These were the kinds of questions the 1979-1980 year- book staff was asking, as we huddled 'round our pea-green table, racking our brains for that perfect theme. No one had been too wild about Prism when it had first come up, but going back over, we began to see a meaning we'd missed. For what is our school, if not a prism. f' A reflection of light . . . light in people, light of God. A multitude of colors, all blended together, yet still distinctly unique. So many different personalities and gifts . . . reflections of beauty. A smile on Monday morning . . . extra help from a teacher you'd always thought hated you . . . sharing a prayer at Mass. Loving each other, even during finals. We found out soon, though, that blending personalities was a whole different matter. In the early days, clashes between staff members were frequent. At times, the tension in Room 2 was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. When it really started getting to us, we came to the conclusion, if we were going to have the top-notch yearbook we all wanted, it had to be a team effort. A yearbook divided against itself cannot stand. So we made the extra effort. We took up the chal- lenge. And we succeeded. This is the story of Springfield Catholic High School in 1980 ...

RI., Styles N ' Stuff CHANGE was the word- for the year 1979-1980. Maybe it was because of the closing of one decade, and the beginning of another. Or maybe it was the turmoil outside that invaded our own little world called school. A new principal meant some rule changes, but these were mostly ones that had been forgotten. Girls rediscovered the itchy, stretchy joy of polyester pants, and a stricter discipline was instated in the classroom. Best of all, an unexpectedly large freshman class entered the halls of SCHS for their first time. Many different hairstyles were seen on student heads this year: braids, French braids, rolled hair, frizzed hair , all copied from the pages of MADEMOISELLE. A new importance was put on fashion, but each seemed to find her own sense of style. Our own versions of the latest from Paris were modeled year-round: big, thick sweaters, straight-legged pants, tweed blazers, and a comeback for the flat shoe. Through all this, the boys remained unimpressed. Their schoolday dress consisted of cords and flannel shirts, with boots in winter and tennies in spring and fall. And with rising prices of clothes, it was no wonder the boys always had more money! idx' Q iff ' '.

Layout by Flrmln , .wtf-f-, r- , Outside, the world was turning upside-down. After nearly four years, Disco began to loose its stranglehold on the dressfdance scene. But the bop didn't stop: New Wave rolled in, a polite version of Punk rock, led by bands like BLONDIE and THE KNACK. At the box office, disaster movies gave way to a new craze, SCARY movies Junior Achievement grabbed the interest of business-minded students in all the city high schools . . . Students found part time employment to counteract skyrocketing inflation . . . HEADLINES . . . fifty American hostages held captive in Iran. Some tied yellow ribbons on trees to show concern. Although many complained about a lack of parties, they were the most frequent events. Alumni got in on the fun, too. Close friendships between students and alumni weren't unusual. Often, it was their houses and apartments that were used for these weekend get-togethers, since parents had a shared objection to loud rock and teenage talk.

Hall Going, Going, Gone were the best words to describe the last days of school for the graduating class of SCI-IS. Bacclaureate Mass was on May 18 at 3:00 at Immaculate Conception church. Father Eftink was the principal celebrant with the homily given by Father Bucher. The following Monday an all school Mass for the Seniors was held in the cathedral. Afterwards, the grads gorged themselves at breakfast prepared by their mothers. Finally the big day arrived - May 22 - Graduation. You could feel the excitement as Pomp and Circumstance announced the entrance of the graduates. Margaret Griesemer acted as mistress of ceremonies. Nick Wolf, valedictorian, and Reggie Verfurth, salutatorian, delivered their speeches. Monsignor Rynish addressed the audience with words both spiritual and enlightening. As Sister Raynald presented the class, Bishop Law handed out the diplomas. 5 , ,. , we 1 1 ' if ,K , f , , 'ff tj., 'F MA . 3' ,Z 0' iii. 4 7 I I 1 7 o 5 9 . 3 15 .r I .....,.., 1.

Nick Wolf however was easily chosen Valedictorian of the class but the choice for Salutatorian wasn't as easy. Up until the final day it was impossible to pick between Gigi Baker and Reggie Verfurth. However after finals Reggie won by a narrow margin. Yet compe- tition didn't quit there. The number ten spot was also very close but Mary Watson pulled ahead and received the honor. Congratulations to these ten students for their excellence in the field of academics.

At the beginning of the year they found that they couldn't use the money from the pop machine, which made them work a little harder for prom. Another crisis was losing three class officers, which made them really work to hold the class together. Even though this class had problems, most people really looked at how unique they were. The class once had cliques, but have united into one prism. A prism that was one main body reflecting unique lights that made this JUNIOR prism beau- tiful. The lights shine athletics, scholars, artists, and just special people. U.-3-2-. -er . . ,1-r--v.,-N ., . 1 1. Sitting alone, Brian Carroll contemplated the day ahead. 2. Who me, Tink Sullivan? 3.

They were the smallest class in school. Having a tiny class at the beginning of the year wasn't the problem, but as the semester rolled around, the class became smaller and smaller. This prob- lem had a good aspect to it though. The class united as one and were closer than everg they stood out as a whole. This tiny spectrum added to our prism. Many looked at this light as their intelligence, skill, and enthu- siasm sparkled. ' 'XA' Kai V ,-', Vg' 4 Brigitte Baker Steve Berberich Mike Bettlach Vicki Bohanan Debbie Collins Gayle.

Religion. An awareness of the existence of a supreme being. Sister Bede and Mr. Meaney helped raise this awareness in classes which met three times a week. Freshmen.took on the study of Old and New Testaments concentrating on salvation and the character of Jesus. Religion II was a course that emphasized Christian Morality and man as a Christian. Juniors spent time discussing moral problems in the world today, in the light of scriptures, reason, and the Churchs most recent teachings.

Mr. Calloway, Jazz Band director for the second year, faced a particularly difficult situation when the band lost its bass player, midway through the year. This dilemma only made the remaining fifteen members work harder to compensate for this important instrument. The Jazz Band performed pieces by such artists as Billy Joel, Carol King, Steely Dan, and Sammy Nestico, rearranging the originals to fit the limited number and variety of instruments. Performances were limited to a fall Home and School meeting, and an assembly for the student body in the spring, but the quality of the music was excellent. Everyone was pleased with the group's performance. Everyone needs a creative outlet. Art students found theirs in arranging colors and forms to express their individual feelings. Mrs. Meese headed the department for the sixth year, guiding Art I students through the basics of art history and the principles of design. Laboratory experiences in drawing, painting, three dimensional work, and handicrafts provided a sound basis for those wishing to go on to Art II. This class continued the laboratory experiences in major art forms: painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and handicrafts, working with less teacher supervision than the previous year. .,., .,,.A, gl , V ,Q V , my 7, 4, I My .. k V If W '. 1- ' ,, .

Besides these, there were also one lay member from each of the five parishes, each pastor, and Dr. Aug as a non-voting member and Executive officer.

Each person's spirit reflect- ed some aspect of his or her unique personalityg but all of these diverse colors blended together to create the school's spirit. Student Council attempted to boost the school's spirit by sponsoring a Spirit Week on February 25-29. Spirit Week consisted of Matchless Monday, Fifties Tuesday, Movie Star Wednesday, Overall Boot 'em Sock 'em Thursday, and Incognito Friday. On Friday, a pep assembly was held.

Pep Club was our smallest organization, but they showed their spirit by coming to the games to cheer and root our teams on to victory. People who like to eat participated in the Spanish Club.

When classes resumed after the Christmas holidays, the student body celebrated the New Year Liturgy. As the season of Lent approached, there were Masses scheduled in our school chapel which few teachers and students attended regularly. As the colors of the prism becomes iridescent in the sunlight so do the students reach their peak of individualism through our different and unique lights.

For the director, the play meant directing 26 actors and actressesg supervising the crew with construction and lightsg many hours of analyzing the symbolismsg and headaches, headaches, headaches! For a majority of the actors, the play meant memorizing long and detailed lines, understanding the symbolic meanings of lines and movementsg attending practice 1 1 9' almost every school night, staying up late to finish homeworkg and training one's voice, mind, and body to creat a BELIEVABLE character! For the crew of over 30 people meant designing and building the setg gathering and organizing props for 44 scenes, setting up and running lights, and taking orders from EVERYONE! But this dedication and hard work prompted the combination of all talents to create a highly successful Show. Layout by Wissbaum sf f H' Q I K Once upon a time in a book of dreams, there were three young maidens, one of which was to be crowned queen of the court. These three senior maidens were: GiGi Baker, Margaret Griesemer, and Brenda Rehagen. The crowning was an important winter event, all members' and former members of, the kingdom came to join in all the festivities. The first event was a contest, between all the yound lads of the kingdom and a neighboring kingdom, in the games of skill. The young maidens were presented by their fathers, and the other attendents by 'their favorite beaus. The ball was held the following eve on the fifth of January. Blade,,the best musicians in all the land, were found to provide music for the ball. At 10:00 p.m., the court ascended the stairs to wait for the reigning queen, Linda Castillon, to crown they newly chosen one. Eyes twinkled as the anticipation rose to a climax. The long-awaited event-the new queen, Brenda Rehagen, was crowned, and the kingdom watched happily as the court opened the ball with the traditional dance. As we returned the book to its proper place, we see that dreams can come true. ee ' 3135-T' 1'-'fllfif-if,'5?l!'i1'ik,f51'3 -'WN QQ- l 'JF5 ' QQ :,,,!fI-' , .4 .f , fr A,' l young maidens, e senior maidens gen. ers and former I. of the kingdom g maidens were - favorite beaus.

The Fighting Irish had many new tricks to learn which demanded many hours of devoted time and effort. Coach Patti Henderson, with an endless amount of patience and endurance, gathered a large variety of girls into two enthusiastic teams. The Varsity Volleyers ended their season with a 4-9 record, with the Junior Varsity finishing out at 1-6. The Irish gals' record was very deceiving. Many times games were lost by one or two pointsg but the Fighting Irish kept on in full force. The SCHS school system budgeted the sports department enough money to purchase brand new volleyball equipment: official-size net, referee platform, and leather volleyballs. The new set was much easier for the girls and Coach Henderson to manuever. With a year of experience behind them, the Irish girls are determined to gather many more victories in the future.

In the junior varsity tour- nament at Conway, our Irishmen brought home a second place trophy. Their record was a decent one in which it took players from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes. Midway through the season the J.V. had a change in coaches. Coach Bill Hyde took over the helm and helped the Irish finish their season. When asked about the season, Coach Hyde remarked, This past year many young men got many chances to play. This fact, he commented, will help the basketball program in the coming year. , The freshmf ended their average reel a variety abundance boys had h together for showed up members we and Junior of these fres goals are on work and e future sophc good work.

The season, how- ever, had its high points. The Irish defeated Nixa for the first time in three years. After trailing by as much as 17 points in the third quarter, the Irish propelled them- selves into the lead - with two minutes remaining and held on to win 59-58. The Irish were led by 6'1 three-year letterman Reggie Ver- furth with an average of 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. Mike Healey, 6'4 senior center, played organized basketball for the first time, came on to help lead the Irish, both defensively and offen- sively. Dan Eck, 5'11 senior guard, started spontaneously and always gave the Irish a lift. The basketball season, however, was marred by the loss of two juniors, Kelly Verfurth and Steve Sullivan. The loss affected the Irishg it gave the younger players more playing time. We feel as though the Irish have a bright future ahead of them.

The girls' season was a rebuilding one. There were five Freshmen, but no seniors on the team. The girls went winless, but with the talent of such players as Angela Hyde, with a .750 batting average and the leader in stolen bases, the girls' team can do nothing but get better. We wish the best of luck to both the baseball and softball in their upcoming season. 'Ju' ff f' -'1 ,FZ .

We planned to have a special eight page foldout on the parishes, however, money became tight and this-was impossible. It was necessary to fill these eight pages so we came up with the idea of featuring certain students in SCHS. Through random picking the staff selected twenty-four students .of various activities, personalities and classes. We then wrote features of their lives in high school. On this page we decided to introduce you to the 'three men that backed our schoolf Mr. Aug - Coordinator of Springfield Schools: Fr. Eftink '- Superintendent of Diocesan Schoolsg and Bishop Law - bishop of Springfield-Cape Girardeau Diocese. These are the men that have undertaken the responsibility of obtain- ing funds to operate Catholic education. These men have helped Catholic education and the following twenty-four people exist in a christian atmosphere.

Over his years in high school he had accomplished much both inside and out of school. With four years of basketball, two years of cross-country and one year of track he contributed a lot to our athletic program. Besides athletics Dan was also a natural leader which was shown through his roles as Student Council President, Junior Vice-President and Student Producer of 'tCurious Savage . Outside of school Dan worked for his father and did numer- ous summer jobs saving for college. With his above average grades a career as an Engineer is not unforeseen. Dan's excel- lence left its mark on our school. In her first year at S.C.H.S. Leslie Baker had no problem adjusting to high school life. With her outside interest in dance Leslie was always busy. Inside school her speech class will recall 'her show-stopping demonstration speech on jazz dancing. Leslie was an alternate Freshman cheerleader but usually cheered for every game. Her dance skills proved invaluable to the squad's pom pom routine. Her academic standing was also very impressive with second honors. Who knows what the future will hold for this well rounded individual? . y ' 17 514 Q, ' ,, ' 1742532355 kzhf' , f'.WJV'fev ' ff'Y? ' . 50 Lf , fzmf Zff c fg. 'v.41 'ffg:a4ig ' A2265 .

One can say their family is a prism and each child is a separate ray of the spectrum. David Eck, the eleventh of the twelve children, is different from every other Eck. As a Sophomore at our school David has completed two years of basketball. His unique and continuous smile is a quality one often notices in David. It will be interesting to see what contributions he adds to the school in the next two years. Ji As a Sophom school activit of the Varsiw excellent tra' hurdles.

His tall lanky body was very noticeable in the Sophomore class. To most people Patrick was quiet and shy, but with his friends he wou1dn't shut up. As for activities Patrick was Prop Chairman along with Dionne Firmin in Flowers for Algernon . But Patrick will be remembered as Dionne's Guardian Angel . Patrick Kappelman Dan Bowen It was refreshing to have a new face among our upperclassmen. After leaving Strafford High because it was not chal- lenging Dan Bowen decided to come to S.C.H.S. As a Junior Dan became a practicing r A Catholic receiving his First Communion from Bishop Law. Dan hopes to make his Confirmation within a year. His desire is to be a member of the track and football teams his Senior year. Due to the rules governing transfer students Dan had to forgo sports his Junior year. Besides school Dan also held a job at Wendy's on Glenstone for most of the school year. His person- ality added color to our school as do the rays of a prism. With an exceptionally large Freshmen class John Woolridge often got lost in the crowd but never in the class. His interest in diesel engines was revealed through observations and speeches in communication classes. John also showed much knowledge and interest in wars, doing tool work on leather, sketching, and jeeps. The later two, sketching and jeeps, were combined to produce the artwork below done by John. ,.-,. A -, - ' Tu . 'itvi-F Wi lm, E J 'J , A V V! . ww-fb l. - - ' ' yr ' ' 3 ff?

One also noticed the many different and unique ways she wore her hair. Her first love in school was Home Ec. where she enjoyed making many of her own clothes. In other subjects even when times were hard she always had on a smile and never let it get her down. SCHS will always remember that smile of her's on dreary Monday mornings when everything looked bleak. Chris Zucchini gave up many school activities for her first love - swimming. As a member of the Springfield Swim Club, Chris spent long hard and physically punishing hours perfecting her technique. She did, however, find time this year to appear in the Irish Players' productions. Her most memorable character was that of the spoiled brat in ALL THAT GLITTERS . . . Chris' curly auburn locks and, effervescent personality had no trouble being noticed in the halls of our school. Chris Zucchini Following along with the SCHS tradition of sports, Steve Quinn was an active participant. By his junior year he had played football, softball and was working on weight lifting. He was also a member of the newspaper staff and through his talents created the name of the semester magazine fJefferson Street Journalj. Outside of SCHS Steve worked at Wendy's and found time for the girls. You little devil youll Steve Quinn ss V' 3 Mary Petersen Most of Mary Petersen's life was spent working at the Shanghi Inn where she was a diligent cashier. However, when she was at school her wit and charm often helped ease the tension during trying times like exams. Her fellow Seniors will always remember her black Monte Carlo which was her pride and joy. She was planning to attend college following graduation, but hadn't decided on a career. Through her hard work and dedication she will surely find happiness in the future. X x Linda Speil students.

Linda Speilman ......-..........-...,. Joe Howard As an accomplished musician, Joe Howard was indeed an asset to S.C.H.S.'s Jazz Band. He enjoyed performing immensely. Joe's afternoons as a junior were spent at Vo-Tec where he took Computer Programming, He was a quiet person to most, and definitely opinionated on some subjects. With one year left at S.C.H.S. it will be interesting to see what instrument Joe will be playing next year in the band. 3 an 91921 ' Tim Ponder In his last year at SCHS Tim Ponder's life centered outside of school even though he enjoyed it. If Tim wasn't at work at the United Health Center he was at J .A. There Tim was a member of the radio station KJAC sponsored by KICK. This was beneficial for he hopes to pursue a career in marketing and music after college. Steve Urban, the youngest of the Urbans that attended S.C.H.S. was very quiet. However, as the year progressed he became more verbose. He was an avid baseball fan which was obvious in his speeches in Communication class. His Saturdays were spent mowing lawns to make some spending money. Steve's excellence in scholastics was a tremendous achievement and hopefully through his hard work and dedication it will continue in his next three years at S.C.H.S.

In her freshmen year Jenni competed in the State Music Festival in Columbia where she received an outstanding rating of II. Jenni also took gymnastics and aerobic dancing which she demonstrated in her Speech I class. Long blonde angel hair was another of her assets. As an enthusiastic fan of SCHS she will undoubtedly be involved in many activities. One could say that Sean Donegan's high school life had been anything but ordinary. In his senior year Sean married Cheryl Stone. Then in December of 1979 they were blessed with a child, Erin Elizabeth. Sean adjusted in his new roles of father, husband and provider, with maturity and responsibility. In the second semester, while still at SCHS Sean enrolled at SMSU, getting a head start on his college career where he plans to major in conservation. Many of Sean's choices for the future have already been made and with Godis blessings Sean and his family will succeed! Sean Donegan David Exline The strong silent young man in the freshman class who excelled in the classroom and on the athletic field was known as David Exline. Beginning the basketball season as a starter on the freshman team David was quickly moved to JV and then to the varsity teams - the only freshman to hold such an honor. David also ran cross country and track. As for scholastics David held an A-B average. He was one of the few people who really made use of that first period study hall. David has made his mark on SCHS and will continue to achieve in the future. i :sf 1 V. 'ALI It was sad to see BJ leaveuour school in the middle of his sophomore year. Yet the year and a half he was here he contributed much to the school. His freshman year was highlighted by being on the football team and a class officer. As a sophomore he was co-class editor of the yearbook and once again a member of the football team. BJ was a quiet person to most people but when he did say something it was useful, well needed, and often vital to the conversation. We will miss BJ and wish him the best of luck in Delaware.
