But time is relative, and so, without anyone to fill the time, the school year would be quite empty. (In fact, the school would be quite empty also.) Therefore, a Year in the Life at TCHS is also made up of Faculty Members, Underclassmen, Seniors, Athletes, Activity Participants, and Club Members. It is these people that make TCHS an enjoyable place to spend so much of one's time. (Or at least as enjoyable as a school can be.) These are the people who give us our dances, our assemblies, our concerts, our productions, our sports teams. But these people give us much more. They give us confidence and experience and spirit; they give us an education, and they give us friends. A Year in the Life at TCHS goes fast ... too fast. It should be taken day by day, one day at a time, for the entire year. But even then, it goes by too fast . . . much too fast. And what we, as living, breathing, human beings can not do, has been done by putting ink to paper, words to pictures, and ideas where there was only void. Before you lies a copy of the 1988 TUSCOLIAN, the instrument by which time has been stopped for the enjoyment of its participants. You now have the vehicle through which you can go back and reminisce. You hold the power to remember, to relive the good and the bad, the joy and the sorrow, the exhilaration and the pain — to relive the experiences of A Year in the Life. 3 4 A Day in the Life of a Faculty Member often goes unappreciated. We as students are good at complaining, but we have a long way to go in terms of showing gratitide. If it were not for our teachers, where would we be? (Yes, that is a compliment!) Teaching is no easy job. How would you like to spend your first few waking hours with a bunch of grumpy teenagers? (O-kay, we do, but then again, we are teenagers.) Attempting to teach a group of hungry 4th hour students is no easy task either. But wait, 7th hour is where the real entertainment begins. Getting a class full of unruly students in anticipation of the 3:20 bell to learn is a significant accomplishment. It takes every bit of know-how that our teachers have in order to keep students interested, awake, and out of trouble. Attempting to teach someone who has no desire to learn takes a great deal of determination, patience, and self-control. Frustration sets in easily, and yet our Faculty manages to prevent it from showing. Keeping their cool is what it's all about. Of course, maintaining a good sense of humor never hurt anyone. In fact, it is what gets them through the day. Laughter relieves the tension of an otherwise stressful situation. Cracking a joke tends to break the monotony of the constant book learning. We gain much more from our teachers than a simple knowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic. We learn how to interact with authority, how to become disciplined, and how to make a friend. We students owe a lot to our Faculty. Again, if it were not for our teachers, where would we be? (And yes, that is still a compliment!) 5 OARD AND ADMINISTRATOR Farewell, Mr. Williams The 1987-88 School Board — Front Row: Marion Armstrong, Deborah Rahn. Back Row: Dana Bishop. Robert Travis, Albert Borries, Wallace Wax, and Robert Cline. Mr. Jack Williams After 32 years as a teacher and an administrator, Superintendent Jack Williams announced this year that he would be retiring. Williams has been with the Tuscola School District for 27 years and has been superintendent since 1967. Mr. Williams leaves behind him a legacy of achievements. He has continuously worked toward maintaining the recognition and accreditation of the Tuscola schools by the State of Illinois. His most notable achievement was supervising the building of the East Prairie Middle School. Mr. Williams will be succeeded by High School Principal Jim Voyles. Voyles has served four years as principal preparing him to fill the shoes of a man who will be missed by all. Mr. James Voyles 6 ACULTY AND STAF Making the Grade at TCH5 Carolyn Adkins So, what did you get for 4? Kay Boyer Is this as fast as this thing will go? Alison Bowen Hurry up, I want to play!

Isn’t this just a jolly oT day? Stop throwing those pennies!!! Jeannie Weinland Diana Wilson Carey Wood 12 Julie Kohlbecker presents Mr. Kidwell with his very own Teacher of the Year plaque. In the beginning of May, TCHS students voted on Teacher of the Year. The school had to wait one month until Honor's Day to find out the results of the voting. During the June 3 ceremony it was announced that Mr. Richard Kidwell was the 1987-88 Teacher of the Year. Mr. Kidwell was born in Sullivan and raised in the small, central Illinois community of Bethany. It was there that he graduated from High School. In 1967 he graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a major in Math and minors in Physics and Chemistry. Just recently he received his Masters Degree in Education Administration. Mr. Kidwell has been a resident of Tuscola for twenty-one years, the same amount of time that he has taught at TCHS. He has said that teaching brings him the most enjoyable rewards. He has announced for the Warriors Boy's Basketball Teams for approximately fifteen years, and he hopes to become an administrator at the High School level one day. Mr. Kidwell is a self-made man. He has owned and operated his own painting business for eighteen years. He also owns several properties in the Tuscola area. His wife Donna, to whom he has been married for the past seven years, is the owner of Wood, Tin and Lace. Mr. Kidwell was quoted as saying, “I have an excellent family. He is the proud father of three children. He has a twenty-one year old daughter Kim, a thirteen year old daughter Ellen, and a four year old son Nicholas. When asked how he comes up with those infamous jokes of his, Mr. Kidwell replied, “I think most of them up on the spur of the moment.” He said that he is always on the lookout for puns, and that he enjoys one liners and material from M A S H. In response to being named the 1987-88 Teacher of the Year, he said, I loved it. It was an honor. I am very much delighted. Mr. Kidwell commented that the students are lucky to have so many fine teachers at TCHS. It is obvious that the students feel that Mr. Kidwell is one of those fine teachers; the award went to a well deserving educator. 13 A Day in the Life of an Underclassman is challenging to be sure. Often times, just coping with life's everyday struggles is enough to stress out the average Underclassman. It seems chat each individual class has a set of problems which is unique to itself. Freshman are the first ones in the classroom in the morning and are the last ones to leave it in the afternoon. (Dare we say that they need help?) Being the new kid on the block is a tough job, but someone has got to do it. Surviving semester exams and Freshman initiation are really their only long term goals. The Sophomores, better known as Sophomorons, are stuck between a rock and a hard place. As they look at the Freshmen milling in the halls, they often wonder if they ever acted so immature. (Surprise! You did!) But the most important thing in the life of a Sophomore is spending that one hour, twice a week with Mr. Burress. Once they get their driver's licenses, the Juniors are home free. They have high school all figured out. (Or so they think.) Though the ACT and planning Prom will pose minor'' problems in their lives, they are fairly well qualified to become Seniors. 15 Meet Matt and Geoff, the Zipperhead twins.

Being that the average Senior suffers from a chronic case of Senioritis, it is typical to find that the Senior is not always up to par. He barely arrives in time for school; he is often late for class; he acts as though he owns the school. And homework? (Well, we won't even mention homework!) The Senior is full of emotional dilemmas: What am I going to do with my life? What college am I going to attend? Should 1 call in sick or go to work? When am I going to sleep again?” With this assortment of problems, it is no wonder that so many of our graduating students suffer from Senioritis. The only things that keep the Senior going is the ringing of the 3:20 bell, the arrival of Friday, and the advent of Graduation. 36 Kristina DeAnn Adams Dentist Latin Club: 1. 2, 3. 4; Science Club: 4; JETS: 4; Tribe: 4: T-Club. 4; Volleyball: 2, 4.

Four years of success and friendship came to a close on June 3, 1988 with the Honor’s Day and 114th Commencement Ceremonies. On Honor s Day many awards and scholarships were presented to Seniors as well as to Underclassmen. Tammy Stickel was chosen to attend Girl’s State, and Geoff Miller, Mark Kalmar, and Tag Adkisson were chosen to attend Boy's State.

Laura Kimball was awarded the Illinois Sheriff's Association Scholarship, and Tim Stumeier received the Rogers Florist Scholarship. Julie Kohlbecker also received several awards, including the CILCO Scholarship, the Ray Wulliman Scholarship, and the Ray A. Kroc Youth Achievement Award. In perhaps the most touching and silent moment of the Honor’s Day program, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Dietrich presented the Dave Dietrich Memorial Scholarship to Susan Harris and Rob Taylor. In the evening, the Baccalaureate and Commencement Ceremony began with an Invocation given by Tricia Postlewait. The Address was given by Dr. William Bodamer of the United Presbyterian Church. Valedictorian Susanna Ross spoke of the hopes of future achievement for the Class of '88. Valedictorian Amy Griffith spoke about the present decisions being made by the Class of '88. Valedictorian Julie Kohlbecker closed with a synopsis of the past special moments and accomplishments of the Class of '88. A group of Seniors performed a medley containing Friends (Are Friends Forever)’’, You've Got a Friend”, and “That’s What Friends Are For”. Principal James Voyles presented the Class of '88 to the Board of Education for Graduation, and the diplomas were presented. Lori Carroll gave the Benediction, and then Graduates, parents, families, and friends recessed to the cafeteria for congratulations filled with hugs, tears, and gifts. So ended four years of friendship and achievement of the Class of '88. 59 A Day in the Life of an Athlete is a busy one to say the least. Every day is filled with one thing — practice, practice, and still more practice. The Athlete's day starts all too early. He treks off to school for an early morning workout. Following a quick shower, he hurries off to classes till noon, one of the Athlete's few breaks (if it can be called that). The afternoon begins with the Athlete back in class. At 3:20, the dismissal bell rings. As most students head home to get comfortable and relax, the Athlete must stay at school, trudge into the gymnasium, and practice, practice, practice. Practice ends, and then he is finally allowed to go home. After another quick shower and a brief period of r r, the Athlete can take his time and eat his dinner. But of course, his dinner is usually cold and congealed by the time he sits down to eat it. After eating his dinner anyway, he must undergo the drudgery of homework, and this can last as long if not longer than practice did. After his homework is done (or even if it isn't), it is time for him to sleep. Sleep is the one thing that the Athlete always welcomes but gets very little of. As soon as he gets the chance, he drifts off to la-la land, but little does he know, morning w’ill be there faster than he can say Sports Banquet. The day begins and ends the same way, every day, for the entire season. Game days do provide an occasional break in the routine. These days leave time for rest after school, but they balance out with late nights of games, bus rides, and the always needed showers. But of course, the exhilaration of a win can cause all of the work to be forgotten. 61 OY’S TRAC 1st at LOVC Conference The 1988 Track Team Front Row: Chad McCullough, Tag Adkisson, Steve Weemer, Brian Hatfield, Gary Alexander, Eric Alexander, Jamie McDonald.

They ended the year with 27 wins and only 2 defeats. Very few of their opponents built up much resistance. Many awards were distributed to the Teams. Twice during the year, Tuscola was named the WLRW Team of the Week, and at the end of the season they were named Class A WLRW Team of the Year.

Despite their heroic efforts, the Warriors were defeated at the hand of the Cardinals of Warrensburg-Latham by a score of 7-14. The Varsity Team was led by Head Coach Larry Bienias with the help of Assistant Coaches Kenny Schwengal, Steve Clark, and Bill Butkovich.

Days and nights are spent ironing out bugs and honing in on perfection. It is because of the dedication of these talented students that we as a High School have something exciting ro look forward to other than Fridays. Obviously, Homecoming and Prom are the high school’s two most popular social events of the year. Student Council busies itself with the headaches of Homecoming, and the Junior Class attempts to cope with the problems of Prom. These two groups undergo all of the trials and tribulations of organizing our two biggest dances of the year. Quite a few students endure all of the dramas of taking a production to the stage — auditions, late night practices, and final rehearsals. Weeks of repetition is a must for the cast and crew of the Fall and Spring Productions. Special attention is paid to creating the perfect facial expression and to vocalizing that special melody. All of their hard work pays off in the end result of applause-elated performances. The Art and Industrial Arts students spend the entire year working on project after project. At the end of the year, they gather together the results of their labors and show off what they have accomplished. These students take pride in the Art and Industrial Arts Shows which display their talented works and quality accomplishments. The 1987-88 school year seemed to begin earlier than ever, as did Homecoming. Just when students were trying to get back into the swing of things, they were faced with a trying Homecoming week, September 21 through September 25. As if float-building were not enough to keep everyone busy, the Student Council offered many ways to liven up an already lively five days. Spirit Week, under the theme of Soft Drinks, began with students dressing in a color designated to their class. Throughout the rest of the week, students dressed in clothing backwards and also dressing as twins, and on Friday was the traditional “Warrior and Hat Day. After a week of Student Council sponsored games, including a marshmallow feed and a root beer chug, the Sophomore Class was announced as the overall winner of the events held during the week. The Sophomores and Juniors combined their efforts to win the annual tape contest. When Friday finally arrived, it was a day of mixed emotions. Those who had worked for hours upon hours on the floats felt somewhat relieved. Many of the football players were nervous as well as excited about the upcoming game. The majority of the Student Body was extremely anxious about the outcome of the day’s events. This year's parade was a success because of the hard work of the Student Council Members and the excellent display of floats. This year's first place float, constructed by the Junior Class, was “Don't Say the P.P.P word — (Paxton). The Senior Class received second place with their float, The Great Cola War.” In the competition between the Clubs, FHA won with “Slice the Mustangs. Shortly after the winners of the float building contest were announced, the winner of the football game was decided. The Warriors walked away with a 23-0 victory over the Paxton Mustangs. After the game concluded, the Coronation Ceremony began. Derrick Cothron and Julie Kohlbecker were announced as the 1987 Homecoming King and Queen. The dance began by spotlighting the two to the song “Can’t We Try, this year's dance theme. Chad Stevens, WLRW's afternoon D.J., played songs in the metallic blue and silver decorated cafeteria, a perfect ending to a perfect week. Grand Marshall Doug McCumber presides over Friday's parade.

The Warriors saddled the Mustangs with a 26-0 win. 87 ALL PRODCJCTIO Stay Tuned A typical day of television begins with cartoons and morning shows. The theme songs to some well-known cartoons as well as several famous afternoon reruns were presented by the sixth grade chorus in this year's Fall Production. As the mood shifts to evening, the afternoon reruns are replaced by prime-time programming. The seventh and eighth grade chorus highlighted the evening shows. Midnight draws near and The Late, Late Show begins. The high school choir featured several classic movies such as Casablanca, Top Hat, and Romeo and Juliet with its renditions of “As Time Goes By,” “Puttin’ on the Ritz, “A Time for Us, and others. Throughout the day of television, the high school show choir interruped programming with jingles from celebrated commercials including McDonalds, Dr. Pepper, and Chiquita Banana. Colleen Swihart sings a ballad from A Star Is Bom. The choir just keeps Puttin' on the Ritz.” The show choir asks you to “Remember the Times of Your Life. Amanda. Loralee, and Amy sing their solo. I'm a pepper, he’s a pepper, she's a pepper, we re a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? 88 The choir sings A Time For CJs” from Romeo and Juliet.

Sean and John bop to the “ Jailhouse Rock.” 89 Forty high school students set sail with their talents to make Dames At Sea a 1988 musical success. Set in the hard times of the Great Depression, the story centers around a theater group struggling to produce a hit” on 42nd Street. Leading lady Mona Kent (Jennifer Smith), a woman who knows exactly what she wants and how to get it, poses only a minor problem. Mona's demands and her overbearing personality only add to the exasperation of director Harry Hennessey (Sean Madison), whose worries include the loss of his bank balance, his health, his wife, and his cast. In walks Ruby (Colleen Swihart), a young dancer full of hopes and dreams. After some persuasion from a rather outspoken chorus girl named Joan (Jennifer Moorhead), Hennessey gives Ruby a part. Returning the suitcase Ruby left at the bus station, a song-writing sailor named Dick (Matt Washburn) enters the theater, and Ruby and Dick fall in love. Unfortunately, Dick's talent falls into the manipulative hands of Mona Kent. Lucky (Mike Middleton) wanders into the theater in search of his shipmate Dick and instead finds himself remembering “swell times” with Joan. The otherwise enthusiastic cast loses its enthusiasm, however, when down-hearted Hennessey announces that the theater is to be torn down. While Dick resolves to find a solution to the problem, Joan lifts the low spirits of the company and convinces them that Good Times Are Here to Stay. Dick, Lucky, and Mona persuade the Captain (Mark Kalmar) to lend them the use of his ship for the show. Mona’s meddling hands pull Dick away from Ruby, confuse the Captain, and eventually force Joan to get even with her. As Mona, Joan, and Ruby sing, the Captain, Dick, Lucky, and Hennessey partake in some impromptu comedy when they are caught on stage. The swaying spotlight, cued by Joan, makes Mona seasick, so that she can't finish the show. In a last-ditch effort, Hennessey asks Ruby to take the lead, and unsure Ruby makes her Broadway debut. The show is a success, Ruby is a star, and the three couples all decide to have simple weddings.” Dames At Sea was another successful show put on by TCHS Thespians and other talented students. 'Call me Dick.” All they want are Dames at Sea. 90 The cast and crew of Dames at Sea. Remembering “swell times” The cast tries to cheer up Hennessey, whose world is falling apart.

The event was held at the Eastern Illinois University Grand Ballroom in Charleston, Illinois. The banquet, catered by the University Food Service, was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. The night of enjoyment began with a Welcome given by Matt Washburn. Marianne Albin delivered the Benediction before the meal began. Ticia Travis gave a toast to the Seniors in attendance and then released each table to begin filling their plates at the buffet. At the close of the dinner, Sean Madison read the class wills, receiving mixed responses from those in the listening audience. The band Ho Secret began playing as pictures were taken of couples in the lobby. During a short intermission the Junior Attendants and the Senior Candidates filed in for the crowning of the King and Queen. Entering first were Attendants Mark Kalmar, Heather Gaddy, Steve Weemer, and Ticia Travis. The Candidates, who included Lance Kresin, Derrick Cothron, Rob Taylor, Phil Hayes, John Stewart, Julie Kohlbecker, Lisa Schultz, Julie Clark, Sherie Winans, and Sharon Lamb, followed close behind. To the ex-citment of all the spectators, Geoff Miller announced Sherie Winans and Phil Hayes as the 1988 Prom King and Queen. The happy couple was crowned by Marianne Albin and immediately began dancing to the theme song China in Your Hand along with the rest of the Court. The festivities continued throughout the night and well into the next day. The 1988 Prom Court — Ticia Travis, Steve Weemer, Sharon Lamb. John Stewart. Julie Clark, Rob Taylor. Phil Hayes.

There are meetings to attend, practices to endure, parties to plan, and money to make. In order to fund the Club's activities, the Club Member is forced (against his will) into finding numerous ways of making big bucks and making them fast. The Club Member often finds himself walking door to door selling various items. (And, Oh! how various these items can be!) More often than not, the time periods before school, after school, and even during lunch are used for making money. There, the Club Member sells chances on raffles, tickets for dances, and those Oh! so various items. The Club Member spends much of his day just organizing the Club's events. The main purpose of having Clubs at TCHS is to promote school spirit and to provide the comradery of those with similar interests. Dances, trips, and parties are the results of the meetings, the practices, and the selling of those Oh! so various items. It is difficult (if not impossible) to find the time that it takes to truly dedicate oneself to a Club. With the pressures of grades, sports, parents, free time, and sleep, it seems amazing that there are any Clubs at all. But the Club Member gives of himself everyday, and it all pays off in the many good times, the many great memories, and the many sales campaigns of those Oh! so various items. 97 The left side of the Homecoming Court.

Grand Marshall Doug McCumber receives his plaque. What would school be without Student Council — no more popcorn at ball games, no more candy bars to help students get through the day, no more assemblies to get students out of class, and no more Homecoming? To raise money, the Student Council sold popcorn and candy bars. Prior to Spring Break, Council Members sold chocolate Easter bunnies. This year, Student Council hosted the first annual TCHS Market Place. The Market Place involved area businesses, TCHS clubs and classes, and it helped raise money for both Tele-Care and the Council itself. Students were very well entertained by this year's selection of Student Council sponsored assemblies. The High School was visited by the talents of a magician, a naturalist, and a mime. The Christmas assembly, with the local talents of first year Latin Club Members, the TCHS Centerstage, and a cast of Council Members, was a great start to vacation. The three screen show was probably the most popular of this year's assemblies, all of which were enjoyed by all. The Council offered its support to the school as well as to the community. The Council hosted Secret Pal Week in which Members delivered small packages of appreciation to individual teachers for one week. The Council set aside two hundred dollars to present to the winner of the annual Butkovich Scholarship. The Council also presented two hundred dollars to the Douglas County Museum Association. Can't We Try” was this year's Homecoming theme song, and the Student Council tried and met the challenge. In addition to dress-up days and games at noon, the Council organized the parade, the coronation ceremony, and Friday evening's dance. This year's Council proved itself in the District, in the State, and within the Nation. Two members attended the National Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Seven members attended the State Convention in Chicago, and as Sean Madison ended his term as Kick-apoo District Liaison, Angie Cothron was elected Kickapoo District Secretary. Student Council took an active roll in bridging the gap between the faculty and the students. Through their many special events and the help of sponsors Carol Bushu and Martin Marx, they educated the student body while still presenting them with some great entertainment. 101 Second Year NHS Members — Front Row: Susan Harris, Mike Middleton, Sherie Winans.

Thirteen fourth grade honor students, eleven eighth grade honor students, twelve present members, and nine new inductees were honored at this year's Induction Ceremony. In addition to the officers speaking on the criteria for induction, Mr. Ed Phelps from Elk Grove High School, explained that those being honored were the leaders of tomorrow. Throughout the course of the evening, those attending the ceremony were entertained by a flute quartet and a solo by Colleen Swihart. Following the presentation of awards and the signing of the NHS Register, were refreshments and time for picture taking. In order to make the induction ceremony possible, the twelve present members had a fund raiser in February. The entire student body were given questionnaires that were used to produce a list of perfect matches for each individual. These lists of ten compatible mates were then sold for one dollar, thus making a profit for the organization. Elizabeth Lincoln signs the register as Geoff Miller awaits his turn.

Aside from their monthly Chapter meetings, they took time out to construct a Homecoming float that took first place in the club category. In February the Club sold helium Valentine’s Day balloons to friends and sweethearts. For the FHA annual service project they donated money to the Lions of Illinois Foundation for eye research. For this effort they were awarded a Certificate of Appreciation. Near the end of the year, the Tuscola FHA-HERO Chapter had a banquet at which the new officers gave their reports.

The Tuscola Future Farmers of America spent another year involved in competitions and service projects. Their Annual FFA Officer Faculty Luncheon and end of the year Awards Banquet helped to round out a busy year. FFA Members participated in many competitions throughout the year, where Greg Carter did especially well in public speaking and individual crop judging. The Chapter Team received a second place overall for crop judging. All three Tuscola Teams ranked in the Top 10 for soil judging. Chad Melton, Jim Gire, and Ricky Jaeger earned the FFA Star Greenhand Award. Among the service projects done by the FFA was the daily job of raising and lowering the flag in front of the High School. In the spring, they worked at Hardee's planting flowers and helping with the overall landscaping. This work was followed up by daily care including watering the newly planted annuals. On May 19, 1988 the Annual Awards Banquet was held in the High School cafeteria. After an excellent meal, at which FHA Members helped with serving, awards were given including the Cooperative Project Award which went to Mark Zahm. The Crops of the World Award was presented to Tom McCollam. Donnie Miller, Ricky Jaeger, and Chad Melton were the Cashford Award winners. Corn Plot Awards went to Darren Stenger and Bob Kleiss.

The Varsity Scholastic Bowl Team ended an otherwise average season with a fine showing at the LOVC Conference Tournament. An overall record of 5-2 allowed Tuscola to tie for second place out of a total of eight teams. Although the tie was with Villa Grove, a last-question comeback in that match produced a Warrior victory. Coach Carey Wood admittedly felt the pressure more than once as the team came from behind in four games to win by as few as six points. Varsity ended the season with a 3-3 record in regular conference play. The Junior Varsity had a productive year as well, ending the season with a final record of 4-2. Mo one stood out as a superior scorer, and as a result, this Junior Varsity team proved to be not only strong, but also well-rounded. When asked about the year, Coach Wood said that both teams were well-balanced. In looking ahead, she said that since both teams were fairly young, Next year promises to be one of our best years. 1988 Varsity Scholastic Bowl Tuscola — Cerro Gordo......................177-127 Tuscola — St. Joe-Ogden....................115-197 Tuscola — Atwood-Hammond...................139-118 Tuscola — Bement........................... 202-95 Tuscola — Areola...........................124-211 Tuscola — Sullivan ....................... 152-245 113 You wanna know what??!

The 1987-88 Science Club JETS Team exhibited their academic abilties at several area competitions this year. The tests that were taken tried the participant’s abilities in many science related fields. Eastern Illinois University held their annual chemistry competition on May 13, 1987. This contest was designed for first year chemistry students throughout the Central Illinois area. The students that competed were Mike Middleton, Tricia Postlewait, Laura Kimball, and Amy Griffith. They received a third place award out of eleven participating schools. The Tuscola JETS Team took part in the Junior Engineering Technological Society test held at Parkland College. Coach Kay Kleiss led her team to a third place showing. Several awards were given to the individual competitors. Margie Nauta took sole possession of first place in Physics. Mike Middleton placed second in Physics and Chemistry. Mike Holt earned second in Biology. Cliff Magee obtained second in Graphics. Laurie Berg received a third place in Math. Susanna Ross came away with a third place in English. Tuscola High School should be very proud of Mrs. Kleiss, those who participated in these contests, and all the effort put forth by the teams.

The Members of the 1987-88 Art Club had a year of work, and a lot of fun. They decided that they would take a trip to Chicago, but there was money to be raised and much hard work ahead of them. After sponsoring the Valentine’s Day dance and delivering red and white carnations, which had been ordered by students, enough money was raised. In late March, the Art Club was off to the Windy City. Once there, they visited the Institute of Art of Chicago and the Art Institute. They finished their trip by passing a few hours at Water Tower Place. The Art Club and Sponsor Les Sluder were pleased with their trip and the success of the school year. 115 PANISH cm Fiesta!!! The 1987-88 Spanish Club Officers — Kristy Leamon (Secretary Treasurer), Amy Harmon (Vice-President), and Chris Rogers (President). The Spanish Club, sponsored by Seriora Carey Wood, started the year off with a fund raiser. They sold cookies, brownies, fudge, and other goodies door to door. From this they made a nice profit which went towards several fun things done throughout the year. One evening during the spring the group held their annual Spanish Club dinner in the High School cafeteria. Everyone brought either an appetizer, a main course or a dessert, all made from Spanish recipes. Mrs. Wood provided the drinks. After a great meal, everyone went into the gym, and a few games were played. There were relay races, musical chairs, and, of course, the pihatas. From the profits made through fund-raising some members of the Spanish Club took a trip to Six Flags on June 2nd. They spent the whole day in the amusement park, rode the rides, pigged out, got sunburned, and had a buerto time. Ole!!! Tina, Jennifer, and Carrie await a Spanish Club meeting.

This year, as in many years past, Latin Club made its mark on TCHS. The first sight that the Student Body had of this organization was in the fall. In order to raise money, Latin Club sold the ever-infamous SWEATSHIRTS! After showing up in the announcements every day for weeks upon weeks, the Club, for the most part, gave up on its sales campaign. First year Latin Club Members appeared in the Student Council Christmas Assembly. To the tune of “Walk Like an Eygptian,” the class, in their togas, entertained onlookers. The Christmas candy-making party provided Latin Club Members with an opportunity for fun, excitement, and pounds upon pounds of homemade candy. Non-Latin Club students enjoyed a good laugh as they saw their Latin Club friends roll into school after Christmas break five pounds heavier. The last event of the year was the Roman Banquet. First year Members, as always, provided much enjoyment. They sang; they danced; they served food; they became citizens; they togaed. So the year ended with Latin Club surviving once again. And though the debate of whether Latin is a dead language or not still rages, this group of students proved to TCHS that Latin Club, sure as Hades, is alive and well and here to stay.

A fund-raiser was arranged, everyone pitched-in, and the group made enough money to order new costumes. The Choir performed in the Fall Production Stay Tuned. They brought to the stage their renditions of Puttin' on the Ritz As Time Goes By” and A Time For Us. These songs brought back fond memories for those attending. In November the Choir traveled to Villa Grove to participate with other area choirs in the L.O.V.C. Choral Festival which included a long afternoon practice session and an evening performance. December rolled around as did the annual Christmas Concert. There, the Choir sang The Holly and the Ivy and The Carol of the Bells.” Also around the Christmas season the group sold Secret Santa candy canes, messages to friends and sweethearts. In April the Choir competed in a choral contest at Monticello. Here, they sang several of their better numbers and won a first place rating for their efforts. To wrap up a great year the Choir performed at the annual Spring Concert where they sang their contest pieces and a few new ones, namely In the Mood,” “I Dreamed a Dream,” and Americana.” At the close of the concert, awards and T's were presented to members of the group. Miss Weinland acknowledges the Choir after the completion of a number. 121 In the Fall Production the Show Choir performed several commercials such as McDonalds, pictured here. The Tuscola High School Centerstage is a very prestigious group; it consists of twenty-five talented students.

During the four-day camp the squad learned new routines, techniques and formations. With routines that they had prepared earlier, they competed against other squads from around the state. On the final night the Pom-Pon Squad was awarded a first place rating and was invited to the CJSCA National Championships in August at Lansing, Michigan. The remainder of the summer was spent raising money by means of a car wash and a bake sale. With the money raised the squad was able to attend the National Championships. This was an exciting conclusion to a busy summer. When school began, the squad had many things for which to prepare. They practiced routines for football games and pep rallies. During the Homecoming Parade, the Pom-Pon Squad marched the parade route and performed with the band. When they reached the square, the squad presented their routine and then were joined by the Cheerleaders for their performance to “The School Song. When basketball season rolled around, the Pom-Pon Squad was again very busy. They performed between both Junior Varsity and Varsity games and at halftime of Varsity games.

Involvement in any of the many facets of Tuscola High School's drama program earns participants Thespian points. Acquiring enough of these points earns acceptance to this prestigious group. The Members of this group earned their points due to their involvement as Cast and or Crew of the Fall Production, Cast and or Crew of the musical Dames at Sea, and writing for the newspaper. Their efforts made it possible for the entire community to attend cultural events otherwise not available in Tuscola. Sean Madison, as Hennessey Makeup artist.

According to the T-Club Constitution which was rewritten and revised in 1940, there are three purposes for T-Club: first “to establish a greater knowledge of sports”, secondly “to create a permanent desire for true sportsmanship among men”, and finally, “to encourage scholarship and character in athletics.” Now, in 1988, the TCHS T-Club continues to uphold the high standards set some forty-eight years ago, producing good sportsmanship, clean athletics, and victorious teams.

This year, the Cheerleaders decided to reestablish this group. The purpose of Tribe is simply to increase school spirit. Those in Tribe came to the games to cheer on Warrior athletes. Tribe members supported their teams by wearing black and gold attire and by applauding the plays. The morale of all the team members was boosted tremendously because of the backing done by this organization. GO WARRIORS!!! 135 YEARBOOK STAFF A Year In The Life This year's Tuscolian was created by a small but dedicated staff. Early in the year it was agreed upon that a special book be prepared using new layout designs, more pages than ever before, and most importantly, the inclusion of color sections. Even before the 1987 Yearbook was completed, Sean Madison was already formulating ideas for this year's edition. The idea of using division pages to give a sampling of a typical day for a person in that category, led to the theme A Year In The Life , (it must have been a good idea since a few months later a television show came on the air with the same title). Sean was appointed Yearbook Editor in order to see his idea through, and with a Production Staff consisting of Assistant Editor Jennifer Moorhead, Sherie Winans, Michelle Kleiss, Amy Griffith, Mary Magee, and Dawn Coon the task was underway. The Photography Staff, consisting of Jeff Mills, Cliff Magee, Todd Harmon, Kyle Beachy, and Chip Thomas, set themselves to work covering the many school events and preparing pictures for the Production Staff. Even with this fine staff, help was needed to see all of the plans through. Jeff Teeters, Julie Bean, Doug Ball, Arin Reinhart, Lori Bauer, April Wallace, and Angie Cothron leant their aid to the Photography Staff, while Colleen Swihart helped out with production. Sponsor Jon Hart said that he was pleased with the work his staff did on A Year In The Life , and hopes that some things you see will make you laugh, and some things will help you to remember. Jeff Mills sneaks another candid. Editor Sean Madison is ina t satisfied with his copy. A little less hair, a few more pounds, but the yearbook is done. 136 QUALITY CLOTHING FOR LESS Connie L.
