The Dedication It may have been a rough year - - but, it was a good one for us overall. After James Meredith enrolled at the University of Mississippi and the so-called Cuban crisis a fort- night before the national elections, the year at Reavis Cwith the obvious exception of a faculty member's un- timely and apparently unfair passingj has been one of innovation and achievement providing honor enough for all at Reavis to share. This statement does not overlook our problems, for any group as large as we now are C1806 studentsj, must have them, for the most part, however, this past year our accomplishments exceeded our problems. PK Pl: PK In warm September we enjoyed, or at least ex- perienced, half days of school for a week, until our pleasant, new cafeteria was completed. In addition to the faculty's numbering an all-time high of ninety-two, four more teachers received master's degrees, thereby improving student instruction, and continuing the trend of the last several years, and bring- ing the number of Reavis master's degrees to thirty- five - - nearly forty percent of the staff! For the first time, a Reavis play, Beggar On Horseback, ran for two successive nights, as did, late in March, the Variety Show, and in May, '5Auntie Mame - - the senior class play. Our choral director, in addition to leading two outstanding church choirs, was selected to serve as as- sistant conductor of the Apollo Music Club, a group of Midwestern, if not national, prominence. After a white Christmas vacation, we shivered through the second coldest day of the century C18 be- low zero on January 23rdD, which just happened to be the first day of semester exams. About this time, the roomy, new northwest wing opened, as did the Reavis Paperback Shop, a service project of the yearbook staff. Throughout the year we were favored with the company and instruction of our exchange teacher from West Hartelpool, England, who added so very much to our understanding of England, its literature, and, life itself. An outstanding Reavis senior was picked on the basis of high scores in national competition to be a Merit Scholar - - setting the pace for other younger Reavis intellectuals. ln March, Reavis was ably repre- sented by three potential scholars on NBC-TV's f'It's Academic . Not to be outdone by our powerful, ranked grid- iron squad, Reavis' best cagers, in addition to having the league's top two scorers, proved that Reavis sports have come of age by winning more games in a season than any previous Reavis basketball team. Upholding tradition, the defending state wrestling champions cop- ped the conference title again, qualified eight men for sectional competition, and three for state, eventually taking eighth at Champaign, and had a team member voted the outstanding wrestler of the state tournament. Continuing his efforts to keep our school in the vanguard by providing Reavis with the latest library equipment and techniques, our head librarian, a year after serving as president of the state library association, was nominated for a national office of the American Library Association. ln February, after days of speculation, our band director received the absolute honor of being named to a most coveted position - - conductor of the Oak Park Symphony Orchestra. The list should by no means stop here, for many groups, including the unusually fine drama club, other teams, organizations, and individuals, helped Reavis to a fine year. Can these accomplishments be traced to one per- son's spirit or attitude affecting others around him? Probably not, but many will be forced to allow that certain Reavis faculty members contribute more in providing the encouragement and atmosphere neces- sary to personal and professional growth - - persons who, in other words, share in another's joy of accom- plishment. Such an individual is about to be singled out. This is not a personal testimony necessarily, rather it is merely a reflection of nearly all persons, if not all, who deal with and observe and appreciate the efficient, direct, and prompt manners possessed and practiced by a particular man - - a person who is respected because of his respect for others, a man whose service to Reavis High School approaches a decade and a half, a man whose crisp management techniques contrast but com- plement the slightly less stringent approach of the Su- perintendent - - creating the strong one-two admini- stration possessed by Reavis High School, the man to whom this 1963 ARIES is dedicated, the Assistant Superintendent, Mr. John W. Shultz. Mr. Shultz's regular day at school begins before eight and lasts until four-fifteen. An athletic event or other school function often calls for a fifteen hour day. In addition to being the Assistant Superintendent, ful- filling the demands of his position that only he can, he is a man who can do well nearly any job that needs to be done at school. To be sure, he often does minor routine jobs, in order to keep in touch with the phases of his job that could be overlooked all too easily. Con- versly, he is comfortable making important decisions regarding school policy and procedure. He is our bus scheduler, maintainence crew organizer, substitute Cand formerj dean, money counter, and check writer - - and yet, with all this, how many times has he taken time out to aid someone in opening a stubborn locker. After receiving his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Wisconsin, he was a faculty member at Rock Falls High School under Superin- tendent Thokey before coming to our District 220 at the mid-century. An absolute non-drinker as well as non-smoker, he is most assuredly not a non-joker - - often seen or heard causing a healthy laugh, while enjoying one him- self. Typical of his practical nature is his grey 1950 Plymouth which he has driven to school daily for years. Indicative of his policy of doing things punctually in the proper way is a saying which he occasionally offers: lf everyone were in the right place at the right time doing the right thing, there'd be very few prob- lemsf' e At the heart of good years, for good schools, stand good administrators. For this year and school: Mr. John Shultz, to whom it is an honor to dedicate this book. V t Mr. John W. ,hultz 1
