L(B£Aff¥ k contents faculty i 6 organizations 17 41 underclassmen 55 There is another side to University High School. Underneath the Curriculum Develop- ment Laboratory of the College of Education, beside the Demonstration Project for Gifted Children, hidden under the imposing scho- lastic reputation, there is simply Uni — not an over-intellectualized, sterile collection of craniums, but a charged, emotional atmos- phere where two hundred and thirty stu- dents spend a significant part of their lives. And emotions make up the framework of those lives: the relief and depression of prog- ress reports, the dry fear of homework not done, the sudden surge of delight at a prob- lem solved, a principle perceived, an in- sight gained. Emotions also affect the non- curricular: the heartbreak of a basketball de- feat, the narcotic comfort of the Lounge, the reckless insanity of a Friday afternoon. All these, and more, are the sights and sounds of Uni High. Emotions are not, as Oscar Wilde claimed, merely impulses to lead one astray, but reactions to life. These are the fleeting reactions which are mirrored in the changing faces of Uni High.

His conscientiousness, his demands that we ap- proach perfection, and his sympathy for our problems will always be gratefully remem- bered. events Old and new students met for the first time at the Orientation Picnic in Illini Grove on September 8th. %jhmm A-V Committee portrays its func- tion in a skit at the noon-hour Ac- tivities Assembly September 15th.

LIBRARY 89 class history The Class of 1966 descended upon Uni High rather nonchalantly. Having- been properly oriented, we unpretentiously began to join activities while becoming- exposed to our first real homework. Mr. Morgan's hand-knit ties and Mr. Connick's chalk- throwing were some of the more memorable highlights. As we gradually became ac- quainted, cliques appeared in the female ranks, as well as fights over possession of the second floor benches for noon hour. We ventured a class party in January — ice skating followed by a dance. By springtime we had migrated over to the reservoir to eat our lunches. This was the year of Emi's embarrassment over receiving three valentine presents from boys — most aptly termed our Innocent Year. Unplagued by the reams of homework which blighted our spirits in later years, we were carefree Freshmen. Getting to know the new Freshmen, our introduction to foreign languages and to English semantics, the girls' crushes on Seniors, Mr. Bun- gerts' lab periods — these all began the eventful year. And who could every forget our basketball heroes and their unique three-man weave? Second semester our class thrived: under the guidance of Mrs. Unzicker we sponsored our fabulous fishy all- school party. There was NHRP with Carol Peterson, parties nearly ever weekend, Bill Barber throwing goodies from the Buckeye Box onto the foursquare court, and finally the class hayride destined to become tradition. This was undisputably our Social Year. Sophomore year marked the Beginning of The Split between the sexes. Almost every weekend that fall was filled by spirited hootnannies. In December, the tradition- al Senior boy-Sophomore girl couples appeared; we then began to show the first ear- marks of disunity. These characteristics were temporarily quelled as we joined ranks in presenting a Leap Year all-school party and our Spring Fling, "Fantasia." In the spring came the annual hayride followed by the boys' slumber party making a mid- night visit to the girls' slumber party. That summer was spent with Miss Leppert in the pioneer Economics summer school class. Junior year was, if nothing else, unforgettable. Notably: the daily boy-girl battles — "You deserted us!" "We did not! You guys are just so immature!" There was Fall Proj- ect and the frenzied week of the national election climaxed by Mr. Pulliam's award to the best political guessers. And will we ever forget Bill Barber's $100 bet on the election or Madeleine's sixteen-foot Goldwater sign? Our term papers were finally due the first week in February... the second week in February... It was CARE Week that exemplified our true class spirit — our tape was without doubt the shortest. We did, though, make more money than any other class in our lucrative, if not delectable, smorgasbord. In sports we boasted the best J. V. team ever. There was, too, our very own Prom — Wien, Wein, und Walzer— complete with sparkling quinine water and Mr. Pease's camera at the hayride. The following summer we descended virtually en masse on CHS chemistry summer school and conducted the rather illicit but successful rummage sale. Despite all the adventures, this had undeniably been the Year of The Split. However, the summer had mellowed and matured us, and we came back for our last year at Uni determined to peacefully co-exist. In fact, we actually started having fun again. Though college pressures and the responsibilities of heading various activi- ties prevented us from being our former carefree selves, our class had taken a turn for the better. We began to take pride in our class — "without a doubt the best in the school." And what were our exploits in this happy Year of Reconciliation? You've just seen for yourself in the preceding pages. 90 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOW-URBANA 3 0112 056045039 *«* - *-'.■**# i
