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.

Fans Generate Spirit Fans are 50 percent of the game, commented senior foot- baller, Craig Setzer. Fans are an in- spiration to all athletes, for instance, the Glendale game. Although we lost, the fans stuck with us throughout the whole game. Student Council passed out red and blue yarn Oct. 29 to help the stu- dent body generate spirit for the im- portant game of the year, Glendale. We had to show the team we loved them and knew we could win the game, said student council member, Pam Senter. Spirit overflowed the visiting side of Lowe Stadium. Students, parents, and faculty formed a human tunnel from the entrance to the goal posts for the team to run through. Chants such as, We are Kickapoo and We're number one along with confetti and brown and gold shakers filled the air. Tears filled the eyes of football players and the fans as the final score cost the Chiefs a defeat and a trip to the state playoffs. Leading the traditional prayer cir- cle, senior footballer Chris Bernet thanked God for bringing them this 18jFans Loyal football fans showed pride in the team by filling three student buses to Joplin Parkwood Sept. 25.

He concluded by saying, We did the best we could. Now would you please just help us go on. The Chiefs did go on and won their final game against Central. When it comes to basketball the fans could not have been better. Cheerleader and spirit commis- sioner, Jean Netzer said, Fan spirit seemed unusually great this year. It helped the cheerleaders so much to see a crowd full of people who really cared enough to chant in an organ- ized manner. Senior baseballer, Chris Carter summed up the importance of fans by saying, Just ask anyone who competes for anything and they'll tell you that whenever there are peo- ple there watching you, it really makes you bear down and try harder. lt's essential in any game to have the fans behind you all the way and know their cheering you on. These students watch intently at the basketball assembly. They are checking out the players, trying to predict what kind of season is in store.
