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 />

"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 />

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 />

by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Class</strong> <strong>of</strong> '72 on Saturday May<br />
8th from eight until eleven p.m.<br />
Upon arrival at Cape We<strong>the</strong>rsfield,<br />

The space visitors were delighted by<br />
making wishes in a misty blue pool<br />
filled by <strong>the</strong> overflowing cups <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Big and Little Dippers. Across <strong>the</strong> surface<br />
stood a magnificent display <strong>of</strong><br />
astrological genius. The deep blue<br />
sky was speckled with starlight, while<br />
shimmering planets twinkled in <strong>the</strong><br />
distance. This was to be <strong>the</strong>ir paradise<br />
for one wonderful evening.<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.

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 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 />

in such sports as bowling,<br />
volleyball, speedball, s<strong>of</strong>tball, and<br />
basketball. Even though it is a way to<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.

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 />

"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.
Live on into Tomorrow<br />

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 />
Hill were chosen as co-captains this<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."

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 />

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 />
