The facts and computations must be handled by computer. It has been estimated that by 1980, the population of the world will be 4 billion, and by the year 2000 there will be six billion people on the earth. Plainfield is experiencing a growth in its community and a growth in the schools. This expansion is being met by the construction of a new grade school and an addition to the high school. The enrollment of the high school has increased from 1100 to 1300 students. Sched- ules are completed by computer. We must carry a plas- tic identification card. We have switched to seven hours a day because of shortage of classroom space. Besides this growth in numbers and change in sys- tem, high school should be a time of expansion for every individual. It is now that we experience an expansion of ideas and experiences. expands left Cranes and machinery are familiar sites, top center What was once farm land is becoming; bottom center area for school use. above Expansion is not achieved by one man alone, but through many working together.

Why study? Should the fact that the National Road was opened in 1833 be remembered? What dif- ference does it make if a gerund or a participle is used in a sentence? Most students who answered the Plainsman questionnaire said they studied to get good grades. But what do good grades really mean? Other students said they studied to learn something. Most good grades will usually indicate that something has been learned, whether the student realizes it or not. There are many who agree with one answer which read, “I don’t know why anybody studies, it’s nothing but a big pain.” Another student says, “Why else are we really in school for?” Study takes up a large part of a student’s life. We are in school at least 1,267 hours a year. That fig- ure does not account for hours spent on homework or extracurri- cular activities such as sports, band, plays, and all of the many organizations of the school. But there is a question here. Does study take up our time, or do we use the time to study? Everyone has his own special reasons for studying, or not study- ing, but learning is a part of this expansion of the person. — cannot be answered easily Activities fulfill above Chris Mutz works as cashier at Parks Brothers’, top center Pat Meditz helps a customer at Krebs Drug Store, bottom center Tom Teuffer arranges stock at the new Gambles, far right Greg Schaller tidies up Parks Brothers’ after hours. many student hopes ■ Besides school and homework, many students face making change, caring for patients, and spending the rest of the day on their feet. Why do these people spend the extra time and effort? For what are they saving their money? The money earned is ear- marked for special purposes in many cases. Students save money for college, a car, clothes, a bike, or just a little financial independ- ence. A job now may be the experi- ence needed for a better job later on. Some students are taking advantage of the Cooperative Work Training program. Twenty- eight students leave school at noon each day to work at various jobs ranging from a carpenter’s helper to a dental assistant. Mr. Thompson, head of the program, says the whole idea behind CWT is to teach the kids what working situation is really like. Hopefully, these students will gain a little practical knowledge in the field in which they are working. Thirty-six Plainfield students take advantage of the Area Vocar tional Center at Joliet Central. These students are getting a head start in the career of their choice. ■ A” 9 h . ■ ¥ - mm ■ Wm ■ ' ' •; top left “Spirit is being a part of a crowd like these homecoming spectators, left A homecoming float is a group project, center Graduation is a special time for everyone, right Bev Barnes is crowned Homecoming Queen by Pam Korelc. Tradition is a responsibility of Traditions. . . Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, summer vacations, twelve years of school — all of these things give continuity to our lives. They are expected patterns which give us a sense of security. The shiver up the spine of winning the football game, being crowned homecoming queen, sitting among your classmates for the last time at graduation, seems to be lost in a shrug. But Plainsman finds that most stu- dents would like to keep these tradi- tions alive because they feel school just wouldn’t be the same.” If all traditions were accepted blindly, however, no new great tradi- tions would ever be formed. Some students believe that traditional activities should be flexible enough to allow for individualism and imagi- nation. Each generation tests tradi- tions in its own way. This is the job of the youth of every age — to reshape the format of our lives. That is the greatest tradi- tion of all. 11 High school is more than homework, papers, reports, and fifty-five minutes of class. The meaning of high school takes on different depth and viewpoints for each person. The questionnaire showed that students felt there was enough emphasis on athletics in this school. One student felt that extracurricular activities, such as organizations and athletics, Give the student a chance to take responsibilities and to express himself.” There are several activities, however, that are extensions of the things a student learns in school. Music is a part of almost everyone’s extracurricular activities. This can be appreciated better with a back- ground in band or chorus. Music appeals to each indi- vidual in a different way. It is an art.” one student says. All of these activities are a part of an education.

In-class learning broadened by Living in the same place over a long period of time, one’s experiences become rather limited. Travel is one way to broaden experiences and education. When asked what makes travel exciting, one student replied, ‘‘Travel is exciting because of its newness.” “Seeing one hundred different people all at once and also someone special, makes travel exciting,” was another reply. Almost everyone dreams of traveling to Europe. Several German students are going to make this dream come true this spring. Most students that answered the questionnaire said they would like to travel to France, England, Germany, Switzerland, or anywhere in Europe. The second most popular place to visit was the United States. It probably doesn’t matter much where they went, just as long as they got to see, first-hand, the sites and people they had heard or read about. u far left This Volkswagen still gets someone where he wants to go. top center The sun sets over Plainfield High School, bottom center Tourists enjoy a cruise on the Rhine. above A ten-speed bike is parked outside Mr. Montgomery’s office for safekeeping. left Air travel is a popular form of trans- portation. tra vel top left Students keep up on news of the day. bottom left Kathy Giter- sonke and Jim Krupowicz decide what news is pertinent to the school. center Deb Polcyn and Jean Leupold explore the campus of the Uni- versity of Illinois, upper right President Nixon is greeted by the peo- ple of Illinois, lower right High school days near an end for many stu- dents. 16 causes varied student reactions President Nixon discusses plans to meet the energy crisis. Water- gate hearings resume. Agnew resigns. Fighting in the Middle East continues. Most students felt that the high school student should concern himself with current events. One student says, Pretty soon I’ll be old enough to vote and I'd like to feel that I’m doing the right thing for this world.” When asked to comment on Watergate, several students were worried about the future of the nation. I’m very disappointed in my country’s government.” Other students felt that the situation was blown too far out of proportion. “Maybe now people will wake up a little more and see what really goes on in Washington and see what happens to our money!” Still another student says, “I wish they’d get off my T.V. set!!!” Do Plainfield students want to live in this country? Some said they would like to live in Canada, a few mentioned Europe, but most wanted to stay in the United States. One student replied, “I would live in this country, with all the faults we have. I have yet to hear or read of a country that is better than ours.” Academics 18 learning traffic signals, writing themes, giving speeches, balancing equations, planing boards, preparing dinner, doing calisthenics, conjugating verbs, typing 50 words a minute, painting still-lifes, practicing scales, memorizing dates; yet growing in knowledge gained through hard study and concentration.

New district administration center opens District Secretaries Mrs. Rita Bennett, Mrs. Alice Hild, Mrs. Katie Wenck, Mrs. Dolly Davis, and Mrs. Helen Hill. The district administration has its own building. With the completion of the admin- istration building behind the high school, the district office was left vacant for the school administration. Those moving included Mr. Arbo, Mr. Hasenyager, Mrs. Mont- gomery, the district secretar- ies, Mr. Needham, and Mr. Eldred. 21 Mr. Dale Metzger, Superintendent. Mrs. Elsa Marshall. School nurse. Mr. Avon Arbo, Business Manager. Mr. Frank Laule, Social worker. 22 Specialized personnel help handle district Handling the district is a big job and there are several people who help Mr. Metzger. Some of these people are Mr. Arbo, Mr. Hasenyager and his secretary. Mrs. Konowalski, Mrs. Mar- shall, and Mr. Laule. Mr. Arbo is the Business Manager. He is in charge of transportation for the district. He also meets with the school board, helps plan the budget, is in charge of the payroll, and orders some of the school sup- plies. Mr. Hasenyager is Curricu- lum Coordinator. He orders teaching supplies and tex- tbooks. He also oversees the curriculum throughout the dis- trict. Mrs. Marshall, the nurse, comes to the high school once a week. She checks on the stu- dent health records. Mr. Laule is the district social worker. He works as a counse- lor, working with the families as well as the student. 23 Mrs. Louise Konowalski. secretary to Mr. Hasenyager. Mrs. Zoe Hogan. Reading Consultant Administration facilities expand The school administration, Mr. Anderson, secretaries, and Mrs. Moore have moved into the district office. The present book- room will become part of audio- visual after the partition is taken down. For the 1973-74 school year Mr. Montgomary will be in the high school office. All discipline will be taken out of the guidance area. More changes will occur after the new addition is completed. The addition will contain a mini- mum five hundred seat audito- rium, six classrooms, music facili- ties, a cafeteria, and about a thou- sand lockers.

Although there are no new courses or teachers, Mr. Ellis is now part of the English depart- ment as well as the Math depart- ment. He is teaching a journalism class which was formerly taught by Mr. Reed. The change from the module schedule to the hourly schedule has had some effect on the depart- ment. There has been less time to meet with the students and some classes that were only forty min- utes are now fifty-five minutes long. The department has also added some new textbooks at the freshman and sophomore levels. Seated Mrs. Roberta Ingrassia, Miss Marian Wilkens, department chairman, and Mrs. Chris Pauley.

The study and creation of art can help the student find a special part of him- self. Interpretations of ideas can be expressed in the art work cre- ated. The media center serves as a source for information on almost any topic. Books, magazines, and audio-visual materials such as tapes, films, and recordings all are available for the student’s use. The guidance counselors help students attain their goals whether they choose to pursue a career or go on to college.

Few changes have taken place in the Math and For- eign Language Departments. The Math Department has Trig Trackers for the Advanced Math classes and there has been an increased participation in the Math Contests. The lower level math courses and the third and fourth year languages are now fifty-five minutes instead of only forty. Personnel has remained the same in the Foreign Lan- guage Department and the Math Department has had one change. Mr. Saar left to become the principal of Grand Prairie and Mr. Neal became a full time math teacher instead of working in both the Science and Math Departments. 31 above Mrs. Carolyn Gudgeon, right Writ- ing an aritcle for the Herald News can be a hard job for the Current Affairs class but it was accomplished, upper right Current Affairs takes a survey on Revenue Sharing. far right During student teacher day, Mike Kenily took the opportunity to yell for any reason. 32 Social Science Department evaluates different teaching methods, makes visits to other schools To prepare students to be informed citizens, intelligent consumers, and objective peo- ple on matters of race, religion, or color is the goal of the Social Science Department. Mr. John- son is away on sabbatical. His place has been filled by Mrs. Therrien who was a student teacher here a year ago. The change from a modual schedule to an hourly schedule has given the department time to schedule more movies and to try different teaching methods. They use simulation games such as Ghetto” and “Con- sumer.” They also are looking into the possibility of group teaching in the future. All the members of the department will be making a trip or visit to another school to see some of these methods in practice. Jit Mr. Bob Cutter. Mrs. Betty Therrien, Mr. Jim King, Mrs. Shirley Best.

Business adds new equipment If one wants to get into the busi- ness world, the Business Depart- ment offers the student a place to prepare for such careers. The department has added two new courses, Business Machines which is being taught by Mrs. Rac- chini, and Business Law being taught by Mrs. Williams. No new members have been added to the department although Mr. Lambert is now with the department full time instead of only half time.

Grandfather clocks are popular shop project The school has begun to back the Industrial Arts Department in the last few years. Especially since the addition which com- pleted the three hundred wing and enlarged the industrial arts area. There are four areas taught at Plainfield, electricity, woods, drafting, and metals. A student can take three years of electricity and drafting, and four years of woods and metals. Woods is the most popular course. In the first year woods class, the student learns how to run the machines properly and makes a simple project. After two years he has enough skills to build a grandfather clock. By the fourth year he is expected to be able to help first year stu- dents. In the last five years, girls have begun to take courses in the department. Most of the girls take woods and drafting. A few girls have taken metals, but none has taken electricity. 37 seated Miss Carolyn Poltinger, Mr. Jim Hogan. Mrs. Sandra Tune, and Mr. Paul Crafts, standing Mr. Ed Eichelberger, Mr. Dennis Larsen, and Mr. Dennis Hieggelke. not pictured Mrs. Elizabeth Gent, and Mr. Richard Anderson, department head. Science Department puts new curriculum into effect Giving students the opportu- nity to study the main branches of science at several levels is the aim of the Science Depart- ment. Dr. Krezenski, former department head who is now teaching at Joliet Junior Col- lege, initiated a program that allows freshmen the possibility of three courses. It also allows those students who show an interest in science to take more advanced courses in their jun- ior or senior year. Quantitative Analysis, Quali- tative Analysis, Organic Chem- istry, and Astronomy are courses offered on an advanced level. Mr. Dennis Hieggelke replaced Dr. Krezenski. The department was headed by Principal Richard Anderson for the '73-’74 school year. Equipment was added for general chemistry and physics as well as the advanced courses. 38 below Larry Gerber prepares a combi- nation of polysaccharides with protein inclusions so that Mike Scott will have the resulting peanut brittle to eat. upper left Kathy Argoudelis weighs her pea- nut brittle ingredients, top center LuAnn Kosicek and Mary Lynn Schleeter flatten our their concoction of goober confection, bottom center Jim Tucker uses a geiger counter in I.P.S.

Teaching skills, knowledge, and sportsmanship is what the Physical Education Department hopes to achieve in the four years of P.E. a student must take. There have been a num- ber of changes in the depart- ment. Health, now a semester course, is being taught by Mr. Jursinic who was formerly employed at St. Joseph Hospi- tal. Behind the Wheel is again a nine weeks course and driving is being done before and after school and on Saturdays. The department has added a reuther board and a belt for the trampoline to the gymnastic equipment. There have been some changes in the women's personnel. Mrs. Anderson is now a full time guidance coun- selor. Her place has been filled by Miss Swanson who is a first year teacher from Western Illi- nois University. 40 seated Mr. Dennis Mattix — department chairman, Mr. Harold Lange, Mr. Bill Conrad, and Mr. Arnold Blaylock, standing Mr. Chuck Harris, Miss Kathy Cartwright, Miss Janet Swanson, and Miss Kathy Robich. not pictured Mr. Barry Dean.

Department offers not only the usual sewing and cooking skills, but also skills in knitting, crocheting, creative stitchery, and needle- point rug making. The Music Department offers many different activities in both the vocal and instrumental areas. Daily rehearsals, con- certs, and trips are all part of the music programs. Opportu- nities in composing and student directing are also available. Yet only five per cent of the stu- dents are enrolled in this department.

Juniors take sweeps October 11 wasn't just any day at Plainfield High School, it was the day of the Homecoming games. The classes had worked the week before, fixing their chariots and getting class members to sign up for the games. This year the Student Council replaced the water- melon-eating contest with a banana-eating contest. They had many of the same games as last year: tug- of-war, three-legged race, pyramid, and the chariot race. After counting up points for the games and floats, the class of '75 was awarded the sweepstakes trophy for the second year in a row. 48 top Seniors build their pyramid, left Seniors take off in the chariot race, center Freshmen get wet in tug-of-war. lower right Steve Yackley.

Tuesday was Hat Day.” In the halls hats ranging from sailor hats to sombreros could be seen. Wednesday was “50's Day. Girls wore knee-length skirts, bobby socks, saddle shoes, bulky sweaters, high pony tails, and red lipstick. The guys were wearing short, baggy pants, T-shirts and slicked back hair. Thursday was “Dress Down Day. Torn jeans, spotted T-shirts, worn- out gym shoes, and just about anything that was “beat was worn. Fri- day was “Green and White Day.” On Friday night, by a score of 14-12, the Senior girls coached by Ms. Kathy Robich and Ms. Jan Swanson beat the Junior girls coached by Ms. Kathy Cartwright. center Senior Kathy Gitersonke catches up with Robin Farrell, top left Noreen Loner- gan wears her Easter bonnet, bottom left Paula Swinford and Jean Smith dress like kids did in the 1950’s, bottom right Senior powderpuff cheerleaders put on a good show, far right Sally Talarico runs for the Juniors. 51 center Pam Korelc, last year’s queen, crowns Bev Barnes, queen, far left Senior class president, Hugh Zimmerman, escorts Jean Smith, senior attendant, bottom left Sophomore attendant, Carol Meditz, is escorted by Mike Mostyn. far right Chuck Chwasz escorts freshman attendant, Shan- dra Christian, bottom right Junior attend- ant Rita Yahnke is escorted by Junior class president, Jim Stasell. 52 Bev begins reign on Friday This year’s queen was crowned before the start of the homecoming games. The queen and her court were presented to the student body along with last year’s queen and king, Pam Korelc and Bill Fiday. As Bev was being crowned queen, the band played “Wish Upon a Star.” The queen and her court reigned over homecoming activities throughout the weekend. 53 top left The Pommerettes show their talents at halftime, center top Plainfield gets tackled by Oswego, bottom left The Class of 1923 poses in the courtyard, center bottom The Soph- omores’ Pea-ville Canning Factory takes first in the float competition, top right Varsity cheerleaders get the football fans cheering for their winning team. 54 .WREC£ HNI DEPT. namm.

The half-time show was completed with the band's presentation Salute to Disney. 55 ‘Fitch ’ brings old west The old West was brought to the Midwest when The Death and Life of Sneaky Fitch” passed through Plainfield, making a stop for two nights. The play was brought here by the Wig and Masque Club and presented Friday, November 16 and Saturday, November 17. Sneaky Fitch (Steve Duchene) is a no-good, low- down, son-of-a-polecat. He is hated by everyone in the town simply because there is no one else to hate. Anytime he is challenged to a shoot-out he won’t draw his gun. Sneaky is taken for dead after the doc- tor (Rick Kollman) drugs and robs him. At his funeral, Sneaky comes back from the dead. Sneaky, once the most hated man, suddenly becomes the most feared man in town. Sneaky takes over the town. Now, no one will draw a gun against him. Soon, he realizes that he was happier as the town bum. The doc, having skipped town, comes back and runs into Sneaky. He finds out the whole story. So that the town knows he is mortal, he tells everyone the truth. Since the town has been through a lot, they would rather see him dead.

While trying to save Dogpatch from being wiped off the map, Daisy Mae (Vancincia Polyak) tries to catch Li’l Abner (Andy Van de Voort). There's only one problem. Abner takes “Yokum Berry Tonic.” which makes him strong, healthy, and handsome, but takes away his romantic desires — although no one realizes it. Mammy Yokum (Lu Ann Lange) gives the rest of the men in town her tonic and they all lose interest in their wives. In the end, Pappy Yokum (Rich Payne) makes an antidote for the tonic, Daisy Mae gets Li’l Abner, and Dogpatch is saved. top center It’s a typical day in Dogpatch! far left Li'l Abner (Andy Van de Voort) apologizes to Daisy Mae (Vancincia Pol- yak) for not letting her catch him on Sadie Hawkins Day. bottom left Appasionata Von Climax (Linda Hewlett) takes notes from General Bullmoose (Kevin Smolich). bottom center The actors and actresses are hard at work rehearsing songs, below Ms. Duke and Mrs. Sprague, directors, speak out to see if it’s safe to come out. 59 Children receive gifts Two dances took place October 13th — one for the alumni at Marne Post’s Legion Hall and one for the students at the High School. Probe entertained a large crowd until 11 p.m., while the alumni were shown the video tape of the Homecoming parade. The Senior Class sponsored a semi-formal Christ- mas Dance on December 8. Tickets were sold in advance and qualified the buyer to vote for snow king and queen. To be admitted, each couple had to have a ticket and a gift wrapped present marked either “boy” or “girl.” The gifts were distributed to needy children in the community. The Girl’s Athletic Department sponsored a square dance, January 12. The money taken in was used for girls’ spring sports. The Mathletes took third place at the Little Seven Math Contest. Twenty-one math students traveled to Oswego on November 15. On December 8, they placed sixth at the Will County Math Contest. Forty-three students partici- pated, including five freshmen. Participation by freshmen was new this year. 60 top center Probe entertains at the Homecoming Dance, far left The Dancers take a rest and decide to just listen to the music, bottom center There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight! top right Barb Saar.

He first came to the United State from Kokkola, Finland, in 1965, when he attended PHS as an exchange student. During his stay, his home was with the Gordon Kents of Plain- field. As a senior, Markku was very active. He was a member of FIELDER. PLAINSMAN, NHS, student council, track, and Grand Choir. After Markku grad- uated in 1966, he returned to Finland to serve in the navy and study architecture. He is now married and lives in a town 50 miles north of Helsinki, where he works at an architectural firm. The Pro Basketball game against the faculty was held December 1st.

Lisa Harshbarger received a certificate for honorable mention. Speech contestants bring many honors The Plainfield High School Speakers’ Club competed in several contests including the Lit- tle Seven Contest held in Febru- ary. The club has also competed with other schools in the Chicago suburbs. The first place winners of the Little Seven Contest were Kathy Gitersonke, Noreen Lonergan, and Kris Lettsome. Jackie Tezak won second place. The third place win- ners were LuAnn Lange, Janet Set- tle and Bonnie Ashby. The speeches presented were not only informative speeches, but dra- matic interpretation, radio speak- ing, dramatic duet acting, prose reading, humorous interpretation, humorous duet acting, oratorical declamation, extemporaneous speaking, original comedy, ora- tory, one act plays, and reader’s theater. Jackie Tezak, a sophomore, won first prize in the American Legion contest during the month of Feb- ruary. She received a $100 savings bond and the right to compete in the next contest. In District competition Bonnie Ashby, Jackie Tezak, and Noreen Lonergan all won the right to com- pete in state finals. 67 _ scoring two, kicking the extra point, sacking the quarterback, breaking the tape, pinning the opponent, leading cheers, setting up the spike, jumping center, lifting weights, running sprints, picking up splinters, getting taped; yet growing in physical strength and coordination Football team learns new meaning of success During the closing week of the 1973 football sea- son Coach Barnewolt was heard by many to have said, “Some people measure success by wins, some by money, but I judge success on how well the kids play, and that is why I feel that we had a successful season.” Most people shared this feel- ing with the coach. Co-captain Ed Sendelbach told the coach that even one victory would make the football season worthwhile. The Varsity team, comprised mostly of juniors, ended the season with a 3-5-1 record, the best in several seasons. By out rushing their opponents 1783 yards to 1434 yards, the Wildcats placed the offensive team, second iq conference, one point behind West Chicago. Chuck Winterstein and Ed Sendelbach were voted most valuable players. These two along with Steve Mauer, Dave Spangler, Tom Drew, Mike Scott, Dan Davis, Keith Anderson, and John Novak gained recognition by being named to the Little Seven All-Conference Team. Drew, Davis, and Winterstein were elected to the first team while the others gained Honorable Mention. The Wildcats were further honored by having Chuck Winterstein named to the All-Area first team as offensive guard. Ed Sendelbach won All-Area Special mention as a defensive lineman. The captains, Drew, Sendelbach, and Winter- stein, with the aid of All-Conference and All-Area players, led the team through a successful year. front Sieve Erickson, Mike Coppert, John Novak.

The sophomore football team was just that, “a team.” The sophomores pulled together to post an excellent 6-3 record. The highlight of the season had to be the methodical rout of Oswego at homecoming. With several more breaks the team could have posted more wins. The loss to Kaneland was especially hard to swallow. The only serious injury the team sustained was Clint Norris’ sep- arated shoulder. Tim Murphy turned in a great individual effort with a 1000 yard season at his runningback position. 72 far left Sophomore quarterback, Phil Hollingsworth, looks downfield for a receiver as Tim Murphy sets up to block, left Taking the punishment all running backs have to take, Tom Drew still picks up short yardage, below left Murders' row is the guys behind the helmets and numbers, below Mrs. Bar- newolt looks on as the coach and team meet the competition. 73 Freshmen first to be undefeated The freshman football team racked-up one opponent after another to compile a record 9-0 season. Under the direction of Coaches Ivlow and Abbott, this group of inexperienced individ- uals were molded into a total football team. The team ran and passed well while the defense did bet- ter against the pass and running game of their opponents. The team had some great backs on offense that rolled over the opposing defenses behind the offensive line. Although the front line was small, the team had good speed. Their dominance over their opponents was quite impres- sive. Front Row Coach Doug Abott, Mike Winterstein, Scott Avram. Eric Johnson. Steve Locher. Gary Yunker. Steve Cline. Ron Evans.

Coach Mike Reed spurred his harriers to an 8-4 record, a fourth in the conference, and the runner-up spot in the PHS Invitational. After last year's standout, Mark Tucker, became afflicted with a virus, senior teammate Jerry Hendron took charge. Hendron was con- sistently the first Wildcat runner across the finish line. For his efforts he was voted most valuable runner. Sophomore Dave Wrath was voted most improved varsity runner. Dave Kinley, a freshman, was the top pacesetter on the sophomore team which finished 5-7.

Behind the scenes are long practices, small injuries, and lots of time, effort, and perspira- tion. Weeks of practicing drills and scrimmages might be put in just for one game which might last only an hour. Often an athlete will go into a game, not really giv- ing 100 per cent, but will put out that extra effort that is so common when under the stress of competition. Great athletes play with the small injuries, and often no one is the wiser of this. But those occasions do occur when an athlete is sidelined with an injury. Nothing can bring an ath- lete down more than having to watch his teammates, not being able to contribute to the team. Nothing is anticipated more than the return to action. 83 far right Keeping the ball away from a defender, Jeb Sillar looks for the open man. below right The Wildcats watch senior Randy Simmons pull down another rebound, right Closely guarded by a Geneva opponent.

This was one of the best sea- sons in recent history. Playing with experience and confi- dence, a goal of the Conference Championship was almost real- ized. The Cats did give cham- pion Oswego their only confer- ence loss, 50-45. Coach Mattix was extremely pleased with their working as a team, as several players had high scor- ing averages. Though the start- ing line-up was dominated by seniors, the junior reserves gained much needed experi- ence, giving hope for a repeat next year. below Randy Simmons fights for an open shot, center Jeb Sillar looks for an open pass, far right The crowd watches as Dave Bayer looks for a free man. lower right Geneva’s number 45 tries to block Randy Simmon's shot. kneeling Phil Wilmington, John Mahaffey, Jon Lindsay, Tim Don Theobald, Phil Hollingsworth, Kevin Jensen.

Defense was a strong point, but turnovers and offense hurt them. Coach Conrad felt that the players all gave a good effort, though their record doesn’t show it. He believed that the experience they gained will improve them tremendously. 87 88 left Jumping high over a defender, Will Polley prepares to get off a shot, below Driving downcourt, Dave Cassetto works toward the basket, center Sandwiched between Morris players.

Instead of lounging, a grappler was com- monly viewed running off the extra pounds after school. They felt the agony of starvation but it usually paid off. The varsity finished their sea- son posting nine wins to seven losses. Baker’s Bunch” finished fourth in the conference match, trailing third place Sycamore by only three team points. However, one Plainfield wrestler did win his weight class — Steve Erickson at 167 pounds. Four other Wildcat wrestlers placed in the confer- ence match; Chuck Winterstein at 145 pounds and Jack Harris at heavy weight finished second, while freshman Dave Cartwright at 105 pounds and Bill Chancey at 132 pounds finished third.

Starting four freshmen in most matches, the team compiled a 9-7 overall record, 4-3 in the Little Seven Conference. Coach Ed Eichelberger commented on the inexperience and slowness in the heavier weight classes. Despite the lack of team effort, there were individual standouts.

Although most freshmen were starting as “rookies” on the wrestling team, many gave fine performances and showed great promise. The freshmen were strongest in the middle weights, with Jeff Gawlik at 132 lbs., Steve Locher at 138 lbs., and Jerry Nelson at 145 lbs. The purpose of the fresh- man team is to prepare for sophomore and Varsity.

This is the first year that the girls were allowed a regular sea- son. Each sport played all the other teams in the conference and some outside games. Miss Kathy Cartwright, coach for volleyball and basketball, was pleased with both seasons. A new- comer to Plainfield, Miss Janet Swanson, also helped coach bas- ketball. The volleyball team had a fair season, two wins and four losses, but it took them some time to jell as a team. The games they lost were caused by either lack of con- ditioning or the inability to func- tion as a team. In basketball, the “B” team fin- ished with three wins and four losses. The “A” team had a disap- pointing season with only two wins and five losses. They showed inexperience at playing as a team in defense, but the girls showed enthusiasm and hustle for their sport. front row Lisa Knowles, Dana Payne, Kathy Johnson, second row Miss Cartwright, Mary Kenily, Laura Homerding, Sally Quast, Caron George, and Denise Tyler, back row Peg Policondriotes, Lupe Torres.

FSA was especially active, selling bal- loons at homecoming, spending a weekend at the Wagon Wheel resort, and ending the year with a banquet in April and a picnic in May. FTA furnished the idea for our student teacher day. Members of CWT, who are released from school early to go to their jobs, also took part in the homecoming festivities by building a float.

But with the stu- dents’ enthusiasm, homecom- ing day was turned into home- coming week. It started with Hat Day, swung into 1950’s Day, Dress Down Day, and finally ended with Green and White Day. To add to the change in the old Student Council, Rita Yahnke and Deb Warmbier took a trip to a state wide Stu- dent Council convention. top left Deb Warmbier takes time out from duties as Student Council president, above Rita Yahnke.

The term media center is now in vogue. In addition to sponsoring the annual book sale, several members attended an area library club meeting at Wilmington. Science Club too experienced a change. Now under the combined direction of the science teachers, the members took several field trips and organized the Third Annual Plainfield Science Fair. The Photography Club, although short on members, was long on accomplishment. These dedicated people put in many hours of work, taking and devel- oping pictures for the Fielder and Plainsman.

Though the group could never field a full team for competition, they overcame the handicap with high quality performances. At the conference meet, three individual event firsts were cor- nered, placing Plainfield fourth. Three members, Noreen Loner- gan, Jackie Tezak, and Bonnie Ashby, earned the right to com- pete in state finals.

The play, a musical adapted by Janet Settle and Lu Anne Lange and directed by Bon- nie Ashby, was presented to several schools, churches and civic organizations. It also represented Plainfield High School in play competi- tion at the Little Seven Speech Contest. Although a children’s play, Winnie-the- Pooh was able to strike a chord in audiences “for whereever they go and what- ever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place at the top of the forest, a little boy and his bear will always be playing.” 139 Seniors passing the constitution, filling out applications, registering to vote, ordering for announcements, renting caps and gowns, voting for honors, nominating a king and queen, studying economics, seeking a career, being top dogs, hoping to graduate, regretting to leave; yet growing in hope of using that which has been learned.

The nation switched to daylight savings time in the dead of winter, forcing people to get up in the dark to get to work and school. Gas became quite difficult to come by. And when it was available, it could only be purchased at an exorbi- tant price. Shortages were common. Paper shortages, fuel short- ages, meat shortages, and job shortages were all front page material. The integrity of our political leaders was challenged.
