Student Life Academics Athletics People 4 12 82 114 164 Table of Contents---------------------------- A Letter from the Editor Dear Reader, You might be wondering why there is a picture of a bowl of fruit on the first page. Well, this year’s theme is Still Life, and a bowl of fruit is the classic example of a still life. You might be wondering now why the theme of our yearbook is Still Life, since a bowl of fruit has nothing to do with Pekin High School in 1983. The reason is simple — pun. Still life, with emphasis on the word “still,” means inanimate, or dead. With the emphasis on the word “life,” however, the phrase takes on a whole new meaning that contradicts “dead.” I chose that theme because I wanted to show that there is still life in our school, despite contrary opinion. I also wanted the book to have a sense of humor. The bowl of fruit graphically displays both ideas. The bowl of fruit could also symbolize that each page of this book is a delicious morsel to be savored, ripening and getting better every year, with surprises in store as you get to the bottom. But I doubt it. Bon apetit. John Knight Contents 3 Still Life People often say that there is no life in PCHS. Because the campuses are split. West is often “left out” and therefore stagnates. Coach Friday charged that the basketball crowds weren’t lively enough to affect the players, and he held a pep assembly to prove it. In the mock elections, a mere 120 out of 1300 people bothered to vote. Due to the lack of members, International Club collapsed. Student Council, it is claimed, is an elitist society of students that accomplish nothing. At first glance of these examples, it seems that the people who say that there is no life in PCHS are right. 4 Still Life Still Life Still Life 5 c+: II L jTl IT0 Still Life To the victor go the spoils. These trophies were the spoils of the Holiday Tournament held annually at Pekin. The cafeteria that is usually filled with shouts and laughter is caught in a rare moment of almost disquieting silence. Don’t be heartless! The Fashion and Interior Design class tried to make sure this fate would not happen to anyone by selling the hearts for Valentine’s Day as a fund raiser. Amid the reflections are many memories of school days gone by, with a touch of present-day craftsmanship in the form of benches sitting stately before darkened windows. Still Life 7 Still Life 8 Still Life Here should be a picture of my favorite apple. It is also a nude and bottle. It is also a landscape. There are no such things as still lifes. — F.rica Jong Erica Jong wrote a lot of smutty books, so w hat does she know about Pekin Community high school in 1983? you may be asking yourself (then again, maybe not). Not a whole lot. 1 admit. But her quotation applies to the theme of this book, that there is still life at Pekin. Throughout the next 296 pages in the book, you'll see ample evidence of life during the school year. You'll learn about the nationally famous politicians that came to the area and inspired many students to get active in politics. You'll learn that physical fitness was very important, with even the faculty getting involved in the activities. You'll learn about what student council did. including causing the most students ever to vote in the elections for student council officers. You'll learn that the speech department had a state champion and two all-state cast members. All that and much, much more proof of life await you in the book. So get going! What are you wasting your time reading this for? Marching around during half-time, the student council tries to inject some life into the crowd by donning the old dragon outfit. 10 Still Life Still Life Still Life 11 Student Life 13 Bonfire’s End? c were lucky to have any bonfire, admitted Shar Hillman, student council intercampus president, explaining the switch from a pre-homecoming trational bonfire of wood to the 83 look of “paper. Stacks of school paper, collected by the maintenance staff and hauled to the site at the practice field, were covered by a thick wire cage to help contain any flying ashes. Considerations which brought about the change ranged from increasing costs to clean up the bonfire residue, to concern about Bl RN, BABY, BURN. Trying to ignite the stubborn bonfire with kerosene is student council advisor Jim Fairchild. The traditionbreaking paper fire burned for just 30 minutes. activities that had occurred during the bonfires in the past, and to problems of the junk which accumulated in donations of wood, etc. Hillman reported that the cost of restoring the soil on the baseball diamond after last year's bonfire was more than $3,000. Student help on clean-up had been inadequate and professional assistance was required to finish up the job. The change to a paper bonfire brought a lot of student criticism. However, the bonfire did occur although fewer students attended and less time was needed to watch it burn down. Many students were just glad that they got to have a bonfire! A stadium decorating contest and spirit stick competition prcceedcd the bonfire. Juniors won both events. Pot O’ Gold for All Homecoming ’82 “Rainbow’s End” Images of glistening stars, billowy clouds, and a swirling spectrum of colors were projected by Homecoming '82, “Rainbow’s End. The traditional sequence of the agenda, slightly modified, saw skits and coronation held Thursday, a pen rally composed of class competitions and the bonfire on Friday, and the parade, game, and dance on Saturday of homecoming week. Launching the annual activities, the class of '83 won the skit competition for the second year in a row. They presented The Rainbow Zone, a bizarre hybrid of The Wizard of Oz and The Twilight Zone. Portraying the muppet characters playing the homecoming game, the juniors performed The Rainbow Connection. The sophomores staged their version of the Pekin vs. Woodruff game, in which members of the Warriors became injured from each play executed until the fourth down when so many players were disabled that they forfeited the game. Coach Clark's secret game plan was stolen and had to be retrieved in the freshmen plot. As the apprehensive crowd waited.

Homecoming 15 Homecoming 82 “Rainbow’s End” Friday, members of each of the classes joined in decorating a part of the football stadium. Then the traditional “Almost Anything Goes” contests began. Juniors took firsts in body relay and tug of war contests; seniors dominated the raw egg toss, the jello and licorice races. Coach Clark and the cheerleaders led the classes in a shouting contest with juniors prevailing. Junior class Vice President Kris Love received the new “Spirit Stick” and led the rowdy crowd in a snake dance to the baseball diamond where the Council ignited the bonfire. Saturday morning brought the parade from James Field to Broadway, breaking up at the stadium. Although there was no rain, rainbows shone everywhere. Class of '83 won the float contest with its “Go for the Gold,” a 16-foot rainbow climaxing in a pot of gold. In spite of the fact Woodruff defeated Pekin that afternoon, 29-20, Pekin spirit wasn't dampened. Masses of red balloons were released at each Pekin touchdown and dotted the skies periodically. Alumni congregated after the game in a special tent erected at the north end of the field. Punch and cookies were served as an encouragement to get former students to stop and visit Council, faculty and administrators, and to recall their homecoming memories. A special section of bleachers, roped off for past homecoming queens and kings, drew attention to the royalty of years past. Climaxing the evening was the dance in East Campus cafeteria. Decorations in rainbow hues were by Student Council. Twiggs was the band playing. Overall, “Rainbow's End” offered a pot full of golden memories for everyone who participated. QUEEN WITHOUT A THRONE.

WELCOMES K Senator ft KENNEDY ' Political life uncovered: 18 year-olds participate “W„l Rea-ganomics play in Peoria?” Well, according to the results of the 1982 congressional election — yes — at least until 1984 when Ronald Reagan is up for re-election. In an effort to keep Republican Robert Michel in the House, Ex-President Gerald Ford visited Pekin for the second time and presented a pep rally in the East Campus Gymnasium for juniors and seniors. His campaign work paid off as Michel was re-elected House Minority Leader over G. Douglas Stephens. For the State Senate, however, the parties were reversed, and the incumbent lost. Democrat Richard Luft defeated his Republican opponent and incumbent Craig Findley. Findley and Luft both gave speeches to American Government classes. Mr. Donald Vedas, American Government teacher said, ‘‘The nominees came to tell the students first hand how State Legislators operate.” According to Mr. Jim Carner, “50 students from Pekin were able to vote in the Congressional Election in November and close to 169 students had registered in time for the city elections in April.” Brian Redmon, American Government student, was deputized so that he would be able to register PCHS students as legal voters. Other students had more pull than just voting. Spending their time campaigning for their favorite candidates were Tami Lussenhop, Rich Barr, and Glen Ogle. However, this was not done without merit. Mr. Jordan, Mr. Carner and Mr. Vedas all give extra credit for student involvement in the elections. The gym was adorned with red, white, and blue balloons and banners to welcome House Minority Leader Robert Michel and his entourage of supporters. Representative Michel spoke to a large audience of students, faculty, and community members to gain support. 18 Politics Important people bring many followers. Stephens, virtually unknown before the election, had Senator Edward Kennedy as the key drawing card to a rally at the arena. Even though Kennedy was almost an hour late, many people stayed to support the Democrats. The crowd cheered (and ieered) as Ford and Michel walked in hand-in-hand to kick off the Republican rally in the E.C. gym. .PEKIN wn rnME$ Campaigning is old hat to Ex-President Ford. However, he turned up not to campaign for himself, but for Robert Michel. The Republicans hoped to “balance out Ted Kennedy’s visit with Ford. Pekin welcomed G.

In Pekin, The Mousetrap ran for three days and featured eleven actors. However, since Pekin is not measured by London professional theatre standards, Pekin’s Mousetrap was still a success. It is a murder mystery penned by Dame Agatha Christie; because it is still on its original run in London, it is obviously one of her best. As the houselights dimmed, the first sound the audience heard was a bloodcurdling scream, followed by the song “Three Blind Mice.” Then as the stage lit up, a radio announcer with a British accent began, “According to Scotland Yard officials, the crime took place at twenty-four Culver Street, Paddington ...” Whodunnit? Was it the childish, neurotic Christopher Wren, portrayed by Terry Bonnctte and Brian Gansmann? Or was the masculine Miss Casewcll, played by Dana Rush and Julie Carnegie, lying when she claimed innocence? Did Major Metcalf, brought to life by Todd Vignassi, know more than he was saying? Or was the innocent Mollie Ralston, portrayed by Gina Hcussncr, less innocent than she seemed? Was Giles Ralston, Rick Taylor, actually out in the country, or could he have been in the vicinity of twenty-four Culver Street? Wras the haughty Mrs. Boyle, played by Vicky Bartlett, a prospective victim or a prospective killer? How was the mysterious Mr. Paravicini (Jeff Schumm) involved? Detective Sergeant Trotter, enacted by John Knight, had to consider all those questions. Furthermore, his only clue was the nursery rhyme “Three Blind Mice.” The ending is pure Christie — surprise after surprise. In fact, only five percent of the audience polled at intermission had figured out the identity of the killer. That's the skill of Agatha Christie — she keeps the audience sniffing at the wrong cheese. A tired (.iles Ralston (Rick Taylor) listens to Mrs Boyle i Janice Bartley) compain about the cold trip to the guest house. Drama Portfolio 23 Craziness dominates Onions w . has 100 arms and legs, a sister that looks like an egg yolk, a mother that has a whale spout, and a house that has a man on top of it counting seals? Well, if you don’t know, you missed the spring play. Spring play this year was “Onions in the Stew” written by Betty MacDonald and directed by Mr. Glenn Smith. Something rather unusual happened this year. Of the 25 students in the cast, 18 were underclassmen, including 8 freshmen. The lack of “seasoned” actors led to a few noisy rehearsals, but the newer members of the cast soon quieted down backstage and put together a crowdpleasing show. In the beginning, the set was going to be small because of the success of the contest play which tied up the crew for an extra week. However, the crew decided that the lost week was for a good cause and built one of the largest sets in years. Along with the usual flats and fireplace, the crew constructed a stone back wall and suspended beams. The set successfully gave the effect of the island cottage that Mrs. MacDonald had always dreamed of. The story centered around a family that moved from Seattle, Washington to an island off the coast. The move was a life long dream of the mother, Betty MacDonald, but the rest of the family was not as happy about the move. When the MacDonalds got settled in, their misfortunes began. Every unlikely disaster that could befall a family seemed to happen to the MacDonalds, from leaky pipes to invading yellow jackets. After all of that, the discouraged MacDonalds decide that island life is not for them. The house is put up for sale. A woman, sent by a convalescent home to look at the house as a prospective new location, is the first and only person to look at the house. The MacDonalds try everything to make the woman decide to buy the house. They almost resort to lying when they all realize that the house means more to them than what they thought. The truth is made known about the disaster-ridden home and the woman thanks them for their frankness and promptly leaves with a swarm of yellow jackets not far behind. The story ends with Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald trying to relax after the ship full of sailors that their daughters invited arrives on the beach. 24 Drama Portfolio DRAMA With make-up and costume on.

Drama Portfolio 25 DRAMA After burning Algernon, Charlie pleads with God not to let Algernon’s fate happen to him. To make sure that Charlie Gordon, Ryan Gerkin, is the person for the experiment, some tests arc given to him by a nurse. Lisa Rohe. ‘Algernon’ is 5th in State dramatized by the doctors, portrayed by John Knight and Richard Taylor, who view Charlie the same way they view a laboratory mouse. Another aspect of the play is explored in the relationship between Charlie and his teacher, played by Gina Heussner. When Charlie has the mentality of a five-year-old, the teacher regards him fondly as a happy little boy. However, as he becomes more and more intelligent, the two fall in love. As Charlie begins to regress, he forgets his relationship with her, while she can’t deny her feelings. She finally leaves him because he can no longer understand her feelings of love for him. The play finished ahead of many other flashy, lavishly set plays because of the gut emotional sympathy Gerkin elicited as a man with no control over his life. Thus, Pekin proved that the best play isn’t necessarily the most elaborate one. A few well designed platforms and true emotions are still recognized as good drama. Charlie’s doctors, seniors John Knight and Richard Taylor, read over one of the many progress reports Charlie writes while his tape recorded voice is heard. For the first time since 1977, the contest play went to IHSA State Competition, where it received fifth place. Ryan Gerkin was also honored at State by being named a member of the all-State Cast, an honor comparable to being named a member of an All-State sports team. “Flowers for Algernon,” a one-act play directed by Glenn E. Smith and Larry Truckenmiller, is the story of a retarded man, Charlie Gordon (Gerkin), who becomes brilliant as a result of an operation designed to increase his I.Q. However, the brilliant man recognizes all the cruelties of the world that he had been blissfully ignorant of while retarded. The theme of the play relates to how uncaring man can be for his fellow man, especially if his fellow man is intellectually beneath him. This aspect of the play is 26 Contest Play D'l.t ‘'HR his stage crew how to build the set for the fall plav i' cal director I 1 ruckenmiller.

Shelley Strassc m Stauffer hl making a platform for the contest play Behind the “scenes” last line is read, the curtain calls are taken and the director breathes a sigh of relief. The play is over, and the actors can forget their lines. Backstage the parents and friends of the actors hug and kiss; everyone is excited. The audience sees the play as glamorous. Does anyone ever think of what goes on besides learning lines and fitting costumes? Along side of the actors are a few who do. They are the stage crew. Crew can be a thankless job. Few realize that long before the curtain is pulled to the side and lights flood the stage, a lot more than learning lines goes on. An entire set must be built and lighting must be planned. All this does not appear magically; it has to be constructed by the stage crew. Construction usually begins about a month in advance of the play. Designing and supervision of the set is done by Mr. Larry Truckenmiller, who has been in charge of the stage for eight years. Crew works on three major sets during the year; fall play, spring play, and contest play. The crew also helps with any performances that are held in the theatre. By far the most enjoyable set to work on is contest play. The contest play set must be made mobile because it must travel with the actors to the schools where the contests are held. “I like contest play best because the designing is the most challenging, comments Mr. Truckenmiller, “Also with contest play, the crews get more excited because of the competitive nature. Working on crew can be a great experience. Students who work on the crews learn some basic skills of stage craft. Junior Jim Stauffer says, “I didn’t know what went into constructing a set when I started, but by the time I was through helping with one I knew quite a bit, maybe even more than I wanted to.” Although the crew docs not always get the recognition that they should, the job is still rewarding and fun. After the work is all done and they can sit and enjoy the play, they know their work was worthwhile. Drama Portfolio 27 Ready to enlist: Rob Davis. Dale Little.

From Homecoming to Student Council week. Council kept busy keeping the students busy. The year started with the annual Student Council-Faculty Picnic. While some members babysat with faculty children, the rest took part in the softball game against the teachers with the teachers coming out on top again. The first student activity to test out Council efforts in reaching more students was the Back-to-School dance. For the first time, a live band played. Approximately 500 students attended, dancing to the music of PEGR. Shar Hillman said after the dance, “We did it!” Change characterized Homecoming. Despite much student complaint, it was successful. Class skits and coronation took place on Thursday evening with the senior class “Joel Cool”: Joel Steinfeldt struts his stuff on Crazy Day during Student Council Week taking the honors. Friday night events took place in the stadium. Seniors won class competition while juniors took the spirit stick for the pep rally. The cheerleaders led the crowd to the paper bonfire. Despite the complaints about having paper only, the bonfire helped to raise spirit. Events began early on Saturday with the parade. The Senior float highlighted the parade, centering around the theme of “Rainbow’s End. Perhaps the biggest change was the football game held in the afternoon. The Homecoming Dance topped off a very successful weekend. Council held many fundraisers for various charities. Beich candy bars brought in $500 for the Crisis Center for abused children. The rainbow collection of magnets, coasters, placemats, and write-on-wipe-off memo boards raised $1180 to benefit TAPS animal shelter. Council also collected $225 in canisters for muscular Dystrophy.

More than 1,500 cans of food were collected, boxed, and distributed to needy families by student council members. Giving prevailed again through candy grams which were sold for 50c on December 16. Class decorating honors were taken by Mrs. Janet Pavlon’s first hour on East Campus and Mrs. Karen Preis on West Campus. The Christmas dance closed the Christmas activities. The computer dating tradition was continued with results being sold for the 1.50. Students had 75 names to be matched up with a “perfect date” by computer.

The perfect ending to a perfect year was Student Council Week. College Prep day brought involved student participation. On Sports and Sweats day, baseball and foot-ball uniforms dotted classrooms and halls. Military day brought out parents’ old army clothes, navy uniforms, and fatigue outfits. On Crazy day, the crazys came out. Ann Weindel, Diane Krause, and Vonda Fuelberth dressed like crayons. There were flashers, Klu Klux Klansmcn, punk rockers, and even a busy bee (Mrs. Mary Lou Friedrich, East campus media clerk). Besides being Surfs Up day, Friday saw campaigning and the election of new student council officers. John Klein became West campus president, Pete Kelley will take over the East Campus job, and Ron Oliver was elected to the Inter-campus position. Results were announced that night at the Election dance along with the public announcement of Dragon Mascots names: Tom Bresnahan, Carl Heltzel, Julie Mudd, and Ginger Rowden. At the end of the year, an Honors Hall was compiled to recognize students graduating with a perfect grade point average. This year may be termed “successful,” just as many other years arc. “Never have I seen this much participation for student council events,” commented Mr. James Fair-child, student council advisor.

Student Council 33 Choir 120 strong Need a change of pace from the same old everyday classes most students attend? Why not try Concert Choir to give your daily schedule a little life. “It's a fun class, comments senior Mark Wilder, “even though you’re working. Choir still is like a relaxation.” But that relaxation can be a bit hectic at times. When a performance draws near, Mr. Don Valente, director of the 122 member choir, has to keep everything under control. One of the choir's big performances that requires a lot of organization and work is Christmas Vespers, a touching performance that is held every year. During the first half. Choir performs a number of selected tunes in their robes on a set of risers, but the second half holds a little surprise for audience members who are new to the Vespers tradition. Walking down the aisles with lighted candles, each member sings beautiful Christmas carols as “Silent Night and “Oh Holy Night. Also, Concert Choir alumni join in with the Choir to sing the “Hallelujah Chorus. Mr. Valente says, I feel that Christmas Vespers had to be their outstanding performance. Along with this fine performance, the choir also sings at many other events such as the Evening of Music, Baccalaureate, Graduation, and this year they traveled to Chicago for the Music Maestro to bring back the outstanding award. At all of these, the choir works as a unit to make the most of each of their voices to make each section sound complete. “I didn’t see Mr. Valente as a professional until I saw what the other choirs looked like when they performed. says senior member Kelly Griffin. Kelly and other members might attribute this to Mr. Valente’s strict appearance code. Male members must wear dress pants and black shoes while girls are attired in black closed shoes, suntan hose, and usually a dress or skirt out fit. Also, girls must wear make-up and their hair out of their face. Fingernail polish, jewelry, and ribbons are not allowed as the group’s uniform look might be destroyed. It appears as if the audience likes what they see and hear! Accordingly, Mr. Valente intends to keep teaching a wide variety of music next year to maintain this good relationship. Valente comments, “I feel the audience and choir are pleased with our music. Pleasing the audience is what making music is all about! People who attended the choir's Spring Concert were more than pleased; they were overwhelmed. The large number of members, along with their fine singing quality added up to a splendid performance. The highlight of the evening came when this year’s winner of the Choral Award was announced. The award, based upon service, leadership, co-operation and dedication to the choir was earned this year by Julie Wolfe, certainly deserving of the recognition. As a member of chorus and choir for 4 years and a member Noteables for 3 years, Julie fills all of the criteria for a choral award winner. Along with the award plaques and certificates were handed out to accompanists and senior members who will have to hand over their robes to another member for next year. This member could be you if you can carry a tune, sight read from a sheet of music, and aren’t afraid of auditioning in front of a very picky director. But then he has to be fussy over those he selects to help carry on the tradition of such a fine choir. As a class Concert Choir is not the same as others because tests and homework are nonexistent (which is very pleasing to many members). A lot of work and dedication go into being a member. As member Mark Wilder puts it, “It gives you a chance to get away from the academics for an hour. 34 Music Portfolio Music Sophomore Choir. Left to Right. Front Row: K Rohe. B Terry. R Hudson.

Under the direction of Daniel Gannon, Jeff Schumm, and Gordon Herron, PCHS Band performs at not only sporting events, but also parades and contests. Sometimes during the football games they not only accompany the Pom Pon girls, but also lead the crowd in the National Anthem and the school song. Baccalaureate and commencement are yet another time the band appears. During pep assemblies and President Ford's visit here were still more events for which the band performed. The band competed in the Normal ISU Competition, the University of Illinois Competition, and The Tropicana Competition held in Metamora. They also competed in an organization contest. The Dixieland played at various activities in the Pekin area, and got paid for it too!! Senior Wendy Bedale received the 1983 Louis Armstrong Award, and Senior Gordon Herron received the John Philip Sousa Award. Director Dan Gannon who has been with the band for seven years commented, “This bunch of kids has kept the best positive attitude all year around.” To raise funds members sold plants door to door.

But success doesn’t always come easy. Adding 19 new performers to a 32 member group that thrives on uniformity is not an easy task, but Director Don Valente knows how to work miracles, and he certainly came through this time. The Noteables’ first performance of the year at the Miss Marigold Pageant was as polished as it always is. One would never know that this was somewhat of a rebuilding year for the group. Besides new members, there were also auditions in the band section. A new synthesizer provided a nice fullness in the accompaniment which already included a piano, 2 trumpets, trombone, drums, bass and rhythm guitar. A feature band number also helped spotlight an excellent band tnat deserved much more recognition. Mr. Valente also added new songs, different from the ones audiences are used to hearing from a swing choir. Popular dance songs such as “Freeze-Frame and “We Got The Beat’’ as well as easy listening songs like “Hard For Me To Say I’m Sorry’’ and “September Morn” were just a few of the new additions to the group’s song list. Other favorites such as a Country and Broadway Medley also added a bit of variety to their performances. But the group doesn't just sing, as any audience member will point out. Sue Venturi, choreographer for the Noteables, has a natural flair for original dance moves. The song “Magic Night’’ proved this with its flowing arm movements that really brought the song to life on stage. As Mr. Valente puts it, “We are a singing group that dances.’’ Ana sing and dance they did. At the Music Maestro competition held in Chicago, the Noteables got an Outstanding Award for their performance, which was the highest rating given to any high school group that day, and a 5th place finish at the Watseka competition is also on the group’s list of achievements. In addition to attending competitions at other schools, the Noteables held their own competition here at PCHS. The first Swing Choir Competition at PCHS was a tremendous success and Mr. Valente plans to make the event an annual affair. Among other annual affairs, the Noteables also held their yearly Christmas Dinner at the Elks Club which was, of course, entertaining to all who attended. Entertaining people takes a lot of hard work and can be accompanied by a couple of frustrating moments as well. Trying to sing and keep smiling as CB messages come through the sound system during a performance is not too fun nor is falling during a dance solo or forgetting the words to a song when the spotlight is on you, as members will be quick to admit. But the hard work of the student members is what makes the group such a success. Without pride, enthusiasm, and dedication, the Noteables would not be a group at all, but instead a bunch of individuals who happen to like to sing and dance, but the public need not worry, with Mr. Valente as Director, the group will always carry the name of PCHS with honor and show people around the state and countryside just how much talent this town has to offer.

Doyle and Wood Go to Nationals Again: Speech .A ftcr months of grueling practice sessions, endless hours of travel, and countless hours of performance times, the speech team has managed to retain its reputation as one of the top forensic schools in the state. The team started the year in October when it traveled to ISU. The team managed to place fifteen events in semifinals rounds with six of those placing in finals.

Freshman Penny Petrow took the championship position in Novice Declamation as well as third place in novice Humorous Intcrpreation (HI). The team’s next accomplishment was a second place overall finish at the Richwoods Invitational. Here Knight captured first place in verse reading while 8 others placed in the top 6 of their respective events. The fearless squad braved the winter weather to travel to Thornridgc High School near Chicago. Once again Knight finished first in verse along with Doyle in extemp.

Suddenly the lights go down, and an actress starts saying lines to you. You have never heard of the play; you don't know the lines. Suddenly you are alone again, and the audience expects a sililoquy. Sound like a nightmare? It’s the plot of “An Actor’s Nightmare, the Group Interpretation directed by Fred Vogt. For the first time ever, Pekin's G.l. advanced to state competition and received sixth place. Senior John Knight was named to the all-state cast, one of only five people selected by four of the five judges as an outstanding interpreter. Along with Knight, freshman Penny Petrow was named to the all-district and all-sectional casts. Knight portrayed George Spelvin, a man who dreams that he is placed in four different plays that he had never rehearsed. After Gina Heussner, Penny Petrow, and Terry Bonnette act out parts from Private Lives and Hamlet. Spelvin is left to 6th deliver a sililoquy, which he mentally assembles with famous lines borrowed from many different plays. He then finds himself in a garbage can in a take-off of “modern drama, and then is executed in A Man for All Seasons. The cast never failed to produce laughter, from Knight’s confusion to the other’s anger at him not knowing the proper lines. This marks a trend of humor in an event that used to be associated with choral poetry reading. U Group Interpretation At the Chateau the group was entertainment for the NFL banquet.

Vssisting CHIPPS (Committee for Historic Preservation of Pekin) with cleaning and standing watch during the historical homes tours, is just one of the many tasks of Key Club this past year. Key Club, a high school service organization founded in 1925, provides voluntary service in the high school, and community where Key Club members reside. Pekin's Club was established in 1977. Currently, there are many clubs all over the world including: the United States, Canada, Bahamas, Jamaica, Netherlands, Antilles, Mexico, Trinidad, Tobago, Grand Cayman Islands, and Puerto Rico. The K-family of which Key Club is a part, also includes Kiwanis (adult businessmen). Circle K (college students), and Builders Clubs (junior high students). As of this year, there were over 3,400 Key Clubs with over 105,000 members. Pekin High Key Club is one of the smaller clubs in the area, with seventeen members. Officers of this year's Key Club were President Peg Phillips, Vice-President Sheila Miller, Treasurer Jade Bilyeu, Secretary Kelly Murphy, Activities Secretary Gidget Bohannan, and Press Secretaries Chip Lutz and Yvette Madden. 1982-83 Key Club members were Becky Brajkovich, Amy Durchholtz, M ike English, Karla Fahnestock, Carl Frazier, Steve Hayden, Debbie Hendricks, Shawna Knoll, Cheryl Reescr, and Dan Sims. Although Key Club is small in numbers, its success can be measured by the many activities its members have participated in. Among the list were the annual events such as selling cheese with the Kiwanis, entering a float in the Homecoming parade (won second place this year), and helping at the Neighborhood House during the Christmas season, repairing toys for needy families. Helping the financial state of things in these rough times; members collected over $460 for Muscular Dystrophy, helped in the paper drive for Channel 47, participated in the Walk for Mankind, held a fundraiser for Spastic Paralysis, sold balloons at the Homecoming game, and calendars and candy all through the year. Members also involved themselves with other activities such as helping at the Pekin Convalescent Center on Bingo nights and with the adoptive Grandparent program, planted marigolds in the park, and held a party for retarded children at Schramm School. They helped regularly with cleaning TAPS on Saturdays, gave free doughnuts to teachers on Teacher Appreciation Day, assisted in a uirl Scout survey, sent representatives to a convention at the Chicago Hilton and the Hollywood Diplomat in Florida, and participated in the International Service Day, May 7, 1983. Key Club is not only an important part of Pekin High, but also of the community. Our Key Club is not very large in membership, but the members haven’t let that slow down their hard work or caring. They stuck with us when the going got rough,” commented Peg Phillips. 46 Key Club Red Cross serves but finds benefits Helping people is what the Red Cross Club is all about. Whether welcoming foreign exchange students at a picnic, visiting senior citizens at a Hallmark Nursing Home, or adopting a Korean foster child, the spirit of giving is always there. Despite the economic strain, $150.00 more than last year was raised for a total of $660.00, according to Mrs. Marge Smalley. Mr. Roger Friedman’s first hour (PAVC) collected the most money ($51.13) and received a trophy for their efforts. Pekin High Red Cross Club also increased their membership. The club met twice a month with Gayle Retzer presiding as president and Carol Wilcox as vice-president. The club is active year round. In the fall they hosted a weiner roast for the foreign exchange students. Dirk Wriedt, a foreign exchange student from Germany felt that the Red Cross Club was “helpful and very friendly.” At Halloween they partied with the senior citizens in costume at the U.A.W. High Rise. At the Hallmark Nursing Home they caroled at Christmas time. “It made us (the club) feel needed,” said Carol Wilcox. She added, “they (the nursing home residents) appreciated it; they listened to us sing.” In February, they went to the hospital with balloons to see the children and extended care patients. The club also took a Red Cross course and sponsored the bloodmobile visit at East Campus in the spring. Pekin High School’s Red Cross Club had a very active year in 1983.

B, They Learned by Doing Pusy, busy, busy! That is the best way to describe the 1982-83 French Club. Sponsoring their own Cabaret to honor French Honor students took hours of planning, organizing and preparing. Three new students were initiated into the French Honor Society Saturday, May 21, at the Cabaret, a night of awards, singing and dancing. Along with the French Honor Awards, there were awards given for a nationally written exam. Western Illinois contest, and classroom awards for French Club. The evening also offered a string ensemble, a mime, a chorus of singers, a skit, and can-can dancers. This is the second year for the Cabaret and Honors night. The French Club was especially busy during the fall. They attended an outing to Evergreen Lake in Bloomington, had a Crepe party and a birthday party for Martha Canesco-Bennett, an AFS student from Mexico. Along with the club’s activities, they also were busy with fund raisers. This year’s major fund rail was selling two-year plan calenders. This money fun the club for all its activities.

Sponsored by Mrs. Henrietta Davis and Miss Judy Streid, this club has not only provided students with fun-filled education, but it has donated much time and effort to improving the study of classics and the betterment of PCHS. “What's Latin Club selling now?” became a familiar phrase in the hallways. Latin students were busy with several fund raisers. Last August the club held a very successful carwash. They have also sold candy, calendars, and buttons. One hundred dollars of this money was donated to the PCHS Scholarship Fund. Apart from this the club hosted a Christmas party to which all foreign language students were invited; it hosted a picnic for the exchange students; and it hosted the Illinois Junior Classical League state convention in November. The club also attended the Heart of Illinois Foreign Language Dinner where it provided entertainment with Latin songs and the humorous play Rinse the Blood Off My Toga. As a reward for the hard work they had put in, Latin students attended the traditional Roman banquet at the Holiday Inn. Fathers of the students were invited as special guests. Mr. Barcio, the nationally known speaker and owner of Pom-piana Inc., addressed the guests as a wealthy Roman from Pompeii. Mr. Wayne Carmichael was voted best-dressed father. Pekin played a key role in forming the Illinois Classical Conference State Honor Society. To be a member of this society students must show superior academic success in Latin as well as other classes. 1983 initiates arc: Robin Lovelace and Diane Vogelsang, 4th year; Belinda Richmond and Melissa Thompson, 3rd year; Jennifer Wagner, Dawn Pilkington, Mark LaRusso, Jon Gouliard, Scott Fenwick.

In September, members got together for Bratwurst in Mineral Springs Park. Friends and other students supported a club fund raising project in November, buying the traditional advent calendars. In December, members performed a skit entitled “Christmas in the Twilight Zone” at the annual international party. German club sponsored a Faschings party, similar to the French Mardi Gras, and invited the other languages for an evening of pizza and entertainment. Tom Crawford and Wendy Bcdalc were chosen king and queen by ballot. Ribbons were awarded for the best costumes. German classes were among the language groups from Pekin attending the Foreign Language Festival at Western Illinois University in Macomb on April 9. Freshman quiz bowl of Karen Guttriage, Craig Dill, Ted Bryan, and David Andrae won first place. Larry Porter, Steve Tribble, Cheryl Maki, Candy Green, Jill Wright, and Holly Sullivan took first place in freshman talent with their modern version of Hansel and Gretel. Peggy Taylor, Peggy Phillips, Lisa Parker, and Bill Comstock took first place in sophomore quiz bowl. Denise Lohrenz, Christy Reichert, and Ellen Andrae had a double bill. Not only did they take third place in Level 3 quiz bowl, but they also took first place in talent with “Denise spielt Lehrerin.” In Level 4 quiz bowl, Wendy Bedale, Tina Raker, Steve Booker, and Kris Bode won third place with their skit “Bcim Zahnarzt.” The Pekin Chapter of Delta Epsilon Phi initiated Peggy Phillips, Beth Krile, Lisa Parker, and Chris Heaton into their German National Honor Society in May. In order to become members, students must fulfill the requirements of a 3.0 overall grade point average in German courses and plan to continue their study of German. Peggy Taylor met the society’s requirements but missed the initiation due to poison ivy. The initiates performed a short play, highlighting the occasion. Awards were given to outstanding sophomore Beth Krile, junior Geoffry Franks, and seniors Wendy Bedale and Diane Cascia. Also in May, German classes participated in an International Foreign Language Fair involving passports, food, souveniers, and currency exchanges. They performed a skit entitled “Hier ist das Huas, das Hans gebaut hat,” a takeoff of “Here is the house that Jack built.” Advisor to the German club and honor society is Mrs. Helen Hickersberger.

German Club 53 r Spanish Club Stresses Meaning in Hispanic Culture i ll foreign languages are useful, and Spanish is no exception. Proving beneficial to English class, it can help a student to understand pronouns and other such parts of speech better. The Spanish teachers try to present Spanish in a way that not only interests the students but also helps them to understand the language. His Spanish teachers' efforts will be a definite aid for Tom Crawford who won a trip to Mexico this year through Spanish Honor Society. Tom competed with 50 other students in the nation. He was required to write a report, in English, about Spanish history, geography, and culture. In Spanish he had to write why he wanted to go to Mexico. He also had a taped interview with Mrs. Barbara Poison, a Spanish teacher at PCHS. Tom will go to Mexico for five days, then he's off to Acapulco and Taxco for three days before he returns to Pekin. Beginning a busy year was the election of Spanish club officers as follows: President Margo Smith, Vice President Kelly Wise, and Treasurer Cheryl Hendricks. The second item on the agenda was the selling of Beich candy to raise money for a trip to Peoria to dine at a Mexican restaurant. The main event this year was the Foreign Language Fair, held in the West campus gymnasium. Each language club decorated a wall in the gym to create a different country. To enter the fair, each person had to carry a passport from his respective country. Many of the participants dressed according to their particular country. Students also bring one dish of food from their country, and help make a pinata. This year the Spanish Club chose a walk-in entry in the Marigold Parade. Their theme was “De Colores,” which means many colors. Later in the year the Spanish club took another trip to Peoria, this time visiting a Peoria school and watching Spanish folk dancing. Those students who excel academically with an A in Spanish and a B average overall, who have taken Spanish for four semesters, and are planning on continuing in another Spanish class are eligible for Spanish National Honor Society. This year Kelly Wise and Patrick Taphorn were inducted into the society. 54 Spanish Club v Hmmmm. Pondering for a moment in the Spanish Club skit.

Brown belt instructor Kelly Hundemcr tests this discipline and endurance bv having Dirk Wrcidt and other club members freeze in position upon finishing their techniques while she checks their stance. Teaching requires concentration. Instructors and assistants clear their minds in Japanese style before beginning practice Quick thinking is helpful in Karate.

Greg Jennings uses his side thrust kick while sparring. Perfection of character is the ultimate aim of Karate. Pansy Goetze and other club members practice their reverse punch technique. V 56 Karate Club Karate — Not just any club U I J odan! ... Oss!” To an average person casually passing the PCHS Karate Club “dojo” (practice area) on a given Tuesday or Thursday evening after school, these words may sound more like an excerpt of savagely garbled barbarisms from “Planet of the Apes, rather than courteous Japanese mannerisms characteristic of karate. “Contrary to what some people may believe, we are not teaching violence,” said chief instructor Mr. Rick Brewer. “Actually, we encourage the avoidance of violence. We strive to promote the quality character traits of our students through the humility, courtesy, discipline, and spirit required to practice Japanese Shotokan Karate.” Students demonstrate their respect by bowing formally and bellowing the word “Oss!“ whenever entering and leaving the dojo, greeting fellow students, or as a salute in reply to an instructor. Karate students always refer to their instructors as “Sensei” (pronounced Sensay) and to each other by their surname with the addition of san afterwards. Progressing in belt level demands a great deal of dedication, as it requires 3-5 years of year-round training to work one’s way up through white, yellow, red, blue, green, the 2 degrees of purple, and 3 degrees of brown belts, taking tests for each one to finally earn a black belt. Since it is the only high school karate club in the state, members of the PCHS Karate Club must travel to the Central Illinois Karate Association in Bloomington on periodic Saturdays to be tested by a board of 6 to 8 black belt judges. Students are evaluated on their basic karate techniques, a formal exercise of pre-arranged karate movements in a series called a “kata,” their practical application of skills in sparring, and most importantly their attitude. With its membership unrestricted to high school students the club has had its share of successes. Potential high school drop outs have “stuck it out” because of the program; handicapped persons nave developed confidence and self-worth; a 43 year old administrator quit a 20 year old smoking habit, lost weight, became a brown belt, and found new pride in himself; a teacher intimidated by “rough neck” students regained confidence and classroom control; parole officers have consulted the club on several occasions because delinquent students respect karate instructors more than other teachers; an obese teen lost 40 lbs. with the hard physical training and self confidence; Vietnamese and Laotian refugees’ adjustment to a strange new land was eased as they could identify with the martial arts; and, with violence on the uprise in the modern world, worrisome parents sleep easier at night with the comfort of the knowldge, that if forced to. their daughter could protect herself. PCHS Karate Club prides itself in the fact that it is not just another high school club, but is more of a community service, as its doors are open to anyone with a genuine desire or need to learn karate.

Chris Boerger and Denise Watson. Caring and sharing moral and religious insights starts the day off positively say Agape Force members. They add that it’s a contrast to the frequently negative experiences occuring at other times of the day. FCA, Agape Force, Campus Life Reaching out with religion We know nothing of tomorrow; our business is to be good and happy today!”, writes an author in Lady Holland. This philosophy is generally accepted by all, but Campus Life, Agape Force, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes go beyond, reaching out to share their faith. The two groups. Agape Force and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, joined together this year in hopes of increasing the attendance at their weekly meetings. “It’s a great way to start out the day!” is the most repeated reason students give for attending meetings on early Wednesday mornings (7:45 to 8:15 a.m.) when they share their Christian faith. To make the meetings more interesting, the format shifted from just a Bible study group to discussion of Bible and the examination of everyday life. Campus Life is just a little different than the other two. The group’s meetings were held every Tuesday evening at different homes. “It was basically a good time fellowship,” says everyone. Their meetings would begin in a more relaxed manner. First, they would talk, play games, and tell jokes just waiting for everyone to show up. After that they would have a short meeting, talk about different opinions involving the Bible and personal experiences. Approximately 7-15 people would attend the meetings which are open to all students. A member of the Christian Athletes, Chris Boerger, attends because “I wanted to reach out with other people on campus about the Bible.” Agape Force and Fellowship of Christian Athletes was headed by Marshall Stoner, P.E. department chairman at PCHS, and Doug Keasel, pastor at Pekin Bible Church. Campus Life was led by Jim Fierera and Randy Hochstetler, volunteers from the Peoria area. The groups were involved in the Prom Alternative Night on May 13. This event was for students who did not attend the PCHS prom. It was an all-night party which began with a meal and program and wound up with a swim at the Eureka gym. They also participated in activities as hiking, sledding, and caroling throughout the year. V. 58 Religious Clubs HERO Is... More than just a sandwich “Wi„ this club please come to order ’ This is a statement that is heard a lot at the Pekin Area Vocational Center. With just about every class at the center sponsoring a club of some kind, a student who enrolls in a Vocational class has a good chance of becoming active in the class’ club. These clubs have an annual fund raiser where they sell things from calendars to freshly baked cinnamon rolls. These clubs include D.E.C.A. — which stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America, the club for Distributive Education under the advice of Pam Gasper. Their major project was the donation of 350 pounds of dog food toTAPS. F.F.A. — (Future Farmers of America) includes Ag. Mechanics, Ornamental Horticulture, and Ag. Science areas. These club members raised hogs for whole hog sausage, and also made and sold Christmas wreaths. Their advisor is Richard Ronna. I.O.E.A. (Illinois Office Education Association) with advisor Carolyn Godby held a rock-a-thon to benefit Midstate Special Olympics. These students are enrolled in the Office Occupations class. Another club is F.H.A. — (Future Homemakers of Amer- ica — Home Economics Related Occupations) involving classes in Home Economic Occupations, Child Care, Fashion-Interior Design, and Food Service. The F.H.A.-HEROchapters organized alumni groups, had a style show, made hot lips pillows and had a bake sale. Students in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America from Diversified Occupations and Work Experience sold citrus fruit and fruit baskets. The students, under the supervision of Charles Lauss and Roger Gibbens, also donated to the Spring-field Memorial Burn Center. The food club organized a simulated restaurant for faculty and staff members. Rick Taylor prepares a salad that will feed 160 people. No clowning around with the F.H.A.-HERO childcare float in the annual Homecoming parade, although it proved to be fun for all involved. F.F.A. was makin' bacon in more ways than one. Eric Varney was one of three members who participated in a year-long project caring for piglets. The piglets were used to make whole-hog sausage, a fund raiser for the club J PA VC Clubs 59 Publishing spurs Creative writers Expressing thoughts and feelings in a poem or short story are ways a creative writer reaches the inner knowledge he has of the world and his surroundings. PCHS has a multitude of creative writers, and every year the Creative Writing Club compiles all of these in the annual issue of Dragon Prints. With eighteen members first semester and fifteen second semester, the Creative Writing Club had one of its busiest years. In addition to Dragon Prints, the club sponsored the first inter-campus writing contest, attracting over one hundred entries in poetry and short stories categories. Christy Reichert won first place in poetry; Francinc kohnen took first in the short story area. Individual plaques were given to the first, second, and third places, and a permanent plaque with the names of the first place winners engraved on it was erected. In addition to the school contest, Creative Writing Club sent entries to the Peoria Journal Star Contest. Kim Gouliard won the poetry category. Francine Kohnen received an honorable mention for her short story as did Sandy Murry, Nancy Uphoff, and JoEllcn Lamb for their plays. This year’s editors were Francine Kohnen and Karen Kelly. Club advisor is Gordon Petry, who also teaches creative writing class.

Dudley Roach and Mr. Darhl Brown go skyward to situate a house. Join the club; Save wood ducks conspicuous part of the hunting and fishing club was building of 50 wood duck houses. The club placed the duck houses in wildlife areas in and around Tazewell County. The ducks breed in these houses to keep the balance of nature for the next hunting season. Another highlight of the hunting and fishing club’s year was the art contest. The club members used pointilism, carvings, drawings, and many other ways to create a picturesque mood for any sportsman. Winners of the art contest were Dave Kesselmayer for a pointilism and Lance Irving for a carving of Rudding Ducks. Other activities of the club were a field trip to Marshall County and the Illinois Department of Conservation, a field trip to Sandrige Hatchery, and a duck identification contest. Hunting and Fishing club is sponsored by Mr. Dave Evans (west) and Mr. Darhl Brown (west). The club members pay a 500 annual fee for many activities. Members can learn about conservation, waterfowl, rodents and many other small game. They also can learn the different hunting and fishing seasons and what game is available for any given seasons. Hunting and Fishing Club 63 What’s the Swedish word for rubber? Misunderstandings exist for exchange students JL ou are suddenly in a strange and unknown country from which you only know stereotypes, like “all people drink Coke and drive big cars.” Although you know that they are only stereotypes, unconsciously you still judge the people after your own cultural background and with these stereotypes. An example is that I thought most Americans were really rich because a family had at least two cars. The average German family has one small car, very seldom two. But stereotypes or not, you are here and you have to face it. You have to adapt to your new family and your new school. Getting used to your family is relatively easy because families are great in Pekin, but school is another story. “You are tardy!!!' What did I do wrong? What happened? And what does tardy mean? After I got my dictionary out, I saw a lot clearer. I was a little bit late, but not even three minutes. So what, who is interested in tardies? In Germany we don’t care too much about being late to class because we stay in the same room the whole day long and if the teacher doesn’t get through the material, we have to stay longer in class during the five or twenty minute break between each class. Other things are different too, like carrying purses or putting make-up on. Elisabeth Drakenby from Sweden and Kirsi Valpasvuo from Finland stated, “Almost nobody does it.” School dances here are very different since they are over so early. All exchange students agree that this is pretty odd compared to what we are used to dances ending at two or three in the morning. So far it seems that being an exchange student is rather Almost everywhere foreign exchange students go, they are invariably asked, “What’s your country like?” Elisabeth Drakenby, Sweden, once again talks about her home for the Latin Club Christmas party. depressing. In reality, that is not true. We have a lot of fun when we have made some friends just like everybody else. We cruise Main Street, see movies, visit friends, join clubs and so on. 1 don’t have to explain that to you because you do these things all the time. But we have fun, too, by doing things that should be a handicap like the proper use of English or by experiencing things. For example, Elisabeth was at an exchange student meeting. She had to write something but made a mistake. Asking for a rubber (eraser) she earned a big laugh because you don't erase anything with a rubber, of course. But what if you didn't know? Henry Sempere especially appreciated his new school schedule. In Spain he had school from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and then from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., never getting home before 7 p.m. He, too, likes tl you have the opportunity to: out in so many different spor a chance they don’t have Spain because they only hi private clubs and teams.

Marta Canseco gives a speech in American Government class. Drugs, Alcohol — Toma Tells All “T It ain’t worth it, not for a moment of pleasure!!” screamed ex-drug addict, David Toma. On Thursday, November 9, Toma gave a three hour speech aimed at clarifying the actual dangers of drugs and alcohol, to more than 6,000 area students packed in the East Campus Gymnasium. Toma told students of the rough life he has led — of growing up in the slums of Newark, N.J., of turning to the life of a police officer, of taking drugs after his son died in his arms and of his current quest of turning young people away from drugs and alcohol. In his rough language, Toma cited dozens of incidents — some personal, some told to him by students he has met — of young people who have destroyed their bodies and ruined their lives with drugs and alcohol. Stressing the effect of a drug which Toma said most young people do not believe is harmful, he said the drug that caused his nephew to spend his life in a padded room is marijuana. “Before you light that joint, you think about this,” Toma said, “There are 90 different chemicals in that joint and after it is lighted, there arc 421 different poisons in it.” Besides those 421 different chemicals, Toma said drug pushers will put other chemicals in that joint a marijuana cigarette without letting a buyer know. After someone gets bad chemicals or is down on life because of drugs, Toma said that person is alone. “Baby, when you’re in trouble, you're by yourself,” he said. “They (drug dealers) don’t care about you. It’s a game.” Although Toma only stayed two days in Pekin giving speeches, lectures, and advice (November 9-10), his influence hit people hard with facts they will remember long after his visit, according to Barbera Zobeck of the Tazewood Center for Human Services, Inc. “Toma used the scare tactic which no one has used on the kids for many years. He used the purely emotional approach.” Not all of the students in the community were affected in the same way by Toma and his anti-drug speeches. Gail Burlingame said, “I think Toma was very effective. I’ve already seen a change in many students.” Most of the students responded with positive attitudes toward David Toma and the Pekin HOPE (Help Open People’s Eyes) Project. Another student said, “I quit smoking pot before Toma came, but if I hadn't quit, I would have after hearing Toma!” On the other hand, there were some students who think it was a waste of time. One stu- dent’s comment was, “I skipped out of the Toma assembly to get high.” Then there were students„ who thought Toma was good, 1 but not enough to stop them from drugs or alcohol. “I learn- 1 ed a lot and thought Toma really knew what he was talking about, but I don't want to quit,” several students commented. Although many community parents knew there was some kind of drug problem, one parent said, “I had an idea of the drug problem, but not of how young many of the drug users are.” Toma’s visit was made possible through the combined Jammed shoulder to shoulder, sitting six thousand strong on bleachers and carpeting the East gym floor, students stifled their traditional restlessness. 1 listening intently to Toma’s warnings Traci Butterfield, Henre Sempere anc Michelle Lee were among those front 1 and center to Toma. t 66 Toma HOPE efforts of many people. Reverend Glen loder explained, “It of many people. Reverend Glen loder explained, “It began by two basic channels coming together. Dr. Elliot and the Whole Health Consortium (a group of professional people helping people in the community) were concerned over students. So, we went to Dave Mingus of Tazwood (Center for Human Services, Inc.) ’ “We had listened to Toma in Washington, Illinois. The Whole Health Consortium approached us, and Dave contacted Toma,” added Linda Berberich also of Tazwood. According to loder, the first problem was “seeing if we could get Toma; it’s very difficult. Then there were the arrangements. We needed $10,000 for his speaking fee and transportation. We raised a lot of money during an Evening of Awareness.” An Evening of Awareness was just one of the many fundraising events of Project HOPE. A Buckathon, where Telling it LIKE IT IS, Dave Toma recounted the tragedies and despair of youth caught up in drug use. His language was NOT the Sunday School variety. various community residents rode a mechanical horse for a small donation, was also among the October pre-Toma activities. The Pekin Junior Women’s Club also raised money, along with several churches and other community groups and individuals. The total general overhead cost of Project HOPE was $20,000, proving their motto, “Our Kids Are Worth It.” Follow up programs of all kinds were set up by HOPE post-Toma. Barbara Zobec counseled students at West Campus Wednesday nights and Suzette Bowlaiz, every Monday evening from 3:30 to 5:00. The goal of the programs was to give students other alternatives to drugs and alcohol. Toma was a very strong influence to most of the community, but it was up to the students to make it work, proving that there’s still life at Pekin High. 'UX 9 Packed!

However, these two boys seem to have plenty of time and get first choice of a seat. ’57 Cbevys are hard to come by — especially in as good a condition as this one. The owner of the car, Chris Forbis, stands proudly in front of his prize possession. A bus ride could be a boring thing if there weren’t friends to share it with. These girls overcome their monotonous ride home with c inversation. 68 Transportation Movin’ on ... Bus rides and ’57 Chevys IVIom, can I borrow the car to drive to school?” That’s the question many students ask everyday. PCHS provides bus transportation for students who live more than a mile away from school, and students who buy a bus pass can ride the bus. However, having to wait for a bus in the rain, the snow, and just the early morning, is something many students complain about. “I think it is terrible to wait for the bus every morning!” says Jill Johnson. Students who don’t want or can’t ride the school buses have other ways of getting here: walking, driving, being dropped off and riding bicycles. Senior Shelley Strasser and Junior Laura Sobek even have their neighbor drop them off at school. Some students have relatives bring them to school. While just getting to school might be a problem for some students, others come to school in style. Volvos, Porsches, Fiats, and Mustangs make up some of the sportier cars on the school lot. Driving one of these sports cars does have some problems. “I have a lot of things to worry about when I drive my parents' ”66 Mustang convertible to school. Things like scratches, paint chippings, and other vandalism that could happen would probably get me grounded from driving!” says Paula Moehle. Senior Vicky Bartlett just has problems keeping her car running than worry about vandalism. Getting to school for early bird PE class can also be a problem to some students. Earlybird PE class meets before school at 7:20 everyday. “Have you ever tried to wake up your parents at 7:00 in the morning?” exclaimed Patt Rinkcnberger. Students who have early-bird PE eventually get used to the early hours. Shuttle buses transport students from one campus to another everyday. After school, shuttle buses from west to cast campuses are very overcrowded. Transportation, then, affects everyone almost everyday. Everyone’s heard the famous line by recounting mothers. “Walking to school once in a while won’t hurt you!” Most students don't take their mothers' advice however, judging by the number of cars parked in the lot. It's always nicer to jump in your car and drive! An actual count in the school parking lot has shown that American cars outnumber foreign cars. Fords, Chryslers, and General Motors cars outnumber the foreign cars by far. With all those cars in one parking lot and pulling in and leaving at the same time can get pretty messy. All kinds of cars going right and left eager to get home expecially on Fridays, can cause what is known as a major traffic jam. Fortunately, no major accident occurred this year. Does one realize the cost of keeping a car up, $5, $10, $15, a week for gas? Then, don’t forget the dead batteries, starters or carburetors that can increase the cost of repair and decrease the pocketbook. Despite all this, students still ask “Mom, can I borrow the car to drive to school today?” The watchful eyes of the bus driver dart from mirror to road as she begins her appointed route. Transportation 69 j£ove ctt t e s4£ten ia M. Part 1: Lust in the Afternoon Walkmg down the halls at East Campus can be quite an experience’ While the student handbook explicity states that “It is proper for students to keep their emotional urges under control and therefore, to refrain from showing a public display of affection, such as kissing, embracing, and physically assisting students in the halls. ’ this type of behavior can be observed every afternoon. Contrary to popular belief, this rule is enforced. Repeated offenders may end up in ISS. When asked about how he punishes those who publicly display their affections. Dean Flcisher jokingly commented, “We cut off their lips. Teachers and other students have a variety of attitudes towards this. The active participants are all for showing their love. Observers have expressed disgust, embarrassment, and indifference. Mrs. Betty Bower feels “Affection is something that needs to be a personal matter, not a public show. Mrs. Pat Knight says, “I told one couple that a public display of affection is tacky. The girl replied that it was cute. It is not cute.” One male senior feels very differently, as he said, “It’s nobody’s business but your own. If other people don’t like it, they can look the other way. While some believe that it is love in the afternoon, it is really lust in the afternoon. Part 2: Tune in Tomorrow Does Luke love Laura? Who shot J.R.? And just what is Phoebe planning next? “As sands through the hour glass, so are the Days of Our Lives M The slogan “Love in the Afternoon” has brought millions of viewers to ABC's afternoon soap operas. According to People magazine, “All My Children” and “General Hospital have more young American viewers than any other shows. Reasons vary for the popularity of the daytime dramas. Senior Kelly Griffin watches GH because, “There aren't any good shows on then.” Senior Shelley Strasser said that soaps offer “something to do while I eat lunch. How do students keep up with the events on the soaps during the school day? One way is from people who stay home all day. “When I come back from being sick, people always ask me what happened on the shows,” said senior Diane Vogelsang. Sue Block added. “I always watch my soaps when I stay home from school. The Weekender in the Peoria Journal Star provides a weekly summary of soaps. Christmas and Easter vacations are also prime times to watch a soap opera for a week and catch up. One unusual way to keep up on soaps was related by senior John Knight. He was Mr. Evans' assistant over the lunch hour, and Mrs. Evans had a television in his room. John’s friends asked him to watch Days of Our Lives and keep them informed. However students keep informed, soaps seem to keep students tuning in tomorrow. Hooked by both “All My Children” in the morning and “Dynasty” at night, Mr Don Valentc has this bumper sticker posted to the wall of his office. It echoes the reason that most people watch soap operas. Love in the Afternoon 71 Hating a little trouble with his boutonniere. Brad Greenwell asks friend Jill Johnson to assist him. Prom court.

On the average, girls spent SI20 and guys $125 to make the romantic evening possible on Saturday. May 14. Decked out in dress and tux, corsage and boutonniere pinned, and pictures taken, couples headed for some of Peoria’s finer restaurants such as the Chateau, Jumers, and the River Station. After an early dinner, they began arriving at the East Campus cafeteria to dance the night away from 9:00 to 11:45. Waltzing into their ballroom fantasy through pastel streamer-draped stairs, most promgoers agreed, was well worth the cost of tickets which increased $2.00 in price since last year. An estimated 700 people in attendance danced around the gazebo to Journey’s “Open Arms” and several other slow and hard rock songs performed by Tourist. Floor length dresses, some with hoops, were popular among the girls, but a few wore mini length dresses. White was prominent for tuxes as well as dresses. Taking a break from dancing, couples could sit and refresh themselves with punch and cookies or have their pictures taken by a Rembrandt photographer. Finally it was time to roll out the red carpet for coronation of prom royalty. 1983 prom court was Bob Gerecke, Dave Hill, Pat Hranka, Phil May, Dawn Fairchild, Jody Kleuver, Julie Johnston, and Kim Shcehy. Troy Guidotti and Lori Jacobson were crowned king and queen by 1982 king Dan Gor-sage and queen Suzy Leonardson. Dancing ended at 11:45 and couples left bound for one of two destinations — party or home. Decorations and funding for the prom were provided by junior class and M M sales. Glass wine carafes printed with the PCHS symbol and program booklets were among the mementos of the evening.

Prom 73 Baccalaureate tells seniors of their... Freedom to Be “A YU people have the talent to succeed” was the message delivered by Rev. Lyle Steinfeldt during Baccalaureate services held for the graduating seniors of 1983. Graduating seniors should not become discouraged or self critical of themselves if they arc initially frustrated from achieving their goals, says Steinfeldt, who is the pastor at Our Savior Lutheran Church. The orchestra, directed by Scott Johnson, led the program with a 20 minute prelude, which was followed by a solo organ prelude by Gayle Wallis. Senior Joe Wood was followed by Julie Wolfe, who led her fellow graduates in “God of Grace, God of Glory” and “How Great Thou Art.” After the Concert Choir sang, Joel Steinfeldt and Traci Urban read fro the Scriptures. A sermonette was given by Jelinda Pauley, and preceded the responsive readings delivered by Kristin Bode. The theme for the baccalaureate service was “Freedom to Be.” About 700 people attended the service which was held in the East Campus Gym. The mortarboard must be flat!

The first was to allow the audience to follow along as the 111th graduating class received their diploma covers at Memorial Stadium. The second use was to cover the heads of the people in the crowd of about 5,000 who forgot their umbrellas. A thundershower broke near the end of the first of the three addresses, sending umbrellas up from the crowd, cheers and pieces of paper and playing cards up from the graduates. “We asked for outside graduation and we got it,” senior John Knight said as he began his address to the graduates and the audience. His comment was met by cheers of approval from the class. Earlier in the week the administration reversed a previous decision to hold graduation exercises inside the East Campus gymnasium (see p. 79). The rain lasted only 10 minutes and the ceremony continued. “I think the people were excellent. I was amazed that they were willing to stay through it,” Dr. James Elliott said A light scattering of drops had started to fall immediately after the choir had sung “Somewhere Down the Road.” The drops sent some groans and movement through the crowd as some reached for their umbrellas. It was not until the first of the three speakers, Tom Klister, had reached the end of his speach that the shower broke out in full force. Earlier in his speech, Klister had told the audience that the class had learned the “Three R’s” during their years of schooling. Now, he said, the class was about to learn the “Three AY — ambition, application, and adaptation. Klister, speaking about ambition, said “Everything that happens to you after this day will happen to you because of your own ambition.” Knight, the second speaker, took up the second “A. and told the class, through the rain and commotion, that lofty standards should only be set if they are attainable. “When someone tells you to reach for the stars, make sure they are within your grasp,” Knight said. The final speaker, Tom Doyle, spoke about the last “A” — adaptation. “As we leave high school, we must constantly change to survive constantly change, like the weather tonight,” he said. Prior to the reading of the 560 names, the class gift was presented. It was a $500 check to Pekin HOPE, an organization started to combat drug and alcohol abuse. The senior counselors then read the names of all the graduates, who came forward to accept their diploma covers. Although the ceremony was not as dignified as it could have been, it will be something to remember for years to come.

Graduation 77 Number of Mid-Term Grads Last year 113 students graduated mid-term. This year 22 did. According to senior counselor Larry Spialck, midterm graduation has the same requirements as full-time graduation. The large difference from last year is explained by junior counselor John Emery. “The graduation requirements have gone up and arc more strict. A student now needs 18W units for 37 credits, as opposed to last year's requirements of 32 credits. After a student acquires th« needed credits, he must get i letter from Mr. Keller that say: he has legally graduated unde state's requirements. Diane Kamp and Rachelle Vick are two of this year's mid-term graduates. Diane got rood grades and took a couple of extra classes in the summer in order to finish high school mid-term. She is now attending nursing school. Diane said, I was glad to be able to graduate early because now 1 can get a head-start on college. Rachelle Vick said she was Down glad to “get out of Pekin early and start college also. Rachelle entered Western Illinois University in January. The number of mid-term graduates is a lot lower because the graduation requirements were raised a lot higher than last year's. Oh well, what goes up must bring something down. As the rains came down, playing cards, toilet paper, and soap bubbles came up from the graduation in celebration.

At first. Superintendent James Elliott and East Campus Principal Art Keller told the senior officers that they had the final decision as to the location of the exercises. However, the school's nine administrators unanimously agreed to hold an inside commencement, due to the questionable weather, a faltering sound system, additional security and clean up costs, and a smaller senior class Feeling betrayed, the of- is Poetic ficers wrote a letter to the editor of the Pekin Daily Times explaining the situation. They also circulated a petition with over 600 signatures asking the administration to reconsider their decision. Elliott was then quoted in the Times as saying that he felt that the seniors' commitment was serious enough to warrant a reconsideration of the com- Justice mcncement site Most seniors wondered why Dr. Elliott had ever doubted that fact in the first place.

Have those pictures been developed yet?” These were just a few of the umpteen questions rifled around the Publications room every day during sixth hour. At the head of this hysteria was Mrs. Betty Bower, teacher of Journalism and Publications advisor, who kept it at a controllable level “Lou Grant” style. Each Publications student worked on publishing the Pekinois, a monthly newspaper covering events and human interest items around the school, but focused on the year-long task of organizing the 304 page Pekinian under the theme “Still Life,” a pun with the intention of pointing out that there is still fife at Pekin High. Students were forced to act responsibly, for there is much at stake when operating as a small business. Ad sales were made during and after school through personal contacts with area businesses. Making contracts with the yearbook company and meeting deadlines were just a few more of the responsibilities. Although individual students on both East and West Campuses independently wrote newspaper stories, the majority of the copy came from the journalism class. Those stories were passed on to the editors who made necessary adjustments and decided where the stories should go. The Pekinois staff made many trips to the Pekin Daily Times before the paper could be dummied up and taken to Blaydes Printing in Peoria. Yearbook staffers had little extra time because much of their time was spent drawing layouts, writing cutlines, sizing ictures and indexing pictures, tories and events were captured on film, developed, and printed in the Publications darkroom. Students’ efforts were not limited to just the printed word, however. The Journalism class tackled a complicated final project of writing, directing, and producing a half-hour two segment community information show called “Focus on Pekin High,” aired on cable channel 11. The Publications class carried it on throughout the school year and developed it into a monthly series. Before full production began in the fall, newspaper staffers Jill Johnson and Kevin Robinson went to the University of Missouri workshop at Columbia; and yearbook editors John Knight, Michelle Wilson, and Shelly Gee attended the Ball State Journalism Workshop to brush up on writing ana to learn new skills.

In harmony, the Concert Choir performs during Christmastime under the direction of Donald Valentc. 84 Fine Arts Express Yourself Creatively in Fine Arts Fine Arts can be easily described in one word, expression, the key element that separates the Fine Arts from any other field of study. Imagine, for example, that you arc part of an audience watching a musical being presented on stage. You probably never realized all of the expression that is going on at any one moment. Performers, from dancer to violin player, are expressing a mood, a certain feeling that they want to share with the audience, and if the audience feels it, then the entertainers have given a grand performance. Students who like to express themselves find Fine Arts at PCHS is just the place for them. The dance department, for example, provides jazz, ballet, and modern styles. Along with learning dances, the students also learn how to choreograph routines by themselves. But what would a dance class be without the right atmosphere? You’ll always find the stereo pumping out music from such varied artists like Kraftwerk, Chopin, or Olivia Newton-John. Wood dance floors on both East and West Campus are being installed this year to make for better dancing. Students who go into dance without the slightest idea what a “plie” is come out knowing what a “tour jetc” is. Even if you've got two left feet, you should benefit from dance classes. “Art department's main objective is to let people know what we're doing, which is good!” says Dean Grethy, chairman. Helping to teach students how to make good art work are instructors Judith Barth, Ralph Heston, and Dean Grethy. Art work takes many class forms such as Sculpture, Textiles, Jewelry, Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking. Student work can be seen all over the building. displayed in full color in the hallway by the counselor’s office, in the administrative offices, and in the exhibits at Pekin Library. Artfully designing a piece of sculptured metal, this senior art student works peacefully in Mr. Heston's jewelry class in the art department at East Campus. The Art department offers diversified classes to appeal to the likes of the many students taking art at Pekin High Fine Arts 85 “The Many Faces of Man” has seen better days. Dean Grcthy’s sculpture, located in the courtyard behind the lockers, was dismantled because it was weatherbeaten and its message was outdated Art by West Campus students is observed in the Leeway display case. Mr. Heston pauses a bit to renew the artist's creative juices in his sculpture class. 86 Fine Arts “Threshold to Infinity is the name of Steve Bryant’s final Jewelry project, a set of 9 mirrors and their reflections of the object in the middle. 3 Music is another area in which talent is developed. Headed by Mr. Dan Gannon, it features different forms of music, from band to orchestra to choir, which can express a person's intermost feelings. Any student interested in music can become involved just be trying out. Gannon stresses that while a student does not have to know how to play an instrument before he joins, but that he must be willing to learn! Just this year band added four new members who previously didn’t know how to hoir and orchestra, headed by Mr. Donald Valente and Mr. Scott Johnson, round out the music department. The Concert Choir of 120 members compete in the Music Maestro competition and have six participants in All-State Orchestra, the finest talent in Illinois. Winter and Spring band, choral and orchestra concerts offer opportunity to perform in the traditional setting; marching band takes the gridiron and parade route; and orchestra ensembles specialize in chamber music. Drama is another excellent way to communicate with other people. Speech, Drama, and Humanities all help to teach a student how to relay a certain emotion or convince people of a certain idea. If acting on the stage appeals to you, tryouts for the Fall or Spring play might produce some rewarding results. Drama students also see live theatre, attending “Little Mary Sunsine” and “The Skin of Or Teeth,” presented by ICC. Director of plays, Mr. Glenn Smith, also teaches Drama and Humanities classes, which can make the student realize that there is an exciting world of Fine Arts out there and that getting involved in it can be very beneficial. Communicating is the key to speech and debate. These areas, headed by Mr. Doug Springer, have been very successful. Debate has been to state competition 13 out of 15 years; Speech has gone 15 out of 15. Overall, Drama department emphasizes communicating and expression. Whether dance, art, music, or drama, you can express yourself in any one of the Fine Arts departments. an in instrument. Fine Arts 87 Keeping children occupied is not always an easy task.

This is boring!” blurts a student in the middle of his teacher's explanation of transcendentalism. Although they cannot always substitute a field trip for classroom instruction, there arc some creative PCHS teachers who do cut down on lecture time and actually make class fun by using unique alternate teaching aids. Freeing students from the old preformulated compositions, Donna Carner allows her students to write novels, and radio programs. In years past, David Evans has videotaped his English students acting out Caesar. For a final exam grade, Betty Bower encourages her students to let their imaginations run wild and produce 30 minute programs to be aired on a public cable station. Mock trials arc popular with both Norma Hcbner, who teaches Living Law, and Health Now teacher Don Merrick. Merrick’s class puts drugs, alcohol, and such on trial while Hebner’s class focuses more on court proceedings. James Fairchild's American History II students study in-depth the struggles and accomplishments of the many American occupational. social pressure, and political groups during his simulation game of the I920’s and Great Depression period. Latin teachers Judy Streid and Henrietta Davis, French teachers Lczlic Padgcn and Mary Jo Kohunsky, Spanish teachers Barbara Poison and Sandra Henson, and German teacher Helen Hickcrsbcrgcr and her student teacher Brenda Blimling united this year to put on an international foreign language fair giving their students an in-school opportunity to learn more about the culture of the language they are taking. Students practiced the entertainment they would provide and made mock passports to allow them entrance to each of the four “countries in the fair during the week preceding the fair. The day before was spent preparing traditional desserts, setting up currency exchange enabling the students to purchase souveniers and candy. They roped off and decorated the section of the North Gym reserved for the country of their respective language. Students of Lois Strickfaden’s Successful Living class got a taste of pre-marriage preparation in a mock wedding. Since most of her students were female, they served as the bride and bridesmaids, while the male parts of groom, groomsman, and usher were played by volunteers from study hall. Strickfadcn tried to make the ceremony as authentic as possible by having a real three layer cake baked for the occasion, a recessional and receiving line, an “organist play the wedding march on a stereo, a ring made out of the tin foil used to cover the cake, and a post wedding reception. Many other teachers come up with original and unusual projects for their students. Although these special projects sometimes require extra work, students agree that the fun was worth it and the teachers who made it all possible should be commended for making school years all the more memorable and exciting.

Hearing this, you’d think it was someone talking about playing in a rock band. “Jam ’ however, took on a whole new meaning this year when Mr. Marshall Stoner and Miss Barb Waddell staged a Gym Jam for students and staff to get into physical activities in informal situations, hoping to create an awareness of itness.

Shown here, Ty Conklin takes his best shot. 90 P.E. Physical! ing basketball, pickle ball, volleyball and other physical activities. “I feel that students are awakening to the need of physical fitness,’’ comments Stoner. To meet these needs, the department initiated Early Bird P.E., providing an extra hour when students who wanted to take P.E. and get credit but still have time for other classes could be accommodated. Senior John Knight said, “It’s an easy way to get credit and take those other classes. I don’t think the girls liked it too well because there wasn’t time to do their hair.” “It’s not so bad,’’ added junior Christie Reichert, “I came to class dressed, and that way I didn’t have to get up as early.’’ The department also held sessions after school to draw students and staff into “getting physical.’’ Deans’ secretary Mrs. Jane Beach, an aerobics class participant, said, “I feel it is a good way for the faculty and staff to relieve tension that builds up through the school day.” Many people were regulars to the Wednesday after school programs. Others came as their schedules allowed. “In my opinion,” comments Miss Waddell, “more students are taking physical education classes more seriously.” As a result, the department r stressed variety in their activities, adding new ones as needed or appropriate. In ’82, it was pickle ball; this year it was table tennis, volley tennis, cross-country skiing and global ball. (Little snow really cut into the skiing.) Approximately 25 other activities plus dance are offered including basketball, baseball, tennis, and field games. Even within the dance emphasis there is ballet, modern or jazz forms. P.E. department encourages students and staff to “shape up” whatever their age! To your health! “T Is that all you're gonna cat? You have anorexia. Next thing you know, you’ll be a bulimic barfing up all over the place'' Though made light of in the lunchroom, “anorexia” (technically anorexia nervosa) is no laughing matter, as East Campus Health Now students learn that anorexia is a mental illness which typically strikes people in their teens, mainly females. Its victims suffer from ► a fear of becoming obese, and therefore literally starve themselves thin. Anorexia is just one of the many segments of study in Health Now. Other segments involve mental health, the effects of drug and alcohol abuse, human sexuality, common health, hygiene, and physical fitness. Freshmen are required to pass one semester of health in place of a semester of PE. Freshman health is fairly basic, focusing on terms and definitions, with chapters on consumer health, care of the human body, nutrition, mental health, substances that modify behavior, prevention of diseases, chronic health conditions, family life, the environment, sex education, community health, first aid and emergency care. Health Now is a junior senior elective which probes deeper into and provides for a better understanding of the basic topics taught in freshman health. Mr. Don Merrick, health instructor and department chairman, related Although the enthusiasm is greater with the freshmen, the maturity level is higher in East Campus health students.” There are so many aspects of an individual's health that can affect one’s life, that ordinarily one doesn’t come to realize it until he is ill and it is upon him,” Merrick pointed out. Many students are so set in their way that they are biased to good health,” Mr. Merrick concluded. Keeping Fit, Dave Henderson and John Klein jog around the East Campus Gymnasium. Health 91 Awareness Grows for PA VC Classes Jnemploymcnt, plant closings and a Caterpillar strike brought a message close to home for high school students this year. Teens need special training if they want to enter the job market directly after high school. Not all students want to go to college. Other training can begin at the Pekin Area Vocational Center (PAVC) introducing individuals to food service, electronics, electricity, metals, welding, child care, business and secretarial fields. Training for junior and senior students is offered also in fashion and interior design, dental assistance, commercial art, and surveying are other opportunities. Most vocational classes are in a two year period and meet for two hour sessions. It is, after all, essential to know if you will enjoy and adapt to the needs of a field you choose for a career. Getting a headstart into that field is possible at Pekin. Besides clinical and on-the-job instruction, students have to confront problems that may actually occur day to day in those occupations. When the bread dough doesn't rise, the poinsettias don't bloom, the typewriter breaks down or computer misprints data, students learn that inventiveness and basic skills can find alternative solutions to the problem and will keep customer and business going. Teaching of real-life business skills occurs also in activities of classes. The fashion and interior design students designed red satin hearts with special messages on them, then sold those to the student body and community. Next came sewing the hearts, mass-production style, for hands-on marketing and production roles. Agriculture students raise feeder pigs, butcher them and sell sausage, again in a hands-on experience of farm economics. Director of the PAVC William Rees and Assistant Director Dale Smith point out that clubs, which work directly with the classroom programs, do a lot of community service. Students learn parliamentary procedures, make presentations for sales, and devise marketing skills for a company. Most classes at the PAVC request that students become members of a club or chapter. Some groups include Future Farmers of America, Future Homemakers of America, During mechanical drafting class, senior Doug Lane puts his ideas on paper. Ready? 3-2-1 type. Junior Kim Underwood races against the clock as she types a S-minutc timed writing in Secretarial class at the PAVC. 92 PAVC With hands-on experience, these students prepare for the world of work in Auto Occupations, a two-hour PAVC class. Home Economics Related Occupations, VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America) as well as business organizations. Clubs have yearly fund raisers to pay for field trips or club projects. Just this year, child care classes sold magnet memo holders. Other students plant and care for the mum plants, spring bedding or strawberry plants that are sold to eager home gardeners. Hor-ticulture students made wreaths this Christmas as another fund raiser. Some other projects were fruit baskets, candy sales. Vocational clubs also undertake projects for benefit of the community. Office Occupations Health Aides and Food Service provided Valentine cookies and balloons to patients at Pekin Memorial Hospital. Other groups visited the nursing homes, assisted at the animal shelter, in parades and in various civic club projects elsewhere in the area. Building Trades, Data Processing, or Health Aide instruction may be the edge that helps one become a new employee, a taxpayer and contributing citizen. For the student who can’t wait to get through school — and to get out into the job world, getting experience and instruction at Pekin’s Area Vocational Center makes cents! PAVC 93 “Hello, mom!

PA VC 95 Taking attendance, Mrs. Kincaid is a familiar face in the halls and classrooms of PCHS. Not acting her age, Mrs. Dentino often substitutes for Mrs. Bolinder on East and Mrs. Ely on West. Here she leads the dance class with warm-ups. Substituting isn't always hectic, as Mrs. McCruden relaxes during her prep period by reading a magazine. 96 Substitutes Not just babysitters; Teacher for a day w . the students realized there was a substitute teacher, one student said to another, “Great! We’ve got a sub today. We don’t have to do any work.’’ Throughout a school year a student may encounter a substitute teacher more than once, and that results in substitutes often being treated poorly and unfairly. Some students look at substitute teachers as babysitters rather than teachers. Many times when students have a substitute teacher, they are noisier than usual, harder to get along with, and try to get away with as much as possible. This is unfair to “subs.’ Mrs. Bev Harrison, a frequent PCHS substitute teacher comments, “The disadvantage of being a substitute teacher is that when you get in a class with many kids, you never know if they’re taking advantage of you.” Mrs. Janet Pavlons, history teacher at Pekin, started out subbing at PCHS and ten other area schools. She recalls, “One time when I was the substitute teacher for a class, everyone in the class changed seats, hoping I wouldn’t notice.” Along with being taken advantage of, subs have to be willing to teach anyplace or grade, have to be prepared for different subjects, and have to be able to adjust to the clas schedule. According to Mr Pavlons, adequate lesson plan are not always available. Th makes it difficult fo substitutes to follow th regular teacher’s plans. Though many people don realize it, substituting is hard than it might appear. Student often expect substitutes to b able to conduct the class in th same manner as the regula teacher. People are different therefore, they won’t conduc the classes the very same wa Another disadvantage fo substitutes is that they oftei get calls at the last minute ti fill in for another teachet Some substitutes don’t eva know they are going to be sul bing until a few minutes befoi class. Mrs. Pavlons adds, “On thing that is disappointin about substituting is that yo never get a chance to put ini practice what you’ve learned a a teacher because you don’t g to plan your lessons.” Since substitute’s will alway be around, students should tr to make them feel more coir, fortablc instead of being rude Before doing or sayin| anything that would make th sub feel uncomfortable students should put themselvt in the substitutes place firs! Maybe that will change thei mind! PCHS computes From adding two numbers to figuring a payroll, from video games to launching space rockets, computers have advanced American technology tenfold. PCHS is feeling the touch of the computer era. In order to keep up with the latest advances, the Guidance Office uses computers to make their jobs a little less time-consuming. Terminals from the office are hooked up to computers at Illinois Central College by telephone wires. Indexing, report cards, and scheduling arc performed with this computer. The Media Center has computers available for students. This is where they can learn to program, solve mathematical equations, chemical equations, learn to type, and even play computer games. Mr. Stan Pieper, head of the A.V. Center, said that the computers are constantly running through the day and sometimes before and after school also. Another computer is housed at the Vocational Center. Data Processing is a class offered by the Center that teaches programming and processing procedures. The class is two hours long and gives the student a chance to get used to different kinds of computers. A computer math class is taught on East Campus by Mr. Dick Barker. He teaches BASIC, a computer language. The students develop programs on the computer which gives them technical hands-on training as to the many different uses of computers today. West Campus has just installed 25 Apple Computers to give both teachers and students an early start on the fast moving computer age. Computers are affecting every aspect of life today, from building fuel efficient cars to scanning brains and hearts. It is very difficult to imagine life without them. With the increasing use of computers at PCHS, it is possible to foresee a time when there is a computer in every classroom, and maybe even computers as teachers.

Language study Expands our world Do you want to know what the Spanish do in the afternoon? What sites there arc in France, what the German eat, or what the Romans wear? From tacos to French rolls, foreign counties are having a stronger influence than ever before. Foods, religion, social life, and art are among the many areas of culture taught in the language classes. Learning a foreign language not only broadens the understanding of another country's way of life, but it also helps one understand his own language. PCHS offers Spanish, Latin, German, and French. At least one of these languages is recommended for college. Another reason students get involved with foreign languages is for an opportunity to broaden their high school study background. Along with learning through the use of a textbook, the Spanish attend plays, dances, and craft shows. The Spanish class has two food days a semester in which the students learn to make and taste Spanish foods that they are not accustomed to. The French class performed a Cabaret in the Spring, consisting of native songs, dances, costumes, and plays. The French class also has an honors night to honor the scholars in French. The Latin Club hosted its traditional Christmas party for members of foreign language clubs. They were also busy during the year visiting the Pompeii exhibit and an art show. The German horsemanship show in Peoria was one of the extra activities that the German classes attended. Food days are also enjoyed by the German classes throughout the year. Mrs. Henrietta Davis, the department head of foreign languages, commented. “Foreign cultures are becoming more and more a part of the English culture. Taking a foreign language broadens the student's knowledge of other cultures and traditions. Although foreign languages are not easy classes, they are very beneficial to the student in the long-run.

The courses consist of Accounting, Business Math, Business Principles and Management, Consumer Business. Data Processing — AVC, Introduction to Data Processing, Marketing, Office Occupations, Record Keeping, Secretarial, and Typing. In Accounting one learns how to fill out financial statements, and what a debit and credit arc. This course is for students who want to learn the basic skills of accounting. One also has to do a practice set, which will cover everything that the person has learned in the course. Business Math is a course that teaches people how to work with adding machines. This course also teaches the metric system. Business Math is a course that is made for a student who wants to advance in business. In Marketing, students learn salesmanship and how to put merchandise on the market. Marketing 2 teaches how to run a business and how to write letters to employers for jobs. Marketing 2 also teaches how to write a business report, telling how much the enterprise will cost and how it is to be run. Typing is a course that is suggested for those planning to be a secretary or to work in an office. Typing 1 teaches a student the basic skills of typing. In the end each student types a term paper. Introduction to Date Processing is a course that is for students who want to learn about computers. In this course one will have two weeks of on-hands computer work, and the rest in the classroom. Whether a student wants to be a secretary or a company president, the Business Department has a course for him. Business 99 Industrial Arts Build Promising Career 1 hree teachers had to be cut due to declining enrollment in the Industrial Arts Department. The courses are supposed to be prerequisites for the Vocational Center’s shop courses. However, students are skipping these basic courses and jumping right into the vocational programs. Mr. Larry Truckenmiller says that this fact is bad for two reasons: first, because students miss out on learning the important background information in such diverse areas as drafting, woodworking, electronics, metals, and plastics; secondly, because he is one of the teachers cut due to the decrease. The basics that students learn in Industrial classes are how to work with their hands and imaginations. In almost all of the classes, the students are required to design and build an original project, in order to foster creativity. According to Mr. Trucken miller, the favorite projects of many students is drug-related. “I’ve had students craft the most beautiful and intricate pipes and bongs you've ever seen, he says. “Usually 1 wait until the student is completely finished before I turn his project over to Dean Fleisher. An exacto knife and a little imagination are all Ron Krakulis needs in Graphic Arts. Scott Schumm works on his original project in the machine shop.

West classes teach foods and basic clothing construction. East expands the program with more clothing techniques. Family Life and Parenting, Successful Living and Child Development classes. For even more specialized training, Pekin Area Vocational Center has Fashion and Interior Design, Child Care, and Home Economics Occupations which put students directly into work experiences. Initially, students may prepare quick breads, lunches, simple party menus or plan kitchens in Foods. Clothing offers instruction in threading machines, hemming, selecting fabrics and sewing blazers, skirts, slacks, jeans, or maybe even a pr or a stuffed toy. Studying aoout experiences of marriage, birth, handling teenage years, aging, and death help one cope with the on-going living years. They have field trips to nursing homes, hospitals, child care centers, even funeral homes. Try teaching parenting with just an egg! This experience, having to be responsible for an egg for two weeks, never leaving it alone or mistreating it — could be similar to the first weeks with a new baby. Breakage can be a problem, though two girls escaped penalty by re-dying an egg and not scheduling a funeral! Some feel that the experience gives them insight into what changes really occur after suddenly having the responsibility of a child. Successful Living students prepare scrapbooks for their weddings. Checking prices, social traditions, even choosing bridal dresses, flowers, and ceremonies, girls and guys find that weddings can be exciting but often financial disasters. The mock-wedding brings together students in a serious but light-hearted ceremony complete with bridal gown, bridesmaid dresses, flowers, and reception. Child Development traces the stages of children from conception to birth, constructing a toy for a child, studying adoption procedures, finding out why children and parenting techniques — or for working in nursery or child care programs. Home Economics is not just for those who know they are going to be homemakers. These classes may also help you to get employment, to be a better parent or employee, or to live a better life. Learning appropriate parenting skilb, students practice reading stories, playing games and planning and staging parties for pre-schoolers at the PAVC. All smile from the radiant bride, but the groom appears a little reluctant. That’s acceptable for the mock wedding staged in Successful Living class. Junior Jeff Frye and Senior Diane Upchurch played the happy couple cutting the cake. Home Economics 101 Faculty ‘shape up’ sound mind requires a sound body; in keeping with this old adage. Governor James Thompson set up a State Employee Fitness Day in October. To commemorate the day, Pekin High scheduled activities for its employees, including a run around the track at anytime during the day and one hour aerobics class. However, some of the employees requested that the fitness day become a regular practice. Mr. Marshall Stoner, P.E. chairman, said “A lot of the teachers thought that the fitness day and activities were great, but they also thought it was too bad that it was for only one day.” Therefore, the P.E. Department set up faculty programs after school and at night. After school, pickleball and volleyball were organized with faculty players. An aerobic dancing class met every Wednesday night for an hour, taught by dance instructor Dee Ely. The enrollment for the District 303 aerobics class averaged between 10-12 females. “Men were welcome to come, but rarely did,” said Mr. Jane Beach, East Campus Dean’s office secretary. Besides Mrs. Beach, participants included Mrs. Pat Burwell, West English teacher; Miss Dentino and Mrs. Redding, frequent substitutes; West Dean’s office worker Mrs. Mary Bagley; and Mrs. Helen Harrison, West Dean. To get the class started, the ladies do stretching warm-ups. Then they get into aerobic dancing, which is constant movement to loud disco music. Almost everyone involved with the classes had a lot of fun. Mrs. Harrison said, “It has helped me, along with my diet, to lose weight.” Mrs. Bagley added, “I feel better. I seem to have more energy and pep. I’d like to take the class again next fall.” In fact, the response was so great that the classes are planned again for next year. It’s great to see teachers getting involved in other things besides school. Kick, kick.

Get the big picture. ’ Those programmed remarks come from high school drivers education teachers at least 20 times during class. Then, imagine driving down the road and hearing, “turn left. You panic and turn right. Or that time when you are parallel parking and hear a deafening scrunch. You cringe when you realize that it is your fender scraping along the curb. You tremble with fear as your instructor yells at you to “get it right!” These few common incidents make drivers education in high school an exciting class not just for students, but instructors as well. Most every student yearns for this course, a relatively uncomplicated though demanding credit requirement. To enroll, you must complete one semester of classroom instruction with a passing grade before taking the bchind-the-whecl program. For that class, you must be at least sixteen years old, have a social security number, and attend regularly. Passing requires completing the tests, not missing more than three days of class, and completing the behind-the- wheel test for your “blue slip” that allows you to drive when accompanied by a driver with at least one year’s experience. Sign ups for this course begin for many on west campus, and may mean coming to school early to beat the rush of eligible students. Ask any student about class experiences, a variety of serious and comical events begin to unfold. One person recalls a girl who was driving and forgot to shift while turning a corner. The car bucked all the way around the turn. Another student remembers having the class before school hours (7:15 a.m.) and being allowed to stop one morning at a corner grocery for a soda. One girl met her fiance while taking her drivers ed final exam. Then, there’s the situation where one student had to check oil at the gas station and couldn’t find the dipstick. Many fearful experiences having occurred, especially when a student is assigned to driving the manual shift vehicle for the first time. Fear of going too fast, too slowly, of failing to check rear view mir- ror before pulling away from the curb are likely to cause many memories, too. While the Illinois legislators debated the validity of drivers education courses in high schools, pointing to the cost of instruction and time involved, many persons tried to emphasize that good driving habits may not come from having one's parents teach the procedures. Since the votes weren't there for cancellation of the high school curriculum inclusion of drivers ed, 1983-84 students still will find themselves behind the wheel, a bit insecure as their teachers instruct, “Start the engine.” Students who don't want to take their high school drivers education course may also enroll for the class at a private driving school, paying approximately $160 for the two part program. If you’re still interested in the class, sign up at the counselor's office. And do remember, when someone in your car experiences some confusion and starts to go the wrong way on a one-way street, don't laugh ... IT COULD BE YOU! Enjoying herself, Shawna Knoll is lucky enough to be the first driver for the hour in Mr. Dick Bouris' drivers’ education class during summer school. Driver’s Education 103 English stresses writing skills LLnglish 8? No way! I’d rather die!” Most students feel that way about writing, but realistically, more seniors take English 8 than any other English class. While most students groan at the thought of a term paper or any other writing assignment, writing is a very important skill. Writing is communicating, and necessary for not just resumes, but for many jobs. Mr. Nelson Ed-dings, head of the English department, disagrees with those students who dislike writing, adding that when it comes to writing and English, “Hove it!” Actually, the entire school is concerned about writing. The Writing Competency Committee, formed by Superintendent Dr. James Elliott, has already brought about changes in many classes. Tests in various departments are now including essay questions which require students to use complete sentences. The emphasis on writing is bringing about some changes in teaching of writing. English teachers enrolled in a series of 5 workshops on improving students’ writing — learning ways to “prewrite,” revise and generate ideas for writing. This year marks the last year for the “guinea pigs” of English, those 1979 entering freshmen that were placed in an enrichment class known as AA English. These students have spent the past four years together in the same class. While some students dropped this course, others were added. The majority of the seniors in AA have been in it since their freshman year. Atmosphere is much more relaxed than in regular English, but the work is more intense, and is basically the same as any other class except the students must pay more attention to details. An example might be that during the reading of the Canterbury Tales, senior students in AA English made up a game in which they played the characters and gave speeches as to why they should survive. AA English is difficult, but can be very enriching. English is more than just English! It’s learning where to place a comma, how to organize paragraphs. While the first six English courses reinforce what students have learned in junior high, there are a variety of English-based courses. Etymology, the study of words, can be very helpful to college-bound students. Mythology gives students a chance to learn about Greek, Roman, and Norse heroes. Publications and Journalism, offered only to juniors and seniors, give students a hands-on experience while working on the school newspaper and yearbook. English can really offer a lot, but most importantly it enables the students to communicate, an important skill throughout jobs and one’s personal life. Last minute theme revisions can be the difference between a passing or failing grade. Lisa Rohe and Robin Lovelace make “before-the-bell changes” to their themes in 7AA English. Process themes bring out the talents of freshman Lee Abts. Kelly Rakestraw, Mary Krause, and Janere Battcrton as they carve out a pumpkin head. 104 English Hi tech need, new text credited; Math enrollment zooms “ yf lVly brother is a .eventh grader and he’s eaching computer classes. That’s sickening to be handling 1 computer at his age!” says Amy Verheyen. Students who :xcel in math are usually envied by their peers. Whatever the age. mathematics has been made synonymous with difficulty. Math skills, no matter how difficult learning them seems to be, are very important, with today’s advancements in technology. Students may believe this since the enrollment in mathematics classes are up. This year's enrollment for the math department was 2.896, compared to last year’s 2,721. On West Campus, two science teachers received math classes to teach because of the higher enrollment. Because of the recent interest in math, new changes have arisen in the math department. Two sections of the West Campus Algebra 1 classes were used in an experiment when the math department tried out a new Algebra 1 book. The book was by a different author and seemed easier to understand. The results: failure rate was 400% lower than when the classes used the old book. Needless to say, all of the Algebra 1 classes will be using the new text by the same author. Today, the use of computers and calculators in math classes has prompted many to take additional math courses offered and or purchase a home computer for private use. And with the rising use of computers, it is not surprising that the math department encompassed computer programming into the curriculum. Computer Math 1 and 2 are offered on East Campus. The class teaches the basics of BASIC, the language of the computers at PCHS. West is yet to have computer classes. At the time they do have one computer that was donated by math faculty member Mr. Donald Miller for use by teachers and interested students. Mathematics is a difficult subject, but it is very impor- tant. The math requirement, at this time, is only two semesters. But because of the growing need for math skills, raising the requirements is being considered by the school board. Math may be the last “R” (’rithmetic), but it is definitely not the least. Although many students overhear friends say, “Whew! I'm glad I don’t have to take math anymore! It isn’t important. And since I’m not going to college anyway, when will I need it?” It’s better to be safe than sorry! One final thought: Don’t try going to computer class next year and try to check out to my Tutone’s song, 867-5309. by dialing it on you computer! It won’t work!

Michele Lee reads her newspaper in an attempt to get current events for Current Events Day. Social Studies not past tense H, Listorians argue that their field is more than a study of the past and those dates of 1492, 1776, 1941, or even 1984! Social Studies, broadly defined, is a reliving of past experiences of our world — i.e. American Revolutionary War, Verdun, Pearl Harbor, Hitler, and Saigon. They say we learn from our mistakes, but do we? American History students learn how and when our country developed from just a few New England colonies to a modern world power. Some PCHS students try to soak up as much Social Studies as possible, especially since five semesters arc required. Mr. Ron Boehm, chairman of the social studies department, says Vi of all seniors and all juniors enroll in an unrequired social studies class. The reason for this high number no doubt is the variety of classes offered. Some of them are required; the others are interesting electives, ranging from Sociology to Urban Geography. All pertain to the citizen’s point of view. Some classes center on the use of money, and the others on the use of the mind and body. American Government is one of the classes required by state law. Students learn about the American governmental system and the way it operates. The basic hurdle of a student in government class is passing the Constitution test, since Illinois law requires students to take and pass the Constitution test in order to graduate. Economics, another branch in the Social Studies department, prepares teens for the real business world. Projects and examples show loss, management skills, what really goes into a business and what comes out — profit. Supply and demand are key words in the class. Anything to do with business is covered in Economics. According to many students, psychology is one of the most interesting classes offered to seniors. Studying the mind in relationship to emotional wellbeing and dealing with stress challenges one to do a better job of living. Dr. Melchers attempts to make students, who must be aware at all times, feel results. Social Studies department tries to teach students to be good citizens, handling those tasks as how to fill out an income tax form and how to vote properly. It really demonstrates the ups and downs in life, from past to present. 106 Social Science Kids science: Chemistry that works “n V- h my,” exlaimed one biology student after she found a four foot snake in her class. Snakes and other critters manage to find their way into many of the science classes. However, science may seem like a fun and game course, but the Hard work may be part of the reason that many students avoid classes such as science, where study, homework and discipline are strict requirements. There is a wide variety of science courses at PCHS de- signed to fit the needs and the desires of the students. Life Science, Basic Science, and Physical Science offer a general acquaintance to each respective area. For those students planning to make science their career, or are planning on attending college or furthering their education, higher level classes are available. These include the following: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Beginning in te fall of ’83 two new courses will be available for those students who will be trying to meet the college entrance requirements, but who don’t have the easiest time in science classes. Chemical Concepts and Physical Concepts will be taught on East Campus, both relative to Chemistry and Physics, but on a less difficult basis. As for the legacy that science is boring and useless, it is not true. Explain the smells emitted from the chemistry lab, the fomaldehyde from the biology room, or the laughter from thephysics room. So our world grows to depend on science to develop new ideas, solutions, answers, and cures. Science is the basis for many fields of experimentation and other possible job prospects. Such careers include: pharmacy, engineering, geology, nuclear physics, medicine, and genetics. Science is now offering more, growth in the next ten years than any other field. Pay resulting in a science related field is good also. Natural Science 107 Taking a breather during chemistry, Mary Tunis, foreground, waits as her partner. Suzie Calvin, records data.

But it reappeared relevant this year when John Knight, senior class president and yearbook editor, tackled the problem of changing the scheduled indoor graduation with the pen (see page 79). This year 14 students were initiated into Quill and Scroll International Society on May 30, and 18 other young journalists received special achievement awards. Thomas Trotter, Pekin Times editor, and Mrs. Ellen Paullin, editor of the Pekinois in the late 1930’s, were the honorary speakers. They spoke on the changes of journalism of high school then and now. The local press, radio and television media along with former journalism and publication students, families and faculty were invited to the ceremonies. Announcement of the 83-84 Pekinois and Pekin-ian staff were made by Mrs. Betty Bower.

More than Brains T he National Honor Society was organized to reward academically outstanding students. The criteria for membership is a grade point average of 3.4 for junior candidates and 2.9 for seniors. The nominees are then voted upon by all the faculty for judging regarding the standards of leadership, service, and character. A final decision is then made by a small faculty council. At the initiation ceremony, four senior members spoke on the four qualities that a National Honor Society member must have Dan Gorsage said that character is based on honesty and dependability. Of scholarship, Tami Lussenhop reminded everyone that true scholars are not concerned only with good grades. Joe Wood told the initiates that they all have leadership potential, and that they shouldn't abuse that potential, like Hitler. “Service is not old-fashioned or outdated,” Kim Carmichael, the speaker on service, said. John Knight was Master of Ceremonies. After the four student speakers. Dr. James Elliott addressed the initiates and then administered the pledge to them.

Sooner or later, however, a ident realizes that he has to it the books. Good study abits don't often come turally but they can be irned. For this reason, senior unselors Mrs. Dorla Swanson eld morning and afternoon up sessions on studying.

Some other ways students review for tests are to jot down key phrases while they read, and to draw maps and diagrams. ‘i do most of my studying in the living room and usually if someone is around they will help me, confessed freshman Erin Rockhill. Family mem- One Student’s View “n V ver the years, 1 have taken many tests which require a great deal of studying in a very short period of time. The first thing I concentrate on (days before taking a test) is the fact that a good test grade is an important part of keeping up my grade for that class. My second point of action is to go home with all notes and studying materials. I then lock myself in my room. This helps remind me that the test about to be taken is very important. It also creates a good environment in which to study. After studying for awhile, I start to get a negative feeling about taking the test. I tell myself: why should I study? I’ll probably fail anyway.” This is the first warning sign that tells me to take a break before I lose patience, and decide not to study at all. I now turn on the radio for a few minutes to break up the monotony of my intense study. The soothing effect of the music lifts my spiritsand puts me back into the proper frame of mind to study. I have learned a few, simple steps to quickly memorize what I am expected to know. One method I use is to take my notes or materials and just read over them until I feel I could answer any question thrown at me about that subject. Occasionally, I have one of my parents or a friend help me study by asking me questions. If these steps are followed, I believe that they will be a valuable part of the learning process. After success is achieved with a perfect grade, I feel a sense of pride because I have stuck to something important. Also it helps to build on a studying experience which will be helpful for the rest of my life.!! bers can be of great value for helping students to review for tests by quizzing and drilling them. Also, by alternating the kinds of subjects they study, such as switching to French conjugations after algebra instead of studying science formulas, students may remember both subjects better. Many students claim they can’t study wihtout the radio on. Evidence shows that music is a distraction. Some students try listening to instrumentals (music without words) since people concentrate better without distractions. I can’t study when people are around making noise, so I usually go to my room and close the door, says freshman Karen Guttridge. Students have found that when they are surrounded by books and confined to their rooms, a more conducive environment for dozing off just cannot be created. By taking a study break, they can revive themselves and insure that they don't fall asleep or give up. Junior Tim Burgener says, I watch TV until the commercials and then study.” In the long run, students who used practical study techniques could not only take pride in themselves for better grades, but also for the fact that they had retained what they learned.

Girls interested in being a pom-pon girl audition in May, and are judged on appearance, execution, knowledge of routine, and kicks. During the summer, the squad attended a workshop at Western Illinois University where they received an outstanding rating. This group of twenty dedicated girls not only perform during half-time at varsity football and basketball games, but they perform at pep assemblies, march in parades, and get up early to clean the stadium after a home football game for money. They marched in the Mar- igold Parade, the Homecoming Parade, and the Morton Pumpkin Festival Parade, for which they received a second place. This year was definitely a year for changes in the squad. Dance teacher Mrs. Jana Bolindcr and choir director Mr. Donald J. Valentc became the new sponsors. “I didn't know how the girls would react to having a male director but so far it’s been o.k.. and I'm very satisfied. said Valente. He and Bolinder modified the constitution and made new rules regarding appearance. No ponytails, braids, colored barrettes, ribbons or jewelry are allowed. In addition, all girls must wear makeup. “Our goal is to make the group of twenty girls look like one, says Valente. Bethany Bernier and Nancy Uphoff shared the job of cocaptain. “This year's squad is the best, and we're trying new things with each routine, comments Nancy.

Since the arrival of Varsity Coach Vic Clark two years ago, the team’s record had improved from 80’s 0-9 to 81’s 4-5. Clark had emphasized building strength through weight training and conditioning, building attitudes to win, and heavy practice schedules. Coaches stressed the ’83 team slogan “Let’s Start Strong’’ in locker rooms, on the field and on tee-shirts. There had even been some outside talent added. Pekin drew Noel Hendrix, a transfer from Prattville, Ala., with his abilities developed in their 8th place team in Alabama's Class 4-A Division. Despite spirit, practice conditioning and new talent, however, the ultimate season just didn't happen this year. Metamora was the first of a string of losses with a 23-0 ’82 score. Hendrix proved himself very valuable, however, gaining 211 yards. First home game brought Pekin face to face with Richwoods. Taking advantage of penalties and turnovers, the Knights spoiled the opener, 20-12. Washington, third foe to face Pekin, took revenge. Although Pekin twice had the lead in the second quarter, Washington's balanced running attack controlled the clock and the final two periods, winning 28-13. Rival Manual overcame the Dragons with a pair of touchdowns in the first and second quarters, then scored twice in the third quarter to Finding one of the boles Pekin discovered against Manual, running back Noel Hendrix tries to get the Dragons a few more yards. Pekin scored their most points this season (21) against the Rams. Showing the form he used to break Pekin's pass receiving record is Gary Jones.

Quarterback Jerry Jones helped spring Pekin back into action late in the fourth quarter with two scoring successes. The final tally was 47-21, Rams’ favor. The next two games with Spalding and Woodruff were also losses. Kurt Krile Scored the only points for Pekin against the Irish who racked up a 21-6 victory. Woodruff spoiled Pekin’s homecoming, jumping to a Quick 12-0 lead that would last tne entire game. Final score that sunny Saturday afternoon was 28-20.1 had to end! Pekin defeated Central to knock them out of a first place tie with Manual in the Mid-State 8 Conference. Jerry Jones threw touchdown tosses of 26 and 17 yards. Pekin's last win was against Bergan. The Dragons scored the first four times that they had the ball, leading the entire game for a 33-20 win. The last game of the season was against East Peoria for a 14-13 loss. Pekin, East Peoria and Bergan tied for the cellar of the conference with a 2-5 record and 2-7 overall. Players vowed, however, “Next year will be different!” Despite the scoreboard, Pekin did have some strong players. Hendrix and Gary Jones were on the All-Conference 1st team. Dave Hunt, Kurt Krile and Brian Bicknell were named to the 2nd team, and Jerry Jones earned Special Mention. Freshman gridders racked up a successful season with a 6-3 tally. The coaches included Dick Bouris, Dave Gambetti and Jim Martin. Sophomore coaches Fred Reader and Mike Pickford directed their teams to a 7-2 record.

For the second year, Pekin tried to block the Lady Potters’ championship quest in the District tourney's first game. While they gave Morton a battle, the Potters still came out on top, 16-14 and 15-6. “Very strong offensively, Morton had several Top Spin’ servers,” said Waddell. Leading team scorers were senior Chris Boerger, 164; junior Joan Elliott, 105; and senior Lori Downer, 104. “Each team member had a particular night or series of points which made her valuable for that particular moment,” says Waddell. “Sometimes it was a defensive play, a set, a spike, or a good serve.” “The Bcrgan match was a 'must' win because the winner would become co-champ with East Peoria in the M-S 8,” Freshman Volleyball.

The Lady Dragons were down 6-13 in the second game. “Lori McGinnis became the server and scored nine straight points leading to a team victory of 15-13.” “While Morton may have been the best-played game, the East Peoria match meant most to the girls,” says team statistician, Mrs. Kathy Downer. The ’82-83 volleyball girls, who were judged on skill, agility, jump, and intelligence in game situations, placed four freshmen and 11 sophomores on the frosh-soph team; nine juniors and three seniors on varsity. Graduating are Chris Boerger, Lori Downer and Jennifer Schalley. Frosh-soph and Freshmen teams also had a winning season. Sophomores posted 16-4; Freshmen tallied 4-3-1. Frosh-soph and Freshmen coach was LaDonna Hurley. Coach Waddell points out that this year’s varsity team differed from last year's group since no sophomores moved up to play varsity.

Where Else Could They Go But Up? Senior Patty Carney exemplified that old proverb, “The third lime is a charm when, for the third time in a row, she advanced to the State Tournament at Arlington Heights. Playing doubles, each of the last three years with a different partner, Carney and freshman Kim Rhodes finished in the top eight, the best finish ever for a member of the girls tennis team. Carney and Rhodes were eliminated from championship round play in the fourth round by the fourth seed from Libcrtyville 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. They then dropped out of the tournament in the semifinals of the consolation with a loss to the seventh seed from Oak Park-River Forest. Carney and Rhodes finished the season with 27 wins and only 3 losses. The varsity team finished the season with a record of 18-3 for third in the conference. Carney and Rhodes captured doubles championships in the M-S 8 Conference Tourna- ment and the Pekin Sectional, while sophomore Doync Calvert and junior Michelle Wilson finished fourth in the M-S-8 Tourney. Pekin easily ousted Morton, Washington, and East Peoria to take the Tazewell County Tournament. The Dragons claimed first place in five of the six divisions in this all-singles tournament. Rhodes ( 2), Calvert ( 3), Wilson ( 4), sophomore Julie Luft ( 5), and freshman Shelly Ayers ( 6) were singles champions in this round robin event. In the singles line-up behind Carney ( 1) and Rhodes ( 2), Doync Calvert finished the season with a perfect record of 20 wins and no defeats. Wilson also had a good year, finishing the season with 15 wins and 4 losses. This was definitely the best girls tennis team in PCHS history. It looks as if the next few years will be just as bright.

Their record tied them with Spalding for the conference lead. But Pekin, led by junior Bob Ghidina's medalist honors (first place), and Tony Calucchia and sophomore Greg Fornoff in fourth and fifth, rolled over the rest of the conference in the conference meet with 307 points to Spalding’s 320, to give the Dragons the Mid-State 8 Title for the first time since 1975. Senior Scott Kellogg in third place led the Dragons to a first place finish in the Regional match to advance Pekin to the Sectionals with high hopes of advancing the team to the state match. The Dragons didn't play quite up to par, finishing sixth, and failed to qualify the team. Sophomore Tony Calucchia shot an 80 and advanced on to the state tournament as an in dividual. Calucchia shot a 79 and an 81 to place in the top 25 of 158 state competitors. The Dragons had no problems handling conference opponents, beating every M-S-8 team by more than eight strokes except for Richwoods, whom they defeated by a single stroke. Spalding took the first match but Pekin got revenge by taking the second. Pekin had several fine showings in tournaments, placing first in three of them. Scott Kellogg placed fifth at the Decatur Invitational, leading the Dragons on to a first place finish of 22 teams. At the Peoria Invitational, sophomore Greg Fornoff placed 17th with Tony Calucchia finishing a stroke behind, leading Pekin to a fourth place finish of 48 teams. Then the Dragons won the conference and regional meets. The junior varsity did as well as the varsity, going 13-0 on the season and winning the M-S-8 Conference championship. Pekin also had one female golfer, freshman Jennifer Sayles. Sayles went on the regional match and played well enough to advance to the sectional match but was unable to qualify for state.

Brian Winters was the Mid-State 8 frosh-soph conference champion, and won the Pekin Invitational freshman race. He also earned varsity letter, which is unusual for a freshman. _______________________________________________________ 128 Cross Country Running Sound, Running Strong It was a season of anticipation and frustration. The anticipation of state ranking, which never came, and frustration from races which could have been run better. Jack Park was the Harriers’ shining star this season. He made it complete with a 42nd place finish in the state meet of 226 runners, nearly matching his fastest time of the season, a 15:07 in 30 degree weather. Park was the first Pekin state competitor since 1969. The Harriers finished out 1982-83 at 8-3 overall; 4-3 in the conference, and taking third place in the conference meet. That gave them a shared third place with Peoria Central in overall conference standings. Although Danny Sapp, junior, was lost to the team at mid-season, Rich Kinser was ready to fill the tap as the number two man. enior Steve Bresnahan, freshman Brian Winters, and juniors Dave Hill and Troy Fardel rotated as third, fourth , fifth and sixth men. Senior Jim Justice and sophomore Luke Nguyen alternated at seventh position. Central was Pekin’s arch rival all season with six confrontations at Saturday Invitationals. Pekin had the edge with a 4-2 record. The frustration came when Pekin didn’t seem to have it in the important races at the end of the year. Central won the District meet; Pekin snared the last qualifying spot (fourth) to advance to sectionals for the first time in 13 years. In the Dixon Sectional, Central placed third in the race to advance to state. The Dragons took a dismal tenth, qualifying only Jack Park as an individual. The Harriers finished in second place at every Saturday Invitational except Galesburg (sixth), and Peoria, (14th of 43 teams). However, each time they finished second, it was to a state ranked team. That anticipated-state ranking proved too elusive this year! The freshman-sophomore team made it two years in a row, winning conference championship by six points over Richwoods. Luke Nguyen, frosh-soph leader for the season, won four races. Brian Winters ran in the frosh-soph conference meet and won it. Nguyen took third, and Jeff Kollmcyer and Kim Sumner were in seventh and tenth spots. Coaching Pekin Cross Country varsity and frosh-sophomore teams is Don Merrick. Frosb-Soph Harriers.

Girls’ CC, Running Together, Miss State — Despite Perfect Mark In three years time the girls who wanted to run cross country went from running with the boys to having their own team and advancing to the Sectional Meet in the 1982-83 season. The girls capped off a perfect dual meet season (7-0) with a trip to the Dixon Sectional. Unfortunately, the going got a little rough. The Lady Dragons placed tenth of the twenty teams, with only four teams advancing to the state meet. Junior Sue Crager ran her fastest time of the season for the two mile race, 12:24, and placed thirteenth. Placing twelfth would have sent her on to the state meet. Teammates Christy Reichert and freshman sensation Karin Love finished in 32nd and 33rd places respectively. Freshman Debbie Severns, junior Jody Helm, who put forth a fine effort despite running on a stress fracture, sophomore Melanie Baker, and junior Lisa Lisk made up the rest of the squad. The Lady Dragons topped the conference in dual meet competition, easily running over the rest of the M-S-8, except for a squeaker at Peoria Central. Central won the conference meet, which Crager won individually, leading Pekin to a second place finish. That should have made them cochamps, but there was a discrepency. Conference officials decided to scrap the conference meet results, so there were no conference champs. The Lady Harriers didn’t let that stop them. The next week, in district. Pekin went 1-2-3 with Sue Crager the district champ, Christy Reichert second, and Karin Love in third. It wasn’t quite enough though, as Central put all five of their runners right behind Pekin’s three to take the District Meet Championship title. Pekin was again second. The top five teams then advanced to the Dixon Sectional. During the entire season if the girls didn’t have to worry about Central, it seemed they had another injury on their hands. Sue Crager missed the first several meets due to a stress fracture. When Crager returned to action it as time for the Morton Pumpkin Festival Invitational. Freshman Lisa Dudley, who had been running as the fourth girl, went out and surprised everyone by winning the meet and leading Pekin to a first place finish. Unfortunately, several days later she was in the hospital with a broken leg resulting from a fall at West Campus. Towards the end of the season Jody Helm also developed a stress fracture, but was able to finish the season. Striding for a first place finish, freshman Karin Love strains in the last stretch of another of her fine races this season. 130 Girls’ Cross Country Shy but pleased.

Seniors Brandon Velde and Todd Stoller, both four year veterans, led Pekin in their charge for the State’s elite. Velde swam to a second place finish in the 100 meter freestyle and fourth in the 100 meter breast with one of the ten fastest times in the State at :59.85. Stoller finished thirteenth in the backstroke and eleventh in the butterfly . with times of :56.58 and :53.5 respectively. In the Medley Relay, Velde, Stoller, Ron Oliver, and Kevin Goeken finished in tenth place with a time of 1:41.46. All times at the State Meet were school records. Backtracking, the Sectional Meet proved to be an almost instant replay of the previous week’s Conference Tournament as Pekin placed third again behind Richwoods and Woodruff. Pekin’s tankers finished first in the 200 Medley Relay while Todd Stoller won afloat the 100 Fly and the 100 Backstroke. Brandon Velde contributed by winning the 100 Freestyle and placing second in the 100 Breast. The Medley Relay, Stoller's and Velde’s finishes sent them on to the State Meet that was held in Evanston. In earlier tournaments, the team finished in fourth place at the Downer’s Grove Invitational, fourth at the Downstate Eight Relays, and second in the Richwoods Diving Invitational. At the Award’s Banquet, junior Jon Thompson was voted most valuable diver. Kevin Goeken was named most improved; Todd Stoller was named most valuable swimmer along with Brandon Velde. Velde was bestowed with other honors as he was named to the All-State Swim Team, was ranked 16th nationally in the 100 Breaststroke, and 18th nationally in the 100 Freestyle.

The Dragons took them to the final seconds twice before losing by five the first time and by two the second. The Dragons did have several high points during the frustrating season. They opened the season by breezing through the Washington Tip-Off Tournament grabbing first and astonished many people by placing second in their own Pekin Holiday Tournament. In that tournament they played their best game of the season. The Dragons knocked off Thornton 52-41, who finished third in the State.

He can hear the blades of other players biting into the hard ice behind him. It's now or never. With one fake and a little luck he flips the puck between the goalie’s legs. The sirens go off, the red light goes on and the crowd cheers. And so another point is scored in another one of the 53 games that the Pekin varsity Hockey Club plays in their long-lasting season. With a final record of 26-22-5, Pekin topped the West Suburban League, and landed second in the Peoria Prep League (similar to M-S-8). Sophomore standout Butch Kaebel led all of Pekin’s scorers with 56 goals and 4 hat tricks. Only three other members scored hat tricks during the 82-83 season: Brad Cordts with 3, Greg Fulk and David Doerr each with one. Kaebel also led in assists, 35, Shawn Blackwell, also a sophomore followed a close second with 32. While Pekin will be returning eight lettermen and receiving an outstanding junior varsity team that placed fourth in the state tournament, they will be losing six seniors including captain Brad Cordts and assistant captains Greg Fulk and Mark Fitzjerrels. The Pekin Hockey Club is just that, a club not a school sponsored team. Each member must pay an initial fee of $140 plus training expenses. However, each member has a chance to lower his intial fee by selling season tickets. Despite the cost of being a member the early morning practices, and the number of games in a season, the boys had a good year. Hockey is a very dangerous and demanding sport that takes a lot of endurance. The crowd may mind sitting for a few hours in an ice filled arena, but the Pekin Hockey team doesn’t seem to mind a bit.

Both of these students collect baseball cards seriously. Kevin has 15,000 cards and Craig owns 10,000 cards. Both have been collecting for four years. Where does one store 15,000 baseball cards? “In card holders, photo albums, and shoe boxes ’ remarks Kevin. Collecting baseball cards can lead to other hobbies. For example, Kevin collects baseball books, autographs, and is starting to collect World Scries programs. Craig collects baseball jerseys, autographs, and pennants. Amoung his many treasures are a Greg Luzinski shirt and a 1958 Musial. Craig estimates his collection is worth $2,000 and Kevin’s is valued at $3,000. Obtaining ten to fifteen thousand baseball cards is another story. Craig attends a trading convention monthly in Peoria. “I don't like to trade,” admits Craig. “I don’t want to lose any of my cards.” Kevin, however, trades a lot with friends and buys from card auctions and trading posts. According to Craig, prices have gone up over the last five years. “It can be an expensive hobby remarks Kevin, “but in the long run you come out ahead. Kevin owns a 1936 Carl Hubble worth $75, and Craig has a 1950 Stan Musial Milwaukee Braves pennant. “Developing an interest in baseball cards does take a while, says Kevin, “But it grows on you. Both Craig and Kevin started collecting cards on their own. Craig collects because he plays baseball, watches and reads about it. Sometimes when you are collecting a little luck can come in handy. Kevin was fortunate enough to meet a kid who gave him 11 Mickey Mantle’s, two Sandy Koufax’s, two Ernie Banks, and two Lou Brocks.

Not admitting defeat, he gets up, dusts himself off, and sprints the rest of the race to try and catch up with everyone else. This is one of the many disappointments a BMX racer can be conformed with. BMX is bicycle moto-cross, a sport similar to motor cycle racing. A very popular sport the past few years, BMX pits participants against each other on a track with various obstacles such as jumps and berms (banked curves). Besides losing a BMX race, another disappointment can be actual injury. Tom Bresnahan, a PCHS Junior who has been racing since the age of 14 and is now considered a racing expert, says, “When the competition’s tough and you wreck, you might get banged up a little. I broke my hand once in a race.4 For protection againstinjuries a person is required to wear a helmet, mouth guard, and long pants or leathers. Senior Tim Arnett was on the brink of turning professional when his career was cut short by injuries. Tim wrecked, tore ligaments in his knee and was forced to hang up his BMX racing career for good. Another Pekin racer, Troy Mitchell has turned pro but not without investing lots of practice and money into the sport. “Pros get money prizes,” explained Troy. “I’m not in it for a living, just to get a little spare money. Professional racing is a 100% payback for the winners. If 5 guys are racing and they all paid $25 for entry, the winner gets $125. In amateur racing the entry fee is usually $5 and the money goes to the Heart of Illinois BMX Association.” Does it cost a lot to be a BMX racer? According to Bresnahan, “The cost of a complete factory built BMX bike is much more than most kids today can afford. An average racer costs around $350.00 but one of the best racers could cost 140 BMX up to $1000.00.“ He adds that44I started at the bottom and built my own bike from parts I had around the house. This is how most BMX’ers start.” Almost anyone can race because the age groups are unlimited. Different classes go along with different skill levels. Beginners are followed by novice, expert, and pro classes. There is also a powder puff class for girls. Although BMX racing may appear to be a free-for-all, quite the contrary is true. As far as Tim is concerned, it’s a lot of hard work. “When I used to race I used to lift weights and go on road trips (long practice routes) somewhere between 10-20 miles a day.” Now that the popularity of the sport is catching on, competitors will have to train extra hard to keep up with the newcomers. Racing isn’t just hard work, though. Even if a racer doesn't win he still learns a lot from the experience. Tom says, 4tI love the challenge of BMX racing. I meet new people and have a lot of fun with my friends. I guess that's why I do it.” ■ ■■■— ——— BMX bikes arc not only for races. To Junior Scott Smith the bikes arc recreational too. as he demonstrates in Lick Creek Woods. Expectations mount as these PCHS spectators wait for the races to begin. To eliminate dead weight.

The team completed the first half of the Mid-State 8 Conferences schedule without a victory. A lack of experience and and the loss of the regular coach because of hospitalization took their toll. However, despite all problems, Pekin won five games against Metamora, Washington, Bcrgan, East Peoria, and Streator. In their best conference effort this season, the team fell to Bcrgan by only one, final score tallying 43-42.

Matmen go all the way w„, has pins but no needles? Take-downs but no pick-ups? or falls but no springs? If you guessed the young, powerful PCHS wrestling team you were right. Under the leadership of Hall of Fame Coach Jack Stoudt, Pekin won their twenty-second league championship in twenty-four years. The 1982-83 wrestling team competed with only Five of the twelve weight divisions as seniors. Out of the young team, senior John Bianchi and junior Todd Shea advanced to state, but were eliminated in the early rounds. There were nine seniors on last year’s team. After winning the conference and regional titles, the grapplers’ streak came to an end with a fifth place showing at the Class AA Sectional at East Moline. Only Bianchi with his powerful win at 185 and Shea’s runaway finish at 112 were able to make it out of the always difficult sectional. Freshman Todd Murphy (98), senior Matt Jones (119), junior Troy Kettell (132), and senior Gary Jones (138) all bowed out in the first session. Pekin blew through its own regional at West Campus with six grapplers garnering titles, amassing 149 points to second place finisher IVC’s 97. Murphy, Dave Klingbeil (105), Shea, Jim Rawlings (145), Jeff Thompson (155), and Bianchi all took firsts while Gary Jones grabbed second at 138, and Matt Jones and Kettell placed third. The Dragon Grapplers breezed through a perfect dual meet season with a 7-0 record but were knocked off in the M-S-8 Conference meet by Woodruff. Pekin’s dual meet record was good enough for ti Dragons to take sole share the title. Pekin really had no troub handling some of its opponen with several schools really ta ing a beating. The Drago; opened the season with a 67-romp over Richwoods. Lat Pekin handled Bergan 60-Manual 65-6, Canton 50-and Washington 62-6 just name a few.

Coach Kent Ayers Boys Varsity Tennis Team closed the season with a 12-8 overall record and a 10-4 Mid-State-Eight Conference Record, good enough for a third place conference finish. The Dragons finished 6th (eight teams) in the Pekin Invitational, in a three-way tie for 5th (16 teams) in the Springfield Invitational, and 3rd (eight teams) in the Pekin Sectional. With only three major letter winners returning, a lack of depth and experience showed during the season, especially in a 5-4 loss to Washington to open the season, in a 5-2 loss to Morton, and a 6-3 loss to Normal U-High in the last two games of the season. Spalding and Richwoods proved to be too strong and too deep for the Pekin Netters. The Irish handed Pekin all four of its losses in the double round robin conference schedule. The Dragons’ ten conference wins resulted in two wins each over Bergan, Central, East Peoria, Manual, and Woodruff. Sophomore Greg Ayers was voted “Most Valuable Player’’ by his teammates. He finished the season with a 21-7 singles record and a 27-4 doubles record. He played at No. 1 singles all year. He started at No. 2 doubles but over the course of the year climbed to No. 1 doubles. He finished second in the No. 1 singles division of the Pekin Invitational and reached the semifinals of the Spring- field Invitational also in the No. 1 singles division. David Milligan, a junior, was voted as the 1984 team captain by his peers. He was 14-8 at No. 2 singles and 27-9 at No. 1 doubles. Junior Jeff White, 1983 team captain, played at No. 3 singles, started at No. 1 doubles and finished in the No. 2 doubles slot. His combined record was 24-24. Greg Fornoff, a sophomore, played at No. 4 singles and at No. 2 doubles. His combined record was 27-22. Greg had a surprise upset in the Conference Tournament as he outlasted the No. 3 seeded player. This allowed him to gain a fourth place finish. Senior Todd Ethridge played No. 5 single and juniors Steve Stagg and Russ Blunk shared the No. 6 slot. Senior Troy Parish and juniors Tom Crawford and Darren Michael rounded out the team. Ayers and Milligan captured the M-S-8 Doubles title. Milligan and White finished third in the No. 1 doubles division of the Pekin Invitational. The teams' best match of the season came with a 5-4 victory over Morton, the Dragon's lead was 4-2 after the singles. They managed to win one of the three doubles matches to preserve the victory. The highlight of the season was the strong finish by Milligan and Ayers at No. 1 doubles. They won the sectional doubles title and advanced to the State Finals at Arlington Heights; a first for the boys tennis program since Dave Orr advanced in 1976, Dave and Greg won four matches while only losing two, which was good enough for a top 32 finish in the state. The outlook for the spring of '84 is good as 6 of 7 lettermen will be returning.

Athletics for fun Intramurals for 1983 had its ups and downs. The ups accounted for about 600 participants for basketball, volleyball, and bowling. The downs were due to a lack of interest which cancelled table tennis and soccer. Intramurals sports have been a part of PCHS for 12 years, and are sponsored by Mr. Neal and Mr. Vedas. Students who are into bowling take their act to Roxy's lanes on Monday nights to put their skills to the test. When the season ended, the Gutter Dusters finished first with a record of 28-11. Members of the team were Captain Karla Turner, Angie Seelye, Ginny Buttram, and Laura Sobeck. Jackie Mansfield and Ginny Buttram shared high game honors with a 173 average. Buttram also had the high series with 442. Paul Watkins had the high game for the boys with a 205 average. Jeff McCombs had high series honors with a 512. Intramural volleyball began Striking out is a fate Matt Vick would enjoy in this particular situation after school at Roxy’s. in November and 18 teams participating in the fun. Hang Loose captured the Red League and Volley Girls won the White League. Intramural basketball had a different look this year. Besides league play, a round-robin tournament was held to determine the winner. The faculty, who went undefeated in league play, were ineligible for tournament play. In league action, the Snowmen finished on top of their division with a 7-0 record and received a bye in the tournament. Hang Loose and DWI tied for first place in the Red League with 5-2 marks. The Faculty went undefeated in the Red League but were unable to participate in the round-robin tournament. The undefeated Snowmen team of Chuck May, Jeff Peters, Greg Blunier, Jim Pool, Donny Grant, and Chris Kcgley breezed through the tournament and came out on top. Whether it's bowling, volleyball, or basketball, intramurals are exciting to watch and fun to participate in.

Pekin was down 2-0 with two outs in the top of the seventh with the bases loaded. Matt Morsch hit a deep drive that looked like a grand slam to left field, but it was caught on the fence by the Knight's left fielder to end Pekin's season and dash their hopes of a state appearance. The Dragons ended their season with a 17-7-1 overall record. They snared the M-S 8 title on the last day of the regular season with a 9-5 record. They also roared through their regional games beating Canton 5-0 and Limestone 7-1. Despite losing their entire infield from 1982, the Dragons had six returning lettermen in Greg Blunier, Rick Burgess, Dan Gorsage, Gary Jones, Matt Morsch, and Troy Guidotti. Throughout the season, clutch hitting and superb pitching enabled the Dragons to put together two six-game winning streaks. The team had an abundance of hitting. As a team they batted .297. Junior Dave Wyatt led the starters with a .384 batting average. Troy Guidotti led the team in hits (30), home runs with three, and runs batted in with 24. He also batted .380. Matt Morsch added a .368 bat to the line-up, but more importantly he anchored the pitching staff with a 9-2 ‘ record. In 68 innings pitched, he struck out 59, walked only 21, gave up only one home run, and threw only wild pitch. He also had a fabulous 1.73 earned run average.

Encounter deja vu G iris softball in 1983 almost made an instant replay of 1982. They finished their season in the same place and had nearly the same records. There were several new faces but the veterans led the way. The girls ended in the regional semifinals in a 4-2 loss to Canton after blowing out Central 10-0 in the opener. They were 15-12 overall and finished fourth in the conference with an 8-6 record. Several players stood out all season long. Lori Gray and Lori McGinnis led the girls when it came to getting people around the bases, while Diane Vogelsang anchored the pitching staff. Vogelsang struck out fourteen in one game. The girls had several out standing games along with a few learning experiences. They got ripped in the second game of the season 21-3 by Metamora. They learned well after that game and went on to do some terrorizing of their own. Central fell to them twice, 12-1 and 10-0; Academy and Farmington also got ripped 16-1 and 12-0 respectively. Gray and McGinnis led the team in batting with .432 and .400 batting averages respectively. McGinnis had the most RBIs with 27. The team batted .298. Vogelsang mainstayed the hurling staff with a 13-8 record and a 2.86 earned run average. This year's team was young with only two seniors; Vogelsang and Gray.

Girls Track Takes It All For the first time in girls track history, the team captured both the conference and district titles, sending four individuals and two relays on to the state meet. State qualifiers were Michelle CJraham, Melanie Baker, Stephanie Sumner, and Sandy Snyder in the 800 relay and the 800 medley relay; Christy Reichert in the 800 meter run; Sue Crager and Karin Love in the 3200 and 1600 meter runs; and Sandy Snyder in the 200 meter dash. Crager finished tenth in the two mile and Snyder was fifth in the 200. “I think it's been the best season Pekin High has ever seen,” head coach Renee Pi-quard commented. Pekin broke nine school records this year. The all-sophomore group named above ran the 800 medley in 1:50.7, the 800 relay in 1:46.6, and the 400 relay in :50.2. Michelle Graham also took the 100 in :11.91. The 100 hurdles fell to Patt Rinkenberger in :16.93. Sue Crager snared the 3200 and 1600 records in 10:56.5 and 5:11.8. Sandy Snyder also snatched the 200 in :24.7. Reichert, Love, Deanna Anderson, and Crager teamed up for a 10:11.0 in the two mile relay. On awards night, Sandy Snyder was named MVP with 273 points. Michelle Graham was second and Stephanie Sumner was third. A new attraction was added this year. The 500 mile club was designed to encourage girls to increase their mileage. Non-track members were allowed to participate also. Three girls reached their goal of 500 miles. They were Lisa Dudley, Susan Crager, and Amy Juchems. As for next year. Coach Pi-quard has a strong outlook and hopes for many girls to return. Girls Track 157 Year of Individuals It was a year for individuals in boys’ track. Numbers were low so relays, the integral part of a track team, suffered. Despite the lack of participation the team managed to wind up high in the conference standings. Steady Jack Park and Dave Hill advanced to the state track meet in Charleston where Park finished seventh in the two mile, breaking his own school record with 9:08. He also finished tenth in the mile, running a 4:21. Hill also had a career best season. He ran an 1:56.4 half mile in the regional meet and finished fourteenth in the state meet with an 1:57. Hill and Park led the Dragons to a third place finish in the M-S 8 meet to vault them from fifth to third in the overall conference rank. After the 3-4 dual meet season. Pekin was in fifth, but they pulled off the third place finish to push them into a tie for third overall. Park and Hill were both M-S 8 champions; Hill the 800, and Park the 3200 (conference record). Kevin Gocken was second in Discus; Vernon Henderson was runner-up in the 110 high hurdles. Tim Parsons also had a career best season. Tim led the jumpers by making over 20 feet in the long jump, and over 40 feet in the triple jump. Parsons also ran under : 16 in the high hurdles along with Vernon Henderson. They were the first PCHS cindermen to break that barrier in years. Though the team broke many individual records, they couldn't get together for a record season overall. Oomph!

Gosh, we'll never live through this week. Girls' swim team members did live, and did make those sacrifices after Eroh warned that french fries contain much too much fat and slow a swimmer down, and candy bars have too much sugar and often cause a swimmer to peak too soon. The results from Eroh's warning and the girls' sacrifices were that when the team came out of the water, they had lost only twice in their regular season of eight meets (Normal and Richwoods). Both varsity and frosh-soph teams placed second in conference standing. Sophomore divers Krista Toel and Carla Smith also made a big splash in the school record books. Toel placed first in the frosh-soph meet, with Smith breaking a school record at Olympia by accumulating 150 points for six dives. The Peoria Woodruff Sectional brought expectation of qualifying for state finals. The team did that and more placing fourth of 15 schools, smashing several school records, personal best times, and qualifying two relays and individual Jenny Steele for the IHSA State Swim meet. In the 200 medley relay of senior Tracy Saal and juniors Shelly Velde, Chris Boyd, and Jenny Steele, a school record time of 1:58.21 put Pekin first State Contenders in the medley and sent them on to State. The 400 free relay finished second to Richwoods, but the school record of 3:49.91 beat the I.H.S.A. qualifying standard of 3:50.5. Tracy Ssal keyed the 100 relay of Boyd. Steele, junior Patty Kelly and herself by having the second best opening leg in school history. Individual Jenny Steele also qualified with a time of 1:04.39 in the 100 backstroke. Other highlights included Saal's record :25.7 in the 50 free; Patty Kfelly’s lifetime best of 2:08 in the 200 free; Velde's third place 1:15.5 in the 100 breast; and diver Smith's school record point total of 260.7 for 11 dives. In the State meet at Winnetka New Trier Higl School on November 19-2? the 200 medley had a time 1:58.2; the 200 free did 3:49.1 and Steele had a ion backstroke time of 1:04.

And practice they do! Four hours each week, not counting all the football, basketball, and volleyball games-both boys and girls. The year brought much controversy as to the cheerleaders’ athletic standing. While the varsity squad must sign the athletic code and follow all other rules set for athletes, they are still not recognized as athletes. They do not receive free letters and do not get out of sixth hour P.E. Varsity captain Ellen Trimble states, It’s just that we work as hard as the other athletes do, but we don’t get treated like they do. Although their primary goal Not Just a Pretty Face is to get the crowd rowdy and into the game, this isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Jackie Clayton relates, When the crowd seems to be more interested in watching the game, we start to do simple cheers that the crowd can pick up on and get them back into a rowdy mood. But then being too rowdy may also pose a problem. When the crowd starts doing cheers that are off color, we try not to promote them and get the crowd back on the track with cheers they are familiar with,” says Gail Burlingame. When asked about the ever present problem of lack of school spirit, Gail also added that the past year has shown a marked improvement from previous years. We really appreciated the support we got from the fans and the cheerleaders, says senior basketball player Brian Scotti. I was especially impressed when we had lost five games in a row that our cheerleaders and fans were right there the whole time cheering just as hard as ever. It’s hard to hear the cheers as such, but it’s sure nice to hear the roarin’ of the crowd, says basketball player Dan Gorsace. As for football, Cheryl Vice says, It’s a little bit harder cheering during the football season because the crowd is so far away, and it’s usually too cold to get them moving around and stuff. It’s hard to hear the cheerleaders, but you sure can hear something from the crowd,” puts forth senior football player Kurt Krile, although I do have to say that they weren’t quite as rowdy as I’ve seen them before. Ellen Trimble added, It helps when you’ve got support from the coach you’re cheering for. I mean, they have to realize we want the team to win just as badly as they do. As for volleyball, the cheerleaders helped cheer the girls on to another conference title. Varsity player Chris Durbin said, Oh, sure, they helped. They got the crowd moving when they’d otherwise just be sitting there. The effectiveness of cheerleaders may have been doubted in the past, but to the volleyballers and crowd they drew the cheers that helped to attain the level of spirit needed. The cheerleaders were under the direction and supervision of Mrs. Janet Pavlons and Mr. Rick White. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. Left to right, bottom row: Jodi Janssen.

Help Wanted: Financier, public relations expert, futurist, pragmatist, educator — able to operate a business on a shoe string yet dream of creating miracles and Utopia. This could easily be the job description for District 303 School District board and Superintendent James Elliott. Seven borad members, elected from Pekin area, labor long hours without pay, and represent a variety or business and professional backgrounds. Their leader is a professional educator and implementor of policies. Their goal: creation and maintenance of a high school curriculum and extra curricular program that meets needs of individuals in today's multi-cultural world. Board members who serve the district must accomplish this job on a seven million dollar budget which was trimmed this year by Governor James Thompson’s state aid reductions and increased utility costs. The school administrtion is still expected to turn out a high quality product to meet needs of a technological world that is rapidly changing, and to do so on a profit-loss ratio that local citizens approve. Board, superintendent and administrative staff combine expertise, sometimes arguing a point as to whether to buy computers, drop or add to graduation requirements — and then compromising to develop and maintain a curriculum for the diverse 2730 students. Budgeting the $7,250,000 which comes to Pekin District 303 from taxes, state aid and investments requires the board and administrators to work within separate funds. Approximately six million dollars composes the education fund covering teacher salaries, library and departmental materials and supplies, field trips, sports not self supporting and equipment. Teachers salaries alone totaled $2,585,845 last year. A building and maintenance fund of $1,200,000 keeps the utilities (gas, water, electricity) paid and covers repairs and improvements to buildings. A big snow year or lots of hot weather can wreck this fund very quickly. Transportation fund is strictly for busing—bringing students to school, or for transporting other class groups as band, choir, etc. The bond fund covers bonds issued to pay for PAVC when it was built and pays interest to those who purchased bonds. This year marks the final payout when PAVC will be clear of debt. Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund and working cash are other budgetary categories. Budgeting is not just a once a year task. Board and administrators, along with community and faculty input, prepare a rough draft of the budget in the spring. Departments consider needs and desires (new word processors? microscopes?) Then the board considers Ayers, Kent Brown. Ann Bradley. Thomas Cadigan. James Disney. Bill Davis. Paula Elliott. Dr. James Emery, John Fleisher, Roger Glover. George Harrison, Helen Keller.

Requests frequently exceed resources ana something really important must be postponed until the next school year. The school, however, is in a continuing business. Board and administrators arc often frustrated, chagrinned, even devastated by too little money and too many needs. Their desire to provide the best education possible, given resources available, continues, however, to keep Pekin High contributing leaders to local, state, national and worldwide business and cultural fields. Leadership is a valuable asset that must be budgeted for wisely and consistently.

What am I getting in this class so far?” Students who ask this question fail to realize they irritate teachers beyond conception by assuming that they just sit around all day figuring grades. There is much more to a teacher’s job than assigning homework, grading papers, and lecturing. Teachers ARE human; they can develop a great deal of stress on any given day. Any teacher who felt an ‘‘Excedrin 5 headache” coming on learned this year that the cause could be mental rather than physical. Coping with a student who didn't turn in homework or attend class brings stress into teachers lives. New techniques to help handle that stress from added pressures within family and personal life developed into a series of in-service faculty workshops. Staff Development, a committee of 16 chaired by Tom Bradley, concentrated on self-help workshops and institutes this year. They offered time management, production of teaching aids, mainstreaming ideas and tips on challenging the gifted during October Institute. Even those who felt organized got help — learning that instead of sorting through papers (the same papers) day after day, one could save time by acting on each paper once (throw it away, file it or write a response) then moving on. 6ne section of faculty signed on for Stan Piper’s course in media, helping produce teaching aids as transparencies, slide shows, etc. Aussieker.

The October fitness day presented awards for participation and tried to encourage fitness awareness.

Secretarial help may check health cards, library inventory, athletic department schedules or type school board budgets. Private secretaries are seldom that. They’re often involved in scheduling a parent conference, answering questions from the community about a school program, or sometimes just helping a student to locate a needed resource person. While these staffers may miss out on in-class contact with students, they frequently deal with youth on a more informal level, and even serve as sounding boards and listeners when there arc difficult days!

Many of us know him as more than that. He's Chuck Eertmocd. a big helping hand to everyone at PCHS. Chuck has been a maintenance staffer at East Campus since its opening in 1964. This June marks the end of 19 years, II months f that Chuck has worked at PCHS. “I've never enjoyed any job as much as I have had here.” Chuck commented. “I don't consider . this a job. It s a position and | I look forward to it every J day. The students have real-■ ly helped me. They seem to keep you younger.” Mr. Joe Venturi, the athletic director, adds. “Chuck has been a friend to every athlete, boy or girl. He really goes out of the way to be extra nice to them. Athletics have always in- terested Chuck and taking care of the East Campus gym seems to fit right in with his interests. But what made him decide to be a custodian? “Well, my dad was a custodian at West Campus and I was around there a lot. Being around all that made me realize that I really liked athletics and kids.” The kids seem to think just as highly of him. “He's got to be one of the nicest and most helpful people in the school. ' says Traci Urban, senior pom pon girl. Junior cheerleader Julie Miller says. “Whenever we (cheerleaders) need something from the chcerleading room. Chuck will drop whatever he's doing and come and help us.” Chuck’s interest in sports and his natural ability to get along with people help out the athletic department in more ways than one. Besides greeting the coaches and officials, Chuck has helped to obtain sponsors for athletic events. “He was even responsible for getting some sponsors to advertise our sports.” said Mr. Venturi. Mrs. Kathi Downer comments on Chuck’s dependability: “If anything's left in this gym you can depend on Chuck to be holding it.” Urban recalls, “Once I was positive someone had taken my tennis shoes because I'd left them on top of my gym locker overnight. The next day I looked all over for them. When I asked Chuck, he said he'd found a pair and was waiting for someone to claim them. Sure enough, they were mine.” Taking care of the gym entails more work than most people realize. Besides keeping the gym floor clean. Chuck also cleans the lockers and sands and finishes the gym floor every summer. Keeping the floor in tip-top shape seems to be very important to him. Mr. Venturi says. “One of the most frustrating things to him is finding scuff marks on the gym floor.” So the next time you walk across the gym floor in your cowboy boots, remember that you're-creating a lot of trouble for a man that many people like and respect. “It's sure gonna be different without him. Anyone who has worked with him has a close relationship. It's hard not to like him.” say Mr. Venturi and Mrs. Downer. Chuck Eertmoed has brought a lot of happiness to many people, plus he's helped out PCHS with his dedication. We’ll certainly miss the man in the red sweater. We hope a little of the nicencss he has given to us might have rubbed off. To put it simply and plainly, Mrs. Downer said it best: “He's going to be missed S Research papers are the norm in college, not the exception.

Dating, however, has changed from that fairytale: boy meets girl, boy loves girl, and boy marries girl and lives happily ever after, the story that we hear about at dinner as our parents begin to reminisce. The “rules ’ and ways of dating have changed much from those golden years we seem to hear so much about. A big question is “Should a girl call a guy?“ Many different opinions can be expressed by members of both sexes. Some feel that “fair is fair while others continue to stand by the old argument that it is “very pushy. ' Senior Kelly Griffin comments, “I am opposed to it. unless I had been going out with a guy for awhile or he asked me to call. I wouldn’t want for him to think of me as pushy or anything. Sophomore Doync Calvert follows suit, “No, I think that if a guy wants to talk to you then he would call you first. Kim Buchanan, Missy Geuvens, Sheila Brewer, and Connie Lovelace all added, “I'd call a guy. There's nothing wrong with it. Sophomore Shelly Smathers also agrees Why shouldn't I call guys, they call us. We should be able to call them. “Sometimes they are just too shy themselves, adds freshman Kim Rhoades. How do guys feel about getting phone calls? Again, there are so many diverse answers. Jerry Martis says that he doesn’t care if a girl calls him. “I like it, he grins. “I'd rather the girl call me than me call her.” Scott Hayes adds. Jim St. Ccrny and Shawn Cates both agree that they like having girls calling. On the other side of the coin, however. Quinn Schad opposes, saying “I'd rather call her. I guess that I wouldn't mind so much if we'd been going out for awhile.” Once the initial date has been set, the other major factor is taken into consideration. The cost of dating is an ever present problem. Dating can be expensive!!! A movie and dinner can cost a guy an easy 20 dollars. That can become an expensive habit for an unemployed guy. How can this problem be solved? What about going dutch? The girl pays for her way and the guy pays his way. Dirk Wreidt, a German foreign exchange student, explains. “In Germany many times the girl will pay for herself. But, also in Germany we go out more times in big groups than alone as in couples. How do girls feel about going dutch? Jill Johnson, PCHS senior, says, “I wouldn’t mind paying for myself. If my boyfriend and 1 were going to a movie, and he couldn’t afford it. I’d offer to pay for myself. From most guys views they wouldn’t mind going dutch with the girl, if they’d been going out with her. Mark Wilson, a freshman, agrees. “The only time I’d ask the girl to pay her own way would be when she asks me to the movie or whatever. If I didn’t have enough money I either wouldn’t go or I would explain the situation to her. Chuck Smith a senior, adds, “The guy is the one that is expected to pay, unless the girl offers. It really depends on the date. It looks like times have changed, and perhaps for the better. Girls don't seem to be as shy to call guys. What's more, the guys don’t really seem to mind. However, their mothers may be another story! Sharing expenses involved with dating is more acceptable. In the future, who knows, maybe the girls will be paying for guys!! Michelle Wilson is not a cheap date, as Greg Fulk finds out at the Pekin Cinemas at the Mall. Dancing is one of the most popular and least expensive ways to spend a date.

Colored hose and patent leather shoes were also popular this year. What movie should I see? What album do I buy? But most of all, what clothes should I wear? Keeping in touch with the latest fads and fashions can be a full time job for a student who wants to stay close to the latest trends. So what are the latest fashions? At PCHS the hottest styles were quite varied as the year wore on. The classy tuxedo look with bow ties and cummerbund lasted all the way through the Christmas season for the girls as did leg warmers and flat boots. The guys relied on the classic preppy look with top-siders, IZOD shirt, khaki pants and crewneck sweaters as well as turned-up collars. And many guys and girls even ventured a little farther by getting an above-the-ear haircut which marked the beginning of the look. Punk styles took the school by storm; New Wave was “in”. Heavy metal rock-n-roll took a back seat in the music department as groups such as A Flock of Seagulls, Men at Work, and Duran Duran soared to the top of the charts with danceable, synthesized recordings. Video music also came to life as Music Television (M-TV) was in popular demand from coast to coast. The hard, tough look began wearing sleeveless sweatshirts, cut off T-shirts and tight fitting minis. Girls accessories also showed the changes in styles as earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, all made the switch to bold, brassy colors. Pearls were no longer considered delicate as colors of black, red, and hot pink showed up on the necks and ears of many girls on top of the fashion scene. While some girls covered up with assorted colored jumpsuits, others showed a little leg with varied above the knee dress styles. The latest color combinations were black and red, black and purple and the biggest, pink and gray. All who kept up on top of the newest trends knew that the movies to see were Porky's, Fast Times at Ridgement High, Tootsie. 48 Hours (which featured the new hit comedian Eddie Murphy) and everybody’s favorite, E.T. This extra-terrestrial took over Pekin and the nation with Halloween masks, buttons, stuffed dolls, lunch boxes and practically anything else that this aliens little picture could be put on. The popularity of this movie and synthesized music signify our move into space-age technology, but the tough punky look is really a re-make of the 50’s street gang clothes. But no one knows how fashion changes from season to season. The most that can be expected is something new. Proving that formal affair don’t have to be stuffy. Jodi Kirn and Rick Taylor exhibit short dresses, baggy pants, the “tuxedo” look, and patent leathers at Homecoming. What come between Holly Duley and her Calvins?

Seniors Go “Separate Ways” Vs the song goes. Separate Ways is exactly where the seniors of ’83 will be going “by breaking the chains that bind them.’’ For some of the class, school will be over and they will enter the working world. Others will enroll in college or the military to further their education. Whatever decisions are made should be at least partially credited to the experience they gained in their past four years of schooling and to the people who made it all possible. When we look back on our years in school, we find we have witnessed many changes in the face of America from Presidents Johnson through Reagan to the changing styles of the 60’s through the 80’s. With our technology we put the first man on the moon and many years later watched the first space shuttle from Cape Canaveral, Fla. The styles brought along many different ideas. Bell bottoms, platform shoes, patches and the Beatles were the “in things of the 60’s. The early 70’s brought jean jackets, cowboy boots, and long straight hair, which were pushed out in the late 70’s with the coming of mini skirts, bold colors, disco, and the ever popular “Brady Bunch on television. While the presidents, styles and NASA space programs were making national headlines, the PCHS seniors were busy making state and local headlines perfecting their skills. Several class of ’83 students were exceptional in the sports field and reached state levels this year. Patty Carney went to state with her freshman partner Kim Rhodes in ten- nis. John Bianchi went to the Assembly Hall in Champaign with his athletic ability in wrestling. Brandon Velde and Todd Stoller qualified individually and on the 200 medley relay with Kevin Goeken and junior Ron Oliver to the state swimming finals in Evanston. Velde, a four-year state qualifier, was also listed among the top ten prep swimmers in the state. Among the football players, Noel Hendrix and Gary Jones received special recognition and were nominated to the football all conference team. East Campus student council president Doug Rees, and intercampus president Shar Hillman will be remembered for the unique activities they helped set up for the students. Among these were the Sadie Hawkins dance, selling Candy grams for the Christmas season, and flowergrams during the spring. Active during homecoming week, the seniors took first place in the skit and float competitions. Class activities such as these helped to make the school years somewhat more bearable. A special congratulations in the scholastic area should go to Lisa Rohe and Joe Wood for receiving National Merit Awards. There are many more outstanding class of 83 students who are not mentioned here, but even so they will be remembered for special accomplishments of their own. From Pekin Chinks to Pekin Dragons the senior class is moving on, the memories will remain forever. 220 Seniors Jay R. Vick, 17, 708 Lincoln, was pronounced dead at 1:40, July 30, at Pekin Memorial Hospital. According to Pekin Police, Vick and a friend were traveling on Towcrline Road when Vick became unable to keep the vehicle on the road. Vick’s friend then took him to Sambo's restaurant in the Pekin Mall and Pekin Police were called. When police arrived. CPR was being administered to Vick. AA Ambulance attendants arrived and continued the CPR until reaching the hospital. A son of Johnic R. and Jeannette LaVigne Vick, he was born June 9, 1965, at Pekin. He would have been a senior this year. He was active in football and wrestling. He had served as a counselor in Muscular Dystrophy Association’s summer camp.

Son Van Trang, Hien Williams, Shelly Wood, Sonya Almost There there are no windows!” “Air conditioning, at last!” “No more kiddie campus stuff, and no more stairs!” The junior class has cone through a big change, from West Campus to “The Hill” or East Campus. But what did being a junior mean besides being hovered over by the all mighty seniors? Being a junior meant getting acquainted with new faces, new classes, and freedom! Use of the Vocational Center was just one of the privileges for incoming juniors. Open study hall was another exciting opportunity. Some of the students thought their last two years were just for “goofing off.” On the other hand, many students were more serious, and made plans for bigger and better things. Maybe that meant a car, a job, or even plans for college. Whether it was McDonald's, Ponderosa, or Burger King, some students got their first big job in a restaurant despite unemployment. Not only did it give them a chance to get out of the house for a few hours, it also gave freedom and responsibilities of the outside world. The 1982-1983 school year has had its high points for juniors. Winning third place on their Homecoming float and winning first place in the spirit contest were preludes to finally becoming next year's seniors at the close of classes in May. The class of '84 was on its countdown: next year was for real. One of the thoughts of juniors is — what after school? It's just around the corner. “College or Vocational?” “Should 1 go on to school?” ... are just a few questions creeping in their minds. But first one has to graduate and then on to the future. Whatever the future holds for the Class of “84,” only time will tell. “The Thinker?

Sophomores Mature “U Oit me with your best shot, world!” This easily was the motto of the Class of 85 as they ventured through their sophomore year. ‘‘When the sophomores become juniors and seniors, they realize the things they have to do for the future. They just use their sophomore year for maturing.” comments PCHS counselor Mr. Gary Wood. Maturing wasn't all the sophs were doing, however. While they contented themselves with ruling over the freshmen, thoughts of the ‘‘heaven they would soon be experiencing on East Campus and their dominant role in extracurricular activities kept their courage up. Keeping the spirit in their class alive was the task of officers Amber Robertson, Lisa Michealson, Kendra Carmicheal and Jill Duncan, although the class already possessed considerable enthusiasm. Forty-four sophomore students took the 1982 NEDT (National Educational Development Tests) in late October. While the purpose of these tests was to discover strengths and weaknesses in academic studies with questions based on English, math, social studies and word usage, they were not required. Mrs. Ann Brown, counselor, thought the sophomores had a good turnout to take the test. Pekin sophomores' average was three points above the national average, with scores running high. Placing in the 90th percentile or above were Melanie Baker, Sean Blackwell, Kindra Carmicheal, Peggy Phillips, Dawn Pilkington and James Shook. Sophomores not only proved they could excel in their studies but also in extra-curricular activities. Tim Riley made the varsity football team. Troy Dowell and Randy Rush were among varsity basketball ranks. Peggy Phillips headed up Key Club. Sandy Snyder ran on track and cross country teams. Greg Ayers was a mainstay in tennis. Jill Vjdoni, Shelly Smathcrs and Darci Vogel (captain) were junior varsity cheerleaders and Beth Krile marked her second year as a pom pon member. The honor of being the Hugh O’Brien Foundation representative came to Gina Heussner in late Spring of '83. With the Class of ’85 agreeing, the faculty and counselors emphasize “this class makes an important contribution to the Pekin High School program.” Demonstration speeches, a requirement in all sophomore English classes, brought out Brian Schermer's talents in “How to iron a shirt. Sophomores 257 If nails could talk, the stories they could tell . .. especially these walls in the Leeway. 1an freshmen . nd sophomores have been embarrassed by the tradition of wishing a friend “Happy Birthday by hanging a surprise sign in the Leeway. 258 Leeway lee way (le'wa), n. 1. An allowable margin of freedom or variation “ivr IVleet me in the Leeway after school!” If Mer-riam Webster were still alive today and happened to overhear this statement exchanged between two West Campus students, he may be curious about its meaning. Mr Webster’s curiosity would stem from the fact that he might only be familiar with the figurative definition of leeway, an allowable margin of freedom or variation, and might not be aware that to West Campus students it means an actual place — a wide windowed corridor which joins the old building to the new . Thirty years ago Ann Eliza Street ran over the land separating the old main and north gym buildings, where the red building and Leeway stand today. Getting from building to building wasn’t easy for students in those days, as it meant crossing the street which became dangerously slippery during rainy and snowy weather. For this reason, in 1954 the District 303 Board of Education and superintendent F. M. Peterson decided to buy the city property Ann Eliza Street ran through and to hire John FI. Hackler and three other architects to design a new three story building and sheltered walkway to build on it. W'hen construction was completed. a contest was held between the students to find a name for the walkway. The winner, a basketball player, submitted the idea to name it after a small man with a big heart.” Pekin trainer Jimmy “Doc” Lee. Lee graduated with the class of 1937 and worked at Pekin for a full 45 years until his death five years ago. His last team, the class of ’78. made a plaque for his remembrance and stationed it in the glass trophy case at the north end of the Leeway. Although the main purpose of the Leeway is to allow students to go from one building to the other without walking outdoors, it serves many other functions. Student Council used to give dances there but discarded that activity from their list four years ago when a dance they held there flopped due to the fact that all the entrances had to be open to allow air conditioning. thus creating a need for guards. Only a few years back the ends of it were used for “Dragons' Dens” and students were permitted to cat their lunch sitting on the concrete bench along the wall. At the beginning of this school year, though. West Campus principal Mr. Stone gave the order to close the concession stands and forbid eating in the Leeway, because the mess from the food became too much of a problem for the janitors. West Campus faculty member Mr. Scott Johnson pointed out, “It looked like a pigpen.” Around election time, the Leeway provides a centralized area for student council candidates to campaign within. Because of its considerable length, the gym classes use it for running. It also serves as extra classroom space for wres- tling, karate, and dance. However, the most popular use of the Leeway is as a place where students can socialize. There are many mixed feelings among students and faculty about walking through the Leeway. Freshman Erin Rockhill remarked, “I feel like I’m an animal in the middle of a circus.” Freshman Linda Henderson replied that her greatest fear is “when you walk down the Leeway, everybody watches you.” Mr. Johnson claimed, “I have no fear.” The people who spend the most time walking the Leeway-are guards Mike Chobanian. who has patrolled it for 14 years, and Steve Cummings, who has walked it since his arrival last year. Even though West Campus students may not think of the Leeway as an allowable margin of freedom or variation, they have to admit that without the Leeway the elements might keep them from socializing so freely.

Determined to survive the “disease of innocence,” the class of ’86 succeeded in their advance to maturity. The sophomores had their bag of tricks, as always, but they were unable to corrupt the freshmen! Studying was a major problem for the incoming freshmen since they were unaware of the quanity and quality of work required of them at high school level. They did find six minutes a little too short to find their classes, but despite the sophomores' misleading guides, they made it through the year. With the help of the counselors' orientation and courses in various study techniques, the freshmen managed to adapt to the daily routine with few difficulties after the first weeks. Not only did they overcome these little hindrances, but they also worked out the bewildering obstacles found in the labyrin h of West Campus building design. Even with those setbacks, there were some notable freshmen. Trevor Roe made the varsity basketball team. Shelly Ayers shone in tennis competition. Karen Love and Brian Winters both received varsity letters in cross country. With the help of senior Patty Carney, freshman Kim Rhodes went to state in girls’ doubles tennis and placed in the top eight teams! Overall, the counselors and faculty agree that the 657 freshmen of the 1982-83 school year are “a darn good class!” Hot in the world am I going to gel this homework done?
