1987 CARDINAL Warrensburg-Latham High School Warrensburg, Illinois Volume 64 Table of Contents Faculty, Staff Administration Activities Sports Academics and Organizations Classes Advertisements I would like to express my appreciation to the 1986-87 Cardinal staff for their help with this year’s Time Goes On Cardinal yearbook. I'll always remember the staff working together rush- ing to meet a deadline as if we were one big happy family. Our theme Time Goes On helped us enjoy the fun times we had, but also made us realize how soon we would go our separate ways. We will look back with pride at our accomplishments when we meet in the future with former classmates and friends. Our talk will turn from old times to new' times, to new families, friends, careers, and travels reminding us as always that Time Goes On. I would like to thank Herff Jones Publishing Company and Bob Donnelly, our yearbook representative; and D.R. Roberts, our senior and group photographer. A special thank you goes to my advisor, Mrs. Stoa, for all the time and patience she gave me through many tense moments. Susan Albin Cardinal Editor Time Goes On Time .. . Time is the one great equalizer of all people. Each living being has the same 60 seconds in a minute, the same 60 minutes in an hour and the same 24 hours in a day. What we do with our time determines our destiny. Lincoln prepared for his future croached over tattered books by candlelight at day's end. Edison stole hours from sleep to invent the electric light bulb. Bell spent evenings and holidays tinkering with a strange device — the telephone. Each of us has time ... time to set our course in life .. as time goes on. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 11 12 13 18 19 20 21 25 u 27 28 29 30 31 Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas. Time stays, we go. Henry Austin Dobson 4 i Time for Work Time for Play The faculty, staff, and administration spent many hours preparing for classes, supervising extra-curricular events, and participating in pro- fessional activities. The following pages repre- sent a side not often seen — the off duty hobbies and activities of our high school personnel. 5 6 7 Mrs. Martin Mr. Means Miss Mehrtens Mrs. Morford 10 Mr. Shelton Mrs. Smith Mr. Snow Mrs. Stoa u Mrs. Babb. Mrs. Foster. Mrs. VanHook Staff Spends Time on Task Dedication, and patience; this is what our sec- retaries, cafeteria workers, and bus drivers had to practice. Each one of these individuals worked with adults as well as students. The bus drivers brought us to school each day through fog, snow, and heat. The cafeteria workers fed us balanced meals, while the janitors cleaned up after us. Mrs. Bushey and Mrs. Weiss believed our mothers when they called in sick for us. 13 Mr. Ferguson Mrs. Stalter Tony Howe Policy Makers As parents and community members War- rensburg-l.atham's School Board spent many ex- tra hours away from home, family, and business deciding issues and setting policy for the benefit of the students in our district. Under the leader- ship of president Jean Pease, they met formally at least once a month in a regularly scheduled meeting and spent more time visiting class- rooms, helping teachers review and revise cur- riculum. attending sporting events, chaperoning dances, and studying reports and budget figures. The Board lost a long time supporter in April when Dr. Pixley left the area for a new position. Mr. Loveall 14 Time for Decisions Although it may have seemed to some stu- dents that the administration only created new rules, they did have other duties around school including supervision of students and staff; en- forcement of policies, attending extra-curricular activities and occasionally filling in as janitor, teacher, or counselor. Members of the adminis- tration attended an Administrators Academy last summer to learn new techniques in teacher eval- uation, development of curriculum, and other related items. Mr. Shelton joined the ranks of the administration this year as the Vice-Principal. 15 16 i ii • 1 l e s Times To Remember Throughout the course of the year there were often activities outside the normal organizations. Memo- ries from these events will remain through the years. 17 Hawaiian Holidays '86 Aloha! Hawaiian Holidays was the 1986 homecoming theme. The week was filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of barbecued pork chops, crisp Autumn nights, crackling bonfires, and cheering crowds. The Luau was a big success. Rocked by the sounds of Karizma, the dance goers enjoyed fresh pineapple, juicy watermelon and other Ha- waiian snacks. Homecoming Week festivities started off with dress up days, sponsored by the Student Council. Tuesday was Hawaiian Day” marked by brightly colored clothes. On Wednesday stu- dents wore their vacation T-shirts; it seemed as if every state w'ere represented. Thursday was con- cert T-shirt day; students wore T-shirts of their favorite bands. The groups ranged from Ala- bama to AC DC. On Friday students expressed their school spirit by adorning themselves with Red and Gold.

Our eyes to see the branches flow, as the sun shines down and flowers grow. To hear the birds sing so happily, and taste the new apple so snappily. I touch the kitten so warm and soft, he loves to be with me in this dusty barn loft. As I stir about I can smell the hay. It's time to go in, but I want to stay. by Sheila Brame Wishing Wells Wishing Wells remind me of the days with- in my past. The happy dreams of childhood, the ones that never last. Dreams of perfect fairy tales. Like marrying a prince. Dreams that die as one grows older, when life becomes more tense. But do dreams die completely? Can one ever tell? Or are dreams just inside washing Wells? by Jennifer Reid Memories Memories are things that make you glad. Perhaps sometimes they’ll make you sad. When you think of something nice. Your heart goes out like wedding rice. When you think of something sad, Your heart and soul feel so bad. Joyous memories make you smile, Other thoughts may make you think a while. We all have memories of our own. That will stay no matter how we’ve grown. It’s good to keep memories in your heart, So that you will never be apart. Your memories are for you to keep, To live through and love, in your sleep. by Cindy Brownlee Cold, dreary, gray days The loud winter wind howling Like a big huge bear Growling at an intruder While you keep warm by the fireplace. by Tami Ray Poetry winners, L-R.

Never be satisfied With a life that is less than the best Failure lies only in not having tried- In keeping the soul from being suppressed. Aim for a star! Look up and away, And follow its beakoning beam Make each Tomorrow a better Today- And don’t be afraid to dream. Aim for a star, and keep your sights high With a heartful of faith within Your feet on the ground And your eyes on the sky Some day you are bound to win! Sisters Always Argue and Fight. Sisters always argue and fight. Parents say it’s love, maybe they are right. We re so different in so many ways. But we ll stay together, forever, we pray. She’s a year older and smarter than me. But we always have fun, together you see! We always go shopping, down at the mall, And choose the best clothes, out of them all. We always go out and do wild things together. And we'll keep on doing them forever and ever. Choices are something that everyone makes. They are things we give and things we take. When one comes along, its a frightening task. For a choice is something that makes us ask. What do I do, what do I say, Shall we tomorrow or shall we today. Who will get hurt and who will pay, And why do I seem to be in dismay.” But when its all over and the choice has been made, Perhaps those feelings will suddenly fade. Do not look back on what has been said For then again, you may be mislead. So stand by your choice in what ever you do. For that choice was special — it came from you. Believe in yourself and never doubt For you are what your choice is about. by Lynn Gilman by April Wilbur by Kari Kramer The shiny suns rays Glare like Doris Day's face-smile Like twinkling toes On a surfboard at beach Tredding warm water by Ken Parker Parker, K.

Ray One Person In a world Full of People Who may be Smarter Faster Better-looking Stronger Or funnier than you Sometimes you wonder If one person Matters But sometimes One person Can make all the difference In the world Especially To another person Who may wonder If they matter At all. The End of Man and Mouse Alone was the man Alone was the mouse Together alone Alone in the house Each other they spied A store in the eye Neither to realize They soon were to die The mouse ran away As the man stood brave A terrible Hash Twas their last day The flash went down It was barren all around Nothing was to stand It was the end of man and mouse. by Brian Hunter Smile! Have you ever had a day where nothing goes right? Where everything’s dark and nothing is bright. A day without sunshine so dreary and gray. And your friends and family feel just the same way. You begin to think nothing can change your mood. When all it would take wras a smile or two. A smile doesn't seem like such a big deal. But I know how good one can make you feel. So next time you see someone looking a little blue. Just smile and you'll see they'll do the same back to you. by Angie Coogan by Chad Rappe In Battle The horn is blown out on the field. The soldiers upon their horses charge. None yield. The first slash of sword. The first fallen man. No one remembers Who, least not in this land. In battle cry the men they come. Slashing, dashing, falling, done. The heavens roll with thunder. Lightening fills the sky. Conflict, Battle, Rage, War. Names and reasons men fought for. Some say they fight for no reasons, Least of all one. But their kids learn to fight. Their own skills they do hone. It was written in the Book that, We must turn our swords into plowshares. Without the help of the divine, Men will always be in battle. by Tim Farrell Mother Where spring was near and the world was new. And I was newborn as the morning dew. You held me in your arms and kept back my tears, Shhh ..you said, There's nothing to fear.” And as I grew you taught me the things That are necessary for life and the joy it brings. And now I take a moment to reflect, I discover now a deep felt respect. The respect of love; I know that it's true, I am glad to have a mother like you. by Kevin Harmon Never Say Goodbye Never Say Goodbye was the theme of the 1987junior-Senior Prom held May 16th at the KC Hall. The Juniors spent well earned dol- lars for one of the nicest proms ever at WLHS. John Figura and Dan Tyler enter- tained the crowd with the reading of the prophecies, as the Seniors received their lega- cies from their favorite group of underclass- men. 10:00 brought the magic moment when Kevin Call and Sheila Brame were coronated as King and Queen.

Being a small school, everyone can be as involved or uninvolved as they wish. The activities and organizations at WLHS make high school a Time to Remember! 53 Cardinal Staff Records Time The ten member Cardinal staff met as a credit class 7th hour this year. Advertising sales occu- pied the staff first quarter as they contacted over 150 businesses and individuals selling a total of 89 ads. Speakers talked to the class about sales, copy, layout, and photography. The staff, under the able leadership of Susan Albin. covered more than 50 activities throughout the year taking more than 1000 pictures (and still had trouble finding that perfect shot). Mrs. Stoa.

Tensions sometimes ran high, but everyone pulled togeth- er to create a yearbook which would record the school days for 1986-87. Hard work was reward- ed with pop breaks, pizza parties, and a steak fry at Mrs. Stoa's home. 1 3.

The members purchased their own sound system that rocked over 15 dances throughout the year. Among these dances were the Hawaiian Luau for Home- coming; the Thanksgiving dance where they donated $200 to the Salvation Army's Christ- mas Toy Shop; the Christmas dance with a visit from jolly old St. Nick; the China fun- draiser dance for Mrs. Ford; A Valentines dance w here Julie Hengst was selected Ms. Valentine w ith Ken Parker as her escort; and a Nerd dance where Emily Morgan and Dar- rick Jones were the biggest nerd couple. Not only did Student Council dance but they also welcoming the freshman with a Mini-Almost Anything Goes and completed the WLHS sign which can be seen at the intersection of Rt. 121 and North Street in Warrensburg. During the Christmas season they held the annual Deck the Halls when the halls were filled with Christmas cheer and the We Wish You A Beary Merry Christmas. The Student Council also made sure that all of the Kinder- garten and first grades received a letter from Santa. In February they made spice hearts which they delivered to all the staff members in the district and over 30 Senior Citizens in the Warrensburg area. The highlight of the year was on February 12th when the Student Council was featured on WAND's Salute to Warrensburg. Years end brought the annual Almost Anything Goes games and picnic. 1.

Side trips to Disney World and Sea World added extra excitement. The local FHA-Hero Chapter kicked off the year with an old and new member- ship picnic at Stalkers complete with games and hot dogs and toasty marshmallows. On Novem- ber 19th, the chapter attended the sectional IVC rally at the Decatur Civic Center. Marybeth Rand presided as section President while the groups listened to speakers discuss modern married life. Fundraising activities included sales of treasure chest items and the making and selling of pizzas. Christmas was celebrated by caroling at nursing homes followed by a party afterwards at Mrs. Kemmerer’s home. The FHA-Hero Chapter end- ed the year with a funfilled sleepless weekend in St. Louis where they visited the Zoo, Union Station, Botanical Gardens, The Goldenrod Showboat dinner theatre and Six Flags. ■■■ 1.

New places and new faces were the norm for foreign exchange students, 17 year old Timm Weber of West Germany and 18 year old Claus Pederson of Denmark. Hosts for Timm were members of the Donald Sum- mer's family while Claus lived with Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Harmon, Kevin, and Stacy. Claus and Timm attended AFS meetings, a Food Fair at the Decatur Civic Center, and Interna- tional Festival at the Hickory Point Mall and many other organization meetings through- out the county where they shared cultures and experiences. Timm remained in the U.S. until the end ofjune traveling with other AFS students for the last three weeks of his stay. Claus unfortunately left for home earlier than planned in spite of protests of fellow stu- dents. Members of AFS, as well as all W-L students, learned more about West Germany and Denmark, leading to greater world un- derstanding. Final Thoughts Our experiences from changing to a small school from a large school were quite an ordeal. It took time and patience to adapt to a new environment, but with the help of friends, families, and teachers, it was no problem. We would like to thank everyone who made us feel welcome and at home. We had a great time and will miss everyone. Timm and Claus 1. Timm Weber. W. Germany 2. Sharing cultures at the Hickory Pi. Mall Internation- al Fair. 3. Timm with his host parents.

FBI.A Conference participants 77 78 c a s s e s Class Time The frogs” hopped into a new year in a new school and a new beginning. Sopho- mores hustled their way through fund raisers in anticipation of the 1988 Junior Senior prom. Juniors reveled in the glory of a suc- cessful prom while seniors suffered through senioritis on the way to bigger and better. 79 Now is t Time Class of 87’ The 1986-87 school year was the best of times for seniors. Anticipation grew as the year slowly ticked away. May 15th brought an unofficial day off for many, as seniors went fishing, swimming, or traveling to Six Flags or Great America. Prom was quickly followed by baccaleaurate and awards nights. All too soon, graduation came and went. In a flash seniors entered the real world. 80 Susan Marie Albin Tricia Michelle Barger Corinne Rhea Bauer Robert Craig Baum Chandra Lee Bird Sheila Kay Brame Kevin DeWane Call Brian K.

A Time Tears A Time for Joy A Time to Treasure Graduation 1987 Excited seniors marched into the real world to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance. They lis- tened attentively as Valedictorian, Sheila Brame, and Salutatorian, Marla Knackmuhs gave their good luck and good-bye speeches to fellow classmates, parents, teachers, and friends. Marla Knackmuhs sang Friends” accompanied by Martin Mooney on drums and Julie Hengst sang “Time of Your Life. ” Mr. Loveall read the names and Mr. Brame presented the diplomas. Sheila Brame led the class in moving the tassels. The time long awaited arrived and seniors left War- rensburg-Latham High School for jobs, college, marriage, travel, and the great unknown of the future. 3 1.
