This year we have tried to give equal space not only e special days, but also to the days that were made special in little ways that were so important. We have shown Home- coming, elections, Prom, the Christmas Dance, and the parade: but with these we have also shown all of the preparation before these special events, having lunch with friends, talking in the hall to that special someone, and working in the Junior stand. When you look back at these special days and days made special, your mind will be filled with memories of the laughter of friends in the halls as they scuffled to their classes, the excitement of the first touchdown of the season, and the countless hours of study both in and out of the classroom. With these happy memories will also come the memories of the days of sorrow. The game that was lost by a single point, the test that lowered your grade average, getting caught passing a note in study hall, and dropping your tray in lunchline are but a few of these sorrows. All of these memories, whether happy or sad, combined to make this a memorable and very special year. , f t 'fi f A ' - . , Axial' l h U1 I I 5 p ,O if ,U L .

Days made special are meeting your boyfriend or girlfriend on campus between classes, a locker too small for your many books and countless per- sonal possessions, and taking tests that will decide your future. These are the many occurances that combined to make every day a special day in a very mem- orable year at SHS. h if W 1.. is AW' an L0 Emotion Created Special Memories Sparta High runs the gamut of emotion - from total dejection to utter happiness. These are the moments in one's life that make days special and remembered. Our school years would hold no meaning if not for these special mo- ments that one can look fondly back at. Concentration--the desire to perfect a difficult piece of music: persuasion--trying to make others see your ideas and plans: confusion--being confront- ed with new and difficult ideas as one advances through school: defeat--the utter emptiness of failing a long sought goal: encouragement--that little boost to put out extra effort: and friendship--those two minutes between classes which can mean so much, are some emotions that are worth remembering. 9 ar 3. ,.,. u. f '- ,. if' '. .gf g x , . .

Regena Hawley interviewed Senator Dirksen for the Bulldog Barker and was rewarded with a big kiss for being a faithful follower. David McIntyre caught Senator Percy at the airport as he arrived in Sparta. Signs pasted on lockers and clothing provoked heated, but intelligent discussion on the presidential candidates. American History classes exercised the privilege of voting by holding both popular and electoral elections in the classes. Members of the Student Council and class officers were chosen democratically by direct vote of the students. Sparta High School has been an example of the increasing knowledge and interest in politics of teenagers around the world. ff- ., ,,. -- Viv .-' a ,. ,.t, 3:31 x .A x A W' 850. v . .1 ,iv , I .1 gi Q 1 'F Q . ,Q 0 I' 0 :K ,x ,H x .. pf' fp More Special Days at SHS I y Arr: V1 Every Day Was a Happening As the school year progressed more special events made the days seem more fun than routine. Sweat- shirt Day was a big success as the student body showed their team support by decorating their favorite mode of wear with weird designs and phrases. The winners were Jean DeRousse, Skip Rezba, Judy Rad- ford, and Carol Behm. Ed Higgerson and Danny Beard received their spec- ial awards for outstanding play in the tournament with happiness and disbelief. The days' monotonous hours of study were broken by a few whispered words in Study Hall. A day was also made special by the rewarding discovery of an amoeba after long, te- dious hours of searching a slide under a microscope. All in all, it was a special year full of very spec- ial days. gg, W4 if Q9 'SLE , i: l V, ar 1, .QQ fi. 20 ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENT AND AWARDS P V f rs sift 'I' The new Homecoming Queen and her court. Homecomingz A Parade, a Victorious Game, a Queen and Her Court Homecoming spirits rode high November, in spite of the damp weather. The parade assem- bled at 2:00 and marched downtown.

The Homecoming Queen candidates and attendants made their debut at halftime as they were driven about the football field in convertibles. Students began to arrive at 7:45 the following night for the semi-formal dance. Music was furnished by the Sting Rays. Student Council members worked hard in decorating the gym to achieve the similarity of a football field. The highlight of the evening was Coronation of the queen. Escorted by football players, the candidates and attendants, in beautiful velvet dresses, ascended the stage to the song Misty . The 1968 Homecoming Queen, Brenda Hissong, was crowned by Bob Pillars. 22 In spite of rain, the band struck a happy note. Nancy Gardiner and escort Dar rell Slaven.

Seniors Place First The wildly cheering, enthusiastic student body filled the girls' gym with their loud ex- pression of school spirit. Anxiety and anticipation were on everyones' faces. Who would win the coveted first place for their float! So much time and hard work had gone into their construction. Then, Mr. Dunn stepped to the center of the gym and made the important announce- ment. The Seniors had won! The cheers were deafening. Their float, Destination Victory,' defeated the competition. The junior float, Can the Panthers, placed second while the sophomores' Wipe 'Em Out came in ahead of the freshman float, Bowl 'Em Over.

The theme, Moonlight and Roses was carried out with extensive decorating. Roses on every table, a white wooden bridge framed by a chalk mural of a water- fall, and a colorful fountain were all shimmering in the light of two huge mirror-balls. Waiters and waitresses, dressed accordingly, entertained the guests and also kept the Prom-goers satisfied with punch and sandwiches. The guests and the dance floor were canopied with streamers of deep purple and orchid. These beautiful surroundings coupled with good mus- ic created a very special evening that will long be remem bered in the years to come. Fred Townley seemed to enjoy being a waiter. - These two couples appeared to have had a great time at the Prom.

Students at Sparta High made many ac- complishments in many different fields of endeavors. Accomplishments were made in scholastic fields as well as athletic. While being selected as a Na- tional Merit scholar took the scholastic ability of one person, being named to the All-Conference team in football took the skill, endurance, and physical fit- ness of another. Other achievements took the ingenuity, practical application of knowledge, and common sense of the students such as the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow award. These people of outstanding ability have brought praise and recognition to the entire student body of Sparta High.

Election to the NHS requires that students possess a certain combination of qualities - leadership, citizenship, attitude, character, scholar- ship. Most important of these is scholarship. To quali- fy a student must be a junior or senior with at least a 4. 25 average. From those who are eligible, only 5070 of the juniors and lO070 of the seniors are chosen. Names of newly elected members are kept secret until they are announced at an all school assembly held during the spring quarter. Any student initiated into the National Honor Soci- ety represents the academic leaders of Sparta High School and should at all times exemplify the qualities for which he was chosen. Mrs. Heitman, Mr. Birchler, Mrs. Redpath, M Weiser, Mr. Weithorn. ine Seniors Recognized for . A Pupil Who Is Also a Student - curious, anxious to proceed farther than he is asked to, will- ing to devote extra time and effort - is always more reward- ing to teach. Being named as one of the outstanding seniors is an honor. The people who are selected by secret vote of the faculty represent class leaders, good citizens, active classmates. However, most important they represent students who have made many teachers' efforts worthwhile because these stu- dents have contributed much good to the classroom atmos- phere. The quality of this class is indicated by the number of people, 35, who received votes from their teachers. If you strive to become one of the honored few on these pages, ask yourself if you are always more rewarding to teach. Patty Joiner . . . Annual staff editor . . .

Although at first glance it may not be so impressive when compared with other teams, the Bulldogs are not to be underrated. They began the season with a 13-O victory over Benton but were de- feated the following game by highly rated DuQuoin 14-'7. Even though the team lost the following three games due to the injuries of several valuable players such as Ken Mark- ley, Paul Barber, Keith Penny, and Mike Eldson they did not lose courage and made impressive comebacks against Anna-Jonesboro and Pinckneyville whom they defeated 35-0 and 26-0 respectively. The victory over Pinckneyville was especially sweet since they were so sotuidly defeated on Sparta's big weekend of Homecoming. The final game ended in a tie between the mighty Bulldogs and the Chester Yellowjackets, thus putting Sparta about midway in the South- western Egyptian Conference. The only result of this seems to be confusion. .-gi. - l e nw :js ii My r 1 4 C fl!! '.s':. s nf l?

The Bulldogs clenched the title with a victory over Anna-Jonesboro on February 21, Sparta earned its first conference title since 1964-1965. Sparta suffered its first conference defeat near the end of the season when Nashville upset the Bulldogs. Until that time the closest any other team had come to win- ning was Pinckneyville who came back late in the fourth quarter to take a one point lead. However the tenacious Bulldogs fought back to win 50-49. In spite of the school spirit which lagged at times dur- ing the year, the team spirit never waned nor did the cheerleaders stop working hard to pep up a generally in- different student body. 59 -r 5 W, .,,, 3, gy, rrlr i rrrt B ,555 - is-r if we-4: K Two of Coach Datel's Bulldogs, Dave Bremer and Danny Beard, are named to the all-tourney team at Olney. 60 The Bulldogs are set to take the tipoff 4..- 3 ,,. as 'Sl' Danny Beard drives to get two more points.

Dur- ing the tournament Danny scored 47 points while David took 36 rebounds. Marty Jacobus, another standout for Sparta, made 36 points and 29 rebounds. 6I Q ti 'S I . T K X S Sparta Second in Midwinter Classic The Mid-Winter Classic held many exciting moments for Sparta fans even though the Bulldogs finished second behind the Bulldogs of Sumner. Sparta was nudged out of the championship by a decisive basket which came within the few remaining seconds of the vital game. The final score was Sumner 53, Sparta 50. Sparta led during most of the garneg then Sumner closed the gap near the end of the third quarter. Fourth quarter play was nip and tuck for both teams. The game was tied 50-50 with little more than a minute to play. Sinking a free throw and making a basket after stealing the ball from Sparta, Sumner held a 3 point margin as the buzzer sounded. Besides winning second place, the Bulldogs placed two men on the all tourney team, Danny Beard and Ed Higgerson. The cheerleaders, too, earned a trophy by being chosen as the best cheerleading squad at the tournament. 62 Q Marty Jacobus takes the rebound.

Emotion! Excitement! Those words described the life of a Sparta High cheerleader. This year, fourteen enthusiastic girls, yelling, clapping, and cheering the team's every attempt to bring victory and honor to Sparta High, boosted the Bulldogs. The cheerleaders never gave up! To them, victory was never out of reachg nothing was impossible. It was their duty as cheerleaders to be contagious with their pep and vigor. Along with the whole audience, they gave the team their full support. Getting new ideas to improve school spirit, the Varsity cheerleaders went to cheerleading camp and returned with many invigorating cheers and routines. Trying out these, the Varsity cheerleaders spent many of their summer evenings on the campus lawn. After school hours, both the J-V and Varsity cheerleaders sacrificed much of their time in perfecting various techniques. Cheerleaders hoped to achieve great heights in promot- ing school spirit with the cooperation of all the student body. LISA LUTHY GAIL WILSON f ffff E e f, F , +11-wif' 1 ri 5' . In Ji?

After winning first place in seven out of nine meets, the Bulldogs took their fifth Southwest Egyp- tian Conference title in the past six years. In the District meet at Carbondale, Sparta placed fifth. Here two men, Ted Boston and Steve Roberts, qualified to participate in the state track meet in Champaign. I I F. ,st so Cross Country Gains Popularity Rapidly becoming popular at Sparta High is a new sport called cross-country under the coaching of Coach Bradley, a man who really takes pride in his trackmen. Not only does this sport take speed but also endurance. The outcome of the cross-country meets this past year were very laudable with seven first places and two seconds in regular meets. In the district meet in which twenty-four teams participated, Sparta won sixth place. Participating in the Tri- co Invitational along with thirteen other teams, Sparta won sixth. At the West Frankfort Invitational, Coach Bradley's trackmen finished with a first. Two fellows who deserved recognition for their good showing in the West Frankfort meet were Tim Degener and Bob Huey who finished fourteenth and fourth, respectively, and were awarded individual trophies at the close of the meet. 72 'iwylb 'tmjqvf TPUK9 9 ,mvffm Runner being timed as he crossed the finish line. dl rf-xv-' Sparta runners battle with opposition.

'69 Bulldog Increases in Size Words, time, and pictures were the ingredients that the '69 Bulldog staff used to construct this year's annual. Some innovations which were used were an index listing each student and the pages where his pic- ture could be found, four-color pictures, pictures ofthe most popular students in school, and more pages for extra coverage of the school year. Hard work and long hours have gone into the year- book. Deadlines had to be met and it was a strain on the staff as well as Mr. Simpson. Decisions had to be made as to the cover for the annual and also the colors. But after a great deal of work and arguments, the 'Q Bulldog has emerged in its completed form. It is truly the biggest and the best ever. ACTIVITIES: Betty Schupbach, Lisa Luthy Beth Mathews, Patti Sternberg.

Because of their outstanding work, the rest of the annual staff felt that they deserved special recognition, espe- cially to Jeanne Hill who collected personally 25300 worth of ads. After making the rounds of the advertisers in Sparta, they went to other towns to try to persuade merchants that advertising in the Bulldog was worth the expense. The four -color pages in the front of this book were made possible because the ad solicitors sold over S1200 worth of advertising.

To raise money for the restor- ation of Hood Memorial, the Student Council under- took this project during the week of Halloween. Members of the Student Council went to certain homes of residents of Sparta whose windows had been soaped by pranksters. These, they offered to clean for a small fee to be added to the Hood Memorial Fund. For a second year, the Homecoming festivities were under the supervision of Student Council. Dec- orations for the gym, engagements of a band, proces- sion of the Homecoming parade, and the election of a queen and attendants were the major responsibilities of council members. One of the most important functions of the Coun- cil is to encourage students to use their right to vote. This important exercise of democracy was practiced this year during the election of class officers and stu- dent council members in the spring.

During the last year in Pre-Medios, the members have prepared for this career by getting acquainted with nursing schools in St. Louis. But that was not all! They were busy at home with local projects: by presenting Dr. Fun color books to all young patients at the Sparta Com- munity Hospital, and by attending Pre-Clinical classes where they were trained for nurses' aids at the nursing home and local hospital. Both boys and girls sixteen years of age or older discovered how rewarding this pro- fession can be. FRONT ROW: Mrs. Patterson, sponsorg Ruth Pat- terson, treasurerg Mrs. Wilson, sponsor.

Science Club Strived to Complete Exhibits Observing the stars and planets, trying out the club members' ESP powers, and refracting the colors in the spectrum described the SHS Science Club. Diving into the mysteries of science, they had impredictable experiments, happenings, and conclusions through the year. At one time the rainbow was reproduced in the lab. The year, however, was filled with more than strange oc- curances. Each member was required to partici- pate i.n the District Science Project Judging or take some phase of scientific work to be shown here. From Carbondale, the first place projects proceeded to Champaign, where the State Con- test was held. Throughout the entire year, the Science Club strived to bring the importance of discoveries to its members. Future Engineers Busily Planned Their Careers Films about industry, practicing engineers who speak at the regular monthly meetings, tours of local plants, and engineering open houses at Colleges and Universities, re- search reports made by club members, and planned proj- ects help future engineers to receive a good background for this vocation. One of the activities planned to increase member's knowledge was the construction of a 1900 slide rule.

S S Chorus Presented Two Outstanding Concerts Someone once said singing should come from the heart rather than from the lips. How it comes from the lips is important if one is in the chorus. In preparation for two annual concerts, twenty members attended a choral clinic at Southern Illinois Univer- sity in October. Fourty-five strong, the SHS Chorus overcame the noise from the cafe- teria. In December, they performed at two Christmas programs: one for the student body and one for the public. Their final per formance was the Spring Concert in May. Giving up one 's half-hour study hall was found to be rewarding. X A Members of GAA Received Awards for School Spirit Strike three! You're out! Many times dur- ing the school year this cry was heard on Tuesday evenings at the Girl's Athletic Association. More girls than ever before stayed one night a week to improve themselves physically. Members received strenuous workouts in soft- ball, volleyball, soccer and basketball. These girls, besides enjoying themselves, learned to participate in activities with good sportsmanship. Having carried out the plans for several socials, new members were officially initiated in the second quarter after Christmas caroling. Awards were given to members who ac- quired a certain number of points. These letters and charms were not the only rewards. These girls learned the arts of sportsmanship, friend- ship, and last but not least, physical fitness. ,K Kathy Fox, program chairmang Mrs. Trieb, spon sorg Paula Lehman, program chairmang Elaine Uchtmann, treasurerg Rhonda Fox, secretaryg Doris McConachie, presidentg Claudia Ernsting, vice-president.

Meeting every Thursday night during football and basketball season, the Pep Club enthusi- astically learns new cheers from cheerleaders. To demonstrate and boost student enthusiasm, the Pep Club sponsored a bon fire pep-rally, September 26. The newly appointed mascot, Fran Hawley, and the cheerleaders initiated the plan of a spirit stick. For the purpose of distin- guishing Bulldog fans from aliens, the club and fans proudly wore pennant pins which they sold.

If you can read French, the preceeding sentence aptly describes the new French Club. For those who do not pos- sess this ralent, it simply states that this is the first year for Sparta to have a French Club. To belong, one must have taken a year or more of French. To becorne better acquainted with speaking and understanding the language is the main purpose of this club. Under the guidance of Miss Kaitschuk, this group planned a French bake sale. O 9 0 Future Teachers Practice Teaching at Grade School No, no Johnny and Yes, you may, Susie are two phrases frequently used by the junior and senior members of FTA when they student teach at the grade school. Each spring two days are set aside for the girls to get first hand knowledge in ways of teaching. Observing the teacher and her techniques the first day, the girls then apply their ideas in teaching the second day. Since the club helps members come in contact with teaching, it is an asset in helping them choose their profession. Apples or rose buds are given each year to teachers by the future teachers to show their appreciation. Meetings often have guest speakers who help the members consider- ably with new ideas and methods on teaching. ,'fUlUX FRONT ROW: Mr. Murry, sponsorg Regina Hawley, treasurerg Brenda Grefe, presidentg Miss Vaughn, sponsor.

Future Farmers Break Prior Membership Record Quite a few members of the blue jacket gang were seen around SHS this year. This meant only one thing: members of the Sparta Chapter of FFA were proud of their club and wanted to show it by flashing their bold, blue jackets around. Actually, these boys had a great deal to be proud of. They had the largest membership this last year than any previous one In fact, they had the largest enrollment of Agri- culture students in the Sophomore Class in Sparta's history. Attending the annual FFA Convention in Kansas City, and the State Illi- nois FFA Convention in Urbana were only a few of the activities. This year was filled with all sorts ofjudging: soil, grain, livestock, etc. Somehow they also found time to do a little public speaking. SHS Marching Bulldogs Entertain Spectators Ladies and gentlemen, the Marching Bulldogs pre- sent Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic! This was one of the various introductions to the band's half-time per- formances at the football games. Besides their musical abilities, the band members contribute to the cheering section with blatant yells and enthusiasm. Opening their marching season with participation in the Steeleville Parade, the Marching Bulldogs were later invited to march in the Murphysboro Apple Festival. Ac- companied by majorettes, the band members boarded a bus for early morning travel. A new feature of the band was the Band Council. Consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary Treasurer, and a representative from junior, sophomore and freshman classes, the Band Council made rules by which each member adhered. Adding to the dynamics of concert performances was a set of newly purchased tympanies. l02 .gg rf' -rv' as - S 'iiiili 1 so if srs ru 'hu These flutists withstood the chilly breezes to perfect their music .

Let's go over that again. If you were to stop in at one of the majorette practices, you might hear this several times. The majorettes practiced many long and strenuous hours, try- ing to perfect their routines. They performed in various parades. both at home and out-of-town, and at the football and basketball games. Being a majorette is more than being seen in short skirts and high boots. Marching with the band, and helping with the performances are also duties of the majorettes. To be out of step or to miss a beat might be disastrous to the whole program. This past summer, four of the majorettes went to a Clinic at Carbondale to learn techniques to improve their twirling. The majorettes practiced quite vigorously while at band camp, too. Because of the outstanding routines presented by the major- ettes, we say well done. I06 7 CLASSES SH Y. xv: gt.

After four years of fun and study, the class of 1969 is leaving high school with mixed emo tions. Some are happy to be done with itg yet the ma- jority will feel a void in their lives. The girls will cry at graduation while the boys gruffly try to dismiss the whole affair with a sigh of relief. But each will be re- membering what it was like to build floats, to decorate for the prom amid streamers and roses, to work in the Junior stand, and to do all the other things they have done together.

Juniors I would like a coke, please, or Bag of pop corn, please, and even Do you have any bub- ble-gum? . All of these three phrases were heard numerous times by members of the junior class when they performed their duty of taking care of the concession stand at football and bas- lcetball games. Having finally become upper classmen, the junior class won second prize with their float, Can the Panthers, in the Homecoming Parade. Under the supervision of Mrs. Craig, Mr. King, Mr. Bernasek, Mr. Johnson, the class spon- sors, the juniors hosted the biggest social event of the year for juniors and seniors. The ingenui- ty of members of the junior class made the Prom an enormous success. 24 Yi , .rv Tlgls- ' fs The junior stand was not always a place for serious busi ness. .gm BW Dan Beard John Becker Carol Behm Judy Belton David Bierman Gene Bigham Shirley Bird Doris Bleem Sharon Ashley David Aud Debbie Baird Paul Barber Don Bardo Carla Bartley Frank Barton Gene Barton ,- J,, Q ,V ,,..f K Filling popcorn bags is no easy task' Peggy Boston Bob Bowlin Scott Bradley Sandy Briscuso Beverly Brown Donna Brown Clidia Bulliner Lyle Bulliner DeWayne Burns Jackie Cavalier Terri Chandler Betty Coffey Billy Cole Kenneth Conner Joyce Cowell John Cundiff Florence Davis George DeLay Jean DeRousse Trudy DeRousse Ken Deutschmann Neioma Dickey Mike Dierks Ken Diehl Ken Dorf Bonnie Doyle Sunny Doyle Diana Dunlap Charles Edwards Brenda Eggemeyer I26 Ronnie Glaspy Denise Glenn Jane Gross Kathy Grove Miriam Hargis Ann Hartman Suzy Haury Fran Hawley Peggy Eggemeyer Jim Elwyn Claudia Ernsting it Don Fraley Karen Frey Larry Gaertner Jeff Gerlach ' Marilyn Gerlach Bulldog Barker Brightens Another Dull Day Bruce Heck Helen Henderson ,To Ellen Henderson Diane Hennrich Louis Holloway Connie Holt John Holtgrefe Margaret Hood Marvalee Howie Marty Jacobus Mike Johnson Mike Johnson Karen Kahle Mitchell Kaiser Merle Keller Nancy Keller Pam Kempfer Ted Kruski Nelson Kueker Linda Laramore George Leemon Steve Lindsey Ann Little Phillip Loethen Charles Long Lisa Luthy Carla McCormick Royce McFadden Pat Mclntyre Carolyn McKee I28 Wayne Mueller Evelyn Mulholland Linda Niemeyer Lynn Nitsche Roger Nitsche Carolyn Odle Kenneth Oliver Carol Owens Shelia McKinley Roy McMichea1 Jack Meadows Paul Meyer Verdella Midgett Dennis Mitchell Bill Morgan Glenn Morrison Hi There!

Sophomores We have almost finished our second year at Spar- ta High. As sophomores, we became more interes- ted in the affairs of high school life, we began tak- ing our share of duties in extra-curricular activities, and we backed the Bulldogs in all of their athletic endeavors. Wipe-Out, our float entry in the home coming parade, won third place. Our money-mak- ing project was selling key chains with the Sparta emblem on them. The first signs of becoming upper classmen came when we ordered our class rings. As the school year closes, we anticipate with a twinge of excitement the special days ahead as Juniors when we will work in the junior stand, initiate our first members into'National Honor Society, and host the junior-senior prom.

I, 145 X 6 I ACADEMICS P Mr. Weithorn Serves First Year as Principal Mr. Weithorn has completed his first year as principal of Sparta High School. His duties as a new administrator have been varied. He has served as disciplinarian, advisor, co-ordinator of school and community affairs. Beingwprincipal of a school like SHS can be re- warding and, at times, frustrating. Reward comes from an attentive student body during assembliesq from a cooperative and constructive faculty. Frustra- tion arises when a few students ruin open semester exams for 500 schoolmates who are cooperative and responsibleg when an irate parent is HOI aware of the facts about his recently disciplined child. The hours spent in this office are no doubt worthwhile but at best it is a hard position to fill in any community. MI. Weithorn has worked hard this year to serve as an effective administrator. The annual staff wishes him continued success in future years. ri f' , , ! , J r... , , , f f if 0 W J! -ff Iliff f,. f If V Jed, fi I I V Il .1 , -.f ' , ' f X! 1 X i f !

School Board MRS. WILSON Nurse Helps the III Taking temperatures and collecting and filing physical examinations are just two of the many jobs Mrs. Wilson and her secretary, Mrs. Gerlach per- form during the year. ln addition, they are con- fronted with broken little toes and stiff knees plus headaches which spontaneously arise when a student remembers that he has a test for which he is not pre- pared. Since some students are prone to miss school even though they are not physically ill, Mrs. Wilson also, has the task of calling the students homes to inquire about his health. To insure to some extent the well-being of Sparta High students, Mrs. Wilson administers polio vaccine. Students as well as the nurse were glad that this colorless tasteless liquid was in a paper cup instead of a slender needle. Not only was the polio vaccine given, but also the tuberculosis skin test which too is practically painless. I54 4 MRS.

Mr. Simpson, who received a B. S. degree from Southern Illinois University, teaches Latin I, II, and Ill. Teaching Frenchl and Il is Miss Kaitschuk. Spanish I and ll is the third language, taught by Mrs. Garver. There are books on the twelve Ceasars, atoms, and Napo- leon.

Vocational Training Two of the oldest vocational training programs at SHS are home economics and industrial arts, taught by Miss Miller, B. S. Lindenwood College, Mrs. Reid, B. S. Southern Illinois University and Mr. Johnson, B. S. Murray State University. Many new occupational programs have been initiated recently, enabling high school students to prepare for job careers after graduation. One of the new programs is the work training program under the supervision of Mr. Stephenson, B. A. Blackburn Col-' lege, CWT members assist in the cafeteria, gyms, and school building. Many girls have gained experience as office secretaries through the 0.0. program under Mr. Kaye's guidance. Another program for girls is Gainful Occupations for those who want experience as waitresses, store clerks, etc. Mrs. Reid is the director of this training program. There are two programs for boys, both under the supervision of Mr. DeBose, B. S. Memphis State. Distributive education is for boys interested in manual labor while Building Trades attracts boys interested in building a house whose construction will cover a two year period.
