Dan Eck M1132 f i ' 2 ., 4, ,wx , -fffffertf Szgfiizgv Being the tenth of twelve children didn't keep Dan Eck from being lost in the crowd. 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.

With her small petite body one could understand why she made Varsity Cheerleading her Sophomore year. Her jazz dancing outside school didn't hurt either. She kept busy in school by also being one of the Prop Chairmen in the 1980 play, Flowers for Algernon . She has done a considerable amount to help the school.

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.

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?
