While some of us worked on tans, others of us escaped the routine lifestyle of Liberty and traveled to far away places. Several LHS students journeyed to Colorado on the annual Biology trip, where they studied plant life and nature. Others went to Minnesota to Young Life's Castaway Camp along with other club members from the metro area. Some students even left the country, Spanish students journeyed to Mexico for the annual Spanish trip. David Bowman, '81, and Shawn Tompkins, '82, went to foreign countries on mission trips. David traveled to Haiti and Shawn went to Africa. Many aspiring LHS athletes attended football and basketball camps held here this summer and at certain colleges and universities. The cheerleaders and pom- pon girls both attended camps this year. Both squads received top honors at their camps. The pom-pon squad did exceptionally well and brought home two trophies to prove their excellence. As the length of the summer days increased, so did the heat, soaring well into the 1005 for seventeen consecutive days at one point. At the height of sum- mer, the heat was so bad that the Red Cross came to the rescue once again, supplying air conditioned relief stations for people without air conditioners. Some of us beat the heat by going to the swim- ming pool, where others beat the llhigh cost of liv- ing by working there. There was a wide variety of jobs that LHS students performed this summer. From being trashmen to fashion models, construction work- ers to swimming instructors, and even rock band members to radio announcers. What did these people do with all the money they made? Well some went to camp, some bought tickets to the many concerts held this summer, including Su- per Bowl of Rock featuring April Wine, Kenny Loggins, The Doobie Brothers, and lourney. The Eagles also vis- ited Kansas City as did Van Halen, ConFunkshun, and Slim Whitman. Students also spent hard earned money on tickets to see our championship winning Royals play ball.

Fall Into Fall Anticipation had been mounting for weeks and then it happened, the bell rang and we were off for another school year. The process of settling into the routine of classes came easily for self- confident seniors and seasoned juniors. The rook- ie sophomores, however, had a little trouble find- ing their way to classes in our beloved but confusing classroom situation. After a week, though, things were settled down, and it seemed as if we had never been without the sopho- mores. Then, before we had time to catch our breath, Homecoming was upon us-that time of year with floats, kings and queens, the dance, the bonfire, the parties and the game, of course. When this hectic week came to an end, devot- ed Royals' fans prepared for the upcoming play- offs in which our Royals were participating. We were jublient as we watched them, at the stadi- um and at friends' homes, win the first two games, and our merriment knew no bounds when we defeated the Yankees in New York, thus sweeping the playoffs. Finally we were able to ask Reggie who? Thousands of merrimaking fans crowded the Plaza and Westport areas and as many as 20,000 arrived at Crown Center for the official celebration. It was soon down to busi- ness, though, as we readied for our first World Series. The Philadelphia Phillies came out on top but not without a fight, as the Royals won the third and fourth games of the series. And, of course, the highlight of the fall season was the annual magazine sales. The juniors try to sell magazine subscriptions every year to pay for the lunior!Senior Prom. The hard-nosed, tight- lipped salesmen pushed subscriptions on every- one from their grandmas to unsuspecting sopho- mores. There were some unsure moments during the sales, but the juniors came through in the end. As the leaves turned their crimsons, oranges and browns, we knew fall was almost over, as well as the football games and the picnics, but what a beautiful fall it had been. nuvms srnmum nnsmcnn uznsue . -- HESTERH mulsmn JIHHHPIUHS ,, ?s-2?-vs-so 5:53 Ii?H5'?I3L .

These included class competitions, a powder puff football game be- tween junior and senior girls, and a dance the night after the game. lill james and Doug 61 Gauthier, both X81 were elect- ed Homecoming Queen and King and presided over the fes- tivities. The annual schedule of Thursday's bonfire and street dance, and senior white- vvashingg Friday's parade, pep rally, and Homecoming game, and Saturday's dance took place as planned. Charles Small, Spirit Club President, said that l'Homecoming was a success because of the outstanding cooperation and spirit of the student body. 71 9 my Xmas Cheer Who was the better of the two-or the lesser of the two? This was the decision voting Americans had to make concerning President jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagen on Nov. 4, election day. The winner was, of course, Ron- ald Reagen. Halloween, the victorious dueling pistol game, and the weeks of November trudged onward as we found ourselves anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving vacation. Many LHS stu- dents, along with some 200,000 other Kansas Citians, journeyed down to the Plaza to watch the annual lighting on Thanksgiving night. This year the lights were turned on by Royalty, that is George Brett of the K.C. Royals. Not many people were able to see, however, as the crowd was very thick. November also brought the annual musical. Students worked hard on Liberty's first oriental production, The Mikado. This musical was pre- sented Nov. 14 and 15 to nearly full houses both nights. We never thought it could happen to us, like it did to New York, but it did on that fateful day of Nov. 26. Liberty High School had a blackout of its own. For 30 minutes students roamed the darkened corridors using their bics to light the way. Some order was maintained as Dr. lon Ferguson, principal, called in the Li- berty police to help control the situation. Wild rumors ran rampant, we would go home early, and the Russians were invading, for a couple. Both proved incorrect. The lighting was re- stored and classes and time marched on. The halls weren't decked with boughs of holly, but the Yuletide season came just the same. One promotion of the Christmas spirit was the annual Christmas dance. Several stu- dents attended the holiday festivity and danced to a live band. Other seasonal activities were Concert Choir's caroling during lunch on the last day before vacation. Later that day teach- ers presented the student body with a Christ- mas tea. Students mingled with teachers before they left for two weeks of R and R.

Winter Fun Valentines day, that glorious day of love and lovers, unfortunately fell on a Saturday this year, nevertheless, eager students went ahead and celebrated on the Friday before. During the first few hours of school, senior class offi- cers delivered red carnations with messages of adoration. There was also a multitude of card exchanging-and goody giving, even the cheerleaders got into the act by baking scads of heart shaped cookies and distributing them during lunch to hunger crazed students. Of course these were probably mere tokens to what went on the next night, the real Valen- tine's. This celebration, however, didn't compare with the celebration that took place earlier in the new year. This gala was the LHS social event of the year, it was of course Courtwarming. This started the year off with a little more than its usual incredible amount of excitement. The whirlwind of activities was thrust upon innocent students the first week of return from Christmas vacation. The kickoff of the week occured Thursday night when the senior girls were locked in the gym making signs, while the senior guys were locked out putting tires on the flagpole and doing other various activities. The next morning the ever peppy senior girls made a sumptuous breakfast for the basketball team. Later in the day came the pep assembly which psyched people up for the game that night. Although the game was not a victorous one, this did not hamper the several students from attending the dance. The week ended quickly and students found themselves facing a long winter's nap. One re- lief of this came in the form of a talentfvariety show. The show was promoted and staged by the sixth hour drama class. As we were beginning to settle down again in our sheltered world, a blinding flash of reali- ty penetrated our world: The hostages were coming home. After 444 days of captivity on january 28 the Americans were freed from Iran. A rash of yellow ribbons broke out every- where you looked, and wholehearted celebra- tions and thanksgiving took place from coast to coast. The mid-winter blues were kept at bay, once again by students attending some of the many concerts K.C. had to offer. r, its .,... ' K' - X ii.. x 52311- . .. ii ,, :.::-:... . is ,,.. be 1 9 ,,, .

The senior girls stayed overnight in the gym Thursday and filled the walls of the gymnasi- um with signs and on Friday morning prepared breakfast for the team. Tony Lehr, '81, and lanice 33 wgmwwct wggwss t Bright, '81, were the winners of the leg competi- tion and the outcome of the volleyball game was the same as the powder puff game with the seniors coming out on top.

Dedication ade The Difference At the end of every school year there comes a time to say goodbye to friends who will not be re- turning the following August. This year we are not only losing seniors, but one more familiar face will be missing in the crowd. Dr. lon Ferguson, principal for the past six years, is resigning to pursue another ca- reer. Since arriving at LHS in 1975, Dr. Ferguson has gained the friendship and respect of students and fac- ulty alike. He has worked hard to achieve several goals such as the raising of expectations in staff and students, and overall improved student behavior, self- discipline, and responsibility. 'lHigh values are placed on education, as well as on personal standards. l have very favorable impressions of the student body, community, and the staff, said Dr. Ferguson. Liberty has met up to Dr. Ferguson's ideas of a suc- cessful district. l'lt has been a challenging, rich and re- warding experience he said Dr Ferguson will be remembered as a superior hardworking principal On behalf of the entire school body the Spectator staff would like to say Thank you Dr Ferguson for six wonderful and fulfilling years' K x .H 'YP W 2: luhbw JK , f X fan 'Z W' A ' 'V 1 5 wx :Wifi Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics Athletics .5 KPN.

Year for Firsts Tim Nixon is a man who attracts people. lt seems obvious after 42 male and female run- ners went out for cross country this year. Coach Nixon, Tony Lehr, '81, Vince Weath- ers, '81, Martin Weishaar, '82, Kett Craven, '82, and Rich Sherwin, '81, kept the rest of the team moving during practices. The team usually ran four to five miles before school and six to seven miles in the evening. 'This was the first year for girls to have a team, said Tony. So they should be strong if they continue to stride together. Besides the first girls team, Tony Lehr was a first for Liberty with a third place finish, out of a field of 170, at state competition. The varsity finished with a third place slot at conference only to be surpassed by the junior Varsity that swept the top five places and got a perfect score. 'll thought that the team did a great job for the lack of varsity experience we had, said Coach Tim Nixon. 11 Kett Craven, '82, shows determination on the last leg of the race. 21 Martin Weishaar, '82, works hard to keep his lead. 31 Rich Sherwin, '82, strides down the path to victory. 41 The girls cross country team made a good showing in their first year. 51 Tony Lehr, '81, dominates the cross country course. 61 Craig VanGorp, '81, runs alone. 71 The cross country team prepares for another easy win. 1 S E S YP Q 5 E x Q l 31 41 J Y-44444444444444444444444444-V-44444444444-Y-444-V-444444 We worked well together, because we all strived to- gether for the same goal-to win. lays beat NKC Tracy Austins? Maybe. But whether or not they are, the girls tennis team is definitely on its way up. Their season this year consisted of an 11-2 record, of which the sweetest victory was a win over North Kansas City, who had been undefeated for seven years by any team north of the river. They also tied with the NKC team for first place in conference and went on to win first in district. 'I think the girls worked hard to accomplish the goals they've reached, said Coach Tom Albright. l'With a couple of straight losses early in the year, it made the girls more determined to do better, and they haven't lost a match since then. lt was in agreement by the players that their great season was due to the teamwork of the whole squad. llWe worked well together, said Lori Sharp, '81, because we all strived together for the same goal-to win. Holly Burton, '82, and Beth Howard, '81, were both major strengths, being co-confer- ence and district champs, qualifying them for state where Beth took fourth place in singles competition. 'After participating in four years of high school tennis, I regret to depart from this stage of my life, said Beth, llbut the fond memories of my teammates and coaches will always re- mann. 1j Front row: Amy Rock, Heidi Prather, Shirley Peterman, Holly Bur- ton.

Volleyball has rebuilding year A lack of varsity experience and a lack of a sense of teamanship contributed to the girls volleyball team record of 2-13 and necessitated the year to be one of rebuilding. Under the leadership of new coaches Dale Lewkowsky and Mary Ann Sodja, the team's concentration shifted from winning to gaining experience for next year. Trying to overcome all obstacles and play as well as could be expected because of the lack of varsity experience, the 1980 season was tru- ly Ma rebuilding time, commented team cap- tain Kay Kovar, '81. The players gained varsity experience this year and were taught the techniques of work- ing together as a team. llThe beginning seemed slow, but towards the end we started to get together as a team, said Lewkowsky. One player's work was rewarded by her be- ing named to first-team all-conference. Kovar was selected by area coaches for this honor. Dianne Kirwan, '83, received an honorable mention in conference play. 1j Row One: Gidget Cathy, Debbie Katz, Christine Peterman, Cyndi Peterman, Sammie Farmer, Tara Smith, Kathy Eichenberg, Kay Kovar, Laura Meyer, Sharon Sears, Dianne Kirwan, lodi Schoonover.

Three of the four losses came to top ten ranked area teams. The team climaxed the year by winning the dueling pistols for the fourth straight year from Excelsior Springs. Team leadership was a key to the team's turn around, according to Coach Hall. l'Leadership, from an outstanding group of 13 seniors led by the offensive lineman, Chris Kramer, leff Stanton, Hal Wilson, Doug Gauthier, Bret Greenwood, and Brian Briggs, was the key element, Hall said. The other senior leaders include Timm Bechter, second leading receiver, Pat Crisler, special teams captain, Eric Stessman, career field goal record holder, Dennis Warmen, leading tackler, Doug Triplett record holder for longest fumble return for touchdown vs. Excelsior Springs, and Dan Anderson best Liberty running back since Liberty High School's graduate, Kevin Houston. fcontinued on page 491 U Another one bites the dust.

Anderson broke the longest touchdown run in Liberty history with a 96 yard run vs. Excelsior Springs. Anderson totaled 975 yards rushing for the season with an average of over 108 yards per game and over 5 yards per carry. He scored 11 touchdowns, and broke the record for longest interception re- turn with a 101 yard jaunt. You may think the loss of these outstand- ing seniors will send the lays into another two year drought. Think again. The Bluejays field a strong junior class who helped the team achieve its first winning season in two years. One of the highlights of this year's season was the St. Pius game. The lays met St. Pius, ranked first in the area, for their third outing. Maurice Pearl, top running back in the state, was expected to be a threat, but in the Warriors' first offensive play, Pearl was in- jured and remained out for the rest of the game. The lays capitalized and the hard fought battle ended in a tie 20-20, but Pius scored in overtime and won 27-20. 'We should have won the game because we out played them, said Triplett. l'We proved that we were just as good and even better than St. Pius. The junior varsity squad had a winning season also. They ended the season with a 5-2 record. Credit should go to Coach Hall and his assistant coaches: Ken Robinson, Dave Rebori, George Hoover, and Gary Bressman. 1j Coach Robinson explains the basics to Brad Smith, '82.

We've done better this year than ever before. . Y Season ls Best As a team we could have done a lot bet- ter, said Patti O'Dell, '81 uWe had a real promising season. We had a lot of talent and we always tried hard, but things just didn't work out. Maybe the year wasn't as successful as some would have liked it to have been, but the girl's basketball team has really had a tremendous season. The season ended up with a record of 11- 12, but this hardly shows the real standing of the games. Most of the defeats came in the last few minutes of the game, where the team was edged out by only one or two points. Overall, this was still one of the best seasons the team has ever had, and according to Coach Terry Skiles the three most important strengths of the team were the excellent senior leadership, good defense, and a lot of hustle. We lost some games we could have easily won, said Coach Skiles, 'but on the whole we've done pretty good. We've done better this year than ever before. 11 Patti O'Dell, '81, gets her elbows locked as she shoots for two. 21 Looking on in happy amazement, Sammie Farmer, '82, Patti O'Dell, '81, and Coach Terry Skiles sit on the sidelines. 31 Beth Howard, '81, dribbles down the court to set up the next play. 41 Terri Smith, '83, artfully keeps the ball away from her opponent. 51 Hey, woman, you better watch out, said lanice Bright, '81, as she dribbles around her Central foe. 61 Cindy Houx, '81, releases the ball, hoping for two. 71 Kay Kovar, '81, still goes in for the shot as her opponents casually beat upon her head. 81 Kneeling: Kerana Lee, Beth Howard, Cindy Houx, Rosiland Cathy, Kay Kovar, lanice Bright, Laura Meyer, Patti O'DelI.

The wrestler is on the mat with his opponent for a total of six minutes. The outcome of the match depends on skill and endurance. 'lt's the long- est and the hardest six minutes of your life, commented Danny Sambursky, '81. The time spent in-between meets can also be very long and hard. The wrestler partici- pates in a certain weight division and must watch his weight at all times. Individual accomplishments are also a very important part of wrestling. This year three seniors accomplished the feat of going to state. They were Mike Cecil, Paul Richmond and Danny Sambursky, all '81, Even though they did not place, the satisfaction and effort it took to get there was rewarding in itself. The squad as a whole started the season with high expectations and many goals. Al- though not all of the goals were met the squad still had a successful season overall, said Paul Richmond, '81. Being a wrestler takes a lot of responsibility and sacrifice. Coach Hoover summed it up best when he said, ubecause of the way they wres- tled towards the end of the season, which was successful, they were better wrestlers and bet- ter people. 1j Grapplers Row 1: Gary Copeland, Danny Sambursky, Paul Rich- mond, Mike Cecil, Eric Peterson, Carl Deitrick, jeff Carter, john Cox.

One, they have had the new swimming facilities at William lewell. Second, the swim team saw a lot of their seniors leave and has been faced with young participants. This year was a time of rebuilding for the team. On the surface it appears that last year was a better year, but in reality it wasn't. 'Our swim team this year was very small and young. There were twenty-two boys on the team with the majority being freshmen and sophomores, said Kent Peach, coach. Diving has become a top priority within the team. Emphasis was given in diving so that there will be more divers. I want the team to have more than just one or two good divers, commented Peach. The team's best showing as a whole took place at Blue Springs and St. joe Central. Here the majority of the swimmers improved their times. One swimmer, Mark Schwab, went to state this year.

We will be very competi- Y tive next year. lays lam The LHS boys basketball team is coming off an injury hampered 13-10 season and is looking towards next year. 'lt's been a rather frustrating season overall, Dan Longstreth, varsity coach said. We had a tough schedule. The injuries to our players af- fected the development of the team, since we didn't have a steady lineup. l'm pleased that people we didn't count on to play came through for us. Dan Anderson, '81, was the teams leading scorer before he was injured in the Courtwarming game against Center. Anderson sprained his ankle and missed two weeks of action. Greg Metcalfe, '81, also missed several weeks of play due to the ankle injury sustained during the William lewell Tournament over Christmas vacation. While the loss of two starting seniors effected the team, their positions were not left unfilled. Steve Haden, '82, filled Andersons shoes by leading the team in scoring during the remainder of the season. l'Haden picked up the slack in scoring, Longstreth commented. 'He really asserted himself. lcon't on page 59j U Dan Anderson, '81, slam dunks. 21 David Gibbs, '81, does his Curly Neal impression. 3j Hal Wilson, ' '81, shows good fundamentals in diving on a loose ball. 4j The Bluejays listen intently to Coach Longstreth's instructions during a time-out.

Several sophomores also got varsity playing time during the period that both Anderson and Metcalfe were out of action. Coach Longstreth thinks the team will do well next year, partly due to the playing time the sophomores got. 'We will be very competitive next year, he commented. We've got several people with varsity experience which will help. After a slow start, the lunior Varsity basket- ball squad finished with a record of 5-10. Liber- ty's predominantly sophomore team was inex- perienced compared to other predominantly junior teams. 'We only had three juniors on l.V. most of the year so it was more difficult to defeat teams with a lot of juniors, said Martin Weishaar, '82. When the Bluejays varsity team was struck with injuries, players from l.V. were moved into varsity positions, thus hindering l.V. more. Our team improved all during the year, said Stipetich.

It was a grueling camp . . . but winning made you forget it. Pompon Sweeps Camp Awards Hardworking but easygoingf' this is how jennifer Holferty, the pompon sponsor, de- scribes this year's award winning squad. lt was evident from the beginning that this year's squad was going to be good. The Liberty pompon squad sweat up a storm as they won 21 out of 28 possible blue rib- bons, two trophies and the camp spirit stick. The two trophies awarded were the Sweep- stakes award, presented for the most accumu- lated blue ribbons, and the 'Best Home Rou- tine trophy. The girls performed this top honored routine at the first pep assembly to the music NBandstand. The squad attended camp at lowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Since the girls didn't meet their new sponsor until school started, they did all the preparation for camp on their own. lt was a grueling camp. We were out on the campus for about seven to eight hours a day in 95-100 degree heat, said Mitzi Roberts '81, llbut winning made you forget the heat. Mrs. Holferty, a LHS graduate, obtained her pompon experience as a William lewell Cardet for three years. She helps the squad with the perfection of routines and with organization. She is a stickler for perfection, said Laura Williams '81 l'She makes us work up to our fullest potential-that means a lot of hardwork, but it pays off in having more polished routines. ,, 7? , ,L , X M, 1, 564 ..

Besides the regular spirit shirts, white cowboy hats and blue feathers were seen on many Spirit Club members. For more organization new mini-clubs were formed like the pyramid club, sign club, and the kazoo band. All Spirit Club members paid S2 in order to pay for ac- tivities sponsored by the club. The club was to promote spirit at the games, but Mrs. Wideman, sponsor, felt the spirit was condi- tional-people cheering when they didn't have anything else to do. UWe just need to work and cheer together, she said. In addition to Spirit Club, Pep Band helped to promote spirit at the basketball games. The band led by both Pat Crisler, '81, and Cindy Dunham, '81, aroused the crowds at the games. Some changes were a new side for the band stand and a limit on their playing. Several Pep Band members, however, felt they were limited too much by the administration. 'Last year we could play when and what we wanted, but now we're dictated to on our playing, said Pat Crisler. Even though the Pep Band would have ap- preciated more respect from the students and administration, it still managed to lift the spirits of everyone. 1j Kazoo Band Members-Row 1: Kathleen Bishop, ludy Emst, lill Elliot.

The Mikado is a musical of nine different characters intertwined, set in fuedal japan. The musical's plot lies around the disappearance of the Mikado's son, Nanki-Poo, played by Tom Bell, '81, and the search for him by Katisha, an elderly lady be- trothed to Nanki-Poo. Katisha was played by three seniors, Katrina Forbis, Rebie Browne, and Beth jones. Humerous moments in the musical came from jim McGuire, '82, who portrayed Ko-Ko, jill james, '81, who was Pitti-Sing, and Dan Gabrielse, '81, who played the part of Pooh-Bah, Lord High everything. These three characters provided the right dialogue and facial expressions to set the mood for a ridiculous situation. A wonderful job was done this year on choreogra- phy by Robert Bucker, music instructor and director of the musical. Entrances and finales were all colorful and eye-catching. 'lThe reason it turned out so well is the amount of time put in by everyone, in the chore- ography and in the appearance, said Martin Weishaar, '82. lj Pooh QDan Gabrielse, '81j, Ko-Ko Ulm McGuire, '82j and Pitti-Sing Qjill james, '81j, kneel to the Mikado of japan. 21 Various leads of T he Mikado sing a song of reflection. 31 Ko-Ko explains a devious plan to Nanki-Poo lTom Bell, '81j. 4j A message from the Mikado worries some of the townsfolk.

The Forensic team participated in twelve tournaments this year. The team did its best at Truman and Fort Osage. Both coaches have goals set for the future. 'I would like to see the team increase its membership and receive more support, com- mented Mrs. Mesendiek.

AFS ls Beneficial On launary 15 two girls set off on a sixth month stay in a different state of the U.S. Lauri Hedrick, '82, flew to Elliotville, New York to spend sec- ond semester of her junior year. Lauri decided this was a good experience for her because she learned how to ski. She also participated in school and church activities. This was a unique time for Lauri, even though before she left she said, I was ex- cited and scared at the same time. Conincidentally, Melissa Staff, '83, left from Wellsboro, Penn- sylvania on a 29 hour bus trip bound for Kansas City the same day. When Melissa arrived at the bus station her new sister, Lisa Hughes, '82, was there to meet her. When Melissa first got to Liberty she noticed the difference in size, Wellsboro has less than 4,000 people and Liberty has 20,000. Melissa also found our classroom set up a bit different than Wellsboro's. uUnless the door is open and the teacher is yelling you don't know what's going on in the other classrooms, but here you can really hear everything around youfx Melissa felt that when she goes away to college she will be ready to make the adjustment because of the experience she had in Liberty with AFS. Both Lauri and Melissa felt they were very fortunate to have been involved with such a beneficial program, AFS. fa Students Understand Living in a foreign country and learning about their culture was the experience of Angie Perry, '81, and Sigrid Bragelemann, '81. Rio Cuarto, Argentina, was the home of Angie Perry's AFS family, the Sanchezes. During her stay from june 15 to August 29, Angie attended a technical high school for agriculture students. She enjoyed helping take care of the special farm where the students tested their knowledge of agriculture. 'Everyone would do a certain job and help the operation run smoothly, she said. Angie also enjoyed the class work even though it was much harder than school in the U.S. Taking Spanish for 3 years inspired Angie to want to exper- ience a culture using this language. At first when Angie arrived in Argentina she had trouble understanding what the people were saying because they talked so fast, 'but after awhile, even though I really couldn't say something to them quickly, l could understand what they were saying easily, commented Angie. Sigrid Bragelemann, a Youth For Understanding student, which is closely associated with AFS, also found it hard to un- derstand the native language, English. The slang made it very hard to understand what people said, Sigrid said. Sigrid also noticed that in her home town of Vechta, Ger- many, 'The houses are made of stone and are very close to- gether and in Liberty the houses are made of wood and are far apart, she said. The town is small, but the people are nice. While living in Liberty, Sigrid stayed with Sheila Howerton, '82, and family. She also found that the school was much easi- er but that the student-to-teacher relationship was much closer. Like Angie, Sigrid will never forget the experience she had in a foreign country. 1j AFS students plant a tree at LHS for the International Tree Growth.

MM WWA 'av' ,f'm ' 21 Lifestyle ls Fun Hilde Arntsen, American Field Service Foriegn exchange stu- dent, discovered that LHS was harder than the school she at- tended back in Norway. There were seven classes a day and each day the schedule was different. Although LHS was more difficult, Hilde enjoyed being here. She stayed with Lisa Sherrick, '82, and especially enjoyed sharing recipes which in- cluded the word cabbage that she confused with the word garbage. Hilde and the Sherricks enjoyed lots of laughs with that one. Hilde has two brothers and one sister both here and at home in Moss, Norway. Although things were really different here, Hilde said, ul loved it, what better way to understand the American's world wide point of view than to experience it yourself. Another AFS student who experienced American lifestyle this past year was Ceci Almeida. She enjoyed the United States, but found it a bit different than she heard it would be. For example, Ceci was under the impression that 'tpeople were very liberal here, but really they're not. They are really conservative in their ways, commented Ceci. Another comparison is between her home city of Brasilia in Brazil and Liberty. Brasilia has the population of 2 million while Liberty's population consisted of approximately 20,000. The school system also shows a difference. ln Brazil they have 17 subjects and go to school each day from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. six days a week. Ceci stayed with the Wiggins family and enjoyed living and attending high school in Liberty. Ceci expressed this by saying, uthe kids are more controlled by society here, but the AFS program is very good because I have learned to understand your culture and people and also myself. FFA ls Training Future Farmers of America QFFAJ is an organization which provides an opportunity for young people to learn and be a part of agriculture, said lohn Watt, '83, The farmers start with a su- pervised occupational education project in the ninth grade and reach degrees each year with the top degree being National Farmer. Some of the projects are raising hogs, cows, sheep, rabbits, corn, soybeans, and even bees. 'FFA trains them to become better farmers, better citizens, and better leaders in the community. They also develop leadership and learn to cooperate with others, said Dr. Dale jackson, Sponsor. 1j Wayne Arnold, '83, charts his projects movement. 21 Seeing their name in the paper brings excitement to an Ag. class.

These clubs sell candy bars for their year- end banquet for the students and employ- ers. These students are permitted to leave school for part of the day to work. Each student must be a senior and have a job working at least ten hours per week. ln DECA besides having retail jobs, the students are enrolled in Distributive Educa- tion class, and they receive two credits per year-one each for classwork and for working. In SOE while working in an office job, the students must be enrolled in clerical or secretarial practice or bookkeeping and keep an S average in these classes. Also, they receive one credit for working. Most of the DECA and SOE students feel that these clubs prepare them for the outside world.

This year we had one main goal- to help others receive recognition for their school activities, said Bev Helton, '81, STUCO president. 'That was to change the rules of the Homecoming and Courtwarming Courts. We thought that, especially in the girls' case, the girls have their chance to make Homecoming Court, besides Spectator Court, so we went back to the old tradition that if you make Homecoming Court you can't be in the Courtwarming Court.

She stated: 'NHS is an honor society not a ser- vice organization as stated in the National Consti- tution, however, l am pleased with the involve- ment in service areas that this year's society had. The members were actively involved in work- ing with Concern Care, an organization for the handicapped. Other involvements included work- ing with the Boy Scouts at Maple Valley School for the handicapped and also visiting elderly peo- ple and shut-ins. Students who have a 3.0 grade point average are voted on by the faculty to be elected as a member of NHS. A list of these students goes out to the faculty who then circles the names of stu- dents they know and checks the names in which they feel qualify for NHS. l've gained a lot of personal understanding, as well as how to work with other people, said ju- lie Young, '81, about NHS. 11 NHS Officers-Doug Triplett, Vice President, jill E. james, Secretary: Beth Howard, Treasurer, Rusty Fracassa, President.

Who would already be out to see this scene besides the paperboy? The dedi- cated participants of intramural Whiffleball and basketball. According to lim Dunn, sponsor, the purpose of intramurals is 'to give kids a chance to participate in athletics who don't normally get to, but it's mainly to just have fun. Besides just the kids getting into the act there are two faculty teams, one from both the junior and senior high. The faculty teams compete against one another as well as the student teams. 'lt's amazing, said Mr. Dunn, The interest is still very high. The dedicated people really turn out. Also, under the heading of intramurals comes the girls' powderpuff football and volleyball games. The football was really rough and tumble this year with a lot of hard hitting and playing. The seniors came out on top in the football game shutting out the ju- niors with a score of 16-O. The preparation for the volleyball match wasn't quite as or- ganized as the football game due to Courtwarming week being the first week back from Christmas va- cation. A group of loyal seniors and juniors showed up and the games were head and head with the seniors taking the first one and the juniors coming back to grab the second, but the seniors finally took the close third game, winning it 15-13.

Typical of every year, the choir, directed by Mr. Robert Bucker, was chosen to perform at many special engagements such as the Missouri Music Educators Association's State Convention on jan. 15 at Tan-Tar-A, and a unique experience singing on Dec. 18 with pro- fessional members of the K.C. Philharmonic and the UMKC Conservatory of Music staff. The choir was the first non-professional performing group to perform in this 'Friends of Chamber Music series. 'More than any previous year, these stu- dents have performed at an extremely high level, stated Bucker. While at Tan-Tar-A, Dan Gabrielse, '81, Lori McCoy, '81, and jim McGuire, '82, also sang for the All-State Choir. The annual Christmas concert, caroling at Alameda Plaza Ho- tel, district and state music contest, the annual spring concert, and Baccaleureate were other events on their busy schedule.

LHS Bands Excel After the marching season was concluded it was time for Symphonic and Concert band to begin. In order to divide the members up into two bands there had to be try outs. After these try outs there were approximately 40 in Sym- phonic band and 60 in Concert band. Dnce the bands completed sight reading for a couple of Weeks, they began to prepare for their first con- cert on February 5. T'The concert was a hard one but it came off really well, said Hal Wilson, '81. Several of the members of the band were se- lected for All-State in December. They were: julie Adkins, '83, Mike lanas, '82, Heidi Prather, '83, Luann Litle, '82, Mary Webb, '83, and Kim Eisenhauer, '8l. At the conclusion of the February concert they began rehearsing for contest and the March 17 COHCEIT.

Staff Works Hard There's a lot more involved in putting out a newspaper than just writing stories. llPeople don't realize how long it actually takes to put out The Bell Carla Wasdyke, '81, ex- plained. As soon as we're done with one paper, we start working on the next issue. We don't have time to relax. While that may be considered a problem for some, it can also be beneficial. llComing out every two weeks makes every- body realizes they can't just sit around, Kathleen Bishop, '82, commented. llThere's always some- thing that needs to be done. Aside from the problems, Amanda Rigg, '81, also noted that there have been a lot of im- provements. 'The paper is more appealing and attractive, Amanda explained. llThere's been a lot of im- provement over the past years. We've made some big changes. The paper looks a lot better and the overall caliber of stories is a lot higher. Some of the changes include an increase in the number of publications per year, changing from a four column to a five column page and the ac- quisition of a new adviser. Although the staff has improved a lot, they are still fighting a bad reputation from the student body. The inerest in the paper by the student body over the past several years has been very small, Carla commented. We're fighting the reputation left over from old staffs. lt's hard enough holding our own without trying to fight a reputation. iz , X we X 45: e ..... -K S ' 21 is' 51 11 Row 1: Cosette Andersen, Amy Watt, Amanda Rigg, Carla Wasdyke.

Changes Are Made When you were looking to buy a yearbook this year did you miss seeing the Spectator Business Staff clowns roaming the halls? Along with the absence of a Business Staff and the starting of a one day sale drive for the yearbook, many other changes were made this year. The style of the book is changing to a larger, more pro- fessional size, which will allow room for more pictures. And added this year were a senior directory and a mini magazine. Also, it was brought to the attention of the staff, that in the past minorities were not being adequately represented. The Spectator is now making a more concentrated effort to include a better representation of all students. 'A lot of changes were made this year, said Patti O'Dell, '81, editor, 'including a better representation of minority students. Being the editor, I see the problems and the hard work going into the book. I don't know whether l want to see the student reaction to the book because l'm so proud of it, and l'm afraid they vvon't like it. 49 53 ...Q - X B X - .L,.::.- s, 11 Trustworthy David Bowman, '81, Busi- ness Editor, enjoys his responsibilities. 2j Patti O'DeIl, '81, editor, knows the joys that come out of the yearbook, 3j Glenna Ford and Theresa Black, both '82, consider the work that piles up before them. .

Changes improve school function Many changes have taken place at LHS this year including the new gym facilities, closed lunch, and the new commons area. The new gym has pro- vided opportunities for many uses this year. It has enabled all the sports' practices to be at reasonable times when the weather outside was not permitable. The new varsity girls' locker room also had its benefits. lllt's nice to have a girls' varsity locker room and to be able to use the tcoedj weight room without interfering with the guys. Now we don't have to knock before we go in, said Kathleen Bishop, '82. Another improvement came with Wilma Foster, kitchen manager, who has provided students with a better food service. Besides having a staff of 13 cooks, she had the new kitchen facilities to work with, which she considered llfantasticf' All together the improvements made this year received mixed comments as some students thought the lunches were good and others still complained about the food and closed lunch. 3 Ni?

But unlike the cliff hanger they predicted, the voters in America varified that they were still in charge of the voting process and swept Republicans into office all across America including the President and a Republican majority in the Senate. LHS had no more of a clue than the U.S. that the elec- tion would turn out as it did. But while LHS was busy on Tuesday in a special Selection day debating political ideas, watching patriotic films and voting in a mock election, all across America a silent majority was being heard. The election day at LHS was held for the purpose of in- forming the students of political issues, who was running for office and to emphasize the importance of voting, ex- plained Marie Ryczek, chairman of the Election Day at LHS committee. 'llt's an exhilerating experience to see a large number of students really excited about issues and candidates, and the way our government works, commented Mrs. Ryczek. I definitely think the day was a success. 109 AVS, a New Start Hands-on-training is the basic idea of the Area Vo- cational School in Excelsior Springs. Twenty-five LHS students participate in this special program. They go the first half of the day there, then return to Liberty for three hours. The curriculum includes air conditioning and refrig- eration, auto mechanics, carpentry, drafting, electron- ics, and office and health occupations. Each division has highly qualified instructors who specialize in that division. For example, a registered nurse teaches the health occupations class. The student-teacher ratio is good. ul like it better than regular school because I have the chance to work with a teacher on a one-to-one basis, commented Mark Andrew, '81, Attending classes in Excelsior means a three hour class as opposed to the one hour class at LHS. Since the class is longer the students have the opportunity for a lot of training which enables them to know more about their career. Hit has kept me interested in my career. I have learned more about its advantages and disadvantages, said Rita Stevens, '82, This is a beneficial program which helps students pre- pare for' the future. 11 Lori Sharp, '81, gains experience from hands-on-training. 2j Row 1: Dicky Geier, Scott Kephart, Duane Boswell, Robert Phillips, Sam Porter, leff Foster, Richard McKineIy, Billie Stouffer, Connie VanCamp, Rita Ste- venson.

Sound familiar? Maybe to john Belushi and the Delta house, but it doesn't quite relate to the KA frat house, although they do have their own strange going-ons, so says Dawn McKenney, '81. Dawn works at the Kappa Alpha house as kitchen help. She sets the table, helps get din- ner ready, and cleans up when the guys are through. Dawn, who's been working at the house since last year, first found out about the job through the school announcements. 'At first l thought it sounded strange and never really thought about taking it. But she was tired of job hunting, so she decided to go down and apply. She got hired and started working the same day. Dawn said she hated it and wanted to quit at first. mln a house with 40 guys and you don't know any of them, you just feel stupid, said Dawn. The KA house has its own share of college pranks and Dawn has been the scapegoat for a lot of them. l'One time, somebody called me to the back pantry and so l decided to get some juice while I was back there. I opened up the freez- er and Buford was in there with an apple in his mouth like a pig. lt was so weird-I just couldn't handle it! said Dawn. It's real offbeat, but it's a totally different job than anybody else has. I would never quit now-l love it! leff Carter Susie Carter Michael A. Cecil Debi Chrisman ffl: f V Xl?

When he was 17, he went to the local radio station to get a part time job doing odd jobs, but ended up as a part time disc jockey at KLDY-KSAS radio sta- tion. l'Having the feeling of talking to a lot of people can be terrify- ing, but if you sit back and relax, it's like having a one-on-one con- versation with someone next to you, said Randy. uYou have to put out of your mind that there are a lot of peo- ple listening and just think that it's only you and the microphone. Randy enjoys the contact with the public, but he likes making his own decisions more.

Yong Allen, '81, participates in a very valuable activity concerning himself and his country. Yong is a member of the ROTC program. He thinks it is the way to reach a job that he will really like. Yong thinks the most important reason for joining was ill get a real chance to serve my country. He spends one weekend a month at the M.O.S. Reserve Center in Kansas City, Mo. At the center it is just like being in the regular army. 'They make it as real as can be by expecting us to follow the stan- dard regulations, Yong said. Re- cently, Yong was appointed a squad leader. He oversees seven other men. He plans to attend college almost completely at the expense of the Army. Upon finishing college Yong has a six year obligation to the US. Army, but plans to make it a ca- reer. Yong would like to be a Green Beret. 'To be a Green Beret would be the greatest achievement be- cause they are the elite. They live off the land and their main purpose is to fight beyond enemy lines, Yong said. All would like to be stationed in my home country, Korea. I would also like to stay with the United States Army as long as I possibly can. Scott Gray Brain K.

This is where the rider is judged on the quality and style of his riding rather than on the horse s performance. l get the greatest satisfaction from Equitation competition Amanda said because it s me. Amanda plans on selling her horses before she goes to college, Then after college she wants to buy another horse and take up where she left off.

Although seniors, Eric Stessman, Scott McGregor, David Ewing and Brian Briggs haven't either, they did play Strat-O-Matic football that long. They start- ed playing at 7 p.m. and didn't stop until 10 p.m. the next day. l'Strat-O-Matic is a strategic sports game in which 'you' coach real teams, explained Eric. The game consists of using player stat- istics, team play cards and dice to score a victory over your opponent. The boys' interest in the game began when they read an article on Strat-O-Matic and wrote the magazine for details. Eric has gone as far as building his own stadium modeled after the Metropolitan Stadium of the Minnesota Vikings. Scott and David also play Strat-O-Matic by mail. The game takes a lot of concentration but anyone can play. 'lWinning the Super Bowl was the most important victory in my life, said Eric.

But for Allen Masters, senior, driving these expensive cars is not an unusual experience. Al- len is one of the few valets in the K.C. area, and his job is to park customers' cars at the Hereford House. Allen has gained much exper- ience with his work. Pl like parking a lot of different cars and learning about them, he said. Every car is different from another and understanding the mechanics of each takes time. For example, Allen said, llThe first time I parked a Mercedes, I couldn't figure out how to turn off the lights. lt's a lot of fun and very in- teresting, he said, uAnd l meet a lot of dignified people. Some of the celebrities Allen has met include Mayors Wheel- er and Berkley, and Pat Hingle, the star of the old 'Gunsmoke series. Besides gaining the exper- ience, Allen also benefits from the pay. His only salary comes from the tips that customers give him, averaging about 52.00 per car but sometimes up to SB1500.

The goal of this organization is to teach young people citizenship and practical skills for use in later life. This summer Amy Watt, who has been a member of 4-H eleven years, was elected Green Hills Area Representative to the Missouri State 4-H Council. This is the highest office a club member can hold. Amy's primary responsibility is to represent 4-Hers in the Green Hills area. Amy enjoys responsibility because llit teaches you leadership. Amy has accomplished many things in 4-H. Among these, she excells in horsemanship and clothing. Last year Amy won a quarterhorse colt. Amy said, lt's really neat, l get to show her this summer. Amy's main goal is to win a trip to Chicago. Amy feels that she has benefited from 4-H by learning about citizenship, leader- ship, responsibility and how to get along with others.

Sheri Kerrick and her family have made a hobby of collecting and restoring Mustangs. No, not the four-legged critterg her hobby is a whole horse of a different color. Sheri's family restores and collects Ford Mus- tang cars. They bought and started restoring their first car in 1974. They usually find a car requiring repair work, then start restoring from there. l'We got the pine green '66 convertible for S25 out of an old cow pasture, restored it, and now it's priceless, stated Sheri. Sheri and her family enjoy spending a lot of time perfecting their cars. llThe self-satisfaction of the finished product is reason enough, but we also enjoy it because of an overall family interest, said Sheri. Two members of the Kerrick collection, the '66 convertibles, have been admired through- out the Kansas City area when they appeared on PM Magazine.

Marcia White Ronnie Wilkerson lulie Williams Laura Williams Rhonda's Deadl judo is a lapanese sport similar to wrestling. lt involves a complex system of physical and mental skills that help produce both mental and physical fitness. Rhonda Eckman, '81, spends a great deal of time practicing ludo. She first found ludo interest- ing about five years ago when she started work- ing for Parks and Recreation in Liberty. After that Rhonda began to find ludo a serious challenge. Uludo teaches many possible uses of the body, but it also stresses the importance of strategy in defeating an opponent, said Rhonda. Rhonda's last time to compete was about two years ago. Competing in several tournaments, she has collected a number of trophies. ln a tourna- ment, an athlete tries to get his or her opponent off balance so that he can throw, trip, choke, or hold him. l'ludo includes many bodily techniques that give a smaller opponent an advantage over a .arger, stronger opponent, said Rhonda. Rhonda has earned her way up to a brown belt, which is next to a black belt.

According to Dr. Ferguson, the key to a successful school year is the general positive attitude of stu- dent leadership towards the sys- tem. He said that this year matura- tion was evident in the leadership in all three classes. Dr. Ferguson said he and assistant principal C.W. Stessman were also aided by a well prepared faculty and effective leadership of PTA, Student Council, Spirit Club, and other student organizations that kept LHS operating as smoothly as possible. The Liberty Public School District is under the direction of the Board of Education, Dr. Robert E. Black, superintendent, and Dr. Crenvell Foraker and Mr. Noble Freden, as- sistant superintendents.

Usually it is a relief to be separated from the other, but there seems to be no problem between brother and sister teachers Tom Albright and jennifer Holferty. Both teachers have come a long way from their childhood years in Liberty. Mrs. Holferty recalls being chased by Mr. Albright and another brother and running into a barbed wire fence. She still has a scar from that episode. Both graduated from LHS, Mr. Albright in '71 and Mrs. Holferty in '73. They seemed to have noticed a few changes in the school such as the modernized facilities and the broadening of women's sports. Mrs. Holferty came to Liberty this year as a physical education teacher and Mr. Albright came three years ago with majors in both physical education and business. He had pre- viously taught phys. ed., but the opening here was in business, so he took it. They both agree that they have a successful working relationship even though they teach at the same school.

He builds models of buildings. Buildings such as a store and a bakery. Besides this, Mr. McCullough constructs string art. Mr. McCuIlough's Christian faith also plays a large part in his life. Mr. McCullough's challenge to the students of LSH is to learn everything that they possibly can, not for their own benefit but for the benefit of society. 164 Q--.M no if 13 Q11 Mrs. lones lends a helping hand.

Ryczek has several places she'd like to see in the future. lll'd love to see Greece, she said. ul must see Vienna and go to Venice before Venice isn't there anymore. l'd also like to see the pyramids in Egypt. Aside from her traveling, Ryczek also keeps in touch with several former AFS students. 'l've got the addresses of several of the students, Ryczek said. 'We write back and forth about whats going on in our different areas.

Mrs. Helen Croan, Mrs. Wilma Dehay, Mrs. Gerry Kissinger and Mrs. lo Krones all participate in Aerobic dancing. When most people think of Aerobics they think of dancing. In reality it is more exercise than dance. lts main ob- jective is to strenthen the heart and at the same time it may help you lose weight. The secretaries attend class twice a week with each being about one hour long. i'Each class consists of jumping, stretching, running and floor exercises done to music, said Mrs. Croan, admin- istrative secretary. Mrs. Krones, attendance secretary has personal reasons for Aerobics. ul will contnue for mankind and my hips, she said. qvpuww Helen Croan, Administrative Secretary Wilma DeHay, Administra- tive Secretary Gerry Kissinger, Guidance Secre- tary lo Krones, Attendance Secretary Marjorie McClelland, Attendance Secretary lean Spracklin, Teacher's Aide Askren, School Nurse 169 X?

Every male 18 to 21 years old had to regis- ter in case of the need for a draft. Despite protests against the peace- time registration, thousands of draft- age men turned out at local post of- fices. U.S.S.R. lnvades After the hostages were captured the Soviet Union planned to use Af- ghanistan as a stepping stone toward gaining control of the Persian Gulf, an oil rich area of the Middle East. A Communist party leader was installed as a puppet leader in the Afghan government. Afghans opposed the new leader so Russian troops were sent to occupy Afghanistan and quell the rebellion. New Union Emerges Polish workers found meaning in strength in numbers when, last fall, thousands of Poles staged strikes against the Communist party to fight for an indepen- dent trade union. Though the Polish people succeeded in opposing Communist rule to create Solidarity, the first labor union, the possibility of an in- vasion by Russian forces will continue to be a threat in 1981. Gas on the Rise? On September 3, 1980, Iraqi planes bombed Iran, resulting in open war- fare. The split in the Arab world put a slowdown on the production of oil exported to countries such as the U.S. A prolonged Iran-Iraq conflict could result in increased oil prices, which would be felt in the economy in the form of higher gasoline prices and gas shortages.

November 4, 1980 marked the date of two important events in the U.S. The first was the anniversary of the capture of the hostages in Iran. They had been held captive since November of 1979, and were finally released in lanuary of 1981. The second event was the 1980 Presidential election, in which Ronald Reagan won over limmy Carter with his ideas to rebuild America by fight- ing unemployment and inflation, bal- ancing the federal budget, and re-es- tablishing America's military superiority. Prime Rate Soars Last winter the prime lending rate skyrocketed to 22'X,, the highest rate known in history. The instability of the American economy was one of the factors held responsible 333355 for the increase. Not only did the high rate put a limit on major credit card usage, but it also made bank loans and home mortgaging almost impossible to come by. 4 Sport Events Sports - New Decade As the new decade began, many spectacular events occurred in the world of sports. There were records broken, championships won, and new stars appearing everywhere. First for Georgia ln college athletics attendance records were broken everywhere in the country. Louisville, led by superstar Karrell Griffith won the NCAA crown in college basketball defeating the UCLA Bruins 59-54. The Bruins record of 17-9 barely earned them a selection to the NCAA tour- nament. The college football season saw a new superstar arrive on the scene in Georgia. Freshman Herschell Walker led the Georgia Bulldogs to their first national championship. De- spite Walder's NCAA freshman rush- ing record of 1,616 yards, he couIdn't overshadow the dominance of South Carolina's George Togers, the Heishmang Trophy winner. Holmes Is Tops During the boxing year the reign of the Champ, Muhammed Ali, came to an end as he was embarassed by Larry Holmes. Holmes again proved that he was the top heavyweight in the world. But the biggest news in boxing in 1980 was the Leonard- Duran fights. The two middleweights had two fights. The first saw Duran win by a close decision, but in the second battle Sugar Ray pounded Duran into submission in the last rounds. No mans, were Duran's words as he gave up, giving Leonard the championship. U.S.-Stanley Cup The sport of hockey was also on the nation's mind. In pro hockey the Stanley Cup returned to the U.S. The New York Islanders defeated the Philadelphia Flyers to win the NHL championship. U.S. Hockey fans also saw that in 1980 Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid the U.S. spirit could overcome the Russians long dominance of Olympic hockey. The U.S. team defeated the favored Rus- sian team and went on to win the gold medal, the first ever gold for an American hockey team. Magic Rookie The major three sports again dominated the limelight. ln pro bas- ketball the L.A. Lakers defeated the Phil. 76'ers. The Lakers were led by Kareem Abdul labaar and Earvin Magic lohnson. Magic's enthusiasm renewed fans' excitement in NBA games. When lubbar was hurt in the fifth game of the championship se- ries, Magic was forced to start at center for the sixth game with a 3-2 advantage in the series. lohnson rose to the occasion scoring 42 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, and dealing out seven assists. This phenomanal game highlighted the series earning him the series MVP award in his rookie season. Super Teams In pro football the Oakland Raid- ers became the first wild-card team to win the Super Bowl. The Raiders stomped the Phil. Eagles to win the Super Bowl XV. But the biggest story of the year for local fans was the season of the K.C. Royals. They won the Western Division title for the third time in four years, but this year was different from their previous two division championships. The Royals finally defeated the N.Y. Yankees to win their first American League pen- nant. The Royals went on to the World Series but were defeated by the Phil. Phillies, four games to two. George Brett was the main contribu- tor in the Royals success in 1980. Brett batted for a league high aver- age of 390 with 24 home runs and 118 RBI's in 117 games. Overall the year 1980 was an exciting and com- petitive year. Local Events Heat Hits LHS With the intense heat of luly and August slipping its way into Septem- ber, school and its air conditioning was almost a welcome relief. Sum- mer outdoor activities swindled to little more than a refreshing dip in the local swimming pool. Chicken Ely But while most all activities suf- fered, the second annual Roosterville Chicken Fly proceeded as planned. Over 20,000 people turned out to watch the feathers fly on a swelter- ing Sunday back in September. AI- though many Liberty chickens com- peted for the first place trophy, none were lucky enough to win. However, Mark Matsel, '82, was elected mayor of Roosterville by having his name drawn from a hat. With his election came a 1974 Ford Galaxie. New Facilities While most of us Iounged around either in air conditioned homes or at swimming pools, construction crews worked diligently throughout the heat to complete new facilities both here at LHS and at William lewell. LHS's facilities included a new gym, weight room, storm shelter, cafeteria and kitchen area. The construction scheduled to be completed by the opening of school was delayed and finally completed in early October. The new area has been beneficial to gym classes as well as to all athletic teams. The completion of lewell's Mabee Center ended 20 months of construction. It is located on lewell's campus. lt covers two acres in size. There are racketball courts, three basketball courts, and an Olympic size swimming pool, indoor track, weight room, wrestling room, a physiology room, a rhythmic dance room, and classrooms. The Mabee Center is not only for the students of William lewell but for the com- munity as well. lewell Places 4th Nov. 3 -Elections Another activity bothered by the heat was William lewell football. The team participated in NAIA playoffs and advanced into the semi-finals by beating Baker University. lewell then lost to Winfield, winding up in fourth place in the nation. Before anyone knew, November had rolled around and the elections were upon us. At LHS election day was a day set aside by the adminis- tration to concentrate on politics. Be- fore elections Liberty had its share of visitors. Ronald Reagan, Rep. presi- dential candidate, visited Liberty in late October. Rosalyn Carter, wife of President limmy Carter, visited Liber- ty on Nov. 2 in a last-ditch effort to win votes for her husband. The effort failed though as Reagan de- feated Carter the next day. Liberty Expands During 1980 Liberty began growing even more. With the construction of the Liberty Triangle Shopping Area, which includes a Super Safeway Store, a Treasury Drugs, a gift shop, and the Big Cheese Pizza place. Godfather's Pizza also joined the competition located in Crossroads. Another chain, McDonald's also moved into the Liberty area. Not only were there restaurant expan- sions but home ,T-, expansions also. The new condo- minums located behind Westowne apartments better known as West- woods have beau- tiful landscapes and a small lake located at their backdoor. Besides the growth of these things, Liberty also grew in population. According to Census 1980, Liberty received a new total of 16,269, up from the 1970 figure of 13,679. PADS Shirts In no time at all, August rolled around and with it came the opening of school and the arrival of many new fads. Izod shirts, which made an appear- ance the spring before, became a common sight around LHS. Both girls and guys could be seen in short- sleeved polo shirts with that ever coveted alligator on the front. Colors ranged from bright green and red to subtle shades of pink and blue. While short- sleeved lzods were fine for the warm weather of summer, long- sleeved Oxfords proved to be more appropri- ate for winter. Pastel shades of blue, pink and yellow were the most common col- ors seen, along with the obvious white. As the weather continued to get colder, these Oxfords were topped with darker col- ored sweaters. These sweaters ranged from crew neck to v- neck, from shetland to ve- lour, and from monogrammed to plain. Seen all year long were con- cert shirts. They became, in themselves, a sort of sta- tus symbol. A person's musical taste as well as their evening activities were related through that shirt. Another common sight, in the cold of winter, were long underwear shirts. These were worn either under a shirt or by themselves. The layered effect was very popular, not only for comfort but also for warmth. Pants A popular complement for both long underwear shirts and concert t- shirts were army pants. Aside from providing a look that was unique, yet similar to that of college cam- pus', army pants are also extremely com- fortable. Overalls also gained popular- ity this year, sparked by the two dress-up days dedicated to wearing overalls. They are com- fortable, versatile and roomy as well as being easy to get into on those days when your alarm doesn't go off. They can be worn with almost any shirt, dressy or sloppy. For a dressier yet, comfortable ap- pearance, painters' pants were just the thing. A variety of colors, includ- ing denim and off-white, made them easy to match with almost anything. They could easily be paired with a shirt and long underwear for a casual look or with a blouse and sweater for a classier look. Shoes The finishing touch for any outfit involves shoes. Top siders can be worn with dress pants or nice jeans. Matched with a pair of nice socks, Topsiders can add a preppy look to an outfit. They are comfortable and can be considered either casual or dressy. Boots are another popular form of footwear at LHS. Cowboy boots and hiking boots were popular among both girls and guys. F a n c i e r , stitched leather cowboy boots in various shades of brown were seen quite of- ten among the girls at LHS. These stacked heal boots could dress up any outfit. Popular among the guys were plain leather, mid-calf boots. These boots had wooden soles and heels as well as a square toe. Also seen were the fancier pointed-toe boots. Either style looked nice with jeans or nice pants. L A more dura- ble touch were hiking boots. These provided warmth and dryness in snow and were very comfortable. Al- though they were not exact- ly appropriate for dress pants, they were popularly paired with jeans or overalls. Hair An extra something for casual out- fits were cowboy hats. These were spurred on by the movie Urban Cowboy. Their popularity increased at LHS when they were declared the official symbol for Spirit Club mem- bers. White hats were seen throughout the school at the beginning of the school year, but their popularity soon dwindled. Another classy look involved hair. Imagination was used this year in working with braids, ribbons and bows. Long hair could be French braided in back or along the sides. Ribbon could be worked into the braids for a more colorful look. Shorter hair could be pulled back and tied with a ribbon or bow. Music Fashion is not the only area in which new trends developed. Musi- cal Tastes changed across the coun- try. Urban Cowboy started a strong trend towards country music. From the movie came a two alubm sound- track that produced many hit singles, including Ann Murray's Can l , Have This . Dance? and i .Ji lohnny Lee's S Looking for f 1' 3 of Concerts gained NIJ if C tremendous popu- larity both in the Kansas City area and at LHS. This popularity wasn't just due to a sud- den ovenvvhelming interest in con- certs but was due to the higher quality of performers that visited K.C. Some of these people included Heart, lackson Browne, The Little River Band, Bob Seger, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Con Funk Shun, Switch, and Bruce Springsteen, among many others. FADS Heart and LRB Bob Seger Heart and The Little River Band were special concerts since both groups performed at Starlight The- atre. These concerts were planned to help benefit the failing theatre that suffered financially last year, partly due to the intense heat. The idea be- hind the perfor- mance of a rock band in the open-air theatre was to draw in the younger crowd, in hopes of increasing interest. The idea worked and both concerts sold out the 7,858 seat theatre. jackson Browne Many LHS students' concert season didn't open until the lackson Browne concert a few weeks later. For the several weeks between the opening of school and the day of the con- cert, talk centered around lackson Browne, since this concert was one of the first big diversions for stu- dents. Aside from the obvious rock and roll, there was an added touch to the concert. Since Browne is a strong supporter of the No Nukes pro- gram, messages were given through- out the night concerning this pro- gram. The fine print on the front of the t-shirts stated that proceeds went to No Nukes. Brochures were handed out as one entered the arena stating Browne's views concerning nuclear power. The most obvious display was the p slides showing nu- clear power anti- nuclear demon- strations used as a backdrop during one of Browne's songs. The next major concert announce- ment of the year was that of Bob Seger concert. Seger's popularity in K.C. was appearant by the speed in which his tickets sold out. Seger complied to the wishes of his fans by giving a second show and both concerts proved to be well worth the wait as his music pleased two capacity crowds. Daredevils A concert that was closer to home was that of the Ozark Mountain Daredevils at William lewell College. The Daredevils played as part of leweII's Homecoming activities. Similar to most concerts, this one was well attended. But unlike most concert crowds, this crowd was mel- low and quiet. Springsteen Said to be the biggest concert of 1981, Bruce the Boss Springsteen A swept into K.C. a jg week before Val- g K entine's Day and ,.t, g found love within A the hearts of the . a y capacity crowd. Springsteen's show varied between mellow and hard rock, between his old and his new music. At one point in the show, Springsteen started climbing over chairs and walking into the audience. Being ever-supportive, the crowd gently lifted Springsteen to their shoulders and passed him football-hero style among his fans. Captions from opening section.

Our theme was centered around Dan Fogelberg's song UA Part of the Plan. A teenager is faced with many problems ., and decisions during high school and all of these decisions will have an effect on his future. Our idea was that you as students should live as you want to and dream when you can because someday all of the pieces will fit together and K S your life will become a product of your past. The 1981 Spectator has been created to become an illustrative account of this year at LibertyrHigh School. New features in- cluded a successful one-dayimerchandising sale with an assembly and a slide show, a larger book, teacher features and a mini magazine. All of these were presented to enhance the value of 1 cc g this memory book. l would like to thartk Dr. Ferguson for his cooperation, the staff for their hardwork and understanding during conflicts and hard deadlines, and especially Mrs. McMenemy for her guidance, determiniation, and incerifive to produce the best book possible. We believe we have put together the best yearbook that Liberty High School has ever seen, we hope you think so too. Enjoy! f5wMalizWf Ewf1s.gli::.:MOl
