CARDINAL Warrensburg-Latham High School Warrensburg, IL 1984 Volume 61 The Hits Of 84 The new and unique, dare to be different, but still be the only person you can be — yourself. Several fads could be found in the W-L hall’s throughout the year. Big earrings, pin stripe jeans, or a concert T-shirt set one right in with the fashions. Students wore pink and gray, the “in” colors, and listened to the music of Boy George on their Walkmans. Camouflage outfits also could be seen. Not only were the clothes out- landish, but some students used a remarkable work-lingo. Phrases like “Ba-ha-ha” and “Eeeeh Baby!” could be heard. “No clues”, “Goood Girl”, and “Hey You Lick” were some more sayings. W-L at times seemed like a new wave institute. Students wore multi- 1.

Sherene and Jody, have you been letting those cosmetology students experiment again.! Too bad this isn’t in color. 2 Fads colored creations. Some graduating seniors even mastered the art of painting and ripping their old clothes to be a Hit in '84. There were other hits this year. The Cardinal students started the year out well by winning the homecoming game. The boys basketball team became another hit when they won regionals. Then and Now proved to be a popular event of the year, too. Near the end of the year, the Juniors and Seniors enjoyed Prom. And who can could forget the crazy — almost athletic — Almost Anything Goes. 1984 — a great year — what a hit! 1. Shoes for every occasion. 2. Stephanie models fads, including glasses and big earrings. 3. Locker decorating a favorite was a favorite fad. 4. How would you like to meet Paul in a dark alley? 5. Girl Rhonda poses for her fans.

Whether it be the clothes you wore, the things you said, or the way you spent your time, each person will consider 1984 a hit for various reasons. A special thank you goes to the dedicated Cardinal staff and Mrs. Jordan who spent hours putting their ideas and talents to use. The Cardinal staff would also like to thank Cliff Hollon for his clever cardinals which appear on the title page and throughout the book. I hope the Cardinal has touched on a few of the things that made 1984 a hit year for you. Shari Burdine Cardinal Editor 4 1. Yearbook Staff: S. Burdine. J. VanLear. B. Summers, T. Bragg, J. Pederson.

For we can look back to the times that we shared. For at W-L we know there are friends who care. Yvonne Bauer 1.

I’m a Junior? It can’t be. I’m too young to be this old. There are so many deci- sions. Do I go to school, or do I get a job? One semester is already gone. At the beginning of the year, I came in proud, ready to face the world, my friends. Hey, I’m cool. Don’t mess with me. After one semester it all fells different. I'm almost a senior and the big cheese. It’s all closing in, and it’s al- most over. I don’t want to leave. My friends are here, my fa- vorite teachers. I have only one year to get it all done, so I’ll sit back and have me some fun. Why not? It only happens once. My junior year will be full of cheer. My junior year! It has a ring. Hey. I like it. My junior year is great! Jill McBride Class of '85 officers: Secretary. Pam Brame; Vice President. Susan Hopkins: Treasurer, Kim Davis: Presi- dent. Mike West. Ready for take-off. Jill?

After all, freshman year is al- ways the worst. With a little seniority on our side, we entered the year filled with pride. We knew what to expect; we knew the ropes; we be- gan a new year full of high hopes. We ordered class rings that fit our style, and built our float that brought a smile. Knowing now how to march in step, not being afraid at assemblies to show our pep. Speeches in English II were something to dread, as well as sophomore classes, like health and consumer ed. Planning for the future, we sold candy bars. (Please turn in your money) Know- ing we'd get our license, we began looking at cars. With our license came free- dom we made decisions on our own. Yet to buy gas. we went to our parents for a loan. We have two years behind us and two lie ahead. Know- ing the worst is over, the Class of '86 has nothing to dread. John and Brett look thoughtful. Wonder what Jodi. Kim, and Kathy are think- ing. Class of 86 officers: Treasurer, Suzanne West: President.

So much older, yet compared to the upperclassmen, so much younger. We were filled with all kinds of emo- tions. We were nervous; where do we go? Scared; will the seniors accept us? Wor- ried; will it be a hard year? Curious; what is high school all about? Despite all this, we were excited and ready for a new and, we hoped, interest- ing experience. Soon we learned that we were filled with many of the wrong emotions. Sure, the halls were crowded, the classes longer, and we found ourselves drowned in home- work. But, we were in a new atmosphere with more free- dom than we’d expected. The upperclassmen involved us in activities and helped us when we needed it. There were lots of new people to meet and lots of new friend- ships to make. We hadn't dreamed of all the clubs to join, things to do. and activi- ties to get involved in. We could now chew gum, and the days were going by fast. Sure, semesters were tough and sometimes depressing, but when we saw our grades, we simply remembered the great time we had at home- coming! Being a freshman has been a lot of fun and as much as we'd like this year to last, we're looking forward to big- ger and better things, like be- ing a sophomore. Brian.

Pledging to maintain these stan- dards in the May 20 induction ceremony were seventeen sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The ceremony included the traditional lighting of the candles. The chapter members made and sold athletic buttons in the fall and Christmas buttons in the winter. Their profits were used for their May trip to Springfield, where they visited the Illinois State Museum and White Oaks Mall. 3 4 5 1. Row 1: S. Bruner. J. VanLear. J. Jacoby, K. Kerr. M. Pixley. B.

Thirteen juniors and seniors participated; two individuals placed. Yvonne Bauer received sec- ond in biology and Jim Mathews tied for third in graphics. On March 10. twenty-four students, who comprised the Math team, traveled to Eastern for the Regional Compe- tition of the Illinois Council of Teachers in Mathematics State math contest. Students from ten class A high schools from Central Illinois competed in several different events at all grade levels. Individual winners, who later went to state competition, were: M. Michels (first, geometry); J. Oakley (third, geometry); P. Pease and B. Franzen (tied for third in Algebra II); and M. Brunette (fifth in Algebra I).

With a year of experience behind them, the flag squad approached the season with high hopes. They began practicing and learning new complicated steps during the summer. During a summer camp, they were under the guidance of a special instructor, who taught them new actions and routines. The girls then performed with the marching band at halftime of the home foot- ball games. Squad member, Tammy Fisher, expressed the feeling of the squad, “It was a lot of work and a lot of fun.” 1.

After much hard work, the band put on spectacular performances, especially on Senior Night. During the winter, the band performed in the Christmas Con- cert playing “Sleigh Ride” and selections from “The Nutcrack- er Suite.” Spring brought the Macon County Festival at St. Teresa, in which several members from our band participated.

About 130 people would have to find something else to take during first hour. The twenty-three people in this year’s musical cast would have nev- er experienced the fun of working so hard to produce a success- ful show. But, we do have music, and our chorus worked hard all year to perfect their musical talents. In the fall the chorus sold candles to raise money to purchase a swing choir stage and outfits for the Cardinettes. In Decem- ber. the chorus presented the annual Christmas Concert high- lighted with a selection written by Scott Faith and Mrs. Scan. Thirty-three entries went to contest at Millikin in March.

The annual Homecoming activities were organized by the council in the fall. The theme was “Celebrate” and the band Borderline performed at the Homecoming Dance. Besides the Homecoming activities, many other activities were planned. In the fall, a freshman welcome was sponsored with games and refreshments. Winter activities in- cluded a Christmas Dinner for the Senior Citizens and a “Deck the Halls” party involving teachers, parents, and students. In mid-Fre- 1. Row 1: P. Brame. K. Romer. A. Fisher. T.

With donations and Student Council funds, a 6'X10’ Cardinal floor mat was purchased for the school. By decorating the halls with posters, conducting class elections, and sponsoring dress-up days, student council was very productive this year. Finishes Year Full of Fun And Games 1. Tina.

They are very nice and understanding people, and I had so much fun living with them. I am very thankful for all of the people in this school, especially those who always helped me. I wish to all of you much success in the future. I really enjoyed my AFS year in this community. It was full of new and very interesting experiences that I won’t forget.

During my year in the United States, my host family was the Donald Summers family who were very wonderful people. It is difficult to look back on this year and tell my feelings, but it has been an experience that I'll never forget. So many new things have happened to me here. The most important things have been WLHS and all its students and teachers. It is very hard to start in a new school, especially when you are foreign and don’t know to much about the American school system, but everybody was so nice and helpful to me that I never felt left out. We don't have different clubs in school in Denmark. We don’t even have sports at school. So I enjoyed getting involved in the clubs and going to the ballgames at WLHS. I want to thank everybody for your friendship and understanding. One day I’ll be back to see everybody again. 8 9 2. Patty plays the part of the flower girl in the March wedding. 3.

The Mel Brook’s musical entitled All American centered around the arrival of Stanislavs Fodorski (Dennis Ater), a foreign professor, at the college. Fodorski found himself caught between love for the dean, Elizabeth Hawkes-Bollock (Laina Wubben), and stardom as the All-American coach of the year. This was little more than a publicity stunt created by the college’s influential trustee, H.H. Hilly Henderson (Shari Burdine). Fodorski got more than he bargained for when he used football to bridge the gap between himself and his stu- dents. Susan Piedmont (Marla Knackmuhs), the presi- dent’s daughter, found Fodorski outrageous and knew something had to be done. Football was coming between her and the heart of Edwin Bricker (Jason McCain), the team's all-star kicker. Elizabeth and Susan knew the only way they'd win Fodorski and Bricker was if the team lost the big Cotton Bowl game. The ladies succeeded in their venture, and the team lost. When Fodorski decided to pack up and go back to Wittenburg University in Europe, everything looked grim. But, upon the arrival of his natu- ralization papers, Fodorski decided to give American citi- zenship a try, realizing there is more to life than being number one. 1.

The songs ranged from down to earth songs like Tuxedo Junction to out of this world songs like The Twilight Tone”, from wild and crazy songs like Maniac” to sophisticated songs like Gigue . The singers traveled across the world and through time singing songs from Old England, Ireland, Scotland, and Israel. Then they came back to the present singing the lively melodies of the Blues Brothers.

During the summer, eleven cheerleaders started planning for the sports year. They sold suntan lotion and sweet corn to raise money for new sweaters. The abolishment of the J.V. and Varsity squads was a major change for the cheerleaders. The squad scheduled different girls to cheer together at different times. They carefully planned so each girl cheered an equal number of events. The cheerleaders cheered a total of 59 contests and 10 tournaments. The senior, three juniors, two sophomores, and five freshmen girls cheered for the first time for the girls sporting events, (as well as for the traditional boys events.) This resulted in the production of several new cheers. Throughout the football, volleyball, cross-country, girls and boys basketball 1. Row one: J. Day. S. Brame. B. Summers. Row two: J. Jacoby. J.

They decorated the halls, lockers, and even the locker room. They treated various teams to cookies, candy, and spirit centered notes. The cheerleaders were also responsible for several pep assemblies, skits, and the pie in Mr. Hawley's face. During home- coming they cheered at the bonfire, led the snake dance, and built their own float. The squad was not allowed to cheer at away events this year, with the exception of tournaments. The cheerleaders were sponsored by Mrs. Southern. Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Jacoby. 1. Aren't we cute? 2. Hey Laina. Look!! 3. Hi. there. 4. This IS our mount. 5. Laina and Beth are working hard. Cheerleaders 97 The Music’s On, Girls Creativity, practice, and hard work account for the huge success of this year's pom-pon squad. The sixteen girls and one alternate danced to the beat of various songs which included Thriller,” Sharp Dressed Man,” Old Time Rock 'n' Roll,” and Human Touch.” The girls sold candy bars in the fall to help raise money for new sweaters. Senior squad member Mary Pixley felt that this year’s squad had fun even though the early morning practices were torture. But, she said, it was worth it. The squad performed at both the girls and boys basketball games, alter- nating with the band. Junior, Susan Hopkins, was named Miss Sparkle and Shine” for the year. 1. High steppers. 2.

The Wrestlerettes hope to raise enthusiasm for the wrestling squad so it will be supported. The five sophomores and one junior draw attention to the fact that wrestlers work as hard as any other athletes. Since the Wrestlerettes are not financially supported by the school, the girls held a day camp and a bottle drive to buy new uniform sweaters. Their goal is to raise enough money to buy new uniforms for the wrestlers. Besides cheering at home and away meets, the Wrestlerettes also served as hostesses of the district wrestling tournament which was held at Warrensburg. Wrestlerettes Support Team 1. Wrestlerettes: L.
