Valley Senior High School Home of the Vikings Valley School Song Oh, when those Valley Vikings take the floor, We know that they are going to raise the score, And for the Valley team I yell, And for the Valley team 1 yell, 1 yell, I yell; Then we will strive to win for Valley High; We'll Fight for V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, And then we'll fight, fight, fight For Orange and Black--Orange and Black, Valley High.

DEDICATION The Vall-ee-hi is dedicated annually to a person, organization, or group making a contribution to Valley Senior High School. The Vall-ee-hi staff is proud to dedicate the 1970-71 annual to the victorious Valley Vikings Football Team and their coach, Gary Little.

It was quite a switch from junior high, but after becoming acquainted with faces and surroundings, we be- gan to feel at home. Under the guidance of our class sponsors, Mrs. Sarah Rasmussen and Mr. Hendry Ben- nett, we started our first class meeting by electing officers: President--Curtis Sherman; Vice-President--Jed Johnson; Secretary--Sally Honts; Reporter--Ernie Shortness and S.C. Representative--Ardith Reed. We were not full-fledged sophomores until we were put through initiation by our upperclassmen friends! Later in- volved with homecoming festivities, we chose Deb Smith and Craig Weber to ride in the decorated car MFire. During the winter months our sophomore team charged into the Fulton County Basketball Tourna- ment and captured first place. They were cheered on to victory by Debbie Burkhead, Debbie Peters, Ardith Reed and Deb Smith. In the spring ten members were selected by the junior class to be Prom Servers. To carry out the Hawaiian theme Debbie Burkhead, Jeanine Burnett, Robin Chatterton, Betty Parli and Ardith Reed were attired in muu-muus and the boys, Jed Johnson, Jim Sackfield, Curtis Sherman, Ernie Shortness, and Craig Weber, sported white shorts and Hawaiian shirts. At our last sophomore class meeting we selected our rings, then anxiously waited for the summer to pass and our junior year. We were back again with new officers to make our class prosperous and memory-filled--President--Jed Johnson; Vice-President--Curtis Sherman; Secretary--Sally Honts; Treasurer--Ernie Shortness and S.C. Rep- resentative— Kent Schleich. With the arrival of class rings came the satisfaction of being juniors. Some of us soon lost these status symbols in one way or another. The 1969 Homecoming came with Karen Combs and Dan Williams, junior attendants, riding in our decorated car, Star Shine. Much work was involved during our junior year to raise money to finance our prom. After selling candy bars, tee-shirts and working in the Junior Stand we were especially thrilled to hold the 1970 Junior-Senior Prom, Impossible Dream at Holi- day Inn in Galesburg. We were pleased with our efforts and boarded a charter bus to Chicago for fun and en- joyment. With 352 days of school behind us, our thoughts turned to that final eventful year as seniors. This was it! Only 182 days left of school and we were going to make memories which we would never forget. Presiding at our first class meeting was President--Craig Weber; Vice-President--Ernie Shortness; Secretary-Treasurer--Sally Honts and S.C. Representative--Bruce Mahr. Reigning at our last Homecoming as King and Queen were Rod Schisler and Kathy Glaser attended by Debbie Burkhead and Jed Johnson. Not only was homecoming victorious, but the whole football season was wonderful as the Viking received first place in the W1LCO. After nine weeks Debbie Burkhead and Curtis Sherman were chosen as DAR and SAR recipients. In April the juniors entertained us for an evening at the Junior-Senior Prom at the Holiday Inn in Galesburg. Ardith Reed and Curtis Sherman were chosen by the juniors as royalty for this festive evening focused on the theme, Bridge over Troubled Waters. At graduation wearing robes of dark and light blue, we proudly received our diplomas. The juniors presented us with the white rose, our class flower. The speak- ers who represented our class were valedictorian, Debbie Bloomer, and salutatorian, Karen Combs. We will always remember That Life Is What You Make It and our heritage of three years at Valley Senior High School. 31 Prophecy While in Hawaii at the 1971 Surfer's Convention, I attended the debut of Ken's Goodtime hour, and was startled to find that Ken was none other than Valley's own KENNY PUMFREY. While I was waiting for the show to begin, an ABBADUSKY Seed Com Commercial went on the air. Seems that MARIE had built up quite a business. Then came the big moment.' Ken appeared on stage and in his own inimitable way first introduced JIM JONES and VICKI RINEY, who sang Happy Trails to You. After the initial applause had subsided, Vicki and Jim went into the audience and greeted some of their for- mer classmates present for the debut. I was surprised to see Kathy Glaser, the National Presi- dent of F.H .A., there. On her left was BECKEY MORRISON, New York's renowned gossip columist, and DANNY WILLIAMS, Rookie Football Player of the Year. Time out for another commercial. Who should appear but DEBBIE BURKHEAD and JEA- NINE BURNETT, introducing their new kitchen improvement product--washable paper plates and napkins. Then Ken introduced his next guest, star of the Men From Mars, BRUCE MAHR, who attributed his success to his masculinity. MAURICE BALE and DENNIS MELVIN came on with their performing sheep and chicken, respectively. Flashing back to the audience, Ken spotted WILLARD McBRIDE, the track star, and CRAIG WEBER, the Decathlon award winner. As I turned around, I discovered CURTIS SHERMAN, whose best seller, the sequel to OF HUMAN BONDAGE, had made his world fam- ous. On Curt's right were JED JOHNSON, Head Latin Professor of Spoonie University and ED WYANT, associate Chemistry Professor. Next on stage were ROBIN CHATTERTON, flattest flutist of the West, and LESLIE OMER, can-can dancer and ballet instructor. Ken asked DEBBIE SMITH and her P.T.A. Convention to stand up and take a bow, because she was a fellow graduate. Also in the audience were ROSIE MEYER, manufacturer of see-through blouses, and LUCY HICKMAN, owner of the Zippy Zipper Factory, who had just merged their companies. The Lindy Sisters, led by BETTY RAE PARLI, brought down the house with their melodious medley of hits of '71. As I was visiting with ED BUTCHER, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, and ROD SCHISLER, a new recuit of the Cards, I discovered that the Miss KAREN COMBS show, entitled Body Beautiful Tips, was a rival of Mr. Pumfrey's. Suddenly there was a disturbance in the audience as Dr. STEVE TERPENING and his assistant, DEBBIE WILLIAMSON, a resident nurse, made their way to where TERESA SHEN- AUT was sitting. Miss Shenaut had fainted at the sight of Mr. Pumfrey. ANNETTA MILLER, model for Miss America shoes, came on stage with GERALD TRACEY and MICHAEL POWELL, to model some of the latest shoe fashions. Seated side by side JOE RUBERG, pro- fessor at Oral Roberts U., was trying to convert DEBBIE BLOOMER, accountant for the Mafia. Next on hand were JIM WILSON and JOHN SIMKINS with a film of their latest race between garden tractor and motorcycle. In the audience were ERNIE SHORTNESS and JANETTE OVERCASH, from the Love of Life Computer Dating Service, chaperoning their latest match, MIKE YOUNG and DLANE WOODDELL. A well-known entrepeneur and social club owner, JACK STUCKEL, owner of the Playboy Golden Girl Club, and CARROLL McCOMB, operator of the International Goat Club, supplied the dancing girls for Kenny's next act. It was amaxing to find that so many of the sponsors for Ken's show were former classmates. LORRAINE HARLAN with her Crunchy Chicken Chain and JIM SACKFIELD with his New Image Wine with a low-alcohol content. As the show was about to close, I heard a com- motion in the wings--none other than SALLY HONTS, the famed European bus driver, and her entire company including ARDITH REED, her head bus mechanic. Ken thanked the audience for their attentiveness and brought out his announcer, RICK HULET, who read the credits: MARSHA ENDRES, personal hairdresser to Mr. Pumfrey, JACK LINK, janitor and prop man, MIKE McDANIEL, background music, DONALD MARVli, sani- tation engineer, LINDA NEWMAN, personal secretary to Ken, KENT SCHLEICH, supplier of canned laughter, and STANLEY STUCKEY, owner of Stan's Rancil Transit, transporter of gifts awarded by the show. Final credits were given to Mr. HENDRY BENNETT, Producer, and Mrs. SARAH RASMUSSEN, Director--our class sponsors in 1971. 32 Class Will I, MARIE ABBADUSKY, do will to Becky Woodall the ability to stay out of trouble her next two years at Valley.

STANDING: Mrs. Ken- nelly, John Austin, Mr. Keithley. We juniors entered the revered halls of Valley Senior High anxious to find what the 1970-71 year held for us. Our first meeting was presided over by our class officers: John Austin—President, Patty Gurley--Secretary, Steve Foshay—Treasurer, and Kenny Davis--Student Council Representative. We soon learned that this year required some work on our part--selling candy bars until we couldn't stand the smell of chocolate. The noise coming from the concession stand at football games wasn't all from just having fun. When our class rings arrived, we thought the blue stones (a first for Valley), which many of us had ordered, were very impressive. Homecoming came and we participated by presenting a skit at the pep rally and decorating a car for the parade. A Time for Us heralded the Junior Class attendants, Rick Widger and Sandi White. On March 13 we sponsored an all-school dance featuring our own band—Free Flight, with Mike McDaniels, Mark DeCourcey, John Maynard and Daniel Root. For the second year the prom was held at Holiday Inn in Galesburg with the theme A Bridge Over Troubled Water . The banquet speakers reminisced about the troubles and successes of the seniors whom we honored. Later Frank Gear and the Chasers played for the dance and we crowned the senior king and queen. 40 John Austin Teresa Barker Sandy Fleisher Steve Foshay Patty Gurley Bruce Hahn Debbie Ham Tom Haugen Juniors Jackie Hilton Debbie Hulet Bob Kidwell Kenny Lock Evelyn McBride Jerry Mahr 42 Bill Marvel John Maynard Rollie Merriman Billie Miller Debbie Mitchell Marvin Myers Juniors Mike Norville Claudia Overcash Kay Pumfrey Rick Roberts Warren Schleich Greg Shultz 43 Lester Stevenson Martha Suydam Penny Swinger Danny Thomas Carolyn Taylor Don Tice Juniors Ruth Timmons Kathy Tracey Jonnie Ulm Joan Van Liew Dave Way Sandy White 44 Rick Widger Donnie Young l Juniors Sophomores FIRST ROW: Mr. Little, Angela O'Brien, Linda Watkins, Jane Roselle, Mrs. Wilcoxen. SECOND ROW: Bob Weber, Brian Glaser In the fall of 1970, freshmen from the three junior highs of the Spoon River Valley School district walked through the doors of Valley Senior High and became sophomores. Our so-called friends, the upper classmen, officially made us a part of their group by declaring September 8 the day of initiation. They ordered us to wear distinctive costumes and to perform unusual stunts. Under the guidance of our sponsors, Mrs. Edith Wilcoxen and Mr. Gary Little, class officers were elected at our first meeting. They were: President--Brian Glaser, Vice-President--Bob Weber, Secretary—Angela O'Brien, Treasurer--Linda Watkins, and Student Council Representative--Jane Roselle. At Homecoming time many members of the class worked to decorate a car for the parade. The theme was Traces of Victories . Lu Ann Archdale and Bob Weber were the sophomore attendants. Although the sophomore class has been busy during the 1970-71 year, they are looking forward to much more work and fun in their junior and senior years at Valley High School. 46 LuAnn Archdale John Beoletto Penny Brashear Rachel Burkiett Susan Cattron Nancy Childers Sophomores John C ours on Vicki Cremer Danny Donaldson Dennis Donaldson Roberta Doubet Mike Ehens 47 Mary Erickson Merry Fishel Brian Glaser Donna Gooding Stephen Halsey Connie Hamm Sophomores Jeannie Harr Cynthia Herbert Randy Hulet Jessie Johnson Cynthia Knickerbocker Joe Landon Dirk Lefler Steve McCormick Brenda McCracken David Marvel Sophomores Debbie Melvin Margie Meyer Angela O'Brien Dean Overcash Sharon Powell Bill Pruett 49 Jack Roberts Daniel Root Jane Roselle Ross Roth Kathy Shenaut Barbara Steveson Sophomores Herman Stier Rodney Stubbs Jeff Stuck el Radine Stucky Dianne Thompson Lora Thompson 50 Monty Thompson Kathy Urbane Sherman Wagner Becky Woodall Jeri Young Sophomore Initiation A i ORGANIZATIONS ROW 1: Mr. Adair, Ed Butcher, Sally Honts.

Library Staff In the library this year the focus is on social studies—past and present. New titles in this area are: WAR ON POVERTY, THE CARLESS ATOM and TO APPOMATTOX: NINE APRIL DAYS, 1865. These and other new books can easily be found on the revolving carousel on the desk. Librarians willingly give their time and efforts in assisting users of the library. They check books and magazines in and out, shelve books, help students' use the card catalog and other files in search of information, locate books to be checked out, arrange shelves and dust. Some students who cannot work in the library on a regular basis but wish to do library work, work as library assistants. Duties here consist of typing catalog cards, book orders, and book lists; filing, processing new books and helping with bulletin boards. 55 ROW 1: D. Burkhead, R. Chatterton, Mrs. Roberts, L.

First, subscriptions to the yearbook were sold to the faculty and students. Next, the surrounding towns were solicited for advertisement to help finance the book. Also, taking pictures, planning the dummy copy, cutting, placing, and pasting pictures, and going over written material for the book kept the staff quite busy. In June the Vall-ee-hi was sent to the publishers. Now the long wait until the fall of '71 for the Vall-ee-hi. 56 ROW 1: D. Burkhead, M. Suydam, Mrs. Roberts, A. Reed, S. White, J. Burnett.

Voice Staff Reporters from all organizations at Valley High School hand in articles to be published in the VOICE, Valley's school newspaper. Other news items are assigned to members of the staff. After rewriting, typing in rough draft form and finally typing on stencil the pages are ready to be run off on the mimeograph. With the help of the Typing II class, the paper is assembled (put together) and ready to sell to students during 4th and 5th noon hours. The editor of the 1970-71 VOICE was Ardith Reed and assistant editor was Sandi White. ROW 1: Mrs. Kennelly, C. Sherman, J. Austin, B. Burkhead. ROW 2: A. Miller, P. Swinger, C. Overcash, J.

Latin Club The spirited Latin Club in the 1970-71 school year was comprised of fifty-five members. The night meetings were held either at Les's Home of the Latin Club or in the Valley Senior High Gymnasium. The first of the groups' many activities was the selling of home-made candy during the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive in October. A Treasure Hunt in Maquon, planned by Debbie Bloomer and Betty Parli, followed later in the month. Also, in October, a very busy month, the Latin Club put on a skit and had a float entitled No Trojan Horse Trick! for the homecoming game. A spring Car Wash and Candy Sale at the all-school play also was a great success for the organization in April. Latin Week was a large success as a new record sale for one slave was set. Servus Brianus was bought for $3.00. The Latin Club Banquet was a festive event held May 7, at the Heritage House in Peoria. The picnic at the Canton Park at the end of the year was one of the last memories the seniors had of Latin Club and we hope they will remember Latin Club forever. Ad Finem. 58 LE CERCLE FRANCAIS, Valley's new French Club, debuted in October, 1970, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Susan Klusman. The initial 11 members elected Annetta Miller president, Debbie Ham, vice-president, Billie Miller secretaire-tresoir, and Betty Parli repre- sentative au Council d'El ves. By November the con- stitution had been adopted; by December the first party was planned. Noel was the occasion, and the scene was Little Swan Lake. But, the fun and the hard work did not end for Cercle members with the end of the year. In January they were busy selling concessions at basketball games for the biggest fling yet, the French dinner at the Hotel Pere Marquette. At the dinner the coq-au-vin, salade, and cerises jubilee prepared tableside not only were delicious, but added to the romantic atmosphere al- ready created by the checkered tablecloths, dainty bistro tables, and wine-bottle candles. With those dishes the meal was still not over--the chef had planned a surprise. Pieces of fruit bathed in rum were set aflame, and the gourmets were urged to pop the pieces into their mouths. This treat they graciously al- lowed Mrs. Klusman to try first, however, and only after she survived, did the other hardy souls join in. ROW 1: Annetta Miller, Debbie Ham. ROW 2: Billie Miller, Mrs. Klusman, Betty Parli. The last activity of the Cercle was the May installation of its officers for the next year. Parents, faculty, members, and prospective Cercle members watched as the retiring officers exacted from their successors solemn pledges to conduct all stances en francais and to maintain the other ideals of the organization.

Whether participating or observing the activities, each girl grows in spirit, mind, and body and stTives in improving herself and the organization. The president, Debbie Burkhead, and her officers capably led the group in the calendar of events: a summer picnic and swimming party for incoming sophomores the sending of the president to G.A.A. Leadership Camp and two varsity cheerleaders to camp. After school began, points were accumulated by hiking, bowling, playing volleyball, and skating. In November, 27 initiates pledged their way into the organization. After much planning and hard work we realized success and a good profit with the G.A.A. Carnival, Around the Dial with G.A.A. Also, in February a delega- tion represented us at a Playday at Farmington. A card party, Father and Daughter Bowling Party, and G.A.A.-Lettermen skating party were our main social events. In May the 1971-72 officers were in- stalled as we entertained our mothers for an enjoyable evening. To climax a fun-filled year, a trip was taken Saturday, May 22.
