Warrensburg Latham High School - Cardinal Yearbook (Warrensburg, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 144 of the 1983 volume:

2 Step By Step Page By Page The theme of the 1983 Cardinal, Step by Step, was designed to show how we go about accomplishing our goals. You can’t score the win- ning touchdown without that first sprint. You can't have that great friendship without that first con- versation. You can't capture the lead in the musical without that first “do re me. You can't go steady with the most popular girl in school without that traumatic first date. You can't be a Valedic- torian without first opening a book. Beginnings are very important. Without the first note, there is no song. Without the first smile, there is no laugh. Without the first step, there is no journey.

We took each layout, each headline, each cap- tion one step at a time. Our staff was small, but mighty. We proved that it is quality that is important, not necessarily quantity. By coop- erating with each other, we man- aged to overcome late pictures, missing copy, and those “it-can't- be-this-soon deadlines. Not only did our theme epito- mize our staff, but our lives. We learned to walk by taking that first step and probably falling. We learned to talk by uttering that first word and probably stuttering. We made friends, gained knowl- edge, and did our best by putting one foot in front of the other. We should always remember to take life step by step. — Beth Walden Cardinal Editor 1.

HOW much copy do we have to write?” Teresa asks. 4. Deadline? Who cares? 5. A typical meeting. 6. Kila and the infinite search for just the right picture. 7. Togetherness is an important part of yearbook staffing. 8. Kila, keep your cotton-pickin' hands off the new cropper. 5 Mary chals with her mom and dad after Parent’s Night.

After all. “We were now upperclass- men . . . This means new and exciting experiences like: planning prom, taking the P.S.A.T. exam, and the A.C.T. exam. In the fall we showed our ability to work together as a class when we constructed the number one float for the homecoming parade. For some of us our junior year meant a new and different experience with vocational training at A.V.C. But being juniors also meant experiencing some of the same things, like U.S. History class. Candy sales, committee meetings and our early planning paid off as May rolled around and prom was a huge success. As juniors, we can look back on our underclassmen years and remember all of the fun times. But, we also have to look ahead and see what the future holds for each one of us.

Stefanie 32 Sophomores 33 m Jay Angel Wade Armstrong i Dennis Ater Jody Auten Jerrv Belcher The Class of '85 had mixed feelings about the school year ... For some the best part of the year was not being picked on . .. “You're not a frog anymore. For others, getting a driver’s license was the highlight. There were a few for whom the highlights were football games, the art trip to Chicago, or simply playing basketball in the gym at noon. Most felt speeches for English, poor slips, semester ex- arms. or tardies in health were most forgettable. Cupid pulled a few strings and some said the year was the best because of “that certain someone. Of course, the class of '85 w ill always remember running at ISU ... Susie Mills's shorts . .. poor slips ... a smoke bomb in the boys rest room .. . turning 16 .. Punk Rock Day. . . Making high- est honors... and the little bit of seniority that sophomore year brings.

Student Council encouraged stu- dents to leap into the time machine to become rock stars, bootleggers, hippies or what they’d always dreamed of being. Saturday’s activities began with an afternoon parade that was bigger and better than ever. There were more floats with groups from the community taking part in the festivities. The parade was highlighted by the appearance of many of the twenty-five former WLHS Home- coming queens. All of this was followed by a heart stopping 13-12 victory over Princeville. Everyone slipped and slid that evening on a sawdust covered floor with music provided by Powdermill Hill. 1. The Sophomores’ fairy tale. 2. 1983 Homecoming Court. 3. First place was captured by the Juniors. 4. King Lance Patient and Queen Bobbi Har- vey. 5. Senior escort Bill Barnes and Attendant Amy Hawkins. 6. The opening dance led by the court. 7. Enthusiasm ran high at the pep assembly. 8. A couple of Harley rats, perhaps? 9. An average lunchroom scene at WLHS. Homecoming 49 ANNIE, GET YOUR GUN The annual musical was a western titled, “Annie, Gel Your Gun. The play revolved around the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. Every year the manager of the show. Buffalo Bill (Bill Barnes), sponsors a shooting contest to determine the greatest sharp-shooter in the world. The local champion, Frank Butler (Dennis Ater), challenges the new stranger in town, Annie Oakley (Abbie Bunt- ing). to this year's contest.

A Step Toward Nutrition This year’s F.H.A. Chapter proved to be successful in reaching its goals. In September the new and old member picnic was held with over seventy people attending. The major money-making pro- ject for F.H.A. came in October when Treasure Chests were sold. The money raised from this project went toward the annual trip which was taken in May. The 1982-83 chapter chose nu- trition as its main topic with Kim Kerr and Amy Barding as the Peer Educators. Also, a group of F.H.A. members presented a skit to the third and fourth graders. They were Kristin Delaney, Peggy Wal- ters, Sherry Bruner, Sherry Reyn- olds, Amy Hawkins, Kim Jordan, Kim Kerr, and Annette Janvrin. The annual Section 4-C rally, held at Millikin in January, was attended by 65 members. During February the members celebrated F.H.A. week with spe- cial events. The week consisted of Red and White Day, Punk Day, Hawaiian Day, Slave Day, and the sale of carnations. The highlight of the year came on May 20-21. Members with enough points were eligible to go on the trip to Chicago. 1. Past F.H.A. members, along with Amy, ride on the F.H.A. float in the homecoming parade. 2. Debbie.

FHA 59 Each year an AFS student writes another almost exactly same column about himself and the year here at WLHS. but I wanted to write something really special and meaningful about being a part of Warrcnsburg-Latham because my year has been special and meaningful to me. I lived with the Loren Pixley family, and they were under- standing, giving, and a lot of fun to live with. Here at school I was in volleyball, basketball, girls' track, FHA, National Honor Society, Cardinal staff, Cardinette staff, and Scholas- tic Bowl. I enjoyed my year and experienced many new things. I saw my first tornado, dust storm, snow fall, and was really amazed at the Illinois landscape. It’s very different from my home in Wanganui New Zealand. But the things I'll miss the most about WLHS are my friends and the fun times we had. I really wish the best of times to any AFS students that come to WLHS in the future. It's a fun place to stay, and I'll miss it and all its people very much. Jane Nugent New Zealand 1 spent the summer of 1982 in Athens, Greece. Athens is the capital of the country and the largest city. I stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Konstandinos Zavliaris and had two little brothers, Dimi- trios, 12, and Alexandros, 6. My family was very nice and happily welcomed me into their home. Because we stayed in an apartment building on the beach during the month of July, I spent a lot of time at the beach. During August I took several tours to see the country- side. I also spent a lot of time shopping and walking around down- town Athens. The Greeks are a very friendly and emotional people. Because their country is so old, their culture is deeply rooted in tradition. It is a unique mixture of the old and the new, and they are very proud of it. I had a different summer but I had a good time. It was a summer that I will always remember. Teresa Summers Greece 60 APS TRAVELING WITH AFS Our AFS student this year was Jane Nugent, from New Zealand. The club kept busy this year. We held a Halloween costume party at the park building in Warrensburg, which was a big success. During October we canvassed the commu- nity, taking in the money the club needs to operate. The club was really pleased with the communi- ty's support. In November we had a paper and aluminum can drive to raise additional funds. In Decem- ber the club hosted 23 foreign stu- dents and their brothers and or sisters from different communi- ties. The students arrived on Fri- day the 10th, immediately after school and stayed until Sunday afternoon. They attended the bas- ketball game on Friday night. On Saturday they toured Parks Eggs, went ice skating, and attended a progressive dinner that evening. There was a potluck on Sunday for the students and the families they lived with over the weekend. All of the students said that they really had a good time. 1. Row I: T. Philhower. S. Bode. T. Summers. K. Hall. J. Nugent. A. Bunting. T. Roby. J. Somppi. B. Wal- den. Row 2: Mrs. Ford. B. Summers.

When you put all of this talent together you have the uplifting sounds of our band. The band had several chances to show off their talents this year. It began with band camp in the summer. A new flag squad was formed this year. They were successful in highlighting the marching Cardinals dur- ing football season. In December, the band performed at the annual Christmas concert doing several well prepared selections. March was a busy month for the band. Ma- con County band festival was held at Nian- tic, where twelve W-L band members were selected for honor band. March was also the month for contest, which was held at Milli- kin. Seven groups or individuals from W-L received excellent ratings. The band ended the year with the Spring Concert in May. 1. Skipping band to join the chorus line? 2. The drummers march on. 3. Director Mr. Brennan takes control of the band. 4. The Marching Cardinals. 5. This is an odd place to play follow the leader. 6. The clarinet section, all in step. 7. Who's missing? 8. The trombones show off for the cam- era. Band 63 COLORFUL FLAGS The newly formed flag squad consisted of eleven members who performed with the marching band at half time of all the home foot- ball games. The flag squad began practicing a few weeks before school started under the direction of Mr. Bren- nan and Mr. Gene, a former stu- dent teacher at WLHS. A few days before band camp began, the squad learned basic steps, com- mands, and routines. By the end of band camp, the flag squad was practicing with the band. Bobbi Harvey and Tara Roby made the black skirts the girls wore with their cardinal red sweat- ers. The girls had a lot of fun per- forming at the games, and the year proved to be a huge success. 1.

While the newspaper staff was busy printing news, the WLHS student radio staff was busy pre- paring their shows to be broadcast over the intercom before school. With the money raised from newspaper sales. Editor-in-chief Beth Walden and Managing Edi- tor Kim Giberson attended sum- mer camp sponsored by the East- ern Illinios High School Press Association before school began and were able to share some of their experiences and new ideas with the rest of the staff. Some new ideas were “Bob and Bill’s Thought Corner” (compli- ments of Bob Romer and Bill Barnes) and the infamous “Cardi- nal Sins”, the gossip column. The final issue, which included the Senior Magazine and the results of the Senior Poll, was special to the entire staff because it was the last CARDINETTE WLHS would ever see. 1. Cardincttc staff.

In De- cember the Chorus sang tradition- al Christmas songs at their annual concert. In February, the group struggled through a blizzard to Macon High School for the Macon County Choral Festival. In March, several soloists and ensembles from W-L ventured to contest. For the first time, the Swing Choir also attended contest and received a first place rating. All of the groups attending placed first or second. The Pops Concert in May re- volved around the theme of Broad- way musicals. The mass chorus sang songs from FAME, and “One from A CHORUS LINE.

The mural, representing the first 100 years of the village, was presented to the Village Board in June. The year started with a fall trip to the Art Institute of Chicago. Later. Brett Franzen and Beth Underwood attended a Rem- brandt Society Convention in Springfield and enjoyed dinner at the Governor's Mansion. Art club members sold candy and raised enough money to pur- chase display boards for their an- nual art fair. The Fine Arts Fair, held in the spring, brought Cliff Hollon a Best of the Show award, his second year in a row. During the first week of March, local artist, Larry Weathcrholt, presented a three day workshop to art students. Art Club officers are: Pete Dragstrem, President; Doug Alumbaugh, Vice-President and Public Relations; Joey Hickey, Secretary-Treasurer. 1.

The club members were always there to tape extra- curricular and classroom activi- ties. They could always be relied on to be at all of the athletic events, taping every rebound, spike, or touchdown. The choral and band concerts, musicals, and marching band are only a few of the other activities the Video Club recorded this year. All of the club’s hard work paid off when the students and athletes watch themselves on tape. It's helpful when one has the opportu- nity to watch himself in action — winning the game, stealing the show, or giving that speech. 1. The Video Club members and their advisor, Mr. Shelton.

Student Council was planning activities to add levity to the school day. The Congress, in its second year, met monthly with Mr. Clodi to discuss changes that needed to be made in the curriculum, the building, or in activities. Ideas were tossed about and many acted upon. Student Council had another active year. Their major accomplishment was Homecoming '82. They handled the vo- ting for the court, the floats, and the decorating of the gym. With the help of their sponsors. Mr. and Mrs. Martin and Miss Merhtens, the Council made plans for next year, including improvements of procedures for Homecoming. Both groups exhibited true leadership qualities with the entire student body benefiting. 1. Traci finally gives Greg what he deserves. 2.

It holds a team competition every spring and all area schools are invited to partici- pate. There are six areas of compe- tition and each school enters four students in each category: chemis- try, math, physics, biology, graph- ics, and English. Each participant takes a test in two categories. The lop two scores in each category are added together to obtain the team score. This year Warrensburg- Latham placed second in the small school division. Tim Auten won first place for engineering graph- ics. Jim Jackson won second in math, and Mary Pixley won sec- ond in biology. Several members of the JETS team were also Illinois State Scholars. These awards are based on ACT scores and class rank. The student must be in the top 10% of his class and have a high ACT score. This award honors the top students in Illinois. 1. Illinois State Scholars: Row I: J. Jackson, G. Fombcllc. D. Schrodt.

They enter- tained the students with humor- ous, spirit-filled skits. For the Homecoming assembly, they put on a skit called “Rice Pudding” which had the whole crowd laugh- ing. The cheerleaders decorated a truck to be used as their float in the Homecoming parade. They rode in an old-fashioned fire engine, chanting cheers throughout War- rensburg. There were several firsts for the girls this year. They cheered at the Macon County Cross Country meet and were on hand to award the trophies. They fired up the fans with the help of the Cardinal mascot who appeared near the end of the basketball sea- son. The cheerleaders faithfully supported the teams and the school in spirit this year. They worked hard, but they also enjoyed them- selves. 1. When you go to a Cards game ... 2. Varsity—Top to bottom: Tanya Mill- er. Kim Kerr, Julie Van Lear, Debbie Jones, Kelly Weiss. 3.

This year was the first year the squad performed for girls games, and they proved to be a great addi- tion to the season. A clinic at Clinton was held on Novem- ber 6 for all area squads. The girls learned various routines while being judged on skill, appearance, and personality. The WLHS “Halftime Highlights” walked away as the big winners, racking up ribbons for first place for best pom pon squad, first place for sparkle and shine, and another first for quickest learners. They captured second place for best over all pom pon routine, and third place for hardest working squad. All through the season, various squad members made up the routines used at the games. Songs used for the routines were tophits, including Gloria. Flamethrower, Mickey. Everybody Wants You, and Hurts So Good. Midway through the season the squad added gloves to their look, giving their uni- form more color and pizazz. The squad was headed by President Bob- bie Harvey. Vice-President Amy Hawkins. Secretary Paula Betzer, and Treasurer Su- san Hopkins. On March 3. the pom pons were locked up. and the stereo put away to end another pom pon season. 1. Amy.

Sponsored by Mrs. Wanda Day, the six member squad cheered tne Wrestlers on at both home and away meets, adding much enthusi- asm and excitement to the events. The girls worked hard for the new uniforms that added much to their look. Unfortunately, the Wrestlerette squad has been cut. During the athletic banquet, Mrs. Day stated, The Wrestlers will have cheer- leaders next year, but not Wrest- lerettes. Let’s hope that next year we will see some familiar faces cheering as cheerleaders.” I Wresllerettes. Lower-left clockwise: Susan Patterson. Vicki Hector, Su- anne Bode.

At 11:40 each day about sixty-five students board the bus going to the Decatur Area Voca- tional Center. At the center, the students study various occupa- tions, such as secretarial practice, nursing, and drafting. The stu- dents have an opportunity to not only study but to have hands-on experiences in their chosen occu- pations. Other students choose to participate in the Co-Op program, attending school half day and working for pay and credit. The co-op organization was not too suc- cessful in its money-making pro- jects, but the students managed to have a good year without money and ended their co-op experience with a banquet at Duff s in Spring- field. 1.

At first a means to purchase the pins could not be found. Then Mr. Major, NHS advisor, brain- stormed and came up with the idea to sell athletic buttons. Pictures were taken by Mr. Major and Vice-President Greg Fombelle of all W-L athletes and these were made into buttons. Parents and friends were then able to buy the buttons and wear them at the ath- letic events. Under the leadership of President Jim Jackson and Committee Chairman David Schrodt, the buttons were a suc- cessful venture, and pins were awarded at the spring Induction Ceremony. With what money was left the Honor Society took a trip to St. Louis to the McDonnell Planetar- ium and to the zoo. After a scenic tour of the town, the group stopped by Duff's Smorgasbord to feast. 1. NHS Row I: Beth Walden. Bonni Grandon. Bobbie Harvey. Mary Pix- Icy, Suzanne Bode. Jacquc Jacoby. Kim Kerr.

CHANGES FOR CARDINALS The mighty Cardinal machine stops the powerless Princes. The 1982 football team saw many new changes this season which included play- ing as independents and having after- noon games. The team seemed to be starting out on the right foot at the beginning of the season by defeating the Macon Ironmen and the Argenta Oreana Bombers. Then the Shelbyville Rams ended the Cardi- nals winning streak by defeating them. The Cards also suffered losses from Eu- reka, Tremont, Peoria Heights, Sulli- van, and Villa Grove, to finish the season with a record of 3-6. The highlight of the season came on October 23 when the Mighty Cardinals took control of the game during the fourth quarter and slipped by the Prince- ville Princes 13-12 in the heart-stopping Homecoming game. The end of the season came when the Villa Grove Blue Devils defeated the Cardinals 13-6 at W-L senior night. All senior fall athletes and band members and their parents were honored before the game. Senior football team members honored were: Co-captains Lance Pa- tient and Tom Williams, Bob Boyle, Mike Hopkins, Todd Poelker and Daryl Taylor. At approximately 10:00 on November 6, the lights were turned off at the W-L football field, and another Cardinal football season came to an end. Freshman: Row 1: R Brown. A Romcr. J. Lichtcnbcrgcr.

Mrs. McCarthy and Miss Mueth, but by the end of the sea- son, everyone had adjusted. The Varsity team appeared to be shaky at times, but always snapped out of it in the nick of time. Their major accomplishment was getting third in the Macon County tournament by edging out Argenta-Orcana in a tough match. The team, with three sophomores, three juniors, and seven seniors ended with a 9-13 record. The Junior Varsity team, which was made up of thirteen sopho- mores and seven freshmen, had an outstanding season. They ended with a 14-6 season and also placed third in the Buffalo tourney, ney.
