John, School Board Member Besse, William, School Board Member Galley, Maynard, School Board Member Gleim, John, Mr.: School Board Member Pienta, Joseph, Mr.: School Board Member Yednock, Twila, Mrs.: School Board Member Gehring, Lawrence, Dr.: Superintendent Johnston, Edward, Mr,: Principal Fread, Ken, Mr.: Administrative Assistant Murphy, Thomas, Mr.: Assistant Principal Byram, Donald, Mr.: Dean of Students, Athletic Director Adrian, Harry, Mr.: English Alsene, Vicki, Mrs,: Home Economics Amm, Roger, Mr.: Music, Renditions Anderson, Kenneth, Mr,: Science l30fFaculty Ulf M 5 -.. 2 'Developing Pride lmportant' Clinch Coop gives an opportunity to ex- plore career options while they are still young. l like being a part of a student's career decision process, explained Mr. Michael Clinch, Coop Coordinator and Vocational Director at Ottawa High. Mr. Clinch has been at OHS for l7 years, five of which he taught all business subjects. ln 1971 he be- came involved in the Cooperative Education program. As a Coop Coor- dinator, Mr. Clinch's job is to find training stations for students in the area that they think they have a vo- cational interest, to work with the employer in developing the student's training schedule, and to check the progress on a regular basis. ln my mind the most important part of my job is placing a student in a good training situation and being certain that the coop experience is the best thing for the student and to .ss ' i 'at help him increase his abilities and responsibilities in the world of work, emphasized Mr. Clinch. He also feels that it is important to teach students the skills to be a productive member of our community. Another goal for him is to help the student develop a sense of pride and a positive self con- cept. As well as being a Coop Coordina- tor, Mr. Clinch is also the Vocational Director for OHS and the ticket man- ager. He's involved with a number of school activities which he really en- joys. ln his spare time, he teaches for IVCC at night and spends much time with his wife and two son. He enjoys doing things with his family whether it be canoeing, traveling, or going to sports events. His only real hobby is golf which he hopes to play more of as his sons are old enough to start playing.

Ms. Smith has been the yearbook advisor for ll years, collecting nu- merous honors and awards com- mending her and her loyal staffs along the way. When asked about how she felt about these awards, Ms. Smith sim- ply said, Great! l'm particularly proud of last year's book being an overall winner at Eastern Illinois. She was also excited about the Co- lumbia Scholastic Press Association awards. The sad part of awards is that the staff who did the book has already graduated by the time we find out we've won, and they aren't here to share the excitement, she commented. Ms. Smith's job consists of orga- nizing the staff and their duties, using her patience and guidance to keep all staff members and their work under control, setting deadlines, and many other duties too numerous to men- tion. She thinks the most important part of her job is the communication and rapport between the editors, staff, and herself. She enjoys work- ing with the staff and sharing differ- ent ideas. Ms. Smith's satisfaction comes from working with the staff and see- ing the 'finished' book after everyone has put work hard and patience into it. Besides carrying the responsibility of yearbook advisor, Ms. Smith also teaches sophomore composition, journalism, English lll, she is the Buc- caneer advisor, and co-cheerleading advisor. ln her spare time, Ms. Smith dir- ects her church choir and is Sunday School superintendent. The yearbook is extremely impor- tant to Ms. Smith. At all times we try to keep in mind that the book is for the students of Ottawa High School during a particular year. lt's a service we perform for the student body, a fair representation of each year. I try to impress that upon the entire staff.

Besides being a science teacher she has been attending DePaul Universi- ty night classes to study law. Mrs. Stockley became interested in law while taking a class in real estate taught by a lawyer. Her hus- band also has an interest in this sub- ject. When asked why she is interested in law, Mrs. Stockley replied, You spend most of your life following laws and some are not good. So if you are in a position to do so, you can do something about it. On the subject of having the same interest as her husband, Mrs. Stock- ley felt that there are both good and bad points. They have a common in- terest and knowledge about law which they can discuss together, but they also have disagreements and some differing views. Mrs. Stockley enjoys teaching be- cause she enjoys working with peo- ple. lt makes me feel good when l see someone understand something fulfulling, she commented. ln her spare time, she likes to sail and ski. 1,8 Miller, Larry, Mr.: Industrial Education Milosevich, Nick, Mr.: Physical Education Moran, James, Mr.: Business Education Morgan, Tony, Mr.: Special Education, Assistant Freshman Football, Assistant Boys Tennis Myers, William, Mr.: English, Head Sophomore Football, Fine Arts Club .0 K Naeve, Linda, Miss: Special Education 'lflijfg N I Nelson.

Receiving the Administrator of the Year award, Mr. Ed Johnston, princi- pal, feels much appreciation toward the faculty for nominating him. Mr. Johnston is one of four winners in the state. Mr. Johnston has been at OHS since 1957 when he started teaching vocational classes. Already having an administrative certificate he ap- plied for the open principal position and was accepted by the board of education. Being principal, Mr. John- ston is in charge of the education program, referring to curriculum, teachers, students, and extra-curricu- lar activities. I enjoy my job very much for be- ing able to keep in touch with teach- ers and students. I have many oppor- tunities to meet the students who do .!v '- if :nl if 'Boss' l f of the Year well in school, and I enjoy taking de- tentions on Fridays so I can get to know the students who are having difficulties Because he is not in contact with twenty-five or more students for five hours a day, Mr. Johnston feels he can be more patient than a class- room teacher. Working with wood has always been one of Mr. Johnston's pleasures outside of his job, and he is presently building a house for himself which keeps him busy. Also occupying his free time is going to extra-curricular activities such as plays, athletic events, and dances. This is a respon- sibility shared by all administrators, but to Mr. Johnston it's a pleasure worthwhile.

T f Er -i P ibn., Makeever Retires After 34 Years Dedication is one word that de- scribes Mr. Ray Makeever when it comes to his Ottawa High School band. Mr. Makeever has been directing the OHS band for the past 34 years and feels that it is worth all the time and work put into it. l feel that over the years the band has been consis' tently strong, and the members have sought excellence throughout these years, commented Mr. Makeever. This search for excellence has helped them earn a first division rat- ing in band competitions for the past 30 years. The best thing to Mr. Makeever about his job is working with the young people. He has few complaints concerning his job. The most exciting highlights of my 34 years of directions include playing at Soldier Field for a crowd of over 80,000 people, and in December of 1964 when the band was invited and played for the Midwest National Band Clinic in Chicago performing for a prestigious group of over 5,000 of the best directors, replied Mr. Ma- keever when asked about the high- lights of his quite lengthy career. Tour is a big part of the band pro- gram. The two main goals of touring are to keep students interested in playing during the summer months and to provide an educational exper- ience for members of the band. The first tour started in 1956 and the band now tours every other year leaving their total tour count at 14. Mr. Makeever retired at the end of this school year.

Those three words mean a lot to high school students. ln four years of high school students are faced with many challenges, from the first day you walked through the doors of OHS as a freshman, to making decisions about the future, to receiving your diploma at graduation. During your high school years, you met alot of people and made many friends. These people are the ones you go to school with, work with, go out with, and have fun with. Some of these friendships may last for only a semester, while others will last forever. lf it weren't for these people that you spend five days a week with for four years, there would be no reason to celebrate.

Lisa has been dancing for ten years and for that same period has studied acrobat and ballet. For eight years she has studied tap and jazz. Lisa dances un- der the direction of Bob Hoenes. The Fine Arts Festival was only part of the dancing Lisa does. She is also a mem- ber of the Pomerette squad, and has danced with some of Mr. Hoenes' other dancers in the Pink Ladies Follies, the 1 'Fame' inspires Fame Miss Ottawa Pageant, and for some other small organizations Lisa's mother has been her biggest in- fluence in getting her started dancing when she was young, but Mr. Hoenes inspires her to use her talent. When asked if she would like to be- come a professional dancer, the petite sophomore replied, To become a dancer you have to move to a big city. The work isn't steady, it requires long hours, hard work, and dancing can be your only goal. Lisa wants to attend college to study engi- neering but continue to dance.

RSBEQ. Boarding Schools Vs. Ottawa High lf one has ever been interested in experienc- ing different cultures and a different way,of life, a good way to do it is to attend a boarding school for a year. That is exactly what Amanda and Susan Thornton did. For the past three years from seventh through ninth grade they have attend' ed different schools. Susan has mainly been in the east attending McDuffies, an all girls boarding school in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Fay School in Boston,Massachusetts,for her eighth and ninth grade years. I really liked Fay. lt had a good reputation and had a very good sport system, commented Susan on her stay at Fay School. She has been active in sports because they are required in place of gym class. She was the captain of the LaCrosse Team for two years and also played field hockey, basketball, and indoor tennis, but LaCrosse was her favorite. Amanda has experienced both the eastern and western cultures. ln seventh grade she at- tended Fay School and in eighth and ninth grades attended Aspen Country Day in Aspen, Colorado. l wanted to experience a taste of both cul- tures, commented Amanda. She was also ex- tremely active in sports participating in tennis, LaCrosse, soccer, and received the most valu- able player award in cross country. Both of them agree that they enjoy being home and like the public school system, but then again they do miss some things about the boarding school life.

Marina said it was love at first sight when she saw Mr. Springfield on American Bandstand two years ago. After that debut appearance, he became Dr. Noah Drake on the popu- lar soap opera General Hospital. Marina was sure to watch every epi- sode possible in hopes to see Dr. Drake. Since that first day Marina saw him, she began collecting posters of Mr. Springfield. She now has 35 post- ers on her walls and many more that she doesn't have room for. Marina has also collected five out of Mr. Springfield's six albums. ln addition to these items this Rick lover also has three T-shirts, four pins, two con- cert pictures, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, and a concert advertise- ment poster. When 'asked to describe Mr. Springfield in concert, Marina smiled and said, He's sexy, energetic, and becomes friends with the audience. Her most memorable moment was the first concert when she touched the star's limosine. lt is obvious that Marina is a devot- ed and dedicated Rick Springfield fan. When asked what sppeals to her most about him, she replied with a big smile, All six foot two of him! -- Margo Wilson Jennifer Dougherty Darci Dubach Jill Duerksen Mike Duffield Susan Duffin Heather Dunn Suzanne Dunn Jessica Eby Karen Eighner Lee Ann Eisert Tracy Ellis Kelly Engel James Erickson Jon Erickson Holly Ericzon Patrick Feehan James Feely Christopher Ferguson Scott Ferguson Kimberly Fitzgerald Clinton Foster James Freeman John Fuller Donald Gaddis Shelly Gage Richard Gaul Dawn Gedye Alfred Girard Donald Goodchild Gina Goode Richard Gould Ronald Gould Paula Govero Sarah Grammer Joseph Granados Ellen Graunke Brenda Greer Juniorsfi55 1561 Juniors Thomas Gregor Mary Gregory Michelle Grubar John Guerrero Susan Gullakson Anne Gustin Mandi Hall Mike Hall Gaylene Halm Stephen Hanley Bradley Hayes Douglas Hearn Todd Heermann Timothy Helffrich Michael Hess Yvette Highland Denise Hillyer Stephanie Himebaugh Matthew Holimon Jon Horn Rick Huftel Joyce Hughes Teri Husted Sheila Hynd James Jacobsen Michael Jensen George Johnson Jennifer Jones John Jones Kimberly Kammerer Michael Katrein Lori Keller ' Shane Kimber Steven Klein Pauline Knott William Knox Michael Kummer Keith Lambert Bruce Lampson Kirsten Landis Nicole Lazar Charles Leason Rhonda LeBeau Kayla Leonard Lisa Levelle Tina Link Barbara Lockard Jamie Loughridge Richard Lucas James Lyle Junette Lyle Ann Lyons Kris Magana David Maier Lori Malik Jefferey Mann Dale Manning Lavonne Manning Jeff Marsh Annamaria Masinelli Mark Mason Terry Mason Diane Mattes Sherry Matthew Erik Mayhall Jeff McCague Brian McConnell Joanne McCormick Kenneth McDonald Melissa McGrath Jeannette McLaughlin Jayna Meglan sail -- ZQ' C C nw it , ,, ,,.

Model railroading is the process of recreating lifesize locomo- tives in a natural setting using small- er scale models. Eric started model railroading when his parents gave him his first train set the Christmas of 1977. Since then, he has expanded his lay- out to 56 square feet. Among 45 cars, Eric has 12 locomotives which have an average cost of S20 each, making his whole set worth approxi- mately 3800. Eric would like to remodel his lay- out after the Ottawa area because of the scenic interest and industry here, but he can't due to the lack of space. l hope that someday l will have a room to be able to expand my lay- out, remarked Eric. Model railroading is a hobby that's fun and passes the time when days are boring for me. lt's like mak- ing your own little empire that you can run all by yourself, Eric smiling- ly said. - Christopher Ferguson os l Theresa Melgoza Keith Mennie Timothy Mezel Cheryl Miller Melissa Miller Peggy Miller Ray Miller Scott Miller Tammy Miller Kurt Missel Tiffany Monn Belinda Morgan Susan Mori Darrell Morrill Eric Mumper Kelley Murphy Patrick Murphy Jimmy Myre Delbert Nelson Thomas Neurohr Robert Newman Marina Nicholson Steven Norsen Christine Novotney Edith O'Marrah Steven Olle Kristy Olson Lisa Ostrowski Brian Owens Michael Page Eve Parker Karen Partak David Partridge Robin Passwater Jana Pastorik Jason Pate Cindy Payne Juniorsfl57 l58fJuniors Lee Ann Penoyer Karla Petersen Kimberly Peterson Kathleen Phelan Cherilyn Pitstick Lisa Platt Ronald Pohar Daniel Pond Amy Poskin Richard Pumo Clark Purcell David Purcell Jason Quinn Linda Reed Russell Rexroat Mara Richardson Arthur Rideout Rhonda Rieuf Kelly Rinker Donna Ross James Roux Julie Rowe Thomas Rowe Kathy Russell Jennifer Ruth Keith Ryg Linda Ryg Kathy Saager Tina Sabia Teri Sagi Jill Saleda Jamie Santoy Shawn Sauvageau Kelly Schenk Bodo Schlademann Penny Schmitt Sue Schmoeger Dennis Senek Richard Shanley Jennifer Shelton Julie Sheridan Charles Shreve Melissa Siebert Rebecca Simmons Rhonda Simmons Anthony Sinning John Sipula Laura Sitek Paul Slack Renee Sliker Bradley Small Nancy Small John Smallbone Ronald Snyder Clinton Stanford Noella Stein Thomas Stevenson Kristine Stohl Donald Stohr Robert Stohr Aric, Stone Jay Stortz Gregory Streul Kelly Stross Mary Stroud Kathy Sutton Kelly Sutton Christopher Svihra Eric Swearingen Laura Taylor David Thao Cleve Threadgill '5 i Q 'Swift Vaughn Torres Karla Totel William Trumbo Glen Underwood Anthony Vaccaro James Vandervort Kurt Varland Angie Vavaroutsos Bradley Verona David Waits David Wallace David N.

Monica has been scuba diving for four years and finds it fun and exciting. She learned how to scuba dive through classes at the Ottawa YMCA. When asked about why she finds this water sport satisfying, Monica replied, I meet many new people from every state and from countries such as France and Mexico. Being under water so much, one is bound to run into some unusual things. Monica's most interesting encounter was seeing a barricuda while diving in the Flor- ida Keys. Monica hopes' to carry her water hobby further and develop it into a career as a scuba instructor. - Leslie Stohr Below.

However, after votes are tallied, those chosen do have responsiblities and commitments throughout the year to tend to, although they are few.

The varied uses of computers are being taught in school today, and Greg, a senior, started working with them his sophomore year. Geometry class helped me get started when l worked with them for two weeks. l also knew some people who worked with computers. Greg now owns his own Apple ll Plus com- puter much like the ones at Ottawa. He has taken computer classes at Ottawa High School and lllinois Valley Community College. Greg feels that the computer is helpful when doing homework. He likes to use it when writ- ing an English paper because it lets him edit his mistakes, and make changes with the touch of his fingers. The computer also helps store infor- mation and compute when doing long math problems. Greg finds it fun to play games on one and work out different strategies. l would like to learn how to master the Microprocessor of the Apple ll. lt would take a long time because one has to work with a com- puter for a length of time before one can use it to it's potential, commented Greg when asked what his goal with computers was.

When asked about her role as a cheerleader Amy explained, lt's a challenge to make the squad, and l receive satisfaction in knowing that l've helped the fans cheer the Pirates on. She has been a cheerleader for two years at Ottawa and also in grade school. Amy is captain of the 1983-84 girl's swim team. She has participated for four years, two of the years being spent in diving which is her favorite part of swimming. l enjoy diving because the competition is intense and individualized. I love the feeling l get after accomplishing a new dive, commented Amy. Sports and activities take up most of Amy's time. She has two and a half hours of practice every night and Saturdays for swimming, two nights a week for cheerleading plus games, and her dance lessons. ln her spare time, Amy enjoys sewing, ice skate ing, playing guitar, and her favorite love, dancing. She takes dance lessons in jazz, acrobats, ballet, and tap two times a week besides working at the local Burger King. Amy also participates in track and recently was awarded first runner-up in the Miss Marseilles Pag- eant. When asked of this accomplishment Amy added, Miss Marseilles 1982, Karen Kasey, told me about the pageant and said it would be a good chance to begin modeling. Amy plans to attend college after graduating to major in nursing, but is undecided as to where she will attend. Seniors! i 63 v-NI' My-V' l'- sas!

She is staying with Mr. and Mrs. .John Jones of Ottawa. l miss home very much, but l know l will make friendships I will never forget, was Mia's com- ment when asked of how much she misses her home country. Mia feels that there are good and bad points to a small town. She feels the people of Ottawa are extremely friendly, but sometimes there are few things to do.

I get to use my head and it has a future to it, she explains. During her sophomore year Jeanne volunteered to be a Television Assistant. Her job was to hook up the televisions for the teachers during her classes. Being the only girl hasn't bothered her much. At first Jeanne was teased about the situation, but now she's proud of what she's doing. Her plans after high school are to attend Illinois Valley Community College for two years to take electronics classes. Jeanne's other hobbies in- clude motorcycles and cars.

'K :P . .NIJ- Musical Family Leads Kim My family got me interested in music because they are all musically inclined. This was Kim Osmond's comment when asked how she began playing piano and flute. Kim has been interested in music since fourth grade. She plays first chair flute in the Ottawa High School band and also plays piano when she finds time. She took these instruments because they were available to her. Playing an instrument takes much dedication. Kim tries to practice the flute at least an hour each day, and the piano whenever she gets the chance. Playing an instrument is not all hard work though. Kim enjoys playing the piano for people at rest homes and for church groups. Kim has gone to solo and ensemble for the past four years, and has received two medals for solos and seven medals for group ensembles. She has also attend- ed NCIC and IMEA. Kim plans to continue playing her instruments through college. She hopes to be in the band wherever she attends, and would also like to par' ticipate in a musical church group.

Mike Rooks has been interested in art for many years. When he was younger he loved to read comic books and enjoyed trying to reproduce the illustrations. Mike's previous interest in art has been encour- aged by Mr. John Fisher, his freshman art teach- er, and Miss Becky Aten, his present art teacher and consultant. They have introduced Mike to new and fascinating ideas besides helping him improve his skills. Mike's favorite subjects to draw are portraits, figures Canatomyl, and still life. Although he has the talent to draw, no one else in his family draws. ln his free time, Mike enjoys spending time with his dog. His other interests include gardening fherbsl, carpentry, cooking, water skiing, fishing, and restoring rare or vintage automobiles. After graduating Mike plans to attend the school of the Art Institute of Chicago where he will eventually receive his bachelor's degree in Fine Arts and later his master's degree. Mike's plans after school are to get a studio in Chicago or on the east coast where he would like to start his own freelance business and perhaps make some films.

Brent is a member of the Grand Ridge Farmers Tug-of-War team. When asked how he got involved in this activ- ity, Brent commented, l got interested because of my older brother, Duane. They needed a lightweight guy so l got in. Brent said he likes the team because everyone gets along and learns to work as one. The Farmers team started four years ago, but it was not until two years later that they started going out of state. Since then they have received three state championships and one world cham- pionship. Like any other sport, in tug-of-war, rules must be followed. These include pinching the rope, pull- ing the rope while seated, or if someone falls, an attempt to get up must be made or it is illegal. After three warnings the judge may disqualify the team. During the summer the team travels every weekend to either lowa, Wisconsin, or farther for competitions. The only bad part of being a mem- ber of the team is traveling. We don't have a sponsor, so the costs really add up, explains Brent. Brent's other interests include cars, photogra- phy, hunting, and trapping. l73fSeniors Denise Skul William Sly Stanley Snell Caroline Snook Seniorsf I74 'A' f -45. -4-1 41 l 1 '-.-rr wi Il 41- 4 'e,- -V755 ,. il Joseph Soulsby Amy Spohr Richard Starkey Kurt Stevenson Shanda Stevenson Marty Stinekraus John Stockley Leslie Stohr Michael Stricklin Shelli Stricklin James Syverson Pam Syverson ,W-v W' .

Twins: A First Since 1950 What does it feel like to be the first twins ever to receive the title of Homecoming Queen and atten- dant? This was the question Toni and Traci Van- Laarhoven have been asked many times. Their reply to this question demonstrates how much it means to them. We were shocked to hear the news that we were elected, but.extremely happy for each other. We were really happy that we could share the honor, commented Toni and Traci. ln their spare time, Toni and Traci enjoy many of the same activities including sports, playing music, singing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, reading, and roughhousing with their dogs. The twins also share the same plans for their future which are to go to college majoring in spe' cial education and minoring in music. Toni and Traci are both members of the Nation- al Honor Society and participate in choir at Otta- wa High School. Toni plays basketball on the girls' team and Traci is a member of the volleyball team.

Panic! ln the cement floor, pipe filled ceiling of the Publications Office from the crack of dawn 'til dusk may be somewhat of an exaggeration but when deadlines were due - the pressure was on! At times it seemed hopeless - even impossible - but, we did put all that hard work and effort into it, you usually do one of three things - start over, forget about it, or in some way, cele- brate. We choose to celebrate since it's too late to start over and times like these are too good to forget. So as we celebrate the end of our job, we hope you like what we did well enough it. Naturally, after a job was done and you to celebrate, too. it I Top Right. Miss Marla Smith, yearbook advisor, searches for a catchy phrase to use for the headline on the choir page. Right.

I87 Celebrate Tradition Traditions. Things that are special and important during our year. Many old, some new. All are important, whether it's the tradition of the Homecoming festivi- ties that have been going on since 1949 or the recent tradition of the Red Rats. Sitting in the passageway, seldom braved by a sophomore and considered a life-risking folly for a freshman, has long been a custom for juniors and seniors. lt's a good place to get procrastinated homework done, an inconspicuous spot to eat lunch, and above all a place to get yourself updated on the latest who-did- what's and who's-going-out-with-who's in the mornings before school.

Where will we be? How can we celebrate something we don't even know about? Easy, we just look ahead and dream. Our tomorrow can be anything from the day after today, to the day after to- morrow, or the year after 1990. Making plans for college, as you sen- iors have discovered, puts pressure on you because the decisions you make will determine a large part of your future. Un- derclassmen find your tomorrows can of- fer more and more every year as you continue to rise to the ultimacy of being a senior. However, for tomorrow, the day after today, we have to think about what we're going to wear, what will be in the refrig- erator that we can grab for breakfast, what schedule we are on, what favorite Top.

We hope that we have captured every moment throughout the year that you have celebrated. We have tried to put together a book that will help you trea- sure those moments for the rest of your life. We would not have been able to orga- nize this celebration without the help of many very special people. First of all, we need to thank the staff for putting up with us all year. We would especially like to thank Erin and Tara for all the extra time they put in helping us with our work. We would like to thank Mr. Dennis Eder for driving us to Topeka and helping us throughout the year to complete our book. We would also like to express our grati- tude to Mr. Dean Barickman and Mr. Jer- ry Halterman for their photographs, and to the Journalism class for their help in writing feature stories. Last, but certainly not least, we thank our advisor, Miss Marla Smith. She kept us going through both major and minor crises, and without her we could never have done it. To next year's staff we wish the best of luck and many good times. Just remem- ber that Miss Smith may yell alot, but she still loves you. Yelling is just her way of getting you motivated.
