Brock Woods watches senior Craig Gibson's form as he dives from the starting blocks at Bradley University swimming pool The Grand Entrance of Queen Sara Thomas and King Dave Benassi at Homecoming dance Set to boogie down at the Back-to-Schod dance, students display ever-pop-ular jeans and clogs Working to stuff chicken wire with thousands of pomps are senior students Anytime of the day students work on those overhand, backhand, and over-the-net skills for tennis The Pekin Marching Band salutes parents of football players, managers, pom-pon girls and cheerleaders during Parents' Night halftime Roll with the changes might be a good description of the 1979-80 school role Throughout the year, the school board has made changes affecting every Pekin student. East Campus students now may be faced with in-school-suspensions as punishment for violating rules. Graduation procedures also changed for the class of 80 Besides separate baccalaureate services in the theater, students will receive only their diploma cover at graduation; diplomas will be distributed the following day with return of cap and gowns. Students are now required to take semester final exams. Pekin's new dragon, which was approved by the school board, has installed a new spirit and sense of pride in our school making East and West Campuses more of a single unit. Regardless of the changes made, life inside each side will go on relatively as it always has; freshmen will be the target for every imaginable practical joke, as will seniors, after 12 long years, feel they dominate and live it up in their last year required school. Regardless of grade level, many memories to forever cherish will be collected inside each side! Somewhere over the rainbow lies a special place. Enjoying a bike ride in the park, a game of tennis or a special walk around the lagoon are only a tew of the events that pass the time. Remember the fountain lights, Illinois River bridge raising as a barge passes by, the Dirksen Congressional Research Center for a cultural aspect, and all those familiar socializing sports at the Mall or MacDonalds? This town holds many memories for us of the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad times. Still, throughout the hardships and unforgettable experiences, friendships are abundant in this special place because . this is Pekin! Lots of good food was eaten at the Pekin Band fund raising Pancake and Sausage supper March 15 at First Methodist Church. Family Living students listen to clergy explain different marriage customs of Jewish, Catholic and Protestant faiths. Disco, a common weekend activity for seniors Sara Thomas and Steve Sullivan, provided this twosome with the Marigold Festival Dance crown and also numerous other awards at the Second Chance and Poison Apple teen nights. The U S. Air Force Band entertained Pekin music lovers at a West Campus concert sponsored by PCHS band on October 25. One of many barges breaking the ripples on a winter’s evening along the Pekin banks of the Illinois River Pekin High does not only depend on the student body tor support and encouragement in its activities, it depends greatly on help and cooperation ot the community With the new dragon mascot sponsored by Student Council, a special kind of enthusiasm has been aroused, making the community feel more a part of Pekin High Whether attending a sports activity or building a homecoming float, the school by itself cannot function. While the community supports and sponsors many aspects of high school, they count on students to utilize their goods and services contributions and to participate in the many functions available Be it a walk in the park, a game of tennis, or a bicycle ride, Pekin and the community cannot function alone — Pekin High and the community are brought TOGETHER!

Working strenuously, students got back into the ‘'routine” of studying, taking tests, grades, sports, and club activities. However, students were greeted with changes in school policies. Athletes have a new sports code to follow. The code is basically the same as in the previous years, except these rules are now printed. Therefore, all athletes and their parents know the possible penalties for any violations. Since finals are now required, many students feel that attendance may drop. If this happens, the school could lose money with lower attendance. Back-to-school dance, sponsored by Student Council, was successful. The student-faculty picnic was held, followed by the student-faculty baseball game in the park, ending with a score of 6-4, in favor of the faculty. Maybe new changes and challenges that greeted students as they returned to school were not so routine after all! Registration is only the beginning of a new school year for these freshmen and sophomores PCHS students enjoy the rhythm of the DeCounter Brothers at this year's Homecoming dance “Say Cheese' Dan Tosi and his date pose for their Homecoming dance picture taken by a Rembrandt studio photographer Back-to-School 11 ‘Gimme a Pekin varsity cheerleaders are (front row) Margaret Udry.

Sandy Strode, and Jill Dourneen Through thick and thin, the fans have been there to support the teams,” commented Varsity cheerleader Dalona Pauley The spirited group of girls explained that their main goal this year was to get crowd involvement, and to do less performance-oriented cheers. Through the use of the simple cheers, the cheerleaders hoped to get fans super rowdy.” With the varsity and junior varsity squads combined as one, the 14 girls attended a 3-day summer camp at Western Illinois University, where we learn most of our cheers, exchange spirit ideas with other cheerleaders, says Nancy Rademaker, JV cheerleader. The squad earned a 4th place trophy in competition with 30 other inter-state squads. The two squads received 4th place rating at Mid-State 10 clinic. Mrs Alice Coon is squad sponsor.

Some were inclined to think Marne introduced Patrick to the raw facts of life a little too soon! Lead role, Marne Dennis, was played by Sara Thomas. Jeff Trimble played the part of Marne's nephew, young Patrick Dennis. As Patrick grew older, the part was assumed by Mike Coers. Pat Petrow added a light and comical touch as Agnes Gooch, young Patrick's nurse and Marne's secretary. The brash sophistication of Vera Charles, Marne's best friend, was portrayed by Teri Bianchi, Eric Hansen brought a touch of the South to the East Campus in the role of Georgian Beauregard Burnside, who eventually married Marne. Agnes Gooch (Pat Petrow) and Patrick Dennis (Jett Trimble) console Mame (Sara Thomas) in the tall play Little Patrick (Jett Trimble) listens intently as Mame (Sara Thomas) sings to him about My Best Beau Little Patrick (Jett Trimble) types a letter to his Auntie Mame A crowd gathers at Peckerwood to meet the Yankee, Mame 14 Mame' Parrish Worsfold was Dwight Babcock, a banker, who was in charge of Patrick’s education. Babcock's son, Jr. Babcock, was played by Chris Hawkens. Laurie Brown portrayed Regeen Ryan, an interior decorator who married Patrick. Their son, Peter Dennis, was represented by Eric Winters. Role of M. Lindsey Woolsey was performed by Bob Heppner, Jeff Ales was Ito, Marne’s house servant. Many talented PCHS actors, singers, dancers, orchestra members, and stage crew worked together to produce a most enjoyable show drawing a full house at every performance.

Small World Melting pot of the world is a reference common to the United States since people from many lands have come to make their homes in this country. Pekin High School parallels America this year with students from several different lands living in the community and contributing their uniqueness'' to Pekin. From Germany comes Betty Schnare; Johan Ahlquist and Soren Skog hail from Sweden; Marius Voigt calls Norway home; Switzerland is where Manola Valeschini resides; and Huy Bui, Thuong Ngyun and Thanh Cao are from Vietnam Eleven foreign students have contributed to our culture in many ways. Soren Skog jumped right in and added a kick to the swim team victories. Betty Schnare donned grease paint for spring and fall plays, Marius Voight helped keep goals coming for the hockey team. Manola Valeschini served a semester on Student Council and participated in dance. Thanh Cao helps in tutoring Huy Bui, Thuong Ngyun and other Vietnamese students in the English language Johan Alquist served his share of victories on the tennis team Thuong Ngyun distinguished himself in the art field, winning a certificate of merit in the Central Illinois Scholastic Art awards contest. Tracy Nlmmo and foreign exchange student Betty Schnare, practice their lines tor drama class Marius Voigt, Johan Alquist. and Soren Skog, three foreign exchange students at an American Association ot University Women banquet to call attention about foreign countries, enjoy foreign foods 16 Foreign Exchange Students Participation in extracurricular activities, however, is just a part of these students’ contributions to PCHS. They also bring international customs and personal relationships closer to individual students at PCHS. One can talk with Betty Schnare about the differences between the schools in Germany and Pekin. One learns what teenagers do on weekends in Norway by asking Marius Voight. These students from another land share their uniqueness with others as they speak and mingle. When these students leave, they will take a part of us with them to share with the people in their home countries. Although they will leave Pekin, memories will linger on. Counselors assist Viet students Huy Bui and Thuong Nguyen Betty Schnare checks moves for a dance class assignment Johan Alquist, a foreign exchange student from Sweden, enjoys the American tradition of eating hot dogs Foreign Students 17 Homecoming '79 PCHS Finds Its Jungle Paradise r Silhouetted by the blazing flame are several PCHS students at the annual bonfire Attempting to block a pass is quarterback Cheney Hunt.

Spirit? Spirit? Who's got the spirit? This year's mysteriously hidden Spirit Footballs were uncovered by Barry Grimes of East and Jeff Schurman of West. Barry retrieved the Spirit Football in the counselors' offices while on West Jeff discovered the football behind a Student Council sign. Homecoming 79 was the year for firsts. Petitions were used to nominate candidates for the court, along with the new first hour voting procedure One of the most important firsts was the crowning of the Homecoming King and Queen Thursday night. This allowed them to reign over the game and dance. Dave Benassi and Sara Thomas were announced the new reigning royalty with their court including Keli Bouris, Cindy Grapperhaus, Lisa Hasler, Debbie Reynolds, Brad Barnard, Stan Hudson, Steve Sullivan, and Terry Watson Both the sophomore and senior skit followed the Tarzan and Jane theme The juniors' skit was a take-off of Fantasy Island.

Jim Steele and Teresa Taylor, enter the Jungle Paradise . audience. However, the junior skit won after a tie was broken by a panel ot three judges. Smoke, heat, and ashes. Your idea of a fun night? If so, the bonfire was the place for you. A near record crowd of 400, including a conservative estimate of 40 undercover policemen, were at the scene. The Jungle Paradise theme triggered a mass of palm trees and apes in the parade. Large gusts ot wind ripped flags and sent pomps flying from floats. Jungle fever was best exhibited by the junior float which won first place. Fencing Club placed second, and the seniors established third place. When East Peoria scored on the third play of the game on a 59-yard touchdown pass, most in the stands thought it was going to be another long night for the Chinks. The rest of the game was nip-n-tuck with both squads delivering long scoring drives only to be shut-down by the opposing defense. Pekin’s Homecoming game ended in overtime, 6-0, and became the MS-10's first and only overtime game of the season. Though the air held a windy chill Saturday night, East Campus cafeteria was warm with the feeling of a Jungle Paradise . The climax of the 79 homecoming week came Oct. 13, when students and alumni danced from 8 to 11 pm. The sounds lurking from PCHS's jungle were that of the DeCounter Brothers. The band's song in honor of the homecoming royalty highlighted the dance. Approximately 50 students worked for eight hours to transform the cafeteria into the jungle theme. The Homecoming dance provided a romantic atmosphere lor one couple, Diane Tolbert and Mark Trumpy Many couples enjoyed an enchanted evening at the Jungle Paradise during the Homecoming dance Homecoming 23 A System for Everyday Living by Gilbreths “A kid brother on every date, come when you hear the whistle, and no dates on school nights, were just a few of the rules the Gilbreth children had to put up with in this year's spring play. Cheaper by the Dozen. The father, played by Parrish Worsfold, seemed to have a system for everything; how to do dishes, take a bath, etc The Gilbreth family came alive on April 24-26 in the F M Peterson Theatre where the stage resembled the living room of the Gilbreth home. Clothes of the 1920's were used to enhance the performance. The boys wore knicker pants and the girls wore sailor tops along with the rest of the children. The play was directed by Mr Glenn E. Smith and assistant directors Joe Ales-andrini and Lisa Heussner Stage construction was by Mr Larry Truckenmil-ler Mr. Ralph Heston did the stage artwork. Dad did everything, just like a factory, so the idea of a family council in which every member of the family would vote, seemed to be a good idea for all concerns. When dad tries to apportion necessary work around the house, the voting idea turns into a forced vote Anne, portrayed by Julie Wolfe, having an eye for the boys finally gets asked out by a cheerleader, Jeff Trimble, but after the young man turns down the idea of having Mr. Gilbreth come along as a chaperone, all seems lost for Anne Anne works around her schedule so she may date this other young man. Larry, portrayed by Greg Lhamon When Larry asked Anne to the prom, she hesitates and thinks she cannot possibly make it because her father is leaving for the world management conference and is slowly dying of heart trouble Dad calls the children together one last time before he leaves Jackie. Joe Alesandrini, not understanding the leaving of his father, runs to him for that last hug of love. Cheaper by the Dozen, was viewed by approximately 900 persons who laughed, and even cried. From time to time people forget the excellence that high school students can produce Cheaper by the Dozen reminded them of this! Mr. Gilbreth (Parrish Worsfold) explains his reasoning of strict guidelines At the sound of the whistle, the Gilbreth children come running to their own special place in line The Gilbreth children watch in amazement at Father s bath taking technique 24 Spring Play The Rules for Cheaper by the Dozen Play Members of Cheaper by the Dozen cast in one of their last rehearsals Julie Wolfe, (eldest Gilbreth), expresses her desire to date Larry (Greg Lhamon) Ryan Gerkm and Joe Alesandrmi. two of the Gil-breth children, try their hardest to get the family dog out of the house before Father sees him Spring Play 25 Dragon mascots this year were Chris Bell and Mike Donahue.

Area news media covered the premiere event Council members had approached the school board this fall for aid in funding the project designed to develop enthusiasm and school spirit among students and community. Board approval gave the Paul Osborne Co. $2,225 to design and create a dragon mascot specifically for Pekin High School. Students applied to be dragon mascot. Final judging was based on creativity, spirit, and self expression Identity of the dragon remained a secret during the season Watching for Pekin's mascot could become a new school tradition! 26 Student Council Leadership, Student Life — Council Touches All Representing the student tody will be one responsibility of Julie Wolfe.

From the Journal-Star $8,000 scholarship to the Outstanding Achievement certificates, these honors denote those students who have worked diligently and endured long hours for special activities In the end. it is all worth that time and energy. Recognition, a genuine need for all, exacts a price — but does pay a reward! Some awards may not be listed here since there are announcements made following close of school, and during the summer Seniors Jane Leonardson and Mark Ennis are presented with the National Merit Semi-finalists awards by their counselors. Mrs Norma Yock and Mr John Emery Paul Valde and Keith Anderson display their Kodak Medallions of Excellence for Photography Mr. John Emery presents Senior Kathy Frazier with the Elks Most Valuable Student Scholarship The letter reads. Congratulations The student may burst into ecstatic screams and a parent may mumble that the mortgage on the family home won’t be necessary now That may be just one effect of a scholarship awards which annually go to honor outstanding and deserving students Many awards are not of great financial significance, but perhaps just that bit of extra money will mean college is possible for one more student Holly Juchems John Philip Sousa Award Julio Harms N III Academic Finalist Scholarship Linda Wood Nat I Secretaries Association Lisa Hasier Taz Co Legal Sec Scholarship Kan Emerson John Philip Sousa Award 32 Senior Awards Lori Broadbent American Veterans Kellie Elkins iuikJing Trades Scholarship azeweii County Karen Kesselmayer Haussler Ted HaNberg National Orchestra Karen Friedrich Monmouth College Academic Scholarship Tim Boehm John T McNaughton Scholarship Jane Leonardson J.

Dalona received a bouquet of roses along with the crown. Chris received the traditional gold-colored scepter. Each girl in the court received a single rose. Setting for the coronation was a starlit sky. Red carpeting led to the platform. Gold stars descended from the ceiling with blue and gold streamers.

Gary Grogan, youth and education pastor of First Assembly of God Church, told members of the 1980 graduating class during his Baccalaureate address on Sunday, May 25. In his address, Grogan offered students four principles to live by. As a conclusion, Grogan quoted Horace Mann, Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.” This year, both afternoon and evening Baccalaureate services were held in the F. M. Peterson Theatre. Scriptures in both services were read by students John McKenzie and Mike McCabe Invocation was read by Rev. David Phillips in the afternoon service and Rev. Don Ridgeway in the evening Benediction was pronounced by Rev. Douglas Vogt. Not the fireworks of 1979 but the decks of cards of 1980 flew to acknowledge the end of twelve years of anxiety for the class of 1980. This year three stusdent speakers were selected to address the class at commencement ceremonies. Foreign exchange student Betty Schnare spoke of her preconceptions of the United States and of how totally different and unique a culture we have. She stated that we should realize and take advantage of what we have. Next, Senior Class President Steve Kluever stated that we should meet our responsibilities so that we can continue to be a model country for the rest of the world. Finally, Steve Sudhoff told students to see themselves as they really are and fulfill their obligations. Following the speeches, the Board of Education presented the 675 graduates with their diploma covers. When the end had actually arrived, graduates sent thousands of cards sailing into the sky Though the end has come, students have the opportunity to accept Sudhoff's challenge to continue to grow After all there is life after high school! 38 Graduation Reverend Gary Grogan, who gave the Baccalaureate address, tells PCHS seniors never give up'' Foreign exchange student Betty Schnare addresses classmates on her preconceptions o! the United States.

The rifle corps at practice Band practice begins at 8 a m. during marching formation drill Band's special program is at Homecoming game In what class at PCHS can you play forte, retard, and then decrescendo7 If you said band, you’re right. Band includes 110 members, 23 of whom are graduating seniors. This year there are four types of band; wind ensemble, concert, marching, and jazz. Marching Band, along with flag and rifle corps, is under the direction of Drum majors Kari Emerson and Keith Anderson. After the football season ends, this band separates to become a pep band for basketball season and Concert Band for concerts. For those interested in a lighter type of music there is Jazz Band which consists of talented musicians. For concerts the band splits to the Wind Ensembles, which has 33 members and plays college level music, and a smaller Concert Band, which has 72 members. Some obligations of the band members are Mid-State 10 concerts. Illinois High School Association contest held at Galesburg, holiday tournament basketball games, and graduation ceremony music. Some of the more select players were chosen to attend an All Star band held at Western III. Univ. and the even more elite was 'All State.’ Members chosen were Kari Emerson, Holly Juchems. John Hanerhoff. Bruce Pape, Jeremy Heiple, Ray Gene Lenaway. Ann Perrin, and Kurt Vanderleest. Band meets every morning from 8.00 to 9:30. but towards the end of the year for the spring concert the wind ensemble opens at 7:30 a m. and goes to 8:30, then they combine with the concert band until 9:30. Solos and ensemble contest was held at ICC March 1 st. Out of 16 soloists in the contest, 11 received first ratings and 5 received seconds. There were 18 Ensembles with 13 first awards and 5 seconds. Combined concert band attended the ISHA contest held in Galesburg and received an over-all First This was the first year for the Band Booster Club, a group of concerned parents who help organize activities to raise money for different projects. The project this year was to send students to marching band camp at Western University next year. To raise funds for the project, the band sold flowers, popcorn, and calendars, and held a pancake and sausage supper The camp will last a week Students will practice marching and rehearse the music and routines for a competition show. People may say band is easy until they go through the forte of getting up early and putting forth the discipline and extra time 46 Band LARGE CONCERT BAND First row, left to right: H Juchems.

Miss Crawford scheduled evening practices and competed in the state music contest with a complete roster of musicians Most members felt the year strengthened their individual playing abilities Ensemble groups had a chance to shine and 17 stringers competed in state contests. Five firsts, two seconds and one third were awards earned. Evening of Music in November. Winter concert on West and the Spring Showcase were highlights of the performing year For fun there were those all day bus trips to contest and back, those blue 'Stringer” T-shirts that identified the orchestra, and those night marathons of practice When it's time to solo in sight-reading or chromatic scales, suddenly the room becomes silent, the singers shrink into their seats, and bury themselves in the music folders. One can hear the prayers, “Please don’t pick me today!” Solo tryouts are easy to remember: the singer wants to try out but he thinks. “I know I'm not that good. I’m sure he she will get it. As everyone is getting into the music, a lone voice comes in on the rest. EMBARRASSING!!! The room fills with laughter, the director uses double-forte in his voice, and they start over. Solos, Sight Reading, Chromatic Scales, Songs; There is More to Choir Than Concerts! The 1979-80 Sophomore and Concert choirs at PCHS actually began last year with auditions, accompanied by nervous stomachs and shakey voices; all of which calmed with time After months of hard work and self-determination, those voices became mellow, the tones became golden. Besides the hour-long rehearsal every day of the week, the choirs also have certain performance obligations during the year such as Evening of Music, West Campus Concert, two performances of the Christmas Vespers, and the Spring Music Showcase. Besides these performances, the Concert Choir also goes to IHSA contest held every year. Music this past year for the choirs ranged from the “Ave Maria'' sung in Latin to a Barry Manilow medley, arranged by the Concert Choir director Donald Valente. Concert Choir’s pianists, selected by auditions. Cheryl Newton and Gayle Gebhardt, accompany 105 singers. Sophomore Choir and Freshman Chorus are initiated on West Campus. Approximately 75 in Sophomore Choir were selected by auditions from the Freshman chorus Freshmen signed up for chorus when they were in junior high. Choir does meet during the school day, but often other rehearsals must come from out-of-school hours. Music needs to be memorized on one’s own time, and before school at 8:00 a m come sectionals Teachers often are aware of the presence of choir members in class When singers get out for the day for practice or performance, the class attendance number drops. Classrooms feel the excitement when the musicians are ready to perform a concert. On days when the members wear their T-shirts, the halls are filled with look-a-likes.

The group formed two years ago by its director, Marilyn Nicholson, is designed for students with above average musical talent and a strong interest in singing music of all styles. In addition to its three annual school concerts, Evening of Music. Christmas Vespers. and the Chamber Singers and Noteables Concert, the group performed for several other social and civic functions throughout the community including Ambucs, churches, the UAW Senior Citizens Center, and Northwoods Mall This year, the Chamber Singers auditioned and were honored to attend the ninth invitational Chamber Music Symposium of Vocal Ensembles in late March. The event was sponsored by the School of Music and Continuing Education at the University of Illinois Students spent one weekend at the Allerton Park in Monti-cello, Illinois, working under the guidance of Illinois School of Music choral faculty. The Pekin group was entertained by the U of I Madrigal Singers and also performed for the other groups from Danville, Princeton, Addison Trail, and Thorn-ridge High Schools. In order to receive honors such as Allerton, the group spent up to five hours a week rehearsing after school, and sometimes before school. During the busiest times of the year — Christmas and Easter — even more rehearsals became necessary “But,” says one Chamber Singer, “it’s all worth it!” Third Year Brings Rewards for Pekin Chamber Singers With the angels above them and seasonal decorations shining, singers relax as they prepare tor Christmas Vespers Chamber singers bring in the Christmas spirit at the 1979 Christmas Vespers Chamber Singers left to right K Winters.

Miss Heart of Illinois Pageant in Peoria. Miss Illinois Pageant in Aurora and the highlight of the year was their concert tour to Florida where they performed at Disney World. Sea World and Silver Springs A Benefit Concert. A Disney Preview,” and a Noteable Christmas Dinner” with food and entertainment were a couple performances that helped a great deal in raising money for the expenses of the Florida trip The Noteables also participated in the Watseka Invitational Swing Choir Competition in Watskea. Illinois, where they competed against 12 other schools Aside from the above-mentioned performance the group has performed for many civic organizations throughout the year Their schedule is almost always full. Many weeks during the Christmas season. the Noteables had performances every night of the week There were even a few nights in which they had more than one performance Try-outs are held at the end of the year and members are chosen on their ability to sing, read music, and dance The Noteables programs are made up of all types of music, love ballads, nostalgic medleys, and pop rock tunes.

The reason? According to Douglas Springer, director of forensics, the exceptional year can be attributed to two factors: the depth of talent, along with experience. “We have had good individual events’ years and good debate years, but never this good in either, and never when good in either was it both in the same year.” commented Springer And what a year it was! In debate, Pekin had four debaters competing for their fourth year; Tim Boehm, Troy Copelen, Grant Muller, and Steve Sudhoff. This past year they won championships at Granite City South Invitational and the Illinois High School Association Sectional Debate Tournament, as well as finishing first AND second at the ISU tournament. Boehm and Copelen finished 9th at the IHSA State tournament; Muller and Sudhoff placed fifth at IHSA, third at Illinois Speech and Theater Association State Tournament, and second at the National Forensic League District Tournament Both were named to the All-State Debate Team. The novice debate team, coached by Mrs. Jane Paullin, also had an exceptional year, finishing first at Granite City South, and Manual High tournaments, and the twosome of Joe Wood and Gordon Herron finished third at the ISTA state tournament. Tim Boehm, senior, also did well in legislative debate, being named Superior Representative at the National Forensic League District Student Congress 1979-80 Speech Debate Student Congress First row: Lisa Vermillion, P Petrow.

The individual events squad, coached by Springer and Mr. Fred Vogt, won sweepstakes championships twice (at Greater Belleville and National Forensic League District) and won a second place overall finish in the Mid-State 10. These championships could not have happened but for fine individual performances throughout the year First place finishers at various tournaments included Lisa Heussner in oratorical declamation; Jeremy Heiple, two championships in radio, including the conference championship; Lisa Heussner and Parrish Worsfold in dramatic duet acting as IHSA Sectional; Worsfold and Jeff Greener in humorous duet acting; Tim Marquardt, with three first place finishes in original comedy; and Sarah Altman, with a championship in radio speaking and two in oratory, one at IHSA District and one at National Forensic League District. Finalists at the National Forensic League District Tournament were Steve Sudhoff and Grant Muller in debate; Muller and Tim Boehm in boys extemp ; Lisa Heussner and Greg Lha-mon in dramatic interpretation; Peggy Petrow and Ti Marquardt in humorous interpretation; and Sarah Altman, Jenny Brajkovich, and Sara Thomas winning the top three places in oratory. In addition, Steve Sudhoff, Jeremy Heiple, and Lisa Heussner and Parrish Worsfold were state finalists, with Sudhoff winning the state championship, along with Sarah Altman’s NFL District championship in oratory, qualified them to the National Speech Tournament in Huntsville, Ala. during June What will next year hold?

Deadline pressures like these become routine for the staff of the Pekinois. After countless hours of setting type at the Pekin Times and laying out pages in Cl03, they managed to put out 12 issues of the school paper Topics in the Pekinois ranged from features on the draft and candidates in the area to the Lone Ranger and a PCHS in Pekin, Iowa. Sharing the same room with the newspaper is the staff of the Pekmian, Pekin High’s yearbook. Like the newspaper, the yearbook staff met the deadline rush every month. Making sure they didn’t leave out any clubs or school organizations is harder work than it sounds. Then the staff had to choose photos, write copy, and finish layouts. It took a lot of overtime, but if you’re reading these words, they got the job done! Features were a special responsibility of Julie Clayberg Daniel Parrish and Karen Negley provided a reporting team to cover in-depth stories on suicide, peer pressures, shop lifting, to name a few of the varied topics they probed for stories.

The Chinks were picked as low as seventh and eighth in pre-season polls, but behind the efforts of Marshall Stoner were able to finish tied for third in the Mid-State 10. The team started cold after losing their opening game to state rated Providence St. Mel and went on to lose the next three contests to Limestone, Rich South, and Peoria Centra. People began thinking about next season, but some minor changes in the line up turned things around as the Chinks took victories over East Peoria, Spalding, and Limestone to enter Holiday Tourney play with a 3-4 record. The Chinks were considered a long shot at best in the tourney and most would have been pleased just to see the Red and White make it to the semi finals. Pekin took an opening round victory over Chillicothe I.V.C. to reach the semi's and a match against Cahokia. The visiting Commanches were much bigger than the Chinks, but the Cinderella story continued as Pekin took a 62-54 victory to set up an all Tazewell County final against rival Washington. Neither team was really given a prayer of reaching the championship game, but both played like champs as the visiting Panthers took a 38-36 victory when Randy Bushman’s tip-in at the buzzer was discounted. Many feared that after the heart-breaking loss in the championship, the Chinks might not play up to potential, but the skeptics were again proven wrong as Pekin went on with their winning ways and took decisions over Peoria Woodruff. Peoria Manual, Bergan, and the sweetest one of all, a 51 -48 victory over Washington on their home court. The victory over Washington set up a classic match-up between the Chinks and Richwoods The Knights were unbeaten in conference play and ranked 12th state-wide, while Pekin was 7-5 overall and had only one loss in the conference.

After the heart-breaking loss, Stoner’s charges began to take a turn for the worse as they dropped games to Peoria Central and East Peoria, both on Pekin’s home court. Victories over Spalding, Limestone, Manual, and Bergan sandwiched a loss to Woodruff and left only two games remaining in the regular season. The Chinks again fell to the Washington Panthers on their home court in the first of these games and things weren’t looking good as Pekin travelled to Richwoods for their final game. The Knights hadn’t lost since their first game with Pekin and were now rated fifth in the state. The Red and White played well, but fell short in their upset bit by a score of 62-60. With the regular season over, the Chinks entered state competition with an 14-11 record. Their first game was against Olympia whom they beat. This set the classic confrontation between the Chinks and the arch-rival, Morton Potters. Pekin was victorious in a 66-40 rout. The win gave them the right to play at Robertson Memorial Field House in sectional competition against first round opponent, .. . you guessed it, ... Richwoods. The Knights played brilliantly and walloped Pekin 72-42. It was the bitter end of the season which one dreamed would be so successful. At the banquet at the end of the season Coach Stoner gave the following awards: Most Valuable Player, Randy Bushman; Most Rebounds, Dave Benassi; Best Defense, Bob Barker; Mr. Spirit, Dave Waibel; Best Free-throw Percentage, Rob Rademaker; Most Improved, Tim Martin; and Captain-elect, Randy Bushman. Varsity letters were awarded to seniors Dave Benassi, Tim Houli” Martin, and Rob Rademaker, and juniors Bob Barker, Greg DePeugh, Dave Waibel, and Randy Bushman.

The squad, led by seniors Brian Sluga and Dave Warner, finished 5-4 in the conference and 8th in the Mid-State 10 Tourney for a dismal sixth place finish. Neck and neck throughout the season, Sluga defeated Warner in every meet except against Richwoods when Dave won by one second. The Pekin Harriers had their problems in the Invitationals. In five meets, the Pekin Varsity placed 1st, 4th, 27th, 8th and 13th respectively. Despite Dave's (Warner) illness and my cold, the season wasn't all that bad, said Brian Sluga, adding, I went out for cross country to get in shape, and help me in the half mile in track,” Sluga was team captain. This season we did not do all that bad considering the illness,” commented coach Don Merrick Last year's team wasn't used to a college coach, but this year they were more accustomed to it. Next year the Chinks are hoping for a bigger and better season The Frosh-Soph, who were 0-5 on the season, lack experience and are hoping for a better showing next year. 88 Cross Country Snow doesn't deter cross country runners Brian Sluga and Paul Myatt who are hoping to stay in shape and have tun during a February workout Paul Myatt receives his award at the Cross Country fall banquet from head coach Don Merrick Leading the pack at the Pekin Frosh-Soph Invitational is Kent Baker Mark Richardson struggles past a Delevan runner at the Frosh-Soph Invitational Cross Country 89 Varsity Defeats Washington For 1-8 Finish The varsity football squad had its problems during the course of the season. They lost the first eight games despite the closely played matches with Manual, Woodruff, and East Peoria, before they won their last game with Washington to finish 1-8 for the cellar spot in the Mid State-10 conference. The Chinks opened their season in Peoria Stadium against arch rival, Manual. The pre-season coaches poll placed the Rams in the number two slot In last year's game opener, the Chinks were blown out 62-14 “We assumed since they were the champ the last four years, they'd be tough again this season,” said Coach Tom Innis on the eve of the Manual game. So, the Pekin team had its work cut out. The rest is history Pekin's lone score came on a Brian Spiller sack in the end zone for a safety, good enough for two points. The Rams scored in the first and fourth to win 14-2. We did a heck of a job defensively,” said Innis, They kept us in the game The Chinks then had a string of three games in which they were beaten by fairly large margins. It wasn't until a return trip to Peoria Stadium against Woodruff did they show their worth. The Warriors were placed third in the coaches poll. Last year Woodruff finished 8-1, and they once again had a tough game to play, and once again they were tough VARSITY FOOTBALL Manual 14 - 9 Loss Spalding 19 - 6 Loss Bergan 28 - 6 Loss Limestone 26 - 8 Loss Woodruff 97 - 0 Loss East Peoria 6 - 0 Loss OT.

Pekin was on the losing end, 9-7. The following week was Homecoming. Pekin, for a change, would not play Central. This year it would be East Peoria. But East Peoria wasn’t going to be a pushover. They had already upset Manual, and later would smash Bergan. They were one of those teams which had the potential to be a championship team, but lacked consistency.

The squad’s five returning letter winners included: Gaye Dalton, Jody Patterson and Karen Wyss with one year previous varsity experience, while Karen Friedrich and Karyn Kesselmayer each added two.

Drivers Education 101 The 1979-80 version of Pekin wrestling team featured a state champion, conference championship, district championship and a third place finish in the Moline District. Randy Taylor followed his brother Bob's footsteps in winning the state championship in the heavyweight division. Taylor rolled up a 43-1 record, while Pekin sent two other wrestlers, Doug McClister and Randy Roots, to the state tournaments. With only three returning seniors, Pekin was not expected to dominate as they had in recent years. However, given the ingredients of Coach Stoudt's expert coaching and players that were willing to pay the price, Pekin upheld its winning tradition. Pekin started the season with a tie to tough Sterling. Pekin then rolled over conference opponents Bergen and Manual while having impressive showings with northern schools Then came the heartbreaking loss to East Peoria. The wrestlers, however, showed their abilities as well as their fighting spirit as they rolled over the rest of the conference foes as well as having good showings in the tough tournaments at Dixon and Granite South. Pekin closed its regular season with a 14-5-3 record Pekin continued to improve as they got revenge on East Peoria as Pekin breezed through the conference tournament with a first place finish. The district was next as Pekin swept through that field easily with 167’ 2 points, while Chillicothe finished a distant second with 112’ 2 points. East Moline was the place to be for the sectionals, as Pekin finished third place among the powerful field Pekin advanced three wrestlers to state. Several awards were handed out at the wrestling banquet. Randy Taylor came away with seven. Among these awards were quickest fall, most falls, most takedowns, Jim Custer Award, Duane Antrim Award, Dale Sandrock Award, and wrestling award Doug McClister and Taylor shared the quickest fall award, and Matt Lutz shared the Rich McLeod Award with Tom McCloud.

And was he ever right! The tankers finsihed 1-5 in non-conference matches. Their lone win was over Normal Community.

The regional game was a see-saw battle in which both teams had a chance to win. Pekin rallied from a 6-3 deficit to score four runs in the top of the seventh. The game was far from over, however, as the Spartans tied the score in the bottom half of the inning. Pekin went up by two in the top of the ninth but Olympia came back and scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth to defeat Pekin. Pekin finished the season at 8-17. However six of those losses were by one run. Pekin started the season on a high note after winning the first four games. However hopes soured after Pekin lost a string of close decisions. The diamondmen had many bright spots on the team. Stan Hudson hit .361 with two homers, and 13 runs batted in. Bren-nen Lee clubbed a .328 average with one homer and 20 RBI's.

Pekin’s baseball fortunes were dampened early as senior pitcher Dan Clayton suffered arm trouble in the first game of the season.

The team, sparked by Caryl Moehring's outstanding hitting and 12-3 pitching mark, had a string of twelve wins from April 24's game with Central, in which Caryl pitched a no-hitter (only two walks away from a perfect game) to May 9th's 11-1 romp over Morton. The chain of wins turned what seemed to be just a mediocre season (the girls were 3-2 before that) into something to cheer about. The string was broken when Quincy-Notre Dame beat the girls 4-3 in the second to last regular season game of the season. Canton won the final match 11-1. In the conference the girls went 7-2, being defeated in the early going of the season by Washington and Limestone, both of which incidentally, made it to the state finals held here in Pekin, and Limestone made it to the final four but was defeated by the would-be champion, Harlem, 1-0. In post season the girls defeated Dunlap 14-0 and Farmington 4-2, but lost to Canton for the second time of the year to knock them out of the running 7-2. The squad will return only half of the 1980 squad nexl season, losing the likes of Karen Wyss, Karen Friedrich, Diane Cleer, Gaye Dalton, Barb Calhoun and Caryl Moehring, all of whom made unsa-crificial efforts toward the winning cause The Pekin girls' JV squad didn't do quite as well as their varsity counterparts They went 2-7 on the season and 0-3 versus M-S 10 members.

It seemed for the young varsity squad, which only contained one senior — Jane Leonardson, that either they won big or lost big. Three of their four victories were 9-0, 8-1, 7-1 and seven of their eight losses were a pair of 9-0's, two 8-1’s, a couple 7-1 's, and a 7-2. The four teams Pekin defeated were Woodruff, East Peoria, Manual, and Spalding. While their losses were to Richwoods, Central, Ber-gan, Washington, and non-conference foes Canton, Bloomington Central Catholic, Normal Community and the Potters of Morton. Julie Brees turned out the best individual record for the season; she finished 7-3. Jodi Halsted was second at 3-2, while Betsy Faux, the teams 1 singles player who had been ineligibie in the early going due to her presence at a tennis camp in August, salvaged a 3-3 record.

The young team, who at the start ot the 1980 campaign had only one team member (senior team captain Paul Smith) who had seen previous varsity action, had their problems. But many of their 17 losses came down to the decision of one set in one match before a victor could be determined. That was so true in the last match of the season against Morton. In the 3 doubles, the match which would decide the team victor, Pekin's foreign exchange student — Marius Voigt and Brad Barnard narrowly defeated their opponents 7-5, 7-5. We had a rough season,” commented senior Paul Smith, who plans on playing for Illinois Central College next season. All too many times it came down to one volley in one set, but it was very close most of the time I look for a very tough team for next year And if experience breeds victories, next year's team should hold their own. Except for Smith and Brad Barnard, who played in the 1 and 6 singles slots throughout the season, the squad returns a seasoned group. Pekin's Frosh-Soph. squad completed a successful season in ’80 with an ending mark of 7-3 in the Mid State 10, and 9-5 overall.

Sophomore Roxy Woods, a transfer from Washington, won most of his duals during the year, made the Journal Star Honor roll team, and to cap it all off. won the Mid State 10 meet with a vault of 13' 6 . Todd DeGroot, one of the few veterans of the squad, consistently did well in the weights.

And to compound the problem, they had just gotten a new coach with new ideals But just like the boys' team, the girls too had their stars. Gena Tucker consistently placed well in the weights, giving the young squad some almost sure points. Chris Uphoff, who was hampered by a nagging injury all last season, came very near to beating her own personal mark in the 2-mile run this year. But she lost in the preliminaries of the state competition, where two years ago as a sophomore, she made it to the finals. Kelly Taphorn, the dark horse of the season, also made to state, but was downed in the prelims. With two years left, she is sure to be a strong force for future PCHS squads As a whole, the team went 3-8 on the year with non conference wins over IVC and Delavan, and 1-8 in the conference with a 74-49 win against Spalding Girls Track Season 3-8 Conference 1 -8 Richwoods 79 - 49 Loss Manual 85 - 42 Loss Woodruff 78 - 49 Loss Delavan 97 - 31 Win Bergan 82 - 46 Loss Central 81 - 47 Loss Limestone 92 - 36 Loss East Peoria 87 - 41 Loss Academy 74 - 49 Win Washington 86 - 38 Loss M-SIOConf Meet 8th of 10 IVC 72 - 55 Win Senior track member Gena Tucker practices half of what she does best Gena did very well in both the discus (shown here) and the shot put all season Pekin Girls Varsity track team members include Front Row: Mary Canada.

Entranced by the story, these children provide learning experiences for the Child Care classes at PAVC. Chiefs Carry Much Responsibility Facing the principal duties and responsibilities on East and West Campuses are Mr Larry Stone and Mr. Art Keller. Chief administrative officials for their respective campuses, these two men carry a heavy load They must enforce board policies and rules, and are responsible for department chairmen, faculty, deans, counselors, librarians, nurses and club sponsors. They also supervise activities in their buildings. They report to Superintendent Lester Foote. Mr Keller admits, an unusual amount of time is spent with students who are absent for unexcused reasons. Mr. James Cadigan, head of PAVC, has primarily the same responsibilities as a principal. Along with budgeting, Mr Cadigan must also deal with problems — the biggest this year being heating. “It's been a good year We've had a better start with fewer problems,” says Cadigan, looking at the past year. Besides being superintendent, Mr. Lester Foote is the chief school official of the district over three campuses, reporting to the Board ot Education. Mr. Foote has been teacher, counselor, director of guidance, East Campus principal, director of curriculum, and assistant superintendent in his past years at PCHS. There’ve been no major problems, just everyday mishaps,” says Mr Foote Board Members of District 303 are elected to office and serve without pay.

His biggest problem this year, Heating.” It’s been a good year, though. We've had a better start with fewer problems,” he adds, looking back to first semester. Superintendent Les Foote, chief school official of District 303, supervises the three campuses, reporting to the Board of Education “Actually, there haven’t been any major problems, just everyday little aggravations, says Foote. He points out that I miss direct contact with students,” having served as a teacher, counselor, director of guidance, East Campus principal, director of curriculum, and assistant superintendent in his previous years at Pekin Community High School. Foote announced his early retirement in late March, effective at the close of the '80 school year. Among problems which Foote and the school board have had to resolve this year have been the firing of a football coach (Tom Innis), instituting mandatory final exams, in-school suspension on East Campus, new regulations for the outdoor graduation program, and the reinstatement of a basketball player from violation of an all-sport athletic code. Whether it’s a leaky window, a missing desk, two cartons of arriving supplies, a teacher looking for a bit of advice, or a student-parent conference that follows discipline — chances are that a principal will be involved sometime in the decisionmaking process. Charged with chief administrative responsibilities for their respective can-puses of West, East and Vocational Center, administrators Lawrence Stone, Art Keller and James Cadagin answer directly to Superintendent Les Foote Each campus chief is responsible for department chairmen, faculty, deans, counselors, librarians, nurse and club sponsors and activities in their buildings.

Administration 121 Counselors Are Always Available When a Student Needs a Friend Most students would not make it through high school in four years without the help of their counselors Counselors help students choose courses to plan their careers for when they are out of school and on their own! Counselors may refer students with special problems to outside agencies to get help, and may act as a go-between if there is a problem between a student and a teacher, but this is a less desirable part of their job The students make out a schedule for the whole year, now. According to Mrs Brown, Students are encouraged to see their counselor, no matter how small the problem is.” Now where would students be without their counselors? Counselors are Mr John Emery, Mrs. Norma Yock, Mr Harry Anderson, Mrs. Ann Brown, Mr. Bill Disney, Mrs. Julie Carver, Mr. Larry Spialek, and Mrs. Dorla Swanson. Mr. William Rees is the director of guidance and counseling.

You forgot to sign the open study hall sheet, is the comment. Mentally wiping the rolls of sweat away, you calmly sign your name and return to class Many students experience this feeling after getting called to the Dean’s office. Really, they are harmless human beings that students exaggerate about Holding conferences with parents regarding disciplinary suspensions and attendance problems, sending for and interviewing students regarding attendance or discipline problems, and writing out or initialing passes for students who are excused from being tardy to class are a few of the deans' duties. There is never a dull moment, commented Miss Dorothy Murphy, but I like my job because I enjoy working with you people. It's quite a challenge The Dean of attendance at East Campus is Miss Murphy and the Dean of Discipline is Mr. Roger Fleisher At West, both deans Mr. Wells and Mrs. Harrison take care of both disciplinary and attendance problems. Some usual excuses used to get back into school are going home to check the turkey, chasing cattle and pigs out of the yard, and waiting for clothes to dry — so remember not to use those! And one dean reminds students that when one calls to send a message (supposedly from a parent) one should know how to spell the name of the person to whom the message is being sent' Not one of his most pleasant jobs says Dean of Discipline Ken Wells, but a necessary one — filling out a suspension form Deans 123 Even With 3040 Students ... Teaching Is a Lonely Job “The secret of teaching is to appear to have Known all your life what you learned this afternoon.” says one teacher who continually finds information in his field — and believes that teachers DO learn from students! Pekin High's 149 teachers have many specializations to teach 3.040 students. Teachers attend college an average of four years to receive a Bachelor’s degree. Pekin High, over many years, has had student teachers return to teach as regular teachers Mr Hay. Mrs. Hebner. Mr. Rees. Mr Truckenmiller. Mrs. Whaley, and Mr. Valente are just a few Linda Anderson. Julie Carver, John Emery, Howard Haines. Renae Kuper, William Lipman, Carol Martin, and Kelly McCarthy are the only new faculty mem- bers at Pekin High this year. Many of our teachers have gotten various awards. Mr. Harry Anderson was given the “Illinois Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame” award; Mr Fred Reader received the “Outstanding Teacher” award; Mrs. Betty Bower was given the “Journalism Advisors” award; and Mr. Joe Venturi received the “Illinois Football Coaches Hall of Fame” award. Mrs. Henrietta Davis, Foreign Language Department chairman, heads Illinois Classical Conference; Mr Ron Boehm is president of Illinois Council for The Social Studies Among the faculty. Dr Melchers. psychology teacher, and Dr. Terrando. school psychologist, each hold a Doctor- ate degree There are three teachers with a Specialist degree, 101 with Master, and 59 with Bachelor degrees Only one teacher does not hold one of these degrees, but has an associate degree and a vocational certificate The split is nearly equal, the men with 59.1% of advanced degrees and women with 40.9%. Pekin High also employs two Registered Nurses; 38 secretarial clerical staff 45 cafeteria workers; and 25 custodians The next time you say a teacher does not know what he is talking about, consider the above statistics.

From academic classes where books may be the chief resource, there are independent study projects that require a student to investigate a field or subject by his own ingenuity.

Library, Media Focus on Books, Tapes, Film and Records Students have used East and West libraries more this year, possibly because of 23 new magazines which cover a gamut of special interests. Camping Journal, Apartment Life, Cycle World, Tennis and Golf Digest are some of the sought afer periodicals. Library purchases this year have totaled 1,400 new books. To make it easier to locate the books and materials, the libraries will begin a new cataloguing system known as the AACRA 2, which uses the best of the Dewey Decimal system, but changes the way subject matter is entered in the card catalogue. This procedure, which is not scheduled for completion until January 1981, should make the library material much more accessible. Media centers on both campuses provide tapes, records (music included) film strips and films Students have developed slide shows of economics projects, filmed movies, and made their own tape shows. Some faculty tape lectures for students to use should they miss class. Personnel for Libraries are East Librarian Miss LaRae Muselman, Mrs. Gloria Smith, clerk; Mrs. Virginia Sumney, West Librarian, Mrs. Betty Zimmerman and Mrs. Ale-tha Oakley, clerks. Media director on East is Stan Pieper, assisted by Mrs. MaryLou Friedrich, Ms. Patsy Waters is West Media director, assisted by Dean Grethey. Assisting East Campus students in the library are Miss LaRae Muselman and Mrs Gloria Smith Helping in the East Campus media center is Mrs Friedrich West Campus library clerks are Peggy Hurt, Mrs Aletha Oakley. Librarian Mrs Virginia Sumney. and Mrs Betty Zimmerman Mr. Pieper. director of East Campus media center, helps an East Campus student set up a film. 130 Library, Media Centers Student Health Carefully Monitored Student health and safety at PCHS lies in the hands of two very important People. Mrs. Sally Martin (West) and Mrs. Donna Verly (East) hold these responsibilities. On the average, these nurses see as many as 150 students daily. Mrs. Martin, who has been a school nurse for eight years, received her R N. degree from Huber Hospital in Pana, Illinois and is working on her Bachelor's degree Mrs. Verly, also working on her Bachelor's, spent her first two years at Pekin on West Campus. After moving to East, she says, I really enjoy working with this age group. She received training at Springfield Hsopital School of Nursing Both school nurses have a secretary to help them out. Mrs. Larkin (East) and Mrs Barwick (West) have such duties as general clerical functions and assisting in basic nursing techniques. Another person on West to help students in time of need is Dr. Loretta Terando, Pekin High School's psychologists. Dr. Terando has befriended many troubled teens in times of need. Teens who might not have anyone else to turn to. Dr. Terando feels that one with problems must ask himself, How do you feel about yourself? An example of her services would be a diet program she conducted early in the school year to help students with weight problems strengthen their will to shed pounds Anyone at PCHS (on East or West) is welcome to make an appointment with Dr. Terando. If you need help with a problem, that's what she's there for! Mrs Martin checks health forms Dr Terrando awaits a student Mrs Yerty checks a temperature Ice on sprains is routine in the nurses' offices Nurses 131 Service Staff Records School 'Stats’, Keeps Buildings, Equipment Operational The physical plant and day-to-day operation of Pekin High are service staff responsibilities. Students frequently find clerical and service staff as necessary to school as faculty members. A student meets staff members when they need game tickets or perhaps a box of cough drops, or to find if last six weeks grade was properly recorded. Mr. Art Oberle. director of student services (who incidentally, isn’t photographed here because he is in constant motion between buildings and campuses) is the man who oversees cafeteria operations, busing, ticket sales and general holiday tourney arrangements. So, when a bus seat gets damaged, or there's a complaint about cafeteria food, Mr. Oberle is the one who takes charge and tries to find a solution.

Cafeteria cookers and bakers begin their day at 7 a m., a lot earlier than most students get out of bed. Servers and dishwashers report for work between 10 and 10:30 a m. The last dish of the day is dried by 3 p.m. If that seems a lot of activity, consider frying 120 pounds of hamburger in just one day. Tenderloins are still the old time favorite, but a few new additions may soon replace the old favorite Moving up behind tenderloins are the super chicken burger, sliced turkey sandwiches, buri-tos, manwiches and sausage burgers.

Most people would say the maintenance staff’s 27 fulltime workers who also put in a lot of overtime work. Most of their work is done on their feet, in a back breaking position, and with little reward. Imagine waxing one million square feet of tile floors, using 800 gallons of wax, during the three months students have for vacation, then seeing them abused by paper or gum that students carelessly throw away Mowing grass isn’t anyone’s favorite job, however, the maintenance staff has the responsibility of 48 acres on East and West Campus Maintenance also has to make sure that the football field is kept in top condition in the fall, and the baseball and track in the spring. In the winter snow, removal costs $350 each time the white stuff hits. Although all these jobs are not easy, the hardest job would have to be conserva- tion. “Energy conservation gets the most complaints from the students and faculty,” explains Robert Ziebold. building and grounds director. “The (the students and faculty) complain that some rooms are real warm and comfortable, but their next hour class is freezing. Ziebold reminds however that energy problems brought a state law that all schools and other large state buildings must turn thermostats down to 65 degrees rather than the usual 68 degree temperatures in the past. Other jobs handled by the maintenance staff include taking care of the vandalism, which costs PCHS 17 to 20 thousand dollars every year. Cooperation between the students and the maintenance staff by not being so careless and saving your paper for the trash can, or cleaning up after lunch is essential to keep PCHS in tip-top condition, so support your maintenance staff!!!

No longer was there a Dean ot girls and a Dean ot boys 1 — or a girls’ gym” and a “boys’ gym.” As sophomores we saw, tor the tirst time, the surtace ot Mars through the landing ot NASA’s spacecratt. Junior year brought aiong a realization ot the dangers nuctear power couid have on us with the advent ot the Three-Mile island. Although all ot our high school years were signiticant to each ot us in a special way, no doubt Senior year was most memorable. As Seniors we witnessed the lran an crisis bringing back an upsurge in patriotism — and the possibilities ot dratt reinstatement made us appreciate the tranquility ot peace Likewise, the changes at PCHS were also signiticant — the dreaded tinals were reinstated, in-school suspension made tor a trial run, and the purchase ot our school dragon mascot brought school spirit.

Neil Stimpert and Tony McDonald placed 3rd and 4th in singles at the Mid-State-10 tennis competition. Peggy Petrow was one sophomore who attended the Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership Conference in Chicago to help train youths to be leaders of tomorrow. Mike Donahue added spirit to basketball games as he worked in cooperation with another PCHS student as the “Pekin Dragon mascot. They may not be exactly like the sophomores of 1965, but they sure are the sophomores of 1979-80 who possess qualities any class would be proud to have. Sophomores work harder1 Busy as the “now generation, and already looking ahead to 1982, the sophomore class probably doesn't know the goings-on at PCHS fifteen years ago when it was still in its infancy. 1965 was a good year for sports. The football team walked away with the championship. Gay McNaughton was student council vice-president even before ERA. That year, East Campus theater became the F. M Peterson Theater, following the retirement of Mr. Peterson. Even though the 1979-80 sophomores might not remember the sophomores of 1965, it's doubtful the'll ever forget the fun they had this year at PCHS. Not only did they participate in homecoming skits and floats, they were outstanding in sports and academic achievement At the 196 Sophomores Abbott. Dennis Abernathy. Dennis Abies. Albert Abraham.

PCHS students certainly do Other than for the usual cruising up and down Court Street, and an occasional stop at Steak and Shake to check out who's there, the nightspots are the discos, movies, or a quiet night at home with friends.

Poison Apple, and the Courtyard open their doors one night a week to students For every night dancing fun is Tut's Tomb which caters only to students. Discos offer an exciting atmosphere where people can Shake Their Bootie and meet new people too. For those who don't have the rhythm in them, there's always the movies. The General Cinema 1 and 2 at the Pekin Mall and the Star-Lite drive-in is where you can find the latest movies After the running to discos and movies, most students find that a quiet night at home is the best and cheapest night of all. Some make popcorn or pizza and talk over the latest news, others turn on a stereo and listen to their favorite hits From movies to cruising, all PCHS students have their favorite nightspots. Some are cheaper than others, but students just want to have fun no matter what the price. “I Love the Night Life!” Students gel down at the Second Chance Discos have become a popular mghlspot Cox, Bruce Crafton, Deborah Craig, Mark Crawford.

Everyone has most likely purchased a fad item at some time or another. Fad defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as a “briefly popular fashion, ranges from hair to clothes and jewelry. In the past years, fad hair fashions for girls have gone from the bouffant sets, to the long straight look, and then to the all over layered look, better known as the feathered style. Recently, curly permanents have been in fashion for guys as well as girls. With the movie ' 10's’ release, the beaded, braided, Bo Derek look has been the latest vogue to please the consumer. It wasn’t too long ago that gaucho pants were in style along with cowboy boots and vests. Some of these styles went out as quickly as they came in. Some will, however, be popular for the rest of our fashion-minded lives. Novelty items are usually the most faddish products on the market. Think back . . . do you remember those beaded chokers that everyone used to make and wear, or all the different items with the “peace” emblem on them? How 'bout the wild sparkly nail polishes with the far-out colors that many girls thought added a touch of class to their style? Fashions hot in the market place the past year of 79-80 are the spiked slip-on sandals, Colorado hiking boots, cowboy hats, ankle bracelets, brightly colored see-through raincoats, straight leg jeans, baggies, stick-pins, hair-combs. French-cut swimsuits, and the list goes on and on. Each year a new look is contrived from all the fashion designers across the globe. Frequently, one opens a magazine such as Seventeen, Vogue, Glamour, or Mademoiselle, and find fashion ad with a bit more daring or unique look to the clothes a model might be wearing. However, only we the consumers will decide what is fashion and what isn't. Feeling “cool in today's ever increasingly popular straight leg jeans. East campus student telephones a friend Chances are her jeans are designer styles by Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Levi's or Body Lingos On school's warmest days, jeans and T-shirts make the scene in the East inner courtyard. 216 Fads and Fashions Jay Beeney displays a touch of western style in his cowboy hat Art students took projects to design their own individualized hat bands in feather and bead trims Hats appeared at basketball, football games and especially on “hat day during Student Council Week Dress slacks updated the jeans scene this year, along with the popular vest that goes with skirls or pants Jamie Endicott checks out the listing of college representatives schedules on East hallway bulletin board Sundress and Dr. Scholl-style sandals, perennial summer favorites of Joyce Collins, senior, checking out a book display in the library, were favorites for those warm days of April and May — despite East's air conditioned atmosphere Fads and Fashions 217 Freshmen Inducted Into Ins, Outs of High School Life Elevator passes, wrong directions, foreboding teachers, and a bad case of nerves are just a few things the freshman class of PCHS had to put up with the first week of school. Maybe the most frightening thing but also the most exciting in the long run was the opportunity to meet students from six junior high schools. Not only were the students from other junior highs, but some were even from foreign countries. Huy Bui and Thong Nguyen from Vietnam, Sookie Choi from Korea, and Daje Acra from Dominican Republic have all brought some of their culture into our American school system. After the first week jitters were over, the freshmen got into the full swing of things. They found opportunities they never had in junior high; such as more choices of courses to take, more people to meet, a leeway, the Dragon's Den, and the opportunity to participate in various club and sport activities. The freshmen only had three class officers this year because no one ran for secretary. However, the officers did sponsor a float for Homecoming this year with the theme Go Bananas!” Though the beginning of their freshman year was slow and scary, the freshmen accepted different responsibilities which made them a big part of high school life. Freshman class otticefs for '79-'80 include Tam Lussenhop, president; Suzanne Leonardson. vice-president; Linda Marquardt, treasurer 218 Freshmen Abbott, Deana Abts, Toni Adams, Heidi Ahten, Darren Adkins, Josh Allcock, Ken Allen, Rayna Allison, Deanna Anderson, Danial Andrae, Rodney Appleyard, Catherine Arnett, Tim Ashley, Steven Atterberry, Delbert Autrey, Sherry Baker, Ray Barnard, Rose Barr, Tammy Barth, Randy Bartlett, Vicky Basso, Michael Bates, Willis Batterton, Richard Baumgartner, Barbara Beasley, Jeri Beaty, Alan Becker, Mike Becker.

Unfortunately, this was one of the traditional activities some students participated in during the Halloween season Many students didn't spend their time so mischievously. A Halloween party was held by Red Cross Club at Pekin Memorial Hospital on the 4th and 5th flogrs. Halloween night proved to be chilly but there was still a large crowd at the parade The colorful line of ghosts and monsters started at James Field and continued to the river's front. The cold didn't keep students home, either PCHS students could usually be found decorating an enemy's house or car. Some of the decorative items ranged between teepee, soap, and the always popular egg. Halloween just wouldn’t be right without going through a haunted house Radio stations WIRL and KZ93 in Peoria opened the largest haunted houses in the Pekin area Both were complete with flashing lights, glowing monsters and eerie music. On Halloween night with PCHS students out, you really do have to watch for things that go bump in the night.

Express your opinions so that people will listen to your views. The Pekin speech program is designed to encourage students in both a personal and perhaps career skill in public speaking. Four courses are ottered including Speech Communication I and II, Logic and Argumentation, and Radio Communication. Speech Communications introduces the structure, processes and important roles of communicating in our society. Both formal and informal communication is emphasized in the classroom with group and individual speeches. Logic and Argumentation offers a student the chance to voice opinion on local or world issues. The student also covers classical and modern argument through use of a mock trial Radio communication is a popular class with its emphasis on broadcast journalism. History of radio is studied, with the development of skills to become an effective announcer Final weeks are involved in simulation exercises including play-by-play sports-cast, being a disc jockey and doing a five minute radio program Coordinator of Speech Department is Mr Douglas Springer Also teaching speech and drama is Mr Glen Smith and Mr Fred Vogt. Resources from U S News and World Report help Steve Sudhoft prepare a speech Honors earned by speech students during their activities include Degrees ol Distinction in NFL Pekin Speech Program Cultivates Personal, Career Opportunities to Speak Out and Be Heard! Stars May be Born in Pekin’s Drama Classes Act well your part for there the honor lies, . .. This quote hangs above the drama room door to give general advice to drama students or play cast members before performing. The drama classes main emphasis is on the basic principles of the theatre, makeup, set, and acting. In the classroom students participate in small scenes without the elaborate set and stage make-up The other responsibility of the department is to organize play productions within the school. In the play production students are given the chance to work in a professional type of theatre environment; where a full set, make-up, and an audience are all part of the total picture The chairman of the drama department is Glenn E. Smith, he also is the director and teacher of drama and humanities Fred Vogt also teaches drama on West This year the department held a banquet to honor those who had participated in the drama year. Members from the contest play and spring play were invited Two awards were given by the department, the first; The Charly Theatrical Award was presented to the Senior drama student who had and will uphold the ideals of the theatre. This year's winner was Parish Worsfold The second award was the Outstanding Crew Member award which was presented to Seniors Jeff Trimble and Scott Percefull for their work on stage crew Above left: Cast members from fall musical Marne experience the stage Parish Worsfold receives the Charly Award from Drama coach Glenn Smith Seniors Jeff Trimble and Scott Percefull earned the '80 Outstanding Crew Member Award Drama encourages students to create new roles Drama 239 Art Is Rewarding It is a very natural thing for art students to be carrying art supplies such as a sketchbook, a rug of weaving, canvas painting or a paintcan and brushes But this is nothing to many art students because art classes are so rewarding. This year in the 1980 Scholastic Art Awards contest PCHS had an overwhelming turnout. Three hundred pieces of art work were submitted and 62 came back with awards, which happens to be the most for any school in this area In the art awards contest, only 5 participants are labeled with the Hallmark seal, the highest award given. Rod Calvert and Todd Glasgow won two out of the five in this area. The other awards given were gold key, finalists, and certifications of merit. The art classifications entered from Pekin were painting, mixed media, jewelry, drawing, photos, graphic design, printmaking, and pottery. Other honors received by students this year have been from Illinois Wesleyan Unviersity, Illinois Central College, and five pieces selected for a slide presentation of Outstanding High School Drawings from Illinois.'' Art classes include drawing and painting and two dimensional designs done with different kinds of media. Students learn the fundamentals for all advanced classes Each semester of art is one full credit. Art one and two are required to take and pass before taking any other advanced courses. West campus advanced art offerings include Printmaking first semester and sculpture during second semester East campus advanced art offerings are first semester, printmaking, textiles, independent study, drawing, jewelry, and painting 1. Second semester courses are painting 2,’sculpture, jewelry, textiles, graphic design, special art projects and independent study. Students who want to incorporate art into their life and satisfy a creative desire should explore the art classes offered at PCHS.

There is a wide vareity of courses offered to the music minded and talented individuals: music theory and music history, band, swing choir, concert choir, jazz band, orchestra, chamber- music. This was the first year for music theory to be cut from a two semester course to a single semester course. Another addition to the music department this year was hiring of Miss Ann Crawford as orchestra conductor. Pekin's Civic Chorus, in expression of their appreciation to the PCHS music department, added a grand piano to the F M Peterson Theater The piano, a beautiful black Yamaha grand, has a bright, glorious tone, and will offer enjoyment for the performer and the listener Traditional music awards were again given for the ’79-80 year. National Orchestra award, Ted Hallberg; the National Choral Award. Eric Hansen. Both awards were given at the Spring Music Showcase Kari Emerson and Holly Juchems were presented the John Philip Sousa award and the Louis Armstrong Award was won by Bruce Pape, band awards. Award of appreciation were presented to Gayle Gebhardt and Cheryl Newton, accompanists of the Concert Choir. Second place in the Illinois Sweepstakes was taken by the PCHS music department. The Illinois high schools that enter are placed in classes according to school enrollment; Pekin is in the AA division — which is the highest. Band, orchestra, and choir must submit their contest scores Contests include solo and ensemble held at ICC and organization contest. Points were given according to scores. What an honorable way for PCHS to end the year. Music 241 No Language Is “Foreign” to Them Taking a foreign language is more than just learning the tongue of an exotic country; it is also learning the customs and lifestyles of that country. Foods day is a fun way to study a country's culture. On foods day, the class prepares food that is customary to the foreign country they are studying. First year Latin classes at West Campus simulated an Italian restaurant where they spoke only Latin and Italian and prepared and served Italian dishes to their Spanish student guests. In addition, third and fourth year French and German classes held a food exchange. West Campus Spanish students hosted Latin students on a cruise aboard the Barco de Amor” (Love Boat). Among the special guests on the cruise were foreign exchange student Diane Antonini and her Costa Rican sister. Field trips, national and state language contests, and language clubs are also popular activities of language classes. Freshman Lisa Rohe placed second in downstate and fifth in a seven-state regional phase on National French Contest given at Bradley University. John Knight, a freshman Latin student, placed first in state while he and Lauryn Mayer received Superior and Excellent at state level. French students practiced that language over Easter vacation on a trip to Europe. German students will get their chance this summer. Latin classes also took a special trip to the Chicago Art Institute to view a Pompeii exhibit. Slide presentations, movies, books, plays, and poems also spiced up language classes betwen grammar and vocabulary lessons. Department Chiarman is Mrs. Henrietta Davis, with language teachers Mrs. Helen Hickersberger, Miss Eloise Metzger, Mrs. Lezlie Padgen, Mrs. Sandra Henson and Miss Judith Streid. Phil Harris's fondness of burntos was not diminished when he won the Spanish burrito eating contest. French Class Students who participated in the Illinois French exams are: T Bonnette, K Hickman.

Grammar, literature, spelling, composition, and vocabulary are all part of the required six semesters of English, but English doesn't mean just those five basic areas. Drama, speech, journalism, etymology, mythology, and humanities are also a part of our English department. Reading a book is the only way you get to experience the feel of the bean bag chair The air of the parlour being taint with the smell of sweet cake so reads Mr Dave Evans English 2R class in Chartes Dickens' Great Expectations Greg Timke brought a replica of Miss Haversham s wedding cake to share with the class There are also two special classes designed last year in the English department. One of these classes include an Enrichment” class for the top 30 students academically. This class explores many subjects other than regular courses taken in English classes. The other class is called Prep Skills , for freshmen who received a 6.2 or below from the reading sub-test on their entrance exams, involving following directions, spelling rules, and comprehension of English. Another thing to help the students, is the Bookshelf located at West Campus in room 151, and open before and after school. The Bookshelf carries at least 32 book titles, and 20 magazine titles, which are changed every two weeks. Class field trips included a trip to the Woolsey funeral home for English 5A’s Death Unit , and trips to the planetarium and archeological exhibition, a musical (The Man of La Mancha), and an opera (Amahl and the Night Visitors), for the Enrichment” class. The English Department Chairman is Nelson Eddings; Faculty members include Betty Bower, Pat Burwell, Donna Carner, Michael Chobanian, David Evans, Sandra Farnum, Carol Fleming, Leigh Henson, Pat Knight, Gloria Neal. Robert Neal, Jane Paullin, Paul Pearson, Gordon Petry, Pat Pharo, Mike Powell, Mary Roffman, Eloise Schneider, Judith Soady, Sue Steele, Judith Streid, Ann Turner, and Bruce Varner. 244 English English 245 A book that certainly holds your interest.

But for some people, biology is the most interesting class taken in high school. If you plan on a career in science after you get out of high school, there are many courses offered on both campuses of Pekin High that will give you background in the particular field of your interest A goal of the science program is to make students more aware of how and why natural processes take place There has been a drop in the enrollment of physics classes from past years because most students think physics is too difficult. This may explain why only 25% of the physics students are girls. Controlled experiments are often held which means they are done by the teacher. One year a student filled a stock bottle of calcium oxide with water and capped it. It reacted and the room became covered with glass. Since incidents of this sort happen, goggles are required to be worn in chemistry to protect the eyes when doing an experiment. “I like to teach the class, and students seem to enjoy the class.“ comments Mr Hollis Daniels. Fields that require biology. physics, and chemistry are nursing, medicine, forestry, and engineering Science courses include Basic Science, biology, Chemical Science, chemistry, Introduction to Conservation, Life Science, and physical sciences. Science department chairman is Mr Hollis Daniels. Science instructors are Miss Linda Anderson. Mrs. Joyce Deiss. Mr Howard Haines, Mr William Lipman. Mr F. M. Oakley, Mrs. Karen Preis. Mr. Fred Reader. Mr. Dennis Sans, and Mr John Westfall.

However, students are still talking about '‘Roots,’’ Holocaust,” and trouble in Iran. Students can learn from past history so they don’t repeat some of the same mistakes, say social studies faculty. A change this year in the social studies curriculum for incoming freshmen is that there is one more social studies requirement needed to graduate. They must take one semester of American Government, two semesters of American History, and two semesters of a social studies course of their choice. The additional requirement was set by state legislators because they feel that every student should have background as to the sacrifices and accomplishments of previous generations. They should appreciate leaders accomplishments. The push is to have students know more about their political process and how it works. Being able to vote at younger ages requires practical know-how to governmental practices. Chairman of the Department Ronald Boehm said, ‘‘Personally, I feel that the requirement is a good idea. There are 12 courses of social science. These include American Government, American History 1 and 2, civics, Contemporary Problems 1 and 2. Economics. International Relations, psychology, sociology. Urban geography, World Geography 1 and 2, World History 1 and 2, and World Issues.

There is only one year of math required at PCHS, but since jobs in the field of computers are available, juniors and seniors have become more interested in this program; many taking math classes through their senior year. The classes available to the students include math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, UICSM, math analysis, calculus, and basic and FORTRAN Thirteen math teachers from PCHS, along with more than 2,000 teachers and specialists from across the US attended the National Council of Mathematics meeting in Peoria, where new methods ot teaching math were demonstrated. The emphasis on the importance ot mathematics in industry was also stressed by representatives of Caterpillar Tractor Company, who visited math classes on West Campus in October In another program to gain information from industries on math needs, Mary Truckenmiller worked at East Peoria Caterpillar in the Statistics Department where she participated in a Work-Learn program where the participants were assigned jobs in their own teaching fields. Upon her return to PCHS, Mrs. Truckenmiller shared her experiences in the program and taught skills required from work in the field of industry. Teachers in the math department include Richard Barker, Alice Coon, Mary Ebert, Michael Hay, Marvin Kieswetter, John Love, Don Miller, Melvin Rein.

This is just one valuable skill out of many, that business courses at PCHS will help students understand the importance of. PCHS Business Department offers students many classes to choose from in order to prepare for whatever career field they wish to enter. One of these classes is Recordkeeping. Recordkeeping teaches students the knowledge of basic business forms that are used in clerical office jobs. Some of which are: receipts, and keeping petty cash records. Typing is divided into three courses allowing students to learn the operation of a typewriter. Typing 1 is the basic skills: typing 2 is provided for college-bound students who have completed Typing 1; and Typing 3 helps students increase their typing speed and accuracy. Marketing 1 and 2 are taught for students entering the sales field These courses consist of learning about the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the fields of selling and the marketing system. Business Math is a course designed to present the basic math skills needed in business and by consumers Areas covered are calculating machines, understanding metrics and taxes. Consumer Business class helps a student learn about credit, in both economic functions and its relation to law, business practice, managing of income and spending, and government This course fulfills the state law regarding the teaching of consumer information in the Senior Dirk Steckman reaches his figures in Accounting II Bruce Pape concentrates on learning the home row in Typing I. 252 Business schools. Accounting has four divisions. Accounting 1 deals with keeping records of money value. The Accounting 2 class is a continuation of Accounting 1. Accounting 3 and 4 is specifically vocational and career oriented. The courses are designed to help students, who wish to enter the accounting field or become a CPA. Shorthand emphasizes on the development of Gregg shorthand principles, improvement of ability to spell and punctuate, read and write shorthand, and transcribe shorthand notes. Notehand is mainly for college-bound students. In this course, the student develops skill in the use of a selected shorthand system and then applies this skill in organizing ideas which he hears, reads, or creates himself. All of these courses are provided for students to learn about the knowledge and skills used in the business world today. Mr. Glen Bergerhouse is department chairman.

Then you move to using wrenches, even to power tools — and perhaps to designing your own tools. But before one can build a house, one must first learn to handle the tools, then read blueprints, and finally — to put it all together in actual construction. Industrial Arts offer progressive courses through to a concentrated vocational program. Drafting 1-4, Woodshop 1-4, Machine Shop 1-2, and Basic Crafts are available to students in the Industrial Arts curriculum. Drafting explores pictorial drawing and house plan sketches. From there, students move to sheet metal layouts, data graphs and on to drawing a house from scratch. Techniques must be mastered before students begin work with tools as lathes, table saws, drill presses, routers and boring machines.

Retirement won't end the influence of these educators who have touched not only students' lives, but also the lives of parents, other teachers, and the commu- nity — which after all, benefits most from Pekin High graduates who are productive, mature and enthusiastic citizens Mrs. Godby and Mr Lowman presented gifts to the retirees, from staff and faculty and Board. The Great Flood of Pekin is the way many people will remember the damage left by the severe thunderstorms which swept through the Pekin area on June 2. Although it did not last 40 days and 40 nights, the rain deluge was the cause of the collapsed roof of the Pekin Post Office, damaged homes and property, and did much crop damage Mail service was slowed following the roof collapse of the Pekin Post Office, and employees helped move the post office from 514 Broadway to the vacant Vogel’s building on South 2nd Street Firefighters with motorboats were busily rescuing people in flooded areas throughout town. In some areas the flood waters were up to the windows of cars. The PCHS East Campus was used as a Red Cross station for flood victims. Probably the most significant damage was done to the crops because of the sudden rise of the Mackinaw River This day will especially stand out in the minds of the Pekinian staff because as they were busy working on the yearbook at East Campus, they watched in fear as the ominous storm clouds raged around them. Because of all the damage few people will ever forget the day Tazewell County became the land of 10,000 lakes. MichetleReidart and Sherry Hardin enjoy wading in the three and one half foot waters in front of the Pennzoil Company on the corner of South Second Street An aerial photo records the damage to the Pekin Post Office Following heavy rains of four to six inches, the roof collapsed at 11 a m No injuries were incurred, and most mail was salvaged — though damp and soggy Following the June 2nd rain, mail was not delivered on regular routes until June 6 June Deluge 297 The '70’s a Decade to Be Remembered A Bicentennial year. Watergate, the resignation of President Nixon, the Vietnam protesters, gas prices topping a dollar a gallon. Three Mile Island, test-tube babies, the Energy Crisis, and the Iranian crisis the last decade will be an era never forgotten. Four years ago. the nation celebrated its 200th birthday Banners flew, people cheered, fireworks lit the sky. and commercialization prospered. Everything from huge 13. 50 star, and Spirit of 76 flags to red. white and blue coffins were sold. When the decade began, gas was only 35C a gallon — now. the price of gas has more than tripled to $1.20 a gallon. On June 17. 1972. an event took place that changed the nation’s outlook toward U S government Someone had broken in to the Democratic Party Headquarters — Watergate had begun After the smoke had cleared, a new president was in office Everyone was terribly concerned about Vietnam, the ugliest, most unpopular war in which 213.415 American boys were killed or wounded In 1970. 100.000 students marched on Washington to protest our careless involvement in the Vietnam war A 24 word statement, the ERA. caused more debate over a major issue than had been heard since prohibition 1984 is the deadline which must be met. and 3 states are all that is needed to insure passage Now at the beginning of a new decade, a new crisis is confronting the nation, a crisis that could lead to another war Iran “This war will be different.” some proclaim “Everybody is standing up for their country This will be more like WWIII instead of like another Vietnam “ World War III, Vietnam, or Korea, war is war!! Innocent people are killed, land is destroyed Americans seem to be entering a period of less personalization and greater mechanization Lives seem to be changed, but the attitude towards our nation’s unity remains intact God Bless America; forever may she live 298 t Recap of the 70 s __________I ■IQ frfOv'l VMcgw PEKIN,ILLINOIS , HOME of UZWS$£U MISS ILLINOIS 1979 Wtitoo bee f A gas shortage drove the prices up, and created demands for gasahol Plus the gasoline shortage, there was the question of Khomeini's hostages — 55 Americans held in our embassy in Tehran What to do — after school9 Join up9 With who9 Even in times of crisis, presidential campaigning goes on Besides a national crisis, our own area felt the pain during the Caterpillar strike lasting 3 months During this time, elections carry on as Muhammed All campaigns for his senate candidate Finally.
