Tuscola High School - Tuscolian Yearbook (Tuscola, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1981 volume:

V TUSCOLIAN 1981 2 Welcome to the movies!! The stars? Tuscola High School students. The setting? Tuscola High School in the year 1981. This movie is free, and the scenes are permanent. The memories were caught in film, printed and placed in a program for the year. The movie is about a year in the life of a high school with its occupants coping with and adapting to everyday situations. If one looks hard enough, one may catch the stars in many poses, studying or having fun. Sometimes one may even find the stars arguing with the director. Soon, though, the lights will dim, the curtain will fall, and this premiere will be over. There will be many more premieres to come and many more new stars. Still, the subject of this movie will be permanently engraved in the lives of those who lived it. 3 IN APPRECIATION Coach Murray Being selected for the dedication of the Tuscolian is an honor that should be held by someone who is not only our teacher but our companion. It has taken a great amount of thought to find someone who meets these requirements. We feel that Coach Gene Murray is well suited for this dedication. In his 23 years at TCHS he has been active in coaching and teaching as well as unselfishly giving his time as Athletic Director. Through his personal and professional life Mr. Murray has instilled within us three fundamental rules for living: the desire to give our all in the attempt to succeed; the ability to accept defeat graciously if we have given our all; and above all, the knowledge that one must recognize the value of the individual as a person. 4 STAFF STAFF STAFF STAFF STAFF STAFF 5 BOARD OF EDUCATION The 1980-81 Tuscola School Board consisted of seven members: Mr. Robert Travis, Mr. Wally Wax, Mr. Al Borries, Mr. Roy Stevens, Mr. Don Chappell, Mr. Carl Conner, and Mr. Robert Reeder.

America, an 18 year old from Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico, stayed with the Edward Brown family. America stated that among her reasons for coming to the U.S. were to learn English, to observe the American way of life, and just to learn in general. Although America enjoyed her stay here, she commented that she has no desire to live here permanently. “The U.S. is simply a nice place to visit,” she said. America found the class schedules at Tuscola quite different from those in Mexico. While classes here arc mainly general education, the Mexican school system tends to stress courses according to occupational interests. America intends to return to the U.S. to attain her master's degree. When questioned about the similarities and differences between Americans and Mexicans, she said that Mexicans were, as a rule, more openly affectionate toward one another than are Americans. America enjoyed her stay in the U.S. and particularly in Tuscola because she became involved in so many extra-curricular activities. Among these were Student Council and volleyball. Let’s hope America enjoyed her stay in Tuscola as much as we enjoyed having her. The other foreign exchange student was Michael Otten. Michael, a 19 year old from the Netherlands, lived with the Don Hance family for the duration of his stay in the U.S. Michael commented that he came to the U.S. to experience life here and because he has always had a desire to tour in the U.S. Among Michael’s hobbies are music, photography, and films. He felt that the people here were very nice and extremely interested in making his stay here the best possible. When asked about the differences between his native country and the U.S., he said that energy was much more abundant here, and people can travel around with no problem. When questioned about the school system, Michael said that in the Netherlands each day is different. On some days, school is only four hours long, on others, six to seven hours long. During his stay in Tuscola, Michael was an active participant in Student Council. Michael’s reason for choosing the state of Illinois in particular was that he wanted to live in an agricultural area. 48 CLUBS J CLUBS CLUBS CLUBS CLUBS CLUBS NEVER A DULL MOMENT This typewriter has no money-back guarantee. Throughout the school year students interested in drama and theatre activities attended regular meetings on Thursday evenings.

As the 1980-81 school year draws to a close, we the editors feel obligated to say a few words about the past year. Through the diligent efforts of our staff, we feel we have produced a book of which we can be proud. However, the road to success hasn’t always been easy. We have met up with various obstacles such as pages and nonexisting pictures, “How are we going to fit this picture in that hole?!”, “What was that page number?!”, and numerous other problems. Yet in the end our faithful production members, Bonnie Webster, Chris Clevidence, Leann Williamson, Diane Kohlbcckcr, Patty Laley, and Dave Porter, came through. Under the direction of Rinda Anderson, the pages came right along. Then there was copy. This department ran into such difficulties as “Who is that kid?!”, “Is that spelled with an ‘a’ or an ‘e’?”, and “How many lines are you giving me?”, just to mention a few. Barb Studnicka, Theresa Mattix, Shelly Carter, Chris Weatherford, and Bobbi Dallas were the members of this department. Lori Ferguson was always around somewhere to offer “words of wisdom?”. Ah yes, pictures! What would a yearbook be without them? Definitely the backbone of the book. This department, which included Sandy Foreman, Anita Hartman, Dan Hance, Lynn Boyce, Mike Edgar, and Bruce Bird, put in many long hours. Monday night meetings which lasted far into the night and emergency Wednesday night meetings which were just as lengthy, were not uncommon. Thanks to the undying dedication of Gary Doud, photography editor, we feel the year has been captured and recorded on film and in this book. There are several people which should not go unmentioned. Nancy Holden was always willing and able to lend a hand in either copy or production. Debbie Adkisson deserves a big Thank-you for the Indian cartoons which you see throughout this book. Last, but certainly not least, is Amy Tague. Amy worked diligently as business manager throughout the year. Whether we needed something typed, filed; organized, or alphabetized, Amy was the one to sec. The editors would like to congratulate our sponsors, Mr. Eiben and Ms. Tubbs, on a job well done. Without them, we surely would have lost our grip on sanity several times throughout the year. In closing, we would only like to say that we've all enjoyed working on this book and we hope that you’re as pleased with it as we are. Read and enjoy!! 79 Bruce and Kim roll film.

With the experience gained and with mounting anticipation, next year should be an extraordinary season for the J.V. team. Good Luck Warriors! THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER The 1980 Cross Country team had quite an eventful season. Bill Englehardl began his first year of coaching with a rigorous training schedule which resulted in a 6-3 record.

The team lost to only two teams in duals and triangles. Two outstanding sophomores, Mark Smith, who went to State in the 400 meter run, and John Murray, who broke the Frosh discus record, contributed much to the success of the Warrior season. The 1600 meter relay team, consisting of Smith, Hines, Davis, and Murray, went to the Decatur Area Best Meet, returning with the 4th best time. Jeff Hines was the recipient of the outstanding senior track award. This award is given to the person who has added the most to the team during the past four years.

Mark Murray also won the team batting average trophy while teammate Mark Oakley earned the Most Valuable Player award. All in all it was a great season. When a whole team works together, look at what happens. Congratulations, Warriors! 122 STRANGE MAGIC STRANGE MAGIC was the theme for the 1980 Junior Senior Prom. The Juniors put a lot of work into the decorations, which helped to develop the chosen theme with a sense of realism. A sumptuous banquet, prepared by Mrs. Murray and friends, lent a touch of elegance to the evening's festivities. Servers for this year’s prom were Bobbi Utterback, Bonnie Webster, Chris Clevidence, Lori Ferguson, Jim Davis, Dan Hance, David Romine, and Jim Kestner. The dance was followed by a trip to Villa Grove where the movie The Jerk was shown. The next day was spent in leisurely enjoyment at Turkey Run or Six Flags. Yes, there was a “Strange Magic” in the air during prom this year. 123 124 GRADUATION ’80 Festivities for the 1980 Graduation began on Friday morning. May 30, 1980, at the Honors Day Ceremony.
