Winchester High School - Wildcat Yearbook (Winchester, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1979 volume:

High School Presents The Wildcat Of 1979 Winchester, Illinois Dedication Mr. Hilliard is the only one of our sponsors who has been with us for four years. He has helped with everything we have done, and has always been there when we needed him. He helped most on the floats. He always threw in some of his jokes, but we kept going anyway. We are pleased to dedicate the 1979 Wildcat to Mr. Carroll Hilliard. — the seniors e . - Jim Berry, Advertising Manager We Put It All Together Below: EDITORIAL AND LAYOUT STAFF. Standing: Kevin Evans, Tom Peterson (chief photographer). Sitting: Jon Hub-bert, Linda Crawford, Carolyn Dolen, Chris Jefferson. On floor: Tracey Day, Sherri Howard. Publishing a yearbook is a year-long project. Starting in September, the staff first decides on the length of the book and on how much color will be used (both of these depend mostly on how hard the money-making ad staff is willing to work). They decide on the cover, the end-sheets, the type and the headline style. Then the editor, assisted by the layout staff, makes a diagram to show where everything will be. The chief photographer sets up a schedule with the photographer, checking first with the major organizations for convenient times. After the pictures are taken and the rightprints chosen from the contact sheets, a layout diagram of each page is made, first on a planner sheet and then on a 3-R sheet; copy is typed on the 3-R sheet or on a copy sheet, and everything is checked carefully and mailed to Topeka. Proofs come back, are checked and returned, and the whole thing gets printed. Somewhere along the line, the staff and the sponsor must acquire snapshots of as many people and as many activities as possible, make decisions about dedications, etc., persuade faculty and students to turn in information, take orders and money for the books, and — very important and very time-consuming — SELL ADS and keep careful records. The staff looks forward to August, when the book comes out, and hopes the finished product will be worth it all. Below, left: ADVERTISING STAFF.

Steve Moore, Editor-in-Chief 40tC f -V ■ V- r- The seniors remember Gary — He was funny all the time ... he would just walk up and stand by you and say something in a quiet voice and make you laugh ... he was always telling jokes. Remember the one about the boy taking a rocket to the sun? ... he would tell them very fast, and then just smile ... he liked to listen to C. W. McCall, and sang songs like that ... he had lots of friends ... he was a friend himself, a good friend ... not a fair-weather friend ... he was always the first to offer to help when you needed It ... he was just nice ... wherever Gary was, that's where everybody was ... when he was quiet, he blended in with the crowd, but when he was talking he stood out ... he never had any enemies ... you can't help missing him ... Words can't always explain The things we feel And try to say. When God comes — Timing may not seem right, But oh, our Lord Watches over his chosen ones. 4 — Chris Jefferson Honors And Awards TOP TEN STUDENTS Bill Ballard Lisa Coon Julie Coultas Elaine Drummond Allison Hainsfurther Judi McLaughlin Carolyn Moore Mark Ryan Mark Sires Rodney Sturgeon SOROPTIMIST AWARD Randy Long VALEDICTORIAN Allison Hainsfurther SALUTATORIAN Judi McLaughlin D.A.R.

Participating throughout the season were two seniors, three juniors, five sophomores, and nine freshmen. Because there were so few upperclassmen and because other track programs in the area were not strong, all nineteen athletes were able to letter in varsity competition. W.H.S. possessed one outstanding performer in the person of Randy Long, a shot-putter of formidable appearance and even more formidable skill. The loss of such a performer will not be easy to overcome, but with the aid of some promising underclassmen, the team is looking forward to improving on this year's dual competition record of 2-2 and to improving its third-place finish in the conference. 81 Flying high (Bruce Reid) And Now, A Word From The Sponsor The cheerleaders did an outstanding job this year. They displayed enthusiasm and pep, and supported the Wildcats through their ups and downs. The Junior Varsity excelled with their routine to the song Best of my Love and won the Best Cheerleading Trophy at the Beardstown Sophomore Tournament. The Junior Varsity and Varsity squads showed they had rhythm when they performed a dance routine to the disco song, Flashlight. Co-operation and humor were dominant at practice and at games.

Through a class called Co-op it can be made easier. We learn the important things about holding a job, and also about leadership. We work part of the day, usually different hours for each student, and we go to our classes the other part. Taking classes that correspond with our work is helping us to improve our performance on the job. Getting a job now is helping us all to prepare for the future. .

I Shhhhhhh I In addition to their other duties, the student librarians have found Time to do Good Housekeeping chores. These American Girls, most of whom are Seventeen, can often be found writing in their Journals for senior English. These Seniors are very Scholastic. During the noon hour the Readers' Digest their lunch in study hall while trying to find out what's News (this) week from their Friends. Even Saturday Evenings these dedicated Sports are at their Posts despite the National Wildlife. On the future Horizon these ladies who have become Creative in their Crafts will be Popular (with) Mechanics as well as Popular (with) Science-tists. This Cycle goes on and on while those Successful Farm(ers) are Rolling Stones in their Outdoor Life. And all this happens in a Woman's Day or a Boy's Life. Librarians.

The Auto Mechanics Club sponsored the Club Basketball Tournament this year, and won first place in both the championship and consolation brackets of the ITC Volleyball Tournament. Members were busier than ever; engine overhauls and body work were unusually popular. The Industrial Technology Club is open to any student enrolled in woods, drafting, or building trades. It sponsors the annual W.H.S. Club Volleyball Tournament, which was established to help more clubs to be active and to give every student a chance to take part in sports. The club takes many field trips, makes money with car washes and with a concession stand at the freshman basketball games, and holds a cookout with the Auto Mechanics Club and FFA at the end of the year.
