1987-1988 The Best Of Both Worlds The best of Both Worlds includes Academics and Athletics. We here at Westville feel that we offer the best academics and very competitive athletics. We also have some competitive academics. This year was the first year we had a scholastic bowl team. The team practiced long hours after school and did well at competitions. Rich DeBarba did especially well, answering the most questions at many meets. Another important academic event is the ACT testing. Juniors and Seniors gather to take this three hour long test. Many people take this test more than once. Two seniors did very well on this test, and they only took it once. Doug Lawlyes and Rich DeBarba both scored a 28 on their tests. As a result of his test score. Rich DeBarba was named on Illinois State Scholar. This year marked the beginning and the end of some teachers. Math teacher James Ratcliff retired this year after many years of good service. Westville also added six new teachers to the staff. The new teachers are Claudia Carter. Denis Fisher. Darlene Henry. Jeffery Millis. Joyce Pishkur, and Charla Quartier. We hope these teachers enjoy their teach- ing experience at W.H.S. The Athletics include. Cross-Country, Football, Golf. Volleyball. Girls Basketball. Boys Basketball, Wrestling. Boys and Girls Track. Girls Softball, and Boys Baseball. Some of the athletic teams at Westville did especially well this year. The volleyball team won their regional for the second year in a row. Several members of the team gained All-County and All-Conference honors. The team made up of Juniors and underclassman, so next year looks to be very promising. The team was coached by Joyce Pishkur. The wrestling team claimed the ICC Conference Championship at Bismark, and had an impressive winning record. The team sent Skot Balsamello and John Stricklett to the state meet. The Cross-Country team sent senior Brian Towell to state for the second year, while the Girls Basketball team won the Consolation Championship in the County Tournament held at Westville. Congratulations to all teams at Westville for a fine season.
