during this year. As you begin on page one, you trace your steps during a day,
a month, and a year. In later years this book will bring the past close to the
present. Today, tomorrow, and always, this book will remind you of your days
at WHS. This book will hold the memories of the times you and your friends

Let us now take a look at our school, the people and what it has become. The
clocks have been set back. Much of the ground where our school building now
stands was covered with water in the spring and in the fall. Wild geese in their
journeys north and south stopped at these ponds. A great many tame geese were
raised in Wethersfield at this time. Geese became plentiful and were frequently
seen in the ponds on the commons. The men of the times were proud of their
geese ponds, thus they nicknamed our school the "Home of the Flying Geese."
They established ideals by which we were to live. The goose symbolizes loyalty,
purity (goose is pure white) and it also signifies industry (a goose flies rather
than using its feet). Today, the flying geese use their own wings to achieve
their ultimate goals.
Over the years, our school has become more than a building; it has become a
group of people united in a common goal--to learn. The spirit has been kept
alive by a group of individuals having distinct personalities, each living, looking,
learning, talking and walking in his own way. These individuals are participants,
spectators, leaders, dreamers, followers, givers, receivers and doers.
WHS reflects the characters of these people.
The day has begun. The day has dawned and we are awakened. We sacrifice
the peacefulness of the night to busy ourselves at gaining knowledge.
We are awakened to a new age at the beginning of the school year, August 28.
Til the end of the school year, June 3,--we adapt ourselves to this age.
Each day we arrive at school before the ringing of the bell at 8:25. Our first
steps are down the halls to our classrooms. Oh, of only these halls could tell of
the many unwritten memories of the times they have become chaotic. These
halls are filled with laughter and happy talk, friends, fun. We walk these halls
many times throughout the day while going from classroom to classroom, building
to building. Our personalities carry us to band, chorus, participating in
Homecoming, Christmas, and AFS week festivities. We participate in plays,
dances and Prom.
Some of us notice what is happening around us--others merely exist. Some realize
that today is today and now is now. Some take the responsibilities of
adulthood and grow wiser day by day.
Some go through life smiling while others are frowning.
Some have found themselves--they know what they want and they're reaching
out to achieve their goals. They voice their opinions about life. They talk
about war, poverty, communism, the generation gap, while others merely talk
about boys, girls, last night's homework, Friday night's game, or a dance.
Some begin to see clearly as they acquire a quantity of knowledge and share it
with others. Time hasn't run out. Some create new traditions at the dawn of this
new decade. Shadows now begin to fall. Time flies quickly--stopping for no one.
Time seems to slow for the underclassmen, while time seems too short for the
Seniors and there is no time for those who do not care.
It's funny, but around these walls still lies the spirit of Wethersfield, which was
built on a foundation of education, hope, faith, and understanding, which is now
firmly established by the leadership and untiring efforts of the administration.
With their guidance we have obtained the knowledge necessary to enable us to
take a big step into the future.
Through life let's join hands, as we take our step--as we journey as brothers.
Let's all strive for peace in this new age. Share the years last warmness with
all.
At the close of the day, at the close of the year, as the sun sets slowly in the
west, we have memories of the friendly rivalry between classes, of our victories
and losses, of the organizations which prepare us for the demanding society, the
activities which have brought us close together, of graduation, and of the established
traditions which make our school great now and at the dawn of a new
decade.

1970-71 was a successful year at
W.H.S. thanks to the many efforts of
the administration. Many times Mr.
Fraser, our superintendent and Mr.
Pillen and Mr. Brownf ield, our principal
and assistant principal have
walked, talked and learned right
along with the students. They have
helped us, guided us, and disciplined
us when we needed it.
Working with our administration, the
school board helped bring important
changes into the school. One such
change enjoyed by the student body
was the relaxation of the dress code.
Our guidance counselor, Mr. Balsis,
offered valuable advice to our students
concerning their courses of
study and their futures.
Mrs. Jackson, the high school secretary
and Mrs. Holtschult, the superintendent's
secretary, assisted tremendously
in making the year run
smoothly.

Enables Us To Step Ahead with Knowledge
Walking, talking and learning together.
Learning--the most important
facit of our lives. Learning at WHS is
often made more interesting and challenging
through the efforts of our dedicated
faculty. Their concern for the
educational welfare of the students
has stimulated many young people
toward greater achievements and ultimately
higher education.
There is a sun in the sky
Let it shine, let them see it.
There is air in the sky,
Let them breathe it.
There are thoughts in their minds
Let them think.
There is a GOD,
Let them worship.
There is communication,
Let them speak.
There is fun,
Let them enjoy.
There is sorrow
Let them suffer.
There is Love
Let them love.
There is touch and sensation,
Let them feel and be high.
There are other emotions,
Let them discover these.
They are young, but they are people.
Let them live.

The Geese Are Victorious
Game
On Thursday, October 8, Homecoming,
the Western Rams met their match, The
Wethersfield Flying Geese. The spirit
was high as the Geese charged onto the
field, even though three of their fellow
teammates could not participate in the
game itself. Mick Peed, Rick Wonser,
and Eddie Toliver were those out for the
night!
Even so, all were very much a part of
the night. Before starting their exercises,
each member of the football squad jogged
over to the endline, where Mick
Peed sat in Mr. Brownfield's station
wagon and shook his hand. Mick was out
for the season with a dislocated hip. The
fans were moved by the team's expression
of friendship.
Rick Wonser was seen cheering his team
on from the sidelines because he was out
with a dislocated shoulder. Eddie Toliver,
out with a head injury, was seen as
he kissed the Queen.
The Geese played with such tremendous
agility that the fans knew it was the
best Homecoming ever. The score reflected
this.
Now listen boys! If you can't play
nicely with each other . . .

"The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
When Helen asked Dobie for help, he should have started running in the opposite
direction. Unfortunately, Helen is so attractive that the thought never
occurs to him, which causes many humorous complications for the school
dance, nice little Bonnie, who's trying to help Dobie, the lovely Helen, herself,
and last but not least, the well-known and engaging Dobie Gillis.
That's just a brief synopsis of the Juniors hilarious play. It is a three-act

Don Wooten at the Drug Assembly
Why do you think they call it Dope?
Don Wooten, and others spoke at
Wethersfield to give the students an
insight to drugs. Various varieties of
drugs and what effects they had on
the users were discussed. Samples and
pictures of results were shown. What
happens if you do get hooked?
Methods were given on how to get
cured or how you would be treated if
you were caught. We hope that this
has discouraged any possible drug
users and knocked a little sense into
those that already do. Just remember
this--It is real "cool" to say yes, but
it takes a little "guts" to say no
thank-you!

by the Class of '72 on Saturday May
8th from eight until eleven p.m.
Upon arrival at Cape Wethersfield,
the fortunate space candidates
stepped up the ramp, entered the
spacecraft, and prepared for blast-off
into a world yet unknown to them.
The space visitors were delighted by
making wishes in a misty blue pool
filled by the overflowing cups of the
Big and Little Dippers. Across the surface
stood a magnificent display of
astrological genius. The deep blue
sky was speckled with starlight, while
shimmering planets twinkled in the
distance. This was to be their paradise
for one wonderful evening.

Wethersfield High School
Student Council strived this year to
promote better communication between
the students and administration.
Through Student Council's efforts, the
girls at WHS are now wearing slacks,
students and faculty are enjoying the
new pop machine, and channels have
been opened for talks to improve
curriculum for the benefit of the students.
The adoption of a foster child,
Leticia Hernandez of Mexico, was also
a highlight of S.C.'s activities. The
council sponsored a beautiful Homecoming
and put money in the treasury
with a lovely Turnabout too. A.F.S.
Week proved to be exciting and
profitable and provided S.C. with
money to again bring another A.F.S.
student to Wethersfield and sponsor
an American Abroad. Though Student
Council tried to be a beneficial organization,
many times it struggled
against student apathy and disinterest
and sometimes lost sight of the goals
for which it was intended. All in all,
Student Council remains the voice of
the students and provides the needed
"bridge" between students and faculty.

Students Today—Secretaries Tomorrow
1970-71 Future Secretaries
The WHS-KHS Chapter of the Future
Secretaries Association is a combined
effort with the Kewanee Chapter of
the National Secretaries Association
(N.S.A.). The N.S.A. ladies, with the
help of the F.S.A. officers and the
sponsors, (Mr. Myers of WHS, and Mr.
Bartlett of KHS)', plan the monthly
programs and activities. Some annual
events that are included are: a formal
candlelight initiation, a Christmas
party for younger children, a program
on modeling and hair styling, and
talks about secretarial positions.
Ah, So! Grenda Glove, girl secretary!
Deb knows how to please the boss.
At the March meeting, the preliminary
contest for the annual "Miss
Future Secretary," contest took place.
Mrs. Bodine, a legal secretary, set up
a legal court disposition situation. As
the witnesses gave their testimony in
rapid-fire dialogue, the F.S.A. girls
took down as much as they could in
shorthand. They then transcribed
from their notes on the typewriter.
At the April meeting, the finalists
went before a group of interviewers,
who gave them questions pertaining
to secretarial positions. The winner
was Debi Wolf, from WHS.
The F.S.A. year was closed out with
a trip to a business office and a
banquet, treating the seniors. Debi
Wolf, served as a very capable,
earnest president.

Hearts and Hands Together—AFS
Mauro raises the Italian flag over
WHS
AFS opens doors which lead to understanding and friendship among the peoples
of the world. Through these doors pass students from 61 countries who come to
America for a year of study and firsthand experience, as well as American
teenagers from nearly every state to study and live abroad--a two way program
of seeing and showing. In this way, young citizens of the world learn to appreciate
and to respect the similarities and differences of people, who, though,
they live in different countries, have dreams and efforts similarly directed
toward the goal of a peaceful and useful life.
Mauro Mase^is Wethersfield's AFS student this year from Trieste, Italy. Mauro
has been a special part of WHS with his sense of humor and talent in enlivening
the activities he takes an interest in. He has enlightened us on life and customs
in Italy and makes WHS a better place just by being here.
Joyce Webb was Wethersfield's American Abroad last summer to Istanbul, Turkey.
She gave us a new look at an unusual and fascinating culture. Next year's
semi-finalists for the Americans Abroad Program are Chuck Clark and Lynn
Huffman.
AFS is a door which is open for us to learn about foreign lands through our AFS
student and our American Abroad student. By opening our hearts and our minds
to the wonderful things we can learn by sharing, we can keep this door open for
generations to come.
It's a coat, Mauro, C-O-A-T!

AFS Students Tell of
My home in Turkey
Cam Sokak No. 24, Emirgan, Istanbul,
Turkey was to become my home
for two of the most wonderful months
of my life. I lived with the Embiya
Behri family and had one sister, 16,
Cigdem (which means Crocus in
Turkish). My family was very affectionate
and I felt like one of
them from the very beginning. My
parents didn't speak English so we
communicated in French and Turkish
(though my Turkish is very weak!)
My sister spoke very good English
and we became very close. My family
was very insistent that I learn as
much as I could about Istanbul and
the Turkish customs so we went sightseeing
a lot and I was very fortunate
to see the famous Sultan Ahmet
Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and even
Mt. Olympus. Turkey is a Moslem
country and learning about the religion
was one of the most fascinating
aspects of my stay there. Listening
to the "call" from the minarets
of the mosques five times a day was
a rewarding but sometimes tiring experience
(the first call was 4:30 in
the morning!)
I found most of the Turkish customs
very pleasant—like not wearing shoes
in the house and "taking tea" around
5:00 in the evening. But some, of
course, were not so pleasant—like
eating sheep's stomach and yogurt.
I lived on a high bluff overlooking
the Bosphorus, which is the body of
water that separates Europe from
Asia. The weather was very hot and
dry and it never rained during the
two months I was there except on the
day I left. This lack of rain didn't
discourage the farmers from growing
really delicious fruits and vegetables
though.
Istanbul is really a beautiful combination
of old eastern culture and western
modernism. This can be shown by
the extremes in clothing—women in
the mosques covered from head to
toe in black with only their eyes
showing and some of the wildest
maxis I've ever seen.
The Sultan Ahmet Mosque
My Turkish Family
My summer in Turkey was something
I'll never ever forget and I want to
thank the Wethersfield A.F.S. Chapter
for giving me the opportunity to
live and learn in a foreign country.

Their Unique Experiences
I arrived in Kewanee on the 21st erf
August and encountered a completely
new world to explore. Now I am a
new person, ready to understand and
associate with people.
I come from Trieste, a port of more
than 300,000 inhabitants, located in
the right upper corner of Italy, very
close to the Yugoslavian border and
not far from Venice. My father is
employed at the Central Post Office
of Trieste. He used to play soccer
and now he is also a soccer coach.
My mother works too, and this is not
very common in an Italian family.
She is a typist and stenographer for a
syndicate. In Kewanee, I live with
the Allen Livek family. Since the
beginning, they have always treated
me like a son. In Italy, I am the
only child, but here I experienced
having two brothers—Brad, a senior
and Aaron, a sixth grader.
My school in Trieste has more than a
thousand students and is called the
"Guglielmo Oberdan Scientific High
School." We go to high school for
five years, so when I go back I'll
have one more year to complete.
After that I plan to go to the University--possibly
the one in Pisa, to
study Physics and Mathematics, since
I like these subjects very much.
Traveling has always been my passion,
and the only big chance I had to
travel was with the AFS program.
Can you imagine how different Kewanee
is from Trieste? In my country,
life is slower, the language is
completely different, and there are
different rules like—no curfew and
no drinking age, or eighteen yearolds
driving. However, now I can say
that getting adjusted to these big
changes has helped me the most.
Making new friends at W.H.S, and
having fun with the Flying Geese
have been unforgettable experiences.
All the anxieties and joys I have had
in Kewanee will mean a lot to me
for a long, long time.

The most important thing I learned
is that I finally realized that people
are basically the same all over the
world. Obviously, there are differences
in the ways of living, but these
differences are not important. When
you talk about different countries,
don't say life is better here than there
(it is never better or worse) but simply
say that some of the customs are
not the same. This is the key everybody
needs to reach the main AFS
idea and purpose. "Walk together,
talk together, oh ye people of the
world and then and only then shall
we live in peace."
Sincerely,
Your 1970-71 AFS Student

FT A Members Learn Today To
The young minds of these grade
school children are eager for the
help of Student Teachers. They are
bright, delightful, and unpredictable,
as only young children can be. FTA
members get first hand experience at
finding out whether or not, teaching
is the career for them. The grade
school children give them all the information
they need to know.

The club has abandoned most entertaining
and "fun" activities in favor of a strong
student teaching program. On April 26th,
all FTA club members were invited to a
FTA banquet. High School teachers, and
elementary teachers who participated in
the student teaching program were also
invited. Guest of Honor was Myrtle E. Nelson.
A convention was held in Geneseo
where our chapter gave the pledge of Allegiance
and participated in the meeting.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, the gym
fills up with a bunch of girls who participate
in such sports as bowling,
volleyball, speedball, softball, and
basketball. Even though it is a way to
work off pounds, it is also a place
where you can be friends with the
other members of G.A.A. There are
not any qualifications. You don't have
to be a Super Star or a great athlete.
All you have to have is an enjoyment
of sports as a whole, and the free time
to spend two nights a week participating.
An initiation is held for new
members early in the year, and a
slumber party takes place in the gym
at the end of year. The bright side of
G.A.A. is Mrs. McNeill, who diligently
sponsors this enthusiastic group of girls!

Top Students Are Recognized
Scholarship, leadership, character
and service: these four traits are the
keys that unlock the door to the National
Honor Society. To become a
member of this elite group is the
dream of every student. This year the
four senior members and their sponsor,
Miss Morrissey, welcomed eight
more seniors and five juniors, who
were selected by the faculty, into
their organization. Each senior member
wore a gold cord at graduation to
signify his achievement. The new
members were inducted into the Society
at an assembly in the presence
of their parents, teachers and fellow
classmates.

French Club spent the larger part of
this year reorganizing its attitudes and
priorities and adjusting to its new
sponsor. This year the club directed
its efforts toward learning about the
country of France, the French people
and their customs, and French culture.
French Club did, however, hold such
social functions as the get-acquainted
cookout early in the year, a dance
later in the year for members and
their guests, and the annual club dinner.
Club members also widened their
horizons by spending an evening learning
about Turkey from Joyce Webb,
soaking up the flavor of Italy from
Mauro Mase, and "seeing the sights"
of Europe as Miss Morrissey showed
slides of her trips abroad. French Club
members climaxed their year by passing
along some of their knowledge
(simple French phrases and songs) to
the first and second grade children in
the elementary school.

Extra, Extra, Read All About It
Quack had a moderately successful year publishing
nine regular editions and a Homecoming flyer. In
November, six Quack members attended a High
School Newspaper Workshop at Bradley University.
There, the editors learned to come down from their
"ivory towers," sports writers learned to include the
SCORE in their reports, and society writers learned
that "if you want to get boys to wear socks, you
should be subtle."
Inspired by their trip to Bradley, the editors held a
workshop for the whole Quack staff and were rewarded
with a much-improved December edition.
"Oh, was there a Quack work session last night?"
"When are we going over to Sandy's?" "You'll have
to re-type this; the machine wasn't on stencil." "Sorry
your article got left out; we accidentally lost it."
"Can one of you artists do a heading for TIPS FROM
TRIESTE?" "Quack word sessions were harried, hurried,
mind-bending, and just plain exhausting sometimes,
but always FUN ! "
Sponsored by Miss Beck and edited by Joyce Webb and
Barb Toepke, Quack reached its goal many times--
pleasing its readers.

The Best Memories of Today
The Green Quill organized its new
staff, and contracted the American
Yearbook Company, in order to have
a better, more interesting annual this
year.
The quill editors, sponsor, and selected
staff members attended a yearbook
workshop at Augustana College
early in the year. At this workshop,
the staff learned new techniques in
journalism for laying-out pages in
three columns, how to write interesting
copy, and how to capture unique
scenes through photography.
Trying out some of these new ideas,
the Quill staff got to work putting together
their book with long hours of
hard work and diligent help from their
sponsor.
To raise funds to finance the Quill,
the members sponsored a Halloween
dance, a successful faculty basketball
game, and a big candy sale. With the
money obtained through soliciting Kewanee
Businesses and yearbook subscriptions,
the Quill had a good year
financially.
The Quill Staff sincerely hopes you
enjoy this yearbook and will treasure
it always for the memories it holds of
our high school days.

Throughout the year, the sound of
music lilts from the top floor of the
Blish Building, where the Choral Department,
under the direction of Mrs.
Lazar, dilligently practices for
its big performances. The Christmas
Concert, Contest, and Spring Formal
Concert all were successes due to
these practices and Mrs. Lazar's outstanding
direction. At the High School

Spring Choral Concert
The 1971 Spring Choral Concert^ "Fantasy," was an adventure
into the wonderful world of Disney. The Girls
Chorus singing "Its a Small World" and "A Dream is a
Wish Your Heart Makes" set a romantic mood while the
Boys Chorus singing "Follow Me Boys" and "Heigh-Ho"
added a touch of fun. The Mixed Chorus presented "Whistle
While You Work," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".and finished
the concert with "When You Wish Upon a Star."
"So This is Love," by Pant Slover, "Ten Minutes Ago" by
Jan Hubbard and Tom Roulds and "Love is a Song" by Jan
Hubbard, Lee Lundberg and Sona Slover were songs that
sent the audience off to a dreamy wonderland.
The Senior Girls Ensemble sang "Some Day My Prince
Will Come" followed by "Castaways" by Jackie Ellis and
"Let's Get Together" by Jackie Ellis and Glenda Grove.
Greg Moss and Lee Lundberg blended together in "Auf
Wienderseaen" followed by an ensemble of girls piping
out "The Bare Necessities."
The highlight of the program was the presentation of the
National Arion Foundation Award to Pam Slover. Mrs.
Lazar then awarded the Director's Trophies to Becky Clark^
Jackie Ellis, Cindy Moss, Debbie Moss, Raele Nash, Tom
Roulds, Barb Toepke, Jan and Joyce Webb.
Everyone agreed that the Concert was a big success.

Wethersfield Library Club members
volunteer their services to keep our
libraries in running, workable order.
Many new members have joined this
year but we hope to increase the enrollment
in the following years to
come. Qualifications are only that
you are a slight book worm, and have
a willingness to work during your free
time. Goals for the club were set early
in the year. Social activities included
an initiation party where the new
member had an assigned job for a
week that pertained to the Library, a
banquet for club members, and a
visit to the Black Hawk East Library.
We also had a Christmas party, and a
picnic for the Jr. High Librarians. National
Library Week is advertized
widely with eye catching bulletin
boards, new book covers, and colorful
book markers. Much service to the
students is given by our faithful Library
Club sponsor, Mrs. Murphy. The
main purpose of Library Club is to develop
leadership, personality, and
good citizenship through service to
our schools.

Round Ball Season Is a
A streak of lightning seemed to
form and flash across the WHS
gym this season. WHS B-Ball
took on a new shape in the
1970-71 campaign. The fast
break brought a new life and
style to WHS. An exciting
brand of rbund ball action and
an outstanding offensive threat
had emerged. (2nd in team offense
in the Blackhawk Conference).
Coach Wally Keller and his
geese held many a fan on the
edge of their seats with sparkling
performances.
By the way, THAT FLASH was

Oar Smiling Trackettes
"First call for the two-mile relay, all
runners report to the starting line at
once ! " This familiar call Is heard
throughout the many track meets to
get the running events going. Trackettes
for the past two years have done
a terrific job officiating the home
track meets. Stop watches click on at
the sight of the gun smoke and stop
as a runner breaks the winning string.
The field event show trackettes heaving
the pole up for a 12'3" jump at
the pole vault, tugging tapes for the
discus event, raking the pit for long
jump, and running around looking for
the guys who haven't taken their turn.
Trackettes get the opportunity to have
a little authority over the men for
once, to take on responsibility, and
to have fun. In order to distinguish
the track guys from the trackettes,
yellow patches with a green foot in
the center were made as the symbol
of the trackette club. This year
Becky Clark, Sandy Bond, and Nancee
Hill were chosen as co-captains this
year.

What WHS Cheerleaders Are Made of
A touchdown! Beautiful!
It can't be! They're all together!
The planning of a great assembly.
This summer, the cheerleaders attended
a camp at I.S.U. At this camp
they learned many new cheers and
techniques. They used some of these
in front of the student body, who enjoyed
them immensely. As the year
progressed, Homecoming was upon
them. It was a huge success. The
cheerleaders decorated every locker
in the high school. (That's quite an
accomplishment.) They placed third
in the skits, which was kind of
messy, but kept the crowd laughing.
The football and basketball seasons
might not have been as glorious as
past years, but the cheerleaders still
loved every minute of cheering. As
far as their thoughts go, it was a
tremendous season. They were proud
to be representing W.H.S. on the
floor and on the field. The cheerleaders
were also extremely proud of
the boys and the fine job they did.
The cheerleaders backed them all
the way in their all-out efforts for a
victory. Last but not least, GOOD
LUCK to the three Seniors on this
year's squad. It was great fun and
they made it worthwhile.

CLASSES

Together, the Students of WHS, Learn, Probe
Scholastic Bowl Team

and Experiment To Prepare for the New Decade
The curriculum offered at WHS prepares us for the
challenges which must be faced in the new decade.
From Shakespeare and the satirists Addison and
Steele to learning sentence structure, the English Department
introduces us to the masters of great literature
and the basic writing techniques which they
used.
Another asset of the learning power at Wethersfield is
contained in the Science Department, where students
deal with basic experiments to probing the structure of
a DNA molecule.
The Agriculture Department, ever relevant in our agriculturally
dependent community continues to prepare
many students for futures varying from farming to
veterinarian medicine.
The Business Department prepares students for vocational
occupations after high school and helps collegebound
students to adjust more easily to more rigorous
study habits. A new required Consumer Education
course helps prepare seniors for everyday life after
graduation.
Learning about man's history and the structure of his
government is essential in understanding the world
today. The Social Science Department deals with work
in these areas and gives insight to the students involved
with the courses offered.
Though a rather recent addition to the electives offered
at WHS, the Art Department grows stronger
every year helping students to release the creative
ability using it artistically.
With the world becoming smaller every day, people
are finding that they need to know more than one
language to communicate with the people of the
world. The French Department may help to break any
language barrier by teaching students to be fluent with
the language.
Students with the love of music find that the band and
chorus have much to offer them. The Music Department,
with a long line of superiors behind it, gives
fulfillment to students who wish to continue in music
and for those who simply enjoy participation in this
fine art area.
Thus, most students find the curriculum at WHS satisfactory.

Freshmen Begin High School Life
A tribute to the freshman. You
have completed your first year at
Wethersfield High School. Stride
forward into the next three with
the same spirit you have already
shown.
After overcoming the hardship of
our float burning down at Homecoming
our class came back with
a great third place.
Our officers and sponsors really did
a great job and with the great
leadership our class has, the next
three years can only be better.

Silly Sophomores Surge Ahead
OFFICERS, President: Mike Foster; V. President: Bob Roulds; S. C. Rep.: Jan Hubbard; Secretary: Sue Pacquer; Treasurer:
Joanie Peed; Sponsors: Mr. Foster, Mr. Carney; CABINET MEMBERS: Peggy Stach, Rob Armstrong, Bill Manning, Nick
Humphrey.
The Sophomore Class of W.H.S. had
a hard working year. They received
fourth place on their Homecoming
float, "A Shear Disaster for the
Rams." Sue Pacquer represented the
class in its activities. They cooperated
to fashion a successful Mid-
Winter, "Royal Blue Romance." During
a special meeting the class officers
and cabinet members chose one
oval and one square ring as the
class's choices. As Sophomores, they
have worked together, learned together,
and have met and will continue
to meet many challenges in
these rapidly changing times.

Junior Life and Memories
"We see shadows and images of
others we wonder;
We look deep into the faces of
others,
And all the while we are trying,
Trying to find a face for ourselves."
We as Juniors, looking back upon the
past year, realize all of our experiences
and accomplishments.
We started off the year with a fantastic
homecoming float, which won
second place. Next, many of us
remember the tasks of taking the
P.S.A.T., A.C.T., and National Merit
Scholarship tests.
As the year progressed, many of us
found hidden talent, as we put forth
the Junior Class Play entitled, "The
Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." Towards
the year's end, anticipation
grew as the Juniors put on the best
prom ever.
Next year, Juniors, is your final year
at W.H.S. Let's keep together and
make it our best year yet.

We Seniors are leaving, and soon the Juniors will step up and take our places.
As we look back on our four years of high school, we will be filled with many
memories. We walked together on that first big day as Freshmen who braved a
brand new world. We talked together over all our problems as we ventured to
produce "Roses in the Snow," our Midwinter Dance our Sophomore year Our
Junior year proved to be the busiest of all. We put on the Turnabout Dance
"Esk lm o Blue Day," early in the year. We laughed as we worked to put on our
Junior Class Play, "Hip-Hippie Hooray". Then there was the pop bottle drive
to raise money for the best Prom ever, "Oriental Odyssey."
Now that we are Seniors, we realize that we have learned to work hard together,
but still have fun; to look forward to the future, and yet not regret
the past. We have learned these things in the hardest way possible: through experience.
We will remember our times of sorrow, joy, tears, and laughter; and
also we will remember our times of waiting, wondering, and wishing. Our four
years have not been in vain.
Our time is nearly done--but perhaps our time has just begun.

Senior Bowl Team Goes Far
The 1971 Senior Bowl Team went a
long way this year. They started out
by traveling all the way to Streator
to compete in Streator's annual Scholastic
Bowl Contest. The team, consisting
of Barb Toepke as captain,
Dan Field, Jan Webb, Gregg Stoner,
Doug Burke, Joyce Webb and Rob
Lininger, defeated Woodland of
Streator and went on to defend themselves
against LaSalle-Peru. Unfortunately,
the LaSalle-Peru team got
the upper hand and won, and the WHS
team was out of the contest.
However, the WHS team redeemed
itself at the Wethersfield Annual
Scholastic Bowl. Wethersfield defeated
ROVA, Wyoming, Walnut and
competed against Streator for the
championship. It was an unbelievably
exciting game and the tension was
fierce. As the final bell sounded, the
WHS team was trailing but had the
chance to win if they answered their
bonus question correctly. Unfortunately,
the team didn't know the name
of Wiley Post's airplane and lost the
match 154--150. They received a
well-deserved second place trophy.
On April 26, Barb Toepke, Jan Webb
and Dan Field appeared on WMAQ-
TV Channel 5 out of Chicago on the
show "It's Academic." They were
chosen out of 10 prospective WHS students
who had auditioned on March
26.
The show was thrilling for everyone--
both the participants and the audience.
It was Wethersfield's first time on the
program and the team did very well, though Wauconda won the game. It was a
climax for the whole Senior Bowl team to get that far.
After playing the Rotary Club "Rummies" and defeating them 186--147, the
Senior team was challenged by the Juniors to play a match before the entire
school. The Seniors came from behind to defeat the Juniors 211--150. The
Juniors, however, did have a good showing and deserve recognition. They are as
follows: Cathy Field, Cathy Churling, Chuck Clark, Mark McCormick, Bill
Dooley, Dave Hall, Mike Thurwanger, and Jack Finkle. Good Luck next year,
Juniors.
It was a terrific season for the Senior Bowl Team and they are indebted to their
coaches Miss Beck, Mr. Balsis, Mr. and Mrs. Carney, Miss Morrissey, Mr. Trainor,
and Mr. Foster. They could not have gotten so far without their help and support.
Dan, Barb, and Jan compete on "It's Academic."

graduation ?
How can they let guys like this loose in the world?
Let me get this tassel out of your ear,
Chris.
Graduation 1971 reflected the
Class' joy, sorrow, and hopes for
the future. Honor Student Chris
Craine, Salutatorian Linda Conner,
and Valedictorian Barb Toepke
delivered speeches on the class 1
motto, "The journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step."
Mr. Roland Craig, President of the
Board of Education, awarded the
diplomas to the 79 graduating
Seniors. It was a time for happiness
because of the sense of
achievement and a time of sadness
at the thought of parting. At the
close of the ceremony, the Class
of '71 marched down the aisle in
pairs united as a part of a new
generation of prospective leaders.
Hup, two, three, four!

May 22 SENIOR CLASS TRIP! Early one morning at four a.m. , to be exact, approximately fifty "hustling" and bustling
senior girls and equally amorous boys ventured to the big city along with unchaperoned chaperones—Miss Wright, Mr. Mc-
Pheeters, Mr. Balsis, Miss Beck and Mrs. McNeill. First pit stop was at the airport where we ate breakfast and tried to hijack
a 747. Next big attraction was the Brookfield Zoo where we saw all our relatives, the gorilla, the kangaroo, the
baboon, the crane, and the hippo. Boarding the bus, we flocked to the Museum of Science and Industry where everyone
dispersed to their varied interests, being warned to stay away from the deep, dark coal mines because ??? Thus to downtown
where P. Stach got lost. Before boarding the bug to go eat, we viewed a peace rally. Standing outside Due's Pizzeria,
hungry and blood-thirsty, Miss Wright tried to persuade the little Italian lady to let us in. The pizza was great, the salad
was WINEY, and the pop was pop. About seven-thirty p.m., we arrived at the United Artist Theatre to see "Summer of
'42". WOW! Would you believe twelve steps, eleven minute arm squeeze, hernia, and a summer to remember for a fifteen
year old boy? Brrrr! ! ! ! Boat ride next on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Rough waters led to the rocking of the
boat and Toni's sickness. The bus ride home was a great disappointment because everyone slept. We finally arrived back in
Kewanee about three-thirty a.m. after an unforgettable day!

Walk Together, Talk Together,
Learn Together, as WHS
Dawns on a New
Decade
It is now time to say good-by to
the 1970-71 school year and all
the memories it holds for us. This
book is a treasure chest for those
memories. We have walked together,
talked together, and
learned together. It is time to begin
our thousand mile journey with
a single step into a world yet unknown
to us. We are dawning on a
new decade—a decade that will
face many challenges. With the
knowledge we have gained and
with God's help, we are now able
to walk down the road to the future
with confidence to meet
those challenges.
