Where the gentle wind is alone in motion. Sweetly ruffling your golden hair as it passes by; Where the sun never sees a cloudy sky And sets in a haze of purple and gold; Where the sky is so filled with the brilliance of stars. It is second—only to the radiance of your face; Where the moon is the symbol of beauty and life. And people are born knowing no hate; Where love is love And is not to be scorned or laughed at. But is to bo shared and shared—in friendship and purity. Come, my love, come with me. And I will take you tc this spot. Where we shall remain forevermore.

Homecoming was very suc- cessful with the theme of Illinois Sesquicentennial. The parade was one of the biggest yet. The annual Homecoming dance was highlighted with the crowning of our Student Council Secretary Debbie Nichols, as 1968 Homecoming Queen. New permanent committees were formed this year for the betterment of UHS. Among these was the Handbook Revision Committee. This committee is designed to keep the Student Handbook up-to-date. Four faculty members and four S.C. members make up the committee. The Stu- dent Council cooperated with the administration in having a permanent flexible homeroom. Unity High takes much pride in the uniqueness and great success of this program. Our Council had student exchanges with Brown County, Central, Payson, and Carthage. These proved to be benefi- cial and encouraging to UHS. Three special assemblies were given for the enjoyment and education of the student body. On April 15, after a week of vigorous campaigning, the new student council officers were elected by the student body. Student Council Week consisted of a slave auction and slave day, dress-down and backwards day, a record auction and rummage sale, and student-teacher and dress-up day. The FTA sponsored a talent assembly during the busy week The annual Student Council Banquet was held at the con- clusion of the week, April 25, at the Flamingo. It was then that the new officers were installed. First Row: M. Frese, D. Cantrell, S. Rabe. B. Wright, J. Schoeh, Mrs. King, S. Smith, J. Strickler, G. Schroeder, J. Simmons, S. Tuter.

CHORUS The Unity Mixed Chorus activities this year included the Annual Chorus presentation for the faculty and students at the Christmas Assembly, at Baccalaureate, and at Com- mencement. Our greatest achievement was the two night run, in March, of CARNIVAL, a musical play. While the Chorus took most of the credit, it was truly an all-school effort. The great success of our production would not have been possible without the help of the Dramatic Club, The Art Department, The Home Economics Department, the Agriculture Department and all of the faculty members who gave much time and effort. The Sextet, known as the Eidelweiss, was a very active group. They made several public appearances. Among them were the following: Pops Concert at Unity, Easter Sunrise Service at the Retreat House. Liberty Lions Club. Bankers meeting at the Plaza. County PTA at Loraine, FTA Talent Assembly, and Youth Day at the Congregational Church. EIDELWEISS SEXTET B. Dedert S. Smith S.Jenkins B. Va Leu R.

The Unity Club is a member of the Mississippi Valley Student Librarians Asso- ciation and the Illinois Student Librarian Association. The Unity Club was the hostess for the Annual meeting of the Miss. Valley Assn, which was held at Macomb so that the group might tour the new Instructional Materials Center of the Lab School. The Unity C lub had a car in the Homecoming parade, made bookmarks for other students at Christmas, and sponsored a tea for the faculty during National Library Week. The Science Club is in its fifth year at Unity High with nine members. Mr. Newton is the sponsor. During the bas- ketball season the members worked in the coat check to provide money for the treasury.

ART CLUB The purpose of the Art Club is to encourage creative ex- pression among interested students and to serve the stu- dents and the school in creative ways. Projects are proposed by members and approved by the advisor and the majority of the members of the Club. With the money earned by members of the Club, the Art mem- bers take field trips to various Art Museums. The Art students furnished the scenery for CARNIVAL. A trip to St. Louis gave the members an opportunity to visit a large museum. Students gave an exhibit at the school to show the public what they have accomplished. The Industrial Arts Club is composed of interested Ju- niors and Seniors in the Industrial Arts program. This year the Club had two field trips. On the first trip, they visited Gardner-Denver at Quincy. On the second trip, they toured the Caterpillar plant at Peoria. The Industrial Arts Club also sponsored a dance “The Shop Hop” this year.

Af- ter an opening 0-0 tie with a strong Rushville team, and a 19-0 win over Central, things went downhill for the Mustangs. After losing to Warsaw 12-6 and Hamilton 19-0, the Mustangs dropped lopsided scores to Beards- town, Winchester, Carthage, and Pitts- field. The Brown County loss was the only close contest during the last half of the season. Unity lost to the Hor- nets 27-13. Allyn Conover was named to the Midwest Conference All-Star Team as a Defensive and Offensive tackle. Allyn Conover won the Mustangs tackling trophy, and was elected as the Most Valuable Player.

TRACK 1969 The Track squad for 1969 was made up of ten freshmen, five sophomores, two juniors, and one senior, with Bill Ir- vin acting as manager after our first meet. The team did a good job for a young quad. They scored well in several meets and won first place in their own Mus- tang Relays. Larry Frese was the only Senior. Curt Sellers was the outstanding Junior, team captain, and high point man on the squad, Duane Seals was outstanding Sophomore, and Gary Evans outstanding Freshman. Gary Evans Outstanding Freshman Relay man Duane Seals Outstanding Sophomore Mile Curt Sellers Outstanding sprinter Team Captain High Point man And thus the 1969 Unity Hi-Lites comes to a close. The past year lias been full of treasures that will be remembered for a long time. The Treasure Chest is closed and locked un- til another year’s group opens it and fills it again.
