Waltonville’s History teacher grew up on the west side of Mt. Vernon and now resides in Bonnie with his wife Patricia and “daughter” Pinky (1% registered full beagle). He has been teaching for 13 years: 2 at Bethel and 11 at Waltonville. Mr. Frakes educational background consists of an Associate’s degree in History from Rend Lake College and a Bachelor’s in History from SIU Carbondale. Besides playing the ‘‘Equalizer’’ on rabbits, you can catch this sports lover participating in golf and softball or attending WCHS games. During his spare time he likes to watch and tape movies. ‘‘To Sir With Love’’ and ‘‘Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” are his favorite movies while he enjoys the acting performances of Sean Conner and Natalie Wood. The ever popular pizza and Mary Haley’s cookies are Mr. Frakes’s favorite foods. Did you know Mr. Frakes got his only speeding ticket in 20 years because he was real late coming home from watching WCHS vs. Sesser in the Wayne City tournament championship? His dream vacation would be to ski the slopes in Switzerland and to tour the beautiful scenery in Japan. The seniors of ’88 will never forget his talks about his high school tales (prom, girlfriends, first dent in the car, summer jobs, etc.) and the mouse and lollipop during Government 1st semester. His advice to students is don’t get senioritis (start acting weird). ‘If that’s the case, it’s too late for some of us. In summary, Mr. Frakes has contributed a great deal to the education and lives of WCHS students. Hopefully we can apply what we learned at WCHS to become the leaders of tomorrow. Thank you and congratulations, Mr. Frakes.

Other activities included Christmas car- oling at the grade school, a taco party at Jill Garrison’s house, and a Christmas party at Helen Kabat’s home. The club also sold concessions at the girls’ basketball games. The money earned from the concessions helped pay for a major pizza party at Pizza Hut. It concluded at Susan Philp’s house with the smash-hit Dirty Dancing playing on the VCR. oe : cas es r ie — On February 17, 1988 during 4th hour the FBLA Steelville High School Officers came to Waltonville to talk to the students who were interested in starting a Business Club.

Some of the events included valentine grams, breakfast for the teachers, and the coin-toss into the blanket at one of the home basketball games. The money re- ceived was donated to the March of Dimes. Also in ’88 the FHA sponsored a volleyball tournament. The highlight of the tournament was the “Students vs. Faculty’’ game played during 7th hour. Naturally, the Srs. and Jrs. team won the first two games with ease. The faculty wanted the 3rd match to be ‘‘double or nothing,’ so they could be the champions of the tournament. The Srs. and Jrs. accepted the challenge and won the game. Maybe next year guys. SRS.

In the first soph. vs. frosh. tug-of-war match, the rope broke. Sorry folks, there’s no tug-of-war champ this year. However, the seniors won the cram-a-circle event. Other activities include a cheer-off contest between the classes and the public announcement Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Frakes would get flat-tops if the Spartans won the regional (unfortunately we lost). What else can we do to let our Spartan pride show through? modified beach bums aes enn = ISS is During 7th hour on Mar. 15, 1988, the Air Force Band of the Midwest ‘‘Horizon’’ appeared at Waltonville High School. The 505th Air Force Band from Chaute Air Force Base, IL performed a 40 minute show in the gymnasium. Before the show the members of the band an- swered questions from the WCHS musical de- partment. Some of the WCHS chorus and band members were given the chance to play high-tech instruments. How did such an impressive band find a place like Waltonville? It just so happened the local Air Force Recruiter, Master Sergeant J. Stone, and Mr. Jenkins were talking about Mr. Jenkins’s brother who was stationed with Msgt. Stone at San Antonio, TX. Then Msgt. Stone asked Mr. Jenkins if he would like the Air Force Band to play at Waltonville and the rest is history. Mr. Jenkins commented, ‘‘The band’s perfor- mance was more impressive than | thought it would be. It was very professional. Our school needs more cultural events.” Horizon’s show is designed for high school and college audiences in support of Air Force Re- cruiting. The band members include: Dan Macom- ber — drums, double vocal; Tim Johnson — lead guitar; Darrell Hankins — lead vocal; Anita Streeter —-lead vocal; Steve Browning — bass; Dave Ward — keyboard; Chris Norris — soundman. They are selected from auditions across the nation. Some of the songs the band played include top- 40 hits by Heart, George Micheal, and the Jets. Despite this range of music, some students would have preferred heavy metal. Overall the students enjoyed the concert. Helen Kabat, sophomore, said, ‘ “They were wonderful! I'd like to have them back if at all possible. They have exceptional talent and were extremely hand- some.” Susan Philip, fellow classmate, comment- ed, ‘‘They played the songs we wanted to hear and the drummer was gorgeous!”’ Band member Darrell Hankins replied, ‘‘WCHS’s response was great! They were a real good audience.” WCHS would like to thank Msgt. Stone for his assistance. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had the 505th Air Force Band perform at our school. We look forward to having them back this year. 51 a A | can’t control my excitement no long- er. A Wow, there’s actually a hump. 4 Get back! It’s mine, mine, mine.

Your friend, Johna 57 Ji No vomit yet. The amount of blood a person has lost due to an injury is a critical factor for his or her chances of survival. Great amounts of blood is also needed for many surgeries (open-heart, by-pass, organ transplant). However, the supply of donated blood runs out quickly while the demand increases. The fear of AIDS has tremendously effected the number of donors. Yet modern science cannot make a substitute for blood. AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the epidemic of the 80’s and will probably continue to be one into the 90’s until a cure is discovered. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, which is transmitted from person to person via infected body fluids. A myth about AIDS is you can contract the virus if you donate blood. This belief is untrue. It is a fact that 4% of the U.S. AIDS cases are people who received blood or blood products, a third of whom have been people with hemophilia or other blood disorders. Today, however, all donated blood is checked for contamination and the blood giving procedure is very sterile. On Oct. 13, 1987 and Feb. 18, 1988 the Red Cross held blood drives at Waltonville High School. The goal of 50 units was reached during February's blood drive. Besides many Waltonville citizens donating blood, the Red Cross had a good turn out from the WCHS faculty and students. The following teachers and students donated blood: Ms. Meda Beckham Heather Jones Mr. Ed Belva Kris Laur Ms. Sherry Buch Greg Liggett Ms. Barbara Cook Dub Newell Julia Borowiak Greg Norris Jimmy Czerwinski Kevin Pierce Curt Erpenbach Leonard Ratajczyk Tonya Hampton Steve Snow Danny Johnson Misty Wheeler Christy Ziarnek The local community has a positive attitude towards donating blood. Many people in the local area are regular donors. The yearbook staff was really impressed by this fact. | know from personal experience it takes a great deal of courage for some people to let a nurse take a pint of blood through a needle from his or her body. Many people do not realize how important blood is for survival until he or she needs it in a situation that means life or death. The time you take to donate blood is well worth the effort because you helped save a life. Blood donors give people who need blood hope for a better life. Thank you. s Gue the GYt og Liye On April 25, 1988, Julia Borowiak received two certificates at the 38th annual Southern Illinois School Press Association Conference at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The certificates represented third place and hon- orable mention in the best yearbook photo- graph contest. 38RD PLACE PHOTOGRAPH “BLOOD DRIVE”: Kris Laur definitely felt something when the nurse stuck a needle in her arm. Kris was — participating in the Red Cross Blood Drive. HONORABLE MENTION PHOTOGRAPH “THE CHALLENGE BE- GINS”: This one was taken during the DuQuoin regional game, Waltonville vs. Woodlawn. a Waltonville participated in the annual Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics and Sciences (TEAMS) contest sponsored by the Junior Engineering Technological Society (JETS) at Rend Lake College. The Spartans captured 2nd place in Class A . team competition. They lacked only 1.39 points behind 1st place team Wayne City. Members of the JETS team include: Front Row, left to right: Melinda Jones, 3rd in graphics; Curtis Anselment, 2nd in graphics; Susan Wagner, 2nd in biology; Kevin Pierce, 2nd in biology; and Mark Ellerbusch, 2nd in chemistry, Second Row: Julia Borowiak, Kris Laur, Tina Downen, Crystal Frisch, Teresa Wheeler, Lori Bunk, and Susan Philp, Third Row: Tonya Hampton, Benay Bicanich, Misty Wheeler, Sandra Pijut, Jill Garrison, Michelle Beckham, Mindy Wilderman, and Casey Hampton, Fourth Row: Ryan Norris, Greg Winchester, Ryan Lynch, Jason Pierce, and sponsor Mr. Roger Stricker. A tradition starts at Waltonville. In the summer of 1987, Greg Norris went to Washington, D.C. The trip was awarded for winning an essay contest sponsored by Tri-County Electric Co-Ops. Greg’s favorite activities on the trip were touring the FBI Building, Arlington Cemetery, and the Supreme Court. An interesting note is Greg was required to do the essay in English IV and it was later submitted. What a surprise it was when Greg was announced as a finalist and then winner! We as- sume Greg has an unknown talent. Just ask him what resources he used for the essay. Now in 1988, Traci Williams will be going to Wash- ington, D.C. after successfully competing against six other finalists in the contest sponsored by Tri-County Electric Co-Ops. Traci comments, ‘‘l was very shocked when | heard | won and I’m very excited about going to Washington.” Melissa Lappin is the winner of the Big Muddy Com- munity Action Agency scholarship for $1,500. This scholarship was given by the Farm Bureau Credit Un- ion. In regard to winning the scholarship, Melissa re- plied, ‘| was happy.”’ She told her Dad when she found out she won, ‘‘Now you have to buy me a car because college is paid for.’’ Melissa plans on attending Rend Lake College and hopes to major in Elementary Special Education. Annette Bochantin won an Illinois State Scholarship for $2,500. Annette will attend Blackburn College in Carlinville while majoring in physical education and pos- sibly health. When asked what her reaction was she replied, ‘‘l was really shocked but pretty happy.” After successfully completing an application and es- say, Christy Ziarnek was awarded $100 from the Mt. Vernon Women’s Club. Christy plans to attend Rend Lake College. Of 14,000 applicants, the United States Air Force awarded only 23% of them a four-year Air Force Re- serve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship. Julia Borowiak was chosen as one of the 3,250 applicants across the nation to receive a four-year Air Force ROTC scholarship. The scholarship provides full college tu- ition and various laboratory, textbook and incidental fees. Scholarship recipients also receive a nontaxable $100 subsistence allowance each month during the 60 school year. However room and board are not paid for by this scholarship. The scholarship award is based on individual merit, not on financial need. Julia had to have a good academic standing and also successfully complete a medical examination and personal interview. She replies, ‘“‘The scholarship is definitely an honor. | guess the hard work did result in great rewards, | am finally happy!”’ Volunteering for candy striping at Good Samaritan Hospital was a good decision made by Heather Jones. Due to her efforts and hours in candy striping for 3 years, the Good Samaritan Hospital Auxiliary Scholarship awarded Heather a $500 scholarship. Upon receiving word she won, she comments, ‘‘l was glad. | was shocked because | never heard from them.”’ Heather plans to attend Rend Lake College and later transfer to Evansville, IN. Kris Laur and Kevin Pierce are receiving a full year of free tuition to Southern Illinois University at Car- bondale based on their excellent ACT scores. Kris plans to major in business administration and Kevin plans to major in electrical engineering. Other scholarship winners who we would like to recognize include: Jimmy Czerwinski — Received a full tuition scholarship to Rend Lake College; Tina Downen — qualified for the President’s Scholars Program at Rend Lake College; Greg Norris — re- ceived a baseball scholarship to Rend Lake College for one semester; Dub Newell — received a Pres- ident’s Scholarship to Rend Lake College. ANXIETY — major symptom of senioritis. _— J.C.B. F ; The George L. Hall Scholarship Fund was es- tablished by George L. Hall, a former resident of the Waltonville School District, through his last will and testament dated October 10, 1977. In his will, Mr. Hall created a trust which provided for his wife during her lifetime and upon her death in November of 1986, 10 specific bequests were made with the balance of the trust property going into the scholarship fund. This fund was created for the purpose of providing financial assistance to worthy graduating seniors of Waltonville High School to obtain a higher education in any college or university of their choice which is accredited. This year’s recipients will receive scholarships amounting to $3,500 each. Mr. E. Gordon Maynard, Il, Assistant Vice Pres- ident Trust Officer of the Citizens National Bank of Evansville, Indiana, stated this is the largest schol- arship fund ever awarded from their bank. The 1988 recipients of the George L. Hall schol- arships are Miss Julia Borowiak and Miss Kris Laur. Four Waltonville students have been chosen as Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois State Schol- arship Commission. Participation in this program is voluntary. In order to enter the competition, high school students must take the ACT and or SAT ex- amination between Jan. 1 and June 30 of their junior year and have their scores sent to the Illinois State Scholarship Commission. Selection of Scholars is based on a combination of their test scores and their class rank at the end of their junior year. About 10% of the students who compete are named as State Scholars. The 1988 State Scholars are Julia Borowiak, Kris Laur, Kevin Pierce, and Bradley Wil- liams. AVC HEADLINE: Curtis Anselment won the “Introductory Division,’’ for first-year students only. In “Architectural Drafting,’ which is open to students with no more than three and a half years of drafting experience, Misty Wheeler placed second. Twila Dees was chosen as Wal tonville High School’s Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen. She was chosen through demonstra- tion of the qualities of dependability, leadership, ser- vice, and patriotism. Here’s another repetition. In ’86 Julia Borowiak attended this conference. This year Susan Wagner will attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth Foundation (HOBY) State Leadership Seminar on American In- centive System in June 1988 at Bloomington, IL. HELPFUL HINT — Do you have trouble getting out of bed? Here’s a solution. One Air Force sergeant drinks three glasses of water at bedtime so nature will herald the morning and he’ll have no choice but to leave his bed! To the class of ’88: ‘‘Don’t be afraid, fear is like a self- built sand castle that seems so real until the tide of other circumstances moves in and washes it away.”’ — Mr. Neil Tracy “Take responsibility for your own success and or fail- ure. Don’t try to blame someone else when you fail. Put the blame where it belongs, on your own shoulders. Begin today to do your best at everything.” — Ms. Marsha Gentry “Always keep a positive attitude and always have a goal.’”” — Ms. Gwendolyn Nussbaum “Don’t ever ride with Brent Wilderman, his driving stinks!’’ — Leonard Ratajczyk ‘Wear the best that you have because you won't have it very long until it’s gone.’ — Melvin Dare “When you're in high school, spend as much time with your friends as you can.

Melissa Lappin Johna Panzier Junior Sabra Shepard Advisor Ms. Gwendolyn Nussbaum edétor s uote The 1988 yearbook consists of 96 pages. The estimated cost for publishing and photography is $6,000. The photographic cover and division pages were specially designed by the Spartan staff with the help of Mr. Roger Stricker. The photography work was done by Delmar, Mr. Stricker, and staff members. Our printer is Taylor Publishing Company. The staff would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in the making of this yearbook. A yearbook will relive high school memories everytime one opens it, whether it’s 10 or 15 years from now. When a person refuses to cooperate with the staff, that person is reducing the memories that could be captured by the book. So the next time a staff member asks for your help, picture, etc., think about their side of the story, and what kind of yearbook you want to have. | have to emphasize the sacrifice the staff and advisor has to make to put together an up-dated ore)aalel=vel ths m{-t-1g o[ele), qm eyvmr-1uc-larel [ale mere) al(-14-181 1-1 Mme le)l ale Wy e)ale)comere)-1¢-(e(-t-Me)am- V -101 Mm o)t-lalaliae rch’ re ]0 cea 1ae| meeting deadlines!
