Between late night work and sleep, English IV essays were completed. My senior year was spent adding the classes that would make my college preparations complete and my grade point average the best, senior Dianne Newton said. Students spent many hours working with clubs and participating in extracurricular activities along with sharing many hours with friends. All was done to MAKE THEIR MARK on every activity or class they chose to conquer. Whether physical or brain power was used, each student set his own goal for the top, and though they met stumbling blocks down the road, they accomplished much. I know the problems I conquered this year will make me a person ready to take on the after-high-school life, senior Nadia Mahmud said. Grades were kept at their highest throughout the year though the fundamen- tals were changed to challenge the exceptional student with college-bound material. With all of the juggling that students were asked to do, they made it evident they had it in the bag. 1-l 8 4 ACADEMICS

According to junior Jeff Bernet, who saw varsity action during his freshman season, This is the best team I have seen here at KHS. We earned everything we got, and I only wish for Coach Neil Pittman that we would have won it all. He deserves a lot of the credit. For being such a young team, the Chiefs did exceptionally, according to tote runner-up Coach Pittman. The team was made up of seniors and sophomores with only two juniors. Going to the state tournament was a good opportunity for us underclassmen. I hope we can go back next year, junior Scott Samsel said. junior Todd Linton commented about the final four. It was a tremendous experience that I'll never forget. It was a once in a lifetime chance for the seniors. The baseball Chiefs definitely put a mark on Kickapoo's history and set a new trend for the baseball seasons ahead. Personally, I would like to thank Coach Pittman and the '85 graduates for their leadership which enabled us to go to the state tourney, senior Todd Burgess said.
