SUMMER SINGES CU Work , play and romance were the major components of one of the hottest summers in Champaign ' s history The traditional attraction of more work , more money was definitely enhanced in the summer of ' 80 by the fact that most jobs were in air-conditioned buildings. A majority of playtime was spent at a swimming pool trying to cool off, and as for romance and the heat . . . most students were unwilling to comment.

Students who worked held jobs at fast food jomts, ice cream parlors, restaurants and retail stores .

"Working at Baskin-Robbins to make money for college " was

what occup ied Kelly LeGrande ' s summer. Andrea Wedig was " glad to have the chance to learn about the world of work."

For those who didn' t work, doing as little as possible was the order of the day . Molly Fairfield spent her summer at Lake Clinton "waterskiing , swimming and partying around ." Molly Vaughn killed time with " my best buddy, W .W ." Susan Muirheid spent her summer at the pool while julie Schneider tried to think of ways to pay back loans from her mother .

But work or no work , everyone seemed to agree that school time came too quickly .

WORKING PAYS OFF How did the average Central student beat the high cost of living 1t up this summer? The answer was by finding a JOb Follow1ng the trend of months and years past, inflation rose 1.8 between the months of june and August. Sporting the names Calvin Klein or Gloria Vanderbilt on any part of the body was an Increasingly expensive proposition. Also, the cost of eating out made students appreciate a home-cooked meal, although go1ng out with friends sans Mom and Dad was still necessary from t1me to t1me. These factors led students to seek Jobs One of the principle reasons for getting a job was to make money; but most students found that there was more to be gained than just the

knowledge of a cash register or dishwasher. Students agreed that working taught them how to handle responsibilities and how to get along with bosses, co-workers and customers .

"You don't know what it's all about until you've worked at a job where you meet the public," commented Andrea Wed1g Sen1ors, especially , benefitted from work1ng . Their jobs provided much-needed funds for upcoming college expenses.

The benefits of work1ng were many. The most obvious was pocket money; others mcluded a padded savings account and increased mobility. But the members of the work force from Central were sure that the favorite benefit was finding out about parties through the1r co-workers.

If the combination is right, working at Wendy's can be fun . Natalie Tomaras, Angie Bennett and Julie Brown seem to hit it off as well as a triple burger, fries and a Frosty Dairy Delight.

One of the "thirty-one-derful" flavors at BaskinRobbins 1n lincolnshire Center IS the scoop on Carmel Corbett.

COMPUTERS AID A-Z Summer came and went as quickly as a Papa D el's pizza after a movie, and before anyone could say , " School' s out !" registration time was here again . Despite the fact that registration seemed to come too quickly for Central students, everything went quite smoothly . Mrs . Holliday , who was in charge of late registration in the Main Office , commented , " I thought that registration went unusually well this year . It didn't seem to be as rushed as last year ." There were a lot of late registrations but they didn' t cause any serious problems according to the administration .

Many freshmen came to registration with their parents . The results of a Maroon questionnaire distributed at r eg istration indicated that the new students had only a few apprehensions about the coming year as compared to the loads of excitement they were anticipating . The majority of

those who filled out the questionnaire said that they were looking forward to meeting new people .

Upperclassmen were just as eager about the approaching year. Several senior girls left registration shouting, "We' re going to make this year the best one yet! " It seemed that registration served to point to two inescapable facts . The first one was that freshmen come to Central with a sense of cross-town competition already instilled in them .

The second was that even registration was not too early to revive the traditional rivalries involved in being a Maroon . As Freshman Jodi Matthis put it, "I' m happy about going to Central. It sure beats Centennial. " " I' m very anxious to start school here because Central is the only Champaign High."

MAD IX MIGRATES SOUTH Amid the "Hi! How was your summer?" and "What a drag! " of registration, there was one student definitely different from everyone else there. Instead of playing tennis, swimming or sunbathing, this senior spent his summer in Mexico as Central's Foreign Exchange Student.

His experiences ranged from eating pig's skin to visiting Temascaltepec (and learning how to spell it). Who was this unique Centralite? Mike Madix was the name. . . . And learning about Mexican culture was the game . When applying for the trip, Madix hoped only that it would be a learning experience . "I knew that it would probably be the only chance that I would have to travel outside the United States, and I wanted to improve my Spanish . I felt that the only way to really learn a language was to experience it first-hand," he commented .

On june 28, Madix packed his bags and left for his destination.

Shortly afterwards, he arrived at his two-month home in Echegaray and met his summer family - a new

brother, sister, mother and father .

Madix was surprised to see that he not only got a new family but also a maid . "I had a real hard time getting used to asking the maid to do things for me," said Madix.

The first three weeks, Madix spoke mostly English (his Mexican brother and sister were fluent in English), but then he got into the swing of Mexican life and began speaking "Espanol." Attending a summer school with his Mexican brother for two weeks helped him meet a lot of new people. "The trip was a beautiful experience ."

Madix remarked . What didn't he like about Mexico? "Mexicans are late for everything." jokingly, Madix continued, " That's why they drive so fast; they're always in a hurry."

The trip, sponsored jointly by the Foreign Exchange Club and the Spanish Club, helped Madix determine some of his future plans . He intends to major in Spanish in college. Then, after graduation, Madix plans to move to Mexico and become an interpreter.

Madix does admit that he missed

CATCH THAT SPIRIT

A twist and a flip add the final touches to Bonnie Clark ' s preparations for " Into the Night."

Anticipation . Excitement. Spirit. Homecoming 1980. To build anticipation, two new dress-up days were added to the week of pre-game festivities, days which showed society's effect on students. The first of these was Prep Day. Students wearing Oxfords, lzods, monogrammed sweaters and Top-siders were spotted around the school. In contrast to the conservative dress of Tuesday, wild colors, chains, safety-pin earrings and sultry sunglasses were unveiled on Punk Day. The Maroons closed the week with Western Day and the traditional Maroon & White/ Hats Off Day. The night preceding the game, Maroon fans united at McKinley Field. Every enthusiast who attended the Bonfire felt an underlying current of electricity. Matt Taylor's perception of his first bonfire was, " It's a great feeling seeing everybody together to fire up the team."

On the day of the game, students judged floats . The Junior Class received First Place followed by the Sophomores, Seniors and Freshmen. Highlighting the

Ro yal Court . Front Row )ill Sackett , Sue Jorgensen, Kris Gnff1th , Queen Kelly LeGrande , Junior Attendant Jod1e Overmeyer, Kim Hale, Sophomore Attendant Lesli Vermette,

events of the day were the cheering and stomping of the Homecoming Assembly , the announcement of the Homecoming Court, the class competitions and the Homecoming Parade.

7:30 p.m. Kick-off. Despite predictions that Central would lose, the team quickly proved the sportscasters wrong. The tension built steadily and with five minutes left to go, the fans were in a frenzy- non-stop screaming and cheering .

Seconds before time ran out, it was clear who was #1 . A caller to WOWS's Saturday Sports Line said it best: " Central deserves to be complimented . They played a great game but their fan support was outstanding." Spirit? You bet!

But the fun was not over. Central couples went " Into the Night" on Saturday , October 18, at University Inn .

tion process is carefully overseen by the Election Board, Central's equivalent to Election Judges.

Ronald Reagan, Fortieth Pre ident of the United State

REPUBLICANS RESIDE IN WHITEHOUSE ovember 4, 1980. History was made that would effect the whole world . In an election that pollsters deemed too close to call , Ronald Reagan won an overwhelming landslide victory over President jimmy Carter to become the fortieth president of the United States. President Reagan, who at sixty-nine was the oldest man ever elected to the office, triumphed over Carter with 489 electoral votes to Carter's 49 votes .

Early in the election campaign , Carter led the polls with 39°/o of the registered voters to Reagan' s 32 %. In the final days before the election, however , the two men came to within one percentage point of each other; Carter was told he would lose the election on the night before Election Day when his staff determined that he would lose the

" must-win " state of Ohio . Straw polls taken in U.S. History and Civics classes also predicted that Reagan would be the winner. Many people felt that the unresolved issue of the fifty-two American Embassy hostages being held in Iran had considerable impact on the outcome . The hostages ' release minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in served as the final insult to the man they had derided in demonstrations for the 444 days of the captivity.

Perhaps more important than the election itself was the institution that it represented- free citizens going to the polls to cast secret ballots for their candidates . At Central , there was an actual organization responsible for upholding the democratic ideals and practicalities of an election. This organization was called the

Election Board .

The Election Board was responsible for registering the students to vote; it ran the elections by publicizing them , collecting nominations and counting all the votes . Headed by Laura Pearson and Brenda McCabe, it set the requirements for the candidates and oversaw the election procedures .

A member of the Board , Kelly LeGrande, felt that the service performed by the memb rs was invaluable but she did see one problem . " There are no freshmen on the Board and every class really needs to be represented," she stated . " It is always difficult to get representation for the Freshman Class because of its lack of familiarity with election tradition at Central. "

Where can a student yell his head off and not have to go to Room 105? How about take off his clothes and not get arrested? Receive appreciative applause for efforts in various fields? Where is this Paradise, you say? Try an assembly in Combes Gym .

Homecoming Assembly was memorable for its class competition and the announcement of the Homecoming Float winners and the candidates for Homecoming Queen. Pep Assemblies were always a riot (nearly literally) when coaches , team members and cheerleaders made a concerted effort to enliven the crowd . Besides, who could forget wondering if anyone would fall off the cheerleaders' pyramid or making bets on who would turn the wrong way during the Peppettes' routine?

Honors Assemblies were definitely less rowdy but also served a purpose. The debate over whether to hold the assemblies during the day or in the evening when more parents could come continued, but for this year, the daytime scheduling won out.

Finally, the result of a poll taken to determine the most memorable event to occur in an assembly this year indicated that the overwhelming majority of students polled felt that Dr. Jack Ashenfelter's rendition of the cheer "Grr-r Fight!" at the Homecoming Assembly would be etched in their minds permanently.

THESPIANS: ''PLAYING'' AROUND What did Netl Simon and Mark Twain have in common? They were the authors that inspired drama director James L. Seay to produce the fall and winter comedies Barefoot in the Park by Simon and a Seay adaptation of a Twain work which Seay called The Man with a Million.

Barefoot in the Park was a clever and hilarious story of a newly-wed couple coping with life's ups and downs (in a sixth floor walk-up apartment) . Cassie Helgesen commented , " Probably the worst but funniest thing that happened during the show was when I opened the door and it came off the hinges. Bill Schumacher had to open it and close it back-stage all evening for the cast. " Cast members put in many hours of work, but a double casting by Seay relieved some of the responsibility . Each cast gave one performance on either November 13 or 14. Cast members included :

Corrie ... ..... .. ........ ....... .. ..... . Cassie Helgesen, Kris Bolton Paul ............. .... ........... .. ......... Ted Wolf, Jeff Helgesen Mother .... .. .. .. ... ............ ..... Nelly Nicholson, Lynn Spies

Victor Valasco ................. Brian Lindstrand, Bob May Telephon e Man .................... Rich Krahling, Bzll Schumacher Delivery Boy ...................... .. ..... Tunji Heath Many cast members from the fall play also acted in The Man with a Million.

The winter play had an abundance of characters; thus many students new to theatre made successful premieres. Lea Bradley said, " I thought everyone did a terrific job and seemed perfect for their parts." The play took about five weeks in rehearsal and played two nights, February 18 and 19. Bob May recalled a blooper in one of his performances: "I was pretty embarrassed when I hit the table accidentally and a wine bottle fell over and started chugging out a full bottle of water." Seniors Ted Wolf and Bill Schumacher highly recommended taking part in Central's extra-curricular drama activities . " We both agree that the shows are more for the actors than for the audience in that students learn the basics of theatre in a fun and comradely way."

CHEERS ADD EXCITEMENT TO GAMES Cheerleading was a lot more than shout1ng in front of rowdy students and risk1ng your life in gravity-defying leaps and muscle-building postures . It was practice every Tuesday and Thursday and locker decorations every week. " It was a lot of fun," said Captain Lisa Lyon . " The girls are loads of fun and real nice." Co-Captain Meg Foley reported, " I like showing my ability in sports, and cheerleading lets me jump around and scream ." " Preppies" for the Varsity squad also had much to say about the experience of leading the yells . Sophomore cheerleader Amy Bash felt that " it's a real good way to get involved in sports.

My sister was a cheerleader so it must be in my blood . I love it!" "I really love to cheer ," proclaimed freshman cheerleader Michelle Butler who hoped to move into the sophomore position next year.

All squads were involved in various fund-raising activities . The reasons for those activities varied from wanting to raise money for a group trip to the

need to alleviate the cost involved in purchasing uniforms.

Another group of crowd-rousers involved in such fund-raising activities as a car wash on a rainy day, a cowboy hat sale, a miniature pompom sale and a cotton candy addition to one of many bake sales was the Pepettes. " Get your whole body moving and start with your feet ... 2 ... 3 ... 4."

The Pepettes began with their feet and by the time half-time came around they were moving everything.

Chosen in the spring of the previous year, Pepettes practiced twice a week throughout the summer in preparation for the fall season and the four-day summer camp. At camp, they learned six routines which they modified for use through the school season. Anjana Mittra stated, " I feel that without going to camp , picking up and performing routines would have been difficult to learn ."

Pepettes practiced twice a day during the school year and sometimes at night when a competition was coming up.

Captain Sue Donaghy commented , " With out each girls' individual commitment to practicing the dances, the squad would never have made it to State. (The Pepettes placed second at Mt. Olive in the Pom-pom category which qualified them for State where they placed fourth in Dance and sixth in Pompom.) Julie Siders added, " For me, Pepettes was a gratifying experience because I learned not only how to perform and dance, but also how to get along with others and to work for the whole squads' goals."

Most of the girls especially enjoyed performing to the upbeat music. Songs such as " I'm Alive , " " If My Friends Could See Me Now," " Celebration," "Monster Mash," "I Love a Rainy Night," and "Twilight Zone" provided the proper background for learning, growing and dancing, all of which were high priority items for the Pepettes. Zoe Olefsky said, "I will always treasure my memories of Pepettes. The 1980-81 girls were super and they made my senior year all the more fun and meaningful."

STAFF PLEADS FOR MAROON SPIRIT "Yearbookability." That was how one Maroon editor phrased all aspects of formulatrng a yearbook. If an adjective had to be chosen for this year's group, it would have been "overworked and understaffed." The yearbook took much more than just a little trme, talent and patrence Jill Pruemer, Co-Editor, stated, "I wished that more students took an interest in the book . Sure, everyone loved to look at our pictures and everyone just about went rnto cardiac arrest when they found out that Senior Wills were deleted, but no one cared enough to join the staff so that they could have some say. This, to me, was a sad reality." She added, "I hope that next year's

Senior Class takes note, because, in effect, it will be 'their' book."

The book itself was a wonderous thing The rnitral cost was $10,475 and addrtional costs totalled $1,870 plus $1.70 per each error. These prices included the cover, endsheets, the literary supplement paper, the base prrce, the color and the rndex . The publishing company was Inter-Collegiate Press for the first time in several years. Mrs. Susan Weber, Sponsor, joked, "One of the main reasons we went with ICP was the fact that Mr. Zimmerman, our yearbook representative, lives in town and can get here quickly in case of disaster." The staff agreed that he was a tremendous

help in the production of the book.

The Maroon would not have been complete wrthout Roots Photographers. They gracrously furnished skrlled photographers and free development . In addition, the Maroon could not forget the super assistance of Mr . Clyde Smrth, photographer, Mr. Myron Ochs and his 5th hour Advanced Graphics class, and the ad hoc printers and photo developers who contributed throughout the year.

Without them, the book would have been just another yearbook.

Finally the photos which appear on these two pages are here for one of two reasons- either they were pictures which the staff felt should be printed but they fit in nowhere else in the book, or they are representative of the artistry of the Roots photographers. The moral to the story is: If you wanted to make yearbook policy, you should have joined the yearbook. See you next year?

CHS JOINS THE SOLAR SYSTEM pass1ve solar construction: n. a building method whereby a structure is placed on a lot 1n such a way as to max1mize sunlight for heatmg and shade for cooling

For the thirty-seventh year, building trades classes at Central and Centennial were constructing the Project House for Unit 4. For the first year, that project has been awarded a $1,000 grant from the Institute of Natural Resources to assist in the design and demonstration of solar homes in the state of Illinois. Unit 4 was one of only 17 such districts to receive the grant. The money was awarded with the understanding that it could be used for anything except the purchase of materials.

A truly unique and vocationally invaluable experience, the Project House has been built by the district for thirty seven straight years with the exception of two years during World War II when hog

houses were built due to the fact that war rationing made it impossible to get material for home construction . Since the advent of the two high schools, the architecture classes at the respective schools alternate in providing the building plan. Home Economics classes do the interior decorating. At the close of the school year, the home is either placed on auction or turned over to a realtor.

Profit or not, the building trades students say that no amount of money would be too much for the taxpayers to spend on such a co-operative effort . Bill Hyatt added, "The guy that really makes it all work is Mr . Pittman . I've probably learned more from him than anybody on earth!"

Since this year's home was 50% to 80°/o more energy efficient than standard homes built at this time, there was little doubt that, even at the present mortgage rate of 13-14°1o, there could be a

quick sale.

HOPS ARE NOT JUST FOR BREWING It was certainly no wonder that the tudent Council wasn 't too excited about sponsoring dance this year An overwhelming crowd of thirty students turned out for the only Sock Hop of the year which took place in the West Gym on January 30. The students who went reported that they enjoyed themselves even though the music was recorded .

Della McCulley said, "It was nice to see that some people still have school spirit and I hope more people take advantage of it next year."

Slightly more successful but still not standing-room-only was the Sadie Hawkins' Dance which was held on Valentine's Day in the West Gym.

THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS

/

Where does one begin to recount the many happenings over the past four years? The minute the seniors arrived as the first four-year class, memorable experiences began to accumulate.

Happenings as trivial as the fetal pig throwing were juxtaposed in each senior's memory alongside events of such national significance as the Iranian militants' takeover of the United States Embassy in Teheran.

The Class of '81 saw the nation through such milestones as Star Wars mania, the jonestown massacre, the Three-Mile Island radiation leak, the deaths of John Lennon and Pope John Paul I, the eruption of Mount St. Helens and the large sale of yellow ribbons due to the vigil and the ultimate welcomehome ceremonies for the 52 hostages held by Iranian militants for 444 days.

Other pertinent events which stuck in seniors' minds were the Olympic boycott, the creation of designer jeans and the victory of the U.S. Hockey team over the Russians in the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Two extremely popular questions which puzzled all Americans as well as Central seniors were: 1) Would "Reaganomics" change the course of the American way of life? and 2) Who shot ).R.?

On the home front, seniors were faced with the elimination of junk food from the cafeteria and disco fever which was highly contagious until it was wiped out by a counter-plague of Urban Cowboyism and the mechanical bull.

Even more school-related was the Trent Petrie lawsuit which involved Petrie's desire to play on the all-girl volleyball team since Central lacked a male squad.

Petrie lost his suit. The first four-year Centralites also encountered some restructuring of both the building and personnel.

For example, an the administrative change accompanied by a mandate to make provisions for the handicapped resulted in the elevation of Dr. jack Ashenfelter to the position of principal and a new elevator to do the elevating. The fondly-remembered (at least by the students) teachers' strike which produced a twelve-day vacation

in the fall of 1979 should not be overlooked; and the five hundredth varsity football ~ictory in the first game of the 1980 State Play-Offs gave the Class of '81 something to really cheer about as Central became the eighth school in the nation to reach that mark.

Finally, lest the seniors not forget how to speak to each other at the twentyfifth reunion, from the desk of the Class of '81 Maroon editors, a little dictionary of terms collected from four years in Central's hallowed halls.

PARENTS BECOME ''CAFFEINA TED'' Black? Cream? Sugar? In other words, how would you like your coffee? Dr jack Ashenfelter, the initiator of the program, Parent Coffee Break, preferred his black .

The Coffee Break program began in the spring of 1980 with monthly morning meetings. When asked what the purpose was, Ashenfelter stated, "for parents to have direct access to me in talking about their ideas and concerns, and to enable parents to observe and tour the school building while it is in operation." When the program resumed in September of this year, parents from all grade levels, even middle school, were present . Although attendance had tapered off by December, Ashenfelter reasoned that the decline was probably due to the fact that many parents worked at the time of the meetings and those who were interested and able had already visited. To accomodate working parents, he scheduled various times and days throughout the remainder of the year.

This was Ashenfelter's second year as a high school principal. He stated that one of his duties as principal was to increase communication between parents and administrators and he was hopeful that the Coffee Breaks would help him to accomplish that task . He stated that the program would continue for as long as there was parent interest and a need for it.

BUSINESS BUGGED BY BIGNESS Were you tired of sitting on the radiators instead of in a seat? Did you worry that you might flunk typing because it was the third week of class and you had not yet found a vacant typewriter? Were you the thirtyeighth person in a class with a classroom set of thirty-seven books? All of the above? The problem was called overcrowding It seemed that several years ago there was a demographic report done in this district which, in summary, found that a declining enrollment would soon toll the death of one of Champaign's two high schools. Due to unforseen circumstances (including redrawing of boundaries), Central did not have the luxury of dwindling class size . In fact, some of the problems were less than humorous.

Mrs. julie Sherwood reported that "the heavy use of thirty-six typewriters by thirty-seven students was extremely detrimental to the health of the typewriter." Little notes such as "dead," "freezes up," "no tabs," "makes a grinding noise when turned on," and "space indicator fell off into tab mechanism" were commonly found in room 213. All the notes referred to the malfunction of the typewriters .

''I'm sure glad that one person is absent today Otherwi e we'd never have the typ wnters nece ary to keep the cia s go1ng " Mrs. Julie herwood feels that certa1n departments suffer more

Another indicator of overcrowd "ng was the placement of certain classes into areas which formerly served as department offices. For the first two weeks of school, some advanced rhetoric students literally sat on the radiators in the class until another class was created to handle the overflow.

Certainly everyone was to be commended, the administration for

its willingness to work at alleviating the problem and the teachers for their flexibility. But perhaps those who deserved the greatest thanks were the students for the patience they exhibited throughout the crowded conditions. "Oh well," commented Della McCulley, one of the radiator-sitters, "anything unique like that just makes for more memories later on."

HUMOROUS HANNA TELLS TALES After seventeen years of teaching at Central , Mrs . Roberta Hanna moved to Washington at the end of the school year . Because it was her last year at Central, Hanna was asked to reflect upon her career and her thoughts about the future .

On the funniest thing that happened to her : "I had this student , Bob Shelby, who was just huge. In fact , he was a state champion heavyweight wrestler . This was in the late 60's and we used to guard the doors to keep the kids from escaping into the halls and causing trouble .

This kid decided he would put one over on me so, as big as he was, he crawled out the window . The joke was on him however because, although I didn't see him crawl out, it was such a tight squeeze it squished his wallet out of his pocket and he had to come back in to get his wallet back ."

Her biggest disappointment: "The failure of this district to receive the Experience-Based Career Education

grant. It was a sort of combmed academic / career program which I really believed in . I believe that universal education must move in that direction .

On the future: " I can't see us continuing in the same old classroom structure and managing to remain effective . There has to be a great change in education in order to meet the needs of all the people . It may be that there will be such a rise of private schools that the public school system will have to change to survive . As for myself, I have received a teaching certificate from the state of Washington and I hope to continue teaching, maybe at a junior college. I am also planning on becoming a grandmother soon ."

On the difference in students through the years : " In some ways students today are less provincial, that is, more worldly, which is not a very profound thing to say but then I' m not a guru , just a tired teacher. As I always tell my students, old teachers

never die; they just grade away ."

For her many years of dedication to teaching and to her students , Hanna deserved much more than a thank you . Wherever she and her wonderfully warm sense of humor go in the future , that place will be much richer for having her there.

There was a new face in the "deutsch" -speaking crowd at Central.

That same new face also appeared nightly at the swim practices at Centennial and in reading and freshman English classes. Mr. Bill Freyman was the man behind the face .

Freyman may have been new to Central but he was not new to the district. The list of schools in which he taught prior to coming to University Avenue included Centennial, Franklin and Edison . When questioned about his newest assignment, he commented, "I like Central a lot. I like the adult atmosphere and the administration's relationship with the teachers." Freyman also stated that he appreciated the way that most of the students seemed to take learning and studying seriously .

Despite his full teaching schedule of

German, English and Assistant Swim Coach, Freyman still had time to assist Mrs . Lottie Nast with the German Club and he was a member of the ational Honor Society Committee. He said that his hobbies included chamber music and carpentry .

Freyman was one of ten new teachers in the building this year . Joining him in the role of new to the building but not the district were Ms. Joan Murphy, English; Ms . Pat Johnson, English and Special Education; Mrs . Karen McKenzie, Social Studies; Miss Debra Abderhalden, Math; Miss Julie Grego, Health; Mr. Doug Rosenbaum, Holding Room Supervisor; and Mr .

WARD-WORKING WHILE RETIRED Mrs . Jean Ward could do two things for you : teach you health and sell your house . There were several teachers at Central who maintained two careers but Ward was unique in one aspect. Last year she taught two sections of health , sold real estate, and worked on her PhD . at the University of Illinois. Mrs . Ward was definitely busy .

Ward's background was almost as varied as her present activities . She was born in Montana, went to grade and high school in Chicago and began her academic career in pre-med at

the University of Illinois. After receiving her B.S., she decided she would rather teach so she got her MA at the University of Wisconsin . Her teaching career began at West Virginia University and several years later she ended up in Champaign .

With as many experiences as Ward has had, her answer to the question "What do you think of the students at Central? " was very complimentary .

She replied, "I get along well with all the students and feel that they only get better as every year passes ."

OCHS IS MUL Tl-TALENTED MAN " If I want to shoot someone from three feet , what F- top do I use? " " Do you guys want to P.M .T. these right or are we going to let ourselves be sued? " Was this Central ' s new firearms class? Law-focused education? No , these were typical questions asked of Mr . Myron Ochs , local supplier of printed matter for school and district functions . This year, however, in addition to his usual assignment of teacher of photography, graphics, printing, general metal and general machines, he voluntarily took on the responsibility of graphics advisor to the yearbook . To many people this may

have seemed like a small responsibility , but when one realized that , in addition to his teaching schedule, his classes printed all tickets, letterheads, return envelopes , advertising and posters for Unit 4, it was easy to see that Ochs' dedication to his job and Central deserved special recognition .

WOOLEY DOES WEALTH OF WORK There was definitely an identity problem at Central for teachers who tried to teach more than one subject.

A typical manifestation of that problem was the following situation . A freshman had Mr. Richard Wooley for math and later that day , was surprised to see him again , only this time in P.E. The next day, the student asked Wooley, " Are you a real math teacher? " to which Wooley replied , "No, I' m make believe ."

Mr . Wooley became a 3 / 5 time math teacher this year. He reported that he was enjoying his new assignment very much . " Ever since high school , math has been my favorite subject. I've always had good teach-

ers in math which probably also influenced my decision to minor in the subject," Wooley reflected .

Wooley was one of five teachers in the building who taught in more than one department. The concensus among those teachers revealed that they all enjoyed teaching students in different subject areas but wished that they had a place to call their own since teaching different subjects meant carting their personal belongings to each subject area on the average of three times a day . So , what was a make-believe teacher without a home? A teacher who taught more than one subject , of course .

Many people thought of teaching as a seasonal occupation . . . teach nine months and then do something else for the summer. For some people at Central , teaching was one of two jobs that they did year-round . Mr .

Clyde Smith was one of those people .

Smith was a chemistry teacher .

Smith was also a professional photographer . In addition to wedding and portrait-type photography, Smith enjoyed nature photography . " I take pictures of birds and other wildlife," he said . "An especially good time of the year for this type of picture is in the spring and summer but it takes a lot of patience . Animals don't stand still just because you're taking their picture . It is especially difficult because you must move around to get the best angle and many animals are scared by movement. " A good combination of Smith's two careers were the pictures he took at school functions such as the pictures of the Homecoming Bonfire . When asked which career he preferred , Smith didn' t hestitate . " I enjoy teaching more than photography," he replied emphatically .

ROSENBAUM RELIEVES RUCKUS Why was Mr . Doug Rosenbaum, Supervisor of Room 105, included on the Social Studies' page? Because social studies is the study of human beings and their cultural behaviors and one of the key problems that Rosenbaum faced as a first year teacher was how to deal with cultural behaviors when they became counterproductive, or anti-social as some might say. Said Rosenbaum, "This year, I learned what the word patience means . Any type of sitting, especially this type, gives you a real inMr. Doug Ro enbaum: Holding Room upervisor, A 1stant Track Coach, Assistant Wrestling Coach lllino1s Wesleyan Umver 1ty.

sight into kids . You can only get a real handle on them if you learn what the word patience really means."

Relating to students when they had been sent out of class for misbehaving was not an easy task, especially since many of them were emotionally upset upon arrival in 105. In order to calm them down and help them to reflect on what had happened, Rosenbaum tried to find magazines or books that related to each student This plan must have worked because the only sound emanating from 105 this year was silence.

Did you ever wonder what Central would be like five, ten or even twenty years from now? There were some teachers in the building who came back to find out first-hand . Among them was Miss Tina Demeris, a 1974 graduate of Central who returned this year as a first-year teacher of the learning disabled .

Demeris reported that Central had not changed since her graduation . he did, however, feel that being on the " other side" was an interesting experience . Some of the other teachers who graduated from Central reported some differences. Coach Gene Ward (' 49) graduated from Champaign High when it was housed at what is now known as Edison . Coach Karon Rasmussen ('60), Mr. Fred Schooley ('59), Coach Jeff Trigger ('65), and Mrs. Susan Weber ('65) graduated from Central when it was the only high school

in Champaign and was called Champaign High School. Trigger and Weber can remember that the school was so crowded that there were " one-way stairs." That situation was alleviated somewhat with the addition their junior year (1964) of the " Annex," as Centennial High School was then called . Coach ancy Paterson ('72), who was Max Maroon during her high school career, commented that one of the major differences she noticed was co-ed P.E. classes . With the exception of Ward, most of the graduates noted that many of the faculty were teachers here when they were students .

If Demeris and the other teachers who graduated from Central had one thing in common, it was Maroon spirit . They all felt that graduating from the school gave them the inside track on pride in being a Maroon.

FACULTY FILL-INS FURNISH AID Who were those overlooked, overworked and underpaid people who braved the rubber bands and paper wads just to teach someone else's lesson? Who else but the "subs."

On the average there were four substitute teachers in the building each day . They all reported that they enjoyed Central but they especially enjoyed it when they got to come back to a class in which they had substituted before. They felt that classroom management was definitely easier when they knew the names of some of the students. They also reported that there were no new tricks- only new faces behind the tricks; so, if you thought you put something over on a "sub," think again .

Another worker in the building under a program which just began this year was definitely underpaid. In fact, she worked for free. Mrs. Anne Gibbons worked in the library as a volunteer library assistant. She said she did "whatever needed to be done, from typing to filing." She also re-

ported that she found out about a need for volunteers through the parent news letter and that she felt it had been a "real positive experience." Mrs . Cindy Jakie, Librarian , said that she would like to see the volunteer program expanded. She felt that, in addition to Dr. Ashenfelter's Coffee Break, the volunteer program was a good way for the public to get involved with school life and, in that way, have a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Central.

A familiar face to many, Mrs Helen Murrell replaces Mrs Cathy Thurston for a day Due to the shortage of substitutes 1n the dlstnct. some ub t1tutes are JU t as fam1har to students as regular classroom teachers.

FUTURES MARKET UP Concern about future occupations and preparations for a career in the not too distant future led some students to clubs which dealt with those concerns . F A , 00, FFA, and FHAHERO provided counseling and supportive assistance to career-minded Centralites .

Have you ever wondered what it was like to serve the business community? The Future Secretary's Association introduced students to that "executive feeling " Each month the club had a different speaker come to it's monthly meetings . Club members also went on field trips and tours; they financed their activities by having fundraising sales of such items as flowers , baked goodies, and stationery .

FSA helped the student to get better aquainted with the business wo rld and its ways . FSA was affiliated with the National Secretary's Association which was made up of secretaries around the nation .

Office Occupations was "a great way to meet people . Whatever field you are interested in they can find a job for you, " stated Sharon Kesler .

00 was a 3 credit course in which the student worked half a day in an

office somewhere in town. They, too, had speakers come to class. In addition to their jobs, students work in class on improving their many secretarial skills .

At the end of the year, FSA and 00 sponsored a banquet to show special appreciation for bosses and secretaries .

Future Homemakers of America was a youth organization of the Home Economics program . It provided the opportunity for Home Ec students to have experiences they could not have during a regular class period . Preparing and serving food at the International Supper and holding bake sales were two such activities . The Central FHA-HERO chapter was affiliated with the national organization which had about 400,000 members.

Future Farmers of America was also an affiliate of the national organization. Members took field trips, p lanned sp ecial projects and had judgi ng teams which participated in state contests . "Food is really what it's all about," stated Mark Millsap, "and I sure want to know what I' m doing when I become the 'backbone' of the nation .' "

IIIINI EYE EIFFEL "How're ya' gonna keep 'em down on the farm .. ?" was a question that the cultural exchange clubs at Central were not interested in answering. The Spanish, French, German and Fore1gn Exchange Clubs were all much more interested in "letting 'em see Paree!"

All four cultural exchange clubs (as well as the VOA and Counseling Guides, FHA-HERO and Student Council) participated in the International Supper which was held on December 3 in the cafeteria. The event raised over $700; that money was used to scholarship a Central student on a Rotary Exchange Program to France.

In addition to the Supper, the clubs also held many individual activities. The Foreign Exchange Club held cooking demonstrations, a "Bring Your Own Chopsticks" dinner and an exchange weekend . During this weekend, Exchange Club students hosted foreign students from nearby communities in their homes. Members were also responsible

for finding a host family and welcoming Central's own foreign student.

Not unlike the afore-mentioned club, French Club also held many cooking demonstrations. A volleyball game, a trip to Chicago, bake sales and a Christmas party were on the club's agenda as well.

Money raised by the club was utilized by purchasing French films. Periodic meetings consisted of refreshments and occasional French speakers.

The Windy City seemed to be a popular destination considering the fact that German Club also journeyed there. The organization was also involved in a soccer game and a club picnic. The Club members also had a Christmas party.

Still another club had Chicago in its plans. The Spanish Club, too, organized a bake sale, car wash and games against the other cultural exchange clubs. One of the highlights of the year was the annual Copa Cabana, where, this year, the students learned Spanish "hoofing."

For those students who desired academic and special interest achievement recognition, four clubs at Central provided for their needs. Three of these clubs were school-based language honoraries and the fourth was the local chapter of the ational Honor Society.

Requirements and activities within the various language honoraries varied slightly . German Honor Society required members to have only one quarter with a grade of B in German . All remaining quarter grades had to be A. Members of the Society participated in a soccer game, a picnic, a trip to Chicago and helped sponsor the German table at the International Supper. The grade requirements for Spanish Honor Society were the same as for German Honor Society with the exception that the B could not be received as a final grade. Spanish Honor Society members enjoyed such activities as Copa Cabana, team sports vs. other clubs, dance lessons, a bake sale, a car wash, co-sponsorship with the Spanish Club of the hors d'oevres

Activities included a trip to Chicago, joint sponsorship with the French Club of the French table at the International Supper, a showing of French films, meetings with special speakers, a volleyball game and a Christmas party.

Man could not enter on grades alone according to the initiation requirements for National Honor Society. In addition to a 5.0 average in the sophomore year, a 4.75 average the junior year and a 4.5 average the senior year, the applicant, according to national rules, had to exhibit leadership, service and good citizenship. Therefore, students who qualifed academically were reviewed by the faculty to determine status in the other three areas before they could be initiated. The National Honor Society's major activities involved fund-raising to provide financing for the initiation.

BOUND FOR SUCCESS PL94-142 Ever heard of it? Probably not, but most teachers had.

PL94-142 was a law which stated that it was the duty of each educational district to provide an "appropriate" education for all the students within the district. Two organizations certainly met the intent of that law. They were Afro-American Club and Upward Bound, both designed to meet the specific needs of black minority students.

Afro-American Club began something new this year. In addition to its usual fund-raising activities (most often involving the Club's very popular and very own popcorn machine), two community involvement activities were planned. The first was a Christmas party for C-U Daycare and the second was a party in West Side Park in the spring.

Whereas Afro-American Club was basically a social organization, Upward Bound was an academic organization sponsored by the U.S. Office of EduHelping the faculty w1th the Amencan table at the International Supper wa one of the many a t1vitie of the Afro-Am ncan Club Among the dehcao s offered were collard greens and black-eyed peas P1ctured here w1th faculty members Mrs Cla1r Skaperdas, Mr .

cation. It was designed for students from low-income families who had the academic ability to be successful in college with the help that Upward Bound provided. Any student who wanted to enter the program had to be willing to make a commitment to work hard to prepare for college and to remain in high school full-time until the end of his or her senior year.

Upward Bound began with a sixweek stay on the University of Illinois campus during the summer where the students participated in an intensive study of reading, writing and math .

During the school year, Upward Bound staff members helped students with their college preparatory courses and held classes in the basic subject areas. Students were encouraged to change their schedules to include as many college preparatory courses as possible. As Earl Lewis said, "Being in Upward Bound is probably one of the most significant things that has happened to me in my whole life."

MADRIGALS MAKE MERRY FOR XMAS Bnnging to life the Elizabethan traditions of Christmas madrigals , the Boar ' s Head Feast , and the wassail was a novel a c compltshment for Champatgn Central ' s Madngals . The two-ntght presentation at University Place Christian Church was inspired

by Madrigal Director, Mr Don Decker, who felt that, due to the combined efforts of students, parents and his w ife, Barbara, the evenings were an " unqualified success."

There were many " specials " which added to the authenticity of the evening . Costumes , designed and made by the students and their parents were worn by all. The menu , which consisted of roast beef , parsleyed potatoes, Waldorf salad and a choice of minced meat or pumpkin pie, was prepared and served by students and parents. Also, special string and brass ensembles performed .

Mr Decker said that he hoped that this year's performance would be the first of a yearly tradition . Due to the fact that, for the first time next year, Madrigals will be a separate credit course , he felt that preparation for such an undertaking would be much easier .

The Madrigal group was not the only performing group at Central, however . Other choirs included Swing Choir , a group which performed mainly pop tunes and membership in which required both singing and dancing ability; Chamber Choir, a mixed choir which performed both classical and pop tunes and req uired an audition; and Treble Choir, an all-girl choi r which req uired no audition .

THEY DO IT ALL FOR YOU Headlines, copy, captions, layouts . . . what did those words have in common? They were the tools of the trade to Chronicle and Maroon staffers . These words, or more specifically, the objects they represented, kept sponsors and staffers at school until long after the rest of the student body was at home and sometimes even until long after most of the staff and student body were snug in their beds. As Maroon editor Jill Pruemer put it, "If you enjoy feeling the same way you feel when you have a term paper due the next day and you ' have not yet begun to write,' and you enjoy feeling that way so much that you like to feel that way at least once a month , join the Maroon staff. "

Actually students felt that they gained much from being on the publications' staffs. "I learned basic writing skills and just about newspaper business in general," commented Don Gerard , a junior on the Chronicle staff .

"Being part of an All-American news magazine can ' t help but be fun ," added Holly Jaycox .

There were also other activities mvolved in being on staff. Chronicle staff members participated in the local ISH PA convention at the University of Illinois, while Maroon staff members attended a summer yearbook camp in Eau Claire, Wisconsin . The staffs created a little inter-class rivalry as well , with a friendly pre-Halloween volleyball game and party.

FUTURE POLITICIANS PRACTICE UP In a presidential election year such as 1980, school elections took on more Significance with reportedly more students runn1ng for the spaces available in representative organizations One always knew when one of these elections was tak1ng place by the numerous campaign posters , crossed fingers, good luck charms and general hall discussion .

There were four representative organizations at Central. Most of those groups held elections in the spring with the exception of Title VI Advisory Board which did not know from year to year whether it was to be in existence since it was dependent on federal money granted on a year to year basis . Also, the election for freshmen seats on Student Coucil

could not be held in the spring due to obvious reasons .

The I.M . Board , sponsored by Coach Dorothy Miller, organized and governed all intra-mural games including scheduling and play-offs The Election Board , sponsored by Mr Howard Horn, was responsible for over-seeing the election process in any election which involved the entire student body Sponsored by Mrs. Pat Klimek , the Student Council tried its best to carry out the wishes of its constituency by sponsoring dances and assemblies .

Council members also provided an invaluable service at the International Supper when they served on the clean-up detail. Members tried very hard to help the faculty, administra-

tion and students work together for a better school for all The Title VI Advisory Board, sponsored by Mrs . Claire Skaperdas, organized activities which promoted interracial understanding and cooperation between students involved in T1tle VI programs One of their activities was to attend a play at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts located on the University of Illinois campus.

Most of the representative organizations met once a month . Elect1on Board and tudent Council positions were open to any student at Central; Title VI and I.M. Board positions were open to students who participated in those programs.

COMPETITION CHALLENGES CENTRAL When competition was the name of the game, three clubs at Central had something in common. The Math Club. Speech Club (also known as Individual Events or, more commonly, I.E.) and Debate Club carried Central's name into scholastic competitions all over the state of llhnois .

1980 saw the reJUVenation of one of those !-remember-when-we-used-tohave clubs. Led by seniors Teri Billing, Rob Lane, Steve Barry, Ed Mooney and Denise Griffet, membership increased to the point where sometimes as many as fifty members were taking the state-wide tests . "The Club provided an outlet where I could increase by mathematical skills," stated member, Loren Heal. The contests were held at Central and at Parkland College . Members also had the opportunity to learn some of the uses of the Apple II computer which began its residency at Central this year.

Members also provided a great service to other students by offering after-school tutorials .

I.E . welcomed students interested in all forms of speaking. Members chose from a variety of events- Radio Speaking to Humorous Duet Acting.

The Team, along with traveling to compet1t1ons (including some overnighters). also held fund-raisers, parent orientations and a Christmas party. I.E. member Zoe Olefsky stated, "Because of the outstanding support from Coach Mark Hunsaker and Assistant Coaches Barb Goodman and Tom Skaggs, I feel I have gained experiences and memories to last a lifetime ."

The Debate activities were run in conjunction with the I.E. activities in that they participated at the same tournaments . The Team had its own coaches and new members were encouraged to join. In the hopes of disallowing that old excuse "I couldn't do that; I've never done anything like that befire," competition was organized for novice, junior varsity and varsity classes . cholast1

SKILLS SCORE AT CHS Rennovation of activities of past years seemed to be in vogue at Central this year. One more example of a born-again activity was the Art Club . " The club is for anyone who has an interest in art and / or artistic activities, " reported Mr. John Lindstrom, Club Sponsor . Founded about twenty years ago, the Club was active for about fifteen of those years . Lindstrom reported that anywhere from twentyfour to thirty students participated this year in the approximately bi-monthly meetings.

A second-year club which also served the needs of a specially talented group of students was the Junior

Illinois Association for the Deaf. Signing , the hand language by which many hard of hearing and deaf communicate, was intriguing to more than a few Central students and teachersso much so, in fact , that special classes were offered for beginning and advanced signers . The junior lAD's were often sought out to help class members practice newly learned signs .

Club members themselves also had many planned activities . They met once a week, took many trips, had a Halloween party, and participated in the junior Illinois Association for the Deaf Volleyball Tournament .

SPARE TIME PROVES PROFIT ABLE If a student wanted to have an hour free from academic worries and yet perform a service to the school and his or her peers, what could that student do?

That student could join one of four organizations : Voluntary Office Aids (VOA), Teachers' Aids (T A), Counseling Guides or Peer Ears.

The first three of the above-mentioned organizations were similar in that the service performed helped students and teachers alike. Students joined for a variety of reasons. For example, one girl pulled a muscle in her leg and couldn't participate in P.E. so she was scheduled as a VOA for that hour. "It's better than sitting around doing nothing," said the girl, who preferred to remain anonymous. Other students dropped a class so late in the quarter that they could not get into any other class so they became TA's. Most students that worked in these organizations reported that they especially enjoyed getting to know the administrators, secretaries and teachers for whom they worked on a more informal basis. They also reported that they felt they had a better understanding of what "really made Central tick."

Peer Ears was a slightly different organization in that the students in the program were recommended by counselors and teachers as having special qualities of understanding and being good listeners. The Peer Ear program assumed that peer influence could be constructive, that teens perhaps related better to each other than to adults and that students could learn and implement beginning counseling techniques. In addition to the qualities already mentioned, volunteers were selected to include different races, various grade and achievement levels, differing socio-economic backgrounds, and widespread geographical areas of the community. Once selected, a student was assigned an "office time," when he or she would be available to other students who needed someone to talk to . Kim Hale reported, "I really enjoy feeling that in some way I have been able to make someone else's life a little easier."

GOLFERS TRAP BIG 12 TITLE How about a slice? Absolutely not would be the answer given by any one of the thirteen members of Central's Golf Team . Led by seniors Bill Hobbs and Dave Gardner, the Golf Team finished its season with a record of 11 wins and 2 losses . Included in its victories was the sixth win in seven years at the Big 12 Conference Meet.

The major disappointment of the season was the team's failure to advance to Sectionals. Senior letterwinner Bill Hobbs did qualify individually and went on to tie for first at Sectionals and finish 30th out of 160 at State .

SEXUAL REVOLUTION SEIZES CC Picture this . It's 2:20. You rush to your locker, run home and grab a bite to eat, gulp down a Pepsi, get into as few clothes as possible if the weather is warm and as many clothes as you can get away with if it's cold , and by 3 :20 you ' re back at the door to Combes Gym with a mustachioed coach yelling orders at you. Who are you? Answer- you are a cross country runner . For the first time this year, "you" could have been a boy or girl.

The girls' team was a little disorganized at first, but by the middle of the season, Athletic Director Lee Cabutti had arranged for the girls to have separate meets with some other schools . Coach Stirrett said that he believed it was time for girls to have their own team . The girls wished their program had started as early as the boys' program . They had hoped also for more interest in it among the girls in the school. "I think by next year we can create some more interest in the girls' team," said Kristie Robbins .

The boys' Varsity Cross Country Team got off to a slow start. Although they had some good individual runs, the team simply could not get everyone to run well in the same meet. Good coaching, however, brought them more confidence; they ran much better and, more importantly, ran as a team .

But sickness and injuries to top runners were costly and the team ended up having to rely on inexperience . Senior Craig Detamore was the only member of the team to qualify for Sectionals.

MAROONS MAKE IT 500 AT PLAY-OFFS Hut one, hut two, hike! The sound of helmets and shoulder pads crunching together was heard above the screaming, yelling, and general chaos of the Central Maroon fans . This was the normal action at a Central football game but this year, that action was seen in the State Play-offs . In the first game of the Play-offs, Central became the first team in Illinois to win 500 games . The pride in the team and in their coach soared o unmatched heights , not only at Central, but in the community as well. Larry Stewart, local sportscaster, commented, "Not only is Tommy (Stewart) a fine coach but he is a true gentleman as well. " The team suffered numerous injuries throughout the season . Despite all the setbacks, the season was outstanding . The main reason behind the team ' s success was head coach , Tom Stewart. When asked his opinion of the man, Scott Burkett replied, "He's a great coach! . . . He just is ." This is Coach Stewart's twenty-ninth year at Central.

Another reason for Central 's success was the team's spirit. A few players, usually Seniors jim Wicks and Scott Burkett, gave their teammates a pre-game pep talk .

These conferences served to unite the team's morale .

Waiting to " do it to them," are defensive players James Peat, Dennis tahl, and Todd Oliver Concentration and qUick reflexes are the b1g key to defense according to Sen1or Scott Burkett Elevators are a w ay of life for InJured football players Jay Matthews, Tony McMullen, and Todd Wh1tt .

GO WITH A SEASONABLE WINNER GET INTO FALL August 28 . Does anyone remember that horrible day?

Of course. It was the first day of school But it wasn't the first day for some Centralites In fact, some Central athletes had tra1ned all summer long to either get into or keep in condition Golfers practiced on the many courses in the area. Cross country runners jogged on their own to keep in shape Tennis players JOined the Park District's team tennis program or played on the1r own while football players lifted we1ghts until practice began two weeks before registration Central's swimmers usually joined country club swim teams or the lucky ones practiced in their own back yards. The results of these athletes' efforts were a source of pride to Central. Individuals and teams qualified for district and state tournaments . lnvitationals and Individual meets put Central on top of such archrivals as Urbana and Centennial. An athlete may well be proud, hard-working, dedicated and above all, must know how to win and lose; but in the case of Central athletes, in addition to the above adjectives- color them Maroon Concentration is the key to a good putt as B1ll Hobbs well knows Hobbs IS the only member of Central's Golf Team to qualify for tate A well-dlso plined golfer, he placed 30th out of 160 qualifiers 50-Yard Freestyle is the specialty of Julie Arnold. Because she IS a freshman, Arnold works hard to prove herself among upperclass team members

NETTERS NAB BIG 12, DISTRICT TITLES Wonder why the Girls' Tennis Tearn was called the Pink Panthers?

The team adopted the Pink Panther as its mascot when it was decided that , since pink was a shade of maroon , Pink Panther sweatshirts would be p-r-r-fect . But sweatshirts or not, the girls showed their true maroon color throughout an outstanding season . Amassing an impressive dual meet record of 16-0, the team was, according to Coach joAnn Busch, "a real powerhouse ."

Busch felt that the toughest competition during the year came from LaGrange , Bloomington , Peoria Richwoods and Springfield dual meets . She was also obviously proud of the third Big Twelve Conference Championship in four years and the team win at the District Tournament Championship at Danville . The season was topped off by qualifying five girls out of a possible six for State Tournament play. Those qualifying were seniors Mary Hummel (# 1 doubles) and Kelly Turk (# 2 doubles), juniors Kris Stauffer (# 1 singles) and Keri Lenz, and freshman Marty Fess (# 2 doubles).

Three team members boasted an undefeated dual meet record in singles: Mary Hummel, Keri Lenz and Marty Fess. junior Jennifer Cocagne and sophomore Briana Yates had only one dual meet loss in singles and the doubles team of Kelly Turk and Marty Fess also experienced only one dual meet loss.

With the squad graduating only two team members, Coach Busch was fairly certain that they would be a fine, strong team again next year . Although there was much practice and hot, hot hours on sunbaked tennis courts involved, Busch felt that the girls really enjoyed the hard work and the competition.

They must have . They certainly were winners .

VERSA TILE SWIMMERS VIE FOR TITLES "Swimmers, take your mark ."

Bang! And they were off. Chlorinereddened eyes concentrated on lane markers at the finish . Lungs which moments earlier had had no breath left in them, filled again to cheer on teammates. Muscles which had no more to give managed to give just a little bit more.

Hours later, the efforts paid off.

Central had defeated previously undefeated Conference stand-out, Bloomington . A team which was not supposed to be that good beat the best.

It was questionable just how strong the team would be this year after losing nine seniors, but they ended up doing very well. Coach Nancy Paterson attributed this success to the versatility of the team.

"Because people could swim a lot of different events, we could mix things up for different meets according to the other team's weaknesses," commented Paterson .

Second team swimmers became a true asset to the team because of their continuing improvement.

Coach Paterson attributed their new-found abilities to the swimmers' perserverance and the hard work of her new Assistant Coach, Bill Freyman .

A first for the swimmers this year was their hosting of the Big 12 Conference Meet. Most of the team wished Central had its own pool so that they would not have to use Centennial's. They definitely enjoyed their novel assignment, however, especially since their hard work paid off with a 2nd place.

SOPHS SPORT 6-1; FROSH WIN 1 If, in the spring, every young man's fancy turns to love, what does it turn to in the fall? Football, of course . Every Varsity hopeful must get exposure and experience somehow, and what better way than to try out for the Freshman and Sophomore Tearns.

The freshman squad had a rough season. So rough was their season, in fact, that when he was asked to comment, Andrew Hoffswell replied, "I don't want to talk about it." Although their record of 1-6 was nothing to brag about, Coach U.S. Davidson did feel that the team's rout of Stephen Decatur was a great victory.

He also felt that another victory was the fact that fifty freshmen turned out for tryouts.

As proof of the fact that experience and age count, the sophomore squad lost only one of their eight games . Although as a team they averaged slightly smaller than normal, their enthusiasm and speed brought them out on top time after time . The sophomore squad was the only Central football team to beat both Urbana and Centennial this season . Their graduation to the Varsity will undoubtedly be an asset to that already talent-laden team.

BANQUET KICKS OFF F-8 Arriving in the cafeteria, it was hard to miss the excitement and anticipation written on everyone's face. Parents were searching for seats and talking about the "big game" the next night. The event was the Football Kick-Off Banquet and the "big game" was the Central vs. Centennial game which was to be played the following night, September 5. The mood was festive and everyone was gulping food and Pepsi, while anxiously waiting for the program to begin.

The first speaker was the President of the Football Parents Association, Eugene Wicks, who talked about funds . He introduced the cheerleading sponsor, Tina Demeris.

"I've only been here a couple of months, but so far, it ' s been a pleasure," Demeris reported .

Next on the floor was Coach Tom my Stewart who introduced all the football coaches and their wives. "I think it is very important to know every young man's name, " the coach said; and he went on to introduce each squad, Freshman through Varsity, without using any notes . He offered this advice to the Varsity, "If you work hard the first quarter, we ought to have a good enough team to win this game ." With that, the football players pounded on tables, parents clapped and everyone left with smiles and a full stomach . Unfortunately, Central lost to Centennial the next night, but the spirit of the Banquet carried the Varsity to State Play-Offs and the Sophomores to an impressive 7-1 record .

Bump . . . Set . . . Spike! This strategy totally occupied the thoughts of every Central volleyball player as she bumped her way around the court. Coach Karon Rasmussen drilled the spikers on those and other skills almost daily, enabling them to win 21 of their 24 games.

The Varsity had a very good year in that it won District for the seventh year in a row, was undefeated in Big 12 competition and won the Big 12 championship. Coach Rasmussen said she was very proud of the teams' victory over Springfield Sacred Heart, " a very good team" in her estimation .

Coach Rasmussen also was optimistic about next years' prospects since four of her six starters were to return and the junior Varsity had posted a good season .

The advantages and disadvantages of playing any varsity sport were exemplified this year in the plight of senior jenni Miller. Miller, through her participation in volleyball, had developed her skills enough to have a chance at playing on a college team . Scholarships often help solve financial problems confronting promising athletes who feel that they could not swing college on their own resources. Unfortunately, Miller was injured twice this season, once with a knee injury and finally with an ankle injury which kept her out of the last six games of the season and all of the tournament games. Miller's vertical jump fell from thirty inches to twenty-one inches, but she still had

hopes of playing in college although not on scholarship for at least her freshman year.

Highlights of the season included beating defending Big 12 Champs Lincoln by two points, and qualifying three grapplers for Sectionals (Dana Anastasia, Brad Parks and two-time qualifier Scott Burkett). Anastasia won first in his class at District to qualify for Sectionals, while Parks and Burkett earned second in their respective classes.

Eight seniors graduated from this year's team including Parks who had the most takedowns with 52 and Burkett who lead the team in pins with 15.

"The Seniors contributed a lot to this year's team and next year's team in a way, too," stated Coach Rosenbaum .

CAGERS BOUNCE C.C.H.S. AND URBANA "This is the lowest number of wins in a season that I have ever experienced," commented Basketball Coach Lee Cabutti, "but we will have a lot of experience returning next year so I'm looking for a better sea on then ." With six returning lettermen, Cabutti could be right.

Cabutti did comment that the season was far from a total loss. Three-year letterman Scott Clark was consistent throughout the season. Clark, Dave Gardner and Tony Allen were the major contributors, but there were some "up" times for the entire team . Beating Urbana in a low-scoring ball control contest (25-23) and beating Centennial were definite high points.

Coach Cabutti was very optimistic about next year's varsity squad. "With that good crop of juniors and with some help from the Sophomores, we should have a pretty good team next year," said the Coach. enior Dave Gardner added, ''I'll remember beating Urbana and Centennial and I agree that next year's team should give the fans something to cheer about."

TEAM TRIES FOR TREMENDOUS TALLY The tension was mounting as the first game of the Girls ' Basketball season approached. Cross-town rival, Centennial , was the intended opponent for both the Varsity and the Junior Varsity.

Fortunately, the Varsity won a squeaker (49-48) and the J.V.'s blew them out with a 25-17 victory.

The Varsity squad ended their season with a 10-12 record . Coach John Hornaday said he was very pleased with the outcome of the season . Senior letterwinner Gail Gruber speculated, "We are winning more games every year and hopefully, next year's team will do just as good or better ." The outgoing seniors were Paula Jones, Jane Davis, Renae Cook , Gruber and Sarah Beberman .

The J.V. Team finished out the season with a 6-13 tally . Coach Karla Anderson explained, " The team was inexperienced at first, but after one season, they have shown quite a bit of improvement." Anderson said that she mainly wanted to stress the fundamentals of basketball because most of the girls had never played an organized form of basketball before. One interesting aspect of the season was that for each game, a different captain was chosen . Her job was to call time-outs, talk to the referees before the game and discuss any controversial calls.

Both J.V. and Varsity coaches agreed that basketball was not just for boys and encouraged anyone interested to be sure to try out next year.

ATHLETES KEEP WARM Brrr! Old Man Winter blasted his way into Central Illinois and threatened C-U with blizzard-like conditions as he normally did between the periods of Christmas vacation and Spring Break. In total, Unit 4 closed school twice because of the wicked weather. Despite the frosty climiate, students found ways to get their exercise; cross-country skiing, down-hill skiing, snowmobiling, ice fishing and sledding were among the many winter activities.

When asked what he did most of the winter, Rob Lane replied, "I spent most of my time swimming." Swimming? In the dead of winter? Yes, if you were on the Central Boys' Swim Team. The athletes practiced after school and early in the morning. Their efforts proved successful as the tankers swam away with the Big 12 Conference Title, their sixth such victory in seven years.

Another sport which was not usually associated with cold weather was basketball. Both girls and guys spent many hours perfecting defensive and offensive strategies under the careful guidance of Coach john Hornaday and Lee Cabutti, respectively.

Although the Boys' Varsity Team did not enjoy an especially successful season, Dave Gardner commented, "I'll always remember beating Urbana and Centennial my senior year." The Girls' Varsity Team was adamant about giving credit for their winning season to Coach Hornaday. Yvonne Oldham stated, "He's a real good coach . I really like him, even when he starts smashin' people."

Winter also marked the beginning of the grapplers' season . Brad Parks commented, "All of the credit for the success that we've had should go to our coaches." After placing seventh in the Big 12 Conference, they finished third at District and advanced three wrestlers as far as Sectionals.

The ending of winter was the conclusion of a sport which gave support and spirit to all seasons of athletic activity. The Varsity Cheerleaders saw spring bring an end to their months of following the ups and down of all varsity teams' seasons. jill Wallace said, "Although we didn't win every game, I was really happy to be a part of the Maroon spirit.

TANKERS TAKE V ARSI-TEA PLUNGE "More Central students tried out this year than ever before, but we had less experience than we've had in years past," said Coach Jeff Trigger. However, the dual and conference meet records certainly did not reflect the Coach's concerns; moreover, some outstanding individual records were set including: John Tompkins (2()()-Yard Individual Medley/201 .9 seconds); Bill Hobbs (1QO-Yard Freestyle/ 47.6 seconds to place fifth in State and so- Yard Freestyle/ 21 .65 to place second in State); Jeff Parkhill (Diving/234.05 points); Andy Fletcher (1QO-Yard Breast Stroke/ 100.03 seconds to place fourth in State); and Rob Lane, Andy Fletcher, John Tompkins and Bill Hobbs (Medley Relay/ 139.4 seconds.

In addition to the records mentioned, the times for the 1QO-Yard Freestyle and the 1QO-Yard Breast Stroke were school records.

Fletcher, Lane, Hobbs, Tompkins and Parkhill had an outstanding senior year and earned their fourth year letter. Hobbs received special recognition when he was elected to the All-State Swim Team . Joe Crowley and Marty Kamerer also lettered this year. Other seniors who contributed to a successful season were George Grubb, Chris Sanders and Brad Walsh.

Trigger also mentioned that Erik Ensrud, Steve Sergiovanni, Kent Whiteseu and Mark Neumann deDon served recognttton .

Divers Wroughton (first in Conference) and Jeff Parkhill (second in Conference) were backed up by newcomers Dave Washburn and Gene Beckler. Returning for next year's team were two State qualifiers, Wroughton and Phil Brunson.

According to Coach Trigger, the most memorable meet of the season was the Big 12 Conference Meet where Central scored a 2-point upset (257-255) after losing to that same team twice earlier in the year.

CAGERS KEEN ON CAREERS A basketball career did not start at the Varsity level. Years of building came before reaching that goal. An excellent opportunity for building experience was to be a member of the Freshman, Sophomore or junior Varsity Team .

Two freshmen, Roy McKnight and Brian Stull, agreed that because of a freshman season which finished 7-16, they had learned early some of the skills of the game. They felt that this opportunity to compete early in their career was a definite advantage.

noted, " It was a long pull at the start but the team showed definite improvement. Undoubtedly, the high point of the season was beating Decatur MacArthur whose record was 13-1 at the time."

IM INTEREST INCREASES "A student for every sport, and a sport for every student." This was how Mrs. Miller summed up the Intramural Sports Program but actually there was much more to it. It was all made possible by the I.M. Board, a body of elected students. This group acted as a sort of student council for the program.

Once the teams found their members and gave themselves a name, the I.M. Board was responsible for making up the schedule for all the games played.

This included as many as three or four volleyball games in one night, scheduled, twice a week!

The real importance of the I.M. program lay with the make-up of teams.

These teams did not consist of all-star athletes who were chosen by a coach after a grueling tryout. Anybody could be on a team, and this was, according to Mrs. Miller, the basic purpose behind I.M. Sports. "It gives a kid who may not be a super sport, the chance to play."

Although, I.M. Sports were not new this year, it was the best season ever, as far as volleyball and basketball went.

The volleyball program acquired nearly ten more teams than the previous year finishing up with a total of 33 teams.

Miller credited the increased enrollment mostly to the fact that more guys participated. This was, in her opinion, due to the fact that the men began to

realize that volleyball wasn't just a g1rls' game.

In the case of the I.M. basketball league, there was a total of 21 teams.

This was also considered a successful season, although, basketball has always been popular among the male students, especially the I.M. competition.

Besides the fact that enrollment increased and the season was lengthened because of this increase, no dramatic changes took place in the program. The basics remained the same with referees for the I.M. games being University of Illinois or Parkland students, I.M. Board members or varsity athletes.

However, it was proposed that next year, referee positions would be taken over entirely by I.M. Board members who had participated in a two-week training clinic.

It was an efficient, fun program. The atmosphere made anyone feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone had a chance in the I.M. games. If someone couldn't get his own team together yet wanted to play, a team was found to place him on.

Participant Roberta Trimpe summarized the attributes perfectly when she said, "It provides for the excitement of true competition, yet it's casual and comfortable enough to be really fun ."

UNTITLED around. "You shouldn't mind if you're such a hfeguard," someone said. "You're right," I said jokingly. But in the back of my mind I knew I should put an end to the joke and tell them I couldn't swim. But somehow I couldn't. Being new in town was a drag, and when I finally became accepted into the group, I acquired a reputation of being something of a bluffer and I wasn't about to show myself up.

Suddenly everyone was in the water splashing around, wading really. I shook my head when everyone asked me to join them. "Sorry," I said. "I don't have my swimsuit on."

Lame excuse, but it worked.

Then I heard screaming. Oh no! Somebody's hand waved frantically and was calling my name. My stomach crawled. We all stood mesmerized, helpless.

Something in me urged me to be a lifeguard. I kicked off my shoes.

Suddenly I was in the water .

The sky was that certain color of blue you always associate with pretty days.

Little tufts of clouds peeked up between expanses of blue making funny shapes. A couple of us decided to go down to the river and mess around. One girl balked at the idea of going down there without an adult.

"Oh come on," I said. "I can swim if you start to fall in and drown!" Of course I was only kidding. I couldn't swim a stroke. But I was confident that nothing would arise that would call my bluff. It had never been called before, and I had told lots of scaredy-cats I could swim and save them when someone was scared to go down to the river.

I was hot enough to have actually jumped in when we finally got down to the river. A couple of the girls were clowning around, pretending to throw me in the river, but I guess I started to get panicky, and I told them to quit messing

I started to gasp for breath.

Clumsily I started to stroke.

Crazily, I tried to think of what swim lessons had tried to teach me. My mind was blank. All I could think of was calling fate's bluff and rescuing that girl.

Everything started to turn murky green. Oh God, I was under the water! I breathed in.

I realized my mistake. My hands churned and my feet pumped. As I looked up I could almost see the tufts of white clouds scattered between blue. I headed towards that sky, praying that I would live, not even thinking of that girl.

I was a lifeguard for myself now, saving me.

I started to paddle towards shore. I saw the drowning girl ahead of me on shore. She had made it. Then my feet touched bottom. I had made it. I was on shore.

CHRISTMAS Christmas time is always exciting to my family, but last year was especially wonderful because my sister, Dawn, and her boyfriend, Ali, were coming . I went with my parents to find a tree that could become a part of the tradition . It was a week before Christmas but still there weren't many trees left. We found a lot with about twenty trees. It was at that lot that we got our soon-to-be Christmas tree.

It was just the right height and round enough to resemble Santa Claus himself. But the best thing about it was it had tiny pinecones all over.

Dawn and Ali were coming on Friday, the twentyfirst of December. It was the last day of school before Christmas vacation . I could hardly sit still and listen in class; impatience bubbled up inside me.

Their plane was supposed to come in at two o'clock. My brother, Larry, went to pick them up at the airport. They arrived at my house at four-thirty.

The plane had been delayed because of fog.

When they got out of the car, not much was said, just a lot of hugging and kissing . Dawn had dyed her

hair. Ali looked the same. They said he had grown fatter .

A few days later we played Christmas records and decorated the tree. It glistened with tiny lights and tinsel. We made cookies and decorated them. Not only did the house look like Christmas, it smelled like it.

The nativity scene Granny had made was set on the coffee table . Presents were piled under the tree .

The ornaments Dawn had made for each of us hung on the front of the tree .

Christmas finally came. Our family and a few special friends gathered in the front room . Music and voices crowded the room. They were sounds I had missed so much. The love we felt for each other grew stronger that day as we thanked God for bringing us all together again safely and also for sending His Son so we could have Christmas.

CENTRAL Good times remembered sad times we've forgotten all echo through the rooms and through our minds.

Time, somehow lost, now behind us like a shadow, Laughter and tears, memories shared between us,

They're all here, pushed back and left alone in the back of our minds.

Not really forgotten but, misplaced among the rubble, among the last footsteps that silence the empty hall.

Meg Foley

THE ABANDONED FORTRESS It lie in wait - dark, ominous, waiting like a dark mouth to engulf vi itors, Full of dark cr t , buried hall , ch mbers of the inquisitor ; Making you wonder if orne evil creatur in it has his lair Teeming with dark ecrets unwilling to be shared.

Did a battle once rage here Co ting the victor very d ar?

Or did he flee from an unknown fear, The cause of a legend of yesteryear.

The march of time ha eroded the stone; The forest urrounding it until it i alon , The rain ha wa hed it to the bone; Its purpose, gone, as the world ha grown.

The gaunt battlements reach for the sky, Like teeth training for a prey that ha long been by Purpo ele , an empty shell, its vitality never to regain, It gradually recedes into the -stone from which it came.

THE CAVE One could feel the warm, moist air drifting from the inconspicuous mouth of the cave. It was in a way inviting and yet al o forbidding; and as we entered, the latter prevailed. One knew that in the dark exi ted creepy things with slick, watery bodies that watched and listened and remained undisclosed.

We continued on, noticing the crooked, twi ted talagtite that yearned to reach the floor of the cave. They had worked toward that task for many centuries. Bit by bit, particle were carried to their tips by water droplets. If anyone touched these tips, a wax residue would be left and the stalagtites would t.!:l"ll-..L•O more. Funny though-to think that .oatu centuries of work could be stopped dead its tracks by the touch of a finger.

We continued d cending and it got moister and creepier. ittle animals, that appeared like freaks o ture around and bats like ominous vii · s hung from the ceiling, ready to su like a leach on someone's blood. But t · gy, grey, dark cave was their hom and we were invaders.

When we reached our destination t guide said we were 600 feet under-

ground and a feeling of hysteric hit me. I felt as if everything was closing in on me. I pictured myself buried alive, in a casket, contained and unable to ever get out. Clo ed in, locked up, and verging on in anity.

But then the lights went out and my train of thought changed. I realized without lights and disconnected from the world that we were now in the cave animal world. In the dark, in a cave away from civilization, w were at their mercy! And then I began to see dark, hairy bats with glowing, yellow eyes clinging to me and injecting their teeth like a syringe into my neck and head, sucking blood from my veins and leaving but a blob of flesh and veins. But once again my gory imagination was interrupted by the light's illumination, and I wa happy to hear that we were going to ascend to the surface.

On the way up, some of the older spelunkers got tired and I felt sorry for them; but this sorrow was overshadowed by the relief that overwhelmed me when I stepped out of the cave. As I left, I caught a moist breath of air from the cave, but it was no longer, in any way, inviting.

THE PUTT It was a hart putt, just a little one

A foot or o, not very far at all.

So I took it easy, stepped up and stepped away For one last look, Very confident as I lined it up.

Under the eyes of all I swung the putter back with the precision of A pendulum and Struck the ball.

It started gaining speed, Peaking, Then slowing down, rolling on the line of accuracy Then stopping, stopping until the ball stood immobile To the left of the cup.

Hanging on the edge between victory and defeat Everyone staring down forcefully, Hoping that the slightest movement would Jar the ball into the hole; Hanging, hanging on the edge until It was clear.

It was not to be.

FRIENDS

The day was still young as I went I was going to a place so far away I left for a vow made long ago Now I'll be happy, feelings at bay.

The ocean rushes in with the tide the warmth of the surf surrounds me (with love)

The wind was blowing as I got there Their hair was waving, telling me "hello" Unlike the past, the sand was so soft No one will now tell me I must go.

His strength overwhelms me sometimes even sweeps me off my feet then the ebbing tide leaves me crying on the beach Alone.

They let me in their little ball game It did not matter if I didn't play well To them life was meant for great fun Their beauty in life is to see a mere shell At times their eyes glimmered, then faded away They knew they were too remote to aid So they instead played ball and pondered For they knew this place was not man made.

My friends far away will never know They will wonder a long time if I am sad None will follow me for a long stretch But when they do, they will be very glad.

Two friends will make it to see me here Although they won't come until one score One will be a skeptic, the other believes They will be accepted as we've seen before.

I have only one friend to She flew at twenty while We look back at what we And we hope our friends

remind me of there I at twenty-one had and once knew don't have that much fun.

The two, my friends I shall know Will come by car and fast train They will be missed there, welcomed here Here they will have no pain.

Then we will all be here in a small group, Two, twenty years later in their prime But they are lucky to be in this place, They'll be here years and years, for all time.

SPRING FEELINGS It was just a day, nothing more or less. I wasn't

anywhere in particular, just outside somewhere. But ature had built around me a fantasy world that I just had to accept. He first layed down a carpet of green; I accepted and sat down. The small entertainers crawled and danced freely around me. One would sneak its way up my leg, then pose while I looked at its beauty.

It left me in awe. The sun was hung above to bathe me - the kind of refreshment that sinks into every tissue but then tingle you with a sprinkle of perspiration. I could feel ature smile at me, to see me enjoying Hi gift. I smiled back. Then the aura of peace, miles and stillne s left when a bird ang its song. Its gentle words were cnsp as they broke the air, but mooth and glo sy with an unbroken pattern. Then a choir of these angels sang together, and the world and these feelings all seemed natural and lazy enough that it could be like thi forever.

As I sat there I watched an ant carry a beatle across the ground and then di app ar through a door. The morning was very low and quiet. I started listening to noise in the distance, trying to picture what they went with. I picked up a rock and started to look at it. It sparkled in the sun like a diamond. I started thinking about chool, sports and other things. I sat there and thought for a long time.

When I'm in the barn it's very peaceful. You can hear mice running around, the cows chewing their cuds, the wind coming around the corner. It's better to go in there at night. Cows are sleeping, the cats are either feeding the kittens, or finding mice in the dark corners. On a still night, you can hear the cows talking to each other.

Accomplishments included squeaking out third place in the Homecoming Float competition, winning the Varsity Football Team's SOOth victory and carrying out that age-old tradition of excelling in studies first semester and totally goofing off during second semester .

The seniors were determined to make their last year at Central a very memorable one . Did they have the memorable and very illegal Senior Skip Day?

Question: What do you predict will be the effect on the nation of the Reagan administration?

Thomas Rae: I predict that the nation will still be here, if only geographically.

Tony Perucca: The Reagan administration will undoubtedly be one of great action. Tax cuts, federal job cuts, national defense stimulation and a strong executive branch are some of the results I expect. The great change to Reagan conservatism which will unfold in the next four years may be exactly what our country needs. Reagan is a seemingly fresh and confident president, and I expect beneficial results from the Reagan-Bush administration .

Alison Wild: I think that Reagan won't be able to make enough changes in four years that will affect (sic) the nation to any great degree .

He would have to be in office longer than four years to help this country in the state it is in now , and he probably couldn' t make it through another term in office .

Nick Berggren: People that glow in the dark and Nancy Reagan Designer Jeans.

John Tompkins: The Wall Street Journal says if Reagan carries out his economic plan, we ' ll have the worst monetary crunch ever. But none of us eighteen-year-old boys and girls care; the army pays well .

Docksides (or commonly called Topsides) are probably the most ridiculous type of shoe I've ever seen.

Outside a yearly trip to the family lake, the purpose of these shoes are (sic) totally neglected . For some reason, Docksides are associated with the high rung on the social ladder.

Question: Are you pessimistic or optimistic about the future and why?

Bruce Prothe: My opinion concerning the future would have to be described as " cautiously optimistic." Like most people my age, I am optimistic about my personal future . However, I realize that we face dangerous, very dangerous, times in the '80s. This is caused mainly by the fact that the U.S . is a " have-not" nation when it comes to many natural resources, and will be increasingly vulnerable to cartels as well as military intervention by those who are not friendly to us.

Our defense . Not since the early 1940' s has our country been so outclassed by our enemies . We did it to ourselves, too; during the 1970's, the Bear was pumping iron while the Eagle sat around and laid eggs. The sale

of high technology computers to the Soviets is not unlike a small child giving half his lunch to the class bully . o one should have been surprised when this technology mysteriously appeared in the Soviet military, despite their assurances to the contrary .

When one considers the alternatives, it is evident that democracy is worth protecting . I'm confident that this will be done .

Bill Schumacher: Pessimistic. I think that the future is getting dimmer, like entering a tunnel. What tunnel, I don't know . It could be the Hudson tunnel , which means our problems won't last long, or the English Channel Tunnel, which means we have 31 miles of bad coming up . I think we're going to go to war, yet don't think we' ll have (sic) any good out of it.

WWI brought us processed foods and WWII brought us Walter Winchell. It' s all so indicative .

Kyla Nelson: Optimistic Things can't get much worse .

David Fliegel: I'm always optimistic about the future because I have to live it.

John Campbell: I'm optimistic about the economy in the future. I hope that Reagan's plan does help the inflation rate and all other problems associated with the economy.

George Grubb: With Reagan at the helm , I feel totally optimistic about the subject of government control , stagnation of the dollar and social mobility.

Johanna Steinberg: Optimistic. I'm looking forward to going to school and making a lot of money.

Question: What do you feel was the most outstanding sports event this past year?

Gena Barenberg: The sports event most people will remember was the victory of the U .S. Hockey Team .

Whether you preferred to cheer the underdog, the home team, the winner, or by loyalty, it didn't matter; they were all rolled up into one .

America took almost a parental pride in the team which fulfilled the hopes so many people placed on it in lieu of the most outstanding sports event which, for us, didn't take place- the Summer Olympics .

That was my last game as a Champaign Central football player.

Scott Burkett: The Danville game and the game against Morton when we won our SOOth game. We are the only high school in the state of Illinois to have done that.

Question: What effect did the death of john Lennon and the ensuing controversy over gun control have on you?

Kyle Park: I loved him, he was great.

Kelli Millage: Whenever you hear of the murder of john Lennon, gun control is usually mentioned in the same breath. I feel that if the people are just now beginning to realize that guns available to the public are dangerous, then we have a problem . The fact that it took the murder of one of the world's most popular figures, plus the many more before him, is sad . Taking the life of a fellow human being seems to be easy for a lot of folks . Why make it any easier with the government 's flimsy gun control laws?

Donna Pierce: The way john Lennon was killed was cruel, but I feel that gun control would not have even mattered

to the murderer when it seemed to me that he would have taken revenge one way or the other On the way to school this morn1ng, I was behind a gun shop truck that had a bumper sticker on the back that promoted a truth on gun control. This is what it said: "If the holding of guns were outlawed, then the only ones that held a gun would be the outlaws."

Mark Millsap: I believe that there should be gun control. If a person wants to own a firearm, he/ she should go to a safety school and learn every aspect of the gun . He should know how to take the gun apart and put it together .

He/she should learn where to keep it safely where nobody else can get to it .

The person should have all licenses and common sense . He should be given some sort of test that tells if he is able

to own and use a gun and if he doesn't react badly and Impulsively to stress Situations.

Mike Redenbaugh: My feeling about gun control is that last year, 5,000 people were killed by hand guns and 3 white rats died of saccharin cancer.

Which one was banned? Think about it.

~ em tk ~ Question: What was the most significant national event that occurred during your high school years and why?

Rich Pace: There were several. When Iranians kidnap 98 (sic) Americans, what do we do? We really get mad .

We teach them a lesson; we sit on our cans and yell at them! Then the Russians invade Afghanistan and we teach them a lesson, too; Jimmy Carter calls Brezhnev and tells him that he is "gravely concerned" about the situation . Then Mr. Carter feels a little pressure, so he decides upon a top-secret rescue plan for the hostages : We'll use our well-trained, efficient, invincible commandoes to bust them out of Iran. They really demonstrated our combat readiness and mili-

tary superiority to the whole world!

We got those Soviets shaking in their combat boots! I feel the Soviets might start invading another country when they get done with Afghanistan .

Jill D. Pruemer: The most significant national event was the firing of emcee Bert Parks from his duty of hosting the Miss America pageant. It's about time that this 65-year-old man had his tongue and eyes put back into his head .

I'm sure that the entire universe will profit from this measure, and future queens such as Kelly LeGrande, who since her reign as Homecoming Queen is on her way to Miss Americanism, will appreciate the gorgeous new host, Ron Ely. Kelly LeGrande: I feel that the event

that was of the utmost importance during my h1gh school years was the anniversary of our very popular chocolate chip cookie. In my opinion, this event was highly neglected . This cookie's fiftieth birthday should have been celebrated with balloons and streamers . It ' s comforting to know that a few people such as Holly Jaycox took the appropriate measures in order to pay due respect to this wonderful cookie. Those of us who attended will never forget her inspiring Toll House Party.

Mindy Manolakes: It would have to be the day the American hostages were freed. I'll never forget it- it was the greatest news I'd ever heard .

Question: Why do you or highschoolers in general find it necessary to have jobs? lonnie Jolley: To have money for cars gives us something to do . Jobs also help us get us educated for the working world, something which school doesn't do a very good job at. Some people have a job so they can get away from home or their parents, maybe even for social status .

Jobs also give us money to buy extra clothes, save for college and help out around the house.

Scott Arnold: I find it necessary to have a steady flowing income because I don' t have to bug my parents for money which makes me feel more self-supportive (sic).

Ted Wolf: An average date costs $15 (including a McDonald's "dinner," a movie and popcorn). Unless a student has a tree sprouting cash on its branches, he has no opportunity to obtain money for more than one date per month . The price of entertainment is too high . People should either

raise wages or change McDonald's back to a haven for the indigent high schooler.

Angie Simpson: To prepare you for later life . Job experience . The main reason would be to save money for college.

Steve Berry: For myself and others, having a job has given me something to do as well as provided me with spending money. jobs give students a head start financially and perhaps educationally . By working, a student feels less attached to his parents, because he supports himself . A job gives a high school student a feeling of independence . It may even start him on his way toward a career. en1ors

JUNIORS PREP FOR PROM

"Being a junior meant that I only had two years left of school- this year and 1-finally-made-it year," joked Karen Bates. Actually, being a junior involved much more that Bates or the class realized .

Following tradition, the junior class was responsible for Prom, an event usually held on the third Saturday in May. The class prepared for the event by earning revenue through flower sales and concession stand sales. They also planned a T-shirt sale .

The profits were invested in the decorations it took to change Worden-Martin, usually a car showroom, into an elegant dance hall; the

profits also paid for the band . Parents of some juniors chaperoned the Prom while other juniors did their class duty by serving on the clean-up committee .

Phil Brunson, Junior Class President, said that the major function of the class officers was to keep the books and organize fund-raising events. One of the more rewarding activities that the officers got going was the idea for and the construction of the Junior Class Homecoming Float, "Devour Danville," an effort which resulted in a first place . Said Bates, "After all, the number one class deserves to get first place!"

Leap frog is a little much, even for a French class; but Karen Bates and Jennifer Cocagne will do " almost anything" to get the1r po1nt across during a game of charades The "Apple" of their eye is Central's new Apple II computer. Tim Hettinger, Chris Raymond, Martin Nel on, Glen Haegele and Erik Ensrud are busy see1ng JUSt what functions can be performed by Central's latest equipment addition .

NEWNESS WEARS AWAY Right in the middle of the four classes- not the youngest yet not the oldest- were the sophomores. They were no longer the "babies" of the school. While walking through the building and sitting in classes, they knew what was going to happenwhen the announcements would be read, what the blue, pink, and green slips the VOA's brought in were for and how to get to their lockers and then to class without being late- all knowledge they had reaped from

their first year at Central.

Using the knowledge gleaned from their first year at Central, the sophomores JUmped right into the spirit of things with a second place Homecoming Float and hall decorations for Beat Urbana Week . " I've always been interested in doing floats and other school activities," said Sue Langan, Sophomore Class President. Her organizational skills paid off for the 1981 Sophomore Class.

NOVICES GET INVOLVED Beginnings were never easy Sometimes, making transitions such as from home to kindergarten, moving to a new city or leaving junior high for high school were not only challenging but downright scary. Scary or not, most people lived through the transitions and were better people for having gone through them.

Demon !rating that interests other than academ1c one can b pursued at Central is Wilham hobe hobe IS also a member of Central's newly reJuvenated Art Club films and televi ion shows such as " Urban Cowboy" and " Dallas often exhib1t the1r influences 1n the halls of high schools around the nat1on Freshman Curt Jancola shows Junior Scott K1rby how to get With It

As a freshman, one was bombarded with new fears, emotions and especially activities. "Get involved," an enthusiastic recruiting slogan heard in high schools all over the country, quickly appeared in most of the freshman haunts Best of all, freshmen got involved. They registered to vote and then participated in school elections of all varieties . They made a Homecoming Float. They came in costume for the various dress-up days throughout the year "There are so many opportunities to take advantage of," commented Freshman Class President, Steve Thayer . "It's really a shame if you pass up what your own high school has to offer ." Susanne O'Reilly felt that making the float was the most outstanding class activity .

"Because of our class' participation and strong spirit, making the float was fun and very worthwhile," she said. "And so what if we did come in fourth place? We have three years to improve!"

Repre enting the new kid on the block and getting the1r f1rst taste of C ntral life are Freshman Class Officers Laura Kohut , Treasurer, Susanne O 'Reilly ecretary, teve Thayer, Pres1dent . and Jill Downey Vice-Pre 1dent

GREEN GETS GROWING

Ju t listen to all that jazz! Guest soloist Ron Dewar from the Un1vers1ty of Illinois fills Combes Gym w1th th total range of mus1c possible to play on a saxophone.

Green- the universal color of rejuvenated life. The color of spring. Grass was green, leaves were green, sports, vice-versa and life were all related to green What? Sports, vice-versa, and life related to green? Come on Yes, the green 1n sports was found on the play1ng surfaces where the athletes competed and practiced. The sports that were the focus of this season 1ncluded boys' and girls' track, boys' baseball and tennis and g1rls' softball. I.M softball was on deck for anyone who wanted to have fun and stay in shape.

The annual vice-versa dance, held in Combes Gym found the girls forking over the green in order to pay for a nice evening with their favorite guy .

"Celebration" was an appropriate theme for the mini-revolution involved in the girls asking the guys. A female ask1ng a male for a date? How ternble! It was simply unheard of. But the night of the vice-versa it was downright upright.

Why? Because Student Council sa1d so.

The evening began with the girls-treatthe-guys dinner in one of Champaign's fine dining establishments. Besides paying for dinner, the gals also had to pay for drinks from the bar (sans liquor, naturally) and they had to leave the t1p. "I really enjoyed be1ng w1th my favorite guy, Brian Davis, and the price of the dinner was no concern," smiled Roberta

Trimpe.

After dinner, the couples set their courses for the dance. They proceded to strut their stuff to the beat of top ten hits and golden oldies played by a D.).

As the beat rolled on, the girls continued to roll out the dough. In the corridor by Mr. Cabutti's office, a photographer captured the sp1rrt of the event for $5 per couple At 11:00, the students retired their dancing shoes for the evening and called it a night Some journeyed homeward.

Others frequented the familiar week-end party while still others sought out that "special place" where they could be alone w1th the1r date.

As for the green in life, 1t came in the shape of Mister Misties, Popsicles and long-stemmed carnations . Many ice cream carts pedaled about by the back of the school where spring-thirsty students rushed toward the vendors like students rushtng to pick up the1r yearbooks on the first day of delivery.

The beautiful spnng weather also had many negative effects, The green grass and flowers distracted every student, especially the sentors who termed their affliction "Sen1ontis." It was very contagious s1nce before the end of the year the whole student body was suffenng from either junioritis, sophomorrt1s or freshmanitis Jingling bell on ice cream urts always attract a crowd on a hot ~pnng day. The record d h1gh for spnng 1981 wa 95 .

PLAIDS COLOR PLAY Passion, suspense and comedy was what this year ' s musical , Brigadoon brought to its audiences. In the highlands of the Little Theater, Mr. Don Decker, Mr. Ken Krejci, the choirs, the orchestra and a double cast presented the musical classic on April 8, 9, 10, amd 11, at 7:30 p.m.

The story of Brigadoon brought laughter that filled the theater and joy that filled the hearts of the people who watched. It was the story of two young men who stumbled on a lost city named Brigadoon, a city which, according to lore, only appeared once every one hundred years. One of the young men met and fell in love with a beautiful girl named Fiona . He professed his love for her and longed to stay, but he decided that he really didn't fit into Brigadoon's society. Consequently, he returned to his "Come ye to the f.1ir" are the word to the song whtch ftll the atr as jan tewert, J tea Lewts, Sue Donaghy, )til Trtezenberg and Suste Vermette call the townspeople to come JOtn tn the fun

New York home. Lonely and depressed, he knew that the girl of his dreams was Fiona- a girl that he might never see again. Thanks to fate, his wishes came true . Love prevailed and Brigadoon reappeared in the valley where he had gone to mourn his lost love.

Tammy Bourgois, a mid-year graduate who saw the show, stated, " It was thrilling and I even cried when it ended."

Kelli Millage , who played Fiona on Thursday and Saturday, commented, " I felt that it was a privilege to participate in a show of this caliber, and I was hapPY that the school enjoyed it."

After all the hard work and extra effort, it was sad to strike the set after just four nights, but the audience acclaim more than made up for all the hard work. The combined efforts of the singer/ actors, chorus, make-up crew, set crew, costume designers and orchestra made the show what the people who worked on it proclaimed it to be"Great!"

It was the story of Hildy Johnson, a reporter , who was leaving his paper to get married but was delayed when a big story came up and he was the only one on the job. A man who was about to be hanged had escaped, so Hildy found him and hid him in a roll-top desk in the press room in order to get an exclusive story. The entire play took place on one evening in the press room of the Criminal Courts building in Chicago.

The cast had a real challenge in that they had only four weeks to pull the show together. The tryouts had to be delayed until after the spring musical was over because so many students in the musical wanted to be in the play. Bill Schumacher was especially needed since it was his job to get props and costumes which would make the 1920's set look authentic; but he, too, was involved in the musical. The cast barely had their lines down by the first performance, but the second night, everything fell together and everyone was pleased.

Mr. James Seay, drama director, felt that the seniors "left on a high note which they can always be proud of."

The closing of the play was sadder than usual for many cast members because they had to say good-bye to elly icholson who had been visiting from England for one year. She had been in all the drama productions and had made many Thespian friends .

As the play closed, Mr. Seay was asked to state his feelings about such a hurriedly-put-together production . He responded with these lines from "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns: "Backwards, oh, I cast my eye on many a prospect drear, and toward the future can but guess and fear."

FORMAL TIME IS BEST May 16. 5 o'clock . The evening was cool and clear skies promrsed a starry night. Many Central jur)iors and seniors were busily preparing for an exciting evening of dinner, dance and romance .

This was the night the students had looked forward to all year- Prom.

For most, dinner began between 7:30 and 8 :30 . Couples could be found around town either at area restaurants or at various dinner parties. After dining

(wtthout the wining, of course), the couples headed toward the dance.

Prom lasted from 9-12. Couples strutted to the band "Alive Again". The popular hit by Styx, "The Best of Times" highlighted the evening and provided the theme for the Prom . For the first in many years, a Prom King and Queen were elected . Dave Gardner and Kris Griffith were the recipients of this honor.

SLEEPY STUDENTS SPAWN SP¡ARES Do you think you would have a hard time convincing your parents to let you stay out all night on a date? Yes? There was one night when they would probably have said " O .K " because everybody did it. The excuse for this usually totally unacceptable behavior was Post Prom.

Pool, dancing to the beat of the "Vertebrats" and bowling provided the entertainment at Western Bowl in the early morning hours of May 17. A coldcut smorgasbord was also available for those who preferred to eat rather than sleep. At 4 a.m., many students adjourned to an early breakfast. Others went home to try to grab a few hours sleep before taking off on what turned out to be some rather soggy picnics.

ADULTHOOD LOOMS FOR GRADS " We have seen many changes- a new elevator, a new principal and even the SOOth win in our football history."

Sarah Beberman, a graduating senior and the speaker at commencement, spoke proudly of the Class of '81 . Thursday, June 4, 1981 marked the end of a fouryear career in high school and the beginning of, as Beberman put it, "dreaded adulthood."

The seniors rehearsed from 1 to 3 in the afternoon and returned at 7 p.m. for the actual ceremony. The evening commenced with music from the Concert Band, the traditional processional, "Pomp and Circumstance ." Class President Gail Gruber then gave the "Class Welcome " and served as master of ceremonies for the evening. Other performers and speakers included the

Chamber and Swing Choirs and their rendition of Carmina Burana (theme song from the recent movie Excalibur) and President of the University of Illinois Dr. Stanley 0 . Ikenberry who gave the commencement address.

The moment for which the Seniors had been waiting for four years came to pass at 8:13 p.m. when the first diploma was handed to Melinda Abbey and concluded about twenty minutes later with Laura Young.

The evening was concluded with a benediction by Reverend Arlan Mennmga and the recessional of the new alumni . Caps and gowns were returned to the maze of tunnels under the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the grads departed for get-togethers with family and friends .

RUNNERS SLOWED BY RENOV AliONS According to Coach Paul Quinlan, it was a good season for the Girls' Track Team. The resurfacing of the track at Unit 4 Field made the a schedule little light, but Quinlan commented that the highlight of the season was beating Mattoon in order to win the conference.

Quinlan awarded the status of Most Valuable Player to Renae Cook who contributed greatly to the team's accomplishments. The standouts of the season included placing second at District and third at the Urbana Invitational. The overall record was 5 and 2.

It was not the best of years for the Boys' Track and Field Team . There were some individual standouts, however, which helped to offset an otherwise lackluster season.

Vince Pickens worked consistently in the shot-put competition; Pickens, along with teammates Timo Mostert and Neil Wilkie, advanced to State. Mostert ran the two-mile and Wilkie competed in the triple-jump event. Pickens threw well over fifty feet all season .

Although sprinting events didn't measure up to par this year, the long distance runners kept the team strong .

Coach Gene Ward and the returning members of the team expressed the hope that next year would be better.

When asked to comment, junior Todd Oliver said, " We should be great next year."

RACQUETERS RALLY FOR STATE For the love of. . .tennis. That was why twelve young men went out for the team. Love was what it took to get the successful season that this years ' team produced .

With a season record of 11 wins and 2 losses, the season was climaxed by winning the title at the Danville District Tournament. The doubles team of Matt Kenney and Bob Feldman won third place in the district tournament giving the Maroons the half point needed to edge Danville and Urbana for the team championship. It also qualified the team for the state finals.

Peter Bouton wrapped up his high school tennis career in a smashing fashion. Bouton led the team at the number one singles spot. He went undefeated through many matches until he was finally defeated at State.

Coach Bob Bennett was extremely pleased with the fact that the entire team qualified for State. He added, "It was a pretty solid team from #1 to #6 in singles."

Here comes the ball and Peter Bouton has his eye on 11. He hows what 1s needed to make 1t to State finals and become a district champ1on Obviou ly not hindered by tennis elbow, Matt Kenney follows through his forehand w1th great ease

DIAMOND GIRLS ENGAGE IN SOFTBALL "ER. That's our team motto, " remarked Kris Stauffer with a smirk. Evidently, that succinct little word provided quite a bit of inspiration since the Girls' Softball team made it all the way to Sectionals.

"ER" wasn't all the girls needed to reach their goals. Strong defense was probably the most important aspect of the team according to several of the team members. Unity also played a big part in the teams' success. The players interviewed insisted on giving most of the credit to Coach ancy Paterson.

In any event, the combination of defense, good coaching and unity brought about the downfall of arch-rival Centennial which led to the regional championship. Although the team was stopped in the sectional competition, the girls argued that they should not have let the game get away. "We should have gone further. We just had a bad first inning," Stauffer commented.

ROOKIES RAKE IN EXPERIENCE "They were a hard-working team with a lot to learn. They did their best. I couldn't have asked for more," said Varsity Baseball Coach Charlie Due at the end of the '81 season.

Although the team was young and inexperienced, they finished with a 9-8 record which included one win over cross-town rival, Urbana.

"The leadership of John Walker and Dave Buckles was what I thought was the major strength of the team," said junior Dennis Stahl, who added that the Urbana games stood out in his mind more than any others.

The 1981 team gained new uniforms this year, but it was the loss of only three graduating seniors which prompted optimistic Chad Little to say, " We were young, but next year, with the experience, we ought to be tough."

1M'S SPLIT INTO TWO " Play Ball!" shouted Mr. Charles Evans, faculty sponsor of the I.M . Softball League. And play ball they did. So many of them, in fact, that this year, for the first time, two leagues of five teams each were formed . The White League was comprised of freshmen and sophomore players and they competed on Tuesday nights. The Maroon League was for junior and senior players; their games were on Thursday nights.

Both leagues played at South side school and both gathered a fair following of blanket and folding chair fans .

Placing first, second and third place respectively in the Maroon League were Fabulous Freebirds, Softballs and Greater Downtown Food and Beverage Company. The win, place and show positions in the White League went to Jamatron, Up and Coming and Rainbow Connection .

When asked to comment on I.M .

Softball competition, Darien Sides, Captain of Greater Downtown Food and Beverage, stated, "I.M. Softball is a lot of fun and is a great chance to be competitive with others."
