The year 1926 brought with it the first orchestra under the direction of Miss Wright. Less than ten years later, in 1935, the orchestra entered the Clay County and Little Six Music-Dramatic Festival. After 450 contestants and 26 events, Northtown ranked first in Little Six Conference, first in Clay County schools, and first among all those entered. In 1935 Northtown celebrated its tenth Owl Queen, Miss Margery Sissom. One of her most notable attendants was Miss Mildred Fulton, a Senior in that year. Seven years later, 1942, Marcella Duffey was crowned the first Homecom- ing Queen at Northtown, while Patricia Stock was crowned the Buzz Smile Queen. The 1940's included many plays that were put on for the student body. The junior class of 1944 presented, And Came the Spring. The comedy for 1946 was Don't Take My Penny. Strictly Formal, was the production for the juniors of 1948. , v I W 1 5 ,i A, 6 12 r,., 1' ,,.x.,A Wu. g.s, ', 'i'l fu' I pq' cur 1925-1975 V. ' h ',.,.4.

Miss Phyllis Fortune was crowned first Princess to Queen Annette Mason, for selling almost as many year- books. During the 60's A Cappella, a select group of talented singers, performed at many assemblies and went on tour to different schools. In 1960, under the direction of Mr. Norman Clouse, A Cappella performed at Open House, the Christmas Assembly, and a Spring Concert. Nine years later in 1969, they performed at a special clinic in Liberty. The year 1975 gave Northtown students their second opportunity to at- tend Prom off-campus. In 1974 Prom was held at the Continental Hotel. The site for this year's Prom was the Plaza Inn Continental Hotel. With the participation of students and scheduled programs, assemblies were good and plentiful. The variety ranged from a performance by Gerald Trimble and Company to a program on Child Abuse presented by the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department. Throughout the year students were constantly asked for suggestions by Mr. Blaine. Mr. Blaine, who is in charge of coordinating the activity period program, provided the student body with a great variety of assemblies. Due to the great reception by the student body some of the favorite assemblies may return next year.

North Kansas City's A cappella and Harmonaires were always on the move. Concerts and assemblies were major highlights for the school and several civic groups. Over 100 students participated in the many activities. A cappella, one of the main performing groups, grew increasingly active. After a successful fall concert, various Christmas concerts were given to nursing homes, hospitals, and an all-school assembly. After the Christmas holiday, A cappella was on the move once again by per- forming a spring festival concert conducted by Ed Lodjeski a popular music composer. Another spring concert and graduation finished out the year. The 30 voices, called the I-Iarmonaires, sang their way into the hearts of old folks, grade school children, junior high kids, and other organizations. Sometimes the Har- monaires even found time to perform at Northtown, they gave SIA's, sang at the Christmas Assembly, and held concerts. -'JUS me Q- I :L-I fr ,VK - - - M -K---1-'-'-A -------N --'A--:eras-: :J 3:1-:4:1:b:r4 41 g :Q 1 ,Q - -.1. - . . .. ...- ,..

The lead character, Oliver, was played by 12-year-old Bryan Walker and Deanna Crabb. The two-hour production presented April 16, 17, 18, and 19, in- cluded over 300 people in various song and dance routines. The orchestra, conducted by Mr. Pat White, supplied the musical background. Among the favorite songs in the musical score were, Food, Glorious Food, which was sung by Oliver and the workhouse boys. Pick a Pocket or Two was sung by Gerald Trimble who portrayed Fagin. Cindy Estep, portraying Nancy, sang As Long As He Needs Me. The musical revolves around the es- capades of Oliver, who goes from a boys' workhouse to a group of pickpockets who go under the command of Fagin. 1 Matt Matheney, portraying a mortician, stares gravely. 2 Widow Carney, alias Debbie Leonard, wistfully awaits romance, 3 Rehearsals bring with it 0hs and ahs , along with gasps of amusement. 4 Cindy Estep lets loose with song at rehearsal. 5 Mr. Pat White conducts the orchestra for Oliver. 6 Brian Walker assumes the role of Oliver Twist. 7 Anita Breshears takes time out at rehearsal for a break.

The Junior class sponsored this comedy written by British author, James Van Druten. The purpose of the Junior Class Play is to raise funds for the Junior - Senior Prom. Bell, Book, and Candle is a three- act comedy centered around witchcraft. Because the cast was small, a double cast was selected to give more people the op- portunity to participate. The leading lady, Gillian Holroyd, played by Brenda Heath and Peggy Moore, casts a spell on a publisher, Shepherd Henderson, portrayed by David Wood and Randy Swetnam. Dur- ing the course of the play, Gillian comes very close to losing Shepherd, but it all ends well with the couple planning to be married.

Students and faculty with interest in athletics found that the Hornets Recrea- tion Association provided a means for them to participate in an organized team sport. This could be done without devoting too much time to the activity. Flag football, tennis, bowling, basketball, softball, and volleyball were sports that were played in the intramural games. These games were organized and played by those who wanted to par- ticipate after school. Besides these sports, the club went on a bike hike, went horseback riding, and planned a canoe trip. H R A is a three-year-old club that was formed from Girls' Recreation Association. Not wanting to be an ex- clusive club, it decided to get more stu- dent involvement by expanding and changing its name. The club now promotes athletic competition between students and faculty. 1 Laura Balhuizen goes for another strike as Kevin Lindemen looks on. 2 Bob Aston looks back aher his pass was intercepted in an intramural flag football game. 3 Ojicers of HRA, Sandy Messer, Debbie Shea, Danna Cooper, Camille Wilson, Penny McCulloch, and Pam Wheeler, take time from their hectic schedules. 4 Bob Aston and Don Tarvin deliberate over the next play in flag football. 5 Mr. Alexander, sponsor of HRA, keeps score at an intramural bowling game. 6 Dale Myers beams with pride as he holds up his score sheet from intramural bowling. 7 Deceptive plays are considered on the field of Macken Park. 8 An intramural participant leaps for a pop fly, 4 of pirttiizgre if ., . ,, - VVI, 1 K is in ,,.. f...,,, .

As it has been in past years, the Prom was semi-formal. Even so, many people attended in formal gowns, rented tuxedos and rented cars. The dance, held on April 12, began at 8:00 p.m. and lasted until 11:00 p.m. A professional photographer was on hand to capture a few memories for those couples who wished to have their pictures taken. l Kathy Ryan, Steve Rich, Cindy Turnball, and her date rest between dances. 2 Kaye Zink, and Matt Arnold pause at the doorway before entering the dance. 3 Kathy Emmerson delights at the music ofthe dance. 4 Diane Gust, Melody Mott, and Fred Albertson en- joy the dancing music. 5 Glenda Peace and Don Withington hold close to the music. 6 Janet Hughes and friend enjoy each other's com- pany. 7 Mike Kahler and Regina Weiss think of aber Prom activities. 3 I 1 ,fy - , 4 Q 4 . 31 'xv Qig Q , 'ins :Ki Q, ,Q X1 ,L gxi rx X X' X ...w.,..

California Oranges Arizona Cactus We play Oak Park just for practice ' I Over the past 50 years there has been an increase in the number of clubs as well as in membership. In 1925 North Kansas City had a total of eight clubs. These were sorority-like organizations, allowing only the most popular persons in the school to join. The clubs' membership was limited to a small portion of the student body. Now, 50 years later, with 21 clubs, Northtown has become more democratic. Unlimited membership has abolished the old limits set forth by the sorority-type organization. Gone are the good old days of 1924 when the Shinny Club met to enable those who must exert their dor- mant athletic desires to do as the mot- to says, Shinny on your own side. The 13 Club met, of course, on the 13 of the month with 13 members whose dues were 13 cents a month. Its motto could not be anything else but, Lucky or Unluckyf' The social side of life was covered by Ye Olde Croakers and S.O.P. Club. The Croakers, all 18 of them, held par- ties, boxed, wrestled, and indulged in other indoor sports. They tried to model themselves after Poe this poetry?J. The S.O.P. Club's purpose was to promote social life, so several parties were given. N-Club, the oldest surviving club. had 16 members who had been awarded letters. Its purpose was to promote better athletics and cleaner athletics in every way.

'q C i .Lx Activities of the N-Club involved both athletics and community service projects. The club sponsored a basketball game between the North Kansas City Police and the faculty, with the proceeds going for the construction of the new trophy case by the fieldhouse. It also acted as host for visiting teams at football games. At Christmas time, the club sup- ported a needy family. The club members collected spare change from fellow students during lunch periods to help the family. Recreation was not overlooked by the club, however, as they attended a Kansas City King's basketball game, and a Royal's baseball game. Other activities were sponsoring movies during the activity period and selling hats decked in purple and gold. 1 As Lance Staves, John Green, and Fred Uhl listen with interest at an N-Club meeting, Doug Derry watches Pom Pon practt'ce. 2 Mitch Lawson anticipates next year's prospects as he reads a North Kansas City basketball program. 3 A typical N- Club meeting was full of action with the various jobs that the members wanted carried out. 4 This year's N-Club ojicers take a break pam the action and relax in the N-Club office.

Various successful money-making projects marked the Fellowship ot' Christian Athletes this year. The se- cond annual Pancake Day reaped large profits. For a mere dollar, one could eat all of the pancakes he wanted. Sixty-two cents out of every dollar went to the FCA. Selling programs at the Kansas City Kings' games bolstered the treasury with two-hundred dollars. With the arrival of spring, the club sold tickets to Worlds of Fun's FCA Night. The tickets sold for six dollars a piece. A good part of this money was used to send members to the summer conference in Estes Park, Colorado, for fellowship with FCA members from throughout the country. Aside from the finances, the club had many fellowship meetings, most of them at night. These were held at the members' homes. Eighteen people from the club attended the kick-off banquet. A slightly larger number attended the spring corr- fererice. A sunrise breakfast with Winnetonka included free eggs baron, sausage. and a program wil- if-if liiunev and Ray Hildebrand n L 1. A learning process was a good description of the National Forensic League this year. Members learned the skills of speech and debate and used these in tournament competition throughout Missouri to earn school, club, team, and individual honors. N F L hosted a highly regarded tour- nament, the twenty-fourth annual North Kansas City Speech and Debate Tourna- ment this year. Four members of the club were sent to the state competition, where they were extremely successful. Highlighting the club's activities was the Initiation and Awards Ceremony, at which drama awards, debate awards, and degrees were presented. This year Key Club proved to be quite active in fulfilling their objectives, being of service to both the school and the community. Their activities included sell- ing Kiwanis Pancake Day tickets, donating food to the Synergy House, for- ming an intramural bowling team, and selling Hornet pens. They also met with the Winnetonka Key Club to discuss con- structing a float for the bicentennial parade on September 20, 1975. Next year, Key Club will be open to girls for the first time in the history of Northtown. This year's officers, Ron Henley and Dennis Painter, president and vice-president, respectively, ran the club. l Providing leadership for a very productive NFL this year were Pam Miller, presia'ent,' Greg Conkling, vice-president,' and Debbie Leonard, secretary- treasurer, 2 Bob Whitaker checks his notes as Eddie Pelot and Greg Conkling listen earebilly to a debate in progress. 3 Key Club was represented at Northtown this year by the omeers.

Creative Writing Club existed in a more active state this year. The main ac- tivity of the club was assembling a booklet of short stories and poetry written by Northtown students. Students were encouraged to submit their work for possible publication. Each Tuesday, these works were evaluated by the club as either acceptable or unaccep- table. A bake sale was held in April, with part of the proceeds going for the cover of the book. The book, aptly titled, Thoughts in Black and White was published in May. The 41-page booklets sold for twenty-five cents. Following the trend of the recent years, Art Club continued to diminish this year. The only activity that the club did was posting an exhibition of artwork in Study Hall A during the musical. Lack of interest was very evident in Chess Club this year. The club had no definite roster, and anybody who wanted to play chess was welcomed to the meetings. The meetings were held two times every activity period block. The club never participated in any tour- naments, as they never could get five peo- ple together, the minimum required to be in a tournament. The main goals of the Health Careers Club were to help others and learn about occupations in the health field. These goals were accomplished by visiting children in area hospitals and giv- ing them favors. which consisted of can- dy. balloons. books, and games The club also visited the old folks in the Smithville Convalescent Center to bring a little sunshine into their lives.

The cost was 53, and it con- sisted of a turkey dinner and an evening of songs and skits. The club made S300 profit from the evening. One of their prime goals this year was the establishment of a larger scholarship fund. The Thespian Scholarship was renamed the jay Schmidt Memorial Fund, in honor of the Northtown student who drowned at the Lake of the Ozarks, May, 1974. This fund was started by Jay's parents, who contributed his college savings. Another new project which was started this year was the contribution of one drama book per year to the library in jay's name.

Before the show and during 1'nternti'x.sion, the Members learn from vocat1onaI clubs Q GQXQQ wi Helping interested students learn about teaching was a job that was un- deraken by Future Teachers of America this year. To achieve this, the learn by doing method was utilized. Club members were engaged in cadet teaching at Norclay Elementary School. They received no credit for this, as it was merely to acquaint them with the skills required to conduct a classroom. To show appreciation for the hard Work given by the North Kansas City faculty, the club stuffed the teachers mailboxes with goodies around Easter.

With a membership of twelve girls, Future Homemakers of America engaged in many worthwhile activities. A Halloween bake sale was held, earning five dollars which went in the treasury. Teachers found a cake in the teachers lounge around Christmas that was made by the club members during one of their activity period meetings. Still thinking of others, the club made Easter baskets, put candy in them, and took them to the North Kansas City Memorial Hospital to cheer up the patients. Defying Weight Watchers once more, the club made cup- cakes and put them in the teachers mail boxes in the office. The year closed out in grand fashion with a picnic for the members May 8th at Macken Park. Scott Henson and Mr. Dale Williams prepare for the great spaghetti race. Jo Anne Matthiesen helps support Tri-M by purchasing a spaghetti dinner.

The first club profits came in the fall. A car wash spectacular earned twenty- three dollars, even though the weather was bad. The baking skills of the club members were put to the test in january as they sold their wares to the tune of twenty-five dollars. Last but not least, Tri-M brought a bit of Italy to Northtown in the form of a spaghetti feast. Of the three hundred dollars grossed from the dinner, one hundred was set aside for the scholarship fund, awarded May 20th. Fun was not overlooked, however, as the members seemed to enjoy themselves on many occasions. For Halloween, the club went to a haunted house and then went to jeff Sunderland's house to clean his refrigerator out of food. Mr. Pat White was the next refrigerator raid vic- tim after the club went caroling for Christmas. An initiation picnic was held on May 2nd. The initiates had a rough time as they had to roll an egg with their nose and get a cherry out of a pile of flour without using their hands. The tables were turned, though, when the sixteen people that were initiated ganged up on this year's presi- dent and deposited eight pounds of flour on her. With twenty-six members. Y- Teens got off to a good start. Buzz Books, which contain students' names, phone numbers, and birth dates were published and sold for 51.50 each. Profits from the Buzz Books went toward the Sweetheart Dance which was sponsored by Y-Teens.

The club also had an Octoberfest with Winnetonka, and sold candy bars and tumblers. With the money raised throughout the year, the club had a Christmas party, an inter- national dinner, and a Mardi Gras type celebration. April 24th, German Club par- ticipated in the Language Night. The members presented a polka along with the Schnitzelbanke song to entertain the audience. This year the French Club reorganized under a new sponsor, Mrs. Linda Pate, with a much larger membership. They had a large turnout at the annual picnic at Macken Park and another at the election of officers. Shoppers enjoyed French Club's caroling on a crisp December evening at Antioch Center. This was followed by a pizza par- ty at the Pizza Hut. Later in the year, the club visited the language fair at Avila College to get ideas for their own proposed language fair. Language Night was not overlooked by the club as they performed a melodrama skit with accompaniment by Lynn McCoy. I Leadership for the German Club was provided by jour people this year.

It also stresses on the benefits of recycling goods. With a membership of 25 to 30 peo- ple, practically tripled over last year, the club is trying to expand their facilities to begin to collect cans, bottles, and even scrap metal. Food and festivities kicked off the year for the Spanish Club. The fun and games got everyone in the club together for the first time in the year. The Christmas party was next on the agenda. While they had fun during the Yuletide season, the club supported a very worthy cause. Gifts and food from the club helped a needy family have a happy holiday. On April 24th, the club participated in Language Night in the school auditorium. The club put on a skit, and Kathy Frogge dazzled the audience with a Spanish dance.

Q lv ' WL, ' if 6 3 an 6 E 'cb 'R Q f Overshadowing the turmoil and strife throughout the world, American Field Service continued the tradition of being one of Northtown's largest clubs. A welcoming picnic at Old Pike Country Club was bright despite cold and cloudy weather conditions. Club members sold holly in October that was delivered before Christmas. Approximately S1050 was made by the sales and was put toward the AFS exchange program. The club had a Halloween party for the members in late October. This was an es- pecially important occasion for the ex- change students, as Halloween is observed exclusively in the United States. On Thanksgiving evening the AFS club chartered a bus to take students to the Country Club Plaza lighting ceremonies for Christmas. As December arrived, the annual Fetch Can appeared in most rooms, with the money collected going for a telephone call home for each of the AFS exchange students. Planning for the variety show began in January. Preliminary ideas for skits and acts were accepted and a general theme was chosen. AFS Day was held at Northtown in February, and the AFS'ers were able to compare their lives in the United States with other students from foreign coun- tries. Vive Video hit the stage in March with rehearsals and final preparations. Much time and hard work was devoted by members and non-members alike to make the show the success that it was. The AFS cause gained S900 from the presentation. Living proof of the saying, All good things must come to an end, was evident at the farewell picnic held in April. Miss Kay Widebrook resigned her post as AFS sponsor to the capable hands of Mr. Gus Leimkuhler, who will lead the club next year. When Huynh Kim Hai left her home in Saigon, South Vietnam, she left amid war and strife. Her father was a map maker for the South Vietnamese govern- ment. She also left behind her mother, three sisters, and two brothers. In late July, she arrived to live with the family of Debbie Roschke. As the school year progressed, more and more of South Vietnam fell to the Viet Cong, until finally, in springtime, Saigon fell. After this incident, the AFS central office decided that it would be in the best interest of Hai not to send her back. A family in Leawood, Kansas, notified AFS that they would like to have Hai live with them, and that they would like to send her to college. Next year Hai will be attending the University of Missouri at Kansas City. The four Northtown AFS'ers, Giancarlo, Hai, An- dre, ana' Francois had the opportunity to talk to AFS exchange students during AFS Day at North Kansas City. Debbie Rosehke and her AFS sister Hai enjoy a quiet moment together. Hai sharpens her skill at the sewing machine as she makes clothes for hersej Giancarlo pauses a moment in the library to reflect on his days at Northtown.

His acts included the Peppermint Patties, with Elaine Nees, Brenda Hayden, and Laura Balhuizen. The next stop on the tour was Stuart Elliot and his rendition of the Ed Sullivan Show. Among his guests was Robert Busby dancing to The Last Blues Song. Closing the 1974-1975 AFS Variety Show was Wild, Wild Kingdom, with Gary Rist as the trainer of a gorilla, aptly played by Steve Beamer.

Requirements for the National Honor Society were such that a student had to participate in school activities and really be involved to become a member. In order to join, a student had to have an S average or above. Points were received for grade averages, activities, and teacher evaluations. An initiation ceremony was held on May 20 for new members.

Besides sponsoring the traditional Parent's Night and Court Warming, Pep Club added their own touch to Homecom- ing by having previous queens come back to reign over the celebration. Antique cars were used in the procession also. The rivalry between sophomores, juniors, and seniors for the spirit jug .remained the same. Originality prompted a new spirit creation during the time of the Oak Park student exchange. The club members sold spirit links during lunch periods to raise money for the class treasuries. Competition between classes to sell the most links exposed the rivalry to another angle. The lead changed hands between the classes during the competi- tion, but the seniors pulled through in the last minute.

This was achieved through the process of doing. Learning the rules of layout and copy oc- cupied the first few weeks of school. Soon the controversy of choosing a theme for the yearbook arose. After numerous suggestions and rejections, the .theme Fifty-year celebration, was chosen. Assigning tasks on the yearbook was another problem, as ten people cannot hold a conunon posidon. VVhen assignments were complete, production was on an individual basis with each sec- tion responsible for their part of the book. Time was taken out for a trip to hdarcehne, himsouri In hdarcehne, the staff toured Walsworth Publishing Com- pany. There the procedure for assembling a yearbook was observed.

Besides covering school events, the staff interviewed a sports personality, Wilf Paiement, had a press conference with Dr. Robert Howe, and featured editorials on the world in general. Aside from glamour, there were those every other Thursday nights, when the staff worked long hours at the Dispatch office getting the paper ready for press. The newspaper that was delivered every other Friday to all the classes cost S3260 to publish all year. A normal eight page, black and white issue cost two- hundred dollars to publish. For this reason, great care was taken in utilizing space. Rockwood Country Club came alive on May 16 when the Buzz banquet took place. The Journalist of the Year Award was presented, as was the one hundred dollar Judy Kretzschmer Scholarship. Q wth s Mi ill This year's Purgold assembly stimulated the celebration of a half cen- tury of traditions established from North Kansas City's beginnings in 1925. Under much controversy, an old tradition was broken and a new one was established when Northtown's first male Purgold candidate, Scott Henson, chose to run. Providing the entertainment for the assembly were Northtown's Har- monaires, who sang The Way We Were and Days of Wine and Roses. Members of the drama department, brought back old times with chants, football, club, and cyclist skits. The other four candidates in- cluded Evelyn Tournoy with her slogan Evelyn has a pure gold deal for you. Denise Howard coined the phrase Don't be a puppet on a string, buy from Denise. Selling under the slogan Buy merry memories from Sherry was Princess Sherry Leewright.

The losses could be attributed to both incon- sistency and a lack of experience. In their opening encounter with the Raytown South Cardinals, the Hornets showed nothing as they went down by the score of 24-O. The victory was no fluke as the Cardinals went on to the state play offs before losing. The Hornets played 43 minutes of fine football against the Blue Jays of Raytown. but the Jays only needed five minutes to pin a 21-14 loss on the varsity squad. The winning touchdown followed a disputed fumble on the twelve-yard line of the Hornets that Raytown recovered. North Kansas City clinched its first win of the season by defeating the Winnetonka Griffins 21-20 in a game marked by its frenzied state of excite- ment. The Hornets held a slim edge over the Griffins at the half, 14-12, the difference being two missed extra points by the Griffins. fcontinuedj l Offensive C o-ordinatar Coach Bill Durham, Head Coach Don Cobb, and Defensive Co-ordinator Max Payne serve as Northtown 's three varsity coaches for the l974 football season. 2 North Kansas City's Varsity Football Squad is, bot- toln row: Dave Raley, Steve Johnson, Mike Hounker, Mark Raines, Doug Derry, Curtis Haugen, Eddie Moore, and Gary Clemens.

Then misfortune struck. The Grif- fins scored after blocking a Hornet punt and recovering the ball in the end zone. A two-point conversion widened the score to 20-14 with 7:46 left in the game, Northtown refused to fold. Piercing together a spirited drive, Kyle Johanson took the ball in for the score. The efforts of the team and a fine night by junior Neal Spencer with 124 yards, finally paid off in points. Phil Rose added the extra point, his third for the night. North Kansas City then walked all over the Tigers of Lee's Summit in their conference opener, winning 21-6. The backfield contributed heavily to the lop- sided score. Halfback Eddie McWilliams exemplified the fine effort of the backfield with a touchdown run of 53 yards on his way to a 165-yard evening. Brent Harness showed good second and third effort as he bulldozed his way 39 yards for the second Hornet score. Fullback Cam Crouthers plowed over from the three-yard line to complete the Hornet scoring. The defense played excellent ball, holding the Tigers to six points. The win was a result of ex- cellent football. ycontinuedj 1 Brent Harness, Northtown fullback, cheeks to see that Gary Clemens l60l does his-job before bursting through the opened hole. 2 Northtown's Varsity Squad lcontinuedj: Bottom row: Frank Sombol, Phil Rose, Jef Ward, Larry House, Brent Harness, and .lim Pennetti.

VV - - H 2 The early morning rains foreshadowed the evenings events as the Hornets were unable to overcome the mud and a spirited Center team, dropping the game 24-13. The Hornets seemed to be defying the odds of maintaining a 13- 12 lead over the highly favored Yellow- jackets at the half, but the Jackets burst the Hornets' bubble by scoring two quick touchdowns in the third quarter to gain the winning margin. Hornet scores came on a short run by Kyle Johanson and a 45-yard punt return by Curtis Haugen. The Hornets bounced back in fine style to make Homecoming a success, defeating the Liberty Bluejays 14-0. Ed- die McWilliams provided the winning fac- tor, scoring from nine and ten yards out. The defense finished the job McWilliams started, holding the Jays scoreless. The victory sweetened the memory for all and, in particular, Homecoming Queen Ann Dickson. Exploding for six touchdowns, five in the first half, North Kansas City lamblasted the Ruskin Eagles 42-7. The Hornets were led offensively by Quarter- back Kyle Johanson who completed nine of fourteen passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns.

The defense allowed only one touch early in the first quarter. Then, in what Fullback Brent Harness called our best game of the year, the Hornets beat a highly regarded Park Hill team 28-0. The game was filled with stand-out performances. Cam Crouthers had 60 defensive points, the high for the year, but the entire defense was superb as illustrated by the shutout and the total of 377 defensive points. lcontinuedj 1 Kyle Johanson receives some las!-minute instruc- Iions from Coach Don Cobb. 2 Afer breaking Ihrough for ,Dru-down yardage, Kyle Joliansorz is pmnmelen' 10 rhe ground by an Oak Park lineman. 3 Curlis Haugen eseorm an Oakie lo the lurfafler a Completed pass as Doug Derry l22i anal .lay lilnmre H22 trail brhinrl Mitch I amson foolhall rnanaerrjor ilmz masons admirer the plaque he rcccnfi in re orniln 1 lim me help 4' .............. ............ .,... .................. 3 6 4 ' 4 .................................................. ..... 3 0 Crouthers .............. ........................................ 2 'Hi'1iffffffffi.fiff.IffffffIfffffIff.ffffQI...6 .............. ,.... .............................. 6 ' flfflf ..,............................................., 2 pf, Even though the defense didn't need much help, they got it. Eddie McWilliams picked up 141 yards, Kyle Johanson averaged over six yards a carry, but the real offensive show was put on by none other than Brent Harness. Harness gained an incredible 241 yards on only 13 carries, scored 3 touchdowns, one run of 50 yards and one of 78, and somehow found the time to catch a pass from Kyle Johanson. In all, the Hornets had 430 yards on the ground, and much of the credit must go to the offensive line. Phil Rose, Gary Clemens, Mike Hounker, and Marty Base manned the trench for Northtown. At this point in time, the Hornets sported a 5-3 record with two games remaining, one against William Chrisman and the other against arch rival, Oak Park. They had a good chance to win both these games and have the best record for a Northtown team since 1963 when the Hornets were 7-1-2 and were number one in Kansas City. Fate, however, did not look kindly on the Hornets. Against the Bears of William Chrisman, the Hornets could do no right, dropping the ball game 26-6.

The Bears took advantage immediately, getting the touchdown and the two-point conversion. The Hornets held their own for- only a brief period as the third quarter began, scoring in the person of Brent Harness from the five-yard line. From there on the Bears took over. They scored two more touchdowns and gained the winning margin. With all hopes of a conference cham- pionship dashed, North Kansas City had only pride to play for in their final game against the Oak Park Northmen. Going into the game, both teams had 5-4 records, and the game looked to be that close. The game was give and take most of the way, with Oak Park taking first, a touchdown late in the first period. The conversion attempt failed. After this, the Northtown defense stiffened, and the scored stood 6-0 in favor of the Oakies. Undaunted, the Hornets stormed back to knot the score at six a piece on a 21-yard romp by Quarterback Kyle Johanson. The third quarter was once again a battle of defenses, and both teams went without a score. The Northmen rallied in the fourth quarter to take a 12-6 lead, however, and things did not look good for the Hornets. Events took a turn for the worse, when, with four minutes left in the game, Northtown fumbled on their own 25-yard line. Unable to pass up this op- portunity, the Northmen went on to score their third touchdown and finished the season for the Hornets with a 18-6 loss. Although certainly this year was not a total success, neither was it a disaster. While many loyal Hornets hoped for more, looking at the situation realistically, the football team performed very close to their potential. Many of their games were won over much larger teams on hustle, spirit, and desire.

This year the Senior class, instead of the football team, chose the candidates. The seven candidates were then voted on by the entire student body. Before the Northtown-Liberty game, introductions of former Homecoming Queens from the past 50 years were made. At half-time, the candidates and the 1973-74 Varsity football players were driven around the football field in antique cars. The festivities were highlighted when the returning 1973 Homecoming Queen, Miss Leslie Brown, crowned Miss Ann Dickson as the 1974 queen. Queen Ann and her attendants reigned over the dance which followed Northtown's victory. The gym was decorated as an old-fashioned town square with music performed by Kaptain Krunch. 1 Miss Barb Carson 2 Miss Pam Sherer 3 Enjoying the music of Kaptain Krunch are Danny Waters, Peggy Moore and Joan Rutherford. 4 Escorted by David Raley, Pat Drake smiles radiantly at the Homecoming assembly. 5 Miss Cindy Hazel 6 Miss Glenda Peace 7 Miss Pat Drake 8 Miss Betty Carson 9 Homecoming Queen Ann Dickson 10 Evelyn Tournoy talks with Mitch Wheeler before another dance. 1 Brett Durington pursues an opposing player after a pass reception. 2 Lance Staves K4-41 and Wade Orr f72j lead the blocking for one of the team members on a sweep. 3 Sophomore Football team members are, bottom row: Jim House, Curtis Kleoppel, Brett Durington, Jef Wheel, Tim Hayield, Lance Staves, Bob Han- nah, Joe DeCap, Donny Nafvinger, Gary O'Dell.

Northtown was gifted with its fastest runners in the last three years, but conference competi- tion was extremely stiff. After a rather disappointing conference finish, the Hornets put on their best showing of the year, placing seventh out of sixteen teams at district competition. Next year's season looks promising. This year's J. V. team had a superb season, finishing third in conference. Dave Smith, senior, and Les Ryon, sophomore, ran the good competitive times 10:16 and 10:30, respectively. 1 Mike Martens moves to the passing lane as he pours on the pressure. 2 The 1974 Cross Country team members are, Bol- tom row: Derrick Rawdon, Doug Rawdon, John Baker, Gene Baker, and Joe Morris. Second row: Coach Gene McClain, Tim Smith, Greg Followell, Mark Duff Burt Shewmaker, and Steve Mc- Candless. Top row: Manager Steve Main, Mike Ackerson, Mike Martens, Les Ryon, Dave Smith, Dave Henneberg, Mickey Davidson, and Coach Leland 0'Dell. 3 Mike Ackerson takes one last glance before putting on the kick to the finish line. 4 Gene Baker, a highly regarded junior, leads the pack. 5 Final preparations are being made by John Baker, Joe Morris, Mike Martens, Dave Smith, Dave Henneberg, and Mike Ackerson before another day's work. ww' tic ns if V 7. l Z fy ff?

The mixed tennis team split this year to give the girls equal op- portunity in after-school athletics. Northtown was not the only school affected by the decision of the Supreme Court concerning girls' sports, and so Winnetonka and Oak Park had to field teams also. The girls finished the year with a 5-5 record and a third-place finish in the con- ference, a fine showing for a first-year team. In addition Deena Smith and Karen Johnson captured second place in the varsity conference tournament, and Kathy Brown blitzed her opponents to take the J. V. singles crown.

For a time it appeared the Hornet basket- ball team would go for an entire season and just win one basketball game. The team seemed to mesh as a unit, however, in the second half of the season and came through with a 12 to 21 record for the year. The team was plagued with many problems throughout the basketball season. They had very little experience to begin with. This initial problem was com- pounded by a lack of height. Several times the Hornets fielded a 6'2 pivot against men 4 and 5 inches taller. The Hornets began the season against their cross-town rival, Oak Park. They came up on the short end of a 71-60 score. Mike Hoffman was the high scorer for the Hornets with twenty-five points. Their next battle was with the powerful Raytown Bluejays. Northtown was once again outclassed by its more ex- perienced opponent, going down 87-43. Then came the Invitational Tourna- ment at Winnetonka. The Hornets started in fine fashion, dumping the Ex- celsior Springs Tigers 62-50. Their hopes for a championship were short-lived, however, as they fell 58-54 to Bishop- Hogan, and again 81-65 to the Winnetonka Griffins in a third place bat- tle. The Hornets got a shot at vengeance in the first game following the tourna- ment as they once again played the Grif- fins. They came out like gang-busters, taking a quick four-point lead, but Winnetonka regained their cool before the quarter ended and went on to win 76-53. fcontinuedjf . 1 f .

The Bears doubled Northtown's score in both the first and second quarters to take a 50-25 lead into the locker room. After the half, the Hornets played respec- tably but couldn't close the gap, losing 75-61. I The Park Hill Trojans were next in line on the list of Hornet opponents. The Hornet play in this game was atrocious as they shot only 25 per cent from the field. Even so, they were behind by a mere point with one minute left in the contest. At this point fouls and a determined Tro- jan offense went on to win. Following this poor outing, the Hornets needed a change in strategy, es- pecially since their next foe would be the number one team in the state, the Ray- South Cardinals. The change came as the roundballers came out playing a stall against the towering Cardinals. The strategy was successful for the first quarter when the score was 11-10 in favor of Ray South. The Hornets couldn't con- tain the hot hand of the Cardinals any longer, however, falling 54-37. fcontinuedj 1 Mike Hoffman shows what made him the best o0'ensive player for the Hornets. 2 The 1975 Varsity basketball team members, bottom row: Steve Ferguson, Phil Cunningham, Kevin Derry, and Steve Beamer.

Once again poor shooting, 23 percent, and poor rebounding allowed the jackets to rip past the Hornets. Now came time for the annual N. K. C. Invitational, celebrating its twenty- fifth birthday. The tourney boasted plen- ty of class with both the number one and number two in the state, Ray South, and Oak Park respectively. The silver an- niversary of the tournament held only near misses for the Hornets, however, as they fell in the opening round, 57-56, to the fourth seeded Shawnee Mission West Squad. They then proceeded to lose to Rockhurst 77-47, eliminating themselves from their own tournament. Oak Park went on to defeat Ray South in the finals. Hornet rebounding, or rather the lack of it, was once again the determining factor in their game against the Ruskin Eagles. The Hornets came out on the short end, 39-26 in rebounds and 72-67 in the score. Mike Hoffman led all scorers with 27 points. Next in line was the Tigers of Lee's Summit. Only this time the Hornets went a little out of line. As a matter of fact, they won their first game since December 9, 1974, by a score of 62-50. Phil Cun- ningham had game high of 24 points. Then playing completely out of character for the second game in a row, the Hornets plastered William Chrisman, gaining revenge for an earlier loss. The Hornets reverted to their play of old, handing the game to Oak Park, 73- 61. Oak Park slopped in six straight points to end the first quarter, and ice the game away for all purposes. Hoffman again led them with 25 points in the game. Proving once again that no matter how bleak things look, there is still hope. Northtown waltzed to 66-55 victory against Park Hill. Utilizing a scrappy defense in coordination with a normal, yet sub-par offense, the Hornets shut the Trojans up and down. February 18, at Northtown's Home court, the Hornets were stung by the Yellowjackets. The loss was mainly due to Northtown being forced in to 16 turn- overs and a rebound problem causing them to be drastically outboarded 30-35. Next, the Hornets were victorious over the Ruskin Eagles with a score of 60- 44 with only two turnovers during the en- tire game. High scorers for the Round- ballers were Phil Cunningham, Forrest Feurer, and Mike Hoffman. In the final eight minutes of the game N. K. C. doubled Ruskin's score for the second half. fcontinuedj 4.9 MW' I 4 l Mike Hojjinan looks for help from his Iearnrnales before the Cardinalx ofRay South close in, 2 The fine arl ofjwnpshooling is displayed by Forresl Feurer. 3 The Lee's Sammi!

Early in the season North Kansas City's wrestling squad zipped from mat to mat in the dual season with the same results - victory. The Hornets ran to 23 their undefeated streak in dualsg 10 of those victories coming this year. Northtown's first hapless opponents were the Bulldogs from Grandview, who fell 42-19. The Hornets recorded five pins in the winning effort. Doug Rawdon, Doug Derry, john Allanson, Tom O'Donnell and joe Eapmon were the five to record pins. Next in line was the powerful Car- dinals of Raytown South. N orthtown once again put 42 points on the board, but held the opponents to a mere 15 points. Ruskin was also unable to stop the Hornet rampage.

Six of our grapplers recorded pins in this stom- ping. On this same night N.K.C. wrestled twice. As it turned out, it wasn't the right place for any St. Joe team to be. Northtown put the clamps on another victory, a 47-12 thrashing of St. joe Cen- tral. Keeping themselves very uniform, the Hornets showed no flaws in their sixth victory of the year. It came in the form of a 33-15 victory over Parkhill. With only two pins recorded, N.K.C. showed they could rack up points without having to pin everything that walked on a mat. Neighboring Oak Park came knock- ing at N.K.C.'s doors with victory fan- tasies in their minds, only to be on the dis- appointing side of a 26-24 score. It was by far the Hornets' closest match, but no matter what the score, the main objective was once again accomplished. Bill Ruest and Doug Derry both pinned their op- ponents in less than 50 seconds of the first round. Anticipating the eventual conference showdown, fans came in bundles to see Northtown defeat Center 31-23. This was a very important win for the Hornets, with the Yellow Jackets being built up as the team to sting the Hornets. The undefeated Griffins of Winnetonka were next to hop on the Hornet assembly line. The Hornets showed up very reliable under pressure, winning 27-24. In the early goings the Hornets were behind 12-3, before begin- ning the breath-taking comeback. Excelsior Springs, defending a small state title, found out they couldn't win 'em all, losing to our Hornets 31-28. Gary Clemens, Doug Derry, and Cam fcontinuedj ,Z -1 112 Crouthers pinned their opponents in the early going to help ice another victory. With 10 victories behind them, the Hornets decided to make it 11, doing it in good fashion. Number 11 on the list was William Chrisman, the score being 32-19 in favor of the Hornets. Although not be- ing one of utter excitement, the match ended with desirable results. Sympathy was a word not used by the 1974-75 Northtown Wrestling team, as almost any team around could tell you. To no one's surprise, the Hornets chalked up number 12, that being marked as the second undefeated season in a row for N. K. C.

John Baker and Tom O'Donnell recorded pins in the final dual of the season. All this wasn't enough for the greedy Hornet wrestling squad, however, as they found it necessary to win both the Winnetonka and the North Kansas City Invitationals during their breaks from dual action. At this point everything was coming up roses for the Hornets. Then, just when it appeared the Hornet Wrestling squad had transcended their human capabilities to bring a machine-like quality to their wins, a malfunction appeared in the form of two major defeats. The Hornets dropped con- ference narrowly to the Center Yellow- jackets and proved themselves human as they were blown out of district by Oak Park and Winnetonka. Although these are only two losses, they were the most important events of the year, and good as the year was as a whole, these two losses will be remembered most. l Phil Rose listens for a heartbeat in an attempt to jind out if he's been too rough. 2 Northtown's Junior Athlete of the Year, Cam Crouthers applies the pressure to a Grandview grappler. 3 Bill Reust works to dislodge a wrestler from his shoulder. 4 Doug Derry undermines his opponenfs plans. 5 Bill Barbe, Northtown's 105 pounder, works a cradle 10 his advantage.

The three candidates for Miss In- vitational were asked their opinions on winning. Miss Joyce Chaney said, Win- ning is not always having the most points, but rather knowing that they have given as much of themselves as possible. Miss Barbara Carson felt, A winner is a per- son who sets his goals high, and whose willingness achieves his final goal to win.

They spent almost half of the 'year in first place before being dragged down from behind by Lee's Summit. The race went down to the wire, and, if Lee's Summit had not won their last game of the year, the Hornets would have wound up in a tie for first place. Northtown started the year by split- ting a non-conference double-header with Oak Park. Following that, they started to pull off some impressive wins. Before they could be beaten, they had Won 5 games in a row and were in first place in the con- ference, with a 4-0 record. They dropped back, however with consecutive losses to William Chrisman and Park Hill. Although they managed to stay in the running the rest of the year, they couldn't quite pull it out. The team received another disap- pointment at the state play-offs. They were defeated by Winnetonka 8-4. It appeared for a time that the Hornets had the game under wraps, but they couldn't stop the 'Tonka batters effectively in the late innings. In addition to taking second place in conference, the Hornets also had some outstanding individuals. jay Elmore, a pitcher, Billy Noah, an outfielder, and Dana Haynes, at third base, all made all- conference. Bud Stokes, Tim Jenks. and Cam Crouthers made honorable mention. 8 5, 1 1,11 ,rl TEAM BATTING STATISTICS 1975 AVG. have-mann-0 PLAYER RBI Danalflaynes , ll .391 'f Bfian Niemuth 6 .333 fjfcf ,Cm Crouchers 7 .289 , g Tamenks 5 .zss 1 , Q V fMitchWhee1er 3 .273 1 f f 4? fai1tyfNoah f I2 .250 2 5y,',4,UogQNiZgoson ' 4 .214 1 f if ,12mfg1vefwff-2 3 .204 1 lQQV'9f 1Q0VifflDQf!'y ,2', 0 .zoo I Qf,','1iISYeeiYSpexicer. 0 .200 E 'ggff f ff Iifgrilgkafties 5 .192 i fy , 'fig ,g,13an.Quw1angham 4 .182 'f , . f f . 0 .125 , 7' Fei f.fT 2f2f W . 2f22 v1f7ff 2 a .us 2 1 ,ff '1Qgf37eRhIgy fi! 3, .111 5 , rj 1 .ooo N f' 1 if Ji1f1C6P16l?r53'f 2 0 1 .000 1 l14i?!FiFiflSimmO!'!Sa,f 0 4000 I 'Zf5fQ!f33?5U'P?Ffi?0!' 77? 0' X 'ooo l 1 15?

After starting the season in perfect form defeating the Park Hill Trojans 5-0, the Hornets came up against two power houses in a row. They fell to both Oak Park and Winnetonka, winning a total of only two sets of the twenty-two that they played. Following these two disgraceful losses, the Netmen played see-saw ball, winning one then losing one and always remaining just one game under 500, till the Hornets pulled to an even 5-5 record after a 4-1 victory over the Ruskin Eagles. The Hornets finished the year by splitting matches with Grandview and Hickman Mills. The Hornets ripped Hickman Mills 4-1 and dropped a heart breaker to Grandview 2-3. Leaders for the Hornet varsity all year were Doug Fricke, Kyle Johanson, Andy Lundberg, and Dave Allen.

W on This year marks the first that N.K.C. sported an inter-scholastic program in girls' track. The team per- formed very well as a unit with outstan- ding performances coming from Stephanie Thompson and Shawn Corwin. Stephanie Thompson won the state championship in the 80-yard low hurdles with a time of 11.4. Stephanie has com- piled more points in one track season than any boy in North Kansas City's history with a total of 168 points. Stephanie Thompson is the first track girl in history to win a track scholarship. She was awarded paid tuition at Central Missouri State University as Warrensburg. Shawn Corwin placed second in the high jump at state with 5 feet 3 inches. The first annual North Kansas City - Oak Park - Winnetonka Triangular was won by Northtown with 63 points. Northtown's Junior Varsity also was vic- torious. In this meet Stephanie Thomp- son and Shawn Corwin led the Hornets with two first places apiece. The girls' team won the first Northland Classic. New school records have been set in the 440, highjump, 880-medley relay, 80-yard low hurdles, 100-yard dash, and the 220- yard dash. With the conclusion of girls' track comes the ending of a very successful year. The team had a three-way tie for first place in the district meet, and the Junior Varsity ended as conference cham- pions. The final record was a fine 5-3. f if ,jj ,Q if V x 8 if . ,I v..

' - A - - - 1' - American Government, INSAP, counselors, Philosophy, the darkroom, the Industrial Crafts building and the Purgold were old-hat to students of North Kansas City. But there were some former students who marvelled at all the new things that happened since their graduation. Fifty years ago, students did not have the wide variety of textbooks and references that Hornets had this year. Many had to take all lectures, notes, assignments drawings and tests down in the same book to be handed in at the end of the year Hardly any textbooks were used This occurred most frequently in science classes where books and equip ment were scarce The Hornets did not have bociology reading labs or Modern Novel classes They had only a few of the variations of the standard subjects such as science and English Instead of INSAP for punishment anything from dunce caps to dismissal were used The darkroom was where drafting was taught until the crafts building was built stitution of a dean for Northtown students Despite the changes during Northtowns golden years one thing remained unchanged The wide field of classes promoted learning and that was always uppermost in students minds 1 f 2 LLM.

Q 5 1925-1975 A 1944 Northtown graduate, Mr. Gus Leimkuhler, browses through old publications of the Owl, later to be changed to the Purgold. Mr. Leimkuhler remembers his days of high school when he was co- editor of the Owl and the Buzz, Stuco vice- president, and the recipient of the Premier P011 Award. Mr. Arthur Loepp, class of1968, and Mr. Robert Elliott, a 1946 alumnus, reminisce about their par- ticipation in sports during their years at Narthtown. These biology books demonstrate the changes in learning over the years. One is a student's own handwritten text while the others are textbooks from the 1940's, 1960's and l970's. Former queen attendants are still reigning over the student body, but now as teachers.

W Q The superintendent and his assistants grappled with inflation's im- pact on school finances and decreased enrollment in the North Kansas City School District. The expansion of the learning disabilities program and further improvement of the Center for Educational Development were signifi- cant projects for the school year. Faced with the declining population in areas, the Board voted to close Forest Hill Elementary School next year. It is the first closing since the district was formed. The Board also studied the for- mation of a special district for expanding special education and vocational educa- tion programs. At the beginning of the school year Mr. Robert Johanson and Dr. Charles Sackett were elected as new members. The April, 1975 election brought another new member and new of- ficers. Mr. Bob Raines was elected a new board member and Mrs. Francis Foerschler was re-elected. Mr. Roy Baker retired from the Board after serving 1016 years as a member, 4 as President. Mrs. Doris Benefiel was the first woman elected President. 1 Dr. R. B.

Howe, principal of North Kansas City, had the honor of be- ing president of the Missouri Associa- tion of Secondary School Principals. At Northtown, Dr. Howe had three main duties. They were to be in charge of all faculty and student activities, to provide the best teachers possible and to provide an environment for teachers to teach and students to learn. Dr. Howe cited the girls' sports program as one of the accomplishments this year. Mr. Walt Borgman had the duty of helping students with their money- making projects, such as the Tri-M bake sale. He also worked with scheduling and other activities. Mr. Francis Galbraith was in charge of student discipline. As one of those who backed INSAP, he was pleased with the smaller percentage of students sent or called to his office. Mr. Robert Blaine returned to Northtown from his year's sabbatical of working for his doctorate in education. His goals were to complete his doctorate work and graduate, to establish a good rapport with students and to improve the activities program. The Activity Period faced some problems that are still to be resolved. All the principals strived toward an educational atmosphere for a balance between educational learning, vocational learning and the activities program. 1 Mrs. Betty Wade: Office Secretary. 2 Dr. Howe carefully studies a budget proposal. 3 Dr. Robert C.

This year Mrs. Betty Wade joined Northtown's secretaries in taking care of many responsibilities, such as atten- dance, budgeting, census cards, counsel- ing appointments, dictation, registra- tion and scheduling. Without such care and devotion, Northtown certainly would have been lacking in its smooth organization and efficiency. 1 Mrs. Billie Chaney: Office secretary. 2 Mrs. Sally Dewey: Counseling secretary. 3 Mrs. Mary Lou Leimkuhler: Secretary to the Principal. 4 Mrs. Dewey, Mrs. Chaney and Mrs. Weber talk things over during lunch. 5 Mrs. Janeth Weber: Registrar. 6 Mrs. Virginia Webster: Attendance secretary.

To handle the variety of student problems, there were specially trained people at North Kansas City. For broken legs, sore throats or I've-got-a-history-test blues, students went to Mrs. Juanita Ness for medical' treatment and an admit back to class. Students having learning difficulties were aided by two patient teachers, Mrs. Bon- nie Hare and Mr. Jerome Crum. Mr. John Shank helped Hornets correct speech problems. Those four concerned men that almost every student came into contact with at some time during the year were gNorthtown's counselors. The counselors' main concerns were personal problem solving and educational problem solving. These men, all former teachers, ad- ministered tests throughout the year, guided students in the way of scholarships and tried to help students with their troubles. Although each student was assigned to one of the four counselors, all the counselors had open doors if a Hornet had a personal crisis. 1 Mr. Jerome Crum: Special Education. 2 Mrs. Bonnie Hare: Learning Disabilities. 3 Hoping that Dr. Welby will come to her rescue, Mrs. Ness searches through an endless file for a student's health record. 4 Mr. Brown goes over a student's academic record for scholarship eligibility. 5 Mr. Robert Briggs: Counselor. 6 Mrs. Juanita Ness: Nurse. 7 Mr. John Shank: Speech therapist. 8 Mr. Clark Ferguson: Counselor. 9 Only one of Mrs. Sally Dewey's many duties as counseling secretary is collecting class schedules from Northtown's Hornets.

Everything from putting in new light bulbs to patching holes in the walls where servicemen drilled searching for the February gas leak were their respon- sibilities. The monumentous task of feeding Northtown students was made easier for the cafeteria workers by the new lunch line and malt machine. Hampering them in February was the gas leak which cut off the dishwashers and many ovens, but the ladies pulled through. Retiring this year were Mrs. Flossie Yeager after 18W years and Mrs. Fern Baxter after 20 years.

Students were allowed to check out the new paintings of various styles from still life to modern for study and enjoyment. The paintings also gave the reading center a cheery warmth. Cassette projectors, sound strips, and video-cassettes increased the Audio- visual Department's informational resources, whereas new books increased the library's resources. Miss Mildred Fulton, drama teacher, and the Thespians Club donated a bookshelf in memory of Jay Schmidt, a Northtown student who drowned last year. A book will be added each year. Mrs. Martha Woolley was new to the library staff, alternating time between Northtown and Winnetonka. All in all, the library provided new horizons of interests for Hornets. 1 Mrs. Bernice Ashcraft: Audio-visual secretary. 2 Mr. Gus Leimkuhler: Librarian. 3 David Raley reads one of the library's oc- cupational books to determine his future plans. 4 Mrs. Elaine Neal: Audio-visual librarian. 5 Mrs. Margerie Neer: Library secretary. 6 Mrs. Martha Woolley: Library secretary. 7 Steve Johnson looks over reference material.

Miss Helen Nowosad and Mr. Gene McClain joined Northtown's Art Depart- ment this year in developing talent. Photography captured the world on film. In the photography display case, pictures of outdoor life, school scenes and projects, such as Northtown twins, rotated to be enjoyed by the school. Art classes worked in many medias, such as lettering, designing, inks and oils. Still life, figure and object drawings, landscapes, portraits and three- dimensional figures were the results. Students displayed large papier-mache people, string art block prints and oils around the school and at the fall music concert displayed their talents to all.

Music Appreciation, Fundamentals of Music, and Theory and Harmony had as their goal a greater awareness of the history, development and forms of music. Music Appreciation students earned credit for attending productions, such as Cosi Fan Tutti. Applied Music students learned to play instruments of their own choice. Band and Orchestra students presented many concerts with numbers, such as Sweet Georgia Brown, Rock Encounter and Rodeo A cappella and boys' and Girls' Choruses also participated in many con- certs with some of the favorite songs be- ing Beautiful City and Time is My Friend. From all the hard work, music students learned a deeper appreciation of music and so did the entire student body. 1 John Baker and Bob Heath go through their warm-ups before concert rehearsal begins. 2 Girls' Chorus harmonizes with Vincent, a Fall Concert number. Bottom row: Susan Luckhurst, Nancy Shroeder, Kim Chun, Cindy Bennett, and jane Bell.

Students learned how to plan meals, and cook foods such as spaghetti and ravioli, sew dresses, under- stand family relationships, and the techniques of interior decorating. Students discovered they could better prepare themselves for personal, family and social living in the future. 1 Ned Shortess and Mitch Nieman wash dishes after preparing a meal. 2 Mrs. Rosa Lee Dickensheets: Bachelor Living, Basic Clothing, Basic Foods.

Industnous students get to work Joining North Kansas City's In- dustrial Arts teachers this year was Mr. Steve May. Usually considered a boy's field, girls again made up a considerable percentage of those enrolled in the In- dustrial Arts classes. Hornets were taught the basics of each area, anywhere from crafts to engines, and then allowed to make their own projects. Many projects were of use to the home. Students were seen squeezing through the hallways with shelves, stools, frames, small cabinets, vases, small engines, and various batteries. The only mishap in the department occurred February 5, 1975. A small explo- sion, fueled by the accumulation of natural gas behind the east wall of the crafts room which was ignited by a faulty outlet's short circuit, caused the students in the building to be evacuated for a while. Fortunately, the damage was minimal and quickly repaired. Uninjured students soon got back to work. 1 Mr. David Cochran: Industrial Crafts. 2 Mr. Marvin T.

Reaching out beyond North Kansas City, Hornets learned about language struc- ture, countries and foods through classroom texts, language labs, and in- dividual research. All the foreign language classes par- ticipated in a language festival at Northtown on April 24,1975. French classes reached out even farther by entering state competition at the University of Missouri at Rolla. Their presentations were a melodrama, the song La Deserte, a Peanuts skit and the lively Can-Can routine. The French classes won first place and received a two- hundred dollar scholarship as their prize. Northtown's foreign language students certainly discovered treasure in a new world. 1 Mrs. Martha Hooshangian: Spanish I, II, III, IV, V. 2 Mrs. Kathy Gold: German I, II, III. 3 Practicing away on her cello for Northtown's language festival is Karen King. 4 Mrs. Lynda Pate: French I, II, III, IV. 5 The language lab provides music to language students' ears. ,.,, X, W ,.

North Kansas City's Co-operative Education students entered the working world to gain money and insight into their future careers. The four divisions of COE were Distributive Education, Office Education, Trades and Industry, and Orientation to Employment. The students, who must be seniors, attended three hours of school in the morning before leaving for work. Students were graded by their employers as well as their teacher for the three credits given. Employers, students, and teachers ended the year at the COE banquet. 1 Mrs. Ruth Klopfenstein: Work Experience. 2 Quiet is what Miss Shirley Steadman needs while she ponders which applications for COE she will accept. 3 Mr. Donald Robbins: Orientation to Employ- ment, Trades and Industry. 4 Miss Shirley Steadman: Business Law, Distributive Education. 5 Directories, guides, pamphlets and honors are all used for a COE student's education of the work- ing world. l5l - ,JL ' 1.

' ' North Kansas City's Driver Educa- tion classes taught students self-control which is necessary in controlling a car. Students worked in three areas: forty-five hours in class, ten hours with the simulators and three to four hours behind the wheel. Rules of the road and penalties for violations were taught along with a pro- ject students found beneficial- buying, insuring and maintaining a car for one year. Students realized the responsibility, care and control that would be needed in owning a car. 1 Mr. jerry Diehl: Driver Education, Physical Fitness. 2 Mr. Robert Elliot: Driver Education. 3 Mr. Leland O'Dell: Driver Education. 4 Mr. Warren Platt: Driver Education. 5 Sherrie Stockton finds the simulator improves her driving. 6 Student Driver is one of the important signs on the road. 7 Carla Forbes starts out for a road lesson. f 6 f 1 i -M, '44 Students learn self-control X North Kansas City's principals and concerned parents came up with the Inner School Suspension Adjustment Program as a solution to Northtown's suspension problem. INSAP's purpose was to punish the student for minor offenses, such as truancy, and to give the student a chance to talk over his problems with principals and counselors. Miss Sally Sterling, the co-ordinator, was given much credit for her work with and un- derstanding of the students' problems. Many came back to talk or to say hello. Its continuance unsure, INSAP was definitely a worthwhile effort of dedicated and concerned people. 1 Miss Sally Sterling: INSAP co-ordinator. 2 Classwork is completed in INSAP with a little help from Miss Sterling. 3 Helping with classwork is a good way to get to know a student. ,.s. , jig W lf? ,Q Aff, t L, . 137:11 ' rf J -fs, 2, 'fn 1 f 4 if 1 49435 , 7,2 fm, L , we ,f ,gvsff 54 With North Kansas City's extensive Social Studies Department, students delved into the past, the present and themselves. For those interested in history, there were many classes to choose from. Anthropology studied the origin and development of man in relation to his physical and social environments. Students wrote term papers on different religions and delivered class reports on subjects, such as Stonehenge and Cave Art. American History, Midwestern History, Medieval World History, and Ancient World History focused on par- ticular aspects of world history and watched films, on people such as Andrew Johnson, and wrote papers, such as Walt Disney: the man and his mission and The Kennedy Assassination. Geography students not only studied geography and its affect upon the world, but also specific topics like the effect of natural resources, climactic conditions and features of areas of the world. American Government dealt with the history, principles and develop- ment of our government. Students did several projects, such as an essay on democracy. Contemporary Issues, Modern World History, and Recent US History were concerned with issues and developments facing the world today. Students were encouraged to speak out on issues like the Vietnam War, prejudice and World War II. Minority Groups not only dealt with ethnic groups, but also the blind, bald, and deaf were used to il- lustrate the inherent situations faced by minorities. Humanities studied many aspects of man's cultural history through writing,' art and music. Students were ex- posed to all three and had to write papers on their concepts of each. Philosophy students were intrigued with this class. Hornets studied great philosophers and their affect upon the world then related this to their own lifestyles in addition to trying to form their own philosophies. Psychology was a senior course for those interested in theories, intelligence, personality and various'problems. Students wrote their autobiographies and tried to relate what they learned to themselves. Sociology focused on topics as norms, religion, education, cultural values and racial in- stitutions. Each student was encouraged to develop his or her own views on each. ' ,. 1 75 ' - 5.4 -,f,,f.m. , ,, .fain f- f ' X, - - . ' , f ,Q ia if -1 if - fiyv, 7 I i MM . 371 M . ..... .,.., .,,,. ,..,,.

North Kansas City's Language Arts Department offered varied classes con- cerned with the skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. Composition and Creative Writing classes learned the mechanics and skills of writing through assignments, discussions, and skits. Individualized Studies and Developmental Reading students worked on their own, improving writing skills, reading and comprehension, abilities. American Literature, English Literature, Modern Novel and Short Stories classes covered current and past literature, such as The Red Badge ot' Courage, The Maypole of Merry Mount, and Chicago, Folklore studied the past through legend and lore. The students also had a painting bee in which the room was painted and decorated. Mythology in- terested students in the ancient past while Science Fiction explored the future. Speech, Mass Media, Debate and Drama classes explored various forms of oral and written communications. The students took their presentations to tour- naments for awards and broadcasted radio programs during lunch in the cafeteria. 4 ' ff, .Au Nb Sf is . X -X N we Q X sf, N K -ss Asahi .

The class of 456 members added to this fund by collection of dues, sale of spirit chains, and the presentation of the Junior class play, Bell, Book, and Can- dle. The class financed the Junior-Senior Prom April 12. Held at Plaza Inn Inter- national, the dance was enjoyed by all who attended. I Junior class sponsors, Mrs. Judy Welch and Mr. Larry Munger, talk and joke before a meeting to decide this year's Prom theme. 2 The Junior Class Officers are Sergeant-at-Arms Lesl1'e Lee, Secretary-Treasurer Patti Estis, Vice President Steve Robertson, and President Mike Seymour.

' s X NKC X l94 The 1975 graduating class fulfilled all expectations of ac- complishment. Earlier successful fund raising years allowed a bountiful treasury balance which allowed them to limit their fund raising attempts to the Senior Class Play, The Happy Time, and the sale of Spirit Chains. These combined gave a total treasury of 362590. With all money problems out of the way the selection of the Senior gift was the only major deci- sion the Senior class had to make as a group. Many activities highlighted the close of the senior year. Most impor- tant of these were: Senior Night at Worlds of Fun, Baccalaureate, Senior week, and Graduation. Leading the Senior Class Ihis year were Presidenl Bren! Harness, slarling al ground level, Vice Presidenl Steve Johnson, Secretary-Treasurer Cindy Hazell, and Sergeant-at-Arms Tom O'Donnell at the lop. mlb i fr A' y i Tlifif 1,441 , , fl' ' K L: 'QL-0 , , 1 - if fr i f 4 gi? ar as Q tg if Milf '- V 8 is 'N t ., J' ,gf G 1 .

In 1917 our high school first appeared on the accredited list of Missouri High Schools. At this time there were twenty students enrolled and three teachers offering two years of high school work. Our school now consist of 1400 students, 48 teachers and 147 courses. We've come along way. Graduation Lament In about a week to the day we graduateg To this school we come no more. This our goal of the last twelve years, Is what we've been waiting for. The days were laced with fun and games Along with growing upg We developed a personality- We've had to measure up. Not only to tests and teachers- Had to make it with our peersg And now that the struggle is over, Some of us feel like shedding tears. We're going to miss our classmates And the teachers' constant calls We're going to miss the notes and such We passed along the halls. But with the diploma comes a sad Thought growing inside of me Our adolescent years are gone We must now face reality.
