NT lEVIENTS ■ Just Being Yourself As a senior I feel I have advice to offer to those behind me. Use your four years in high school wisely. Welcome opportunities to expand your horizons. I realize that parents and peers will have certain guidelines for you to follow, but try to be your own person just the same. I hope you look to the future with as much hope and excitement as I do. — Ginger Sweborg My far-out goal is to be the top nurse, working for the top doctor, in the best hospital. I really feel that I will accomplish all of my goals; maybe not the last one, but I will have a happy, fulfilled life. All my goals would not come true if it was not for the encouragement of my friends pushing me. — Mary Ann Rohweder This, my senior year, was one 1 was not prepared for. It took me half the year to realize I was actually a SENIOR. My senior year has been filled; it's been filled with fun and boredom, excitement for college and terror of college, impatience for graduation and dread of leaving the security I've known for 13 years. With graduation comes the realization that never again will all these people I've gotten so comfortable to being around be together like this again. In a way, one life is ending and another is starting. — Renae Blair How can the year be over already? In coming back to school this past fall I had one major goal (perhaps others have the same goal); I wanted to be myself. To some people that might seem a very dull goal, but realistically it can be a hard one to accomplish. This being the senior year only made it harder. Your parents want you to be the top scholar, dominate in the sports field or even hold a first seat in the band. Grandparents can take the parents' desires just a little further, especially if you are one of very few grandkids. Your friends expect you to do things with them and help them out. Perhaps you even begin to expect too much of yourself. If that happens you will more than likely begin to feel discouraged, burnt out, and depressed. When you simply are yourself you may have fewer friends, but you'll have truer friends. Don't try so hard to impress others. Don't play on people's sympathy or use their friendship. Be the best you can be and let people love you for who you are. — Ari Millen As a new student at ROVA this year I made a goal for myself that involved a great change. I wanted to make sure that I gave a smile to at least ten people every day. This goal was going to take a lot of effort. “All these ROVA people are new to me, I thought. “How can I smile at strangers! Guess what? It wasn't that hard! As I gave a smile, I received one in return. My attitude became brighter and my circle of friends wider. With my new attitude I'm ready to face the horizons of my future. As I teach Special Education I will remember to greet the students with a smile. My fresh feelings will give me patience to endure the troubles involved with my career and my family. — Ginger Sweborg Opening Section 3 A New Beginning Looking back on this year I can be proud of what I have accomplished. In the beginning of September my only goal was to survive my senior year. As the year progressed I knew that I would reach that goal with no problem, so I set higher ones, like good grades, finding a college, and becoming a part of ROVA. Now that I have reached these goals, I must look to the future, which is exciting yet somehow scares me. To think that for eighteen years I've always had someone watching out for me, to make sure I got everything done I needed to, and that I did not get in a lot of trouble. Now that time in my life is coming to an end and the thought of being on my on, so to speak, is sort of thrilling. My main goal, starting now, is to handle everything the world has in store for me the best way I can; and if I fail. I'll just keep moving straight ahead towards the new goals I will have. — Beth Ellcey Looking back over the years of my life, I know that this year I have grown and learned the most out of all of them. I know this has been true for many Wataga students, as well as the ROVA students who were here before us. For all of the Wataga students, this year was a time to start all over again. For many it was an exciting change, but for others it was a sad ending. Many friends, good times, special memories, and especially many dreams were left behind at Galesburg. All of us had to make new dreams and forget the old ones. Many did not know if these new dreams could really come true. I think the Wataga students were pleasantly surprised with the opportunities and challenges available at ROVA. I surely did not expect such an exciting year and so many new friends. From the first day, Wataga students began to be accepted here. In no time at all, the Wataga students could say we” when we said ROVA. Now it feels like I've always been here. I thank all my new, but old, friends for taking me in. I now pay tribute to the Wataga seniors, who gave up their last and most important year of high school to start a new tradition: a tradition of Wataga students becoming involved at ROVA High School. I feel honored to have been the beginning of something full of new horizons and new beginnings. I now thank ROVA for being a chapter in my life that will be written on my heart forever. — Deanna Bray Opening Section 5 The goal I made and accomplished for my senior year really isn't that big of a deal. It was just to make this year, my senior year, the biggest and best of all my school years, the best I've ever had. I have done that! I've had so much more fun this year, and it seems I've done so much more. I've had ups and a few downs, but I have to admit that this year has been the greatest of all! Thanks to my friends! — Sharon Malcolm I believe that reaching for the sky is what horizons are all about. Each of us needs to strive to be the best that we can be in whatever we do. For me that means performing my music the best I possibly can. By doing so, I hope to bring music into the lives of many people. This is my dream, my horizon, to share my music with others. — Kimberly Swanson Something very special happened to me this year: I made a new friend. This may not seem like a big deal, but to me it is. We had been friendly before, but this year I really got to know her, and I enjoy her company very much. It started very simply. At the beginning of the year I found that I sat next to her in a couple of my classes, and as I cannot stand to sit next to someone without talking, I began talking to her. Right away we hit it off really well. We may not be the same exact type of person, but we act very similarly a lot of the time. We laugh at the same things, so we can make each other laugh. It's always nice to have someone around to cheer you up (or at least try) when you're depressed. A little while ago word got back to me that my new friend really treasures this new friendship also. This information makes me very happy, as I have reached the wonderful goal of making a new friend. It also proved that to achieve your goals you do not have to be ruthless or cunning. In this case at least, the good guy did not finish last. — Amanda Asplund Opening Section 7 Students Against Driving Drunk I think a goal for the school would be to keep striving for a standard of excellence. ROVA has many excellent programs, faculty members, and students who have done their very best to make ROVA the very best. Now they must keep striving for that excellence. The band has won many honors as a marching band, a concert band, and a jazz band. The only way they can keep receiving the recognition and honor is to keep reaching for perfection. Perfection is only achieved when the band members have pride and determination, and the ROVA High School Band certainly does. The Industrial Arts program is a fine program that has taken many years to build. It has now reached a point of greatness. Each year there are a lot of beautiful woodworking projects that are entered in contests, exhibited at the annual show, and taken to homes to be enjoyed for years. The athletic program shows their extraordinary efforts each time they compete, whether it be in volleyball, basketball, football, or track. Long hours are put in at practices, games, and meets to achieve the best and to win. S.A.D.D. Officers are (top) Tracey Copeland, Chris Larson; (center) Bill Bjorling, Angela Welch and sponsor Mr. Kraus; (seated) Ginger Sweborg. This new organization seeks to prevent alcohol-related traffic accidents, a horizon all Americans are beginning to take seriously. The faculty at ROVA, in my opinion, is the best around. The faculty works very hard to give the students all the opportunities and options they can. By continuing to challenge the students, ROVA will continue to offer a successful curriculum in the changing world. The students at ROVA contribute so much to the school and to the activities. They don't just participate — they give that little extra to make ROVA a better school. ROVA's school system has met many goals and set a high standard for itself, so on its horizon is the 8 Opening Section challenge to continue that excellence. — Karin Owrey Many students feel like school is a place of confinement. Instead of thinking that way, we must be optimistic. Think of high school as four challenging, educational, but fun-filled years. They are years that are guiding you in order for you to become a success in the big world. For people to feel this way, they must not be afraid to try to join an outside activity. When a student belongs to any type of high school activity, that student feels a sense of importance because his or her membership is needed in order for that club, team, or group to function successfully. Respect is also needed for teachers as well as students. The I don't care attitudes should be wiped out and the I will respect and I want to be respected attitudes should be practiced. These characteristics need to be put into practice before they go out the door completely. ROVA is a school everyone should be proud to attend. — Carla Main Still Crazy After All These Years Mr. Cottingham leads the band to honor after honor — when he isn't busy lighting up everyone's lives with light bulbs, magazines, calendars, raffle tickets, and garage sale memorabilia. Mrs. Behringer gets us out of study hall to work on reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. On “account of Mrs. Cain, we now know how to type and consume. She also serves as sophomore class sponsor. Mrs. Dennis started our school's first high school special ed. room. That makes her really special. Mr. Grawe likes drafting so well, he even drafts varsity football players. He is constantly “weighting on his conditioning class. 10 Academics Our greenhand ag teacher is Mr. Gray. He also electrifies us and teaches welding. His favorite sport seems to be donkey basketball. From computers to physics, Mr. Gross has the right chemistry. He also sponsors the Student Council. Student Council sponsor Mrs. Harland also coaches Scholastic Bowl and TEAMS. Maybe that's why she can keep all those characters' names memorized in Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar. Mrs. Higus left us at mid-year to start a personalized learning center for infants, but Mrs. Stegall joined us in January. Do you suppose Mrs. Hannam, our versatile business teacher, says, A.a.a, space, in her sleep? This freshman class sponsor also teaches all kinds of other business courses. Academics 11 This picture is proof that Mr. Kraus has survived yet another year of behind-the-wheel driver education. This year he helped found ROVA's S.A.D.D. chapter. Mr. Laubach has taught us how to weld, sand, plane, rivet, hammer, lubricate, and carbureate; but it's too bad he can't craft his own Corvair out of walnut. 12 Acad Our counselor, Mr. Meredith, teaches us about interest in general business, but his principal interest comes every Tuesday and Friday nights during the winter. Mrs. McQueen coaches ROVA's first and only pie-crust team. From Singles Living to Child Care, she stitches, bastes, dices, and slices. By the end of the year, she is probably ready to rip her seams. Artists At Work Andy Nelson, far left, is busy at work painting his pottery in art class. Mrs. Crist, left, is always willing to help the students in her classes when they ask for it. Terri Walters, upper left, is sketching a picture; while Jim Stewart, upper right, is content painting. Sally Carlson, left, is weaving a rug. Academics 13 They've Finally Moved To The Head Of The Class Mrs. Mottaz puts a little English'' into the yearbook, along with a lot of hints, threats, and a lifetime supply of rainbow-colored passes. If Mrs. O'Rourke (alias Miss Boehle) isn't from Fantasy Island, how did such a quiet Mr. Paul doesn't have any fish sticks, but he does have junior class pizzas. He appears to have a great interest in history, but we know his true passion is the Chicago Bears. reading teacher get to be the cheerleading sponsor? 14 Academics The Mr. Rogers in our neighborhood teaches shop classes and spends his spare time tinkering with his camper. Mr. Ruehmer teaches our voices to sing and our choir to swing. Of chorus, he can be found touring five grade schools and the junior high and senior high. Mr. Sornberger likes to trap animals in his spare time, but they're not the ones that end up in the formaldehyde in biology class. Mrs. Joan Swanson, our Letterwomen sponsor, left after varsity volleyball season to welcome T.J., but she returned to make us run laps and smash birdies. Academics 15 Making The Grade Madame or Senora Margaret Swanson en-seigne le Francais et dice, Vayan uds. A la grabadora, por favor. Neatsy-keen Mr. Walck doesn't nit-pick when it comes to math classes. You can't Mickey-Mouse around if you want to pass his tests. Mean Mr. Whalen holds Twinkies hostage to keep delinquents from cutting into the lunch line. Detentions, calisthenics, and the mile are just some of the weapons in his P.E. arsenal. Mr. Williams has been tracking J.Y.D. sports this year, and on the side, he does a Cadillac of a job on geometry, algebra, and basic math. 16 Academics A Never-ending Most students attending ROVA seldom think about the underlying support structure of the district. From the taxpayers who pay the bills to the secretaries who file attendance reports, hundreds of people are directly involved in the educational process. Residents of the community are represented by the seven-member Board of Education. The board members, all of whom are elected to their non-paid positions, serve long hours, trying to balance educational excellence with economic possibility. V Representing the ROVA community and making decisions that affect the entire school district are board members (rear) David Ptaszek, Sandy Sornberger, Dennis Nelson, and Gerald McQueen; (front) Rollie Moore — secretary, Rollin Tye — president, and LeRoy Watters. Vincent Laird, Superintendent of ROVA District 208, is our chief executive. Board of Education president Rollin Tye (right) signs one of the many forms required to keep the ROVA District functioning. Our principal, Mr. Sappington, is responsible for the smooth operation of the high school. Mr. Sappington addresses the Pep Assembly at Homecoming. He needed an even stronger microphone to be heard from Honduras this spring, when he left us briefly for National Guard duty. Mrs. Sandy Synder, high school secretary, helps keep our day running on the right course. In addition to her secretarial work, Mrs. Joan Skender also serves as district treasurer. Mrs. Jeannie Johnson's duties include the district's record-keeping and attendance. Mrs. Shirley McCormick, our hot lunch supervisor, also prepares the district newsletter. Administration 19 Nobody Does It Better ROVA's bus drivers are Nancy Kemper, Sharon Chockley, Harriet Godsil, Katherine Bock, Connie Markword, Jane Nelson, Betty Harmison, Loretta Woodside, Gerna McGraw, and Vicki Mundwiler. It takes a group effort to keep the school in good condition. Pictured here are student employee Barb Martin, day custodian Jess Girdler, and night custodian Marcia Kaletsch. amrttvo 20 Staff The Secret Ingredient Cooks 21 Little Things Mean A Lot From answering the phone to picking up absence slips, the office pages help Mrs. Snyder in a variety of ways.

Not pictured are Renae Blair and Kris Morgan, who also helped in the lunch lines. Helpers in the Learning Materials Center are Amy Mundwiler, Scott Maxwell, Cindy Flinner, Sharon Malcolm, and Tracey Copeland. Despite some bad weather, fire alarms and life-threatening practice sessions, the R.O.V.A. Band came through with yet another successful season. The band began the year by marching in the Galesburg Labor Day Parade and collected its first piece of hardware with a 1st Place trophy in the Monmouth Prime Beef Festival parade. The Marching Tigers then carried on a great tradition by winning 1st Place in its class in the Morton Pumpkin Festival parade for the 10th year in a row. At the Farming-ton Golden Wave Festival the band was pleasantly redundant: it won everything in its class. These awards included 1st in parade band, field band, field percussion and field wind section. The band also won Best of Class for the day. In Metamora parade competition the band and percussion both received 2nd place. In field the band and percussion both won 3rd place. The band finished the year at the University of Illinois with a 3rd place showing in field band, 5th in field percussion, 5th in parade band, and 3rd in parade percussion. A lot of work went into the band's performances this year, and it certainly showed. 24 Marching Band Frozen In The Night Members of the 1984 R.O.V.A.

Color Guard, led by rifle captain Shelley Johnson and flag Captain Nancy Holden, had another successful season in 1984, proving that hard work does pay off. The color guard led the band in the Galesburg, Monmouth and Morton parades and won its first award with a 1st Place in field competition at the Farmington Golden Wave Marching Festival. At Metamora the color guard had another fine showing with a 1st in parade and a 3rd in field competitions. At the University of Illinois the color guard finished off a fine year with a 5th in parade competition and a 2nd in field competition. Drum Major Amanda Asplund also had a successful year. She began the year by attending the Marching Auxiliaries of America camp at Illinois State University, where she won 1st Place among single drum majors. At the Morton Pumpkin Festival she placed 2nd out of eighteen, and at Farmington she received 2nd place in field competition. At Metamora she won 1st in parade and 5th in field competition, and she capped off a fine season with a 2nd in field and a 1st in parade competition at the University of Illinois. Congratulations to this year's squad and good luck for next year!

As usual, the concert band had a busy year, filled with much hard work. The band started practice at the beginning of November and in December they performed at the Christmas concert. In March the band gave their annual winter concert, and in April they competed at Organization Contest. They received a division II rating in sight-reading and three division 1 ratings in prepared competition. One of these division I ratings was a perfect score, a very high honor for the band. These scores earned the band the right to compete in Honors Band, the state concert band competition. In May the concert band finished the year with the annual Parade of Bands concert and ice cream social. 28 Concert Band Despite a severe lack of experience, the Jazz Band had a really successful year. They started out the year with a first-place at Augustana. They received a disappointing second place at their own jazz festival and then went to Western Illinois University to compete. They made an incredible showing at Kirksville and received second place, the highest placing they've had there in several years. They finished the year with the Farmington Festival. Amanda Asplund (piano), John As-plund (bari-sax), Bryan Holmes (trombone), Angela Olson (tenor sax), Julie Paul (alto sax) and Michael Rittenhouse (drum set) received soloist awards at festivals through the year. Often times, performances without a judge are more relaxed and exciting. Some such performances were at the Knox County Teacher's Institute, the Lions Club Pancake Supper, and at St. Mary's Square. The Jazz Band had a clinic with the Illinois Wesleyan Jazz Band this winter, and any remaining ego was quickly stamped out of existence. All the jazz members overcame their humiliation, however, and returned that night to put on a concert with Wesleyan's band, where they put their new-found knowledge to work. The Jazz Band maintained their wild 'n' crazy tradition this year. Between performances and practices they had stool stacking contest, mass bowling competitions, imitation strip poker, and pie fights. They cruised downtown Kirksville and were promptly egged. Combining performances and pandemonium has always been what the jazz band does best, and it shows no sign of stopping now! Th-th-that's all, folks! Looney Tunes Rhythm __ Julie Harpman, Michael Rittenhouse, Amanda Asplund, Tom Todd, Tonya Laubach. Saxes — Angela Olson, Jerod Gross, Deanna Bray, Julie Paul, Christie Cain, John Asplund.

With a total of 11 members, the chorus again proved quality is more important then quantity. Performances this year included the Wataga Senior Citizens and the Galva Senior Citizens. The chorus also performed in the annual Junior Senior High School Christmas Concert. This year, they also held a spring concert to showcase the Junior and Senior High choirs. The 1984-85 chorus continues to celebrate life through music in all forms, and they had a great time doing it. 30 Chorus Swing Choir members are (front) Patti Behymer, Laura Holmes, Heather Engels, and Candi Fleisher; (second row) Kathy Laird, Kathy Carlson, Kimberly Swanson, Sally Carlson, Carla Main, Tonya Laubach, Julie Harpman, and Renae Blair; (third row) Julie Reynolds, Ari Millen, Deanna Bray, and Angela Olson; (fourth row) John Asplund, Bryan Holmes, Jim Robbins, Luke Marquith, Jerry Talbert, Bob Watt, Doug Carlson, and Rodger Main. “Music Through The Years This year has been a year of extremes for the Swing Choir. After a late start on their choreographies and costumes, they quickly got their act together and took first place at the ROVA Jazz Festival. Throughout the year they really worked and sang well together. They were repaid for their work at IHSA Music Contest, where they received a Division I rating. Once again, the Swing Choir Show was the highlight of the year. The third annual Showtime Review, Music Through the Years, was presented March 29 to a full house. In addition to the group numbers, several special ensembles and solo performances sparked the show. From the Good Ole Summertime to I Sing the Body Electric, the tunes from many years will remain in our memories for many years. Swing Choir 31 Members of this year's Student Council are (counter-clockwise from left) John Asplund, Michael Rittenhouse, Julie Harpman, Rob Kalb, Rodger Main, Kiersty Thomas, Amy Crouse, Ryan Carlson, Julie Paul, Chris Larson, Amanda Asplund, Kimberly Swanson, Ari Millen, Carla Main — Secretary, Bryan Holmes — Vice President, Tonya Laubach — President, Bob Scott, Karla Windsor, Steve Copeland, and Bob Watt. At center, sponsors — Mr. Gross and Mrs. Harland. Today's Leaders . . . The Student Council was active this year in keeping school spirit alive. The Council sponsored the Homecoming dance, volleyball tournament and badminton tournament. This year the members of the Council took it upon themselves to sponsor a sweetheart dance. Thank you to those who helped make this year more enjoyable.

What is the method of propagation for strawberries? What elements are found in table sugar? Fighting the time-clock as well as the opposing team, Scholastic Bowl members pooled their knowledge and compiled an excellent record. At Galva, the team lost to Delavan 153-128 and then to II-lini Bluffs 203-170, after leading for much of the contest. At Wethersfield, the team defeated Galva 209-96 and then lost to Pleasant Valley 244-92. At Wethersfield, the Frosh-Soph team won over Olympia 157-146 before losing to Aledo 175-137. TEAMS members took written examinations in selected areas of study at Carl Sandburg College, taking second place in Class A. Individual winners were Amanda As-plund, 3rd in math; Amanda As-plund and Ryan Carlson, 3rd place tie in physics; Bryan Holmes, 3rd in graphics; and Dan Reem, 3rd in English.

Due to a maternal crisis, Mrs. Hi-gus was unable to sponsor the RO-VAN this year, so the courageous Mrs. Mottaz boldly surged forth where angels fear to tread and took over. Although athletic practice threatened to keep staffers from their appointed tasks, they craftily held night meetings and managed to meet their deadlines. This year the staff tried to keep the captions fun, yet informative enough that in fifty years, readers won't have to ask, Who is that guy on the end with the plaid pants and the lampshade on his head? : So the staffers burned the midnight oil, munching on Lucky Charms and trying desperately to break their writers' cramps and think of another snappy headline for the kitchen aides. Other extremely frustrating problems included finding yet another position for forty-eight people to get into for a picture and trying to fill an entire two-page spread with only two very dark candids and a headline. A great deal of care and love and panic-stricken moments went into this yearbook in the hopes that your memories will be captured forever. 36 Rovan Staff Karin Owrey — Senior Editor Teresa Prince — Junior Editor Amanda Asplund — Music Deanna Bray — Classes , Music Missy Cantwell — Boys' Sports, Faculty Doug Carlson — Special Events , Clubs, Boys' Sports Stephanie Carlson — Special Events, Photographer Karla Cook — Clubs, Advertising Tracey Copeland — Faculty, Special Events Michelle Cottingham — Faculty , Classes Tabitha Gibbs — Classes, Faculty Loren Godsil — Boys' Sports Julie Harpman — Classes, Music Dena Hickey — Clubs, Special Events, Photographer Bryan Holmes — Clubs , Music Chris Larson — Photographer Tonya Laubach — Photographer’ Sharon Malcolm — Advertising , Girls' Sports Mona Marshall — Special Events, Photographer, Girls' Sports Ari Millen — Girls' Sports , Special Events Angela Olson — Photographer, Girls' Sports Kelly Quinones — Boys' Sports, Faculty Julie Reynolds — Clubs, Advertising Connie Scragg — Special Events, Advertising Angela Welch — Photographer (’Section Editor) The Picture Producers ROVAN Staff members: (front) Bryan Holmes, Chris Larson, Karin Owrey, Teresa Prince, Loren Godsil.

Although the main bond of the Foreign Language Club is (tada!) a foreign language, another bond that's j'ust as important is a healthy love for exotic locations, new experiences, and delicious food! The club was larger than ever this year and their parties were very successful. They had a Halloween Party and dragged all of Oneida residents into the festivities with a scavenger hunt. The lists were all written in foreign languages, so finding out what the items were was just as hard as finding where they were. At the Christmas Party the club sang carols in Spanish and French and enjoyed traditional Christmas foods from France and Spanish countries. Later in the year the club had a games night with French Scrabble, Spanish Bingo and plenty of food to eat.

Candidates for induction must have a minimum 3.0 grade point average. The club ceremonies and activities are based on long-standing traditions. NHS started the year by selling traditional Homecoming mums, and they continued the flower theme in the winter by selling poems and flowers for Valentine's Day. Because a snowstorm cancelled school on Valentine's Day, the flowers and poems were delivered a day late, but the recipients loved them anyway. (And their classmates enjoyed watching their embar-assment as they listened to the love poems!) Twenty new members were inducted into the Society on Marcy 26. New officers installed during the ceremony were Julie Harpman — president, Bryan Holmes — vice president, Angela Olson — secretary, Andy Ziehr — treasurer, and Dan Reem — student council representative. After the induction ceremony, parents and members were served refreshments in the home economics room. The annual field trip to Chicago, held on May 9th, was the highlight of the year. Students toured the Sears Tower and Brookfield Zoo. 40 National Honor Society At ROVA NHS inductees are: Front: Joe Carr, Doug Carlson, Micheal Rittenhouse, Tim McNaught, Andy Ziehr, Heidi Nelson, Steve Copeland, Rodger Main, Jim Robbins, Dan Reem.

The award is granted annually to an alumnus who has contributed to the field of agriculture. Troy Newman, left, and Jody Roberts won state-wide recognition in the Up with Agriculture Contest sponsored by Garst Seeds. Jody won first place with his entry, and Troy received an honorable mention. The ROVA Chapter Future Farmers of America compiled an impressive list of awards and activities this year. The chapter began the year in July with the Section IV Fair. Other competitions throughout the year included section, state, or college contests in land-use, livestock, crops, milk, parliamentary procedure, meats, and ag management. Group honors were awarded to the Crops, Ag Management, and Parliamentary Procedure Teams, all of which placed third in Section IV. The Chapter enjoyed its own activities, such as picnics, basketball games, and the continuing work on the Ag Experience Plots; but members were also involved in school and community service. Activities held on school grounds included the September Marketing Seminar, homecoming skits and decorations, a mock presidential election, and hundreds of hours of concession stand work. Community activities included a petting zoo at the Knox County Fair, painting Oneida fire hydrants, fruit sales, a donkey basketball game, and presenting programs for various civic groups. Several chapter members received special recognition during the year for outstanding individual achievement. They were Tracy Newman, section and district Foundation winner in Ag Electrification and first-place section parliamentary procedure secretary; Mark Stevens, section Foundation winner in Home and Farmstead improvement; Melanie Schwartz-kopf, second place section Crops contest and blue ribbon state Crops contest; Jody Roberts and Troy Newman, state winners in the Up with Agriculture contest; Jeff Nelson, third-place Section Prepared Speech; Loren Godsil, third-place Section Extemporaneous Speech; and Jeff Pemberton, fourth-place Section Creed Speaking Contest. Trips taken this year included the Farm Progress Show, David Lindsey's Heritage Award Tour to Washington, D.C., leadership camps and retreats, Tracy Newman's CSC Honors Tour to the Chicago Board of Trade, and the National FFA Convention in Kansas City. Even with all these activities, members managed to continue to up-grade their projects, and Mr. Gray survived and thrived during his first year as advisor.

This year FHA-HERO celebrated its 40th birthday. What a productive 40 years it has been! At age 40, it would seem that surely FHA would be slowing down and acting its age, but instead it's better than ever — and more active than ever. FHA-HERO strives to make us the leaders of tomorrow, the best that we can be. In the past, FHA-HERO has been almost always made up of the female gender. However, recently many men have become active in FHA nation-wide. Although the number of male members is thriving, the ratio of males to females is still 25 to 1, not bad odds for the guys. Regardless of sex or race, FHA-HERO nationwide is active, and our ROVA FHA group has been quite active ourselves, starting September with a smashing bake sale, followed by a weiner roast. We then attended a Section Rally at Sandburg Mall. The brilliant baking talents of many group members were appreciated at the Homecoming Dance in the form of refreshments. On Oct. 29, all our crazy members dressed up and trick-or-treated for UNICEF, followed by a blastful Halloween Party. We sold many pies for our Annual Pie Bake in November — and really got into the work of making them. In December we were visited by a very jolly Santa Paul, who gave each of us an apple, a smile, and a homemade gift from a fellow member. On Daddy Date night, we were again defeated in volleyball, but wait until next year. The last major event was the state Leadership Convention with the theme “Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today. Seven girls and two chaperones attended the fun-filled, adventurous weekend. They won't ever forget it — and neither will Mr. and Mrs. McQueen'. FHA-HERO may be 40 years old, but it's still a young, vital, and booming group. Meet The Super Sports . . .

To conclude the year, the club had a relaxing golf outing to Corn Cob Green. 46 Lettermen's Club Of R.O.V.A.

The 1984-85 season brought the introduction of J.Y.D. to ROVA High School. That mean Junk Yard Dog spirit started slowly, after some close losses early in the season. Then the dog began to bite, and the team went on a 14-3 tear, narrowly losing the conference championship to Cambridge. In the Yorkwood Tournament, the team won their first-round game, easily defeating LaHarpe 73-42. In the quarter-finals the team met Dallas City. We destroyed Dallas City 46-31, which was a big win for us said coach Scott Williams. The team defeated Winola for the third time in the season in the semi-finals, sending the Tigers to meet Warren in the championship game. ROVA lost the title game on a last-second shot from deep in the corner at the end of the second overtime.

Masters Of The Game Football and basketball games draw the most spectators at ROVA, but track participants often work long hours for less recognition. Shawn Johnson set a new school record in pole vaults three times during the season. His final effort at the district track meet (13.0 feet) enabled him to qualify for the State Track Meet at Charleston. Shawn failed to make the finals, but gained valuable experience that should help him when he hopefully returns to State next year, Coach Sornberger said. Our 1600-meter relay team, Steve Copeland, Andy Daniels, Jon Nelson, and John Flack, broke a 17-year-old record by running a time of 3:39.4 at the District Meet. Also, Shawn, Andy, and the 3200-meter relay team were first place finishers at the Lincoln Trails Conference Meet. With ten lettermen back, we are looking forward to next year, Coach said.

The band, players and many floats paraded through the streets of Oneida with the seniors winning first prize in the float competition. This is the third year in a row that the class of 85 has won the float competition. The class of 85 should be congratulated on a fantastic achievement. Second place in the float competition went to the sophomore class. 76 Homecoming Let's Relive The Fun 77 Now The Excitement 78 Homecoming Really Begins!! The pep assembly was held after the parade on Friday. At the pep assembly the cheerleaders gave a routine and the FFA performed a skit. The coaches introduced players and made comments about the team. One noticable event at the pep assembly was the fantastic band spirit! The pep assembly's main objective is to get everyone ready for the homecoming game, and this year it did just that.

Tuesday was tourist day with wild Hawaiian shirts and cool sunglasses. Wednesday was the day for all to dress like their favorite movie star! Thursday was the ever popular punk rock trash bag day when students dressed in their favorite brand of trash bag and totally punked out ! Friday was Tiger Day with everyone getting that R.O.V.A. Tiger Spirit. Throughout the week much work was also put into the building of the floats for the Homecoming Parade. Homecoming 83 Backtracks . Ben Thomas, soph. Dan Reem, soph.

If you've ever wondered how to break up winter monotony, here's the answer: have a dance! The Student Council wisely heeded this advice and sponsored the first Valentine's dance in many years. Couples and friends alike came to dance to the music of a live dee-jay, and all night long, feet were flying. Everyone had fun and acquired the much-needed enthusiasm to make it all the way to spring.

Dr. Deceivo was his name, magic was his game!! After the show, there was dancing to the music of Eternity Road. All who attended had a great and exciting time. Prom 93 The Nuts And Bolts Of It Pictured clockwise from top left: The men behind the show, high school industrial arts teacher Mr. Laubach and junior high industrial art teacher Mr. Rogers.

Junior Duane Denniston stands behind his walnut pedestal table. 94 Industrial Arts Show For one week-end every May, the Learning Materials Center is changed from a library to an art gallery. The tables and chairs are removed, and student projects ranging from oil paintings to wa-terbeds are brought in from the far reaches of the school. Spectators from all parts of the school district — and outside the school district —come to admire the students' handiwork. This year's Art and Industrial Arts Show was held May 26, and it contained the usual complement of outstanding projects. For some of the students, the show was not the first time their work was exhibited. Each year, outstanding projects are selected to represent ROVA in the Western Illinois University Industrial Arts Show. 1985 Industrial Arts Awards Golden Hammer Michael Ritten-house Golden Hammer Wayne Smith Silver Hammer Duane Denniston Silver Hammer John Flack Silver Hammer Shawn Johnson Industrial Arts Show 95 A Cut Above The Rest Among those honored at the Annual Awards Assembly were, clockwise from right, English Award winners, Spanish Poetry participant Bryan Holmes, English Writing Talent Search poetry winner Amanda Asplund, WIU Language Festival French participants, and Senior Athletic Participant award winners Tonya Laubach and Andy Daniels.

They were asked to choose one boy and one girl for each personality. There were nine categories which seniors were chosen for. Several seniors were asked if they thought the personalities were chosen fairly. One classmate said, “I think they should have been chosen later in the year so the new Wataga students could get to know their classmates better and their classmates could get to know them better. Another senior responded A lot of people just put down their friends or what others around them put. Senior personalities are voted on every year by the entire senior class. A picture is then taken of each couple and is put in the yearbook. Several seniors were asked who they thought were the most appropriate couple for the personality they got. Most everyone who was polled agreed that Kiersty Thomas and Steve Copeland made the most appropriate Class Flirts. The senior personalities are a tradition in the ROVAN yearbook and enjoyed by most everyone.

Before a student may realize, he has become a senior. Many lessons are taught within a school year, but one of the most important can't be taught by any teacher. Making a friend and being a friend is a task everyone must accomplish for himself. For some seniors, several friendships have lasted for almost twelve years, while others are just beginning. These friendships are not measured by how long the friends have known one another, but rather by how much they have meant to each other. Saying good-bye is never easy. Yet this is not the end, but the beginning. For friends may be found wherever they are sought. There are special relationships that seniors have with their friends. Friends many times voice the same fears or feel the same joys. Friendship becomes a place to seek encouragement, a feeling of security and a ray of sunlight in the darkest hour. That particular person who was chosen as a friend constantly shares and gives, Most Athletic but does not ask for anything in return but for you to be yourself. Todd Foglesong and Tonya Laubach Class Flirts Steve Copeland and Kiersty Thomas In high school, friendships weather both good and bad times. After graduation, many of these special friendships will be shattered or lost. Complications, bad times, busy schedules, and long distances too often dissolve friendships. But the memories of a friendship always stay. Remembering the fun and the laughter, the problems and fears .. . Memories of the dances, vacations, teachers and talking . . That shoulder to cry on or that special pal to bum around with ... It will be hard to keep track of where she went to college or where he got a job, but those friendships will never be forgotten. True friendship is the most cherished possession, and there will always be a special place in the heart for high school friends.

Many people (especially underclassmen) wouldn't think so. In fact, seniors may appear cocky and self-assured. But most seniors will admit that they are somewhat scared of what will happen after graduation day. One of the biggest fears for a senior is choosing a college. This is a major decision. Many high school students start thinking about this as soon as their freshman year. But most students still haven't decided on a college by the time they are seniors. In November Renae Blair asked many seniors about their plans after graduation. Of 49 asked, 13 didn't know for sure what career they would choose, and about 20 were not sure where they would go to college. After narrowing the college choices down to about two or three or four, then there is the worry of being accepted. Getting accepted usually depends on good grades and college board tests like the ACT and the SAT. When asked how he felt about the ACT test, Dan Shragal said, I was really worried about my score on the test. I was afraid my score would hurt my chances of getting into college. Seniors usually do not look forward to the best and are relieved when the results are back. Some seniors do not plan on going to college but want to enter the job market right after graduation. These people have plenty of worries also. The unemployment rates are high, and good jobs are hard to find. Seniors are usually ready to move out of their parents' homes during the summer after graduation. At least they like to tell people this, but inside they have their doubts. Moving out is a big step, especially if it is to a place a long way from home. Deanna Bray admitted, You start off with a lot of plans for going far away, but as the dreams change to reality, the choice of a college narrows down because of prices and because of the distance from home. Really! Moving out means taking care of yourself and not depending on your family every day. Most of all, it means leaving many of your friends behind. So when you are a senior or you see a senior who looks very self-assured, remember that seniors take on a lot of responsibility, decisions, and fears.
