BULLDOG imr MEMORABLE YEj4R FOREWORD The high school years being stages of growth and transition are filled with memorable activities. Rushing to classes, worrying over homework, scurrying to club meetings, traveling to athletic events, and enjoying so- cial affairs keep all on that busily- turning merry-go-round of life and permit tomorrow’s citizens to live full lives today. Capturing a few of the many memorable aspects of the school year and recording them for your future enjoyment has been the guid- ing aspiration of your 1964 BULL- DOG staff. To assist you in recall- ing those cherished memories, we have coaxed our friend Butch, a gen- tlemanly bulldog, to guide you on a tour of those facets that blend into a school year - particularly, “That Memorable Year at Sparta High School: 1963-64!” 1963 - 2 AT SPARJA HIGH SCHOOL: TABLE OF CONTENTS . . .FROM BEGINNING TO END 4 . . .WITH 560 PERSON- ALITIES 22 . . .OF EXPLORING KNOWL- EDGE 50 . . .OF ORGANIZATIONS AND ACTIVITIES 82 ...

CURTIS L. TRAINER ADMfNfSTRA UNIC BB AND The Sparta Township High School has been an outstanding high school in Southern Illinois since its organi- zation in 1917. With the formation of the Sparta Community Unit, it was necessary to change the name to Sparta High School. This change of name in no way changes the long and outstanding traditional record of achievement set by the many students who have grad- uated from this institution. Superintendent of Sparta Community Unit 52 tive department - TWEEN CO-fOOL COMMUNfTV It is the responsibility of you who are the first to graduate from the Sparta High School and the many students who will follow after you to maintain the high scholastic record and co-curricular accomplishments which have become a tradition. On On behalf of the Board of Educa- tion and administration of Sparta Community Unit, we wish you suc- cess. MRS. BARBARA LYONS Secretary to Board of Education MISS ARLENE BURKE Part-time Office Worker BOARD OF EDUCATION (1 to r): Lawrence Wilson, John Veath, Harold Bollinger, Leonard Ernsting, Austin Cairns, Leland Scheutz, Lawrence Campbell. PRINCIPAL MAIN1A1NC STUDENTS’ TN7EREST MR. HAROLD HUCH PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE You have nearly completed one year - two years - three years - or faur years of high school. What have you done other than put in time? If you have done nothing, you have learned nothing; if you have learned nothing, you are poorly prepared for the life you will face when you leave here. The way in which you face life will determine success or failure for you as an individual; it will determine your con- tribution to your community, to your state, to your nation, and to the world. It is the desire of the administration, the faculty, and the staff of Sparta High School that you learn well. We hope that you have developed a philosophy of life, a sense of values, an ethical and a moral code, and a spiritual faith that will make your adventure into life successful. If you have done this, you have acquired an education; if you are doing this, you are acquiring an education. To you we say, Congratulations.

Here, sophomores take aptitude test. Receiving information on careers, Bill Suggs found Mr. Deason a cheerful and helpful advisor. Jeanie and Rusty patiently wait their turn Lyons. Sharon and Steve plan futures by scanning career booklets. A tape recorder helps the guid- ance office maintain top effi- ciency. In recent years the importance of a guidance department has increased tremendously. Our counselors prove to be a great help not only to those students who are college bound but also to those interested in vocational training. One of the counselors, Mrs. Lyons, graduated from Southern Illinois University with a B. S. in education. The other counselor, Mr. Deason, obtained a B. S. degree from University of Illi- nois and an M. S. degree from Southern Illinois University. VOCAnONAL agrjojuvrb PR, ER4RES STUDENTS FOR BETTER LMNS MR. PAUL BROWN Analyzing the soil, studying mod ern farming methods, and judging livestock, are only a few of the many opportunities offered to the boys who take vocational agricul- ture. Mr. Paul Brown, the agriculture teacher, obtained a B. S. in Voca- tional Agriculture from University of Illinois. What a tire to change! Mr. Brown uses pictorial display in discussing types of hogs. 59 TALENTS MR. ROBERT MOELLER Fine arts can be entertaining as well as educational. The art and music students have gained much through this program. Mr. Moeller, the instructor, teaches art and music understanding, in addition to band and chorus. He received a B.M.E. degree from Murray State College. Moeller melody, g“ls! Above: Long rehearsals, tedious drills result in polished Blue and White Band performances.

Nearly always succeeding, he often has thrilling experiences to relate to his friends. Mr. Bradley obtained a B.S. degree from Carthage College and an M.S. degree from Southern Illinois University. He is presently teaching driver education and assisting with coaching. Busy fingers are not idle. pQgs Santa Cheryl? read shorthand. Connie Mr. Kaye gives his class a chalktalk.'

ALWAYS VALUABLE Girls strive to keep up with Mr. Aldridge. The Commercial Department, with three well-trained instructors, is prepared to develop businessmen and women out of high school stu- dents. Miss Gray, in her first year of actual teaching, graduated from Murray State College with a B. S. degree. She teaches personal typ- ing, clerical practice, and general business. With a business degree from the University of Illinois, Mr. Kaye instructs students in shorthand, bookkeeping, record keeping, and typing.

The teachers of our first and second year English often have quite a struggle to provide their students with a good background in grammar and literature. No matter how difficult the job, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Redpath manage to turn out many fine students. Mrs. Par- ker, who faces the Freshmen in English I every year, received her B. S. degree from Southern Illinois University. Mrs. Redpath, our current English II instruc- tor, earned her A. B. degree from the Oklahoma College of Women. - OPENS DOORS TO LEARNING Freshman English students listen attentively as Mrs. Par- ker explains the types of plays.

Mrs. Heitman gives Larry Gentry some pointers in writing a speech. r The last two years of English are staffed with the competent team of Mrs. Heitman and Miss Hood. These last two years of English are concerned principally with prepar- ing students for college. Mrs. Heitman received her degree from Muskingum College in New Con- cord, Ohio. Besides teaching Eng- lish III, she instructs classes in English II and speech. Miss Hood teaches English III and English IV. Miss Hood, who earned her B.

Mr. Birchler is giving a demonstration in the branch of science known as cryoscopy. Cryoscopy is a study of low temperatures, especially of freezing by evaporation. The long instrument with a bulb on the top and bottom is known as a cryophorus. It contains water under re- duced pressure. When the upper bulb has the water in it and the lower bulb is immersed in a mixture of ice and salt or powdered dry ice, the water vapor in it contracts rapidly. This causes such a rapid evaporation of the water in the upper bulb that it freezes.

Each year in early winter visits are made to two different St. Louis hospitals and nursing schools so that Future Nurses members may see and learn from student nurses what school life is like. A tour in the spring is usually scheduled with a class studying an interest area associated with the medical profession. The Sparta Hospital offers a pre-nursing course in the spring to junior and senior girls having a high school grade average of C or above. The purpose of this course is to teach skills and fundamentals necessary for nurses' aides positions at hospitals and or nursing homes and to acquaint girls with a brief idea of what later nursing will be like: a stimulating work rendering a great service to mankind.

The Sparta High School newspaper, The Bulldog Barker, is printed once a month for the nine months of the school year. In addition to the gossip columns and news items, the Barker also contains special features and editorials. The paper is largely supported by advertisements bought by busi- nessmen of the area. Due to a scholarship contribution by the News Plaindealer, who prints the Barker, the staff is able to send the editor of the year to a four-week workshop at S.I. U. the preceding summer. NEWSPAPER, SIAFE FUTURE 1E4CWERE The Frank H. Torrence Chapter of the Future Teachers of America was organized in the Sparta Township High School some years ago. The purpose of this organization is to learn about opportunities in teaching, to cultivate the qualities essential in a good teacher, and to foster the development of stu- dent leadership. Membership is open to students from the freshman through the senior years. A three-point average is required for membership. Highlights of the club year include attendance at the Regional Workshop each fall, visits to the homes of retired teachers during the Christmas season, and prac- tice teaching at the Sparta Grade School.

The National Honor Society is just as its name implies, an organization to honor students who have a high scholastic rating. In addition, members of the NHS must excel in the following: leadership, charac- ter, and service. Early in the spring, the new members are inducted into the organization with warm words of welcome from the actives. Stressing scholastic skills and grades, the members try to impress the importance of learning all that one can. Toward the latter part of the year, the members treat them- selves to a picnic and hayride.

Having been chosen by the Administration, Faculty, and Student Council, they represent the noblest qualities of all the students of Sparta High School - Scholarship with direction, Leadership with in- tegrity, Citizenship with sincerity, Dependability with dedication, and Human Relations with humility. This year, for perhaps the first time, no section is set aside in the BULLDOG for the students most popular, most athletic, or most likely to succeed. Instead, we re- serve these pages for those chosen on merit, u, is just a coincidence that all ten are most popular, very handsome, certainly scholarly,, and more than likely to succeed. y Not all was glory but the product of many things. The nerve which never relaxes - the eye which never blanches - the thought which never wanders - the,purpose that neydr wavers - these are the mas- ters'of victory. Anon. CAROL ANN DUVARDO Carol Duvardo, a Senior, is another one of our specially honored students. Her keen sense of humor and outstanding leadership have caused her to be elected to many offices in her four years at SHS. Carol recognizes that one of the best formulas for happiness her- self, is to bring happiness to others. Virtue is the performance of pleas- ant actions. - James Stephens - 112 PAMELA LOUISE GREMMELS Pam Gremmels, one of our four honored seniors, has found that in order to be a success, you've got to work. Since Pam has achieved admiration by her fellow students, success is just the word for her. Smiling graciously, Pam presides over many organizations, one of them being the National Honor Society. The reward of a thing well done, is to have done it. - Emerson - 113 A stranger might ask this question about the seventeen year old senior - but only a stranger. During the past four years, Sandy has proven the qualities of leadership and citizenship to the students and faculty of SHS. She performs the assignments given her with accuracy and determination. If there is ever anything to do, Sandy is among the first to say, I'm ready to help. SANDRA KAY LIVELY Just who is Sandy Lively’ Life is a mirror; if you frown at it, it will frown back; if you smile, it returns the greeting. - Thackeray - I 14 DONALD LOUIS UCHTMANN To Don Uchtmann, 1964 Senior, the world of high school has meant more than just four years of good times. Intermixed with his good times there has been a sense of responsibility - responsibility to himself and to his associates. Don has participated extensively in high school activities. In all of his undertakings, he has performed a job well done. I shall never ask, never refuse, nor ever resign an office. - Benjamin Franklin - LYNNE EHRAT ALBRECHT This is not just another junior; for if she were, her picture would not appear on this page. True, she does attend school at Sparta High School as do some 550 other students. She is a junior whose high grades, pleasing smile, and purposeful ways caused her to be recog- nized for this honor. A girl of service - not wanting a helping hand, but wanting to lend one, is Lynne Albrecht. We are here not to get all we can out of life for ourselves, but to try to make the lives of others happier. - Osier - 116 NORRIS BROWN LESSLEY Sporting a heartwarming grin, this jolly junior captivates all who know him. Since he is active both scholastically and athletically, he was the natural choice for one of the junior honors. Most of the students at Sparta High know Norris as an outstanding rebounder for the varsity basketball team and a scholar with much determination. One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man. - Goethe - 117 THOMAS MICHAEL GENTRY Drive, dedication, determination - what can be said about a per- son possessing these qualities? Perhaps it is best to merely portray the feelings of those who know him. To a football player, Tom might be known as a hustler and as a young guard who doesn't quit; to a schoolmate, he may be thought of as a friend and as a good sophomore class president; to a teacher, as a cooperative and conscientious student. To all those who know him, Tom is surely an outstanding Sophomore. Nothing great was achieved without enthusiasm. - Emerson - V STEPHEN ROBERT MORGENTHALER Steve Morgenthaler, one of our two honored Sophomores, has been most active in his two years at SHS. He has shown his ability in both basketball and football as well as academic endeavors. His friends know him as a leader - a leader who dedicates himself until the job is done. To a stranger, Steve is an example of tomorrow's strength. Trifles make perfection and perfec- tion is no trifle. - Michelangelo - LYNNETTE KAY DIERKS The young, spry freshman with the vivacious smile and dimples is Lynnette Dierks. To us who know her, Lynnette has become a model of charm and intelligence. Her charm expresses itself as Lynnette gracefully twirls her baton. Her intelligence is made known as she voices her opinion in the classroom. Truly, she is a talented, but modest girl. The only way to have a friend is to be one. - Emerson - JEAN ANN REDPATH Wholesome, versatile, and at ease with all, Jean Redpath was chosen to receive one of the two freshman honors. Attending Sparta High School for less than a year, she has already made herself known, both in classes and activities. She is one whose high grades, unpretentious character, friendly smile, and good judg- ment caused her to be designated for merit and honor. To improve the golden moment of opportunity and catch the good that is within our reach is the great art of life. 121 - Samuel Johnson - TlCe 123 Kneeling (1 to r): McMichael, N.

Fall clothes, hot dogs, and popcorn were all part of the football season at Sparta High this year as students and loyal fans filled the stands to back the Bulldogs at each game. The boys reported to coaches Frazer and Waldrup in mid-August; and after rigorous conditioning they were ready for the opening game. Although the Bulldogs lost the opener, they made a fine showing against a favored Benton team. DuQuoin, the first conference foe, and St. Vincent were met and defeated in the next two games. Both were real thrillers as the winning touchdown was scored N. R. DAVIS Halfback MIKE LYLE Halfback S Tackle SEASON RESUME in the closing minutes of the final quarter in each game. The last half of the season proved to be rougher going for the Bulldogs than the first half. They lost to a power- ful Carbondale team which was favored to win the con- ference title. Following a 0-0 tie at Sesser, the Bulldogs lost to Murphysboro and then to Anna-Jonesboro in the Homecoming tilt. They bounced back and defeated Pinckneyville in their next outing, but lost the season final to Chester in a nip-and-tucK battie which went right down to the wire.
