There Were Chan es Kickapoo has been through many changes in the last ten years, but this year had more administrative changes than any other year. This year brought on the introduc- tion of a new principal, Mr. Arnold Creve, who felt that uthe student body is very active and caring, they also strive to work together on everything they do. A lot of things have changed, for instance, the school is a lot larger than it was ten years ago and it's overcrowded, but we have all learned to live with that. I really enjoy working with the students and administration here at Kickapoo, and they have helped me more than they know. Another change was in the ad- ministrative assistants. The A-K assistant is Mrs. Sandra Grays, and the L-Z assistant is Mr. Lonnie Scott. Mrs. Gray felt that the new system of A-K and L-Z is, to me, a better system. With this new system I have the chance to meet the boys as well as the girls, whereas with the old system I would have only been able to meet the girls. This also gives the students the chance to either go to Mr. Scott or me, whichever they feel the most comfortable with. It also gives Mr. Scott and me the chance to send a student to one or the other if we feel we can't handle that particular student. Still another change was in the music department. The new music teacher, Mrs. Connie Bilyeu, took on the many responsibilities of helping Mr. Earnest Pratt and Mrs. Jan Johnson with all the extensive work involved in presenting the school musical, uCarousel. ' Mrs. Bilyeu commented, '6This school has many talented students, it has to have or we wouldnit have been able to put on such a production for the musical is complicated, and it takes talented people to create and bring it to life. We did something new. There was a matinee November 18 during fifth and sixth hours. In the past, parents and students had not been able to see the performances because there were not enough seats in the auditorium. After ten years of hard work and advancement, Kickapoo showed that it was well worth the effort. In drama I have the opportunity to express myself, whereas with other classes I just sit and listen, said Jennifer Adams. Art III students Vince Cox, Troy Richardson, Scott Stone use the trees in the courtyard as models for their class assignments. N'-xi 176 f Closing

HHaving 32 people on the yearbook staff made a big difference compared to the 12 working on the Legend last year. We all worked together. Members of the staff were responsi- ble for their own work, and because of their dedica- tion, we met all of our deadlines or. time, explained Editor-in-Chief, Sandi Stahl. During one week in July, nine of our devoted staff members went to Arkadelphia, Arkansas and learned new ways to 1 improve the Legend. 'fln Arkadelphia all of us on the yearbook staff got to be very close friends and I think thatis important. We worked hard and came out with something we were proud of, expressed Index Editor, Kim Stahl. We would like to thank Mr. Boyd, Mrs. Kinser, Mr. Harral, and Mrs. Mid- dleton for proofreading copy, Mrs. Gilpin for con- tributing a poem, 1980 Sage contributions, Jacque Rogers and Dave Jackway for art work, and our dedi- cated photographers for putting up with us while trying to meet our dead- lines, and last, but cer- tainly not least, Mrs. Han- sen for her help and patience. Working with determination, Michelle Jones is trying to get her band pages together for an upcoming deadline. As a third year J-student, Sandi Stahl quietly, efficiently, and with her usual happy personality put together a fantas- tic book as 81 Legend Editor-in-Chieff said Mrs. Hansen.
