We, the class of 1975, dedicate this yearbook 

to Miss Ella Leppert 






To a lady who painstakingly taught us the vir- 
tues of timelines, the 6:00 news, "base-laying," and 
Richard Hofstadter. Even on the days when our 
minds were blank (and there were many), you 
never failed to fill them with a vivid image of the 
living past. 

We love you, Ella Leppert. 



and to Mrs. Mary Hoag 





j. 








To a lady who patiently taught us "Julius 
Caesar" AND "Macbeth," benevolently allow- 
ed us to call her "Motley," put up with our 
self-important atheism and pompous 
cynicism, and after two long years of Rhetoric 
and 9:00 classes, could honestly tell us that 
she liked us. We love you, Mary Hoag.

The halls begin to fill with people. 
Some are sitting around talking and the 
jukebox is already playing. Frantic last- 
minute studiers race for the lounge to 
pour over a few more pages of the U.S. 
History text while others sit in front of 
their lockers with their closed books in 
front of them and blank looks of panic- 
on their faces. 

The bell rings, cutting sharply 
through the noise. Lockers slam and 
footsteps pound up the stairs. First hour 
classes always seem to last the longest 
because no one is quite awake or ready 
to concentrate. 



A Day 



7:30 a.m. Empty halls and silent rooms. 
The school is clean — a revela- 
tion — understandable only because classes 
haven't started yet. 

Bits of sound. A key unlocking the office 
door, voices rising and falling out by the 
bicycle rack, books being slammed down 
in front of a locker. 





•-■

^T 




Finally — the bell for second hour. Reserve 
books are hurled into the library slot. More peo- 
ple are arriving downstairs (if you haven't got an 
}?:()() class, why come until late?) and the noise 
level is rising. Third hour is especially noisy and 
its difficult to study in the first floor hall. 

The rest of the morning is uneventful. ^ ith 
lunch come countless meetings, stomped-on 
milk cartons. Form I students tearing insanely 
around the halls, and unbelievable noise. 



At Uni 



Sixth hour is more of the same, except 
the Formies have classes and the 
meetings are over. When the Seniors 
have sixth hour free, the atmosphere is 
saner. After all. aren't Seniors all- 
powerful and all-good? 

Seventh hour is noisy on the second 
floor hall. Those juniors and 
sophomores! 





The entire school seems to be free 
eighth hour. This hour lacks the frantic 
pace of lunch hour. The students are 
slowing down — it's been a long day. 
Several good souls are studying diligent- 
ly, but are collapsed in the Lounge or in 
front of their lockers. By the end of 
eighth hour, the school has assumed its 
normal end-of-the-day appearance: 
books and coats are strewn in front of 
the lockers, benches are out of place, the 
Lounge looks like a riot hit it. The 
floors are covered by grime: empty milk 
cartons, banana peels, left-over 
sandwiches. 



5:00 P.M. Empty halls and silent 
rooms. Hot and sweaty basketball 
plavers have departed. Mr. Rover has 
closed the Lounge. The outside doors 
have been closed against intruders (but 
they forgot the Lounge window, heh, 
heh). All is dark. Another day at Uni is 
over. 
(L.S.P.) 








Mr. Willskey's 
Farewell Picnic 






In October, Mr. Raymond Willskey, our 
faithful custodian, decided to retire after twenty- 
five years at Uni. Mr. Willskey was always on hand 
to change our dollar bills and quarters, to warn us 
when the candy and pop machines were out of 
order, and to have a friendly chat with. To show 
him our appreciation, Uni High bid him farewell 
with a picnic and a radio. 





\rrrph! Formies!

Dr. Robert B. Davis was our faithful Director of the Curriculum 
Lab and Uni's Principal, through thick and thin. Dr. Davis also 
taught math to the Form I class. 




Mr. Warren Rover was our Associate Principal, this v ear. Whenever 
vou looked into his office, he was either gone, talking on the 
telephone or in deep conversation with a facultv member or stu- 
dent. Mr. Rover was also the sponsor of Student Council. Yearbook.

bewildered students of Uni High. 
U'N'I is especially grateful for 
their help throughout the year-

Mrs. Cathy Harney, among her several jobs,

English 




"A pox on you!" Mrs. Mary Hoag at- 
tempted to control the Sophomore and 
Junior classes with good, strong, doses of 
Shakespeare, Hawthorne, Fitzgerald, and 
(her personal favorite) Hemingway! 




Mrs. Mary Fish kept herself occupied with the 
Form II class, and represented an important part 
of the "F" in SFAC. 



An enthusiastic journalism teacher, Mr. Don Deblasio, arrived se- 
cond semester, to struggle through his first class at Uni. He taught 
his class the intricacies of news stories, features and leads. 




"Don't worry girls. I didn't know 'til I was 
21, either." Mrs. Charlene Tibbetts shared 
the joys of Rhetoric, Chaucer and Debates 
with her two terrific Senior classes. She also 
sponsored Isnique and endeavored to 
civilize the Form I class with help from 
Mrs. Johnson. 



Dramatics 




"I can't hear you. kiddo!" Miss Marcia Hill, 
our fantastic director of Play, Spring Produc- 
tion, and sponsor for Big Show, also taught a 
drama class the importance of mime and self- 
control.

Science 



The most beautiful thing we can experience is the 
mysterious. It is the source of all true art and 
science. — Einstein 




"I love that word . . . NIBBLE!" 

This year. Mr. Douglas Dirks instructed two classes in the joys of 
Physics, and tried to make some sense out of the Advanced Science 
class. No biology was offered this year. 



Mathematics 




"Taking your garden-variety quadrilateral ..." 

A freshman, a sophomore, and a junior class ail had the benefit of 

Mi>- Eleanor McCoy's exceptional teaching this year. 




"Let's plug in those numbers." 

Mrs. Louise Myers succeeded in thoroughly bewildering three 

Chemistry classes this year and gave Mr. Dirks a hand with Advanced 

Science. 




"Do y'all want to play picafumi?" 

In his first year here at Uni, Mr. Richard Jolly instructed freshmen 

and sophomores in the intricacies of algebra. 



"In this case, you must use the 'aha!' method." 

Jim Evans, also new at Uni, was drafted to take over the horrendous 
job of teaching Senior Math. He also taught Math and computer 
programming to Form I's. 




15 



Guidance 



This year, the counseling department administered what was 
known as the S.R.A., in an attempt to figure out the achieve- 
ment levels of the students. 





Mr. Tom Low listened to those students who came into the 
counseling office with complaints and helpless expressions. He 
also was one of the Psychology teachers, when the course was 
offered second semester. 



Mrs. Barbara Francis, our Guidance Director, handled many of 
the important issues that students would ask her about, such as 
whether Uni is a private or public school. She also gave very 
helpful advice and suggestions to the Seniors on their college 
applications. 





Mrs. Luella Busboom, the guidance secretary, 
amazingly survived another year of Junior 
C.E.E.B. and A.C.T. questions, Senior College 
applications and Senior class ranks — not to men- 
tion those little green add-drop slips. 



Mrs. Lindley Redd, another one of our cheerful 
counselors, was the other teacher who coordinated the 
Psychology course. 



16 



Librarians 




Miss Janice Malec, our new assistant librarian 
filled those vertical files with pertinent infor 
mation trom the newspapers. 



Mrs. VanlNord, our trusty librarian, had to 
solve some of those obnoxious questions that 
students came up with. The classic form was, 
"Where can I find material on . . .?" 



Mrs. Pattie Greenwood was often found typ- 
ing up those nasty overdue notices that all 
students despise. 



Social Studies 




Miss Ella Leppert, our great Social Studies Executive 
teacher, was the U.S., Western Civilization, and Rus- 
sian History teacher, giving her classes "food for 
thought" and "laying (their) social, economic and 
political bases." 




Mrs. Ellen Johnson taught the sophomores the in- 
tricacies of Gandhi, non-violence, and the Bozo tribe 
on the Niger River. The Form I class also benefited 
from her expertise.

Mrs. Constance Curtin was the diligent teacher of Russian I and III- 
IV, and bravely agreed to be the Senior Class sponsor as well.

"Fischer Fritz fischt frischer Fische ..." 

Fran Elizabeth Wachs entertained as well as instructed four Cerman 

classes with her wit and her frequent smile. 



"Now Yahvveh came down to see the town and the 
tower that the sons of man had built. 'So they are all a 
single people with a single language,' said Yahweh. 
'There will be nothing too hard for them to do. Come, 
let us go down and confuse their language on the spot 
so that they can no longer understand one another.' 
Yahweh scattered them thence over the whole face of 
the earth, and they stopped building the town ..." 

Genesis 11:5-8

"Hie saltus est." 

Mr. Stephen Finley taught four Latin classes and had a Latin ban- 
quet besides. All the high Roman society was there and pronounced 
it a complete success. 



19 



Vocational Arts 




Mr. Chuck Douglas, whose cubbyhole is located in the 
back of the shop room, was an advisor to the new 
Form I class, a member of SFAC, the sponsor for 
Lounge Committee, the sponsor for Chess Club, and, 
of course, took care of the shop. 



Fine Arts 




"May I get that on tape?" 

Mrs. Wilma Zonn was this year's "Madrigals" and in- 
strumental ensemble director.

teacher, advised the students of those classes in their 
scientific projects. 




Dr. Cecily Resnick shared her knowledge of the com- 
puters and "integrated circuits" with the Form I and 
II classes. 



20 



Observation and Description 





Sharon Moriearty was one of the members of the O&D 
department. She could sometimes be found in the back of a 
classroom — observing of course. 



Wells Eddleman, also from the O&D department, haunted 
the halls asking such intriguing questions as, "How much 
time do YOU spend in the halls each day?" 




Paul Mailman instructed the Form I and II classes 
on the aspects of logic and problem solving. 




Larry Cohler observed the school 
through his video equipment. Classes, 
assemblies, and even basketball games 
were taped, to be viewed and discussed 
afterwards. 



Jody Douglas didn't spend so much 
time observing students in school. 
but instead, in their home en- 
vironments. 



21 




Phys ica I 



This year, all the P.E. classes went coed. There was also 
a shift in emphasis towards sports that the students were 
interested in. 



Dr. Karen Fry was the director of this year's P.E. depart- 
ment. 





Mr. Morry Reece taught a P.E. class during the first semester. He was 
also the cross-country coach. 



'*f\\

(loach Rick Tadelman courageously coached the varsity basketball 
team, this year, and taught one P.E. class second semester. 




Mrs. Monty Batson effectively handled two P.E. classes 
by teaching them tennis, self-defense, and volleyball 
skills. She was also the cheerleaders' sponsor. 



Coach Tom Blaze (unfortunately not pictured here) was the junior varsity 
coach. He also instructed a bunch of Seniors, Juniors and Sophomore 
about safe driving.

Orientation 







~*T\?« 








H 




This year, the orientation activities included a 
Form I orientation picnic in the late summer, 
along with the traditional orientation picnic, tea 
and the Howdy Hop. The picnics featured foot- 
ball, basketball, hot dogs, pop, and — we must 
not forget — gossip. Contrary to the past years, 
many more of the faculty joined the students in 
these activities. 

For live music, a band of three past and pre- 
sent Uni students made their debut at the How- 
dy Hop. 



28 




Russian works were the 
highlight of this year's 
Instrumental Concert. In ad- 
dition to the excellent perfor- 
mances made by the students, 
four members of the U. of I. 
School of Music faculty join- 
ed Mrs. Zonn in the concert.

Uni celebrated its 3rd Annual Halloween Par-

to share 
and then we succeed. 
A note from the director 







This year's fall play was a comedy, The 
Mouse That Roared . It was about a small 
wine-making nation that decided to 
declare war on the United States. The play 
was directed by Miss Hill, Anne Diggs, and 
Jenna Rubin. There were many new faces 
(and bodies) involved with the play this 
year. The combination of new people and 
old resulted in a successful and very en- 
joyable production.

Christmas 




- 



Christmas Dance 

The Christmas Dance was a fun-filled, 
gabby party. All participants, even some 
teachers, lost their inhihitions(?) and tried 
some fancy footwork on the dance floor. 
For those who were too tired, or possibly 
waiting for Santa Glaus, there was plenty 
of food, drink, and company. Eventually, 
the band, Freewheelin', who decibelled 
their way through the current hits, had to 
go home and tack up their stockings, and 
the frenzied Uni students had to follow 
suit. Too bad . . . however, there'll be 
another next year.

Events 





Christmas 
Surprise Party 

The annual Surprise Christmas Party, 
due to the vocal talents of our school- 
charmer, Mr. Royer, the faculty, and our 
lovely Madrigals, can only be described as 
extremely entertaining(?). The only disap- 
pointment was Mr. Royer's return by his 
abductors, the U.L.A. (At least, we think 
he's Mr. Royer!?!) Then, the language 
teachers gave a remarkable imitation of a 
Senior Rhet class. (How did they know 
that?) This was followed by Miss Leppert 
leading one of her many classes on a trip 
through Wonderland to the unspeakable 
evil, the Girl's Lounge! 

Meanwhile, the Davis C.I. A. was gather- 
ing intelligence on all these subversive ac- 
tivities. When the satires were completed, 
there was the annual attack on the 
gathered ice cream. After thinking over 
the whole affair, we must only conclude 
that the teachers were right!

Student Council 



Room 206 became filled with interested 
students and faculty on certain Wednesday 
student council meetings when the smok- 
ing lounge issue was being discussed. Stu- 
dent council also discussed about adopting 
a town-council system and taking class 
time to discuss the happenings at the 
meetings in an effort to get more student 
representation and involvement. 

STANDING: Mr. Rover (sponsor), Emily Chien, Anne 
Gillies. Karen Baum, Erie Yang, David Gloekner,

Andy Stone (vice president), John Bartle (parliamen- 
tarian). 





S.F.A.C. 



S.F.A.C. was organized late this year due to 
controversy over whether or not the organization 
should exist. It was finally formed and student- 
faculty relationships and problems were problems 
discussed. 



Members: Shawn Holliday, David Sprenkle, Andv Stone, Greg 
Baum. Dr. Davis, Mr. Rover, Mrs. Francis. Mr. Dirks. Mrs. Fish, 
Mr. Douglas and Mr. Evans.

Gargoyle 




Gargoyle had many new features this 
year, due to the creativity of the editors, 
Laurie Porter (1st semester) and Oren 
Lieberman (2nd semester), along with the 
cooperation of the reporters, the 
secretaries, and Mrs. Tibbetts (sponsor). 
They discovered an efficient new printing 
process, introduced a new headline, and 
featured a "Dear Mary", Vth, "The 
Noose", and "Letters to the Editor" 
column in most of the issues.

and even some faculty pictures, that you see on these 
pages. In addition, this year's group also took on the 
job of developing and printing some of the pictures.

distinguished panel of editors, who

Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven. (Milton) 

When the fun was done I would pack my bags and I was gone. 

Though the women were kind there was nothing to bind me to one. 

There were times when lonely was the only feeling left in me 

And the cold and the rain made it hard on a man to be free.

Somebody came, and she made me feel at home 

When I was a young boy I learned to survive 

'Till somebody came and stayed my sportin' life. (John Kay)

one.)" (Robert Benchley.)

Class History 



We arrive at Uni bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready for anything. Except Uni. Little do we know what 
fates will befall. Some of us will not even make it through. The rest of us will get through, and will have the 
wounds to prove it. 

Sub year begins with a bang. That bang is called P.E. The boys have Mr. Banion, a mean and surly tyrant 
who drives around in his Cadillac while the boys run beside him. The girls have Miss Schutt, one P.E. teacher 
who never had her masculinity questioned. "I don't see a drop of water on your body!" is her most quoted 
phrase. 

The other classes are no better. Mrs. Wilson, our music teacher, assigns each member of the class to write a 
musical composition "due a week from today". Mr. Tremblay's 3rd hour math class meets the infamous Dr. 
Szabo, and it's Love at First Sight. Miss Lamont teaches us all about Super Legatus and Tintinnabula. Despite 
all these obstructions, we continue to work laboriously. No one even mentions vices, though it is rumored that 
some were thinking about them. 

Theresa takes advantage of Jonathan. Mrs. Smith shoves cooked cabbage down the girls' throats. Our class 
song is "I-R-V-I-N-G M-O-U-S-E". Everyone mixes up Rae and Cathy because of their short hair. Rumors flash 
about concerning Tom-and-Louise. We are beaten up consistently by irate upperclassmen. 

Leora, Tony, Linda, Hal, Theresa, Paul, Beth, and Ted leave. 

We leave, too, for summer vacation, on to bigger and better things. 

Freshman year is rightfully different. We begin to learn a few of the important concepts of education. We 
learn it is possible to stay awake in school on only ten hours of sleep. We learn that homework can be knocked 
off at the last minute. We learn that the game of poker can be considered a job. 

We also find that certain genetic urges are stirring from within, and we begin watching members of the 
"opposite s-e-x" with greater satisfaction. The boys are even EAGER to rush to Miss Page's English class. To 
add to this, rumors about Tom-and Louise are becoming even more slanderous, stifled only by rumors about 
TYRONE and Louise. 

David, Anders, Towneley, Fred, Eric and Mark arrive. 

We enter the lounge for the first time. Seven of us faint. 

The boys' hair goes uncut. 

Mr. Tremblay yells at Pat. Mr. Hendrix and Mr. Guthrie take away squirt guns. Miss Page tells the girls 
how to sit. Mr. Sion tells us about "dunkey basketball". We study THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, and it's Jew 
vs. Gentile in an argument concerning Shylock. The extent of Mr. Kamanda's English is "What you doink?" 

We have our first look at language teachers, and we learn from Mrs. Campbell what fertile means. 

Parties begin to spring up. 

Carl, Anne (D.), Cathy, Pat, Vickie, Mark (P.), and Ramona leave. We wish them a fond fare-thee-well. 

Summer is spent at parties and lighting off flash powder at Hessel Park. 

Sophomore year begins. We reach the midpoint of our years at our beloved Alma Mater. 

Hal returns to haunt the halls. 

We become totally encompassed within ourselves by the little red lights on the clocks, that flash on at ex- 
actly quarter past the hour. 

More bake sales. No money. 

We meet Dick Heinsen. He is our Pal. 

Mr. Giles rules over his subjects with an iron hand. 

Gerhard breaks his arm. Delia breaks her leg. 

The boys make eyes at Miss Steward. The girls make eyes at Senior boys. EVERYONE makes eyes at Dr. 
Szabo. It seems he enjoyed our class so much sub year, he couldn't wait until we were reunited. Sophomore 
year he is our full time math teacher. He teaches us many important things. "You are just little lambs romping 
through the fields," he tells us confidentially, and we begin to learn already. Later, when we say we don't like 
pop-quizzes, he says, "Well, if you don't like pop-quizzes, then we won't have any. Instead, we'll have a test 
every day. If, on some day, we don't have a quiz — well, that's just one less test you'll have to take. "But, the 
greatest lesson of all that we learned from him was, "You don't deserve to know everything I know!" 

We yell at Miss Hill in English class every day, while she tells us: "If it doesn't work for you, don't use it." 

Tom-and-Louise is not as popular a rumor as it used to be. The rest of the class is too busy making their 
own scandalous trouble. 

But, despite the fun and fuss, the wit and wisdom, the trouble and turmoil, we are beginning to realize 
that something strange is beginning to occur: THE SUBFRESHMAN CLASS HAS DISAPPEARED! 

We lose Larry, Eric, Mark, Kevin, and Dr. Gregorc. The rest of us decide to stick it out Junior year. 



98 



And by the first day, we find that we should have left along with Larry, Eric, Mark, Kevin, and Dr. 
Gregorc. It seems that there is a new system at Uni concerning underclassmen. It is called Formie. 

Naturally, being a fairly conservative class, we were a bit wary of the change. After watching the program 
in action, we found that our fears had certainly been well-grounded. But, alas, there is nothing we can do about 
the mess. We throw Formies in garbage cans. We call them names (and the name they hate the most is "For- 
mie"). Even an anti-Formie newspaper is published, but nothing seems to help. We have no choice but to try to 
accept this New Deal as something too strong, too powerful, too ridiculous to try to change. 

Vickie returns, bringing illicit stories of the British. 

Anne and Mark (P.) also return. 

Beth, Ben, and Jim (Mc.) arrive. 

Ross's arrival marks the end of Tom-and-Louise. 

We lose Dick Heinsen. He left and went the way of past counselors. Over the summer we had thrown three 
parties in his honor, none of which he attended. 

Danny breaks HIS arm. 

Weekly bake sales keep Jim (B.) out of Chemistry. 

We work hard and prepare for our next year as Seniors. Mrs. Hoag tells us that our Junior year is the 
hardest. Then she turns the class over to a Mr. Cummerford, whom we call "Cumquat", among other things. 
Our favorite name cannot be printed here.) 

The boys' P.E. teacher is Don Michael. The girls have Labhart, Scott Marsters, Foreman, and 
Cushman — in short order. They are all quite a change from Banion and Schutt. 

We take Drivers' Ed and have a lot of fun with Mr. Langston. He has trouble with spelling. 

It would be pertinent at this point to mention something of the class constitution. We are only distantly 
related to those sweet, innocent little pussycats who cursed Banion and Schutt not five years ago. Oh, we are 
still sweet, but perhaps not innocent. Nor, indeed, are we pussycats. Instead, we are what is commonly referred 
to as riff-raff. 

David (S.) leaves us mid-year to pick up Vickie's trail in Great Britain. 

We invade the lounge once more, this time as antagonists, not as victims. 

The punch is spiked at our 50's dance. 

Jim (B.) moves in with Joshua — to grow a tail! 

McGovernites tell the rest of the class: "I told you so!" 

Parties, parties, parties! We can't get enough of them. Well, at least they get us out of the house. Several 
parties became famous for certain reasons. At Vickie's, Kathi Sherbert, an accepted Formie, gives everyone an 
inside look at her din-din. At Hal's, well, all of Hal's parties are famous. 

Dr. Davis arrives amid tossed fruit. 

Several romances spring up here and there, perhaps the most talked about being Shawn's and Kathi's. 
And they're still going strong now. 

We charge admission for prom, breaking an unprecedented precedent. 

We lose Hal, Fred, and Joshua. 

We go off for summer vacation, looking forward to our Senior year. The big event over vacation is Vickie's 
marriage to Roger Downing, whom she met in England. He worked in a bar, selling sponges to the barflies who 
were unable to hold their liquor. 

Senior year begins. We march down the hall on the first day of school kicking Formies with each stride. 
We are Seniors. SENIORS! We run, kick, scream, bite, maim, crush, wreck, raze, demolish, shatter and ex- 
punge. We are SENIORS. We are mature. 

The word Senior begins with "S" for "Skip". And that we do. "Who cares about classes?", we rightfully 
ask. "Who cares about school?" Not we, for sure. 

David and Larry return. 

A few members of the class entertain themselves and others by printing their own newspaper, a publica- 
tion that is immediately confiscated by the faculty. 

Shawn leads a congregation in demand of a smoking lounge. 

The class takes to smoking. There is a definite cigarette clique, an even more definite cigar clique, and a 
slightly undefined pipe clique. We prepare for our new smoking lounge, and when we don't get it, we make our 
own. 

A good many of the Seniors take up drinking, and have the good fortune of seeing several of Uni's most 
respectable counselors at several different bars on several different occasions. 

We again discover what we knew all along: there isn't much to do around school except go to class. This 
boredom promoted all sorts of weird activities, none of which can be printed here. 

We leave Uni, knowing it is all the better for us.
