XCUSGS. RUSKIN RA TES HIGH WITH NORTH CENTRAL This year, our school was visited by the North Central Evaluation team. Here on an invitational basis, thirty- one education professionals examined Ruskinls program, plant and performance. Previous to the visit of the team, teacher teams and personnel under the leadership of the administration, spent countless hours in evaluation meetings and in the duplication of summary materials. Mr. Leon Mallory spearheaded the steering committee for this time-consuming task. When it was all over, teachers students and visitors alike had been given a chance to take a fresh look at Ruskin High. The school realized it had much to be proud of: a conscien- tious hard working administration, a teaching staff ably prepared and concerned about their students and a program which continually tried to meet the needs of contemporary society. The students, too, have con- tributed their share of enthusiasm, interest and scholarship. Everyone at Ruskin looked forward to the improvements suggested by the N.C.A.E. team towards an ever relevant and solid quality education in our school. itThe MIRAGE is a pic- torial history of the 1972- 1973 school year. It reflects our total academic program of courses as well as our extra-curricular activities. I sincerely hope your days at Ruskin have been hap- py and profitable and the MIRAGE truly reflects you as a student of Ruskin. As you reflect on Ruskin, may you ever strive to uphold its ideals and traditions. - Blaine E. Steck Farewell to the seniors of seventy-three. May each one become what heishe hopes to be. - David S. Cattle Tom V. Foraker Superintendent of Consolidated School District No. 1 What a way to face up to Mondays . . . Enthusiasm helps lift subject matter to an inspirational level because enthusiasm is con- tagious. It draws students into your orbit and makes them want to join you and what you are doing. It makes school exciting, learning meaningful, and par- ticipation desired. Too often teachers hide their enthusiasm. Some teachers fear the students will not respond to it. Other teachers think it is corny. These rationalizations are based upon unfounded fears. Being enthusiastic about teaching, and showing it, is the real you. It is also the tiyou that the students want to see. When a teacher com- bines enthusiasm in teaching with the belief that a degree of success awaits all who try, the requirement for a good beginning has been found . . . - Tom Foraker ltaken from address to teachers of the district, August 25, 1972T W, KN id This is more fun than making mudpies! ART IS THE MOST TRULY HUMAN ACTIVITY The purpose of the Art classes at Ruskin is to enlarge the dimen- sions of the students world; to open new ways of seeing and think- ing; new ways for seIf-expression. With the initiation this year of specialized art classes - Color 8t Painting, Graphics 8t Commercial, Sculpture 8t Ceramics in place of consecutive general art courses, it is now possible for a student to accomplish more by concentrating his efforts in a specific area, with more time to develop his potential in that area . eCatherine Vesce Mike Ferman Douglas Taylor B.A. 8.8.

The: TEACHERS TALK ABOUT STUDENTS When I interviewed the teachers in the Business Education department, I found that they are almost speechless when put on the spot. However, since the teachers at Ruskin hate to let students down, they tried to oblige. My first victim was Mr. Bates of whom I asked it any business would have a chance of surviving if one of his students kept the records, to which he said, Possibly, if they had a partner with some brains. The question I tested Mr. Boone's imagination with was, How can so many people add the same numbers, yet I Cars we can fix, typewriters we can't. come up with such a variety of answers? His reply, Addition and subtraction gets harder as you get older. Upon cross-examining Mrs. Maupin with, Isn't it difficult sometimes to tell a student's shorthand lesson from a two year oId's writing? , she came out with, 4 IIQUITE OFTEN! Next, I asked Mrs. Mullins if she ever worried about her students trying to paint the walls while they are doing an assignment with carbon paper. Her response, + They are usually too busy painting their face, hands, and clothes to worry about the f walls. Mrs. Pearis told me that my question was kind of personal when I asked her how , personal her students got in personal typing. After cornering Mrs. Pozniak in room 217, I ' asked her if any of her students had ever gotten tangled up in a typewriter ribbon while trying to change it. She answered, No, but sometimes I'd like to tie their fingers to the . keys with it. The challenging question I threw at Mrs. Skinner was whether any of her ? students ever claimed to have been attacked by an electric typewriter. She claimed that an 43' H. electric typewriter was harmless, but a calculator once bit a student's finger. When I finally tracked down Mr. Wrisinger, I bombarded him with the question. Teaching aII-girl classes most of the day. . . doesn't that get monotonous? With a grin he replied, Girls? Theyire just protoplasm. Mr. Boone never helps me. , .-..

GOES SOUTH FOR THE WINTER On an interview assignment for the Mirage, i could tell immediately that Mr. Little was not as interested in my questions as I was in his answers. Fortunately, Mr. Crane and Mr. Ricono happened to walk by and offered their assistance. Mr. Ricono: ttln the distributive education department, we have four teachers: Mr. Willis, Mr. Crane, Mr. Little, and myself. Make sure you spell that right, R-l-C-O-N-O. Distributive Education is a class that teaches the student about such things as selling, dis- piay, and advertising. Mr. Crane: We have contests quite often which students enter, competing in different areas. In our classrooms, we have many trophies to show our success. We also elect officers on the local, district, state, regional, and national levels. The MIRAGE staff would like to thank Mr. Ricono for his continuing interest, involve- ment, and support of the yearbook. Donit you ever quit talking?! Mooney, Ellen, Dept. Head t , , .

These and many other courses offered opportunities for both individual enrich- ment and enjoyment. Now who says English is a drag? tE. Mooney - Department Headt Casper, Millie B.S.

In the 16 years I have been at Ruskin, I have watched our English Department make an almost unbelievable growth. There were not enough class rooms or arm chairs to ac- commodate all of us, so we often traveled with our classes from room to room, or had classes in one of the art rooms. Our library at the time was mostly one in name, but we were proud of our students' ability to make the most of the limited literary resources open to them. We also enjoyed the generosity of parents, community, and the Red Cross, which donated books, money and time to help our depart- ment. Since then, Ruskin's English department has doubled its staff and has broken away from the old idea of traditional English. We no longer require non-academic students to take all traditional English courses, but we offer. instead, many varieties of English classes. We hope in this way to make our English classes as enjoyable as well as instruc- tive. Then too, our library is now one of our most outstan- ding resources for research. It is the best library in the state. D. McCreary Pinch her and wake her up! Below: Don't put down MY candidate!

The kids are happier, and more involved in the school ac- tivities. It seems they enjoy their English classes more than before. I definitely like teaching these classes better than the conventional English. Miss Rose also joined the English department this year. What does she think about Ruskin? The students at Ruskin seem aware of world events; maybe because it's an election year. They also seem more mature. When I taught in Wichita, we had nine week courses. I taught liFladio and Television and Logical Thinking among other courses, which I really liked. In Kansas, the students rented the text books. Whenever I wanted to use a different book, I had lots of books to choose from, and a large number of the one book. I really like teaching Speech best, but they didnt have a speech opening. Ruskin gave me an option of four English classes, of which I chose two. Donlt MAKE me laugh! L2H5 luskin, :oI.

Finding out about a foreign language department is rather difficult when they speak only foreign languages. When talking to Mrs. Jan Fisher, head of the depart- ment, I discovered that she would only speak to me in French! You see, there is an unwritten law that when you are in her classroom, ONLY French is spoken. I asked her if she ever gets all of her students to speak only French. Her reply was rather puzzling. 'lLe frangais III et le frangais lV parlent en frangais la plupart de temps, mais les autres parlent en anglais trop beaucoup! In paraphrasing the translation, I decided that the answer was sometimes. The Foreign Language department was changed this year. German was introduced and Latin was eliminated. The German class was taught by Mrs. Boettcher. All these languages can provide Ruskin students with much varied background. lnot picturedy Mrs. Boettcher, BS German I LucHei4onon,Dept.Head BS.

That was just the beginning! Above: Y Mrs. Horton, Housing and Interiors instructor, hoped her class helped students who might later want to redecorate their homes. What was it like to come back after one quarter? Very confusing! Mrs. Deupree was the gourmet of the group. Delicious aromas from her Foods l and II classes filled the air throughout the school. For the adventurous chef, World Foods gave an opportunity to experiment and use skills of Foods classes. Students learned customs of foreign coun- tries and planned traditional meals complete with center- pieces, flags, and costumes. Creative Clothing classes were taught by Mrs. Wagner and Mrs. Steuart, who encouraged the girls to choose their favorite designs seen in stores or from various pattern catalogues available to them. Mrs. Steuart's Tailoring classes made coats for one of their projects. Another class in Mrs. Steuart's busy schedule was Child Care. Once a month, the girls brought pre-schoolers to class for ttobservation day. The children played games and had a lot of fun being with grown-up-kids .

There's the time you made 1000A, on that absolutely IMPOSSIBLE algebra test, and everyone was mad because you raised the curve. And, of course, you all remember the one of many times you simply forgot to do your homework and your lovable teacher was ab- sent. There were days when you worked those quadratic equations and 2 + 2 just HAD to equal 5. On rare occasions, your two page proof was right even though your teacher completed it in five steps. There are fond memories of math if you dig deep enough, overlooking the grade cards!

MUSIC BEGINS ON THE UPBEAT Having been a member of the music department for the duration of my three years at Ruskin, l have known the excitement and dedication that IS the music department. And I also know that its continued success, despite the irregular shifts over the last two years, must be credited to the talent and determination of its directors: Mr. William Hamble, vocal music director and department head; Mr. Jim Snodgrass, band director; and a new addition, Mr. Stephen Phalp, the orchestra director. Mr. Hamble, whose wit, as everyone knows, is exceeded only by his charming nature, offered these comments to my questions: MIRAGE: Mr. Hamble, just what exactly is a hard? MR. HAMBLE: itDo you want my definition or the dic- tionaryls? ltd say a nard is a dolt. Besides, its just a really good word.

The Physical Education department has changed somewhat from last years. This year there were classes going every day, instead of alternating the Change is now at semester. There was much more variety in this depart- ment because of activity periods. Our Mirage reporter thought you might like some variety in reporting too. To each of the three questions asked, each teacher interviewed gave us a very individual answer. Mirage: Do you think the activity period has increased in- terest in physical activities? Coach Dowell: No, but its a good outlet for competition. Ms. France: No, not for the sake of fitness, but for fun. Coach Partridge: Yes, more people now have time to use the equipment. They all agreed that the turnout had been very good. Mirage: If you could be anything in the world other than a PE. teacher, what would you be? Ms. Wiley: I would spend all my time raising horses with my husband and going on trail rides. Coach Harper: ltd probably be some sort of a salesman. Coach Dowell: I would do social work. Ms. France: The only other thing I would be is a housewife. Coach Quest: I used to be interested in being a lawyer. Coach Partridge: I was always interested in athletics. I wouldnlt really want a big position, just success in my work. All six teachers agreed that the greatest reward in teaching is working with young people, and watching them develop and succeed. As Ms. France said, iitheir success is my success. v-wquuHuu: . Do come in! William Allen B.S. Biology Lawrence Brown 8.8., M.A. Biology, Advanced Biology z'? . Mx SW. , . Why can't you kids be neat?

SCIENCE IS RUSKINiS liBELIEVE IT OR NOT Contemplating my tour of the Ruskin Science Depart- ment, I envisioned large, copper kettles of bubbling brew, ghastly, stuffed animals and dissected specimens smelling of formaldehyde. NOT TRUE! The teachers ARE human, and the classes are not academies for future mad scientists. I took a deep breath and entered one of these rooms. Mr. Allen, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Maupin teach biology. Mr. Brown also has a new course, ttAdvanced Biology. Mr. Clark, department head, is the lucky teacher of the newest science course, thertebrate Preparation. Once a part of some biology classes, it was changed to a separate course due to students mixed feelings about performing taxidermy. Mr. Maupin also teaches chemistry. During his twenty-two years experience, the one thing he will remember most about Ruskin is the close friendship he has enjoyed with all the teachers. ttUsually, he says, teachers associate only with the others of their own departments. But here, everyone gets along! If you ever get lost and cant find your science class, just follow your nose! Now, where did I leave my purse?

I walked down the hall mul- ling over this perplexing problem. Still puzzled, I passed room 128 and saw Mr. Reynolds, better known to us as IISkinny Reynny , standing on top of his desk. Recovering my com- posure, I walked into room 115 and encountered Mr. 00er and Mr. Boothe, Ruskinis answer to the Odd Couple. When I ventured to ask how they survived being in such close quarters, Mr. Boothe promptly answered that it was simpIe-they were both nuts. At my next stop I found Mr. Wild disconsolate. He still hadnit recovered from losing the Sexy Legs title to Mr. Coyle. Armed with all this information I sat down and decided that an American History teacher was made up of knowledge, a fantastic sense of humor, school spirit, and pure un- adulterated craziness!

Over the morning an- nouncements, we were asked to think of brilliant new courses that we would be in- terested in taking. A few suggestions trickled in, and a committee led by Mr. Wing charged on to change. The hassel of matching these new courses to texts and teachers began. Courses had to be correlated with similar ones at Hickman. Yet each problem was overcome, and next year our Social Studies department promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Rooms were plastered with bumper stickers, posters, pictures, and pins. Impartiality reigned as Nixon and McGovern glared down on us from their places on the wall. The American Party was not forgotten, as two speakers proceeded to provoke in- numerable questions and arguments. The Social Studies department brought the 1972 campaign to Ruskin and made it part of our lives. It won't come out!

Mrs. Wille: A few years ago, Mr. Beers' class needed to raise some money to help buy some new equipment; so they decided to sell doughnuts and milk before school. I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved in the selling, but eventually my class joined. Now his class works one week and my class works the next. Mirage: Why were you skeptical about getting involved? Mrs. Wille: It takes a lot of bookkeeping for an enterprise such as this, and I wasnt sure if it was worth the effort. Also, I was worried about the students' behavior in the cafeteria. l was pleasently surprised, however, not only by their behavior, but also by their cleanliness. In the morning, the students dispose of their trash better than they do during lunch. Mirage: HWhat were some of the problems you encountered? Mrs. Wille: HOne of the main complications we have is time. In order to sell doughnuts before school, we must be here very early to get everything set up and ready to go. Another problem came with the milk. We used to sell milk with the doughnuts, but we had no blame to keep it. Then we started selling coffee. ihe kids seemed to like it as well as the milk. Now we sell orange juice as well as coffee. I timiht we will ever go back to milk. w Q a 1 - .t a Are you sure that's coffee?

Mrs. Briggs is that person with SPIRIT! So, to get the word straight, your roving Mirage story seeker went straight to the source of spirit . . MRS. BRIGGS. MIRAGE: Youlve been at Ruskin for many years, why do you stay? MRS. BRIGGS: I'd have to say faculty! They're a fine faculty with a sense of humor and great ability, also, there are students who care and who really help! M: Is the rumor true that you want Miss Searcyls cat as a powder-puff? MB: NO!! I'd use it as a rug in front of my fireplace, though! M: If you could say one word and it would be broadcasted all over the world, what would it be? You shouldn't talk at an assembly! MB: CAREH After leaving Mrs. Briggs, we moved up the hall to a little man with a very important job . MR. PERRIN! I managed to rope him into answering a few questions . MIRAGE: Is it true that your wife does cheers at the breakfast table? MR. PERRIN: NO, however, she does stand and cheer when I clean house, and thatls the truth! M: What is your favorite food? MP: ANYTHING GOOD AND FATTENINGH These two teachers are always in- volved and it is true that the speech and drama departments are two of the best departments at Ruskin. They have a special quality. They CARE. And that is why they are the STARSH Mrs. Joyce Briggs B.A. Dramatics, I,ll,lll Mr. Allen Perrin BS. Speech, Debate, 8t Drama And this is the making of a star? OH NO!!

Counselor Mrs. Marjorie Langford Mr. Charles Hoskins B.S., MS. 8.8., Ms. Counselor Counselor THE DOCTOR IS IN. Ten or twenty years from now when you are looking through this book and reflect back on your years at Ruskin High, think of me and how I tried to explain the job of a counselor. This is my third attempt at writing my copy for this yearbook. The first time I wrote about the unusual things the counselors do, things such as Mr. Nicholson always asking what hour it is, Mr. Hoskins talking about his farm, the way Mrs. Langford is always running around from one end of the building to the other, how quiet Mrs. Booth is, and the way Mr. Parkhurst mosies down the hall. These are the things they do besides counsel people. But that story didnt get the approval of the adviser. Next, I tried writing a limerick about the counseloris jobs. I said in my rhymes that a counselor's task was to help make things a little less sloppy. But writing a poem wasnt as easy as I thought it would be. So that bombed out too. If you havent found out by now that their job is to help you with your educational, vocational, and per- sonal problems, then youill just have to keep on guessing about the guidance department because Iim out of space.

This was the first year since 1969 that the library served all three classes as one united student body. 1 l Not only as a Mirage reporter, but as a library helper, l have found working with S the staff very educational and interesting, not to mention fun! Miss Travis, head x t; librarian, was very helpful. Mirage: How do things differ now that the horrible split sessions are over? Miss Travis: I think the students show a lot more active interest in the library, but then, we have more to offer this year. M: Like what? Whats new? M.T.: Our newest project is experimenting with closed circuit television. i think these will be of great value to both teachers and students. M: Does anyone show up for the special evening library hours or during the ac- tivity periods? M.T.: Very few use it in the evenings, but we have had an average of about 40- 45 in the library during activity periods. Dear Santa Claus . . . If I've told you once, I've told you twice . . .

I asked them some rather personal questions so everyone could get to know them a little better. The question I gave Mrs. Flippin to ponder in her mind was, tIWhat is your reaction when so many students come in tardy in the mornings?'i Her reply, I like them as long as they bring me donuts and cookies; but they are never excused. Because Mrs. Gfeller seems so busy most of the time, I had her rummage through her thoughts and tell me what time of the year is the most hectic for her. Getting school started is the busiest time for me. I feel that if we get through the first quarter we have it made , was her reply. After I found out that Mrs. Prouty takes care of the money at Ruskin; I cross-examined her with the question, Do you like the job of counting all those beautiful bills and coins? Was I surprised when she said, Oh, it is just another of a long list ofjobs. Mrs. Prouty is not pictured. My interview would not be complete without a comment from an office helper. I asked one of the girls why she liked working in the office and she said, I like reading all the nutty excuses students give for being late. S T STUDENTS TO THE NURSE? K s picture. Bruce R. Buie, MD. I hope it's still ticking. rather It seems to me that the nurse's office is the busiest room at Ruskin. I was i- The amazed at how many students visit the nurse for an aspirin, nap, safety pin, ice action ., 'i pack, or bandaid. The question I shot Mrs. Wright with was, How many :then: students come in to see you during the day? Her reply, iiAbout 50, except on ised. Monday's and then I take care of about 85. When Mrs. Wright told me she was image happy that students had a place to go when they are sick or hurt, I knew she t'C for was everyone's friend. Ie get Jt that Another part-time resident of the nurse's office is Bruce R. Buie, M.D. He gives th the all the athletes their physicals and he is the team doctor for the football squad.

I visited the kitchen during the so- called slowest part of the day, and if thatts slow. ltd sure hate to be caught in the noon hour rush! What a transformation from the kitchen that had been left deserted to collect dust for two years of split shifts! This year's cafeteria workers toiled to provide two new lunch choices. Along with the regular menu, a salad plate and a ham- burger or chili plate were offered. And if a student couldnlt decide which one he wanted - he could buy all three! I could never understand how these women were able to prepare a nutritious meal that filled at least ONE THOUSAND plates when meals I prepare - well, a cockroach would die of malnutrition! Mrs. Patton, the head manager, told me that what it takes is years of experience, but, most of all, each worker has to care! Thatls what their special ingredient was this year!

Oh, of course we realize how much we need them when a gallon of paint is tipped over in the hall, or when a foreign object is hurled through a nearby window. But what about the everyday routine work? What would happen if the dust was allowed to ac- cumulate for a month, or the cafeteria left un- touched for only a couple of days? Fortunately our custodians-Junior Hart, Burt Brandon, Charles Feezell, Robbie Riggs, Maurice Snow, and Jeff Gunner-worked faithfully at their jobs and we didnlt have to trudge through mammoth dust piles and mounds of milk cartons. But, still another year ltsweeps by and we still haven't realized the full importance of our custodians.

Yester- day meant an end to term papers and tests. Yet mixed with the elation came the sadness of parting with the familiar. Yesterday we did everything for the last time. We cleaned out lockers, bid goodbye to teachers, and friends, I'll call you, I'll see you soon, knowing we'd probably never see them again. Walking out of Ruskin, we knew all we had left were memories. We have dried-up corsages from the dances, ticket stubs from the football games, programs from the Christmas concerts. well remember how long we waited for Senior Care Day and how most of us slept through it. well laugh at how the news media gave the glory of our Senior Blood Donor Day to Hickman, and consequently Wendell Anschutz gave a pint of Peek-a-boo MEMORIES CONTINUED blood to pacify indignant Ruskin students. Weill remember a best teacher, a good friend, an old love affair. ' We won't forget the hardships. Before our sophomore year, a bond levy failed eight times. School finally started - a month late on split shifts. And the nightmare worsened. We became'the only class to have attended both the morning and afternoon sessions. As juniors, some of us got up as early as 4:30 am. to be at school by 6:00. We'll remember how hard it was to Study, how seldom we saw our families. Our senior year, Hickman Mills High School opened and relieved the crowding at Ruskin. We'll remember how we took over the clubs and student council of- ficer positions, being back on regular hours, the ex- perimental modular scheduiing, and all the new Specialized courses. We've gone through a lot together. But the past is now just a fleetingiglimpse of glory or regret, as we cross this stage tonight. .-Terri Grider Mr. Tucker presents Neva Tebow with her diploma. ; Kw We'il d love - our times. shifts. uth the me of col by i hOW . i i j e ' V , . f I Qwv rvl ? .ened 'I y 'l1bm mber oil of- 9 ex- : new ' I I . s! gm ' i A f I 4 23': - ., z... - 1 ,,, W V . We ARE the class of '73. rider Our three years at Ruskin have not only taught us the three R's - Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic, but also the ability to get along with people. The faculty of ipioma. i Ruskin taught us the need and responsibility for working with people. Our faculty has been on a personal basis where the teachers were friends and not just instruc- tors. They have brought us from adolescence to maturity by giving us oppor- tunities to solve our own problems. We are now better prepared for our own futures. The uniqueness of our class was evident in our giving blood to the comunity blood bank, a first in the history of the state, and perhaps the nation. Finally, a gift of $900 was presented to the Haskel Indian institute, another sign of our caring for people. I would like to leave you with an old Indian saying: We are today. You were yesterday, Let us join to build tomorrow. -Ben Kurdi Ha, ha. You're only a junior! This is what we waited for? BUILDING OUR FUTURE MEANS MAKING DECISIONS Lord, we thank you for the blessings of the past which made our graduation possible. Especially do we thank you for our teachers, parents, and our friends. Forgive us for not taking advantage of all the opportunities offered us. Help us to use our improved abilities and talents for the betterment of mankind. Grant that we may have the strength to survive the problems that befall us, the wisdom to learn from others, the humility to realize our inex- perience, the capacity to love our fellow man, the gift of finding joy in all that we do and see, and the ability to give others more than they give us. Amen. Carol Holle, Valedictorian Ten-to-one, l faint before you do. Tomorrow. . . There are few periods of an individualis life that are as truly a period of transition as is graduation. We break old ties and make new ones. We move from a period of dependency to one of increasing seIf-reliance, but clearly the emphasis of Commencement is on the future. Traditionally, the transition made by graduates has been spelled out for them: marriage, family, and a job. The future is no longer so certain because the world is changing rapidly. The time in which we live has simultaneously been called the Space Age, the Age of Computers, the Nuclear Age, the Age of Mass Media, The Age of Automation, Miracle Medicine, Leisure and the Age of Urbanization. Each of these, in its own right, marks a significant change in the human life. And the changes can be expected to come faster and in greater numbers in the future. Let your imagination dream of the world of tomorrow, and the future will outdo you. Consider such trouble spots as over-population, pollution and poverty. The United States must adjust to an ad- ditional 100 million people over the next thirty years. In facing pollution, the choices are difficult. For some peo- ple, a clean environment will mean losing their jobs; for all, it will mean a loss of comfort and convenience. We must realize too, that the War on Poverty is being lost, and los- ing this war, is where America's honor is being forsaken. So, are we prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow? Can we adjust to the changes that will occur so rapidly? The true test of our high school education is this - have we been taught to learn how to learn? For while our formal education may be ending, learning must not.

The Baccalaureate guest speakers Lord, Help us to find the wisdom to replace war with peace, fear with understanding, and inequality with justice. Open our hearts to the needs of our brothers and make our hands ready to alleviate their pain. Open our eyes so we can see the world as others see it. Let us never forget how beautiful this world is, but let this not blind us to the suffering. Help us always to keep caring and reaching out. With your love and strength within us, we can build a world where all men truly are brothers. Amen Jennifer Drake, Salutatorian RHS ALUMNI REALLY Goes PLACES In recent years, Ruskin has been plagued by. napathyh, formerly knqwnas a lack of school spirit and school pride. We feel that part of the problem is that the student body is unaware of the achievements of many of its graduates. Whether they have achieved success as businessmen, scholars. or housewives, Ruskin graduates are something which we can point to with pride. The next two pages are devoted to past graduates and their accomplishments. We regret that It was very difficult toiocate Ruskin grads, and that because of limited . space. we were unable to mention Mare of them and 'their many ac- $0mpiitshments.

WE REFLECT THEE IN ,73 We Survive Every Crisis was our motto this year, and we DID have our share of crises. A strike at the publishers caused the 1971-72 yearbooks to be delivered late, so we had the job of distributing them and not being able to get a headstart on our own sales! How were we going to dis- trlbute them to last year's seniors and to the juniors over at Hickman? Then there were the days when Miss Mooney greeted us with the words, Well class I have some good news and some bad news. First, the good news. It always seemed rather strange to me that the bad news was always twice as long as the good news. After we had listened and doom had descended upon the class, Ted would get up and walk out of the room saying, I'm going to go to the darkroom and throw-Up. Invariably, John Washburn would contribute some kind of criminal solu- tion to our problem. Other people reacted in different ways. Lois simply dropped everything out the window. while Cathy would plead and PLEAD with us to get our copy in. And so our book came to be.

THE GREAT YEARBOOK VISITS RUSKIN On Halloween, we held our second annual assembly to kick off our sales. Since the beginning of school, we had been writing skits. Then we practiced, practiced, and practiced. Sometimes when I have a few spare moments I think about our assembly. Visions of Mike Riggins flitting across the stage in his little pink tutu, Ted trundling down the floor in his bathtub and John tak- ing a swig out of his jug, keep flashing across my mind. My favorite memory is T.P.-ing the teachers. Covering teachers with toilet paper was unbelieveably therapeutic. Now the stage is empty, waiting patiently for our third annual yearbook assembly.

HI-LIGHTERS ARE SUPERSTARS I had heard rumors of what really happened iibehind the scenes before the Ruskin Hi-Light was produced and delivered to the student body. To think I had been so naive! I always had imagined a cool, systematic assembly- Iine type of production. Surely there were no hurry-up periods of hysterics before the deadline, no make-up sessions. But, alas, I heard that the newspaper had problems comparable to the yearbook. Imagine the scene, a normal journalism make-up session. Toiling deep into the night Isometimes into the early mor- ningi are thirteen faithful staff members. There is Craig Atkins, leaning back in his chair, desperately cracking grim Gimcracks. Bent over her work, is Terri Grider, ready to change the name of her article to Whatis NOT Going' On In Ruskinis Clubs. And don't forget the in- describable agonies of the editor poor Harley . . at least he lived through it! We , I suppose these rumors were a bit exaggerated.

Moving triangles? A busy ant colony? No! It was the Ruskin Golden Eagle Marching Band 1iwith a little help from our friends? the Hickman Mills Cougar Band. That event climaxed the end of three months of determination and hard practice. Many early morning rehearsals and late ones under the lights, hunting for shoes in the foot- deep mud, or trying to keep from gulping a mouthful of dust, were a few of the hazards encountered as we put our show together. Other highlights of our marching season were the Kansas University Band Day Parade and the Central Missouri State Homecoming Parade. Our Senior R at the last football game sank in the mud, along with all the Seniors. But rumor had it that the last show was the most enter- taining and hilarious yet. Winter brought the more serious side of band perfor- mances with many concerts, such as the Winter Concert and the Smith-Hale Pageant of Bands. Professional help was administered at the Emporia Band Clinic February 24 and by Dr. Russell Casey here at Ruskin. Ruskin hosted the first annual Northwestern Missouri Honor Band on March 17. Seven area schools sent ten of their finest performers for this event, also a first for Missouri. Dr. Casey, theory professor at Arkansas Tech., directed a fine performance, even though the band had only two days to perfect their presentation. For the first time last year, we had an official, genuine pep band for home basketball games. Statistics showed that as long as the band was playing, the Eagles led the game. But when we stopped, the game seemed to end - for the Eagles, that is . The Music District Contest again was held on the campus of Central Missouri State University. To prepare soloists and ensembles for playing before a judge, two contest recitals were held March 30 and April 3, with Mr. Snodgrass writing criticisms for those who requested them. Finally, the big day, April 7 came. The Golden Eagle Band received an overall 1 rating. Also, eight soloists and five ensembles received 1 ratings enabling them to enter the State Contest in Columbia on April 28.

UNITY IS OUR GOAL Do you know what its like to sit in class for an hour hav- ing your teacher tell you over and over to think as one ? When I heard this, I thought that some poor teacher had flipped until I was enlightened to the fact that the class was orchestra and the teacher WAS sane. In that class, unity is very necessary because the orchestra is a bit like your body. It must work together or it doesn't work at aII. Can you imagine one foot going one way and the other foot the other way? This is nearly as bad as having a full scale musical war. Then I understood the importance of unity and I decid- ed Mr. Phalp was doing a great job with the orchestra. Some instruments take a lot of wind.

Not really knowing what a NARD was, I thought perhaps the answer to this mysterious question was hidden amongst the music folders, racks, piano and notes in the music room. Slowly I opened the door, and as I stuck my head in, I was confronted by an enormous tree bearing the words, Official Nard Tree. Mr. Hamble saved me by asking me to come in. A nard is a person who does the right thing at the wrong time, is lovable and equally funny. There was my answer! I guess Gold Choir people are lovable, funny, and talented. This year Choir held down a strenuous schedule. In addition to concerts, assemblies, talent show, glee clubs and district contests, Choir found time to do an occasional Happy Birthday tune for a teacher of a benefit program for a hospital. It seems they all enjoy their work and find time to kid around and pull pranks on their director, Mr. Hamble. Some of these pranks consisted of throwing him a sur- prise party, caroling for Christmas for the whole school and backing Mr. Hamble for school Sweetheart. Gold Choir members can be spotted by careful obser- vation. If you are walking down the hall and a person runs past you singing, laughing, and calling the guy next to him a NARD, you'll not be surprised to find he is a member of an important musical family at Ruskin, Gold Choir. I don't understand . . . why do those girls get to sit down??

Most people knew that girls, and boys' glee clubs met at 7:00 in the morning, but few peo- ple realized the problems that arise at that houn Every Monday and Wednesday, after arriving five minutes late, I stumbled to my chair. Someone 0 still don't know who it wasl handed me my music and I began to sing. One day I ac- tually opened my eyes, but I became dis- couraged when I saw little black dots crawling all over the page. I decided it was still too early to wake up. My voice, always croaky in the morning, presented another problem. I was a high soprano, but at 7:00 in the morning I only had about five notes that I could sing, and they werentt notes that most sopranos ever produce. These were just MY problems. When these idiosyncracies were combined with everyone elsels, how have glee clubs ever managed to get anything accomplished?! Some people will do anything for a laugh. Don't you dare hit me!

GIRLIS CHOIR IS NEW AT RUSKIN I had trouble understanding all the different vocal groups at Ruskin so I was horrified when l was given the assignment to write about girls choir. t .A-i I-Iu-hng'zi A I talked to a few people and finally realized that the only similarity between girl's choir and mix- ed choir is that they both sing well. Then I was very eager to watch the girls rehearse so I visited them during one of their class periods. - I, being a guy, expected to be swarmed. Really, Im not sure I was even noticed. They were all so dedicated to their music that I thought that they were in competition with the angels. I may never understand all the choral groups, but I do understand their love of music. I wonder where that note came from? .5 better than talking in unison. Craig Atkins, Mike Blaylock, Vic Borden. Ted Brady, Byron Butts, Jerry Collier, V 7 Robert Craig, Bill Duncan, Bruce Florea.

Can you turn a small, drab stage into an island paradise? All the honeybuns involved in South Pacific did just that! The drama and music departments combined their taIents to make this musical a grand production, when over 125 people worked for two months to create our special tiisland . For many members of the cast, South Pacific was a first. Their lack of experience in producing plays was compensated for by hard work, and of course, talent was never lacking. Zodie Dearing, who had the lead as Nellie Forbush, was one of those who had never acted before. Her skill as a singer, and her promise as an ac- tress, along with her good nature, won her the part as well as the admiration of all of us who worked with her. Mike Blaylock, who has been acting for three years, was Emile DeBeque, the charming French planter, who won Nellie,s heart. Bloody Mary was the girl we loved and there was even a song for this Ioveable character, played by Laurie Sterrett. Terry Gregory was her beautiful daughter, Liat, and Jay Welter portrayed Lt. Joe Cable, who fell in love with her. The rest of the cast consisted of nurses and marines. Heidi and Sabrina Hamble, the youngest in the cast, played Emile DeBeque's Polynesian children. Everyone looked exotic in their costumes although at times they were somewhat uncomfortable. Imagine wear- ing halter tops and grass skirts during a November snowstorm! It may have been cold outside, but by opening night the warmth of the cast and the audience's enthusiasm truly did make the set an island paradise. Aliemande right. before? HE ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE WHOLLY KNOWN HA View From The Bridge was our last play for this year. The play, a tragic story of jealousy and emotional conflict in a Brooklyn, New York family in the 1950's, was dedicated to the class of '73. Chuck Sade gave us a very moving performance as Eddie Carbone, a man confronted with emotions he didnit un- derstand which eventually led to his destruction. Chuck won the ttbest actor award for his role. The best actress award was given to Terry Wagner for her part as Beatrice Carbone, Eddie's wife. This character truly came to life with Terry's portrayal. Catherine, the niece of Eddie and Bea, was played by Debbie Kincaid. Debbie too was honored as best suppor- ting actress , along with Sherry Jankovich. Marco, portrayed by Michael Weisman, and Rudolpho, by Mike Blaylock, were the two submarines which the Car- bone family hid from the immigration bureau. Michael Weisman won best supporting actor award for his per- formance. Mike Blaylock was the great lover once again. The entire play was unified by a lawyer, Mrs. Alfieri, played by Pam Warren. Many more people put a lot of time, hard work, and love into A View From The Bridge . All of that was evident in each performance. Our year ended with much joy and a few years, knowing that we finished with Ruskinis best for ,73. : a v ZV vp ., You are uniquely taiented, but you must be better than your best. Rudolpho, hold me - teach me. N Why do you want her to work, you never worked a day in your life. He's taking you for a ride, he just wants his passport. JM' ow Means.- ., Catherine. you can't be a baby no more. Morning's at Seven, a delightful comedy depicting senior citizens, was presented in Ruskinis Little Theater on March 22, 23, and 24. The action concerned the lives of Homer and Myrtle, a young couple in their mid-forties, who had been engag- ed for twelve years. The family problems of Homeris parents, aunts, and uncles multiplied when Homer brought Myrtle home to mother for the first time. Three Thespians made their debuts in this production. Kathy Calvert showed her versatility as an actress in the role of Cora. Mark Smith demonstrated that he is an ac- complished comedian as Homer. Martin Merritt con- vinced the audience that he is an adept performer, es- pecially with character roles such as that of David the scholarly recluse. Other members of the cast were Karen Greving as Esther, Sherry Jankovich as Myrtle, Linda Koury as Arry, Bobbi Reed as Ida, Randy Schaeffer as Carl, and Mike Weissman as Thor. A hardworking, enthusiastic and talented cast insured Morning's at Seven of a sell out production all three nights, in the Drama departmentis own Little Theater.

Because of the large cast and crew of South Pacific , we learned how important cooperation is. uSouth Pacific also gave us the experience and insight needed to complete our busy year. Morning's at Seven was easier because we benefitted from our experience the first time around. We ended our theatrical year with A View From the Bridge . Acting was not the only thing the Thespian Club did. There were props that had to be fashioned for each production. Many people surprised themselves when they found they could actually build grass huts and lift tons of boards and furniture. Then there was the prop room that needed con- stant cleaning, and several Saturdays were spent at school in plain old housekeeping chores. Our baking skills were employed to earn money to send us to tournaments where many of our members achieved honors. At Conference, Chuck Sade and Terry Wagnertook1stplace in duet acting for Bury the Dead . Mike Blaylock won 3rd in humorous interpretation and Debbie Kincaid placed 3rd in dramatics for her cutting from Exodus . Other peo- ple who made excellent showings this year were Cheri Buie, who also did well with iiExodus , Robin Long, and Randy Schaeffer with their cutting Ilm Herbert from the play uYou Know I Cant Hear You When the Water's Run- ning . A special honor was given to Linda Koury in Joplin when she was voted best actress for her role as Arry in the one-act play division featuring Morningis at Seven , which won 2nd place in a field of eighteen other plays!

V 3 wvm ,, I think sleeping sickness has struck in the back of the room. DECA Some time during the year, you may have been foolish enough to bring more money to school than you need- ed to buy lunch. Immediately after stepping onto the school grounds, several hundred DECA students would greet you with an array of candles, bubble gum, bowls, unbrellas, candy, serving trays, and several other items they sold during the year. Then, even if you could resist the DECA Store , you would be coerced, coaxed and intimidated into purchasing a WHB Disc Jockeys vs. Ruskin Faculty or Playboy Bunnies vs. Ruskin Faculty Basketball game ticket. You may well ask: What diabolical minds would bring a combination of Playboy Bunnies and Chicken Man to a high school? The credit for that goes to Ruskints three DE instructors, Mr. Little, Mr. Crane, and Mr. Ricono. They also receive credit for leading sixty DECA students to District Competition, and fourteen others to further represent Ruskin at State Competition, held at the Lodge of the Four Seasons, on the Lake of the Ozarks.

Frightening, isn't it? Eleven VICA students went to contest, and eight of them scared the judges enough to win trophies. They are: Jim Ratliff, Ben Kurdi, Ron Hawes, Dick Burch, Jeff Page, Bill Princpe, John Anderson, and Steve Barnes. Someone must have told them a photographer was coming. I think my ear's asleep.

ROTC BREAKS IN COLONEL COX This year, did you notice one of the faculty members hobbling around with his leg in a cast? If you did, there was no need for alarm. It was just ROTC,s way of breaking in a new recruit, Colonel Cox. Besides the initiation of Colonel Cox, ROTC engaged in many activities new to us. For ex- ample, orientation flights at Johnson County Airpo , conducted in the five passenger Cherokee 6-300, each of which lasted fifteen minutes. Another new experience for Ruskin was the hosting of the MO-KAN Drill Meet at Richards- Gebaur Air Force Base, which included teams from ten surrounding schools. The outcome of this meet found Ruskin placing second in the competition.

STUCO IMPROVES COMMUNICA TIONS Major Johnson e glad to be home. The Student Council made a special effort to com- municate with Ruskin students this year. A revisory com- mittee met to discuss such problems as being unable to hear announcements and failure on the Council's part to inform students of the Council's activities and decisions. Several open forums were held to alleviate these problems, and a special Student Council Com- munications D , January 30, saw Council members visiting third hour classes for suggestions from students. They discussed everything from open campus, to smok- ing rooms, to more student power. When asked about the results of the session, Jim Oman, STUCO president, replied, We accomplished more in one-half hour in Com- munications Day than we did all year. Many extracurricular events were sponsored by the Coun- cil this year. Ruskinis third-annuai Project YOUth Was April 25 with many interesting classes such as classical music, hypnotism, SeIf-defense for women, and a session with a recently released P.O.W. from Vietnam. The Stu- dent Council sponsored several traditional dances, such as Football Homecoming, Snowball and helped with the girI-ask-boy St. Patrick's Dance. The Council purchased pingpong tables and croquet sets for use in the intra- mural program. A hearty thanks went to the Special Education department for assembling the croquet equip- ment.

Four members of the Student Council attended the Stu- dent Government Convention in Joplin. Using the theme, liSmall minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; great minds discuss ideas , the members brought many new ideas back concerning spirit, involvement, and special projects. Student Council this year initiated the Weakly Reader , or 20: Worth , a paper published every week to let students know about clubs and activities. Two semi-clubs stemmed from the Council were Drug Awareness , similar to last years Drug-Stop program, and the Activity Council. Drug Awareness changed in that it gave unbiased statistics rather than scare-tactics about drug use and abuse. Volunteers spent two months of intensive training before presenting their insights to Junior High students. Finally, the Activity Council was formed to organize club meetings and projects during the seventy minute activity periods Wednesdays and Thursdays. Meetings were plac- ed on a rotating schedule, instead of all clubs meeting on the same day. '73 was a good year for Student Council. .., wry, . -14 1:1; Mmmw, I wonder what Harl ey would do if I bit him on the ear?

The induction was held March 24th, where ninety-five new members were introduced. New members were offered these words of wisdom from the 73 officers: Dan Duewell: ttSeIf-confidence is not conceit, but it is a genuine belief in the righteousness of ones cause and a just appraisal of one's ability and knowledge. David Powell: leadership in its highest sense is not simply an outgrowth of avigorous and pleasingpersonaiity.The peace and prosperity of the world, and the salvation of mankind from itself, are in the ieaderts hands. In youth, the leaders of our own world today, Hes the hope of the world tomorrow along the pathway to peace. Carol Holle: Each of us should use hermis mind, for it is an instrument of understanding. With understanding, solutions can be discovered. Lois Galloway: ttThe greatness or poorness ofour habits determines our real actions, thus making us what we are. Pam Potter: ttGood Scholarship, fine Character, and inspiring Leadership may be found lacking, in some small part, if service for our fellow man is not included. This year marked the test year of service from our sponsor, Mrs. Skaggs, as she retired from teaching. She has been afaithful member ofthe Ruskin faculty and a most capable sponsor for the Honor Society. We truly regret seeing her leave us. Thank you, Mrs. Skaggs.

LANGUAGE CLUBS REFLECT MANY CULTURES FRENCH CLUB After what seemed to be thousands of bake sales, our French Club earned enough money to bring an Amity Aide over from France. Michilene Gerard spent one quarter helping Mrs. Fisher, making many French students marvel at the odd way French peo- ple spoke French. Some of our other activities included a trip to the Chateaubriand and a French Christmas party complete with a Buche Noel. SPANISH CLUB A beautiful pinata, sagging slightly at the bottom, a popped balloon, and a punch made of squashed bananas, cherries, and orange juice were highlights of the Spanish Clubts Christmas par- ty. A tour guide gave us hints to make traveling and com- municating in Mexico easier. For most of us the closest we came to using this information was when we traveled to the Casa de Montez restaurant right here in Kansas City. SPEECH CLUB lnformality was the key word in our Speech Club. Discussions I Germe dealt mainly with the informal aspects of communication, such as 0. Mel body language. We hosted a new type of speech tournament that Augus really tested a contestantts persuasive powers. Upon arriving at H. Bar the tournament, the contestant was given a topic, insuring everyone an equal amount of preparation. Bet GERMAN CLUB German made its debut at Ruskin and with it came the beginnings of the German Club. We got off to a rather slow start. The high point of the year was when a foreign exchange student from Ger- many showed slides and spoke about her homeland. We hope that next year our club will equal Ruskints other language clubs in attendance, interest, and enthusiasm. Spanish Club, First Row, tLeft to rjghn D. Johnson - V.P., L. Good, K.

That seems to be what many people think, but it is not always so. Math Club really deals with acquainting the students with jobs associated with math that could help at college and in later years. The ciubis activities were as varied as hearing a lecture on Engineering as a Career to planning a field trip to KCI in the spring.

Any boy that received a singing valentine vouched for that. The Sweetheart election was a highlight for FTA this year, with Mr. Hamble and Mrs. Briggs as the first place winners. Aww, isn't that cute!? It raised nearly one hundred dollars, and that's a lot of pennies! There were twenty-five possible Future Teachers of America this year. Its sponsors were Mrs. Gelsinger and Mrs. Crawford. The officers were as follows: President, Gayle Fetters; Vice-President, Cathy Locke; Treasurer, Carol Holle; Secretary, Susan Schilling; Records, Denise Harmon; Historian, Jenny Urton. M C Medical Careers was off to an excellent first year. Its membership was up to approximately thirty students and was able to launch the V. D. awareness program, and the Senior Blood Bank. This was not a club which had a lot of requirements, but was a club for anyone that was interested in the medical profes- sion. The club proved beneficial to its members not oniy through its programs, but by the field trips to Kansas University, to Kansas City Children's Mercy Hospital and through professional acquaintances. r , .

CREATIVE ARTS LETS YOU DO YOUR OWN THING! The Devil made me do it! ART CLUB Our Creative Arts Club tried to contribute more to Ruskin in various ways. Our first project concerned the North Central Evaluation Committee. We created centerpieces for the tables at the dinner which they attended. Perhaps the artwork hanging around the school caught your eye. These were provided by our talented members: Jon Thurmond, Kathy Clements, Laura Bergman, Jack Boyies, Susan Harness, Sheryl Turner, Karen Crane, Valerie Payne, Nancy Busse, Barbe Pooler, and our sponsor Mr. Ferman. FILM CLUB Cartoons, movies, tickets, lights, cameras, action, that's what this club is made of! With the help of Ms. Gelsinger and Ms. Nelson, Ruskin's first Film Club finally got its start. Our interest in film making made up for any lack of skill. The biggest problem was a financial one. Our major project was a cartoon film festival which didn't exactly break even. Christmas decorations were sold to help pay the bills. If Film Club is to succeed next year, we're going to need some concrete financial assistance. RADIO CLUB A small dark storeroom at the bottom of the west stairs is the home of the Radio Club. As you enter you will find Mike Stallbories, Rick Brack, Randy DeBord, and Bob Craig among the many gadgets they work with. Strange noises burst forth from one of the receivers.

Usually this is just as far as their desire for a change goes - a protest march last summer, a forgotten petition on a dusty desk, or a boycott where no one buys but no one remembers why. This year at Ruskin, a new club was organized solely for the improvement of the school and com- munity. This is the Key Club, a group under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club, specifically for the high school boys. Mr. Lankford, the sponsor, is also a member of the Kiwanis Club. He described the club as a Social Service organization. Their main objective is to help other people, and they have fun while they do it. The Key Club started the year by cleaning out the trophy case. They also sponsored a faculty vs. Key Club basketball game from which the proceeds went to a needy family. During the activity period various members of the club sold soft drinks in the cafeteria. The destructive students had a chance to smash a car while other cars were washed. Members of the Key Club were also responsible for cleaning up Ruskin before the North Central Evaluation last winter. Brian Ebbert, the president of Key Club, said' We make money to use money. All the money we make will be given away to someone or some organization. The surplus money was used to send Ruskinls representatives of the club to the district meeting in Arkansas. If things go as planned, Key Club will be exciting and helpful again next year. I don't wanna and you can't make me. Below: I found it under a rock! TX hwi Above: Food for thought has no calories. WEIGHT WA TCHERS TAKE IT OFF Ruskin High School has always been a school willing to add novel activities for the betterment of society. This year Ruskin has added a new group of watchers to their list, and now there is nothing in the school that is not either watching or being watched. In the past, there were the bird watchers, boy watchers, girl watchers, and clock watchers. Now the Weight Watchers have been proudly added to the list. The Weight Watchers were a dedicated group of fourteen girls and three teachers who have the desire to lose extra weight and improve both their appearance and their health. Mrs. Wright, Ruskin's nurse and Mrs. Skinner, the two sponsors, and Barbara Bossler, a counsellor from Weight Watchers lnc., attend each meeting. The members were required to keep a record of every morsel eaten each week and they went over this with the counsellor. Ninety pounds were lost by the club members in the first semester. The only requirement to join was to be ten pounds or more overweight. For once there is a club in Ruskin where the losers are the winners. You were a 98 pound weakling? mam .WWW1FfmgmWWGMWWQMw-.xu.uvnn;n..3..;.7. .-,- , ..,.-..... 7m,.....,-.,1-a.aevvw,-.Maq9-..,.A.,g,gwm-a A ' First Flow. lLeft to rightl Greg Underwood, Steve Kruger.

THEY'RE NOT BOBBY FISHERS, BUT THEYlRE RUSKIN'S CONTRIBUTION TO CHESS Talk about being baffled! Ever walk into a room full of guys just looking at chess boards? Even the sponsor, Mr. Boothe, seemed out of it. Dur- ing my conversation with Jeff League, the president, I discovered that thatls how the Chess Club has a challenge. What's a challenge? I asked. 'llt happens when members of the club who are not on the four- teen man chess team challenge members of the team for the right to represent Ruskin at a tournament. Jeff explained. But is that all you do at meetings? No, we also discuss what school's chess team we will challenge, he told me. I also learned that one of the most important tournaments that Ruskin participated in was the Winnetonka Tornado, in which they took fifth out of twenty-eight schools.

What is AFS? The letters AFS stand for American Tiptoe through the tulipS- Field Service. Ruskin has supported this program since 1962, when the first foreign exchange student became a proud Ruskin Eagle. This club promoted world peace and togetherness. It gave many students from different countries a chance to learn about the ways of life in countries foreign to them. Angela Haikili, Ruskin's foreign exchange student from Greece, and her American sister, Cathy Faros, tried desperately to get students interested in the AFS program. They needed students willing to raise money and find families that would care for AFS students. Selling Bells for Peace was one attempt by Angela and Cathy to raise money. I talked with Angela about the difference between Ruskin and her school in Greece. She said, All of our courses are picked for us and school is strictly for studying. Here i was able to pick my own courses. Students do a lot more than study, such as par- ticipate in clubs, sports, dances, plays and concerts that are sponsored by the school. This gives students a great chance to make friends! 'i ,u.,,,,.4.,..m.. mm, 1,424? w1-,....n. r,.. aywnvwrm hm. . . b . Md I n , wE . . . e . y,h . v UT 2 . YW H mm . . f... ,. 2 P. m .. :u u , ..

ACTIVITY PERIOD IS WHERE ITS AT Every Wednesday and Thursday, promptly at I:05, the final bell rang. As usual at the end of the school day, there was a mass of people moving at a slow crawl to their lockers. The only difference was that most of them didn't leave because now it was time for the Activity Period. I loved the Activity Period. It made It possible for me to join more clubs, to have extra time in the library, and to do weird things. But there were dis- advantages, too. When there's something going on in every room in the school, it's difficult to track peo- ple down. They seem to keep moving! It was during the activity period that I made my debut as a box hockey player. It looked like the perfect sport for me . . . there was no running involved. I dreamed of becoming a champion box hockey player. That dream lasted a total of 20 seconds, just long enough for me to see a kid get hit in the nose with a hockey stick. There were other exciting things that went on during these activity periods, such as soul dancing. Some people were fantastic. When I tried to copy them, I usually ended up an embarrassed tangle on the floor. My efforts at becoming a chess player, volleyball player, and decoupager didntt bring forth any better results. Although I didn't succeed in master- ing these skills, the activity period gave me the opportunity to try and try and try again. 4- ,7? ,iA, Wiir,k v , , mqmz: 4 44, am aw, 2' Si 0RTS.'..

A POTPOURRI 0F FOOTBALL PLA YERS After hearing about this years football record, I went in search of the head coach to find out what exactly kept our team from winning more games after so many hours of work, and prac- tice. After spending many hours in search of the coach, I finally found him going over the films of Ruskin's last game. Finding he was too busy, some of the players were inter- viewed. I first ran across Julian Dziurawiec and asked what thoughts he has as center of the team. He said, uI must make certain I don't goof on deep snaps, and I must make sure I get my man on the line. And then I found Jan Bond down in the locker room and inquired about what he thinks of while a thrown pass is still in the air, uWill it ever get to me?l', was his answer. My next question to him was how he felt when the team loses, and he stated, 'I feel just like quitting, it's that simple. Working out in the weightroom was Mike Sola. He in- formed me that his most exciting memory of the past year was, IIWinning Homecoming . Brian Ebbert, the trainer, was found in the first aid room making slingshots with the ace ban- dages. I asked him how he wraps these ban- dages so fast and he replied. Shoot, I look at them and they jump on themselves. The reason he gave for liking chocolate milk was, III like juvenile things like balloons, toys, and girls, and that is just one of them too! Dave Riggle was leaning against the flagpole when my keen eyes spotted him. Why did you want to play football? was my question. He answered, Because I like to hit guys. On that note I thought I had better leave. Which way did he go? Hz. COUNTRY RUSKIN CROSS Any chan X-Cl scho My mother would be proud. Another fun meet! Below Marga Wow, am l ever.fast!!!

HAS A NEW FIRST This year, for the first time, the Ruskin High School stu- dent body elected a Cross-Country Queen. Any Girl at Ruskin, Sophomore, Junior or Senior, had the chance to run. Of all the girls, only five were elected by the X-C runners themselves. They were picked on the basis of school spirit and their support of cross-country. The five girls, Neva Tebow, Renee Rabuse, Corby Osborn, Margaret Jordan and Debbie Gibson were then voted on by the entire student body. Results were announced at the annual Ruskin Invitational Cross-Country Meet at Swope Park with Renee Rabuse as queen. She was crowned by Neil Russ, X-C captain. The girls were then called upon to hand out the medals to individual winners and the trophies to the team winners. Below: tLeft to rightt Debbie Gibson, Renee Rabuse, Neva Tebow.

Excedrin Headache Number 17 What would it be like to be a long distance runnerl. . .all those nice, long jogs to the park, with little side trips to nearby towns and schools, and those nice little laps you find on the track. Yes, those long, fun hours of practice, that's when it really gets tough to hang in there and keep with it. Did you know that running is really just what you think it is? It's mostly in the mind of the runner. You have to believe in yourself, and know you can do it. Through all these long hours of practice, work and pain, you have to keep set on one fact; to be a winner, to be number ONE. All your work, striving and torture is all for this one purpose, to win because success is glorious and defeat, agony. Success depends not only on practice and work, but on the runner's will. It must be strong. You must keep a positive attitude, never get depressed or discouraged, and always be ready to run and to wm. You must live through pain and distress, suffering and aching, wound and injury. You must overcome all ordeals and burdens. Yes, to be a winner is hard, but isnit it worth it? And, it takes a lot of guts and a lot of will. Running is only half the race, the mind controls the other half. You cant ever settle for second, not once, not in practice and not in the ultimate trial, the meet. As in any other thing, success depends on YOU!!!

Individual times were better than ever, and many members received medals at various meets. The Cross-Country coach, Mr. Alford worked the runners over 500 miles in practice this season alone. The team started out on the right foot and improved up to the middle of the season when most of the runners reached their peak. Then illness and injury struck; many of the runners went downhill near the end of the season and two were out completely. All this considered, the team pulled out third at District, the best showing for Ruskin in recent years. SometimesIiustwonderWHY!!!

Ruskinis Junior Varsity basketball team appears to be the start of something new in Kansas City area. Last December 6 to December 9, the first annual Ruskin In- vitational Junior Varsity basketball tournament was held. Both Head Coach Quest and Junior Varsity Coach Langford have been involved with Junior Varsity tour- naments in the Central Missouri Area from where they hail. J.V. teams from three area schools were invited: Raytown South, Center and Hickman Mills. This made it a four team tournament, for of course, Ruskin was the host. The outcome was as Coach Lankford put it, the highpoint of our season. As of now, the coaches plan for another four team tournament next year. They hope to increase the number of participants in the future as the idea catches on. Ame 5911!.qu 1w Sink that putt! ,.-... hm .Uwu. .

QUE SERA SERA It has been rumored that the wrestling team has been planning on sabotaging the faculty members. Brian Brown took the initiative by breaking Mr. Boothe's little toe. I wondered if Coach Clark knew of this plot. Therefore, an interview was arranged with him so I couId find out. The interview went like this: I asked Coach Clark how he became wrestling coach at Ruskin. Expecting to hear how he had been a championship wrestler in high school and college, and perhaps about the trophies he had won in State competition, I was sur- prised to learn that white in need of a job, Coach Clark applied at Ruskin to teach math. Ruskin was in greater need of a wrestling coach han a math teacher. They agreed to let him teach, he could be the wrestling coach. Coach Clark remembered his previous experience as a wrestler which consisted of three matches dur- ing his stint in the armed forces. Knowing he had won two out of three, he thought there was nothing to keep him from trying. When asked about Mr. Boothe's accident the coach answered, What wrestlers do on their own time is their business, but Brown was told to pick on someone his own size. Mr. Boothe called the inci- dent itThe Fall of a Great American. WWMW , . memt 4?. e I km s uscuwaaah... N , gimvmm V. x New W x mt v u n. v wunuar ..,.w w m .

It is a well-known fact that Ruskinls wrestling team took first in the District and Regional meets, and that four members of the team went to state, where Ruskin placed second, but the reason for these victories is known to very few. The organization that follows Ruskin's wrestlers from match to match, to tournaments, and even to Columbia for the state tournament, is the same group that supports and encourages the team, cheering them on to victory - the Wrestling Chanters. A result of their work was easily seen at all of the wrestling matches, for painted signs and streamers decorated Ruskinls section above and beyond the others. This year the Chanters were able to follow the wrestling team to the state tournament only because the Booster Club was generous enough to insure the payment of all bills encountered in Columbia. The Chanters showed their appreciation by holding a bake sale to help repay the money. This and other Chanter activities were headed by Captain Cindi Rape and sophomore captain, Vicki Sim- mons.

And our new coach, Mr. Wild, worked hard to create a group of guys determined to win. Early in the season, rain dampened the field, but not the team's spirits. Next, the April snow tried to cool off the team, but it only slowed them down by robbing them of a few days practice. In baseball, as any other sport, a team can have a strong desire to win, work well together, be led by an excellent coach, and still lose some games. Sometimes, the op- posing team is simply better, but more often a bad break can change the outcome of a game. A wild pitch, chopped ball or overthrow can be disastrous when they occur at the wrong time. These breaks played a large part in the games that Ruskin lost this year. In the majority of the games that were lost, Ruskin had both more hits and fewer errors than the op- position. In most cases, the winning team just happened to receive their outs and errors in the proper sequence to come out on top. All in all, Ruskin showed their opponents strong competi- tion whether they won or lost. I'd rather fight than switch. always wanted to put out that window.

Standing in front of huge glass cases with his round eyes glowing and his little mind about to blow a fuse, he tries to decide which he wants first. Just as jawbreakers, jeliybeans and bubblegum are offered for his wares, a track meet offers something for everyone; sprints, relays, medleys, the shot put and pole vaulting. For Jan Bond and John Blyholder, Ruskin's triple- jumpers, someone a hop, skip and jump away might have been seen in the next county. After watching John at work, an onlooker could easily have seen that he was in his second childhood and reliving his days as hopscotch king. Mark Rabuse spent the season trying to outrun his brother's shadow and might have succeeded if Mr. Steck had been able to teli them apart on the mor- ning announcements. Markts favorite reminiscing is about the time he outran his brother by squeezing between two fences that his brother was too wide for.

One thing Dave wanted everyone to know is that the poles are made of fiberglass and that he does not vault over Polish peo- ple.

The golf coach in any school can easily be recognized by a total alien. There are certain signs which distinguish him from all other people: he is slightly bald from the hair torn out in desperation; his shoulders are stooped for he is his own caddy; and his voice is hoarse from yelling the three Commandments of Golfing. - Keep your left arm straight; Keep your eye on the ball; and Follow through . Coaching a golf team is not the easiest job. It includes several steps from selecting a team, down to molding that team to be able to compete against other high schools. These activities can run into problems, for example, Mr. Quest, Ruskints golf coach, went through the rough and across the sandtraps in order to find a course for Ruskin's team to practice on. This happened because after buying equipment and paying dues, his resources were running dry. But after he managed to secure four days of practice at Minor Park, things were not dry at all. All four days were rained out! This meant Coach Quest must rank his team without watching them play. In golf, this could be spoken of as the uwater hazard . Since the team received little chance to practice, the coach really got teed offwhen they just putted around. These little technicalities were all part of the coach's job and helped to add joy to his life.

Whatever the case, one thing is certain. Rhuskin's tennis team was always doing something out of t e norm. To start the year off, several members of the team mis- understood the tennis cheer as explained by their coach, Mr. Lankford. Instead of simply lifting their rackets over their heads to signify their victory, our tennis piayers were found bounding over the busses and cavorting across the course. When Mr. Lankford questioned the team concer- ning these happenings, they gave him similar answers. He explained that they were told to raise a racket and not to create a chaos or develop a disturbance. The second problem was encountered when a final team had to be chosen. Mr. Lankford does not usually exclude sophomores and juniors from the team, but he never had a femaIe-type junior tryout before. He knew that Kimi Woodward would be an addition to the team and he also thought she could play tennis; but never before had a girl competed in a major sport at Ruskin, or any other school in our conference. Also, according to the rules, Kimi could not legally play against boys in conference games. Not be- ing the kind of person to let her racket droup, Kimi somehow managed to persuade some boys to play against her, ailowing that of her being a girl off the record. The third extraordinary thing took place while Ruskin was competing with Blue Springs. Feeling discomfort and cold chills before the singles match, Harley Blosser was preparing to go against the never defeated Bob Comfort, the Blue Springs tennis ace. The match went well and Harley decisively defeated Comfort, much to the Blue Springs team's chagrin. After the match, Ruskin's team proudly raised their rackets over their heads and returned with joy. You've had it now. Tennis anyone?

POWDER PUFF ENDS IN 14-14 TIE Hoping it would provide the very inspiration I needed to describe Pep Club, I decided just once this year I wanted to be the Pep Club Eagle. So, I pried Jennifer May out of the costume and put it on! I could see so many things! I saw the hours of work Nelinda Sturdevant put in sign meetings not to mention Angie Strauss leading a chorus of cheers at games. And then there was Denise Bury always busy with dances. I could remember too, the sponsors counting heads on the bus at away games to make sure that everyone got home, and then after finding everyone was present putting in ear plugs to keep from going deaf! Spirited Pep Club members would be at games, yelling until they were so hoarse they couldn't talk along with Pep Band playing jazzy music! I could recall the joy and the bright faces of those gals who yelled so faithfully when we won . . . along with their tears after we lost a close one. It makes me sad to have to take off the Eagle. I could see so many things, but perhaps I should leave it out and maybe someone next year can see the good Pep Club does for the school. This year there were many problems but, there is always a hope that next year, Pep Club will get back in full swing at Ruskin with even more spirit and enthusiasm! 6 Left to Right: Sponsors: Mrs. Nelson.

VARSITY SQUAD KEEPS AN EIGHT YEAR TRADITION Memories is the word that pops up when you ask a Varsity Cheerleader what she liked most about cheering. tAnd believe me, there are plenty of memoriesll From the time Debbie Farris, captain; Kimi Woodward, co-captain; Sharon Hampton, Sandy Dawson, Ginger Bartley, and Terri Williams were announced as Ruskin Varsity Cheerleaders, the rest has been one gigantic memory. Those which we will never forget are: break-of-dawn practices , a car wash that was rained out, washing car windows at Leawood Drive-in, a slumber party where we practiced cheers outside at 3:00 am, tthat Ruskin spirit never lets up!l,flying on the plane to Oklahoma, then waiting all day to catch a bus to camp . . . . . . . Then at camp, there were the HOT day practices, that dreaded competition, all those aches and pains of bruises, poison-ivy, and high strung nerves . . . tplus a little home-sickness . . .l These problems were forgotten by the last day of camp when we were awarded four blue ribbons and the spirit stick. We were also nominated for the Coca-Cola plaque award, which would have enabled us to make a nationally seen commercial. Ruskin's Squads have held this tradition for eight consecutive years! The memory that will last forever is the friendship that we experienced while working, crying, laughing and supporting the boys throughout the summer and school year. Now you know why a cheerleader always answers Memories when you ask her what she liked best about being a cheerleader! We have to jump to stay warm . . . . You expect us to cheer? You've got to be kidding! Above: Dear Abby . . . Below: Shape up or I'll sock it to you! He went that-a-way. J. V. CHEERLEA DERS SPIRIT A WA Y THE BLAHS As a devoted member of Pep Club, I had the opportunity to observe our J.V. cheerleaders in action. I saw them cheer between chattering teeth at football games because it was so cold. I watched them dodge poorIy passed basketballs and fall- ing basketball players; After we lost a particulary hard fought game, I would see the disappointment steal across their faces, only to be replaced by a grin and the cheer - l-I want-want you-you to know that IIm an Eagle. One of my most horrifying memories occurred at a basketball game. Judy Kennedy and Karen Summers were doing flips across the court and they collided. I still shudder when I think about it. I watched our J.V. squad all through the year and I never caught them without smiles or their spirit.

BLUE AND GOLD DIGGERS DANCE THROUGH SEASON It all started with tryouts. May, 1972, thatis when we first got together as the 1973 Blue and Gold Diggers. We elected our captain, Brenda McFerrin and our co-captain, Sherry Tull. We certainly didnlt know then what kind of year it would turn out to be . . . fantastic, fun, and full of surprises! One of our first surprises was taking 2nd place at drill team camp. We earned quite a wild reputation marching through the halls at midnight and having the security police after us! I'm sure our housemother just loved us. It takes a lot of something to be able to come to drill team practice at 6:00 AM. all summer. Looking back, though, we must have looked pretty strange stretching out in Ruskinls parking lot so early in the morning. It wasn't all just a repetition of ttstep-touch- step-kick, ball-change step kick-kick . We also had the thrill of being questioned as to why we werenlt kicking higher and hearing Brenda yell full out girls ! I'm sure our audiences were thrilled when we danced the Charleston with feathers, gar- ters, beads and even eyelashes. I dontt know how authentic it was. Ask your mother! She should know. All in all, in spite of various problems, lost flags, droopy socks, and forgotten steps we danced through the year with one motto, donit forget to smile girls ! . a ,. ., t , Clockwise from Top: Sherry Tull tco-cath, Cathy Locke, Terri Kroencke.

I imagined all the exciting things that were probably going on down at their meeting. I knew the room would probably be full of huge foot- baII players bounding across the room, and track stars jumping out the windows. I eagerly knocked on the door and asked to Interview someone. My dreams of what R Club was like were shattered. They rarely had a meeting, and when they did it wasNtexdhng.TheInghpohntntheyearwasthehcandysab. I remember that very well - it just about put me into a state of bankruptcy! How could anyone refuse to buy candy from someone that was 6'5 and weighed 350 pounds? I certainly wasnIt going to take the risk. Besides their candy sale, this years members did manage to lay the plans for painting the bleachers In the gym blue and gold.

IS POWDER PUFF FOOTBALL REALLY A VICTORY FOR WOMENIS LIB? The Powder Puff game has come and gone and I STILL dont know what prompted me to play in it. lim not a Women's Libber, so I wasnt out to embarrass any male chauvinists. I must have been just slightly insane. That explains it! One Sunday in mid-September, off I trudged to practice, under the impression that we would throw the ball around, play a short game, and then go home. Ha! First came calisthenics. Our coaches devised some of the most INGENIOUS exercises. In between crossing the right foot over the left foot and the left foot over the right foot, I began to feel like a huge pretzel. Then came drills, drills, drills, and more drills, with a lecture on plays. Reversal, 24 quick pitch, and slant, went in one ear and out the other. We practiced in the heat, the dark, the cold, and even at 8:00 am. one Saturday morning. Bruised and broken, I kept going back. Finally the day came. I wore my football jersey that was only 20 sizes too big, decorated my locker, and felt slightly sick as I soon realized that the other team consisted of one huge girl after another. Since it rained that day, I still had another week in this cold, cruel world. All too soon Wednesday night came, and there I was in the middle of a wet, muddy football field, face to face with a girl twice my size. The game resulted in a tie with both teams playing brilliantly. They fought, passed, blocked, and ran. I sat on the bench. But for an hour I was a football player and I still cant figure out how I did it. - n r menu Karunyrrzwtuunz au'xi -.Lu'.3;.

DA WSON IS OUR 72-73 QUEEN Ruskin, to my knowledge, has had a homecoming as long as there was someone to come home. So why should the 72-73 Homecoming be any different? Because it was OUR homecoming, and a non-stop one at that. We had our own humble version of the Keep America Beautiful' campaign - wall to wall signs insisted that we de-feather the Blue Jays. Let's not forget the spirit chain contest. I guess I needn't mention who won that! For the third year in a row, but now lim boasting, arenit I?i And I, for one, was too entranced by the Corvettes to ever forget them! September 29 said it all. We displayed our grandeur in inimitable style. Sandy Dawson was our queen, with Helen Coats and Carol France, seniors, Diana McCormick, junior, and Dawn Fulte, sophomore, in attendance. The fact that we won with a shutout was just icing on the cake! TERRI RULES SNOWBALL PEACE During the Christmas season, We often wondered how many people really do feel the peace which touches everybody and everything in its own special way. How many people really know the sense of brotherhood? Ruskin students did, as we danced amidst the doves and winter settings used to carry out the tPeace on Earth theme of our annual Snowball. Of the three senior attendants, Debbie Decker, Terri Grider, and Cindy Hursh, Terri became our queen. Mel Borden and Cathy OtBryan completed TerrPs court. The canned goods donated as we entered the cafeteria were given to the needy, so that they might also know that special brand of Ruskin peace.

The half time ceremony at the Ruskin - North Kansas City game climaxed a week of excited anticipation for all of those who helped make it work - the Band, the Blue and Gold Diggers, the Pep Club, the Basketball Team, and, of course, the Homecoming Court. Our senior attendants were Terri Kroencke, Cindy Viles, and Gae Yach, who became our queen.

Outside a thunderstorm was raging, but none of the contestants allowed the rainy weather to dampen either spirit or talent. Acts ranged from the prize winning soul dance routine by Rhonda Ulledahl and Randy Moore, to an imitation of Elvis Presley by Kevin Baker. By watching the various comedy skits, singing groups, musicians, and dramatic cuttings, it was evident that we had more than our share of talent at Ruskin. But we soon discovered that we werentt the only talented ones attending Ruskin. Our own courageous and imaginative, if not a bit hammy, faculty wasn't going to be left unnoticed. They decided to produce, direct, and star in Ruskints first faculty talent show in almost ten years. Mr. Steck set right to work un- covering his long underwear, tutu, and blonde wig, so that he could make his debut as tiStecklova on the Rushkin stage. The uGold and Blue Duggers , in white blouses and blue bloomers, willingly served as his chorus line. Mr. Boothe and Mr. 00er decided that if Kevin Baker could pretend to be Elvis Presley, then they could pretend that they could sing. Complete with long hair, jeans, and a tattoo on Mr. Boothets stomach, they rendered their own off-key version of On the Cover of the Rolling Stone, and uDead Skunk in the Middle of the Road. A melodrama starring Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Dowell, Mr. Hamble, Mrs. Pearis, and Mr. Clark, a fashion show where Mrs. Gelsinger managed to cause a sensation as she flipped her top, an appearance by Miss Leona Mallory, and a backward flip performed by Mr. Nicholson were just a few of the many ways our faculty demonstrated their talent and school spirit in one of the best assemblies in the history of Ruskin High School. . $ Q g A... r . wade Above: Thanks for the lift.

After 52 hours of dancing, they're still on their feet. Prom '73! Most people think of the wonderful time they had, or how much they enjoyed the band, ttShelter, lOr how much money they spentll Yet I looked back, and the firstthing I remembered was all the preparation involved. April 28 was also the day of the Walk for Mankind, in which I participated - for the entire 20 miles. Tired, but satisfied, I returned home to get ready for an event I had anticipated for weeks! Even though all the little things went wrong, when I put on the dress I couldn't believe lid been fortunate enough to find that I felt transformed. Nothing could possibly have gone wrong! When we arrived, I knew everything I had waited for wouldn't turn out to be a disappointment. I looked around, and it hit me that this was my last Prom. This would be the last time I would get to see people run- ning for chairs or taking flowers off the tables. This would be the last time I would wonder which girl left her shoes under the table. This WAS the last time I would be at the Muehlebach having a wonderful time at the Prom.

He stood lean and tall, not at all like the elves, and all laughed when they saw him in spite of themselves. His suit was red, but too bright, Like NEON.

We are all at the threshold of our adult lives. The prosperity or failure of our efforts in these days to come hinges greatly on the twelve years we've invested in an education. It awes me as I look back at the opportunities which have come my way during these years. One such oppor- tunity was the chance to be editor of this yearbook. I can't truthfully say I've received all this positioncan give, but even so, it's been one of the most rewar- ding experiences of myelife. It's hard for me to express the appreciation I feel for the kids on the yearbook staff, but I know the MIRAGE will reflect with its quali- ty, their efforts. and the high caliber of people they really are. My most sincere thanks to Mike Bouldin. Linda Easterday, Lois Galloway, Denise Harmon. Mary Harness, Karan Hedrick. Carol Holle. Jo Dell Johnson, Ted Keehn, Barb Pooler, ' Mike Higgins. Nell Russ, Jolaen Russell. Susan. Schilling. Neva Tebow, Sherry Tull, John Washburn. Kimi Woodward, and special thanks to Co-Editor Pam Potter, assistant editors Lynn Cochran and Cathy Locke, head photographer Phil Kaiser. and sponsor Miss Ellen Mooney. 'N'o mancan set a limit on what we may accomplish with our lives. It is desidedl by each of us. I can only hope my senior class, all of the other classes that make 'up Ruskin, and ,all people at this stage of their lives will make full use of the op- portunities that confront them. The fate of the world will someday rest on our shoulders. v 7 9 .' .7 , You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars. you have a i'rrigiht. to be here - eh Owingg Ed: W- I 213 i I 'lwmguw .m .. x M T-u.m:.p,w A 1785221 - 1.7mm , .- A'Illnon.
