New Jersey 07631 J Used By Permission All Rights Reserved I've often wished I could save time in a bottle, and even though it is impossible, I will always have those memories of special times and fun times kept inside. This year has been a very enjoyable one with it’s share of good points and bad points, but I hope that each one of you will find one of your very special moments enclosed within this book. To help you out, I’ve asked a few people to share their special times with us and hopefully, it’ll help you to remember some of the best times of your life. Joyce E. Almquist 2 Opening Section I’d save the memory of our spring musical. When you work so long and hard on a project, you can’t help but to grow closer to the cast and crew. Both share the panic and frustration of the ominous opening night and incredible exhileration when the final curtain falls. By working with those people, I’ve gained new friendships and strengthened the old ones. — Bryan Holmes, freshman will always remember the second time the basketball team played Galva. We not only beat them, but also broke their perfect record. That game had to be the best of the season because everyone was “up” for the game. We went out to win, and we did. — Jeff Todd, senior don't Kovcil-donlujontlt- The memory I would like to save would be the night of Prom. It was so much fun! The hypnotist and her volunteers were so funny and the band was great!! — Sharon Malcolm, junior I would save the memory of the 4th hour writing class and our in-depth conversations because I got the chance to get to know my fellow seniors. These times gave me a chance to make new friends and memories that I can save forever. I think it’s a good way to end my high school years being close to the people who have shared a lot of my life. — Traci Marquith, senior Opening Section 3 The memory I would like to save would be when the Jazz Band played for the Victoria Talent Show. Everybody relaxed, “messed around” — had a general all-around great time, and we still played the best we ever had. Each year I think our Jazz Band gets better and this year, probably since I was a senior, it really meant a lot to me. I thought we were very close as a group. Over all, I think I would always like to remember that night at Victoria and I think everyone who was there will also remember it as a really fun time. — Shelley Snyder, senior The one special event of the school year that I would like to save was the colorguard performance during halftime of the Galva vs. ROVA basketball game. It really feels great to be out in front of all those people and know that you are doing a great job. It was also nice to receive a standing ovation from the Galva side before getting one from our side. — Michelle Cottingham, freshman I will always remember the community service that the student council performed this year. When they painted and drew a mural on the side of the Lawson Electric building in Oneida. It really shows they care about the welfare of the community. Also, I will remember the four senior cookie monsters (namely Marty, Carolyn, John, and Joyce) who were in my Accounting II class. — Mrs. Cain 4 Openmg Section I believe seeing over 30 past Kings and Queens on stage during the Homecoming Coronation ceremony would have to be the best moment of this year. We should all thank Tonya Lau-bach for her diligence and hard work in trying to contact all the past Kings and Queens in the first place. — Mrs. Harland My fifth hour as an office page was the most memorable for me this year. I had so much fun spending time with Mrs. Snyder, Mr. Sappington, and all the other teachers that came in and out during the hour. I really enjoyed all those times and really missed Sandy when she went away. — Rachel Ryamond, senior If You Could Save Time In A Bottle What Moment Would You Save? I would have to say the senior breakfasts at McDonalds, everyone seemed to have gotton so close this year, that the breakfasts just seemed to be a booster for everyone to become even closer to each other. We seemed to be just like one big happy family. — Sue Green, senior My 4th hour Accounting I class stays in my mind as something to remember! Although homework was a constant regularity, the class was really fun. I think I will remember most of all the people and the “rowdy times that we had in there. — Doug Carlson, junior Some of the most memorable moments of this year for me, I shared with my friends and teammates on the varsity volleyball team. These of which I am writing were most commonly entitled “pancake parties. ” For those on the team, it meant an hour or two at someone's house before a game. We frequently went to my home for the most part due to its locality. Upon arriving “home , we would immediately began “pigging out on anything from Smurfberry Crunch topped with blueberries to pancakes and Pepsi. During these sessions we attempted taking our turns at fixing the food. I will be as bold to say that these parties probably helped us to function better as a team. This concept was extremely visible against Alwood and other conference rivals. We had learned to ignore our fears, anxieties, and to relax and have fun. And isn’t that what high school is all about? I’m sure I speak for myself as well as many of the others, these memories will always be kept fondly within our hearts. — Tonya Laubach, junior Opening Section 5 It s hard to pick just one or two memorable moments out of this year because I’ve had so many. This year has been the best so far and I’ve loved every minute of it. Going to Farming-ton this year with the Jazz Band and Swing Choir was great. When the Jazz Band performed in the morning. I was terrified because I had to play a different part than was used to. We were all a little nervous, I think. Then after a long wait and listening to the lllini lose their basketball game, the Swing Choir performed. You have to admit, tripping over the threshhold to the gymnasium during the first song is not getting off to a good start. We stood still during the next song, so I didn’t have to worry too much. Celebration, our last song, was a lot of fun to accompany, since we had Micheal to play drums and Carolyn and Pat playing trumpet. At night, Swing Choir performed again, and we all enjoyed ourselves — even the mistakes we made didn’t matter because we were having fun. The memorable moment was when the Jazz Band played. We were all so tired. As soon as we started playing, we knew we had the first-place trophy clinched. We built from there, and by the time we played ‘Rock Slide, our last song, everyone was really hyper and smiling like crazy. We had our own cheering section consisting of the Swing Choir and a lot of ROVA parents. The feeling I had then is hard to describe, we played completely together for the first time. We were laughing and jumping around like little kids and we loved every minute of it. I’m going to miss everyone in Jazz Band — this year was special because we were all so close. I’ve learned a lot from the seniors — not only music related things, but how to really enjoy yourself and have fun. — Angela Olson, sophomore Although it is hard to pinpoint my most memorable moment, I think I would have to say the senior party at Mr. C’s house at the end of the school year. Band has always been one of my favorite activities throughout high school and have so many enjoyable memories to save from band practices, performances, early mornings, and late nights. At the party, the seniors all got to reflect on all those memories we ’ve shared together and enjoy each other’s company for perhaps the last time of the year. We looked over crumpled souvenirs and photographs of the past parades, trips, and other fun times we enjoyed in band. This memory will always be very dear to me because those people are very special to me for they have shared the laughter, the pain, and the pride of working together in band as one unit. — Joyce Almquist, senior The Best Times Our Lives. 6 Opening Section Band was the most memorable for me. I feel that all of the seniors in band worked together to help the younger ones. We realized this was our last year and we gave our all to every contest and event. Next year, I think that all of us in band will miss marching season and Mr. “C” a lot. Also, FHA is one activity that I’ll always cherish. We had so much fun — Halloween parties, Daddy date nights, mother daughter banquets, etc. These activities will be remembered by me along with all the added advice and encouragement given by Mrs. McQueen. — Marty Worrell, senior The first sock hop when the Wombats played would be the time I'd like to save. It was a night when everyone saw and talked to was happy and having a good time. You don’t have or see many moments in life when everyone you are dose to and care about are happy about the same thing. — Teresa Prince, sophomore Opening Section 7 Fall 9 Registration „ 10 Freshman 12 Football 16 Cheerleaders 20 Volleyball 22 Marching Band 26 Flomecoming 30 Faculty 38 Winter 49 Sophomores 50 Basketball 54 Music 64 Clubs 70 Juniors 80 Spring 85 Track 86 Athletic Banquet 94 NHS 96 Spring Play 98 Prom 100 Awards 108 Industrial Arts Show 111 Seniors 113 Graduation 129 Advertising 133 Index 143 Recruiting Station Always willing to answer student’s questions, Mr. Meredith, the school’s counselor, helps juniors Mike Rittenhouse and Jim Weber with their class schedules. 10 Registration It can be a beconing call or a mortifying dread. A symbol of the beginning or of the very end. You may be asking yourself — “What is this monumental event that can bring about so many mixed feelings?” Well, the answer to your question is registration time. To some, registration can be a beginning, but to others, it can be a symbol of the closing of summer. Although the subject may be very con- troversial, the routine is still the same. 4s the students trudge into the familiar school to register, they will learn their class schedules, locker assignments, and have a chance to talk over any problems with either Mr. Sapping-ton or Mr. Meredith. For freshmen, the experience can be a scary one. A thousand questions plague them at once. “What if my locker doesn’t work? What if I have my locker by him? How will I find my classroom? It is scary, but it’s exciting and fun at the same time. All the people you'll meet and make friends with and the new experiences are waiting for you. After you get your locker open and dodge the three seniors with chains that guard the bathroom. To all the upperclassmen it is a simple process and may make them start thinking towards the upcoming marching, football, or volleyball season, and the thousand other activities they can be in. Memories of the summer parties and sleeping late merge with memories from other years of sock-hops, basketball games, marching band practices late into the night, and the dead mouse you put in your best friend’s locker. You have to say good-bye to summer, hello to school. The seniors may be coming in with slight apprehension and disbelief that they have finally reached the top of the ladder. A long list of good times and not so good times stretch behind them and some are already making plans to make the most of their last and possibly best year of all. Whatever grade you are in or what your opinions about registration may be, it is a process that can set the mood for the school year, and set your sights on the good times ahead.

The Tigers Are Sharpening Their Claws If you could have read my thoughts during the summer of 1983, you would have encountered one recurring question about football: “Are we even going to be able to get the ball from the center to the quarterback?’’ As it turned out, we had a group of athletes conquer that problem and many more. What looked to be an extremely long season became in fact a very memorable one. Led by a small number of determined sophomores and bolstered by a group of fast-adjusting freshmen, this squad became quite coachable. Though lacking in numbers and often depleted by injuries, they were competitive with almost every team at the sophomore level. It is encouraging to coach a group of athletes who still believe that listening, hard work, and “how you play the game’’ are those things that make a truly rewarding experience.

Color Guard 29 Homecoming week began on a Tuesday instead of a Monday due to Columbus Day. Tuesday was Obnoxious Day when everybody dressed, what else but, obnoxious. Wednesday was Punk Day when everybody punked out. Thursday was Tourist Day with all those wild shirts. Friday was Tiger Day when everybody showed their true tiger spirit. Friday was also the day of the parade followed by the assembly. It was sponsored by the cheerleaders. It included a skit by the cheerleaders, two contests, one involved drinking Coke out of a baby bottle, the other, wrapping people in toilet paper, introduction of players and the band, not to mention a terrific Mr. T! It was enjoyed by all. Some overall opinions of the assembly were: fun, below average, fun but exhausting, very exciting, crazy, and wonderful. 30 Homecoming Join In The Fun Homecoming 31 32 Homecoming Homecoming 33 Seize The Moment Thursday evening, the night of coronation, began on the football field with the band marching their awardwinning field show. As the band finished with an enthusiastic finale, the crowd’s spirits were lifted with the beginning of the skits. After a few skits, the freshman began doing a rouzing rendition of Snow Green and the Seven Dorks but, in the middle of the skit they were abandoned by the crowds as a heavy rain came tumbling down. Coronation was then moved into the cafetorium, and after a very long wait, the skits began again. Besides all the classes, organizations performing skits includ- ing: FFA, Scholastic Bowl, Student Council, Foreign Language Club, Cheerleaders, and FHA. At right is the seniors performing their skit entitled A Date in the Park . After the spirited skits, Tonya Lau-bach took the stage and introduced all the past kings and queens of R.O. V.A. while they, if present, gathered up on stage. Then the moment everyone was waiting for had arrived, the announcement of this year’s homecoming court. The night ended with John Dennis and a tearful Deb McNaught being crowned as king and queen. 34 Homecoming Although they fought hard throughout the game, the ROVA Football squad ended up losing their homecoming game to a tough Galva team 29-6. After Galva made the first touchdown, senior Troy Marquith caught the ball at ROVA s 21-yd. line and went down the field for a 79-yd. kickoff return. The PA T kick was no good and Galva led 7-6. After Marquith’s electrifying run, the Tigers just couldn’t get anything going, and to the ROVA fans dissapoint-ment Galva controlled the ball most of the time and ended up winning the game.

Forrest Harris (bari-sax), Shelley Snyder (alto-soprano saxes), Amanda Asplund (keyboard), and Jim Asplund (drum set), received outstanding soloist awards throughout the year. However, it's not all hard work. Between an occasional snowball fight after practice and pigging out on pancakes after their performance at the Lion’s Pancake Supper and goofing off at the Victoria Talent Show, they manage to have a great time. They especially have fun with the trip to Kirksville, paper, scissors, rosk, singing campfire songs on the bus, and Kathy’s pig with Joyces oinks.

They also perform at the Christmas Concert. They explore new music, relive old classics, and occasionally get caught up on what s going on in the world. The Swing Choir is a younger choir this year, with about half its members being underclassmen. Even so. the group shows its ability and style at their first performance. the Conference Choral Festival.

After a many-year haitus, the Foreign Language Club (including a French and Spanish students) was revived. And, oh, what a year it was! The first activity was the Christmas party, which was held in Mrs. Swanson s (our sponsor’s) room. Excitement and amusement seemed to be the prevailing themes: everyone did battle with a pinata that would not die; French students got to listen to Spanish students massacre French Christmas carols and vice versa. The remaining activities consisted of a Spanish dinner and a French dinner. The Spanish dinner was easy enough, as most people know how to eat tacos; but the French dinner was another story. Everyone got a chance to flip their own crepes, which, when finally finished (after many tries) were enjoyed by all. For those of you who live for new experiences, excitement and adventure, this is the club to join. 68 Foreign Language Club Everyone loves to eat, as was shown by the good turnout at the Spanish and French dinners Here various members are shown sampling their favorite foreign foods.

Jan was undefeated throughout the regular season. Including in these 1 performances were 1st places at the Sher-rard Relays, the Lincoln Trail Conference meet and the District meet held at Sherrard. The later guaranteed her a trip to the State Track meet in Charleston. Her performance at the State Meet ranked her 5th in the state for Class A schools. Jan’s season didn’t end there. She was then invited to participate in the Peoria Journal Star Honor Roll Meet where she places 4th. This was indeed a winning year for Jan. But for us here at ROVA. we always knew Jan was a winner.
