The Pyramid Staff of 1979-80 is pleased to announce that the 1980 yearbook, ‘“‘Pieces of Eighty,” is dedicated to Mr. Sam Robb. Mr. Robb graduated from Coul- terville High School in 1963. He continued his education after high school at Southern Illinois Univer- sity Carbondale. In 1968, with a B.S. in Agricultural Education he graduated from SIU-C. He then taught for two years, 1968-70 in Kewanee, Illinois and for three years at Mt. Carmel, Illinois. During that time he was also fur- thering his education, again at SIU-C, to gain an M.S. in Agricul- tural Industries, he graduated with this in 1975. In July of 1973 Mr. Robb moved to Pinckneyville where he has taught agriculture and sponsored FFA at PCHS. Mr. Robb has been an FFA sponsor for ten years. He intends to continue teaching agri- culture on the high school level. He truly enjoys the subject, but even more — he enjoys working with his students. The yearbook staff, along with many others, feel that Mr. Robb is a very dedicated teacher and cares greatly about the education of his students. We are honored to have such a dedicated teacher at Pinckneyville Community High School and hope he will be here for years to come. Dedication 3 A EET I The pieces putting together the 1979- 80 school year at PCHS were exciting and memorable. The piecing together began at the beginning of the year with additions to the teaching department. The new members were Mrs. Elaine Dai- ley, Miss Julie Downs, Mrs. Romona Hatch, Mr. Thomas Shea, and Mrs. Jean Valentine. Football season brought new pieces to the Panthers on Quillman Field, new lights. The Panthers ended the season with a 7-2 record. Homecoming Week filled the halls with spirit and enthusiasm toward the big game against Murphys- boro Red Devils. V.I.C.A., a chapter of the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America, the new piece to the organizations, was a success for the mining students. Its sponsors were Mr. Shea and Mr. Lambert, who guided the members. The second semester brought Mrs. Susan Beggs replacing Mrs. Lois Smith, and Mrs. Helen Dry substituting for Mrs. Jean Horn. Reorganization in the math department was required after Mrs. Angelyn Schuler moved away. Activities leading off the second semester began with the Fourth Annual Heart Fund Fair. For the second consec- utive year, members of the junior and senior class participated in the Rend Lake JETS Competition. 6 Opening Opening 7 D £ = ® a Oo co Opening 9 The PCHS Board of Education and Administration work together to form the leadership of High School District 101.

The VICA float was 1st in the Organizational floats, FHA float was 2nd. At the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night, students were enter- tained by Southern Illinois Audio.

Christmas Court 31 On March 31, 195 2, the Student Coun- cil comprised a charter which was estab- lished as a permanent Heart Fund memo- rial in Mary Kuykendall Carpenter's name. The framed charter is located in the trophy case at P.C.H.S. and exempli- fies the meaning of the fund as ''a memo- rial to all other persons close to the stu- dents and faculty of Pinckneyville Com- munity High School who may be prema- turely stricken with any affliction of man- kind against which a fight is being waged by medical research.” With the establishment of this Memo- rial, February was designated to perma- nently be Heart Fund month at P.C.H.S Since 1953, a year has not been missed without the student body participating in money-making projects. Proceeds go to the American Heart Association. Clubs, organizations, and individual groups of P.C.H.S. have contributed this donation for research ia. oS Patti Little (right) and a new friend?

The first major activity for the club was a taco stand at the Commu- nity Mardi Gras celebration at the end of October. This money- making project helped to pro- vide funds for many other activi- ties during the school year. Spanish Club members held a Christmas Party with The French Club, giving Christmas an international flair. The two clubs combined to take primary responsibility for the Fourth Annual Heart Fund Fair in Feb- ruary. A first for Pinckneyville High School was The Foreign Language Fair held in April. Again the Spanish Club com- bined with the French Club to exhibit class projects about dif- ferent cultures and to sample various foods from many foreign countries. Other highlights of the year included buying sweatshirts with Spanish sayings and travel- ing to the Hacienda Mexican Restaurant in St. Louis. Spanish Club members enjoy the food at the Christmas party. 1979-80 French Club Officers: Front Row (Left to Right): Jane Mann — secretary- treasurer, Barbara Webber — historian; Back Row (Left to Right): Cindy Foutch — activities chairman, Kevin Schwebel — president, Jennifer Johnson — vice president.

At the community Mardi Gras celebration, they sold baked goods, crepes, paper flowers, Swiss chocolate bars, and chocolate Advent calendars. The French and Spanish clubs co- sponsored a number of activities dur- ing the year. These included trips to St. Louis in the fall to a Mexican restau- rant, in the spring to a French one, and a Christmas party where club mem- bers sampled a great variety of French and Mexican dishes and desserts. The clubs combined to sponsor the Fourth Annual Heart Fund Fair and a Foreign Language Fair in the spring to cele- brate National Foreign Language Week. A spring ‘‘pique-nique’’ concluded the year’s activities, and officers were elected for next year. 66 French Club Bernard Mann displays some of the wide assortment of food assembled at the annual Christmas Dinner. iV) Ma - 4 =) B an os 2 hop oY . 4 o. t Orr. 1 ' Ele eo RCE oe . ‘. ’ a ‘e- ' “th : - a Pe oa On -— Le French Club: Front Row (Left to Right): Tim McKinney, Tim Stewart, Mike Cheek, Jeff Chapman; 2nd Row (Left to Right): Scott Boggis, Jennifer Johnson, Lisa Wright, Cindy Foutch, Jane Mann, Joyce Bergfeld; 3rd Row (Left to Righ t): Mary Hutchinson, Patti Little, Laura Rushing, Brenda Schumaier, Jeanne Templeton, Don Wanack; 4th Row (Left to Right): Cathy Opp, Carole Tanner, Judy Mohr, Sue Valen- tine, Barbara Webber, Sherry Hicks, Chuck Anderson; 5th Row (Left to Right): Albert Slater, Ron Parsell, Tricia Pursell, Donna Hicks, Nancy Denman, Karen Carter, Lisa Montgomery, Rena Shute; 6th Row (Left to Right): Bucky Araiza, John Fred, Greg Epplin, Lori Marler, Belinda Chapman, Erna Rheinecker, Paige Presswood, Cheryl Mohr, Steve Smith; 7th Row (Left to Right): Debbie Grantham, Staci Baudi- son, Angie Flure, Betsy Hankla, Beth Bender, Julie Jones, Shari Caupert, Beth Emling, Kay Pyatt, Brian Carroll; 8th Row (Left to Right): Steve Tanner, Stuart Wright, Bernard Mann, Todd Lindner, Alex Robertson, Brook Walton, David Carns, Kent Lindner, Claude Rains; Back Row (Left to Right): Russell Black, Brian Tolbert, Kevin Hiller, Matt Cheek, Robert Diffenaur, Tim Johnston, Chris Stewart, Kerry Graskew- icz, Richard Bolinski, Chris Diffenaur Lisa Wright portrays the rock star ‘‘Blondie’’ for the French Club's French Club members discuss plans for upcoming Heart Fair. decorated car entry at the Homecoming Parade.

First of all, three class officers were elected who soon had a chance to demonstrate their leadership abilities by organizing a plan for a Homecoming float. Volunteers were recruited to construct it, and a theme of ‘‘We See A Vic- tory’’ was chosen. The Seniors received second place for their float and the Homecoming queen and king were Seniors. The queen and king of the Christmas dance were also Sen- iors. The Junior class hosted the Junior Senior Prom with Seniors making up the court, king, and queen. Next, the class officers assisted Mr. Hall, the class spon- sor, with the planning for the annual class trip to Nashville, Tennessee.

The first major piece was winning first place in the Homecom- ing float competition with their entry “‘Immunize the Red Plague. Next in line was the Tug-O-War competition during the community Mardi Gras activity in which the Juniors came up first again. The major activity of the Junior class was organizing and preparing the Junior-Sen- ior prom. Funds for this activity were raised by having a paper and aluminum can drive. Other pieces which fit together to complete the year included receiving class rings, taking college entrance tests, such as the PSAT and the ACT, and par- ticipating in the Vocational Needs Assessment survey. Now the juniors must look onward to the final piece of their high school life — their senior year. ah a tee | ie Ln ee Junior Class Officers: (Left to Right): Wade Graskewicz, vice-president; Jane Giacomo — secretary-treasurer; Scott Kimmel, president. 92 Juniors a Tammy Rhonda Cizick Cuccatti Kathy Dempsay Bob Diffenauer “$1.98 Beauty Contest’’ held during Lunch C.
