To right the unrightable wrong, To love, pure and chaste from afar, To try, when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star! This is my quest, to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far, To fight for the right without question or pause, To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause! And Iknow, if I'll only be true to this glorious quest, That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest. And the world will be better for this, That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove, with his last ounce of courage, To reach the unreachable stars! Joe Darion 1 , My Z We will strive for the impossible dream In this fast-moving age of moon walks, air pollution, demonstrations, wonder drugs, Viet Nam, and computers, high school students feel the need to be individualists, and have thus set goals in their lives - whether it be to educate people, to explore the unknown, to get married, or to help fellow man along the way, as did Don Quixote. No matter what our goal, or what we accomplish, there's always that unreachable star which prods us to improve and progress. Although America has progressed scientifically, perhaps it has lagged socially. Young V people have taken as their quest to correct social ills, as evidenced in many of their songs and shown in the introduction of this annual. This year, the l 1970 Bulldog staff has chosen as its theme The Impossible Dream - to emphasize the hopes and dreams which lie in the future of Sparta High Students. l l yi 4 H Don Quixote De LA Mnnche 1 E mga Time to get together To love one another One of the most thoughtful and appreciated things we can do is extend a helping hand and a willing heart to someone - the young in search of knowledge, the old, the ill, and the hungry. A broken leg or sprained ankle is no laughing matter. One must help himself and be grateful for the aid of others. Brotherhood is often a group project to brighten the neighborhood of the whole town. Serving isn't always easy - people who have been independent all their lives don't want to accept help, children are often restless and in- attentive, not all group members have the initiative to stick with it - but a warm smile is reward enough for long hours of work. Solitude comes ln Sounds of silence ln this day when the world is crying out for peace, it often destroys the quiet moments it takes for granted. A tangent hush falls over a crowd con- centrating on a group project, After a hectic day at school a quiet walk home and a chance to think lifts the spirits, That silent hour in study hall is another welcome break in the busy day, At times one needs to make his own silence, to reckon with himself and make momentous decisions. Sometimes thinking cannot be done in solitudeg then one must retreat into himself and let the wall of noise ofthe work-a-day world become a muted background. Quiet, solitude, stillness-hush, listen to the sounds of silence, -wav 1 l .' Ma 2 W ,,,, , I0 KX? 'tx M4 M My-11 wwf ' ,wwf Q.. -..,..ff,M fy . N , A U The times - they are Changin every day This is the age of Aquarius and the day of the moon. Fly Me to the Moon is translated literally and man has walked on Earth's satellite. As soon as a boy gets new wheels - be they two or four - he decides to learn to fly. Meanwhile his shirt tail is flapping. in the breeze thanks to a new ruling by the Student Council. Bell bottoms are another new mode of dress adopted by the boys. The sports world saw a major miracle as the Mets won the World Series. .Besides new faces, new means of learning became a part of Sparta High's changing times. Yes, the times they are a'changing, changing every day - the times they are a'changing, changing in every way. X i Lf ,ft .- , .. 1 Monday, Monday! Can I: trust that day That cloudy, blue day, when the minutes seem like hours and the hours go so slowly. Students trudge to school for the next five days of homework, crowded halls, and rising early. Books fall as thick and fast as the Monday rain and the office is flooded with a multitude of excuses for three, four, and five day weekends. It is a struggle for the teachers to get the attention of their sleepy students who were up until 11:45 the night before doing their homework, or - well anyway, they were up until 11:45. Monday mornings are not completely bad - that is the time to catch up on the latest gossip with friends you have not seen all weekend. gt M NNXN is , ts y - ' iii gf P' iq.- ,,--.. - Just-skippin' round And feelin, groovy Ask the typical student how he likes school and he will mumble, lt's O.K. Ask him how he liked Homecoming or some other special day, and you will hear a multitude of the latest adjectives for terrific, Special recognition for scholastic acheivemenrs gives a warm glow of pride. Being chosen Homecoming queen can only be described as happiness - blissful, ecstatic, tearful happiness, Friday, the most wel- come day ofthe week, is greeted by cries of, Thank goodness it's here! from students and teachers alike, Then, there is the big day - graduation. It is met with mixed emotions of joy, sorrow, and apprehen- sion, but it is one ofthe happiest days in school, tu ff' I5 These are the girls Girl watchers Watch Man's favorite sport, in season all year round, is girl watching, and there are so many girls - blondes, brunettes, and redheads. They are special every day, but on big occasions they shine like stars, A pretty girl adds that certain touch to any scene - at home, at school, or just relaxing in the autumn leaves. What is better than a pretty girl? Why, two! Maybe that's just a reflection, but what male could not reflect on such visions of pulchritude for hours on end? The six girls pictured on these two pages are apt representa- tives of the beauties of SHS, Needless to say there are many other girls around, with charm and beauty to attract their own girl watchers, CK r K 'tk N455 3?

Plagued by tough competition and injuries, the Bulldogs dropped their next five ballgames. A resounding defeat over the Anna- Jonesboro Wildcats sparked the Bulldogs to come from behind to tie the Pinckneyville Panthers. With only a few minutes left in the ballgarne and defeat staring the team in the face, Sparta rallied for two scores and the game ended in a 14-14 tie.

Homecoming Victor stirs school spirit Sparta broke its five game losing streak with a 24-8 victory over the Anna-Jonesboro Wildcats Homecoming evening. With the return of most of the injured players, the Bulldogs took control of the game from the opening kickoff. Sparta's offense sparkled and the Bul1dog's defense probably made their best showing ofthe year. Danny Beard caught a 30 yard pass for a touchdown and the Bulldogs were out in front to stay. Iohn Robinson ran a Quarter back sneak, and the first quarter ended with Sparta on top 14-0. Kenny Slavens ran for a 20 yard TD midway in the second quarter, and Steve Plumlee ran '73 yards for another score to end the overpowering first half 24-O and to win the game.

Gymnastics develops poise in GAA girls The Girls' Athletic Association of Sparta High School gives every girl interested in athletics a chance to show off her ability and to increase her knowledge of sports, The past year many members stayed one night a week to improve themselves phys- ically, Girls received strenuous workouts in softball, gymnastics, soccer, volleyball, and basketball, Besides enjoying themselves in these activities the girls learned the qualities of good sportsmanship, Awards of letters or charms were given to members who acquired a certain number of points, But the big reward might be being just a little more phys- ically fit, Approximately 65 girls joined GAA in a candlelight initiation ceremony, Peggy Eggemeyer holds a shoulder stand, 92 tudents seek insight for teaching career Junior and senior FTA members tested their teaching abilities through actual experience as they entered classrooms at the Sparta- Lincoln-At- tendance Center, The students observed the tech- niques and methods of instruction of their assigned teachers during the iirst day of their two day teaching career and were then given the opporttmity to apply their own ideas while teaching the second day. In this way the students of today discover whether they want to become the teachers of to- morrow, FTA members also became involved in many other projects, one of which was selling helitun-inflated balloons at the big Homecoming football game, October 24. s r my - ,H H X iii, ROW 1: Miss Vaughn, Sponsorg G, Bigham, Reporter, F, Hawley, President, B, Menke, Vice-President, C, Schupbach, Secretaryg I.

The goal of finishing this memory-book for all SHS students has been reached, but it would not have been possible without the photography of Maybell-Richell Photographers, the efforts of Mrs. Sandy Crain, the artwork of Pat Ragland, and co-operation of teachers. Especial thanks goes to Mr. Ed Simpson, who was not a sponsor who merely sat back and watched but en- couraged us with cheerful smile and frequent jokes, and mainly worked harder than any of us. In our youth we have chosen what may seem to be an impossible dream, but we, the young people, working together, can set an example of brotherhood and love. We can and must reach the unreachable star. its E is sys il X i R is 'Don ulxo e N X ,X R NX X fdssss s ss is T is S s FE 1 55 W 1 R 3pMJ?E,:2f55?w1f?xjfm 5 W , A rjfj figfiimnivly 1 M7 f I ,, Q Cx53Ef',iL,3v' 1 Z W 5 A J .
