QU lbw MM .GLS iid K 1 , J' At first glance Watseka Community High School looks like a plain, everyday high school that could be seen anywhere. It is com- prised of 139 freshmen, 140 sophomores, 139 juniors, 113 seniors, 1 principal, 1 assistant principal, 39 teachers, 2 secretaries, 6 cooks, and 3 janitors work- ing together in a two story brick building. The building itself is not new or spectac- ular. But, if a person were to take a closer look at W.C.H.S. and its inhabi- tants, several different characteristics would be ap- f ' S parent that makes us differ- ent from anybody else.

The win boosted everyone's assurance that this Home- coming would be a special one. Saturday evening, Homecoming was at its ulti- mate best. Seniors Jim Selk and Debbie Yergler reigned over the dance as the newly crowned king and queen. With Free Wheeling provid- ing the entertainment, cur- rent students and past graduates all agreed that the year of the Star Warriors was one to be remembered.

Monday brought on the weir- dest socks available as it was hailed Sock it to 'eml day. Wearing their clothes backwards on Tuesday, the students displayed their spirit as it was We're Be- hind You Warriors day. Wednesday the Warriors were Best Over-All as students wore their overalls to prove it. Fifties day was once more brought to W.C.H.S. on Thursday. The Seniors knew just the right tactics to walk away with first place in the Almost Anything Goes contest at the pep rally Thursday even- ing. Friday morning, Quill and Scroll held their annual breakfast which started Ma- roon and White day off on the right foot. Enthusiasm truly abounded at W.C.H.S. dur- ing Spirit Week.

Not until the band quit playing at 11:00, was the dance floor ever cleared. the coats of arms, the broadswords, and the invit- ing edibles .

The many different fash- ions evident in the clothing industry today can be found for the most part, in our own school. Several girls enjoy the economy and practicality of gaucho pants . The gau- chos can serve a dual role, being worn to affect a casual look while they can also be displayed in a more formal manner. Scarves were worn in a variety of ways . All types of sweaters seemed to be in style . One of the newer trends , painter's pants , caught on rapidly and was exhibited by the students in numer- ous manners. But although many differ- ent modes of dress incor- porated themselves into the fashion world, the de- pendable faded blue den- ims still ruled the hall- ways . Although many styles of dress come and go, blue jeans are still around, as shown by Mr. Smith.

The contest con- sisted of two flights -- Flight I for the smaller squads and the Open Flight, specifically for the larger bands . Five bands competed in each division. Rock Falls marched to victory in Flight I, while the James B. Conant band from Hoffman Estates captured the Open Flight crown. The contest, sponsored by Watseka drum major, Bruce Heuton, awards the first place trophy to a majorette from Conant. The Marching Rockets from Rock Falls feature their percussion section in this part of their drill. the Band Boosters, along with the Kiwanis Club, at- tracted many observers de- spite the cold, drizzly weather. The conditions did not hamper the performers , as the competition pro- gressed at a brisk pace. In preparation for the con- test many band members ar- rived early Saturday after- noon to make signs, clean up and do the many necessary tasks essential to the suc- cess of the event. The Band Boosters took care of the concessions while the Civil Defense lent its assistance in many ways. This marked the first year that any such competition had been attempted. The in- augural contest laid the pre- cedent for the future con- tests since the event will now be held annually. Band Contest 17 Deep Into The Forest With Hansel And Gretel , Many of the roles in Hansel and Gre tel are played by grade schoolers. Portzraying the witch is Sherry Webb. 18 Play Ken Bird and Paula Luellen also take part in the play. Grade schoolers Mike Mmphy, An- drew Mattem, jennifer Mattern, and Melissa De1Fiero discuss the Wicked Step mother. In the food scene are Kerry Wright, Wendy Roth, and Teresa McArdle . Andrew Mattem, Melissa Del Fiero, jennifer Mattern, and Mike Murphy perform a Herr Schmidt dance . Renee Tucker, Robin Robin, sits pa- tiently waiting for her cue . On November 18 and 19 Mrs . Sally Webb and the Drama Club presented l. E . Clark's Hansel and Gretel. In addition to the high school students, young grade schoolers , active in Mrs . Webb's summer Creative Dramatics and Puppetry Class, also held roles in the cast. The students involved put forth much time and effort in the staging of Hansel and Gretel. However, the cast felt it was worth while be- cause it gave the student body the opportunity to trav- el deep into the forest with Hansel and Gretel. Play 19 v ---- - Y YI. V , .,,,, -..

These events stick in the minds of the people and when one reminisces it is that event or events that tends to bring to mind that year. This past school year two occurences especially come to mind and both of them af- fected the whole community. The first, a serious train derailment, brought on the evacuation of almost the whole town, and it was not until after a train car in danger of exploding was righted that the people could return to their homes. Photos cotutesy of Illiana Spirit. The second, a blizzard that demobilized the whole county and most of the state, also affected everyone. People found themselves stranded on highways , or stuck in their homes. It was one of the worst blizzards in the state's recent history and ended up causing everyone to wonder why early winter forecasts were not similar to those released last win- ter. Of course there were many other events that will be re- membered for a long time, but those two seemed to be the most notable and discon- certing to the people of the community.

These books were a renewed edition in the same series as the old Algebra I and Algebra II books . The major differ- ences in the two editions were fly a rearranging and consequent simplifying of material and C25 a change in artistic design. According to Darren How- ard, the new books were very explanative . Tom Mooney also started to en- joy it fAlgebra ID this year because he was doing bet- ter in it. Paula Luellen was glad I took Algebra II last year because last year's book looks harder than this year's book. 24 Math While Algebra got new books, General Math, Ge- ometry, and Math IV did not. General Math continued to teach basic mathematical skills. For those students who had successfully com- pleted Algebra, Geometry was designed to provide them with an insight into the structure of mathematics and to explain the relation- ship between theory and re- ality in two-and three-di- mensional space. Math IV was a different, unique, challenging experience in- tended as College prepara- tion for those students de- siring a career in engineer- ing, the mathematical or physical sciences, or com- puter science. Following the day's lesson, Math IV students relax and look over the next assignment.

Mr. Dudley's freshmen studied mental health, fac- tors affecting personality, and the effects of smoking, the structural, chemical, and physiological aspects of life. Mr. Fults and Mr. Peabody taught their chemistry stu- dents the structure of atoms -- electron configuration, shells, and subshells. Chemistry students then ad- vanced to experiments de- signed to teach the proper- ties and behavior of atoms and elements . Mr. Peabody endeavored to teach his Physics class forms of energy, such as mechanical, magnetic, and electric energy. Physics problems kept the small class busy punching calcula- tors and trying to keep up with the assignment sched- ule. Science 27 Reading, Riting And Rhetoric Juniors also met a new cur- riculum addition, the popu- lar novel THE CHOCOLATE WAR, a study of conformity and its pressures on the in- dividual. Some juniors chose to take the business English course, Modern Communi- cations, with its emphasis on business letter writing, grammar review, and job opportunities . Mrs . Jacobs' English IV classes were interested in preparing for college and studied theme style, Speed Reading patterns , and clas- sic British Literature. ln an effort to expand communica- tion skills, the senior Eng- lish students read and evalu- ated the paragraphs of freshmen students, offering suggestions and questioning writing that was unclear in meaning or purpose.

Mr. Harkins thought the next text was an improvement over the previous series. This text is geared more to a high school level and it also has a greater saturation of Span- ish. Spanish ll students continued with the ALM textbook se- ries . They learned to con- verse in tenses of Spanish as well as expanding their vo- cabulary. Spanish Ill class met on Mondays and Wednesdays . The third year students ac- complished the remaining tenses and specialized in short stories. The Seniors reviewed ad- vanced grammar and read novels on Tuesdays and Thursdays .

I is a course de- signed mainly to give fresh- men students an overall con- cept of agriculture. In Ag. ll, students also receive more of a basic type training by studying such things as livestock, crops, soils, re- cords, and feed rations . Ag. Ill-IV goes into the manage- ment of a farm, along with its business aspects . This course for juniors and sen- iors deals with such things as taxes, farm records, and farm insurance. Another course offered is the small engines and metals class . Much shopwork and practical experience is acquired in this course. Basic Horticul- ture is also offered, giving students the opportunity to learn about vegetables , trees, flowers and flower arrangements, and other modern horticultural issues . Mr. Avery is the Industrial Arts instructor and teaches two phases of it. ln Industri- al Arts I, students work with electrical wiring, blueprint- ing, drafting, and wood- working. Industrial Arts Il strives mainly to give stu- dents a background in house wiring, advanced drafting and woodworking, and sheet metal work. Sophomore boys work individually on their lndustria Arts projects. JI , 5. -. -. , 1.-f I' xv -. 3 Q : ,fl Q . X. u. 'w .

Most of the classes, which were de- signed to give the student a basic knowledge of business, also served as a preparatory course for those going on to college or entering the busi- ness field. Typing I students, after learning the keyboard, con- tinued to build their speed. Typing Il, a continuation of Typing I, dealt with higher standards and more compli- cated production work. Marsha Fults, Typing Il student, straightens her papers before handing in her production work. Accounting students read and answer quesiions from their books . Another business course of- fered was that of Shorthand. In Shorthand I, the students learned the alphabet and took letters which they tran- scribed on the typewriter. Shorthand II students exper- ienced longer letters and achieved higher speeds in their timed writings . General Business was a ba- sic economics course which taught the students such fun- damentals as personal fi- nance , credit , insurance , and checking. The Accounting course was a bookkeeping cycle for ser- vice and merchandising business . Not only did the class stress assets and lia- bilities, but also computing net incomes . w.

Among these courses were two re- quired classes, Consumer Economics and American History, and five electives. juniors were required to en- roll in American History to study the Illinois and U.S. constitutions . In order to obtain a more worldly view, World History and World Geography were also of- fered. Psychology, Sociology, and Consumer Economics were only one semester courses. While Psychology students studied personality develop- ment and Freudian theories , Sociology students went into social development. Students in Consumer Economics were required to write a 3000 word theme dealing with the understanding of ba- sic economy at the end of the semester. In World Affairs , students 36 Social Studies World History students listen atten- tively as Mr. Jacobs lectures.

Even the correct way to fur- nish a home was covered in Mrs. Baldwin's Home Fur- nishings course. Foods class dealt with the skills of garnishing, mixing, baking and storing many foods and involved some in- class cooking. Perhaps the most important class, Family Living, was full of practical but neces- sary knowledge about basic psychology, buying a home, and preparing a meal, to name only a few. Home Bc. -Family Living 39 The Artists And The Articulate Mr. Smith presented an in- teresting range of activities to his Art classes. The stu- dents had the opportunity to cultivate their creativity by mastering basic drawing, metal smithing, water col- ors and charcoal sketching. The highlight of the year was a field trip that was taken to view and study the works of some famous artists. Speech was a required six- week unit for every sopho- more student. The primary purpose of the course was the need for each person to be able to communicate both orally and visually with his peers . Juniors and seniors could refine their speaking by tak- ing Advanced Speech. They studied the theatre, acting I n and play production. One of their projects involved the writing and production of their own play. Dan Csterhous assists Kelly Norton at the throw wheel .

Mike Ball looks for an open receiver. From Parallel Parking To Modern Dancing A new concept in the P. E . department based on a wider range of activities for the student seems to have been a success. The students still participated in flag football, basketball and trackg but frisbee games, deck tennis and new dances were incor- porated into the current cur- riculum. The system devel- oped new skills and at the same time provided a change of pace for the students . Driver's Ed. remained one of the few routine courses in the school. Between the bang-up parallel parking jobs and the somewhat down- beat experience of riding with students encountering their first icy driving day, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Woods found time to instruct the students in the do and don'ts of the automobile world.

L ln the past few years the Watseka High School March- ing Warriors began to devel- op and stress the marching season. Marching season was taken quite seriously by all members . Many long, hot hours were put in per- fecting maneuvers , march- ing, precision, and music. All of the enthusiasm and determination to be better than ever showed up in first place finishes in Danville, Forestview, and parade competitionsg and second places and third places in Crystal Lake and Hoffman Estates . The Band owed a large part of their success to Mr. John Magon, the Rifle Instructor. john designed the whole show, instructed rifles, and helped the whole Band in marching precision. He was formerly of Rock Falls , Illi- nois and used to march with the Kilties . The highlight of the summer was a week-long trip to Tra- verse City, Michigan. There, the Marching War- riors received a second in field competition and a fourth over-all at Reed City. Carol Ziegler and john Magon observe rifle tryouts for grade-schoolers and offer helpful hints . The trip was enjoyed by all leaving many with some unforgettable memo- ries . The highlight of the whole year though was the First Annual Invitational Wat- seka Warriors Marching Band Contest. Ten bands from the Midwest came on October lst to compete. Conant High School from Hoffman Estates won the contest. Everyone deemed the contest a success both financially and enjoyment wise. Mr. john Magon - Rifle Instructor Band 51 There Will Be Early Bird In The Morning l For . . . The choral department re- mained very active. Choral members competed in the annual Solo and Ensemble Contest and exhibited their talents for a local Solo and Ensemble Concert. Boy's Glee Club, Girl's Glee Club, and Mixed Choir participated in the Organization Contest. Swing Choir and Mixed Choir performed at the Christmas Concert, while Madrigals and Swing Choir performed at the Spring Concert. All groups performed for club meetings around the county. The main attraction of the choral department this year was the Swing Choir. lt was increased from sixteen to twenty singers and the back- up group was also increased from three to ten players . These additions gave the group a totally new and en- joyable sound. The members would have gone to Madison, Wisconsin for a contest, had it not been for the weather. The group competed at the Oak Lawn Jazz Festival, held in Oak Lawn, Ill. The Choral Department was also proud to announce that three students-Kathleen Dooley, Cheryl Littlefield, and Bruce I-Ieuton were all elected to All-State Choir. These three students, along with Mr. Toalson, attended a two day clinic in Chicago at the Conrad Hilton. 52 Choir GIRLS GLEE CLUB U- FIRST ROW - Becky Zbinden, Kathleen Dooley, Margo Arends, Sara Sever, Davxm Donaldson, Missy Mason, Lynara Looker, Norma Souligny, Lynelle Looker.

The care and handling of books in the Library is very important. These are two of the duties that the thirty stu- dents undertook when they joined the Library Club. Each member had duties to perform in the Library but their time wasn't always spent in work. A Halloween Party, a dance, and a Facul- ty Tea were all also plarmed. Just as the care and handling of books is important - so is the application of books to learning. SAE members journeyed to several of the grade schools to help student teach during the day. They helped both individuals with special problems and whole classes at a time. Their ex- periences were to help them to be better teachers .

' Mr. Smith Emphasing the importance of creative expression, the Art Club united into a group of twenty-five individual minds producing a useful result. This result was seen at Christmas in the form of painted decorations on the Windows of the Iroquois Residence Home. The club also took trips to examine art pieces in Watseka's old courthouse and in the Chica- go Museum of Contemporary Art. President Dawn Donaldson believed Art Club has been one of the smallest clubs in the school, but yet its mem- bers have created an impor- tance that no other clubs can achieve: creativity in the small. Another member of the club, Barb Geddes , looked at the club in a broader sense: Art is a Way to see into the mind. While members of the Art Club looked into the mind, members of the Dramatics Club gave an acting inter- pertation of the thoughts of the mind. ln the fall, the Dramatics Club presented Hansel and Gretel to the public in a participation the- ater. The club entered a float, using scenery made for Hansel and Gretel , in the Christmas Parade. Early in January, six repre- sentatives Were sent from the club to the Illinois High School Drama Convention.

Making School Life A Bit More Enjoyable Members of this year's Stu- dent Council diligently served the student body this year by running the book store, organizing Homecom- ing, helping the Red Cross, and decking the halls with Christmas decorations . ln addition to these usual services, the Council opened new doors in its attempts to enrich WCHS .

To raise money, the club sold school activity calendars in Septem- ber. On November 15, the group went to Rosary College in River For- est, Illinois, to see jose Creco, the world famous flamenco dancer. An- other highlight of the year was the Christmas fiesta which featured the traditional pinata breaking and Span- ish food. All students who earned a varsity let- ter were eligible for membership into W Club. For the first year, a number of girls, nearly twenty, actively par- ticipated in the club. Due to the in- crease in membership, the W Club once more survived through another year.

But in the long run the valuable experience gained through the athletic competi- tion proves to be the ulti- mate mark of success, a success that every team ob- tained this past year. Warriorettes re Well Represented In addition to breaking ten school records, the girls' track team also sent two members into state competi- tion. Both of these girls came back as winners in their respective events . Kendra German, who won in the shot put competition with a throw of 42 feet and 5 M inches, said, After work- ing for seven years , it means a lot when you do win. The second state contender, Patty Carrell, won her event, but also set a national record with a time of 10:41 .3 in the two mile run. The team was well repre- sented, placing 3rd in the conference, 2nd in the dis- trict and 5th at the state lev- el. Competition is close behind as Patty Can-ell completes the third lap of her successful two-mile State run. 76 Girls Track 1,-ig.Y'5K?q 3' . r V, .f ' fl? I b. K I J W A ston 64 qmara 41 V2 5 .

Having lost a couple of strong players early in the season, the tennis team had to resort to first year members to fill their spots. Also, with a shortage of players, many members of the team doubled up, playing both doubles and singles during meets. However, the team overcame its difficul- ties and ended the season with 4-5 record. The volleyball team, which started out with eighteen members and ended the sea- son with thirteen, also ex- perienced a shortage of players . This evidently pre- sented no problem for the remaining members, as they finished the season with a 15-4 record. Patty Hauck and Colleen Dearth set up for a spike attempt. Tennis - Volleyball 79 Initial Season Successful Replacing bowling as a girls interscholastic sport, the first girls' basketball teams at the Watseka High School ended their season with a 4- 5 varsity record and a 3-5 jayvee record. An enthusi- astic group of around 25 girls tried out for the team, but only eight girls were picked for the varsity squad and nine for the jayvee team. Coached by Mrs. Bar- bara Redeker, the teams gained experience to be uti- lized in the future. Only six seniors graduated so there will be ten underclassmen returning from both squads . Mrs. Redeker considers this as a building year and hopes next year brings more good luck.

Another highlight of the year was the 14-7 win over Georgetown, the first Homecoming victo- ry in three years. Overall, the Warriors finished the season with a 3-6 record.

Warriors exper- ienced a slow start but bounced back to win three out of their last four games and finish with a 3-6 record. Coach Tom Guinnee was pleased with the latter part of the season. The three wins indicated noticeable improvements not only in the ballplayers but also in the coaches' comprehension of the new system. For the first time the j.V. ran the option and as the season progressed they be- came familiar with the new offense as well as a different defense. Despite their record, the fast finish indicated that the Warriors have already started the climb to winning varsity careers. Before the ball is hiked, the sopho- mores prepare for the upcoming play. 88 IV Football After a run by Mark Norris, the War- riors are credited with a first down.

Both coaches, Mr. Charles Peabody and Mr. Scott McBride felt that a fast start may have tired out the first- year players .

Money making projects , practices , and other special involve- ment activities began early in the summer. Some of these included a car wash, a bake sale, and selling greet- ing cards. With school resuming, the cheerleaders picked up more responsibilities . They col- lected the proceeds from a new pop machine in the cafe- teria, held another car wash, and hosted a Sara Coventry party. With the money they made, the cheerleaders provided wa- ter-melon at a football prac- tice, had a chili supper for the football players , had a pizza burger supper for the basketball players , and bought candy and props for pep sessions. Homecoming of course was a 94 Cheerleaders big event. The halls were decorated and the cheer- leaders helped build school spirit during the week pre- ceding the big game. Post- ers, contests, and encour- aging words of support were just a few of the ways the cheerleaders added ex- tras to the excitement of Homecoming.

Coach Tom Strong felt that the 6-5 win-loss record posted by the baseball team was due mostly to the team's powerful hitting since the pitching was not up to pre- vious year's standards. Led by Tom Purgett, the golf team placed first in the Iro- quois lnvitational and fin- ished third in the conference meet. In Coach Don Wene's last season as golf coach, five golfers lettered.

While the school board strived to make ends meet moneywise, they encoun- tered a major problem in fi- nancing the ever-increasing cost of transportation. Nev- ertheless , Unit 9 managed to stay above water, and at the same time, maintained high standards of education. Mr. Dowling, who completed his Mr. Dowling goes over a problem brought to him by office assistant jo- lene Bamlund. eighth year as head princi- pal, was especially proud of the fact that three new teachers were hired despite financial difficulties exper- ienced by nearly all school systems. For another aspect of this quality education Mr. Dowling emphasized was how well the IACC met the needs of the non-college-bound graduates of WCHS.

Nev- ertheless, each morning before school, our four cooks busily prepared over two hundred regular lunches and almost eighty a la carte sandwiches . just as the cooks provided us with food, our two counselors Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Martin, performed such duties as enrolling new students, helping stu- dents enroll in college, making out schedules and changing the old ones. Janitors provided services in their own special way. They provided us with a clean and safe school by performing such duties as sweeping floors , changing lights , and wiping off lunch tables - services that helped us all.

They will always remember the teachers, classes, bor- ing study halls, and the Fri- day night road parties . Dur- ing the past four years the seniors have gone through a lot together. They can re- member as freshmen, how scared they were finally be- ing in high school and real- izing at the end of the year that the upperclassmen real- ly weren't that bad. They can recall as sophomores , dissecting frogs in Biology and finally getting their driver's license. The high- lights for the junior year were getting their class rings and slaying away all 4'-i , ..i'.t.f .- 1 5 3.51 'X Q . L. . i:r.N' A - E... -s 4 xe . slix. ' - xt .luv I . J ' 'J F' . I 4 1 L I year, so they could say their prom was the best. The last year of high school the sen- iors had the best times. They can remember waiting until the last week to write their research papers for English and telling the freshmen they were going to get it at initiation. They will always remember skip days and when senioritis finally hit. Looking back over the past four years the seniors can really say that they had a great time. Now, as they prepare for college and going out on their own, they will always have many fond memories of their high school days to cheer them up if they ever feel down. .V TN' is -. i A ,tI.

Remember having to memo- rize the first 18 lines of the Prologue to Chauceafs Can- terhury Tales? And looking at the test on Chaucer and thinking, Oh my gosh I will never get through this!'? ? Steve Ball broke his ankle in a foot- ball game against I-lex-scher. 5:52 136 Seniors Remembrances Of Unfortunately for many girls, such as Tracey Sandness pictured above , there was no Bowling team this year. College night is a big help to many s juniors and seniors deciding what to do after high school. Here Bill Weger Remember when the whole town got upset about our Prom theme so we had to change it? Tom Purgett and the rest of the Golf team made use of the Shewami Golf Course for both practices and regular games. N Times Gone By Remember when the Home- coming slogans written on the sidewalk in shoepolish were supposed to come off in the first rain?
