Let us now take a look at our school, <strong>the</strong> people and what it has become. The<br />

clocks have been set back. Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ground where our school building now<br />

stands was covered with water in <strong>the</strong> spring and in <strong>the</strong> fall. Wild geese in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

journeys north and south stopped at <strong>the</strong>se ponds. A great many tame geese were<br />

raised in We<strong>the</strong>rsfield at this time. Geese became plentiful and were frequently<br />

seen in <strong>the</strong> ponds on <strong>the</strong> commons. The men <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> times were proud <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

geese ponds, thus <strong>the</strong>y nicknamed our school <strong>the</strong> "Home <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Flying Geese."<br />

They established ideals by which we were to live. The goose symbolizes loyalty,<br />

purity (goose is pure white) and it also signifies industry (a goose flies ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

than using its feet). Today, <strong>the</strong> flying geese use <strong>the</strong>ir own wings to achieve<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir ultimate goals.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> years, our school has become more than a building; it has become a<br />

group <strong>of</strong> people united in a common goal--to learn. The spirit has been kept<br />

alive by a group <strong>of</strong> individuals having distinct personalities, each living, looking,<br />

learning, talking and walking in his own way. These individuals are participants,<br />

spectators, leaders, dreamers, followers, givers, receivers and doers.<br />

WHS reflects <strong>the</strong> characters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se people.<br />

The day has begun. The day has dawned and we are awakened. We sacrifice<br />

<strong>the</strong> peacefulness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> night to busy ourselves at gaining knowledge.<br />

We are awakened to a new age at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> school year, August 28.<br />

Til <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> school year, June 3,--we adapt ourselves to this age.<br />

Each day we arrive at school before <strong>the</strong> ringing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bell at 8:25. Our first<br />

steps are down <strong>the</strong> halls to our classrooms. Oh, <strong>of</strong> only <strong>the</strong>se halls could tell <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> many unwritten memories <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> times <strong>the</strong>y have become chaotic. These<br />

halls are filled with laughter and happy talk, friends, fun. We walk <strong>the</strong>se halls<br />

many times throughout <strong>the</strong> day while going from classroom to classroom, building<br />

to building. Our personalities carry us to band, chorus, participating in<br />

Homecoming, Christmas, and AFS week festivities. We participate in plays,<br />

dances and Prom.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> us notice what is happening around us--o<strong>the</strong>rs merely exist. Some realize<br />

that today is today and now is now. Some take <strong>the</strong> responsibilities <strong>of</strong><br />

adulthood and grow wiser day by day.<br />

Some go through life smiling while o<strong>the</strong>rs are frowning.<br />

Some have found <strong>the</strong>mselves--<strong>the</strong>y know what <strong>the</strong>y want and <strong>the</strong>y're reaching<br />

out to achieve <strong>the</strong>ir goals. They voice <strong>the</strong>ir opinions about life. They talk<br />

about war, poverty, communism, <strong>the</strong> generation gap, while o<strong>the</strong>rs merely talk<br />

about boys, girls, last night's homework, Friday night's game, or a dance.<br />

Some begin to see clearly as <strong>the</strong>y acquire a quantity <strong>of</strong> knowledge and share it<br />

with o<strong>the</strong>rs. Time hasn't run out. Some create new traditions at <strong>the</strong> dawn <strong>of</strong> this<br />

new decade. Shadows now begin to fall. Time flies quickly--stopping for no one.<br />

Time seems to slow for <strong>the</strong> underclassmen, while time seems too short for <strong>the</strong><br />

Seniors and <strong>the</strong>re is no time for those who do not care.<br />

It's funny, but around <strong>the</strong>se walls still lies <strong>the</strong> spirit <strong>of</strong> We<strong>the</strong>rsfield, which was<br />

built on a foundation <strong>of</strong> education, hope, faith, and understanding, which is now<br />

firmly established by <strong>the</strong> leadership and untiring efforts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> administration.<br />

With <strong>the</strong>ir guidance we have obtained <strong>the</strong> knowledge necessary to enable us to<br />

take a big step into <strong>the</strong> future.<br />

Through life let's join hands, as we take our step--as we journey as bro<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />

Let's all strive for peace in this new age. Share <strong>the</strong> years last warmness with<br />

all.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> close <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> day, at <strong>the</strong> close <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year, as <strong>the</strong> sun sets slowly in <strong>the</strong><br />

west, we have memories <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> friendly rivalry between classes, <strong>of</strong> our victories<br />

and losses, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> organizations which prepare us for <strong>the</strong> demanding society, <strong>the</strong><br />

activities which have brought us close toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>of</strong> graduation, and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> established<br />

traditions which make our school great now and at <strong>the</strong> dawn <strong>of</strong> a new<br />

decade.<br />

1970-71 was a successful year at<br />

W.H.S. thanks to <strong>the</strong> many efforts <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> administration. Many times Mr.<br />

Fraser, our superintendent and Mr.<br />

Pillen and Mr. Brownf ield, our principal<br />

and assistant principal have<br />

walked, talked and learned right<br />

along with <strong>the</strong> students. They have<br />

helped us, guided us, and disciplined<br />

us when we needed it.<br />

Working with our administration, <strong>the</strong><br />

school board helped bring important<br />

changes into <strong>the</strong> school. One such<br />

change enjoyed by <strong>the</strong> student body<br />

was <strong>the</strong> relaxation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dress code.<br />

Our guidance counselor, Mr. Balsis,<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered valuable advice to our students<br />

concerning <strong>the</strong>ir courses <strong>of</strong><br />

study and <strong>the</strong>ir futures.<br />

Mrs. Jackson, <strong>the</strong> high school secretary<br />

and Mrs. Holtschult, <strong>the</strong> superintendent's<br />

secretary, assisted tremendously<br />

in making <strong>the</strong> year run<br />

smoothly.<br />

Kick-<strong>of</strong>f Homecoming Festivities<br />

Homecoming 1970--An overcast day that turned to glorious, an outstanding<br />

team ready for <strong>the</strong> big game, and four prize-winning floats that no Homecoming<br />

parade has been complete without.<br />

1st place went to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> '71 with "Geese Pack Punch Power." 2nd place<br />

went to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> '72 with "As a Ram Led to Slaughter" and 3rd place went<br />

to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> '74 with "Ram Chops Tonite." The <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> '73 earned an<br />

honorable mention with "A Sheer Disaster for <strong>the</strong> Rams."<br />

The Geese Are Victorious<br />

Game<br />

On Thursday, October 8, Homecoming,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Western Rams met <strong>the</strong>ir match, The<br />

We<strong>the</strong>rsfield Flying Geese. The spirit<br />

was high as <strong>the</strong> Geese charged onto <strong>the</strong><br />

field, even though three <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir fellow<br />

teammates could not participate in <strong>the</strong><br />

game itself. Mick Peed, Rick Wonser,<br />

and Eddie Toliver were those out for <strong>the</strong><br />

night!<br />

Even so, all were very much a part <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> night. Before starting <strong>the</strong>ir exercises,<br />

each member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> football squad jogged<br />

over to <strong>the</strong> endline, where Mick<br />

Peed sat in Mr. Brownfield's station<br />

wagon and shook his hand. Mick was out<br />

for <strong>the</strong> season with a dislocated hip. The<br />

fans were moved by <strong>the</strong> team's expression<br />

<strong>of</strong> friendship.<br />

Rick Wonser was seen cheering his team<br />

on from <strong>the</strong> sidelines because he was out<br />

with a dislocated shoulder. Eddie Toliver,<br />

out with a head injury, was seen as<br />

he kissed <strong>the</strong> Queen.<br />

The Geese played with such tremendous<br />

agility that <strong>the</strong> fans knew it was <strong>the</strong><br />

best Homecoming ever. The score reflected<br />

this.<br />

Now listen boys! If you can't play<br />

nicely with each o<strong>the</strong>r . . .<br />

Cheerleaders?<br />

"The Many Loves <strong>of</strong> Dobie Gillis<br />

When Helen asked Dobie for help, he should have started running in <strong>the</strong> opposite<br />

direction. Unfortunately, Helen is so attractive that <strong>the</strong> thought never<br />

occurs to him, which causes many humorous complications for <strong>the</strong> school<br />

dance, nice little Bonnie, who's trying to help Dobie, <strong>the</strong> lovely Helen, herself,<br />

and last but not least, <strong>the</strong> well-known and engaging Dobie Gillis.<br />

That's just a brief synopsis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Juniors hilarious play. It is a three-act<br />

comedy and was presented on Saturday, November 14. The cast, which follows,<br />

Don Wooten at <strong>the</strong> Drug Assembly<br />

Why do you think <strong>the</strong>y call it Dope?<br />

Don Wooten, and o<strong>the</strong>rs spoke at<br />

We<strong>the</strong>rsfield to give <strong>the</strong> students an<br />

insight to drugs. Various varieties <strong>of</strong><br />

drugs and what effects <strong>the</strong>y had on<br />

<strong>the</strong> users were discussed. Samples and<br />

pictures <strong>of</strong> results were shown. What<br />

happens if you do get hooked?<br />

Methods were given on how to get<br />

cured or how you would be treated if<br />

you were caught. We hope that this<br />

has discouraged any possible drug<br />

users and knocked a little sense into<br />

those that already do. Just remember<br />

this--It is real "cool" to say yes, but<br />

it takes a little "guts" to say no<br />

stood a magnificent display <strong>of</strong><br />

We<strong>the</strong>rsfield High School<br />

Student Council strived this year to<br />

promote better communication between<br />

<strong>the</strong> students and administration.<br />

Through Student Council's efforts, <strong>the</strong><br />

girls at WHS are now wearing slacks,<br />

students and faculty are enjoying <strong>the</strong><br />

new pop machine, and channels have<br />

been opened for talks to improve<br />

curriculum for <strong>the</strong> benefit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> students.<br />

The adoption <strong>of</strong> a foster child,<br />

Leticia Hernandez <strong>of</strong> Mexico, was also<br />

a highlight <strong>of</strong> S.C.'s activities. The<br />

council sponsored a beautiful Homecoming<br />

and put money in <strong>the</strong> treasury<br />

with a lovely Turnabout too. A.F.S.<br />

Week proved to be exciting and<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>itable and provided S.C. with<br />

money to again bring ano<strong>the</strong>r A.F.S.<br />

student to We<strong>the</strong>rsfield and sponsor<br />

an American Abroad. Though Student<br />

Council tried to be a beneficial organization,<br />

many times it struggled<br />

against student apathy and disinterest<br />

and sometimes lost sight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> goals<br />

for which it was intended. All in all,<br />

Student Council remains <strong>the</strong> voice <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> students and provides <strong>the</strong> needed<br />

"bridge" between students and faculty.


Students Today—Secretaries Tomorrow<br />

1970-71 Future Secretaries<br />

The WHS-KHS Chapter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Future<br />

Secretaries Association is a combined<br />

effort with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong> Chapter <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> National Secretaries Association<br />

(N.S.A.). The N.S.A. ladies, with <strong>the</strong><br />

help <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> F.S.A. <strong>of</strong>ficers and <strong>the</strong><br />

sponsors, (Mr. Myers <strong>of</strong> WHS, and Mr.<br />

Bartlett <strong>of</strong> KHS)', plan <strong>the</strong> monthly<br />

programs and activities. Some annual<br />

events that are included are: a formal<br />

candlelight initiation, a Christmas<br />

party for younger children, a program<br />

on modeling and hair styling, and<br />

talks about secretarial positions.<br />

Ah, So! Grenda Glove, girl secretary!<br />

Deb knows how to please <strong>the</strong> boss.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> March meeting, <strong>the</strong> preliminary<br />

contest for <strong>the</strong> annual "Miss<br />

Future Secretary," contest took place.<br />

Mrs. Bodine, a legal secretary, set up<br />

a legal court disposition situation. As<br />

<strong>the</strong> witnesses gave <strong>the</strong>ir testimony in<br />

rapid-fire dialogue, <strong>the</strong> F.S.A. girls<br />

took down as much as <strong>the</strong>y could in<br />

shorthand. They <strong>the</strong>n transcribed<br />

from <strong>the</strong>ir notes on <strong>the</strong> typewriter.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> April meeting, <strong>the</strong> finalists<br />

went before a group <strong>of</strong> interviewers,<br />

who gave <strong>the</strong>m questions pertaining<br />

to secretarial positions. The winner<br />

was Debi Wolf, from WHS.<br />

The F.S.A. year was closed out with<br />

a trip to a business <strong>of</strong>fice and a<br />

banquet, treating <strong>the</strong> seniors. Debi<br />

Wolf, served as a very capable,<br />

earnest president.


Hearts and Hands Toge<strong>the</strong>r—AFS<br />

Mauro raises <strong>the</strong> Italian flag over<br />

WHS<br />

AFS opens doors which lead to understanding and friendship among <strong>the</strong> peoples<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world. Through <strong>the</strong>se doors pass students from 61 countries who come to<br />

America for a year <strong>of</strong> study and firsthand experience, as well as American<br />

teenagers from nearly every state to study and live abroad--a two way program<br />

<strong>of</strong> seeing and showing. <strong>In</strong> this way, young citizens <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world learn to appreciate<br />

and to respect <strong>the</strong> similarities and differences <strong>of</strong> people, who, though,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y live in different countries, have dreams and efforts similarly directed<br />

toward <strong>the</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> a peaceful and useful life.<br />

Mauro Mase^is We<strong>the</strong>rsfield's AFS student this year from Trieste, Italy. Mauro<br />

has been a special part <strong>of</strong> WHS with his sense <strong>of</strong> humor and talent in enlivening<br />

<strong>the</strong> activities he takes an interest in. He has enlightened us on life and customs<br />

in Italy and makes WHS a better place just by being here.<br />

Joyce Webb was We<strong>the</strong>rsfield's American Abroad last summer to Istanbul, Turkey.<br />

She gave us a new look at an unusual and fascinating culture. Next year's<br />

semi-finalists for <strong>the</strong> Americans Abroad Program are Chuck Clark and Lynn<br />

Huffman.<br />

AFS is a door which is open for us to learn about foreign lands through our AFS<br />

student and our American Abroad student. By opening our hearts and our minds<br />

to <strong>the</strong> wonderful things we can learn by sharing, we can keep this door open for<br />

generations to come.<br />

AFS Students Tell <strong>of</strong><br />

My home in Turkey<br />

Cam Sokak No. 24, Emirgan, Istanbul,<br />

Turkey was to become my home<br />

for two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most wonderful months<br />

<strong>of</strong> my life. I lived with <strong>the</strong> Embiya<br />

Behri family and had one sister, 16,<br />

Cigdem (which means Crocus in<br />

Turkish). My family was very affectionate<br />

and I felt like one <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>m from <strong>the</strong> very beginning. My<br />

parents didn't speak English so we<br />

communicated in French and Turkish<br />

(though my Turkish is very weak!)<br />

My sister spoke very good English<br />

and we became very close. My family<br />

was very insistent that I learn as<br />

much as I could about Istanbul and<br />

<strong>the</strong> Turkish customs so we went sightseeing<br />

a lot and I was very fortunate<br />

to see <strong>the</strong> famous Sultan Ahmet<br />

Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and even<br />

Mt. Olympus. Turkey is a Moslem<br />

country and learning about <strong>the</strong> religion<br />

was one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most fascinating<br />

aspects <strong>of</strong> my stay <strong>the</strong>re. Listening<br />

to <strong>the</strong> "call" from <strong>the</strong> minarets<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mosques five times a day was<br />

a rewarding but sometimes tiring experience<br />

(<strong>the</strong> first call was 4:30 in<br />

<strong>the</strong> morning!)<br />

I found most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Turkish customs<br />

very pleasant—like not wearing shoes<br />

in <strong>the</strong> house and "taking tea" around<br />

5:00 in <strong>the</strong> evening. But some, <strong>of</strong><br />

course, were not so pleasant—like<br />

eating sheep's stomach and yogurt.<br />

I lived on a high bluff overlooking<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bosphorus, which is <strong>the</strong> body <strong>of</strong><br />

water that separates Europe from<br />

Asia. The wea<strong>the</strong>r was very hot and<br />

dry and it never rained during <strong>the</strong><br />

two months I was <strong>the</strong>re except on <strong>the</strong><br />

day I left. This lack <strong>of</strong> rain didn't<br />

discourage <strong>the</strong> farmers from growing<br />

really delicious fruits and vegetables<br />

though.<br />

Istanbul is really a beautiful combination<br />

<strong>of</strong> old eastern culture and western<br />

modernism. This can be shown by<br />

<strong>the</strong> extremes in clothing—women in<br />

<strong>the</strong> mosques covered from head to<br />

toe in black with only <strong>the</strong>ir eyes<br />

showing and some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wildest<br />

maxis I've ever seen.<br />

The Sultan Ahmet Mosque<br />

My Turkish Family<br />

My summer in Turkey was something<br />

I'll never ever forget and I want to<br />

thank <strong>the</strong> We<strong>the</strong>rsfield A.F.S. Chapter<br />

for giving me <strong>the</strong> opportunity to<br />

live and learn in a foreign country.<br />

Their Unique Experiences<br />

I arrived in <strong>Kewanee</strong> on <strong>the</strong> 21st erf<br />

August and encountered a completely<br />

new world to explore. Now I am a<br />

new person, ready to understand and<br />

associate with people.<br />

I come from Trieste, a port <strong>of</strong> more<br />

than 300,000 inhabitants, located in<br />

<strong>the</strong> right upper corner <strong>of</strong> Italy, very<br />

close to <strong>the</strong> Yugoslavian border and<br />

not far from Venice. My fa<strong>the</strong>r is<br />

employed at <strong>the</strong> Central Post Office<br />

<strong>of</strong> Trieste. He used to play soccer<br />

and now he is also a soccer coach.<br />

My mo<strong>the</strong>r works too, and this is not<br />

very common in an Italian family.<br />

She is a typist and stenographer for a<br />

syndicate. <strong>In</strong> <strong>Kewanee</strong>, I live with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Allen Livek family. Since <strong>the</strong><br />

beginning, <strong>the</strong>y have always treated<br />

me like a son. <strong>In</strong> Italy, I am <strong>the</strong><br />

only child, but here I experienced<br />

having two bro<strong>the</strong>rs—Brad, a senior<br />

and Aaron, a sixth grader.<br />

My school in Trieste has more than a<br />

thousand students and is called <strong>the</strong><br />

"Guglielmo Oberdan Scientific High<br />

School." We go to high school for<br />

five years, so when I go back I'll<br />

have one more year to complete.<br />

After that I plan to go to <strong>the</strong> University--possibly<br />

<strong>the</strong> one in Pisa, to<br />

study Physics and Ma<strong>the</strong>matics, since<br />

I like <strong>the</strong>se subjects very much.<br />

Traveling has always been my passion,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> only big chance I had to<br />

travel was with <strong>the</strong> AFS program.<br />

Can you imagine how different <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />

is from Trieste? <strong>In</strong> my country,<br />

life is slower, <strong>the</strong> language is<br />

completely different, and <strong>the</strong>re are<br />

different rules like—no curfew and<br />

no drinking age, or eighteen yearolds<br />

driving. However, now I can say<br />

that getting adjusted to <strong>the</strong>se big<br />

changes has helped me <strong>the</strong> most.<br />

Making new friends at W.H.S, and<br />

having fun with <strong>the</strong> Flying Geese<br />

have been unforgettable experiences.<br />

All <strong>the</strong> anxieties and joys I have had<br />

in <strong>Kewanee</strong> will mean a lot to me<br />

for a long, long time.<br />

My Italian Family<br />

My AmerjEati .Family<br />

The most important thing I learned<br />

is that I finally realized that people<br />

are basically <strong>the</strong> same all over <strong>the</strong><br />

world. Obviously, <strong>the</strong>re are differences<br />

in <strong>the</strong> ways <strong>of</strong> living, but <strong>the</strong>se<br />

differences are not important. When<br />

you talk about different countries,<br />

don't say life is better here than <strong>the</strong>re<br />

(it is never better or worse) but simply<br />

say that some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> customs are<br />

not <strong>the</strong> same. This is <strong>the</strong> key everybody<br />

needs to reach <strong>the</strong> main AFS<br />

idea and purpose. "Walk toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

talk toge<strong>the</strong>r, oh ye people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

world and <strong>the</strong>n and only <strong>the</strong>n shall<br />

we live in peace."<br />

French Club spent <strong>the</strong> larger part <strong>of</strong><br />

this year reorganizing its attitudes and<br />

priorities and adjusting to its new<br />

sponsor. This year <strong>the</strong> club directed<br />

its efforts toward learning about <strong>the</strong><br />

country <strong>of</strong> France, <strong>the</strong> French people<br />

and <strong>the</strong>ir customs, and French culture.<br />

French Club did, however, hold such<br />

social functions as <strong>the</strong> get-acquainted<br />

cookout early in <strong>the</strong> year, a dance<br />

later in <strong>the</strong> year for members and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir guests, and <strong>the</strong> annual club dinner.<br />

Club members also widened <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

horizons by spending an evening learning<br />

about Turkey from Joyce Webb,<br />

soaking up <strong>the</strong> flavor <strong>of</strong> Italy from<br />

Mauro Mase, and "seeing <strong>the</strong> sights"<br />

<strong>of</strong> Europe as Miss Morrissey showed<br />

slides <strong>of</strong> her trips abroad. French Club<br />

members climaxed <strong>the</strong>ir year by passing<br />

along some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir knowledge<br />

(simple French phrases and songs) to<br />

<strong>the</strong> first and second grade children in<br />

<strong>the</strong> elementary school.


Extra, Extra, Read All About It<br />

Quack had a moderately successful year publishing<br />

nine regular editions and a Homecoming flyer. <strong>In</strong><br />

November, six Quack members attended a High<br />

School Newspaper Workshop at Bradley University.<br />

There, <strong>the</strong> editors learned to come down from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

"ivory towers," sports writers learned to include <strong>the</strong><br />

SCORE in <strong>the</strong>ir reports, and society writers learned<br />

that "if you want to get boys to wear socks, you<br />

should be subtle."<br />

<strong>In</strong>spired by <strong>the</strong>ir trip to Bradley, <strong>the</strong> editors held a<br />

workshop for <strong>the</strong> whole Quack staff and were rewarded<br />

with a much-improved December edition.<br />

"Oh, was <strong>the</strong>re a Quack work session last night?"<br />

"When are we going over to Sandy's?" "You'll have<br />

to re-type this; <strong>the</strong> machine wasn't on stencil." "Sorry<br />

your article got left out; we accidentally lost it."<br />

"Can one <strong>of</strong> you artists do a heading for TIPS FROM<br />

TRIESTE?" "Quack word sessions were harried, hurried,<br />

mind-bending, and just plain exhausting sometimes,<br />

but always FUN ! "<br />

Sponsored by Miss Beck and edited by Joyce Webb and<br />

Barb Toepke, Quack reached its goal many times--<br />

pleasing its readers.

"Quack Work Session"


The Best Memories <strong>of</strong> Today<br />

The Green Quill organized its new<br />

staff, and contracted <strong>the</strong> American<br />

Yearbook Company, in order to have<br />

a better, more interesting annual this<br />

year.<br />

The quill editors, sponsor, and selected<br />

staff members attended a yearbook<br />

workshop at Augustana College<br />

early in <strong>the</strong> year. At this workshop,<br />

<strong>the</strong> staff learned new techniques in<br />

journalism for laying-out pages in<br />

three columns, how to write interesting<br />

copy, and how to capture unique<br />

scenes through photography.<br />

Trying out some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se new ideas,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Quill staff got to work putting toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir book with long hours <strong>of</strong><br />

hard work and diligent help from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

sponsor.<br />

To raise funds to finance <strong>the</strong> Quill,<br />

<strong>the</strong> members sponsored a Halloween<br />

dance, a successful faculty basketball<br />

game, and a big candy sale. With <strong>the</strong><br />

money obtained through soliciting <strong>Kewanee</strong><br />

Businesses and yearbook subscriptions,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Quill had a good year<br />

financially.<br />

The Quill Staff sincerely hopes you<br />

enjoy this yearbook and will treasure<br />

it always for <strong>the</strong> memories it holds <strong>of</strong><br />

our high school days.

We<strong>the</strong>rsfield <strong>Library</strong> Club members<br />

volunteer <strong>the</strong>ir services to keep our<br />

libraries in running, workable order.<br />

Many new members have joined this<br />

year but we hope to increase <strong>the</strong> enrollment<br />

in <strong>the</strong> following years to<br />

come. Qualifications are only that<br />

you are a slight book worm, and have<br />

a willingness to work during your free<br />

time. Goals for <strong>the</strong> club were set early<br />

in <strong>the</strong> year. Social activities included<br />

an initiation party where <strong>the</strong> new<br />

member had an assigned job for a<br />

week that pertained to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Library</strong>, a<br />

banquet for club members, and a<br />

visit to <strong>the</strong> Black Hawk East <strong>Library</strong>.<br />

We also had a Christmas party, and a<br />

picnic for <strong>the</strong> Jr. High Librarians. National<br />

<strong>Library</strong> Week is advertized<br />

widely with eye catching bulletin<br />

boards, new book covers, and colorful<br />

book markers. Much service to <strong>the</strong><br />

students is given by our faithful <strong>Library</strong><br />

Club sponsor, Mrs. Murphy. The<br />

main purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>Library</strong> Club is to develop<br />

leadership, personality, and<br />

good citizenship through service to<br />

our schools.<br />

Round Ball Season Is a<br />

A streak <strong>of</strong> lightning seemed to<br />

form and flash across <strong>the</strong> WHS<br />

gym this season. WHS B-Ball<br />

took on a new shape in <strong>the</strong><br />

1970-71 campaign. The fast<br />

break brought a new life and<br />

style to WHS. An exciting<br />

brand <strong>of</strong> rbund ball action and<br />

an outstanding <strong>of</strong>fensive threat<br />

had emerged. (2nd in team <strong>of</strong>fense<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Blackhawk Conference).<br />

Coach Wally Keller and his<br />

geese held many a fan on <strong>the</strong><br />

edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir seats with sparkling<br />

performances.<br />

By <strong>the</strong> way, THAT FLASH was<br />

Oar Smiling Trackettes<br />

"First call for <strong>the</strong> two-mile relay, all<br />

runners report to <strong>the</strong> starting line at<br />

once ! " This familiar call Is heard<br />

throughout <strong>the</strong> many track meets to<br />

get <strong>the</strong> running events going. Trackettes<br />

for <strong>the</strong> past two years have done<br />

a terrific job <strong>of</strong>ficiating <strong>the</strong> home<br />

track meets. Stop watches click on at<br />

<strong>the</strong> sight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> gun smoke and stop<br />

as a runner breaks <strong>the</strong> winning string.<br />

The field event show trackettes heaving<br />

<strong>the</strong> pole up for a 12'3" jump at<br />

<strong>the</strong> pole vault, tugging tapes for <strong>the</strong><br />

discus event, raking <strong>the</strong> pit for long<br />

jump, and running around looking for<br />

<strong>the</strong> guys who haven't taken <strong>the</strong>ir turn.<br />

Trackettes get <strong>the</strong> opportunity to have<br />

a little authority over <strong>the</strong> men for<br />

once, to take on responsibility, and<br />

to have fun. <strong>In</strong> order to distinguish<br />

<strong>the</strong> track guys from <strong>the</strong> trackettes,<br />

yellow patches with a green foot in<br />

<strong>the</strong> center were made as <strong>the</strong> symbol<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> trackette club. This year<br />

Becky Clark, Sandy Bond, and Nancee<br />

year.<br />

What WHS Cheerleaders Are Made <strong>of</strong><br />

A touchdown! Beautiful!<br />

It can't be! They're all toge<strong>the</strong>r!<br />

The planning <strong>of</strong> a great assembly.<br />

This summer, <strong>the</strong> cheerleaders attended<br />

a camp at I.S.U. At this camp<br />

<strong>the</strong>y learned many new cheers and<br />

techniques. They used some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />

in front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> student body, who enjoyed<br />

<strong>the</strong>m immensely. As <strong>the</strong> year<br />

progressed, Homecoming was upon<br />

<strong>the</strong>m. It was a huge success. The<br />

cheerleaders decorated every locker<br />

in <strong>the</strong> high school. (That's quite an<br />

accomplishment.) They placed third<br />

in <strong>the</strong> skits, which was kind <strong>of</strong><br />

messy, but kept <strong>the</strong> crowd laughing.<br />

The football and basketball seasons<br />

might not have been as glorious as<br />

past years, but <strong>the</strong> cheerleaders still<br />

loved every minute <strong>of</strong> cheering. As<br />

far as <strong>the</strong>ir thoughts go, it was a<br />

tremendous season. They were proud<br />

to be representing W.H.S. on <strong>the</strong><br />

floor and on <strong>the</strong> field. The cheerleaders<br />

were also extremely proud <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> boys and <strong>the</strong> fine job <strong>the</strong>y did.<br />

The cheerleaders backed <strong>the</strong>m all<br />

<strong>the</strong> way in <strong>the</strong>ir all-out efforts for a<br />

victory. Last but not least, GOOD<br />

LUCK to <strong>the</strong> three Seniors on this<br />

year's squad. It was great fun and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y made it worthwhile.<br />

CLASSES


Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> Students <strong>of</strong> WHS, Learn, Probe<br />

Scholastic Bowl Team


and Experiment To Prepare for <strong>the</strong> New Decade<br />

The curriculum <strong>of</strong>fered at WHS prepares us for <strong>the</strong><br />

challenges which must be faced in <strong>the</strong> new decade.<br />

From Shakespeare and <strong>the</strong> satirists Addison and<br />

Steele to learning sentence structure, <strong>the</strong> English Department<br />

introduces us to <strong>the</strong> masters <strong>of</strong> great literature<br />

and <strong>the</strong> basic writing techniques which <strong>the</strong>y<br />

used.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r asset <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> learning power at We<strong>the</strong>rsfield is<br />

contained in <strong>the</strong> Science Department, where students<br />

deal with basic experiments to probing <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong><br />

a DNA molecule.<br />

The Agriculture Department, ever relevant in our agriculturally<br />

dependent community continues to prepare<br />

many students for futures varying from farming to<br />

veterinarian medicine.<br />

The Business Department prepares students for vocational<br />

occupations after high school and helps collegebound<br />

students to adjust more easily to more rigorous<br />

study habits. A new required Consumer Education<br />

course helps prepare seniors for everyday life after<br />

graduation.<br />

Learning about man's history and <strong>the</strong> structure <strong>of</strong> his<br />

government is essential in understanding <strong>the</strong> world<br />

today. The Social Science Department deals with work<br />

in <strong>the</strong>se areas and gives insight to <strong>the</strong> students involved<br />

with <strong>the</strong> courses <strong>of</strong>fered.<br />

Though a ra<strong>the</strong>r recent addition to <strong>the</strong> electives <strong>of</strong>fered<br />

at WHS, <strong>the</strong> Art Department grows stronger<br />

every year helping students to release <strong>the</strong> creative<br />

ability using it artistically.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> world becoming smaller every day, people<br />

are finding that <strong>the</strong>y need to know more than one<br />

language to communicate with <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

world. The French Department may help to break any<br />

language barrier by teaching students to be fluent with<br />

<strong>the</strong> language.<br />

Students with <strong>the</strong> love <strong>of</strong> music find that <strong>the</strong> band and<br />

chorus have much to <strong>of</strong>fer <strong>the</strong>m. The Music Department,<br />

with a long line <strong>of</strong> superiors behind it, gives<br />

fulfillment to students who wish to continue in music<br />

and for those who simply enjoy participation in this<br />

fine art area.<br />

Thus, most students find <strong>the</strong> curriculum at WHS satisfactory.<br />

The Sophomore <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> W.H.S. had<br />

a hard working year. They received<br />

fourth place on <strong>the</strong>ir Homecoming<br />

float, "A Shear Disaster for <strong>the</strong><br />

Rams." Sue Pacquer represented <strong>the</strong><br />

class in its activities. They cooperated<br />

to fashion a successful Mid-<br />

Winter, "Royal Blue Romance." During<br />

a special meeting <strong>the</strong> class <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />

and cabinet members chose one<br />

oval and one square ring as <strong>the</strong><br />

class's choices. As Sophomores, <strong>the</strong>y<br />

have worked toge<strong>the</strong>r, learned toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

and have met and will continue<br />

to meet many challenges in<br />

<strong>the</strong>se rapidly changing times.<br />

Junior Life and Memories<br />

"We see shadows and images <strong>of</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs we wonder;<br />

We look deep into <strong>the</strong> faces <strong>of</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs,<br />

And all <strong>the</strong> while we are trying,<br />

Trying to find a face for ourselves."<br />

We as Juniors, looking back upon <strong>the</strong><br />

past year, realize all <strong>of</strong> our experiences<br />

and accomplishments.<br />

We started <strong>of</strong>f <strong>the</strong> year with a fantastic<br />

homecoming float, which won<br />

second place. Next, many <strong>of</strong> us<br />

remember <strong>the</strong> tasks <strong>of</strong> taking <strong>the</strong><br />

P.S.A.T., A.C.T., and National Merit<br />

Scholarship tests.<br />

As <strong>the</strong> year progressed, many <strong>of</strong> us<br />

found hidden talent, as we put forth<br />

<strong>the</strong> Junior <strong>Class</strong> Play entitled, "The<br />

Many Loves <strong>of</strong> Dobie Gillis." Towards<br />

<strong>the</strong> year's end, anticipation<br />

grew as <strong>the</strong> Juniors put on <strong>the</strong> best<br />

prom ever.<br />

Next year, Juniors, is your final year<br />

at W.H.S. Let's keep toge<strong>the</strong>r and<br />

make it our best year yet.<br />

We Seniors are leaving, and soon <strong>the</strong> Juniors will step up and take our places.<br />

As we look back on our four years <strong>of</strong> high school, we will be filled with many<br />

memories. We walked toge<strong>the</strong>r on that first big day as Freshmen who braved a<br />

brand new world. We talked toge<strong>the</strong>r over all our problems as we ventured to<br />

produce "Roses in <strong>the</strong> Snow," our Midwinter Dance our Sophomore year Our<br />

Junior year proved to be <strong>the</strong> busiest <strong>of</strong> all. We put on <strong>the</strong> Turnabout Dance<br />

"Esk lm o Blue Day," early in <strong>the</strong> year. We laughed as we worked to put on our<br />

Junior <strong>Class</strong> Play, "Hip-Hippie Hooray". Then <strong>the</strong>re was <strong>the</strong> pop bottle drive<br />

to raise money for <strong>the</strong> best Prom ever, "Oriental Odyssey."<br />

Now that we are Seniors, we realize that we have learned to work hard toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

but still have fun; to look forward to <strong>the</strong> future, and yet not regret<br />

<strong>the</strong> past. We have learned <strong>the</strong>se things in <strong>the</strong> hardest way possible: through experience.<br />

We will remember our times <strong>of</strong> sorrow, joy, tears, and laughter; and<br />

also we will remember our times <strong>of</strong> waiting, wondering, and wishing. Our four<br />

years have not been in vain.<br />

Our time is nearly done--but perhaps our time has just begun.<br />

Senior Bowl Team Goes Far<br />

The 1971 Senior Bowl Team went a<br />

long way this year. They started out<br />

by traveling all <strong>the</strong> way to Streator<br />

to compete in Streator's annual Scholastic<br />

Bowl Contest. The team, consisting<br />

<strong>of</strong> Barb Toepke as captain,<br />

Dan Field, Jan Webb, Gregg Stoner,<br />

Doug Burke, Joyce Webb and Rob<br />

Lininger, defeated Woodland <strong>of</strong><br />

Streator and went on to defend <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

against LaSalle-Peru. Unfortunately,<br />

<strong>the</strong> LaSalle-Peru team got<br />

<strong>the</strong> upper hand and won, and <strong>the</strong> WHS<br />

team was out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> contest.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> WHS team redeemed<br />

itself at <strong>the</strong> We<strong>the</strong>rsfield Annual<br />

Scholastic Bowl. We<strong>the</strong>rsfield defeated<br />

ROVA, Wyoming, Walnut and<br />

competed against Streator for <strong>the</strong><br />

championship. It was an unbelievably<br />

exciting game and <strong>the</strong> tension was<br />

fierce. As <strong>the</strong> final bell sounded, <strong>the</strong><br />

WHS team was trailing but had <strong>the</strong><br />

chance to win if <strong>the</strong>y answered <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

bonus question correctly. Unfortunately,<br />

<strong>the</strong> team didn't know <strong>the</strong> name<br />

<strong>of</strong> Wiley Post's airplane and lost <strong>the</strong><br />

match 154--150. They received a<br />

well-deserved second place trophy.<br />

On April 26, Barb Toepke, Jan Webb<br />

and Dan Field appeared on WMAQ-<br />

TV Channel 5 out <strong>of</strong> Chicago on <strong>the</strong><br />

show "It's Academic." They were<br />

chosen out <strong>of</strong> 10 prospective WHS students<br />

who had auditioned on March<br />

26.<br />

The show was thrilling for everyone--<br />

both <strong>the</strong> participants and <strong>the</strong> audience.<br />

It was We<strong>the</strong>rsfield's first time on <strong>the</strong><br />

program and <strong>the</strong> team did very well, though Wauconda won <strong>the</strong> game. It was a<br />

climax for <strong>the</strong> whole Senior Bowl team to get that far.<br />

After playing <strong>the</strong> Rotary Club "Rummies" and defeating <strong>the</strong>m 186--147, <strong>the</strong><br />

Senior team was challenged by <strong>the</strong> Juniors to play a match before <strong>the</strong> entire<br />

school. The Seniors came from behind to defeat <strong>the</strong> Juniors 211--150. The<br />

Juniors, however, did have a good showing and deserve recognition. They are as<br />

follows: Cathy Field, Cathy Churling, Chuck Clark, Mark McCormick, Bill<br />

Dooley, Dave Hall, Mike Thurwanger, and Jack Finkle. Good Luck next year,<br />

Juniors.<br />

It was a terrific season for <strong>the</strong> Senior Bowl Team and <strong>the</strong>y are indebted to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

coaches Miss Beck, Mr. Balsis, Mr. and Mrs. Carney, Miss Morrissey, Mr. Trainor,<br />

and Mr. Foster. They could not have gotten so far without <strong>the</strong>ir help and support.<br />

Dan, Barb, and Jan compete on "It's Academic."

Graduation Is Climax <strong>of</strong> Twelve Yea<br />

graduation ?<br />

How can <strong>the</strong>y let guys like this loose in <strong>the</strong> world?<br />

Let me get this tassel out <strong>of</strong> your ear,<br />

Chris.<br />

Graduation 1971 reflected <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Class</strong>' joy, sorrow, and hopes for<br />

<strong>the</strong> future. Honor Student Chris<br />

Craine, Salutatorian Linda Conner,<br />

and Valedictorian Barb Toepke<br />

delivered speeches on <strong>the</strong> class 1<br />

motto, "The journey <strong>of</strong> a thousand<br />

miles begins with a single step."<br />

Mr. Roland Craig, President <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Board <strong>of</strong> Education, awarded <strong>the</strong><br />

diplomas to <strong>the</strong> 79 graduating<br />

Seniors. It was a time for happiness<br />

because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sense <strong>of</strong><br />

achievement and a time <strong>of</strong> sadness<br />

at <strong>the</strong> thought <strong>of</strong> parting. At <strong>the</strong><br />

close <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ceremony, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> '71 marched down <strong>the</strong> aisle in<br />

pairs united as a part <strong>of</strong> a new<br />

generation <strong>of</strong> prospective leaders.<br />

May 22 SENIOR CLASS TRIP! Early one morning at four a.m. , to be exact, approximately fifty "hustling" and bustling<br />

senior girls and equally amorous boys ventured to <strong>the</strong> big city along with unchaperoned chaperones—Miss Wright, Mr. Mc-<br />

Pheeters, Mr. Balsis, Miss Beck and Mrs. McNeill. First pit stop was at <strong>the</strong> airport where we ate breakfast and tried to hijack<br />

a 747. Next big attraction was <strong>the</strong> Brookfield Zoo where we saw all our relatives, <strong>the</strong> gorilla, <strong>the</strong> kangaroo, <strong>the</strong><br />

baboon, <strong>the</strong> crane, and <strong>the</strong> hippo. Boarding <strong>the</strong> bus, we flocked to <strong>the</strong> Museum <strong>of</strong> Science and <strong>In</strong>dustry where everyone<br />

dispersed to <strong>the</strong>ir varied interests, being warned to stay away from <strong>the</strong> deep, dark coal mines because ??? Thus to downtown<br />

where P. Stach got lost. Before boarding <strong>the</strong> bug to go eat, we viewed a peace rally. Standing outside Due's Pizzeria,<br />

hungry and blood-thirsty, Miss Wright tried to persuade <strong>the</strong> little Italian lady to let us in. The pizza was great, <strong>the</strong> salad<br />

was WINEY, and <strong>the</strong> pop was pop. About seven-thirty p.m., we arrived at <strong>the</strong> United Artist Theatre to see "Summer <strong>of</strong><br />

'42". WOW! Would you believe twelve steps, eleven minute arm squeeze, hernia, and a summer to remember for a fifteen<br />

year old boy? Brrrr! ! ! ! Boat ride next on <strong>the</strong> Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Rough waters led to <strong>the</strong> rocking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

boat and Toni's sickness. The bus ride home was a great disappointment because everyone slept. We finally arrived back in<br />

<strong>Kewanee</strong> about three-thirty a.m. after an unforgettable day!<br />

May 27 Baccalaureate Practice. For <strong>the</strong> first time, <strong>the</strong> seniors find out how short or tall <strong>the</strong>y really are! Jr.-Sr. Banquet.<br />

Thanks Jrs., for <strong>the</strong> delicious food and <strong>the</strong> lovely decorations.<br />

May 31 No school--Memorial Day.<br />

June 2 High school graduation practice with <strong>the</strong> band. Junior High Graduation.<br />

June 3 All seven classes in <strong>the</strong> morning to check in books. Honors and Awards Assembly in <strong>the</strong> afternoon with school dismissal<br />

at two o'clock. GRADUATION ! Friendships, teachers, and fun times are becoming only memories as <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

1971 say good-bye. We take our single step toge<strong>the</strong>r on our journey <strong>of</strong> a thousand miles. Farewell until we meet again<br />

June 4 Last day <strong>of</strong> school, 8: 30-9:00.<br />

Dawns on a New<br />

Decade<br />

It is now time to say good-by to<br />

<strong>the</strong> 1970-71 school year and all<br />

<strong>the</strong> memories it holds for us. This<br />

book is a treasure chest for those<br />

memories. We have walked toge<strong>the</strong>r,<br />

talked toge<strong>the</strong>r, and<br />

learned toge<strong>the</strong>r. It is time to begin<br />

our thousand mile journey with<br />

a single step into a world yet unknown<br />

to us. We are dawning on a<br />

new decade—a decade that will<br />

face many challenges. With <strong>the</strong><br />

knowledge we have gained and<br />

with God's help, we are now able<br />

to walk down <strong>the</strong> road to <strong>the</strong> future<br />

with confidence to meet<br />

those challenges.<br />
