They have retired from active teaching after this year, but their work shall go on to conquer the unknown. Shown in the pictures at the right and y above is Mrs. Ellen Tiemeyer.

In their concession stand they discovered all the sweat and tears that each preceding Junior class had suffered. They pre- sented a play for the public and a prom for the Seniors. Their year held both joys and sorrows, class rings, victorious games, term papers, a steady date, and the thoughts of becoming a Senior. Shown at left are the class officers, left to right: Diane Shinetlew, Treasurerg Hal Hunt, President, Paula Bramble, Student Council Representativeg Tom Lutz, Vice-Presidentg Steve Houts, Stu- dent Council Representativeg Teresa Wharton, Secretary. 9 M515 S : l' as so 1 ,ie ire? f X s. - l . .. ,Aa . ,. fi' 3 A- H ' The money-making projects for the Juniors were the stand during games and class play.

He reminds us that His kind are coming and the gray shall melt in the golden glow of the Sun. He also is a renewal of the promise that every black night of december fades in the shimmer of april, if only we will be calm enough to await the first Crocus. 1 ,, ff ,i l H 2- , sr, K 4' 'H' lil ,454 sophomores 'wif inner- 42 ,as Joyce Amthor Bill Anders Tom Bemberger Steve Bertram Beverly Blank Diana Bramble Randy Brooks Kenny Brown Bill Bunton Vickie Burke Chuck Carpenter Kathryn Carter Eric Chamberlain Cheri Chapple James Clodfelter Sheila Cooper Lisa Copeland Mark Cox Debbie Deering Rita Deering Mark Dougherty Alan Eddy Sheryl Elliott David Frede David Gebhards Lori Greenley Bill Hale Bob Hale Sam Harbin Anita Heard is N?

In order that the transi- tion be easier, freshman activities are limited. The main point of the fresh- man year is County Government Day. To be elected for a desired post, the Freshmen must make a speech before the entire student body. This speech is a shattering event, but helps the Freslunen gain self-confidence.

At Christmas time they arranged a Christ- mas Ball, chose a prince, John Sheldon, and a princess, Joni Barnhardt, to rule over the ball. At the end of the 1971 year, the eighth graders were eager to accept the re- sponsibility of high school, and eager to reap the benefits. in ' . :E -',i E1-5.1 Randy Alley J r,,ii :'?f?'f'f? 31, is C , Johnny Amthor C Q 'J' J -f C as- S if is s J f fi Mark Baker Joni Barnhardt .

It involves getting used to the routine they will have for the next six years. A general picture of the activities undertaken during last year includes modern math, a science program called AAAS, and learning to distinguish colors, tie shoe laces, write their names, recognize vari- ous shapes, plus telling the difference between right and left. These students are not graded on an objective basis, but are graded on their progress. After their first taste of school, they were eager to start first grade. Good Grief!

Nature was an important factor in the classroom. Forest regions and desert regions were studied in geography. Mrs. Rita Nancels class made note- books about wood in conjunction with their forest regions unit. They al- so made observations of gerbils in the classroom. Mrs. Janet Welch's class made notebooks on weather while studying it in science and making daily weather reports. Learning how weather reports are made furthered their inter- est in nature. In other subjects, the students studied poetry and wrote a few poems of their own. While learning the multiplication tables, the students discovered they were not as easy to learn as they thought they would be. A special party was given at Halloween with treats, ghost stories, and games. At-Christmas there was an exchange of gifts and treats were served. 3. 5 , W i My as SN is fi-. , HE , lr iff aa i --4 ,, rl 2' Marlene Haynes Marissa Heits Ronald Henry Christina Hosiiel Robert Jenkins Lesli Judson Sandra Kennelly James Kirk Jim Knierim Doug Knowles Bill Laverentz Carl Lewis Kelly Lingerfelt Phil Maheu Tammy Marple Gavin McCall Elaine McMahon Chris Montemayor Anne Morrill Shawn Mulvania Tracy Murr Sharmon Nielson Marion Parks Brenda Perry David Powers Robert Rice Martha Roberts Angela Ronfeldt Cathleen Rosembohn Mary Shaw Michael Sheppard Susie Smith Gary Soske Robert Stanton Sharmyn Steele Jana Stoner Joe Struthers Allen Stuart Jeff Stubbletield Kevin Sutter Dannye Underwood Michael Walker Michael Woodmancy Lisa Wharton Bobbi Youngblood Mrs. Pat Lytle Mrs. Rita Nance Mrs. Janet Welch Fifth Grade The fifth grade pupils enjoyed a very busy '71 school year.

Crowned at the '70-'71 Basketball Homecoming were King Richard Mak- ings and Queen Jonna Kirk. The coro- nation was a beautiful ending to a wonderful evening of entertainment. Both members of the royalty led their respective team to two hard-fought victories over the Mound City Pan- thers. It was during this game that Richard Makings scored 23 points to lift his high school career total to over 1,000 points, which is a remarkable achievement. Following the coronation, a sock hop was held in the gymnasium to com- plete the evening's festivities.

The student council, who sponsors the dance, worked very hard decorating the Me- morial Building for the grand affair. The decorations were beautiful, the corsages were very pretty, and the band was great! One of the sad parts is that all of the candidates can't be chosen. Those so near to the crown, but not chosen, are pictured to the left. They are James Forbis, Susan Jacobson, Donna Brockman, and Rick Leesley. One of the happiest moments is the crowning of the Prince and Prin- cess of the Ball. Their Majesties, Bob Christy and Fran Cox, are shown be- low the candidates. Another memory for those attending was a visit from Santa and his wife, Bill Anders and Janice Jackson, bottom right. X Ball The seniors weren't the only ones with royalty. Grades nine through eleven had their attendants to the court, too. Those representing the underclassmen are pictured at right. They were: fresh- men, Sherwood Duhon, not shown, and Marylin Perryg sophomores, Jim Clodfelter and Rita Hendricksong and juniors, LuAnn Manrose and Jerry Lutz. The dance was enjoyed, below, by most. If you didn't like the band, there was always sitting and talking with friends.

Sports Hi-Lites 1970-71 was a great year for sports, and one of the most important mem- ories was the state playoffs in football Each year four teams are selected from each district to play for the state championship. They are selected by their win-loss record considering their opposition. Rock Port, with an 8-1 re- cord, was selected. ln the semi-final game, Rock Port and the Lawson Cardinals were matched. The team, backed with great enthusi- asm by the town and student body helped cheer the Jays to victory. Law- son fans felt that their team was the strongest team they had had until their 27 game winning streak was broken by the Jays, 26-8. .ti K. 1' 39 it , 5. 5 , -2 t r: . . eggs 'fig - . . QTY 31 , .

Bac- calaureate began with the strains Cand we do mean strainsj of Pomp and Circumstancef' The seniors hitch-stepped in and were spoken to by Rev. Remi Duhon. He urged them to find the one truth in life, and live everything toward and with it. Having just returned from the trip to Texas that morning and having slept all day, tl1e trusty class of '71 wasn't at its usual peak of excellent alertness. But for commencement, they were in top form. The class song, Bridge over Troubled Watersf' served as marching music, and dispensed with some emotional problems asso- ciated with Pomp. Mr. Richard New spoke on the class motto, if there is no wind-row. He said that you've got to do it for yourself, because no one else will do it for you. Diplomas were placed in the eagerly outstretched hands of the seniors, and the class of '71 departed. in Q .s - A senior. All year long you try to im- press the fact on others. This is the big time and everyone must be aware of the fact. Everyone is. Except you. Oh sure, on the outside everything is defin- ite and secure, but not inside you. There is the part that refuses to acknow ledge age and change. Sometimes, right in the middle of serious stuff, you feel like you're about seven years old and you need someone to take care of you. But you don't tell anyone because they'll think you're strange. Then comes big graduation. You go through the whole thing smiling or crying, depending on whom you want to impress, and nothing ever touches and makes contact. You can sit there and watch it, and maybe it's a dream or maybe it isn't. Just exactly how are you supposed to know it you're awake or not? Sometime during all the festivities, you wander off into the private king- dom of the mind. You remember all the aged teachers, friends, enemies, and your achievements. Somehow you finally realize that these are nothing of permanent importance. They can only be lived now. You musn't and somehow can't, tell the younger ones of this. They must gain it on their own. Your time here is gone. You bungled it in several places. You want to just jump up and scream until someone feels your terror, or you turn purple and die. But you don't. It would look out of place. lt's time to go on and try some more. And you wonder about reincarnation. 4 no matter how we molest, build, and intrude earth will slowly return to claim her own. , f ft,,,e . ,t iel ' n g .. 4, k 9 .A t Q - 2: Q- 0 ' P I 1 A Q int 9 5' .
