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.

Weekends glitter with magic Friday had finally arrived, the end of another week and students, freshmen and seniors alike, began planning another weekend that had been so impatiently awaited. Weekends often gave students the chance to hang-out with friends. Senior Rick Carter said, I like weekends because it gives me a chance to see my friends out of school and have a good time doing anything we like. McDonalds seemed to have been the favorite hang-out in the past and once again the old reliable Macs came through for the Chiefs after games or simply when there was nothing else to do. Weekends are my favorite time of the week. To me they mean good times with my friends and social events like games or just hanging around at McDonalds, said senior Kym Burlison. Other times shared with friends in- cluded parties at Twin Bridges, Old Monterey Club House, and annual bonfires. Parties were always a good way to start new friendships. Caught by surprise, seniors Carol Fuchs and Julian Bailey buy popcorn at the concession stand of a local theater while waiting for the movie. Juniors Brent Wilkinson, Joey Edwards, Evan Crowder, Scott Steck, and Mike Ellis gather on McDonalds parking lot to discuss their weekend. 16 f Weekends As always, movies were an en- joyable way to occupy spare time. Local theaters offered a wide selec- tion of favorite movies such as Raiders of the Lost Ark, Arthur, and Endless Love. When worse came to worse, and there was nothing else going on, students kept their spirits up by cruisin' Battlefield and gettin' rowdy. Sophomore Pam Payne said, Weekends are a time to get together and get crazy and forget the pressures of school. Romance lingered in the air as the year sparked new flames and fed the fire of old ones. Students enjoyed dating around and getting to know different people. Others preferred dating one certain person. Whether weekends were spent with one person or a group of friends, they were always special. Regardless of the activity, weekends were just as much a part of KHS as they were a part of the week. Seniors Lori Carter and Marty Hurst discover that be- ing alone to talk is a relaxing way for a couple to spend a few quiet moments alone together.
