UNITY HI-LITES 1966-1967 [ . 1 L Vg Vi YT ( D £ 5 UNITY HIGH SCHOOL MENDON, ILLINOIS FOREWORD The organ is a unique instrument. Each pipe in it is different, yet when combined they produce a glorious effect. In the construction of an organ, all the parts are put together by master craftsmen who shape and test each section so that when the organ is installed it will deliver good service. In the same manner, a school is also unique. Every student contained in it is an individual, yet when united as a group, they posses great spirit and drive. In the process of education, each student is given knowledge from a person who is a master in his own field. By being exposed to many areas of knowledge, when the student is graduated and “installed” into society, he will deliver good service to his fellow men. This is the goal of education.

Galen Parrack, a real estate dealer, who filled an unexpired term, has now served six years. He served as president during 1966-1967 and was reelected to serve during the next school year. Mr. Parrack served as secretary in 1965-1966. James Spohr, a carpenter, who also filled an unexpired term, has served three years of this term.

Teachers Col- lege, M.A., University of Mo., Principal ADMINISTRATION Your high school days will be- come “The Good Old Days” and this publication will serve as a memory book. I sincerely hope that I, in some small way, have contributed to your educational, moral and social de- velopment. You came as children and you leave as young adults. I wish for you good fortune and happi- ness. Four years have slipped away from our graduating se- niors and another year of school is history for those students returning next year. Needless to say, time is important to each of us. Therefore, in the short period of time each stu- dent is here at U.H.S., it is my desire that plus the knowledge gained in all academic courses, our students learn to appreciate honest work, and realize that for every privilege enjoyed these individuals must assume some responsibility.

Didn't catch me this time Stranded Playin' the numbers again The Junior Class of Unity High School PROM Poet Mark Brecht and master of ceremonies. Upon the beach a bottle I did spy; I broke the seal, thus setting free— A wisp, a form, a heavenly date; We, amid the palms, could faintly hear The music floating sweetly on the air. Together we did dance, as in reply. Hardly touching the sands beneath. Nearly brushing the stars in the sky. On and on, till the mystic hour neared; A smile, a kiss, a caress for one endeared; And then—and then alone I stood. The seemingly empty bottle at my feet. Mary Peter, our Hawaiian Queen.

G A A Activities enjoyed by GAA members this year included volleyball, bowling, tumbling, trampoline and softball. 69 girls were members of the organization this year of which 25 initiated the year. To raise funds we sponsored coat check at basketball games, sharing the profits with the camera and sci- ence clubs. On March 31, the GAA sponsored a student-faculty basketball game. At half-time members of the GAA entertained with a girls’ basketball game and new members cheered their favorite team. With the money earned from this project the organization would like to purchase tumbling equipment. April Fool’s day offered quite a remembrance for many of the members and their mothers. We held our first Mother-Daughter Play Day. Twenty-seven adults enjoyed playing volleyball, trampoline and bowling with the younger set. Mardell Spencer was a special guest and handed out all bowling awards won by the girls in lea- gue competition. Trophies were given to the two first place teams, emblems for second and third place teams, and special emblems for league high average. A special trophy was presented to Sherry Egan for her 222 game bowled the first night of league action. May 24th most members of GAA encountered a ten-mile initiation hike. Girls earning a specific number of points throughout the year were presented with awards on the hike. First Row: D. Shriver, Mr. Nelson. Second Row; Left to Right: L. Hawe, B. Grimes, D. Kerbrick, J.

CHORUS Our Mixed Chorus at Unity was the parent organization for four smaller performing groups this past year-- The Concert Choir, die Madrigal Singers, Girl's Sextet and the Men's Quartet. These groups sang at various community affairs, concerts, contests, etc. throughout the school year. In November, four of our members were selected to participate in the All-District Festival at Western Uni- versity. In December, we presented an ambitious and unique Christmas program, with the help of members of the Instrumental Dep't., to our students at a special assembly. In February we presented our Winter Concert. March found us making the long journey to Nashville for state contest for solos and ensembles and preparing for our first (and completely successful) Pops Concert. In April our Music Department made two tours to surrounding high schools to present a musical program for their students. Our series of concerts was climaxed in May with die Unit 4 Music Festival. The Chorus, as usual, rounded out the year with appearances at both Baccalaureate and Commencement. 11115 year also proved to be the first time that one of our members has elected to major in vo- cal music in college. Bill Wilcox was the recipient of a Music scholarship from Augustana College in Rock Island. BARBER SHOP QUARTET-Left to Right: M. Mey- er, C. Groce, W. Wilcox, D. Tuck- er, Mr. Nelson seated.

The 1966-1967 Unity High Dramatics Club had a very successful season, produc- ing two programs which had both a one-act play and several dramatic readings done by individual students. The clubs project this year was the building of new stage scenery, as the old had been in use for many years and was worn out. Charles Groce drew up the plans and members of the club helped him construct the scenery. Officers who served this year were: Pres. Charles Groce; Vice-Pres. Dan Tucker; Sec-Treas. Mary Peter; and Student Council, Janet Ennen. Sandra Donley was the as- sistant director for both programs and Mr. Jorge Harris was the director and the sponsor of the club.

During the basketball season, the members worked in coat checks to provide money for the treasury. On April 22, 1967, the Science Club was represented at the Macomb District Science Fair with two pro- jects: Peggy Dittmer and Beverly Dedert with their project Hereditary Characteristics received a first place rating. Sharon and Shirley Smith with their project on Classification of Mammals received a second place rating. On May 12 and 13, Peggy Dittmer and Beverly Dedert took their project to the State Science fair at the University of Illinois and received as second place rating. The Science Club, continuing its policy of student enlightenment, held a last minute fling on May 11, 1967, in the school cafeteria. Pizza was served and games were plentiful.

FT A The Unity Association of Future Teachers of America enjoyed a very hectic and yet rewarding school year. A carload of students and the advisor went to the Region 3 workshop in Pleasant Plains early in the year. At this meeting, many ideas were expressed on raising money and setting worthwhile goals for Future Teacher Clubs. The main money-making project for the club this year was the operating of the concession stand at the basketball tournament. Much experience was gained as well as money. During Student Council week the UAFTA sold carrots and celery and held the annual talent assembly for the students and faculty. The IAFTA State Convention was held at Peoria April 14-15 at Richwoods Community High School. Bill Wilcox, Mike Meyer, Janet Ennen, Gloria Shriver, and Mr. Underwood attended. The main goal of the President and the officers of the UAFTA was the establishment of a scholarship of $100.00 to a senior member of the FTA who plans to pursue a teaching career. This goal was achieved and we hope that it will continue to grow in importance with the years. 1966- 67 officers were: Pres. Mike Meyer, Vice-Pres. Roger Mealiff, Sec. Gloria Shriver, Treas, Dan Tucker, and SC Rep. Bill Wilcox. 1967- 68 officers are: Pres. Janet Ennen, Vice-Pres. Karen Terry, Sec. Rita Rhine, Treas. Michelle Star- men, SC Rep. Rose Mary Terry, and Rep. Patti Jost. Marrying Sam's work is done. Santa crowning the Queen. HERE AND THERE Anyone want a towel? Getting a fortune cookie. Bottom Row, Left to Right: D. Egan, G.

LETTERMEN’S CLUB The Unity High School Lettermen's Club is one of the most difficult clubs to join. A boy must earna major letter in football, basketball, track, or baseball before he can be eligible to become a member. The 1966-67 Lettermen Club has a membership of 28 lettermen. Their first project was the annual Unity High sweatshirt sale in the fall of 1966. The sale was a great success with the student body buying Unity High School sweatshirts in a great variety of colors. In December the football, track, and baseball lettermen were initiated into the Club. The group of new girls at the basketball game was a humorous sight. During the winter months the Lettermen's Club was busy sponsoring the Reserved seats section at all home varsity basketball games. The spring of the year is banquet time. The Lettermen’s Club gave a banquet for their mothers at the Doo Drop Inn in Ursa. Special guests were the Varsity Cheerleaders and their sponsor, Mrs. Shrader. Donnie Egan, a Senior was presented a Maroon blazer at this banquet for his outstanding service to the athletic team over his four years as student manager. In May, the Quarterback Club gave a banquet at the Rainbow Inn with the Lettermen Club members and their fathers as special honored guests. The banquet was truly enjoyed and appreciated. As a special service this year the club sponsored a refreshment stand at the District Baseball Tournament which was held at Unity for the first time this year. First Row: D. Jackson, S. Burke, G.

A schedule of seven games were played which included four Midwest Confer- ence games. (Central did not compete for the title since it was their first year for football.) The team finished with a 3-4 record and ended the season fourth in the conference. Philip Noel and Terry Jenkins were the leading ground gainers and scores for the Mustangs. Don Rossiter and Ken Cantrell assisted Coach Liccoci as managers. Only 13 Freshmen showed a desire to play football this year when the season opened. Three games were scheduled, but only two of them were played. These boys should give Unity High School a shot at the Midwest Conference Crown next year.

The Mustangs averaged 55.3 points per game which is a basic indication of .500 bas- ketball. The Mustangs failure to have die big point man was the biggest thing that kept them from a real successful season. Highlights of the season were die third place won over Central of Camp Point in the Second Annual Mississippi Valley Tourney, and the tie for third place in die tough Midwest Conference, where a 2 point loss cost the Mustangs second place in the conference. This was a fine accomplishment especially since no Mustang was selected for All Conference honors this year. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS D. Presser, K. Andrew, L. Schnelle, R. Terry, B. Voth, S. Smith. A.

Brent Voth led the team in scoring while dividing Ills time between JV and Varsity play. John Brink carried the big lead in the rebounding department. The floor play of Randy Hess and die all round play of Allyn Conover and shooting of Ron VaLeu helped make this an enjoyable winter. The JV were handicapped in the fresh-soph conference games, having only two sophomores, which forced them to rely heavily on members of the freshmen squad who became an important part of die JV.

The Warden The Star Unity Whips Central FHA Initiation Thanks for the memory of petting in the hall It really was a ball The teachers who were preachers and got nowhere at all How lovely it was! Thanks for the memory of Monday beans and franks The Seniors’ little pranks The passes of the masses To get by the man with the glasses We hated homeroom! Thanks for the memory of stop signs we defaced The blackboards we erased Those dearly loved term papers and semesters that we faced You’re lucky you’re through! Thanks for the memory And till the day you die Remember Unity High We all live in a Yellow Submarine We'll miss you so much! The above lyrics were written by Rosemary Clair and sung to the tune of Thanks For The Memories at the Junior-Senior Prom. Although not top-notch poetry, these words express in essence what the Annual Staff has tried to show the students of Unity High through this edition of Unity Hi-Lites.
