“You almost killed me in driver’s ed,” said a man who looked vaguely familiar.

I got close enough to scan his name tag.Steve Nichols. I squinted. That’s Steve? Sure.I could see the boy in the man, but the manwas a lot cuter.

“Remember how the street you lived on curved after your house? We were drivingdown your street, and youwere pointing at your houseand almost went straightwhere it curves,” he said.

Some things never change,even 33 years later. “I’m still a lousy driver, Steve,” I said.“No accidents, but people arealways complaining about mydriving.”

I do not remember this spe-cific instance Steve cited at ourclass reunion the weekend ofJuly 15 to 17, 2005, probablybecause much scarier incidents have crowded it out. But it’s embedded in Steve’s memory.

Memory is a funny, funny thing, I mused more than once during the reunionweekend. What is crystal clear to some people is lost in fog for others. Why is that? We shared a moment. Why does oneperson seize on it…and another forget?

Kim Niemi, for example, came up toapologize to me for the bad way she treatedme at her slumber party…was it in seventhgrade? Eighth grade?

“You were having one of your allergyattacks,” she said. Yeah, that happened…alot. “And I just got on your case about itand I made you cry. And I’ve always wantedto say I was sorry for the way I acted.”

Well, Kim, I cried a lot in grade school.(And blew my nose a lot, too.) I don’tremember that specific instance, though I do remember the slumber party.

Repressed memory? Guess it’s recoverednow.

Classmates hold memories no other people in our lives contain, except for family. We remember our first drives, our

first broken hearts, stolenpuffs on cigarettes, being badat Girl Scout camp. We knowthe people we were onceupon a time. We remembereach other’s parents, siblings,pets, and basements.

Chip Kieswetter remem-bers how “cool” my olderbrother was as the neighbor-hood knock-hockey champ.My brother hasn’t been calledcool for some time now.

Janet Young remembers my cute little red-haired

scamp of a nephew I adored. He’s now 35.It’s fun to remember who we all were and

to get a glimpse of what we have become.We all knew John Campbell was a gifted

jazz pianist. But who knew how great hewould become? We all knew how muchMike Degnan liked to postulate. Becominga philosophy professor fit him to a “T.” I was surprised how many people remem-bered my love of writing. Did it really allstart way back then?

In 2005, there were many classes from1955 who hosted reunions. Ditto for theClasses of ’70 or ’80. But ’73?

Maybe math was never our strong point.Getting together didn’t seem to be, either.After our 10-year reunion, the expected

15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th failed to materialize.

But all it took was one woman out of our class of 150 at University High Schoolto get the ball rolling. That shows the powerof one.

Becky Roderick Ehredt decided we needed a reunion. [Note: Becky says this wasa JOINT effort with Tom McAdam, whomwe love dearly for the extraordinary investiga-tive work he did to find us all.] God bless her.So many of us agreed—60 classmates in all,which is truly a remarkable number. And weflew in from all around the country: Florida,Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Virginia,the Carolinas, and even Switzerland.

We called it “Turning 50 Together,” andit certainly was a heck of a lot more funthan our 10th, when we were a callow 28.

That one was slightly… I don’t know…unfulfilling?

Here, the bonding was genuine. We really connected. We talked to people wenever talked to in high school. Danced withpeople we would not have danced with inhigh school.

The social strata had finally, somehow,dissipated.

Maybe the long wait made it sweeter.Maybe it’s because now (at last!) we’ve gotten over ourselves. We’re certainly amuch nicer bunch these days. School society could be brutal.

We didn’t have to be grand successes tofeel welcomed. We just had to come homefor a few days and show up at the sameplaces.

We “came as we are.” And oh, what ajoyful time it was!

It will be 25 years this fall since I firsttrudged with trepidation down the longsecond-floor hallway, past rows of lockersand the French and biology rooms to thecorner classroom serving as the U-Highspeech factory. Just before entering theclassroom, students would pass the office of the intimidating, goateed instructor, BobNeuleib. A freshman could find his way tothe room by following his nose (Neuleib’soffice billowed with pipe smoke in the early1980s) or by looking for visual clues (thetrophy case outside Neuleib’s office wasbulging with trophies and plaques recogniz-ing years of speech and debate champi-onships). Sure, there were other speechteachers, but if you wanted to learn tospeak persuasively enough to sell ice toEskimos, Mr. Neuleib’s speech class was for you.

At some point during freshman year, students were sure to notice the friendlyhistory teacher who seemed to be surround-ed by an escort service of upperclassmenwherever she went. And Peggy Scott wenteverywhere: sporting events, school dances,student senate proceedings, yearbook andnewspaper meetings, and class-night skitperformances. To be honest, I cannotremember much about what I learned inmy two semesters in Miss Scott’s U.S. his-tory class, but I definitely came away with astrong understanding of the importance

Miss Scott brought to U-High as a caringteacher with an ability to relate to highschoolers. This past fall I had the opportu-nity to meet with Miss Scott in her office at U-High. As evidence that things do notchange, an upperclassman stopped by torequest that Miss Scott write a letter of recommendation on her behalf during the brief time I was present.

All good things must come to an end,and Mr. Neuleib and Miss Scott bothretired from teaching this past school year.Please read the following articles about eachteacher and the positive impact they had onU-High over their careers. If you wouldlike to send a card wishing Bob and Peggywell in their retirements, please send it tothe address listed below and we will see thatit gets to them. Either teacher would loveto hear from you.

Alternatively, if you do not care to senda letter, the Alumni Association is collectingdonations toward dedicating StroudAuditorium chairs in memory of these twoteachers on behalf of their former students.We need a total of $500 per chair, but ifevery student positively impacted by one ofthese teachers makes a modest donation, wewill have enough to dedicate an entire sec-tion of seating in their honor. Please joinme so we can contribute to this worthwhilecause and pay tribute to two teachers whomade a difference.

From American literature to U.S. history,film to science-fiction, argumentation tosophomore writing, Bob Neuleib hastaught it all. Formerly theassociate director of theSchool of Communication at Illinois State University,Neuleib began his legacy atU-High in the fall of 1975,hired in part to help get thedebate team back on its feet.

This past February,Neuleib decided to retire fromhis position at U-High, leav-ing behind years of serviceand dedication to both thespeech and debate programsas well as the many academiccourses he taught over the years. He said he will miss working in such a unique environment.

“U-High is not your typical high school.It’s very enjoyable, and it’s small enough tobe able to know everybody. I will miss thepeople there the most,” Neuleib said.

But Neuleib was not just familiar to the people at U-High. On the state andnational levels, Neuleib was well known for the advancements he brought to high

school debate, including theaddition of congressionaldebate to the IHSA debatetournament.

“He knew the value ofacademic debate and wasable to keep the activity aliveand well during its variousmanifestations, ” DougJennings, associate directorof the School ofCommunication, said.“Debate has changed considerably during the past30 years, and Mr. Neuleib

always knew what the trends were and howto react to them for the positive value onthe students.”

Neuleib’s efforts did not go unnoticed.In 1995, peers from the National ForensicLeague selected Neuleib as the recipient ofthe Triple Diamond Award, a recognition

many speech and debate coaches onlydream of. The award, based on how well students have done at speech anddebate tournaments, has been given out to less than 500 coaches since the league’sformation in 1925.

Other awards Neuleib has receivedinclude K–12 Teacher of the Year andOutstanding Speech Teacher, both fromthe National Communication Association,and the Illinois Speech and TheatreAssociation Lifetime Achievement Award.

However, Neuleib was more concernedabout his students’ performance than theawards that covered the walls of his office.Often regarded as a strict teacher, Neuleibonly expected the very best from his students.

“He has the reputation of being an oldgrump, but those who know him bestknow that he’s exactly the opposite. Hecares deeply for others. He cares about how students think and perform so theycan make a contribution to society,”Jennings said.

Instructor Bob Neuleib retires

Since January 1974, University HighSchool has had the pleasure of having PeggyScott as a social science teacher. She consis-tently taught several different classes, andspent many years working with extracurric-ular activities such as senate and studentpublications. Scott spent a tremendousamount of time and energy helping students with great dedication. This year,however, marked her last, as she retired atthe end of the school year.

Scott has thoroughly enjoyed her teach-ing at U-High. Her many milestonesincluded teaching advanced placementclasses, working with senate, and helpingwith publications until 1985.

She is also filled with great memoriesabout her teaching career. “My favoritememories include the first time I saw themoving up of classes, and seeing hundredsof kids and the adults they had become.Another memory was how kind and gener-ous everyone was when I broke my leg in1984. The best part was all the friends Imade through the years,” Scott said.

Even though she will be leaving behindgreat memories, she has great plans for herretirement: taking it easy and relaxing,something she clearly deserves to do.

“I plan to just take it easyfor most of the first year, thentravel, spend time with mynephews and parents, and visitwith friends,” Scott said.

Still, there are things aboutU-High Scott will miss: “I’llmiss the people and the intel-lectual exercise. I’ll have tofind some alternative forms ofexercise!”

Jean Gorski, who alsoteaches social science classes,has worked with Scott sinceshe started teaching 14 yearsago. “Ms. Scott is the best social science teacher U-High has ever had. Herdedication to serving students well set astandard that not many teachers can live upto. She will be sorely missed,” Gorski said.

Mark Criley ’87 was on senate with Scottwhile attending U-High and could not

believe the dedication and time she put into all of her work. “I was amazed by theamount of energy, dedication, and carefulthought she put into extracurricular activi-

ties during the summer. Shehad such a terrific sense ofhumor and relates so com-fortably with students; shereally put people at ease evenwhile getting the very bestefforts out of them,” Crileysaid.

Mark Criley’s son, JamalSmith ’06, has had the privi-lege of taking a class withScott. “Ms. Scott is very intel-ligent and motivates you todo well. She has good meth-ods of teaching, and she is a

very fair teacher,” Smith said.Without a doubt, U-High will not be

the same without Scott.“Ms. Scott’s retirement is U-High’s

loss—it won’t be the same without her,”Criley added.
