A Golden Summer Eighty-seven lazy days, suntans, pool parties, challenges of various summer jobs, and great times hang- ing out with friends made summer exciting. Keeping busy was no pro- blem. Softball was popular. Friends got together to form teams for the Fox Hollow and City leagues. Winning isn't everything, said senior Pam Senter. We had fun and finished the year 1-2O. Defending National Softball Youth Champions, Schiltz Bulls, made up of over half Kickapoo alumni, represented the United States at the world tournament in Canada. The Bulls took second place in the world, and Japan was first. Camps were another important part of summer. Cabinet members attended a workshop in Fulton, MO, journalism students went to Arkadelphia, AK, cheerleaders head- ed to Tulsa, OK, while flag and pom pon girls went to Southwest Missouri State University. Students took part in many other workshops, ranging 12 f Summer Table Rock Lake is the place for beach bums, skiing, boating, sailing, swimming, and baking in the sun. These were all a part of summer fun. I hate this place! exclaims journalism student Lorre Jones, after being eaten alive by Arkansas mosquitos at camp in Arkadelphia. from computer and debate, to music and sports. Five students attended Boys' and Girls' State in Warrensburg and Fulton respectively. Greg Pontious, senior representative, said Boys' State is just like it sounds, 960 guys from every corner of the state meet to form their own working state government. I was elected minority floor leader of the House, so I learn- ed how our legislature works. While many were in training and learning at camps, one student put some of his speech training to good use. Senior Bob Macer placed 24th in the nation in dramatic interpreta- tion at the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Salt Lake Ci- ty, UT. Summer fun with friends and the glorious sunshine were part of the golden summer that slowly faded as another school year began. Penny Butler, senior, says, I like going to the Bran- son area because lenjoy hiking in the Ozarks.

How Day, How Night , Just having fun! Fall sports, Cabinet, pom pon girls, Bonnies, Howman tBrad Rozellb, and Greeter lRobby Danielj were introduced at the an- nual How Day assembly. Due to a problem, the assembly was held in the gym. What was it? lt's a large room with basketball goals and bleachers, but that's not important, as Howman would put it. Bebopping all night long to the KTTS sound system, chugging Mello-Yello, gorging pizza, and heav- ing through tug-o-war matches was how students spent their time at the 9th annual How Night. With 1,004 tickets sold, How Night proved to be the biggest and the best yet, ac- cording to Jean Netzer, spirit commissioner. I was elated, kind of shocked at how well it lHow Nighty went over, commented Jean. lt kind of foreshadowed from the very beginn- ing that we had true spirit. True spirit was exemplified by the representatives of the pizza eating contest QKipp Atwell, freshmang Barry Scott, sophomore, Evan Crowder, junior, Aaron Stull, seniorb. Each member of the winners' class, the freshmen, won a free pitcher of Coke at Godfather's. The freshman class also claimed the winning jello- eating teacher. Mr. John Wood, social studies teacher, won it hands down twith his hands actually tied behind his backlj. l think it fHow Nightj was well planned and all, said senior Kerry Middleton, but l would've liked to have seen Rotenberry be our king jello-eater! For the most part, How Day and How Night proved to continue the tradition of having good plain fun! Amy Horst, sophomore, watches the sack race com- petition. She is one of over 1,000 who attended How Night. 14 I How Day Seniors Melanie Johnson and Patti House chug-a-lug in the drinking contest, After eyes water and mouths gasp, Melanie winsl Tony Rouse, freshman, flies over a hurdle to win the obstacle course event.
