Backstage Boogie. 12 “THE LITTLE PRINCE” A MAJESTIC PRODUCTION Her Majesty Mrs. Pangrac selects cast This year’s fall play was “The Little Prince” — a play about life, friendship, essentials and caring. That is how director Julie Pangrac, who adapted the play from the book of the same name, described it. Marc Korte played the title role. He is driven to leave his planet by a beautiful, but demanding rose, played by Heidi Huber. On his journey, he meets fascinating characters who teach him about friendship and “matters of consequence.” Mark Scott narrated the play, and Kevin Quinn played his counterpart, the pilot. Glenn Hoetker portrayed the snake, and Scott Douglas was the fox. Five student technicians ran stage lights, slide projectors and the spot light. The crew and the cast constructed a combination of black ramps, platforms and levels. This simple set could then become any place in the minds of the viewers. Pangrac said one of her favorite things about producing a play is the feeling of camaraderie among the cast and crew. In fact, the theme of “The Little Prince” reflects the emotions that the students and the director experience ... friendship, essentials and caring.

This show offered unparalleled entertainment on the musical and comical levels. The cast members displayed ingenuity and hard work. Dan Meyer and Kevin Quinn introduced the sixteen acts. These acts consisted of an all male choir, featured soloists, “a simply grand band,” a father-son act, a punk rock band, and female impersonators. The whole show met the expectations of its given theme under the direction of drama coach Julia Pangrac and music coach Tim McGlynn. 17 STUDENTS SHOW CREATIVE TALENTS A painting done by Mary Statzer.

The French Club offers students enrolled in French classes an opportunity to learn more about French history, culture and cuisine. With Mrs. Carey Wood as sponsor of the 1982-83 club, that is exactly what club members were able to do. In the fall, the club traveled to Springfield to see a performance of Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac, the biographical story of a Frenchman with the longest nose in France who aids another in winning the heart of the woman he loves. The play was performed in an instant replay style with a scene first done in English followed by it being done again in French. In the spring, the club had a dinner featuring typical French dishes. 58 SPANISH CLUB ENJOYS NATIVE DANCES Front Row, L to R: Melissa Yoars, John Hayes, Beth Morrison, Dan Duhamcll, Carmen Meyer, Kim Marquardt, Lisa Harsha, Mary Hance, Kim Allen.

With Mrs. Carey Wood as sponsor, club members were able to learn more about the Spanish culture through a variety of activities. In September they joined with Areola s Spanish Club for a game of soccer, a favorite pastime of Spanish-speaking people, followed by a Spanish dinner with all the trimmings. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the club had their own dinner which was highlighted by the exchange of valentines written entirely in Spanish. The traditional pinata, a figure made of paper stuffed with candy that blindfolded club members tried to break open with a stick, provided a challenge for all the students. The club also traveled to Decatur to attend a performance of the Alejandro Dondines Spanish-American Dance Troop where they were able to view many native dances and see traditional costumes. 59 STUDENT COUNCIL PROMOTES INVOLVEMENT Student Council sponsors Lincoln’s visit.

It seems that this year the Cross Country team was really up and running — literally. This was the first year that girls ran on the team and the first year that Tuscola went to Sectionals as a team. The long, hard, seemingly-endless practices really paid off! Practice was held every day after school. The usual warm-up was a six mile run and then quarter-mile sprints. At the meets, the boys ran three-mile races, and the girls ran two-and-a-quarter-mile races. April Hanner, a Sophomore runner, said, “The guys treated us as equals and encouraged us to do our best. We didn’t have to run as far as the guys in our meets, but our practices were the same. There was usually at least one other girl on the opposition at most meets.” The Greg Weaver Memorial Running Award is given to an underclassman each year. One runner is selected by his team members according to his contributions to the team as a whole and the effort he gives. This year’s recipient was Jeff Davis, a junior. ... and they’re off!!

The team started practice in August and continued throughout the football season, putting many long hours of preparation into the games. The benefits from these many practices were evident during the entire season as the team showed steady improvement. As the defense racked up more tackles each game, the offense’s passing game became more precise. The entire team and their coach are to be commended for the fine effort they put forth. 93 WARRIORS MAKE SWEET SIXTEEN Murray on the opening tip The ’82-’83 Varsity basketball team definitely possessed winning qualities which arc what victories arc all about. Starting out their season with a 20 point victory over St. Teresa, the varsity team began an incredible season filled with many striking accomplishments. After losing to Unity in the third game. Coach Gene Murray was concerned about what the loss may have done to any hopes for an Okaw Valley Championship. They then went on to become second place winners in the Shiloh Tourney, and hopes were raised. This is when the tables of defeat were turned. Through hard work and much encouragement from the whole town, the varsity team set out to go as far as they possibly could. The outstanding Warrior defense was the key to the Jamaica Tourney. Only losing 3 of the 13 games, the Warriors brought home the trophy. With this victory the Warriors became Okaw Valley Co-Champions. At the Areola Regionals the Warriors did not give anyone a chance. Defeating all 3 teams by at least 15 points, the Warriors once again brought home the championship trophy. They then became the Areola Regional Champions! The Warriors were headed for the Super Sectionals with only the Tuscola Sectionals in their path. Up against Chrisman and St. Joe. Tuscola played two tension-filled games. Even though their opponents accused them of being boring, the Warriors played strong and effectively. This gave the Warriors another new title. Sectional Champs. The Tuscola Warriors had made it. As the final game of their season, the Warriors were faced with a tournament which had only been played once before in Warrior history. The Millikin Class A Super Sectionals saw the Tuscola Warriors heartbrcakingly fall to the Nokomis Redskins in double over-time which ended in a final score of 49-47. At the sports banquet 4 Tuscola Warriors received mention on the All-Okaw Valley Conference Basketball team.

This spirit is evident each time the members wear their letter jackets or uniform jerseys. Through fund raising activities such as the sale of soft drinks at basketball games, the club helps purchase athletic equipment for the school district. Sponsored by Coach Bruce Nofftz, this is one organization of which our school can be proud. Warriors prepare for battle.

Many area schools went in debt and were considering consolidation as a way out. A state survey began in 1982 to determine who would benefit from consolidation in this area, but Mr. Don Chappell, Board president, said, “We haven’t had too much in the way of reports on benefits of consolidation.” With comparably new buildings and little financial Mr. Bob Travis, Vice-President Mr. Carl Conner trouble, the majority of our board members think consolidation would be a good idea for Tuscola but said it could take years to materialize. Tuscola’s schools operate on a $3 million budget and have afforded many modern advancements, including an abrasive planner for industrial arts and computers for business classes. All three Tuscola schools now use computers in classes. However, some programs suffered in 1982-83. The high school’s cafeteria system was one. The board implemented a program in which the high school’s meals 108 Mr. Robert Reeder Mr. Roy Stephen Mr. William Butkovich, Principal Mr. Jack Williams, Superintendent were prepared in East Prairie’s efficient kitchen and trucked to the high school. Daily lunch tickets were also increased from $.90 to $1. They cost $.55 in 1980. Although the changes saved $6,000 to $7,000, the cafeteria still showed a deficit. A soup and sandwich type lunch may eventually be adapted for the schools, according to a board member. It was also predicted that Tuscola will receive $166,000 less state revenue in 1983-84, but this loss may not affect the school greatly. Thousands of dollars were spent in the early 80's to fix the high school’s roof and furnace, so future repairs should be minimal. Tuscola will not have the need to spend as much money as they have recently. In any case, while many area schools are in “sink or swim” situations, our board has kept us afloat. Only when the waves have settled will we sec the reflections of the school board's work today. Note: Mr. Wally Wax is not pictured. 109 The teaching staff of THS. Ms. Cox discusses U.S. History.

YEARBOOK [IFFIX Jim, Carl, and Glenn brainstorm. Copy, Photography, and Production Editors. Nater trims negatives. When people ask “Why are you in yearbook? ’ the most natural reply would probably be “because it’s fun.” Stating for the record, fun is one of the most misleading words to use in describing yearbook. Yearbookers arc a strange type of people. They enjoy being pushed and yelled at to get their copy written and typed, layouts designed, photos flawlessly produced, and deadlines met. Okay, maybe they don't exactly enjoy it, so why do yearbookers keep coming back each Monday night at 6:30 year after year? Before stating the answer to that one, you must first take a look at the type of people who are in yearbook. Production and copy workers David, Carl, Glenn, Dena, Lynnette, Melanie, with editors David and Diane: photographers Paula, Jim, Bruce, Nater, with editor Kim all have something in common. They’re achievers. This is what separates them from the other people who would have given up after the first 7:00 headache. Achieving a goal such as constructing an excellent quality yearbook that will serve as a realistic reminder of the high school years is indeed an accomplishment. I congratulate them on a job well done. Special thanks go to sponsors Miss Ellen Tubbs and Mr. Warner Eiben who spent countless hours in addition to the Monday meetings and made that goal more tangible. Mark Smalling, Mark Smith, Dan Coile, and the Tuscola Review arc also recognized and thanked for their help and cooperation throughout the year. All of this is not to say that there weren’t any good times along the way. In April, yearbook staff members escaped to EIU for the day and attended workshops to inspire and reinforce skills. There were other times during the year when staff members congregated at Monical's for an evening snack and welcome release of tension. These times allowed friendships to form where there might normally have been none. So you see, frustrating, disappointing, worrisome, and dangerous to your health may be more suitable words to describe yearbook as opposed to fun. However, most of the staff members will agree that the best choice to describe this final feeling while reflecting on the year is satisfying.
