It is out of respect and gratitude to them. Just to give you a brief look at them - - - Sr. Catherine is a stately woman with a generous heart and welcoming smile. She helps all the kids the best she can and takes a personal interest in each student from frosh to senior graduate. She is an easy person to speak with and is willing to listen to anyone completely. She is a unique sort of person and many admire and appreciate her a great deal. Mr. Foy is a somewhat new attraction at St. Teresa’s. A first for vice-principals here, Mr. Foy has made it pleasant for most (but a bit hard for certain people!) He is outgoing and has a welcome smile in the halls or classrooms. He, too, cares about young people and tries to lead them in the right direction. We are proud and happy to include him and hope he will stay many years to keep the future “demons” in line. Good Juck and God bless you both! —_ sa O.. . oe isl Lf OC 7 4 Ll . STUDENT COUNCIL Standing-P. Peters, M. Ernst, T. Flynn, R. Ferry, A. Cabrera, T. Daugherty, D. Lees, K. Wall, D. Balance, J.

They would later regret this statement, because St. T would become the Illinois 2A State Champions. The first contest was merely revenge. The Bulldogs had never beaten SDHS until the 30-0 whipping. In the first four games the Bulldogs outscored their opponents 164-0. The high point game being a plastering of Arcola 68-0. The hectic game with Lakeview ended with a climactic finish. The Spartans ended the early season of zeroes, but the Bulldogs wound up on top 39-6, Squeaking by the Rockets 29-20, the Bulldogs mauled St. Joe 42-13. With the conference title in sight, the team strolled on over to Monticello where it walked over the Sages 34-14. Tuning up for the playoffs, St. T. skalped the Redskins of Sul- livan quite respectably 42-12, Go get ‘em, Coach!

Picked by all due to size and strength, again the Bull- dogs proved the press wrong as the “little Davids” of St. T stoned the “‘Goliaths” from Watska 20-8, With nerves growing tighter, a 34 game winning streak on the line, the Bulldogs defeaded the Alexis Cards 15-6 in a thrill- ing match. The amazing fact St. Teresa was the state champ and didn't come to realize it until about ten miles outside of Deca- tur. Here over 100 cars started to file in behind the hometown heroes returning from the battle after destroying the forces of all thirteen enemies they had met. a : 7. —s iy %: FEA “ee REY: —— ea.

Irving Berlin born. November 20, 1888. William L. Bundy patents the time clock The Uncle Sam Chronicles As a young nation, America didn't have all that much time for fads and crazes, since most of us were more concerned with mundane things like clearing fields, building cabins, farming, raising children and working. When people did get together for a little fun, well, there were always witch trials, or killing buffalo from the observation car of a transcontinental train. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were patrons of cock fighting, and by the mid-1800's phrenology became popular. Generally, however, there just wasn't very much to do. Leisure industries didn’t boom until the 40 hour work-week became widespread. Cycling was introduced in the 1860's. The first were unicycles known as Flying Yankee Wheels. They were popularized by gymnasts, but sales dropped when people began to discover that it took a gymnast to ride one. High-wheeled bicycles followed, and the taller a rider was, the bigger a front wheel he could straddle. Short men took up tricycles. By the turn of the century the bicycle’s back wheel was the same size as the front and bicycling became the first true fad, followed quickly by roller skating, and then roller polo, which was a kind of ice hockey on wheels. When the Civil War ended, fighting men brought home a wide assortment of diseases, and an insatiable demand for remedies and patent medicines. Cures were invented for liver ailment, falling hair, tuberculosis, flabbiness, Impotency, indigestion, cancer, polio, and warts. You could order any of them from a wholesale house in Chicago or St. Louis, for 25¢ plus postage and handling. Two reasons for the popularity of these remedies were the most common ingredients: alcohol and opium. Even if people weren't actually cured, at least they didn't care so much. Trading Cards swept the nation in the mid- 1880's, depicting baseball players, politicians, and music hall performers. Playing cards were circulated with caricatures of political figures, and there were even trading cards that pictured patent medicines. Jazz music’s journey up the Mississippi from New Orleans to Chicago 1s well chronicled, but by the turn of the Twentieth Century it was another indigenous musical form, Ragtime, that was sweeping the country. Nothing remotely as popular appeared on the musical scene until Bill Haley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry and their friends blew open the 1950's, June, 1888. George Eastman patents and registers his Kodak No. 1, a camera which uses roll film and does not require a tripod or table for support. 1889, Elizabeth Cochrane, a reporter for the New York World using the name Nellie Bly, travels around the world in 72 days.

Hawaii is annexed. The Uncle Sam Chronicles In 1923, Joseph Babcock transliterated an ancient Chinese game and copyrighted it as Mah Jongg. Mah Jongg was a flash fad. The whole country played it for several months, then the bottom dropped out, leaving 32 million in unsalable Mah Jongg boards in the hands of retailers. The twin crazes of prohibition and bootlegging totally dominated the 1920's, engrossing the entire population, but with the onset of the Great Depression, hysterical frivolity took on unforeseen dimensions. Flagpole sitting became a national sport, and college students took to swallowing hundreds of live goldfish at a single sitting. While never as popular, phonograph record eating provided considerable diversion. Chain letters promising huge fortunes were circulated widely during the depression, and the whole country began playing miniature golf. World War II provided a sobering influence. The population put aside the frantic pursuits of the previous two decades and began saving string and aluminum foil, and blacking out huge cities at night. By the end of the war, America was ready for Frank Sinatra, the biggest heartthrob since Rudolph Valentino. Frankie faded, but was soon followed by Johnny Raye, Frankie Laine, Eddie Fisher, Julius LaRosa, Pat Boone, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Robert Goulet and Alice Cooper. Fess Parker showed up in 1955 on Walt Disney's TV program as Davy Crockett, and caused every kid in the country to go out and buy a coonskin hat. These were worn while hula hooping, trampolining and go-karting. Comic books peaked in the 1950's, and pogo sticks, stilts, and yoyos underwent semiannual revivals. Backyard bomb shelters heralded the 1960's, a decade of political consciousness that was captioned by pithy bumper stickers of every persuasion. Frisbees were thrown everywhere, underground newspapers were published, and rock music became even more a part of everyday life. The 60's were years of unrest, assassinations, turmoil, riots and social change. They left America stunned, tired and ready for the 70's and the decade’s biggest fad: nostalgia for the remnants of every other decade of the century. July 3, 1898.

As we posed here, we had many thoughts running thru our minds. Most would say, ‘Well, that’s over finally!’ meaning school as well as yearbook. But we realize there were twelve MORE pages to finish in two days. The usual came to mind —— “There will be work on yearbook in the cafeteria on Tuesday and Wednesday. All members come! Yearbook has been a rewarding and exciting experience.. We had our share of disagreements and the usual absent members. Somehow with the spunk of some loyal and trustworthy mem- bers and now friends, we survived the clutches of fate. We've taken a big chance this year. “What if the kids don’t like the book? That question has run thru our minds at least 50 million times and will until this book gets to you. Hopefully, every- one will like it, .. and if they don’t, well, there’s only one thing left to do - ——— STIFLE YOURSELVESIIIIIHIHIEttiiint There are many TRUE members to thank. We'll just say that you know who you are —— the ones that helped so consistently. Thanks as well to Larry Turner, our pro-photographer, who came thru with immediate results (pictures)! Sister Diane and Mr. Molnar were our sponsors. Sister Catherine helped with an extra push now and then. AND Bob Donnelly, our man from the company behind the scene, deserves a giant thanks for teaching us our business and keeping us on our toes and on time for those deadlines. We'd also like to thank all our patrons and ad sponsors. Without all these people, a yearbook would have been an impossible dream! Thanks to all!!! Your editors, Chery!

WE DO NOT REMEMBER DAYS; WE REMEMBER MOMENTS. Our first big scare was freshmen initiation! We had heard how bad it was, but Piggy Morthland and Miss Rick Burger showed that it could be fun! Next on the list of activities was the Freshmen Float! It was said that the Frosh float always looked terrible and our class was no exception with our theme, “Disconnect the Rockets.” We all wondered if the teachers would differ from our grade school teachers. Most of us found the answer with English | and Sister Virginia Marie! Then there was Mr. Lux. Sophomore year was a little more difficult. One big problem was trans- portation. Only 1 soph had his license and with Smitty‘s perfect driving record we were all standing in line to drive with him in his ‘65 Plush Chevy. As a class we did grow up and as individuals we did mature a great deal. We, as a class have 1 year left together at St. Teresa and then each of us goes a separate way. We look around and see all the friends we have made in the past 3 years. These have been the best 3 years of our lives! We come together today, to capture, and possibly relive the good times we've had together, the sad times, and, as the class of 1976 , The friendships that will last FOREVER!!!

There Sister Catherine told everyone's plans for the future. It was a time to get re- acquainted with friends and have some last moment fun. The Graduation ceremony was solemn.
