In an effort to get a halfway serious picture of Stu- 
dent Council, our photographer took three shots 
which came out as far as photographic quality is con- 
cerned. But when the President of Council finally 
looked normal, the Senior Class Representative lost 
control of himself and did what he had obviously 
been thinking about doing for the two previous pic- 
tures. And then there are the other seventeen people 
making faces and doing other strange things who 
render it totally impossible to get even a halfway 
serious picture of a Student Council, which, despite 
their inability to look serious, did do a lot of work 
this year. 




Exec 



The Executive Committee of Student 
Council sets out the goals of Student Coun- 
cil and plans the agendas for the Student 
Council meetings with these goals and the 
week's business in mind. Exec consists of the 
three members of Council who are elected at 
large, the President, the VP, and the Treasur- 
er, and the two ex officio officers of S.C., 
the Parliamentarian, and the Secretary. The 
sponsor of Student Council works closely 
with Exec. 



Finance 



Finance Committee has the job of allocat- 
ing the funds of Student Council (Student 
Activity Fees) to the various organizations in 
need of funds. Finance is chaired by the 
Treasurer of Student Council and has as its 
members the treasurers of each class. Finance 
Committee is sponsored by the sponsor of 
Council. 



S.C. Workshop 

This year Student Council held a workshop. Offi- 
cers from the classes and organizations were invited 
to attend. At the workshop, Dr. Dirks gave a talk on 
organizing and leadership. Treasurers of the classes 
and organizations were briefed on how to get money 
from Council for their activities. The goals of Council 
were discussed. All in all, it was time well spent by 
Council members and organization officers. 




Handbook and 
Orientation 




Handbook and Orientation Committee plans orientation tours, 
the Orientation Tea, Orientation Picnic, and Howdy Hop, in ad- 
dition to revising and reprinting the Uni High Handbook. This 
year Handbook and Orientation was chaired by Emily Chien and 
Kevin Nortrup. They were helped by Chris Debrunner, Mark Wil- 
liams, Ducky Sherwood, Claire Hannon, and Carla Lieberman. 



Book Bar 



Book Bar is a nonprofit committee through which 
Uni students can sell their used text books. This year 
Book Bar was organized by Carla Lieberman and Dinah 
Sah. 




Milk Committee 



This year Milk Committee sold chocolate, skim, and 
regular milk out of the refrigerator in room 116. Diedre 
Shupp and Laurel Appel organized Milk Committee and 
had a staff of milk sellers. 



Gargoyle 



Regular features of Gargoyle this year included: Puzzles (Word 
Finds and KRYPT A QUOTEs were favorites), Sports coverage, 
S.C. summaries, Strange -but-true columns, Trivia Quizzes (Star 
Trek mostly but also on Wizards, etc.), Gossip, Poetry (with the 
author's name always mysteriously withheld), and stories— Super 
Subbie, Sophomore Supreme, Junior Thunderbolt, and Captain 
Illinek starring. There was a special basketball issue, a special 
chess issue, a Valentines Day issue, and a special end-of-the-year 
issue.

GARGOYLE, where it says that it first saw 
print in a Uni paper in JUST-US, October 9, 
1947, after having been originally printed in 
LION TALES, Abraham High School, San 
Jose, California.) 



"When's the last time you remember a seven page 
GARGOYLE, followed by a ten page GARGOYLE, fol- 
lowed by an eleven page GARGOYLE, and then followed 
by an eight page GARGOYLE, only a week later? Never— 
you say? Well, that doesn't surprise me one bit because 
such a task as that requires a lot of hard work and dedica- 
tion, just like the work and dedication that our (tiny) 
staff has put out, and it's fine time that you recognize the 
work that they have done— all for your reading pleasure." 
(GARGOYLE, February 18th, 1977; Jim Mayeda, editor.)

Lounge 
Committee 

This year Lounge Committee clean- 
ed the Lounge regularly, revitalized 
the juke box, put in a hot water ma- 
chine, authorized the construction of 
some new furniture by the Shop 
classes, and worked on revising its By- 
Laws so that they are clear, concise, 
and fair. 

The committee consisted of Walter 
Hansell, Emily Chien, Ted Boone, 
Julie Pfeffer, Jon Pines, Mark Williams, 
Jim Ang, Amanda Bowhill (not pic- 
tured), and co-chairmen Sarah Axel 
and Christian Debrunner. Mr. Chuck 
Douglas sponsored the Committee, 
providing invaluable leadership and ad- 
vice.

Work on the 1977 U'N'I started in the spring semester 1975-76. As the only non- 
senior member of the editorial staff of the 1976 I'N'I, I was obviously in line to be 
the next editor-in-chief. I tried to think of ways to make the U'N'I staff work more 
efficiently than they had in 1975-76; Kathy Murtha offered suggestions which she 
hoped would help me put yearbook back on a schedule which would allow it to 
come out on Class Night. 

I spent a lot of time during the summer planning for the ontime production of 
the 1977 I'N'I. As soon as school started, I assembled a staff to work on the U'N'I. 
The photographic staff was experienced, but the editorial staff had only very limited 
previous experience. Things started well: pictures were taken, I began to teach the 
staff the basics of laying out pages, the portrait pictures were taken, and work on 
the divider pages was begun. We made the first deadline by turning in the under- 
classmen section. 

But then the mechanism of taking pictures and having them printed and given 
to the editors who then make up the pages of the yearbook began to fail. Everyone 
had lots of other time commitments in addition to their work on the U'N'I. After 
missing a deadline or two my hope was only to get as much done as quickly as pos 
sible. After seeing nothing get done for a long time, I became very discouraged. I 
found it extremely difficult to push other people hard enough to get them to do 
anything. Long range planning and leadership were much more difficult than I 
thought they would be. 

So I more or less gave up. I regret that. I regret that I wasn't pushed by people 
around me to get the yearbook done. I regret that I didn't succeed in getting year- 
book production back on schedule so that the book would again ALWAYS appear 
on Class Night and be signed by the Seniors. I feel especially bad about the Class of 
1980 who have now been at Uni for two years and not seen a yearbook come out 
on time. 

At the end of the summer, before I went away to school, I panicked. I worked 
on the U'NT for the last few weeks before I left. I didn't finish but I enlisted some 
help and left some pages with them while I took some easily finishable ones (like 
this one) with me to school. 

Now it looks as if the 1977 U'NT may actually be finished— the last pages may 
actually be on their way to the printer in Kansas. Although the U'N'I has been a 
huge weight in my mind and I have come to hate it for being there and not at the 
printer, and hate myself for not having succeeded at re-establishing a good image 
for yearbook, I am very excited about the prospect of seeing the book in print. 

With my apoligies to all concerned and 
with my hopes for the success of all the 
future U'N'I efforts, 



U'N'I

Chess Club 

Playing chess is one of the most 
popular pastimes at Uni High. Chess 
Club serves the chess-playing commu- 
nity in several ways. First it maintains 
chess sets and clocks which are left on 
reserve in the library. Second it meets 
regularly providing a time for players 
to play under the supervision of Chess 
Club's coach, David Sprenkle, a former 
Uni student and one of the top chess 
players in Illinois. And thirdly, it pro- 
vides an organization through which 
players can compete. 

Competing members of Chess Club 
this year included Thomas Krause 
(who was away second semester), 
Robert Sah, Mark Zvilius, Gerhard 
Lueschen, Dov Cole, Peter Steinberg, 
Philip Parker, Josh Parker, Jon Atkin, 
and Andrew Kolodziej. (My apologies 
to anyone I accidently left off of this 
list.) It was found in early February 
that subfreshmen were ineligible to 
compete in high school chess tourna- 
ments, so after February 9th the sub- 
freshmen members of Chess Club did 
not compete. 

On Class Night, Chess Club honored 
Thomas Krause, their coach David 
Sprenkle, and their sponsor, Mr. James 
Evans, who helped with organization 
and transportation to tournaments and 
was a friend and supporter of Chess 
Club. 

Others listed as Chess Club mem- 
bers: David Norman, Ducky Sherwood, 
Toshi Nishida, Eugene Kao, Eddie 
Chen, Andrew Chien, Bill Burkholder, 
Chuck Sentman, Steve Schran, Theo 
Merritt, Joshua Paley, and David 
Brown. 





1976 ROANOKE-BENSON INVITATIONAL 

On November 13th, 1976, our chess team went to Roanoke-Benson to participate 
in their annual invitational high school chess tournament. At the same event last 
year, we won the first three rounds of four, losing only to West Leyden in the final 
round. Thus, we came this year with revenge in mind. 

As usual, we blanked our first round opponents, La Harpe, 10-0. 
In the second round, we tackled South Fork. We had played them in the district 
tournament last year. At that time, Robert dropped his queen to his opponent, so 
he came into this match with personal revenge as a motive. Our bottom two boards 
failed miserably, but our first and third boards, Thomas and Mark respectively, won 
(as usual!). Robert had many winning opportunities, but he let his opponent get 
away with a draw. Final score: Uni 6, South Fork 4. 

In the third round, we met our archnemesis, Georgetown. We were really ready 
for this match with our second strongest team playing, and the final score of 9-1 
showed it. Mark played an excellent opening and won easily. Robert, who has not 
beaten or lost to a Georgetown player this year, drew after playing another dubious 
opening. 

Finally, we got our chance at West Leyden, who scored an impressive 29/4 out of 
30 possible points in their first three rounds. Our fifth board, Josh Parker, played 
an excellent game to beat his opponent and get second place among all fifth board 
players at the tournament, but Gerhard died horribly in the opening and lost quick- 
ly. Mark won a piece in the opening, but missed many 

winning chances throughout the game. After a long, 
drawn-out battle, he ended up drawing his opponent, who 
got the first prize among third boards due to a better tie- 
break score than Mark (M.Z. has never won on tie-break in 
his life!). Robert played an extremely excellent piece 
sacrifice to beat his opponent and take home the third 
place trophy (due to coming in third in a four person tie- 
breaker). On first board, Thomas won quickly, with a 
good piece sacrifice. He took home the first place among 
all first board players! As a team, we got first place in the 
tournament, with a perfect 4-0 record, beating West Ley- 
den in the last round 7-3.

THE EASTERN ILLINOIS CHESS LEAGUE 

This year the Uni High Chess Team joined the EICL. The 
league consists of five teams: Georgetown, Rankin, Ridge 
Farm, Westville, and Uni. On five Thursdays throughout the 
year, two round robins are played among the five teams. The 
two round robins consist of five rounds each with two rounds 
held on each Thursday. A round consists of two matches 
with the fifth team getting a "bye" (a free point). Each team 
is made up of five players, arranged on five boards according 
to playing strength. 

The scoring system is as follows: 
# of points for Board 1 2 

win 3 2 

draw 3/2 1 

loss 

At the end of each round robin, the team which has won 
the most matches is given a "traveling" trophy. If a team 
wins two round robins in a row, they retire the trophy, and 
the league buys a new "traveling" trophy. In the case of a tie, 
the two teams that tie face each other in a one match playoff. 
At the end of the season, awards will be given to the two in- 
dividuals who score the highest percentage of wins and to the 
two individuals who accumulate the greatest number of 
points on the weighted scale (3-2-2-2-1). If a tie occurs, both 
players will receive trophies. 

On October 21 , 1976, our team, consisting of Thomas 
Krause, Robert Sah, Mark Zvilius, Gerhard Lueschen, and 
Philip Parker, went to Westville. In the first round, we played 
Rankin and won 10-0. Everybody won easily, except for our 
infamous third board player (M.Z.), who gave our coach- 
David Sprenkle— a heart attack by dropping an Exchange 



(giving his opponent a rook and only getting a knight), but 
he, through his truly indescribable talent and his opponent's 
sheer stupidity, won the game. In the second round, we played 
Georgetown, the only team in the league with any hope of 
beating us. Our two lower boards crumbled quickly, but 
Thomas won almost as quickly, while Robert drew. Mark 
took his time, but eventually scored the win to hand George- 
town a 6-4 defeat. 

Three weeks later at Rankin, we manhandled Ridge Farm 
with Thomas, Mark, Jon Atkin, Gerhard, and Josh Parker all 
winning quickly. Mark checkmated his opponent in only nine 
moves. We had a "bye" the next round. 

On November 18th, we went to Georgetown. In the first 
match, we played Westville. Everybody, except for Robert 
who played a miserable opening, won quickly. Robert came 
back for a victory in 35 moves. Rankin was unable to get to 
Georgetown for the second match so Uni won by forfeit. 

So at the end of the first round robin, we were 5-0 and 
thus took home the "traveling" trophy with high hopes of re- 
tiring it after the next four matches. 

In the first round in 1977, we lost 6&-3& to Georgetown 
playing without Thomas or the subfreshmen. In the second 
round, we avenged our basketball team's defeat handed by 
Ridge Farm of two days before, by blanking their chess team 
10-0. Still, due to the loss, we will probably lose the trophy. 
With this loss, we are 7-1 in league play, and 12-1 overall. 
Right now, it looks as if Thomas or Mark will win or tie for 
one of the league trophies. 

Our next match is on March 10th at the Illini Union. 
Spectators welcome!

GOYLE.

In Retrospect 



(This piece was reprinted in Gargoyle this year after having 
been printed originally in Gargoyle on January 28, 1972. It is 
by Laurence Lo.) 



Towards the end of the decade, a Lounge Committee was ap- 
pointed and after the purchase of a jukebox, the school was 
never the same. 



The first semblance of Student Council at Uni High was a 
group called the All-School Committee. This committee con- 
sisted of two representatives, one boy and one girl, from each 
class, and two advisors. Thus it was not as much a student 
organization as Student Council is today. 

The committee was divided into three subcommittees: social, 
assembly, and calendar. The social group planned all the 
dances and parties. The assembly section took care of pep 
rallies and the like. The calendar committee coordinated the 
other two and kept in touch with the students. 

The year 1942 was a very active one for the All-School C. It 
sponsored a scrap metal drive, victory corps groups, sale of 
war stamps, and established a lost and found. 

The committee became a more student-governed body when 
it changed its name to Student Council in 1943 and changed 
its structure to close to the present one (1970 one). The 
group consists of the president, the vice-president, the boys' 
representative, and the girls' representative of each class and 
an overall sponsor. During the first years of the newly created 
Student Council, a number of new committees were added: 
Elections, NHRP, Scholarship, Handbook, Noon Hour Milk, 
and the Tri-High committee with Urbana and Champaign 
High Schools. 

Reflecting increased democratic directions, in 1945 the coun- 
cil encouraged visitors to attend its meetings. Thereafter the 
first Monday of each month was visitors' day. As one of its 
continuing efforts for better government, the Student Coun- 
cil of the 40s undertook the task of writing and revising its 
constitution much in the same manner as we are doing today 
(and today too). 



At the turn of the 40s the age of automation definitely de- 
scended upon Uni with the installation of candy and soft 
drink machines. The Carnival, predecessor of Big Show, be- 
came a yearly affair. Dating back to the 50s are Book Bar, 
Howdy Hop and Orientation for new students. In the mid- 
50s, there were 15 Council committees. 

By far the most outstanding accomplishment of the 50s was 
a revision of the constitution which gave the subs equal rep- 
resentation in the Student Council. The concern for social 
welfare was manifested through the Block of Dimes drive and 
the CARE dances. As the decade turned, Student Council 
scored a big plus when it strongly supported the administra- 
tive effort to eliminate tuition. It also once again revised the 
constitution providing the method, still used today, of choos- 
ing the president and vice-president of Student Council at 
large rather than by council members. 

At the beginning of the 60s, the Student Council, having its 
organization and administration procedures will under con- 
trol, found time to engage in such philosophical discussions 
as pertain to the goals of Uni High. In the middle of the 60s 
the council concentrated its efforts on the smooth running of 
the school's extracurricular activities. An attempt to pass a 
new constitution failed in 1969. 

The year 1970-71 was one of frustration for the Student 
Council as an attempt to destroy its very essence was made. 
The year 1971-72 has started with the promise of a new con- 
stitution and an orderly conducting of affairs. The controver- 
sial issue of teachers' evaluation by students is presently at- 
tracting the council's attention. 

In addition to providing service to the school through its 
numerous committees, Student Council has afforded its 
members a valuable experience in government for the last 50 
years.

In Retrospect 

(This piece was reprinted in Gargoyle this year after having 
been printed originally in Gargoyle on February 24, 1972. It 
is by Laurence Lo, the former editor of Gargoyle.) 

Uni students have always had a desire and felt a need to put 
their literary abilities to good use through school publica- 
tions. 

In Uni's history there have been as many as four publications 
at one time. Uni students have exhibited their literary and 
artistic talents as well as their wit in the school yearbook, the 
newspapers, and the literary magazines. 

Uni has always presented a yearbook at the end of every 
school year. However, the first one did not come out in 1922, 
as might be expected. The first yearbook came out on Dec. 
21, 1921. It measured only 9" by 6". The yearbook contained 
pictures of the classes and original writing similar to the 
material published in UNIQUE at the present time, in addition 
to advertising. The original writing made the yearbook look 
very much like a literary magazine. Advertising was the 
system used to finance the yearbook. 

The senior motto was: "Early to bed, and early to rise, work 
like Helen, advertise," (Hmm??) It is interesting to see that 
the class pictures were group photos. At that time, there 
were two newspapers. One was published by the sophomores 
and was called SOPHOMORE PICKUPS and the other was 
the all-school paper called the TINY ILLINI. 

The second yearbook appeared in 1922, at the end of the 
first academic year. It contained individual pictures of seniors 
only, along with quotes. Original writing was still present. 
Each class had its own poem printed beside its picture. Also 
included in the yearbook were the Junior Response, Bacca- 
laureate, Commencement-Valedictory, Welcome, and of 
course, advertising. It was on this yearbook that the seal of 
Uni High "Unity of Spirit" first appeared. Since then it ap- 
peared sporadically on the yearbook cover, but very rarely in 
recent years. 

In 1933 a new publication came into being— the UNI HIGH 



NEWS. This was a weekly publication put together by a 
regular staff representative of all the classes and selected by 
faculty advisors from a group of applicants. The paper came 
out for four years. 

We did not find any record of a school newspaper from 1938 
to 1943. In 1944 Uni made a fourth attempt at a paper with 
the appearance of JUST-US. This publication began as a ju- 
nior newspaper but grew into an all school paper by 1949. 
The staff of JUST-US must have been very hard working and 
ambitious from the large, formal, special issues that they 
published at Christmas, Spring Vacation, and other important 
times during the school year, in addition to the regular week- 
ly issues. 

In 1954 JUST-US was superseded by GARGOYLE, which is 
now in its 19th year (make that 24th). The GARGOYLE 
staff printed special quarterly issues for several years. At its 
inception GARGOYLE was published on Thursday, but since 
1959 it has appeared at Friday noon. 

In 1960, GARGOYLE became the center of a school contro- 
versy as the Student Council debated whether or not it 
should be under their auspices. 

Another publication which appeared in 1954 and still exists 
today in UNIQUE. As the yearbook gradually grew larger in 
format and coverage with the yearbook staff on the scene at 
all athletic events and all-school functions, the original writing 
vanished slowly until it completely disappeared. However, 
Uni students were not to be left without a publication where 
they could record for posterity their inner thoughts and tribu- 
lations and that is how UNIQUE came into being. 

Last year (1971) a group of students from the junior class 
sponsored a satirical publication called GARGLE. It has ap- 
peared in ditto form and it is intended to put into practice 
the principle advocated by the old Latin adage, "Castiga 
ridendo mores". 

Thus the number and variety of journalistic attempts at Uni 
are a sign of the vitality that the student body has exhibited 
through the years.

Orientation Picnic started off the 
'76-'77 school year by welcoming new 
and returning students and faculty with 
the traditional food (hot dogs, buns, 
potato chips, ketchup, and relish with 
pop supplied by Student Council) and 
the traditional fun (volleyball, football, 
tennis, and trash can filling).

There were two square dances this 
year. The first was Howdy Hop, held 
in Levis Center; the second was the 
Thanksgiving Dance, which was held in 
the North Attic.

Debate 



This year the University of Illinois Debate Team came to Uni High twice to show 
the Juniors and Seniors and whoever else was interested a college -level debate. The 
two questions this year were: Should the U.S. use food as a bargaining point when 
negotiating with foreign countries? and Is Ralph Nader a threat to the American 
Consumer? After the presentation of each debate, the U of I Debate Team called on 
the audience for questions and/or comments, and then asked them to vote.

One Acts were presented this year on December 
10th and 1 1th in the North Attic. There were three 
one act plays and a performance by the mime troupe. 
The plays were directed by Oren Lieberman, with 
help from Patti Jenkins. 

GUNFIGHT: Wimple-Lindsay Reichmann, Sykes- 
Chris Debrunner, Slade— Richard Blaylock, Orville— 
Peter Kolodziej, Sarah— Marie Williams, Alma— Linda 
Pace. 

DEATH KNOCKS: Death-Mike Marder, Nat- 
Lindsay Reichmann. 

MURDER MYSTERY: Inspector Thwart-Dave 
Glockner, Detective Pry— Kevin Nortrup, Dr. Suture- 
Ted Boone, Miss Diddle— Claire Hannon, Breakwind— 
Diedre Shupp, Belcher— Nancy Brotherson, Dead 
Body— John Barriklo. 

The mime troupe had as its members Raffi Babak- 
anian, Linda Pace, Dave Glockner, Jason Greenberg, 
Nels Gullerud, Claire Hannon, Peter Kolodziej, Leslie 
Chandler, Diedre Shupp, and Ted Boone. 



Uni High was very fortunate this year to have as 
the Student Teacher in Theater Lee Lobenhofer, who 
has had lead roles in many University Theater produc- 
tions and productions at the Station Theater and else- 
where. Lee helped Patti Jenkins, the theater teacher, 
with her theater classes and with mime troupe, and 
taught Oral Interpretation in Senior English. 



The mime troupe plus other actors, and people in- 
volved in the technical side of theater went to the Il- 
linois High School Theater Festival this year. The 
mime troupe performed at the Festival, and a good 
time was had by all.

Annual Surprise 
Christmas Party 



This year, as usual, the members of the Uni community were led to the Annual 
Surprise Christmas Party by a parade of chorus members singing in the halls. At the 
ASCP, the faculty and staff put on a delightful show of skits and songs, afterwhich 
ice cream was served. 



Roar of the Greasepaint, 
Smell of the Crowd 



Do you remember seeing Chris Debrunner in a dress? Yes? Then you were at the 
Spring Musical, Roar of the Greasepaint, Smell of the Crowd. Mike Marder and 
Claire Hannon starred; Mary Ann Schran accompanied on the flute while U of I 
undergrad Kelly Brand played the piano. Beth Amsbary, a Uni alumna, directed, 
and Kim Snyder, Dana Sabath, and Noreen Riley (three undergrads in Dance Ed) 
helped with choreography. 



Agora Week 



This year Uni students and faculty took a week off from the usual classes and 
participated in Agora Week. During Agora Week, there were two trips (one to 
Chicago and one to an environmental study school) and many mini-courses given by 
both faculty and students in chess, cooking, French, crocheting, photography, com- 
puter programming, and writing poetry to name only a few. 



44 



Christmas Dance 



Christmas Dance is the annual semi-formal dance for the entire student body of 
Uni High. This year it was sponsored by the Junior Class and held at the Illini 
Union. 



Big Show 



Big Show, the annual student variety show which helps to raise money for 
X-week, was co-chaired by Oren Lieberman and Ted Boone this year. There were 
many great skits this year including a rendition of Abbott and Costello's WHO'S ON 
FIRST? done by Oren and Ted.

CROSS COUNTRY by Jim Mayeda reprinted from the Nov. 
5 th Gargoyle 

Cross country season for Uni High is now officially over, 
and our runners were not able to do better than a 2-?? record. 
Yet, nothing spectacular was expected after losing six of our 
top seven runners from last year, and, in fact, the two wins- 
one against Tri-Valley and the other against Wapella-were 
surprises! But our luck in the conference meet against our con- 
ference rivals did not continue, as Tri-Valley and the new con- 
ference champs, Wapella, romp over Uni. 

In the conference meet, everybody did not run up to par, 
except for Dan Bruner and Gerhard Lueschen— both of them 
ran close to their best times, as Dan, who finished first for Uni, 
ran about 17Vi minutes (3-mile course) and Gerhard, who fin- 
ished sixth for Uni ran about 19 1 /! minutes. Other Uni runners 
(in order of finish) were Paul Stevenson, David Norman, Jim 
Mayeda, Peter Kolodziej, and Ted Boone. Dan Bruner not only 
finished first for Uni, but also finished fourth in the race and 
earned himself a medal. Paul Stevenson, finishing a disappoint- 
ing 12th, won a ribbon. David Norman was edged out at the 
end of the race, but barely managed to earn himself a ribbon 
by finishing 15th. Jim Mayeda finished 16th and received no 
ribbon (only the top 15 do). 

An explanation for this poor outing is, of course, lack of 
improvement, but I personally feel that it is also something 
else— lack of team spirit. Sure, we're good friends, but it takes 
more than that to create team spirit. With the departure of 
Chris Wilcock, Mike Mueller, Joecoble, Martin Doebel, David 
Brooks, Ted Ross, and Andy Stone, not only did we lose abil- 
ity, but we also lost people who were able to push on other 
team-mates and keep spirits high. Next year, with the return 
of many of our runners, a better season is promised. 



The District Meet was held last Saturday. Unfortunately, 
cross country meets are hardly ever called off by rain, and this 
meet was no exception. (Remember how Friday and Sunday 
were clear, beautiful days; yet, Saturday, it had to rain on us!) 
This meet did not only get our Uni runners and most other 
runners muddy, but also caused a few sore throats. A great 
way to end the season— by catching a cold. The courageous 
(or stupid) runners who ran at District were (in order of fin- 
ish) Paul Stevenson, Dan Bruner, David Norman, Jim Mayeda, 
Ted Boone, Mark Williams, and Gerhard Lueschen. 

There are many people to thank. Not only is there our 
coach, Mr. McFarquhar, and Mr. Royer, there are— Mr. David- 
ian, for driving us to many away meets; Mr. and Mrs. Norman, 
who not only went to our home meets, but also supported us 
at away meets! ; Mr. Bruner, who came to our home meets, 
and Mrs. Bruner, who also came to our muddy, rainy, District 
meet; George Wood, who drove us to Clinton, and Patti Jen- 
kins, who came along too; Chris Debrunner and David Glock- 
ner, who took our wonderful pictures; Mrs. Cushman and Mr. 
Model, who cheered us on; and last, but not least, Marie Wil- 
liams, who helped with the vital, statistical tabulations. 

On the 1976 Uni High Cross Country team were Paul 
Stevenson, Dan Bruner, David Norman, Jim Mayeda, Peter 
Kolodziej, Ted Boone, Mark Williams, Gerhard Lueschen, 
Ducky Sherwood, and Richard Blaylock. Also, a special note 
for Claire Hannon, who did join the team and did give us a lot 
of team spirit. 

Teams do not exist without losses, and next year, we will 
be missing the talents of two of our top seven runners, Ted 
Boone and Peter Kolodziej. We will be needing new people to 
fill their "shoes." Everybody is welcome to join, and we will 
be expecting to see new faces on the team next year.

Varsity Basketball 
76-77 



During the 1976-1977 season, the Uni High Illineks worked hard, played good 
basketball, and had fun. Although luck was not always with them, they always 
fought hard to the end.

Many students devoted their time and effort this year to help 
the team. Kevin Nortrup and Jason Greenberg operated the 
scoreboard. Sarah Axel and Leslie Chandler served as the 
Varsity and Junior Varsity scorekeepers, respectively. Ducky

In Retrospect 

(This piece was reprinted in Gargoyle this year after having 
been printed originally in Gargoyle on October 8, 1971 . It is 
by Laurence Lo.) 

The first year of athletics at Uni High was 1923. Two inter- 
scholastic activities, basketball and swimming, took place 
that year. From that time to the present, basketball has been 
a regular feature at Uni. 

The first basketball team had a record of one win against 
eight losses under the coaching of Mr. Slaymaker. The only 
win was against Oakwood. 

"Jimmy" Fraley was Uni's first basketball star. The other 
athletic activity was swimming in which Uni accumulated a 
1-1 record under the coaching of Mr. Singer. 

The next year Uni expanded its interscholastic sports activity. 
The basketball team improved to a 4-8 mark. Track and cross- 
country were added to the program. 

In Uni's fifth year, the basketball team gained a 4-8 record, 
defeating St. Joseph, Tolono, and Ogden twice. 

The 1926-27 season might best be described as a parallel of 
1970-71, as the Buckeyes, as we were known, sported a 1-12 
record, defeating only Onarga Military Academy. 

The next year was a very impressive one for Uni basketball 
with the advent of the first junior-varsity team and the first 
winning season as the JVs earned a 3-1 record. 

Uni's basketball team continued its losing ways from 1927 to 
1934. During that time track teams were only sporadically 
organized. 

In 1933 the first wrestling team was in existence. It might be 
interesting to note that in the 1932-33 season the basketball 
team made it into the second round of the District Tourna- 
ment with only a 3-15 record. 

In 1934 Coach Willmer Alstrom, one of Uni's most devoted 
and faithful coaches, put together a team that earned a 9-8 
record and took sixth in the county. This team carried the 
high scholastic average of 4.58. 

The team was particularly proud of this fact because it 
showed that athletics and scholastic excellence can go hand 
in hand. 

Intramural athletics were heavily emphasized with basketball. 
Softball, swimming, and tennis. The wrestling team earned a 
3-6 record and the track team was taking shape. 



The 1935-36 season was the last losing season for quite a 
while. The following year the team carried a .500 record of 
9-9. 

Starting with the 1937-38 season, it was all uphill for Uni in 
basketball for nine solid years. The first winning season for 
the varsity was in 1937-38 with a 10-8 record. Just before 
the turn of the decade the team was definitely gathering 
momentum as it took fifth in an eighteen team county with a 
record of 14-7. At the turn of the thirties, Uni was sparked 
to a 16-7 record, 6-1 in the county, and lost its second game 
in the regional to Champaign. 

The winning streak continued through 1943-44 when the 
Buckeyes' efforts finally paid off. During this season, the 
team compiled a 24-4 record enroute to becoming the 
county champions. The following year Uni repeated its feat 
of the previous year and became county champs again. Again 
it lost to Champaign in the regional. 

The year of 1945 was the last of this memorable winning 
streak. In 1946 the team managed only a 9-12 record and 
thus began a 16 year losing streak (to 1962) broken only by 
a 10-10 season in 1956-57. 

During the years of excellence in basketball, other athletic 
activities such as interscholastic track and wrestling and in 
intramural sports for boys and girls gained in popularity. (In- 
tramural was so important that in 1945-46 it was required 
for all students not in a varsity sport.) 

In 1945 a six-man football team was being assembled for par- 
ticipation the following year. The first team surprised most 
people by accumulating a 3-2-1 record. The games were 
played on Illinois Field. 

The best year for Uni football was 1950-51 when the team 
went 6-2. Two years later Uni came in third in an eight-team 
conference called the Illini Valley. 

At the end of one of the poorest seasons, that of 1953-54, 
football endeavors ceased to exist at Uni. Efforts have not 
been made to reinstate a football team at Uni since. 

A new sport was quick to replace football and gain popularity. 
In the 1954-55 season the first cross-country team was 
organized and earned a respectable 2-3 record. The cross- 
country team had a 2-5 record in 1959-60, but the following 
year it was undefeated at 6-0.

In Retrospect 

This was only the beginning of a period of prosperity in cross- 
country, for until 1964 the team was undefeated, compiling 
a total of 17 wins and 1 tie. From 1963 to 1970 the team 
carried winning records, not losing more than three meets in 
one season, and sporting undefeated seasons in 1965-66 and 
1967-68. 

This period was characterized by the excellent coaching of 
Arden Crawford and Ken Olson. The 1967 team was so out- 
standing that it managed to win two invitational meets on 
the same day. 

The team fell to a 3-5 mark in 1970. However, cross-country 
will probably remain Uni's most successful sport in years to 
come. 

The basketball spirit was revived in 1962-63 when the team 
surprised area basketball fans by accumulating a 14-10 record, 
taking second both in the Cerro Gordo Holiday Tournament 
and in the County after upsetting ABL in a historic game. 



The JVs were also very successful that year, managing a 10-7 
record with a 7040 smash of Wapella. 

Up until 1963-64, the team had played its games in the Uni 
High gym. However in that year games were switched to Huff 
Gym for one game and then settled permanently in Men's 
Old Gym. The changing of gyms did not help Uni's cause, 
however, and the team began a winless streak of more than 
30 games in 1968 which was broken only in 1971 by a win 
over Onarga Military Academy. 



Among basketball records for Uni High, Doug Brown holds 
the record for most points in one game, and most points in 
one season. He got 477. (Trent Barnhart scored 459 points in 
1973-74, playing two less games than Doug, and Jim Burnett 
scored 401 points, playing in three fewer games than Doug.) 
Closest to Brown's 38 points in one game in recent years was 
Dick Broudy's 33 in 1970, although Jesse Dixon, Uni's no. 2 
(now no. 3) all-time scorer for one season with 453 points 
had 30 on several occasions in 1965. (Jim Burnett has hit 
35, and Trent Barnhart hit above 30 a couple of times— exact 
figures not available.) 



Although Uni's future has looked dim in recent years, there 
is hope that the era of the forties and sixties will again re- 
turn, bringing fame and glory to Uni in the athletic world. 

There are a few other facts which should be mentioned in 
covering Uni's athletic endeavors. In the late 50s there was 
a sub basketball team which played a season schedule. This 
was reactivated in 1970-71. 

In 1960-61 Uni had a baseball team which came in first in 
the county. Starting in 1960-61, there was a golf team which 
competed for several years. On and off, Uni has had a fencing 
club. 

All in all, looking at the history of athletics at Uni, we find it 
no different from any other of its kind: it had its shining 
moments of glory as well as its dark moments of defeat.

Every year, the Orientaion Committee works long 
and hard, revising the STUDENT HANDBOOK. The 
HANDBOOK is supposed to help orient new students 
to the ways and wiles of University High School. 
Unfortunately, it is written in language hard 
for a third year legal student to read, much less 
someone fresh out of grade school. So this editor 
has written his own HANDBOOK, in a language and 
format that subbies can understand— nursery 
rhymes.

Where will our school go?

From whence our monies flow."

He's down at the Union, trying to be "cool". 

Sub, be nimble! 

Sub, be quick! 

Sub, jump over that candle stick! 

Please roll that penny down the hall with your nose. 
And please pardon me when I stomp on your toes! 
Your first year at Uni is really a blast, 
For your initiators, the great SENIOR class! 

Sandwiches hot, 

Sandwiches cold, 

Sandwiches on the floor, 9 weeks old! 

Some like 'em hot, 

Some like 'em cold, 

But who likes 'em on the floor, 9 weeks old? 

Little Miss Muffet 

Sat on her duffet, 

Cutting her classes one day, 

When along came a teacher 

(A horrible creature) 

And frightened Miss Muffet away. 

Sally and Pete 
Thought 'twould be neat 
To go up and neck in the attic. 
But someone found out 
And started to shout 
Against P.D.A.— a fanatic. 

Little Tommy Wesson 
Works on his lesson. 
It's due tomorrow— 
Isn't life distressin'? 
How will he finish it 
Without e're a source? 
How will he graduate 
Without e're this course? 

Little Bo Peep 

Needs some sleep 

And doesn't know where to find it. 

She "drops off in class— 

And the rest follow EN MASSE. 

Let's hope the teacher won't mind it! 



Mary had a little book- 
Its pages were quite many. 
'Twas filled with names and dates and such, 
And worth a pretty penny. 

She'd visit all the local bars 

And note the teachers there. 

She watched their houses and their cars 

And wrote down all the pairs. 

She never studied, got all A's 
And apples from her teachers. 
She now works for the C.I. A — 
Some work, but she's richer. 

Jack Sprath could do no math, 

His friend could do no Chem. 

They helped each other with their work 

And no course bothered them.

Dig your well 

before you become thirsty. 

-Chinese Proverb 

It is better to live rich 
than to die rich. 

Quality. There is hardly 
anything in the world that 
some men cannot make a little 
worse and sell a little 
cheaper, and people who 
consider price only are this 
man's lawful prey. 

—John Ruskin 

If wealth can't bring happiness, 
it can often make misery a little 
more comfortable. 

The secret of financial success 
is to spend what you have left 
after saving, instead of saving 
what's left after spending. 




We must achieve all that is practical 
while we strive for what is ideal.

Because you are my friend, I have

For you are me, outside of me, 

a separate part, that laughs with me, 

and weeps a tear, if I should need a tear, 

or offers an arm to offset harm 

whenever harm is near. Anon

"The most beautiful thing we can experience 
is the mysterious. It is the source of all 
true art and science. He to whom this 
emotion is a stranger, who can no longer 
pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is 
as good as dead: his eyes are closed .... 
To know that what is impenetrable to us 
really exists, manifesting itself as the 
highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty 
which our dull faculties can comprehend 
only in their most primitive forms— this 
knowledge, this feeling, is at the center 
of true religiousness. In this sense, and 
in this sense only, I belong in the ranks 
of devoutly religious men." 

Albert Einstein 




Christian Huff Haile 



"Well I hit the rowdy road, and many kinds I met there, 
many stories told me of the to get there, ooh. 
So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out, 
there's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to 
find out, ooh." 

-On The Road To Find Out 
(Cat Stevens) 



"How can I try to explain, 'cause when I do he turns 

away again, 
It's always been the same old story. 
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen, 
now there's a way and I know that I have to go, 
Away, I know, I have to go." 

—Father and Son

"Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption and 
he passeth from the stink of the didie to the stench

1977— A Class Odyssey 
(A Class Odd To See) 



1977— ah, that was a very good year for Seniors! It was a 
year far finer than any previous year and, from the looks of 
things, any year to come. There were nineteen— count 'em, 
19— wonderful Seniors that year, and we are they. 

We entered Uni for our 8th and/or 9th grade season. We 
came from all over the twin cities to participate in a wonder- 
ful experiment called "Form I". In this program, we had few 
if any classes and were instead allowed to roam freely around 
the school, the campus, and East Central Illinois. The idea be- 
hind the whole thing was that we, being bright, curious, and 
inquisitive little children, would find something that interested 
us enough to do a project about it. Of course, everybody's 
favorite projects were: rubber band fights in room 109 
(which, by the way, was the central menagerie); the destruc- 
tion of typewriters, tables, chairs, pop bottles, lockers, elec- 
tronic equipment, library books, mousetraps, and anything 
else which was in the least bit movable and did not bite us 
first; pinball and pizza combinations at Garcia's; writing & 
playing slot machine games on the PLATO and DEC 10 com- 
puters; throwing rats and paper airplanes out of the Biology 
Lab window; and a bit of poker when Giles was busy chasing 
someone else for one of the above. The Class of '78 had the 
pleasure of co-existing with us. Steve became a permanent 
fixture in room 109. Seymour Papert brought his turtles, his 
balancing boards, his bean bag juggling, and his bread-baking 
from MIT. Squirt guns rose and fell in one week as the most 
popular weapon. Upperclassmen (a.k.a. "them") declared open 
season on "Formies" (a.k.a. "us"), and garbage cans saw their 
first usage in years. 



Despite all these positive results, the administration does not quite regard the program as 
a success; as a result, we are pushed rather unceremoniously into standard classes, schedules, 
and discipline Sophomore year. Philippa and Jimmy join us. Chris D. sets a new world's 
record for most garbage in a single locker. Graffiti and vandalism hit a new high, as do some 
people. David has a party. Paul has a liquor cabinet in his locker. Poker continues. Vickie, 
who has left us, drops by periodically,— preceded by alerts. The PE department is acquired 
by the College of Applied Life Studies (PE) and, in turn, it acquires Tadelman, Blaze, and 
Avallone, on loan from the St. Louis Zoo. Mrs. Johnson brings us tree branches, sign lan- 
guage interpretations, seating charts, and exotic dinners, at one of which Paul and Marcy 
have a hot-pepper-eating contest; Paul wins, Marcy winces. Mrs. Hoag tries to both tame us 
and convince us that "The Once and Future King" is NOT a "book". Miss McCoy introduces 
garden variety quadrilaterals, while Mr. Jolly has Re-re-re-re-tests. Mrs. Meyer in vain makes 
attempts to demonstrate that "grams cancel and moles end up on top". The JV basketball 
team actually wins a game. Our Sophomore year ends. 



88 



Junior year is . . . well, it just IS. Eight A.M. finds us in Mrs. Tibbetts' English class, 
either asleep, bored to tears, or fiercely arguing with her. Mrs. Gordon has her personality 
split two-for-one, one for each class: the "bit dog hollers" and "You have digressed as an 
individual" hour and the "happy hour". Miss Leppert, herself a cornerstone of Uni High, 
lays for us bases and talks about the Renaissance "for the next few centuries". We mysteri- 
ously gain Julia, Diana, and Norma. We have lost Marcy among others. Mr. Dirks impresses 
us with his forces of attraction, his never-to-be-washed-again -Olivia-Newton-John leisure 
suit, his joke books, and the spirit of innovation which leads Chuck to declare that he "can 
tell time with a watch", and leads Dinah to display what will later get her into MIT. We are 
adopted by Mr. Douglas, some more than others. We have more parties. The bell tower and 
the bowels of the school become a favorite haunt of some of the more adventurous of us. 
Julie grows radishes for both Statistics and Physics at the same time. 



On that note, we cannot help but enter our Senior year with 
a yawn. Kevin tries desperately to convince everybody that 
there is a school newspaper and that he is the editor, but to no 
avail. Julie discovers Mr. Ball and Mr. McFarquar. Carla dis- 
covers paper airplanes. Steve retains his soap opera and caffeine 
habits and acquires new ones. Ms. Morris soothing tells us not 
to worry about it, where "it" is anything from a failing grade to 
a fire sweeping through the BioLab. Mr. Evans paces the floor 
in Calculus, evidently recalling his drive from Mahomet in his 
Porsche. Mr. Rogers babysits us in U.S. History class. Mrs. Hoag 
returns for a rematch. Kathi is gone, so Philippa is Class Presi- 
dent. Marc breaks a bottle of wine in front of his locker. Oren 
has some parties. We have Jim and Sarah, and Emily and Walter. 
Mr. Lysy teaches us Philosophy, and only Walter does the home- 
work. Jimmy shines in basketball, while Chris D. and Jim play 
tackle basketball. Oren has his hair done like Philippa's. Ted is 
cute. Jon learns to speak English (as opposed to jargon). Chris 
H. invokes God in his English debate. We have a class camping 
trip, in every sense of the word. We graduate-Kirsten decides to 
stay. Many of us promenade. We all ride off into the sunset of 
Uni High, about to enter the quasi-real world of college. We 
leave our Senior-ity in the scarcely -capable hands of the Class of 
'78, and hope that the real world does not judge us too harshly. 




The Class of 77 Leaves . . . 

Its Will 



I, Jim Ang, leave my cold cans of ravioli and chicken noodle soup to Lippold 
Haken, WITHOUT a can opener. 

I, Sarah Axel, leave my organizational ability to Jane Gladney to help her 
deal with the Class of '79. 

I, Theodore Sebastian Patrick Boone, leave my charm to Dov Cole, my grace to 
Linda Pace, my wit to Gerhard Lueschen, my coolness and modesty to Mark 
Freidman, (they need it); and Miss Morris to Jeff (provided she leaves me the 
van). 

I, James Lee Burnett Jr. the 2nd, leave my popularity with the Class of '80 to 
Mark Friedman, my skill in handling balls to Peter Kolodziej, my cool 
personality to David Norman, and my gold plated drum sticks to Dan Bruner. 

I, Emily Chien, leave my charm (which I used to balance the Council budget) 
to Robert Sah. 

I, Chris Debrunner, leave my squirrel to Meesh. 

I, Christian Haile, leave my cowboy boots to Louie DiBello, my pullover shirts 
to Ricky Campione since he doesn't know what buttons are for, and my charm to 
Al Davidian. 

I, Chuck Jacobs, leave my special skills to Mark Williams so that he will not 
be hindered by closed doors in his future. 

I, Carla Lieberman, leave my digressions to Kazuko Suzuki. 

I, Oren Richard Lieberman, leave my colossal affrontary and unmitigated gall 
to Steve Glockner who needs all he can get. 

I, Philippa Norman, leave my afro to Louie DiBello and my brother David to 
Carletta Donaldson. 

I, Kevin Nortrup, leave the secrets of the school to Mr. Davidian. 

I, Julie Pfeffer, leave my fuzzy hair to Alison Rieber who needs it, and the 
P.E. teachers to Claire Hannon. 

I, Jonathan Pines, leave Rohini Palit my enthusiasm and school spirit, along 
with my sterling attendence record. 

I, Dinah Sah, leave my musical talent to the South Attic Band (it needs it). 

I, Kirsten Uggerby, leave my astounding beauty to Alison Rieber. 



90 



But we won't leave the power 
to the Class of 78 



Laurel Appel is a fruit, to be sure. 
And Blaylock's so greasy, he's sick. 
Amanda, dear soul, has her head in the clouds, 
While Nancy is short— but not quick. 

Art Buckler's a prevert, corrupting Dov Cole. 
Dave Glockner's a power-mad creature ; 
His brother (called Stephen) is a mouse, we all know. 
Jay Greenberg's large nose is his feature. 

And Lippold will eat all that won't bite him first, 
Claire Hannon will play "Senior Belle". 
Tom Krause will return and devote self to chess, 
And Gerhard's small brain will soon gel. 

Mike Marder will kill all the school with his music; 
Mayeda and Pace will die first. 
Jill Pirkle will flirt with the Tri-Valley team, 
But life without Lindsay's no curse. 

Alison will think that humanity's doomed. 

All year Robert Sah will play chess. 

Diedre Shupp still won't know what a "narc" really is; 

Peter Steinberg will still look a mess. 

That blond Viking Paul will start coaching girl's track, 
Poor Marie will use up all her charm. 
Mark Z. will push pawns on the basketball court— 
And you wonder why we feel alarm? 

We kicked them all out at the end of Form I— 
We deemed them an unworthy bunch. 
And now the time's come to hand over the reins, 
And we find we were right in our hunch. 



And when we leave, 
where are we going? 

Our predictions: 

Jim Ang brings home from Japan the first transistorized ravioli 
can with liquid crystal display. 

Sarah Axel becomes a bullfighter. 

Ted Boone becomes a masseuse and Mr. Rogers becomes his 
first client. 

Jimmy Burnett becomes the first center under 6' to play for 
an NBA team. 

Emily Chien replaces Edith Head on the world fashion scene. 

Christian Debrunner works for Prudential as the rock. 

Steve Dunatov becomes a typical American housewife. 

Chris Haile walks a mile for a Camel. 

Walter Hansell becomes the first President of the NY Stock 
Exchange to wear blue jeans. 

Chuck Jacobs becomes a couselor at summer camp. 

Carla Lieberman works in a hardware store selling Scots Turf- 
builder. 

Oren Lieberman becomes the first centerfold in Newsweek. 

Philippa Norman does ads with her guitar for Afro-Sheen. 

Kevin Nortrup writes joke books for Dr. Dirks. 

Julie Pfeffer marries several P.E. teachers. 

Jon Pines becomes a used car salesman. 

Marc Reid starts WW III by dropping hydrogen atom bombs 
on Moscow from his own glider. 

Dinah Sah disproves the Law of Gravity. 

And Kirsten Uggerby becomes the cutest female jockey ever!

and doesn't escape from my fingers- 
please be like an everlasting gust."

Heaven is not a place, and it is not a time. 
Heaven is being perfect. 
—Richard Bach 

You know that love finds someone while tequila moonlight 

Pours from the sky to the city below 

And I don't know why your hearts are so heavy 

Come on Light up Light up 

And let yourself go. 

— Jimmie Spheeris 

And we all know it's better 
Yesterday has past 
Now let's all start the living 
for the one that's going to last. 
—Cat Stevens 

And if you listen very hard 
the tune will come to you at last. 
When all are one and one is all, 
To be a rock and not to roll.

"It is written: 

That given amy one of a thousand million possible paths, 

life will take them all . . . 

It is written that this is what the vast unknowing 

interstellar stage is for: To be given consciousness 

and purpose while its gift of existence lasts. 

It is written . . . 

That in the end all will be darkness and silence again; 

But that while it lasts, life spreads through it, 

to make it aware of its own vastness and beauty, 

which otherwise it can never have known. 

This is a gift; but the Giver is unknown. 

That too is written." (James Blish) 

"It [music] revives and readapts time and space, and the 
measure of its success is the extent to which it makes 
you an inhabitant of that world— the extent to which 
it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, 
special air." (Leonard Bernstein)

I would like to express my thanks to all of the people who helped to make the 
1977 U'N'I a reality. 

My staff, almost all of whom had no experience on yearbook staff when they first 
joined me, were a tremendous help. My thanks to Oren, Carla, Dinah, Ted, and 
Emily; and to Nancy, Jason, Alison, Diedre, David, Marie, Claire, Amanda, and Jim 
Mayeda, on whom the Uni High community depends for 1978's U'NT. 

Photographs are the most important part of the U'NT. The taking, developing, and 
printing of the pictures is the hardest and most time consuming part of the pre- 
paration of the U'NT. For their work taking pictures, I thank Ducky Sherwood and 
Nancy Brotherson. For their work taking pictures and their long hours in the dark- 
room, I thank Mark Williams, David Glockner, and Chris Debrunner. And I thank 
Jim Ang for the organization of the photography for the U'NT, and for his dark- 
room work and picture taking. 

A special thank you goes out to Philippa Norman who did the Art Work for the 
U'NT. Also the Warren Royer, who gave priceless advice and encouragement during 
the preparation of the 1977 U'NT. Other special thank yous go to June Mank and 
Sheri Melzer for their cooperation and understanding. 

The Underclassmen and Senior pictures were taken and supplied free of charge to 
yearbook by McCandless Studios. My thanks to them. 

And a special thanks to all of the people at InterCollegiate Press and to Don Zim- 
merman, our company representative, for the work they do on the U'NT.
