TUSCOLIAN 1984 “Being on Time” Tuscola High School 500 S. Prairie St. Tuscola, IL 61953 Volume LXIV Activities...............7 Seniors...............19 Classes................35 Clubs.................53 Sports................87 Staff................109 MR. WILLIAM BUTKOVICH RETIRES FROM SCHOOL SYSTEM Displaying his athletic ability at the University of Illinois. Lounging after a hard day of studies. As a new teacher at Bradley Bourbonnais. A quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams might have had him in mind when he wrote: “The way to succeed at quarterback is to call the unexpected consistently.” For 28 years he called the plays both on and off the field at TCFIS. His football teams were conference champions; his student body learned the discipline which molds character. Mr. William Butkovich, who has been involved with the Illinois public school system for 35 years, retired at the end of the school year. Mr. Butkovich attended the University of Illinois where he played football and baseball and received a bachelor’s degree in education with a major in physical education and a minor in biological science. He then went on to Eastern Illinois University to receive a master's degree and an advanced certificate in administration. He first went to work at Bradley-Bourbonnais High School as a football and baseball coach and as a drivers’ education, biology and physical education teacher. He taught there for 7 years. Mr. Butkovich then came to Tuscola in 1956 where he coached football and track and taught physical education, drivers’ education and health. He remembers being a little nervous while instructing new drivers. One of his fondest memories of this time is of how his fellow teachers helped him when he needed it. He was ill, and they took over his classes for him so he could get some rest before the crucial conference football championship game. “Those people were great!” he said. After nine years as a teacher and head football coach, Mr. Butkovich became the principal of TCHS. He tackled the turbulance of the ’60s and ’70s with determination, and seeing steady and positive improvements in the '80s, has taken great pride in the accomplishments of his graduates. Mr. Butkovich has seen many changes in the school system since 1956. One was the decrease in enrollment from 1700 students in the system to the present enrollment of slightly more than 1000. Another was the construction of separate school buildings for elementary, junior high and high school. Mr. Butkovich will be remembered for his unwillingness to compromise for a time; for a longer time we will remember his willingness to listen. As one season of play ends, another begins. We hope that his new game plan includes many opportunities to enjoy his retirement, secure in the knowledge that he called the plays with honesty and integrity — consistently. 4 Celebrating his 60th birthday in 1984. Observing an assembly. Addressing students at an assembly. SCHOOL SYSTEM LOSES VALUABLE SECRETARY Sending a message over the intercom. Selling a lunch ticket to Richard Rentsch. This year also marked the retirement of Mrs. Mildred Grubb, a secretary in the Tuscola school district for 29' : years. She began as a secretary at North Ward High School for principal Reeve Norton and superintendent J. H. Uammack. Her daughter was a starting freshman that year. She was able to watch both her daughter and her son go through high school. She liked working with high school students as they helped keep her informed of the current trends. A big change in her career was the moving of high schools from North Ward to the present school in 1957. The principal at that time was Charles Whalen. Mrs. Grubb recalls dreading the big move. “Everything had to be packed and sent and arranged in the new school.” She stated that the move was a smooth, organized operation. Before the new school was finished, Mrs. Grubb remembers taking a tour of the new building and thinking she would never be able to find her way around. She worked for four principals at this school, including since 1965 Mr. Butkovich. Mrs. Grubb has no set plans for the future; however, she intends to spend some time with her parents and to visit her son in Hawaii. We wish her well in her retirement. 5 I A typical day at Tuscola High School has no set beginning or ending. The day could begin as early as 7 a.m. with a show choir rehearsal and last as late as 11:30 p.m. when the last yearbook staffer heads home. One thing is certain, however, and that is that each person is conditioned to do two things, watch the clock and, more importantly, be on time! The following is a representative daily schedule of some of the activities for which we must be on time: 7-8:20 a.m. exercising — basketball, weightlifting, running; arriving at “Swish” at North Ward on Fridays; show choir rehearsals; class meetings; prom committee meetings. 8:20-9:10 a.m. first period class — It’s easy to be late for this one! 9:15-10:05 a.m. second period class 10:10-11 a.m. third period class 11:05-11:55 a.m. fourth period class 12-12:35 p.m. lunch; rushing home to watch a few minutes of a favorite soap; club meetings; club activities — FFA petting zoo, FHA Mr. Legs contest; yearbook and play tickets sales. 12:40- 1:30 p.m. sixth period class — It’s even easier to be late for this one! 1:35-2:25 p.m. seventh period class 2:30-3:20 p.m. eighth period class 3:25-6:30 p.m. sports’ practices; cheerleading and pom pon tryouts; spring sporting events. 6:30-? p.m. fall and winter sporting events; band and chorus concerts; yearbook meetings on Mondays; more club meetings and banquets; drama productions; scholastic bowl matches; dances and get-togethers. 6 ACTIVITIES 7 HOMECOMING DANCE HIGHLIGHTS WEEK’S ACTIVITIES Scott Hines shows spirit is flying high. All the pageantry of Homecoming started on Monday. Monday was Backwards Day. There were people walking around everywhere with their clothes reversed. Tuesday was Pajama Day. Students and teachers were walking around in their bedclothes. At noon in the cafeteria, it was more like eating breakfast than lunch. Wednesday was Opposite Day. There were guys dressed like girls, and some guys were not that bad looking! The girls were dressed like blue-collar workers and gang members. Thursday was Punk-out Day. Orange or purple hair, multi-striped clothes, and outlandish hairstyles were just some of the occurrences. People had to wear sunglasses just to protect their eyes from the bright colors. Friday was the big day. Everyone wore black and gold. The people in the halls looked like a swarm of bumblebees. The juniors and sophomores won the week long tape contest. After school was dismissed at 2:15, there was a parade. Classes and many of the clubs had floats. The football teams, cross country teams, volleyball team, cheerleaders, pom-pon squad, and the marching band all participated in the parade. The parade was climaxed by a big pep rally downtown. Although spirit was high, the team lost the game. At halftime it was learned that Art Club was the first place float and Latin Club was the second place float in the clubs division. The Freshmen won first place and the Sophomores won second place in the class floats. Coronation followed the game. After the introduction of the football players and their escorts, it was learned that Dena Pickett and Justin Walker had become Homecoming Queen and King. They led the first dance while Chaos played “Open Arms . The band continued to play until after 1:00 am. All in all, the 1983 Homecoming was both exciting and memorable.

Prom night 1984 began with picture-taking and dining at fine restaurants in the Mattoon — Charleston area. The band started playing at 8:30 p.m. in the old ballroom at Eastern Illinois University which caused a race to the center of the dance floor by some anxious rock ’n rollers. Chaos played many popular songs and had the crowd really moving. Allen Weaver was unable to control himself and joined the band on stage on more than one occasion. At a little past ten o’clock, Jeff Davis read the class will. It was followed by the announcement that Jim Clark and Leigh Ann Wilcox were the year’s king and queen. Jim and Leigh Ann then danced to the theme song “Just You and I.” Neither the band nor the crowd wanted to quit at eleven, but a curfew forced the prom to end. Most prom-goers continued the festivities by going to Turkey Run State Park or Six Flags the next day. All in all, the prom was both enjoyable and memorable for those who attended. 12 Nikki Schultz and M. Stahlcr cool off with punch. Prom attenders watch dancing while they rest.

Not only that, but it also gave us a chance to play with kids that age. And how the kids did play! Not only did the entire cast go out into the audience to play with the kids before the show, but most of the children got the chance to be part of the play; some went through a “time warp“ machine; others were part of the climactic circus. The theme of the play was imagination and remembering both the joys and the traumas of being eight In one of the most memorable scenes. Bobby, played by freshman Doug Sievers, shared his feelings about his sweetheart Wintergale with the audience. Both the audience, which was standing room only on opening night, and the cast got to relive this memory and others such as classroom poems, baseball games, circuses, parents, and of course, dreaming about being grown-up. Each of these memories was presented with energy and enthusiasm by a creative and exciting cast. The cast, which had a large number of freshmen and sophomores, contained five lead players and twenty supporting actors. The energy which the presence of all twenty-five brought to the opening scene was never lost. It was especially evident in the acting of Dalene Moore, who played Tommy. Dalene nearly stole the school scene with her display of paper-wad flipping. Despite the long weeks of rehearsal the cast felt that the enjoyment of performing the play was well worth the effort. As Sharon Lake, who was Wintergale to her audience, described it, “After a while you stopped acting and almost became the character of an eight or nine year old. Then you saw the looks on the kids faces in the audience and on the stage, and that made it all worthwhile.” Mary Hance with circus performers. 14 “Lonnie” performs drum solo. “Circle Games Time Machine in action. 15 OKLAHOMA! Laurey and Curly sing “Oklahoma” at their wedding Will — Scott Hines — gives Ado an “Oklahoma Hello Aunt Eller Darla Pickett — gives advice T A f Mr. Carnes confronts Ali Hakim Mike Melanson Cast and Chorus onstage with director McGlynn Curly flirts with Gertie — Katrina Ross Ado Annie -to Aunt Eller Jud laments his loneliness in his song “Lonely Room” Heidi Huber — speaks Ali shows Jud his new postcards. The spring production of Oklahoma had a number of firsts involved in it. It was the first musical at Tuscola High School for over five years; it was the first drama production for many of the cast, including the leads; it was the first play directed by Mr. McGlynn. Rehearsals started early, but still the cast felt the pressures of time. Mary Hance, who played Laurey, pointed out that the many activities the members of the cast were involved in made it difficult to plan practices. However, the time was used well, and soon the cast members, which consisted mainly of sophomores, were confident actors. The two seniors on the cast. Bob Davis, who played Mr. Carnes, and Glenn Hoetker, who played Jud Fry, were able to help this process due to their experience, but soon the talent of the cast plus the skilled directing of Mr. McGlynn carried the show in rehearsal. Despite the hours of work every member of the cast felt that the show was worthwhile. Robert Bennett, who played Curly McClain, said, “Each time we worked together we learned something, then showtime was here, and we got to apply all that we had learned. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun.” Mr. McGlynn also voiced that sentiment. “At first I didn’t recognize the enormous amount of work that this project was going to involve. But once we got started, the kids were great. I’m sure I learned at least as much as they did, and they made it very easy for me to learn.” It was obvious that the public also considered the play a lot of fun, as all three nights’ performances were sold out. The general livelihood of the occasion was added to by the presence of the chorus, plus several others, in two production numbers and a number of other scenes. All who saw Oklahoma will be happy to know that they can look forward to more excellent performances from the many members of the cast who will be returning next year. 17 SPRING ART SHOWS FEATURE STUDENT TALENT Shawn Rideout proudly displays his cedar chest. Mike Melanson's pencil drawing shows his talent. Once again students at TCHS were able to show off their artistic talents during the art show and the industrial arts show in May. The art students displayed their works in conjunction with the spring choral program. Ceramics, jewelry, drawings and paintings were on display. The I.A. students had their woodworking projects on display during the last week of school. These various works were excellent examples of the artistic ability, the expert craftmanship and the hard work of TCHS students. Kelly Williams' dining table was exhibited in the I.A. show. Ron Davis’ waterbed was featured in the I.A. show. 18 An athletic shoe becomes a work of art. SENIORS 19 STEVE L.

The projects give.the students a chance to do research into areas of Roman culture which interest them and then to share their new knowledge with the rest of the class. As the end of school approached, the students gathered one evening at Miss Cox’s apartment for a miniature Roman banquet. Here they feasted on such culinary delights as Greek salad, pitas and leukomati, a Greek doughnut. It was a fitting climax to a year that was enjoyed by all. Freshmen wear “traditional” Roman dress.

Our theme played a very important part in the construction of this yearbook. Being at Monday night meetings by 6:30, taking pictures during scheduled activities and having pages completed and in the mail by set deadlines were our main goals for being on time. We feel the staff and sponsors have done a terrific job on this book. Without their hard work none of this book would have been possible. Most of our gratitude goes to the guidance, leadership, and friendship of our sponsors Miss Tubbs and Mr. Hart. They spent countless hours developing negatives, printing pictures, finishing pages left half done, being ready to work before 6:30 meetings and handling other yearbook duties before, during and after school. Our staff is also to be thanked and congratulated on their work. Those in photography, Paula Hancock, Rob Gentry, Janet Hill, Kent Jones, Cindy Lohr and Mike Manzella under the direction of Mr. Hart, were always busy taking pictures and preparing them for the production staff. The production members, Carl Bauer, Lynnette Harris, Glenn Hoetker, David Kimball, Jennifer Bennett, Rob Bennett, Dan Duhamell, Buffy Hahn, Mary Hance, Mark Kohlbecker. Mike Melanson, Karen Moss, Jeff Thompson, and Scott Winn, were active drawing up layouts, cropping pictures, and writing those unloved captions.

In a meet featuring Villa Grove, the Tuscola runners took three of the top four places. One of the seniors, Bob Davis, represented Tuscola at the sectional competition. There he placed 35th out of the 131 runners. Bumper Ferguson was presented with the Greg Weaver Award at the fall sport’s banquet for his outstanding contribution to the team as well as for his tireless effort.

The J.V. volleyball team had an excellent year under first year coach Kerry Kincaid. Their final record was 14-5.

With beginning athletes like these, Tuscola’s future volleyball teams should be outstanding! The varsity volleyball team had an all-around strenuous year of learning. The team was also made up mainly of underclassmen with just three seniors (all returnees), seven juniors, and two sophomores. Their final record was 10-13. Award winners were as follows: All Conference — Kelly Young, Mary Murray, Cindy Davis, and Karen Roedder: Most Promising Underclassman — Sandy Kohlbecker; Most Improved — Mary Murray; and Most Valuable Player — Karen Roedder.

The managers for the teams were Laura Hines and Laura Wright. The faithful helpers with stats and all-around gophers were Beth Young and Laura Vukelich. All four girls were always there and were willing to do odd jobs no one else had time to do. In addition to regular practices, the girls started lifting weights with the boys during P.E. hours and study halls to strengthen their bodies. All the time, hard work, and devotion were apparent by the results of the games. 91 WARRIORS EXHIBIT WINNING EFFORT Warriors take the field.

Starting the season with an almost entirely new squad, the TCHS Varsity Warriors made a good show of force. A hard hitting defense made them a potent threat to their opponents. An all new squad means a little roughness around the edges, but after the first few games the roughness was disappearing. They made a strong effort in every game, and it showed. Coach Bill Vangel was quoted earlier in the year as saying, “I don’t know what more we can do than provide the fans with a winning effort.” The Warriors did just that. This was shown by the large crowds and lots of fan enthusiasm. The football awards given out at the Fall Sports Banquet went to Jeff Young, Kenny Huber Tackle Award and Most Valuable Player (offense); Mark Wigall, Most Improved and Most Valuable Player (defense); Richard Rentsch, ABC Sportsmanship Award; and Eddie Phillips, Rotary Most Valuable.
