Cowboy hats dressed peo- ple's heads in an effort to keep up the tradition of overflowing spirit at KI-IS. All day long the Chief term fallow! was spoken in an effort to get acquainted with fellow classmates. To get the assembly roll- ing, Slim Whitman and his band factually it was Joe Greene and Kerry Scottj entertained the crowd against the backdrop of a miniature version of the Grand Ole Opry. Slim got a hearty round of applause when he belted out his mil- lion seller, MHave I Told You Lately That I Love You? A brand new Chief was added to the KHS faculty, Mr. Arnold Greve, princi- pal. Doug Green, student body president, presented him with a 6'Head Chiefw T-shirt making him a full- fledged Chief. Pom-pon girls adorned with punk rock glasses, glitter in hair, and bright red lipstick, were ready to perform to Pat Benatar's HHeartbreaker but were unable to do so because the sound system failed. Galt was an exciting first assembly which aroused both spirit and enthusiasm for the new year, said Doug. New principal, Mr. Arnold Greve, is pre- sented with a KHS T-shirt welcomm . . . g him to Kickapoo on How Day. H Dyfl

The first big social event of the year was a good time for playing games, having fun, and just Bein Together Spoon races, sack races, twistin', punking, and get- ting revenge at a teacher by throwing a sponge in his face were just a few of the ways students spent the seventh annual How Night. With 89-2 people attend- ing, it became one of the biggest social events of the year. cThe lap sit and spoon ,race were mainly organized for more group involvement and it suc- ceeded, according to cor- responding secretary Suzanne Foushee. The spoon race was a new game in which the different classes competed against each other to see who was fastest at getting a spoon tied onto a string up and down through every other person's shirt. The senior class once again proved they were really up- perclassmen by winning. Mr. Arnold Creve began the tradition in 1974 when he was a counselor. He said, H... there were more students and more elaborate games than beforef, Getting to know the up- perclassmen was one of the main reasons for the freshmen to participate in How Night. Freshman Katie Walsh summed it up by saying, 'glt was a great chance for everybody to get to know each other. T Coach Neil Pittman grimaces at the thought of getting another Hsmackl' in the face by a wild sponge thrower. How Night X 17
