Beginning with subfreshman year, Mr. Royer made us feel right at home with his welcoming speech. Freshman year, he aided us by substituting for Mrs. Nelson and by giving us the "Warren Royer Theory/' Sophomore and junior years went smoothly due to the leadership and persuasive ability of Mr. Royer, who managed to somehow — from somewhere — procure funds for our school. Finally, our senior year, we would like to give something back to Mr. Royer — our sincere thanks for all his help. _ r i ^** *g ^ rs i f/ * •- ,i'f * <;- - - - _ r * -J mi f 9 B « * ^H| IvEv X' ' ' WW. » ' r " 1 ^ *& ,' i | / a& i pap 9H 1 . ] v 'if ^ Whatcha looking at?'

Junior Varsity Chess The Chess club, led by William Jockusch (president), Mark Elder (secretary/treasurer), and Chris Butler (sponsor) was a top notch team. In nine league meets, the junior var- sity and varsity members matched their skills against the skills of other league members. Also, they par- ticipated in two invitationals — one in Aurora (which Uni won) and the other in Ot- towa (in which both A and AA teams competed).

Miraculously, the staff managed to put together the yearbook without killing each other . yet . and even managed to have fun (and pizza) every once in a while. Handbook The Handbook committee acquainted students with both the activities available to them as well as the school's rules and regulations. To familiarize them with Uni High, faculty and parents were also provided with handbooks. 18 Gargoyle Gargoyle, the school newspaper, was edited by Rick Burkhardt and Nina Paley. It was published once a month and featured articles about sports, events, and general Uni gossip. Frau Henry sponsored these budding journalists.
