Going wherever you are needed. 9 With the departure of summer, school began and thoughts were soon focused on every phase of school life. From the very first day, much activity was evident in the halls of KCHS. Perhaps the highlight of the first day's convocation was the opportunity to meet Mr. Rose, the new high school principal. Much chatter echoed throughout the spic and span school area as upperclassmen talked casually while frightened freshmen searched for classrooms. Amarilys Chacon, our Guatemalan AFS foreign exchange student, was introduced to school life in Kimball County High. The autumn months brought cooler weather, much more homework, and the familiar sound of GO BIG RED each Friday. A yearbook workshop, individual class picture taking day, Mr. Fred Agabashinn's convocation on Highway Safety Is No Accident, were events which led to the climax of fall activities-HOMECOMING. Very little more could have been crowded into the busy opening days of the school year-enthusiastic students were off to new adventures in learning, striving, belonging, competing, and living. WHAT TO take home is a question Mar Stahla asks herself as she gazes into her locker and anticipates the year's events. Summer Departs—School Begins CHEERLEADERS MAR Stahla, Julie Juelfs, and Dar Stahla CAROL BOWMAN takes advantage of some very rare free reveal a pensive mood concerning the rally skit they are watching time to complete some deadlines on homework. 10 ONE OF the more common sights of the year was one such as this. Kids gather in groups to discuss some of the good times they have as well as many of the problems that seem to confront their busy and complicated lives. Homecoming Week Brings A Victory HOMECOMING ROYALTY attendants Ken Collier and Mar Stahla receive gifts. A VERY happy Queen Dar and a wistful King Rich are presented at the Homecoming dance THERESA AND Cal seemed pleased to have been introduced as attendants to the royal court. PAT KINNISON and Gene Dowd watch as the royal court is announced during the dance. They find it an awe-inspiring moment. EVERYONE SEEMED to be doing their own thing at the Homecoming dance following the Victory American Style game. Bright flames from a blazing bonfire, shouts from the enthusiastic rally crowd, and hopes mounting for a victory were some of the motions which preceded Homecoming. The big day finally arrived and tension mounted as game time drew near. Finally, the fighting Longhorns burst on to the field, fired up and ready to play. They gored the Mitchell Tigers 39-0. Many attended the Homecoming dance where they had the opportunity to congratulate Dar Stahla and Rich Perry, who had been crowned Homecoming queen and king during half-time ceremonies. Attendants were Ken Collier, Mar Stahla, Cal Bartels, and Theresa Volkmer. The theme, VICTORY, AMERICAN STYLE, was carried out with red, white and blue streamers and stars decorating the student center. It seemed that all too soon HOMECOMING '71 was a memory. 11 School Days Seem Unbelievably Short SPECIAL HAT day was one of the ideas used by the pep club to promote enthusiasm toward Homecoming festivities. A GROUP of football boys were called upon to make comments about an up-coming game during a Friday rally. As the hectic weeks of September passed almost too quickly, October, November, and December were here and School life found noses to the grindstone, but not without breaks for fun. Fashions for the girls centered around the hot pants trend, and very few gave up wearing them when the snow began to fall. A whirlwind of activities began taking place. Girls' competitive volleyball was scheduled for the fall season, and KCHS's team participated. After much vigorous practice, the band traveled to CSU to participate in band day. The varsity choir held a two-day choral clinic, hosting Alliance andSidney students. A yearbook workshop was conducted. Field trips were taken by the advanced biology and office practice classes. Eleven students traveled to Lincoln to participate in All-State choir and band. Concerts by the band and the various choirs were presented before first semester ended and students were planning to do the musical a month earlier. Seniors began thinking of college as they took various entrance exams and began the tedious chore of filling out admission blanks. The Prom was foremost in the minds of juniors as they canvassed the town selling magazine subscriptions and formed a concession club to sell goodies at football and basketball games. Senior editors of publication staffs traveled to Lincoln for the state high school press convention. Here they accepted the 1971 Class B award for the best yearbook in the state. The FAA Attended the national convention in Kansas City. With the close of football, volleyball, and cross-country season, letters and certificates were presented to athletes at the fall honor's convocation. Rich Perry, Gary Klipp, and Loel Hayden received All-conference for their football efforts, and honorable mention was given to Ed Avila, Cal Bartels, and Leo O'Hare. Basketballand wrestling season beganin December, and the wrestlers and roundballerseach brought home a victory in first competition. Mr. Hall became head basketball coach assisted by Mr. Marchant. Mr. Strasheim's wrestlers began losing or gaining weight, as the scales demanded. Students were beginning to count the days until Christmas vacation. Guys and Dolls was announced by Mr. Reichert as this year's musical and alumni home for the holidays participated in the Christmas concert's final number. Decorations and parties alerted the students to the approaching holiday vacation, and by the time it had arrived many students had enjoyed their share of punch and cookies. A newly organized semester test schedule greeted students after vacation, and musical rehearsals were sandwiched between basketball and wrestling meets. School life was back to normal. 12 COACH CLAY watches while a player demonstrates for him during an after-school football practice session.

Musicians prepared for the Tri-City Choral Clinic which Kimball hosted. The concert band presented their eighth annual Marianna Jennings Concert, and six music students were selected to participate in the Hastings Honor Choir and Band. Rehearsals began for the musical GUYS AND DOLLS, which was to be given a month earlier than in past years due to the numer-our breaks in school routine during March. Bandsmen traveled to Scottsbluff for the Tri-City Band Clinic. Some high school fellows participated in the Golden Gloves Boxing Tournament in Scottsbluff. The varsity basketball team made it to the semi-finals which added an extra shot of spirit for sports fans. Three senior wrestlers qualified for state competition. The sophomores presented their big event of the year, TWIRP, which carried out a Lost in Space theme. A group of ambitious students worked after-school hours preparing for the District Speech Contest. They won the Class A championship. Academics had not been forgotten for Tom Eastman was announced as winner of Regent's Scholarship and John Castleberry was named alternate. Theresa Volkmer had been notified she had won a S400 Union Pacific Scholarship. Parent-Teacher Conferences and Teacher's Convention allowed students several more breaks—and suddenly it was spring!

Early in the school year the sophomore class began having meetings to plan for their annual TWIRP dance. “Lost in Space featured a predominantly black decor to carry out the theme. Many hours of work were evident as guests viewed the decoration; the center of attraction being a huge robot, whose eyes lighted up. A variety of costumes were worn by the students, as they did not have to be dressed in keeping with the theme. Students danced to the way-out rhythms of Oedipus, a group from Lincoln, Nebraska. Amarilys Chacon, our AFS student from Guatemala, was crowned queen of the event. Her king was Kei. Collier. Theresa Volkmer and Ed Avila were first attendants and Mar Stahla and Cal Bartels were second attendants. Punch and cookies were served during the entire evening. Class sponsors for the sophomores were Mr. Hall and Mr. Meyer 15 Spring Brings Thoughts Of Prom, Contest BOB CONRAD is seen interviewing a senior for KIMB's special DIGGING INTO pie during the FHA's pie-eating contest are program for graduates called Senior Yearbook. three gentlemen for the KCHS faculty.

Cold, windy, wet weather would seem to hamper the track team and the golfers, but each night they faced the elements and practiced for up-coming competition. National Honor Society initiated fifteen students into their organization at a night ceremony. Six seniors and nine juniors took their oaths. The Theme was Now Is The Time. Every season of the year seems a busy time for musicians, and spring was certainly no exception. Many hours were spent preparing for the district music contests, and the vocal and instrumental departments each presented spring concerts. Students brought home many honors for their departments. The Future Farmers of America attended their state convention and returned with top honors as a chapter as well as many individual and group awards. A huge livestock exposition, which attracted schools from three states, was held the first weekend in May. An elegant atmosphere prevailed during the banquet and PROM. The Gymnasium was transformed into Fantasy of the Deep Blue. As theyear drew to a close, students began campaigning for offices they hoped to hold next year. On the last day of their school year, seniors practiced for their baccalaureate and commencement exercises. Thursday, May 25, eighty-eight seniors received their diplomas as underclassmen were thinking of vacation fun and summer jobs. Another school year had passed. SPRING BROUGHT enough snow for three fellows to build a snowman. FRESHMEN GIRLS practiced after school for cheerleading tryouts. COACH HAUN checks off his track squad before they leave in the new bus for a meet. 17 Beautiful girls dressed in formal gowns of every color in the rainbow, and neatly groomed fellows wearing dinner jackets of many styles and hues, entered the portals of the deep and spent a delightful evening in Fantasy of the Deep Blue, which was the PROM theme for 1972. A sunken ship, a pink octopus with lighted red eyes, and a whale were among the unique decorations used in the theme. As the clock struck ten, the big moment of the evening arrived. Theresa Volkmer and Cal Bartels were announcedPROM Kingand Queen. They were attended by Rich Perry, Debbie Maas, Becky Mathews, and Chris Moffitt. The crown bearers were Jennifer and Jeannie Pietsch. All had been selected by the junior class. The Tommy James Trio provided music for the dancers, and punch and cookies were served by waiters and waitresses attired in nautical dress. Prior to the PROM, the juniors hosted a banquet for seniors and guests. Mr. Reichert sang several vocal solos, and the sophomore madrigal entertained. Mr. Rose, principal, addressed the group. The junior class, their sponsors and class parents, had provided an evening which would not soon be forgotten by seniors and guests. UNAWARE THAT she would later be Queen of the PROM, Theresa Volkmer and her escourt listen to the music. “Fantasy Of The Deep Blue” Brings 1972 PROM ROYALTY: Rich Perry and Debbie Maas, left; Cal Bartels and Theresa Volkmer, center.

Top Quality Education For Each Student Members of the board of education include Mr. Ira Blakeslee, Mr. Vic Ebel, Mrs. Alice McMichael, Mr. Wayne Robbins, and Mr. Aldon Sobiezczk. The voters of Kimball County elect their board of education, and the board's responsibility is to manage the school so that each student receives the best in educational experiences. Keeping abreast of the many trends and changes in education is a challenging assignment for Mr. Max Hensley, superintendent. He spends much time overseeing the progress of the school year. Active in Rotary, he is also an enthusiastic sportsman. Principal, Mr. Jerrold Rose, completed his first year on the administration staff. His energy and efficiency has kept life in KCHS moving at an accelerated pace. Mr. Charles Morehouse, guidance counselor, administers all tests, counsels students, and keeps juniors and seniors informed concerning their future education following graduation. Service as president of the local Lions Club and as president of Nebraska Psychologists keeps him involved in civic and professional affairs. MR.

And when anyone wasn't feeling well, Mrs. Eastman was ready to care for her patients. Mrs. Vencill and her cafeteria staff greeted students each noon with nourishing, tasty lunches. And no matter what time of day or night, Mr. Darrell Frank, Mrs. Laurabell Wilson, or Mr. Auturo Miranda were available to come to anyone's aid while they busily kept our school in excellent appearance. These people deserve a lot of credit for helping to keep KCHS operating smoothly.

The instructional part of the program was done by Mr. Morehouse. Students were taught the importance of attitude toward work as well as the various career opportunities available to them. An important part of the work-study program was the visitation made to each student's place of employment by Mr. Rose. Thus the student had an opportunity to demonstrate his employment responsibilities. MR.

Art students combined imagination and skill to aid them in their study of sculpture, facial and cartoon drawings, oil painting, and wood carving. Art I students focused their attention on perspective and composition, while Art II students concentrated on individual projects. Physical education classes developed skill and strength as well as better attitudes as they participated in various activities.

Preparation for future business experiences is the main function of the business department. The bookkeeping classes, taught by Mr. Hall, learned the fundamentals of keeping business records and worked on practice sets. Business law students studied the foundations and doctrines of the business world. Observing changes of self-chosen investments in the stock market aided students in economics to better understand this phase of work. MissGolson's typing classes learned to type with speed and accuracy. Shorthand students practiced reading notes as well as applying their skill in taking dictation. A complete study of business machines as well as learning to manipulate them, and learning the techniques of general office work, kept the office practice students engaged in various activities to be found in the world of business.

Kimball County High School's vocational department becomes more popular each year. Auto mechanics was offered three hours a day. These students studied small enginesand gradually worked up to the engines found in automobiles. Wood working projects were popular in shop classes. Classes were organized so that students acted as foremen and helpers who wandered throughout the shop checking efficiency of workers. Vocational agriculture classes learned the techniques necessary for efficient farm management including welding. Machine shop students studied many types of specialized machines, learning to make some machine parts. They also learned to construct other mechanical devices. Some students participated in the work-study program to increase their efficiency. MR. BARP teaches shop and occupational skills and MR.

French, Speech, Driver Ed Are Valuable Electives French classes studied not only the grammatical aspects of the language, but also the customs and traditions of France during their classes. French I dealt mainly with learning the basics of the French language. French II students expanded their knowledge with skits, themes, and contests, which were used to expose some of the ways of life in France. Classes played Monopoly and Scrabble in French as an aid in perfecting their knowledge. Driver education classes studied good driving principles and reactions in emergencies. They also learned some of the various functions of the important parts of a car. With the new Interstate open, they received experience in driving on this new highway. Speech students learned the skill involved in giving speeches, debates, and one-act plays. The class presented two one-act plays to some of the student body.

FRENCH I STUDENTS listen as Mr Ortiz reads from a book of comedies. 36 Homemakers Learn Through Actual Practice LATE MODEL sewing machines are an asset to the girls who are involved in getting their sewing units completed. Three divisions of Homemaking classes became involved in the many details they found to be important in becoming good housewives and mothers. Since much of a homemaker's time is spent in cooking, the students spent some time in preparing recipes from cornbread to Christmas candies. They also planned nutritious meals, and found out that groceries do cost money, so budgeting became involved as a part of their training. Infant and child care was studied so the girls would have a knowledge of the many responsibilities involved in rearing children. Sewing is an important aspect of homemaking. Students had the opportunity to learn basic sewing techniques, and the advanced classes sewed complicated patterns and were taught how to alter these patterns to their individual tastes. Girls are given an opportunity to model their garments during a spring style show. A favorite unit for the senior girls is one in which they plan their weddings. This knowledge will be most important at that very special time in their lives. MRS. SANDY SEEMS teaches Homemaking 1, 2. and 3 and sponsors the Future Homemakers club. TESTS COMPLETED, Homemaking I class hurriedly checks their papers to be sure they have not forgotten to answer a question before giving them to Mrs. Seems. DEB MOEHR and Theresa Epperson work diligently at their sewing projects to complete them in the alloted time.

English classes extended their knowledge in such areas as composition, literature, and grammar. Freshmen classes worked with literature, grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and forms of writing. Sophomore classes focused their work on grammary and vocabulary study, as well as an intense study of composition, including writing original stories. Juniors studied areas of American literature, analyzing themes and studying structure of various works read. Advanced composition challenged studentsto improve in writing. College preparatory composition and English literature were the predominate areas of study for students taking senior English. JAMES NOVOTNY diligently ran the mimeograph to assure the paper would come out on time. 39 Math Students Gain Much Knowledge Three instructors handled the math department in KCHS this past year. Freshmen courses included general math and Algebra I. Mr. Clay instructed general math and Mr. Marchant taught those who selected to take Algebra 9. Mr. Haun handled the geometry classes for sophomores and Mr. Clay instructed General Math 2 classes. Junior math students could take Advanced Algebra from Mr. Haun as an elective math course. Mr. Haun also taught the senior elective match course, Math IV. Students who felt they needed the math background for college took this course. Early in the second semester any student in KCHS, even though he may not have been enrolled in a math class, was eligible to take a National Mathematics test under the supervision of Mr. Haun. During Honors Convocation the student who ranked the highest in this competition received recognition. This year Miss Theresa Volkmer was announced as winner of the math competition, and she was presented a medal from Mr. Haun for her achievement. MR. CLAY used a variety of methods to make math interesting Here general math students work on a written assignment. AMONG THE many honors received by Theresa Volkmer during her EXPLAINING THE intricate solution to an Algebra 9 problem is senior year, was the math award presented by Mr. Haun. done via the use of the board in Mr. Merchant's class. 40 Which Will Be Needed For The Future SOME OF the senior math students look over their national test scores with their instructor, Mr. Haun. )RBED IN deep concentration, senior math students concentrate on a test jy Mr. Haun. MR. BOB CLAY General Math I and II 41 Social Studies Teaches World Living Social studies students became involved in learning about many factsconcerning world problems, psychology, history, of the world, world geography and American problems during the course of their year's study. Past history revealed to them why there are complexities in the world today, and why they will continue in the future. Map study became a pertinent part of the curriculum of world geography students taught by Mr. Calise. Students made topographical maps as class projects. Mrs. Youngman taught world history to sophomores and American history to juniors and Mr. Glassey taught American history and American problems. Time magazine was used by the American problems classes to keep them alert to the current problems facing the world. Many of the great historical moments of the world were viewed via film.

A glassblowing class was offered this year on a semester basis. Although probably considered an art, glassblowing, in a sense, is an exact science. Second year science students took courses in advanced biology or physiology and studied the fetal pig anatomy, the human skeleton, the nervous system, and other physiological structures and functions. A biology and chemistry background was needed for advanced courses. Regular biology students studied many of the same topics in a more limited area. Besides the study of chemical reactions, chemistry students gained experience in photography. Earth science and general science were courses offered to freshmen. Physics students exercised their math ability as they learned about machines, electricity, and the rela- MR.

Announcing the happenings of KCHS became daily routine to the 1971-72 Air Notes staff. Presenting news of sports and school activities at five minutes to four might not have seemed important to many, but to the dedicated staff, it was all that mattered each afternoon about air time. Although taped programs were used on days when hectic activity schedules interfered, most days you would hear these familiar words Live and Direct from Kimball High School. John Castleberry, David Balten-sperger, Sue Vencill, and Lynn Andersen were regular newscasters. Alternates Cindy Gerner, Rich Crow and Peggy Thummel were always near by in case a regular reporter was absent. DAVE BALTENSPERGER prepares to go on the air as he waits his phone cue.

Conducting a day-long Tri-state workshop for yearbook staff members and advisersearly in September set the pace for the 1972 LONGHORN staff. This experience allowed new staff members to become better acquainted with yearbook technique and editors were exposed to new and exciting procedures. Mr. Wayne Ackermann of Newsfoto presented the program to over one hundred students. During the Nebraska High School Press Convention the 1971 LONGHORN received the top Class B award in the state, so for the second time in a three-year period the traveling trophy was brought to KCHS.

BRIDGMEN and Mrs. Youngs man advise the pep club. And Members Create Top Pep Club BIG RED cheerleaders lead an arousing pep club in a cheer that is sure to aid in a victory for the fighting Longhorns. TREMENDOUS was simply the most appropriate word one could use to describe the spirit projected by the pep club as they cheered the Longhorns on to victory in their athletic events this year. The student center was decorated weekly, and name tags were distributed to players and coaches. At most of the rallies groups presented skits, and of course, there was always the rivalry among classes to see who would win the spirit jug. Buses were provided to transport all pep club members and cheer leaders to out-of town games. To raise money for the promotion of Homecoming activities, the club held a bake sale. Almost all of the Homecoming activities were planned and carried out by upperclassmen members, and the freshmen cleaned up the after -Homecoming mess. Mrs. Bridgman and Mrs. Youngman sponsored the group. MORNING RALLIES were popular on game days and the pep club and cheerleaders form a chain to spread pep everywhere. FOUR. THREE, two, one-the game is over, the victory belongs to the Longhorns, and the pep club scrambles to the floor to congratulate the team once more. 57 K-Club And Girls9 Track KCHS lettermen comprise the K-Club.

BUDDY ROBBINS, K-Club President, and some of the members take part in balloting for an award to be given. Girl's track was a popular sport this spring season. Not all girls who began track stayed with it. The District Meet at Alliance was the high-point of the season. Jean Watson, Theresa Volkmer and Arlene Volkmer qualified for state and Jean Watson won third in high jump at state. Girl's track is becoming more popular in our section of Nebraska and prospects for a good season next spring are evident. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT and Jean Watson's practice paid off as she qualified for State and brought home third place in high jumping. 58 Athletic Ability Extended In GAA Holding regular business meetings and participating in sport's activities alternating Wednesday afternoons comprised the major part of the Girls' Athletic Association program for the year.

Early in the year government classes participated in County Government Day, sponsored by the American Legion and Auxiliary. In late spring two juniors are chosen to attend Girl and Boy State, where they become involved with local, state, and some national government processes. Paul Cammack and Susan Bourlier will be participating in this experience in June. For many years KCHS has had an AFS exchange student among its midst, but not since 1963 had one of our students been accepted abroad. This year it was announced that Karen Baird's application had been accepted, and this summer she will be traveling to Austria to participate in the summer AFS program. Karen will have the opportunity to learn much about the Austrian's way of living, and how a government on the mainland of Europe functions. To Paul and Susan, who will rperesent us and who will learn more about NEBRASKA NUMBER 1 government, and to Karen, who will be an excellent representative from Kimball, Nebraska; we hope you will bring much information back to us concerning your involvement in these opportunities.

In a very short time Amarilys's personality and friendly smile had won her many friends, and she became actively engaged in pep club, student council, and as an office assistant first semester. It has been a great experience and a lot of fun, was her comment when asked to describe her year in Kimball and KCHS.

The musical took place in the 1930's and centered around the New York gambling scene. The choice between keeping a doll or continuing to gamble was faced by all the crap-shootersand especially by Sky Master-son and Nathan Detroit. Sarah Brown led a reform movement and was assisted by a Mission Band. Miss Adelaide put herself in a hilarious position as she tried to catch herself a guy. Hot Box girls performing in a night club frequented by the crap-shooters, and an excursion to Cuba which involved a nightclub brawl, added much action to the show. Authentic costumes, a pit band, intricate lightingand realistic scenery complimented the musical. RUSTY (Henry Stahla) listens to Benny (Wes Lamberson) discuss the winning horses while Nicely, Nicely (Leonard Epperson) walks away in disgust. NATHAN (Leo O'Hare) pleads with Miss Adelaide (Patty O'Nele) for a chance to mend their broken engagement. SARAH (Glenda Haines) sings of her love for Sky (Tom Eastman), an ardent crapshooter, who finds the mission worker enticing. 72 (WES LAMBERSON) Benny knocks down boxer John Sandridge as (Henry Stahla) Rusty and (Leonard Epperson) Nicely Nicely converge to chat. MR. REICHERT and Patty Moss seem to be directing their attention to a member of the Pit Band, who is tuning up before another rehearsal begins.

An exchange visit with Cherry Creek High School of Dewver, Colorado proved a most interesting and profitable experience for the council. Assisting with College and Career Nights, decorating the Christmas tree for the Student Center, and sponsoring convocations were among the itinerary of services promoted by the Council. Other worthwhile projects promoted by the group were the addition of more trees to the nursery project, painting the waste paper receptacles,and working on the large map which will show the homes of our AFS students as well as where our local students have lived on Rotary and AFS trips. May 24 the Student Council gathered at the Holiday Restaurant for their annual breakfast. Here the year's work was reviewed, and awards were presented. MR.

GORDON: The Broncos broke Big Red's five game winning streak by handing them a hard-fought 12-6 defeat. Scoring early, taking advantage of Kimball errors, and playing tough defense, the Bronco team held off several Kimball threats. BIG RED defense zeroes in on a Gordon ball carrier but failed to continue their five game winning streak. Gordon won 12-6. 84 CHADRON: Playing on a cold and snowy night on the Cardinal field, Big Red lost their second game of the season, 13-6. After being on the defensive most of the first half, Kimball made a serious threat before bowing in defeat as the second half closed in on them. SIDNEY:The Longhorns traveled to Disney and defeated the Red Raiders 21-19 for the first time since 1965. Ball control and excellent defense accounted for the Longhorn's effort to spoil Sidney's homecoming and defeat the reigning Conference champs.

Not being able to muster up an offense or defense was the cause of the defeat. BRIDGEPORT: A brilliant all-around game handed the Bulldogs their first defeat of the season 12-0.

One hundred fourteen points scored by Coach Charles Bunner's freshmen football team is an indication that some of his players will be pushing hard for starting varsity positions in the future Longhorn rosters. Their 3-3 record showed Ron Batterton as setting a new freshman scoring record for Kimball with 14 touchdowns and two PAT's totaling 88 points. Ron Batterton and Marty Lantzer each claimed 7 pass receptions, while QB Chuck Christensen was the leading passer hitting 16 of 29 attempts.

Under the leadership of George Haun, who has been coaching this sport in our school for seven years, the team completed a highly successful season. Haun's Harriers were led by returning lettermenTom Bartels, JamesBuckles, Lloyd Howard, Terry Howard, Keith Longmore, Chris Moffitt, Buddy Robbins, and Jack Robinson. These eight runners, and a large number of varsity and novice competitors, finished second at District. This qualified the Harriers for the state meet in Omaha, where they placed ninth in Class B. Several team members worked out in the 500 Mile Club this past summer. The idea of the club is to havedistant runners train during their summer vacation. In order to become a member of the club, boys must run 500 miles during this time. Bob Nagel was first to complete his distance followed by Buddy Robbins, Lloyd Howard and Ron Howard. The 500 shirt was then theirs to wear in recognition of their effort COACH HAUN looks concerned as he checks records of his runners at a meet BANG!

The Longhorns split their next two games winning over Ogallala again and losing to Sidney before going on to capture four successive wins over Bridgeport, Bayard, Gordon and Valentine.

What an exciting way to begin a school year—ah yes! But even though the class hated to admit it, there was a nostalgic tone to the entire school year-knowing those memorable high school days were almost over. August found the class welcoming AFS exchange student. Miss AmarilysChacon, to the fold. Yearbook and newspaper responsibilities were assumed by seniors, Homecoming seemed so much more important, and our pride swelled as senior varsity sportsmen dominated in their special fields. College and Career Nights reminded each senior that the pursuit for a higher education or entry into the world of work would soon be his destination. Time was spent taking college entrance exams, making applications for entry into college, or working extra hard at on-the-job work-study assignments; realizing experience would be most beneficial in securing full-time employment. Juniors will long be remembered for the beautiful PROM they gave in our honor.

Perched on the ladder, a worker hangs streamers. As Construction Of Prom Plans Develop Financing the PROM was the biggest undertaking the junior class faced when they returned to school in the fall. Many class meetings were held to decide how money would be raised. It was decided to hold a magazine sale which was a success. With the athletic season in full swing, the concession's committee worked at all football and basketball games, and their profits were added to the fund. Early spring found juniors using up some of their extra energy conducting a car wash which netted more money. Committees worked on planning the PROM the entire year, and when April 29 rolled around the results of their efforts were displayed in Fantasy of the Blue, the theme for their PROM.

Frosh Student Council Members Represent Class REPRESENTING THE freshmen class, student council members Susan Brown. Tina Hickman and Sharon Bowman aided student government. Freshmen entered the halls of KCHS confused and lost, but were soon to find they fit right into place with the rest of the student body. To them it was a new and exciting phase of school life. They were given an opportunity to become part of the high school by joining new activities and organizations. The frosh, as they were often called, had some excellent material to contribute to the sports department, and they left an impressive record for these talents. They were also active in the vocal and instrumental areas of music. Their academic achievement was tested in early fall, when they experienced two days of ITED testing. When May rolled around they wondered where their freshmen year had gone, and were looking forward to becoming sophomores.

In this book we have tried to present KCHS as it was to each individual. There is a certain amount of satisfaction that goes with editing a yearbook, but we realize that without the help of certain individuals the task could not have been accomplished. We would like to thank Mrs. Morehouse, Mr. Rose, the school board and administration and especially our faithful staff. We express a very special thank you to Harper High, who joined our photo staff late in the year, but who remained with us after school was out to aid us in meeting our final deadline. This experience has taught us much, and we feel just a little sad that the year is over. We wish next year's staff the best of luck as they edit another yearbook, better known as LONGHORN. 144
