Years from now we will all be separated by distances of lime and space, but today we are here — together. So while we are here, let's reach out to all that surrounds us. Let’s take a look at the time and space that is here. For it is Pur own.” Darla Drcher. 1st semester editor ENGLISH AND MATH In the English Language Arts classes, the semester literature courses concentrate on analysis, discussion, and developing reading skills. Students participate in class discussions and write on various related topics. The grammar composition courses deal mainly with construction, vocabulary, and spelling drills. Students write a variety of compositions such as paragraphs, expositive and argumentative papers, themes, and letters. The creative writing classes learn the basis of writing for publication. The student learns to work in all areas of the school newspaper by preparing copy, doing page lay-outs, interviewing, and reporting. Students also write a number of personal writing assignments. The English I class works on developing both grammar and writing skills. They also read and discuss literature of various types. Overall, structure and communication arc stressed since using words to express ideas, feelings, and personal emotions is basic to communication. The more practice the individual has in using communication skills, the better he or she is understood. 1. Loretta Charlton demonstrates a famous Charlton fall in acting class. 2. Tammy Martin, Christie Clark, and Rhonda Ebert say “I didn't do it”, while working on the third issue of the school newspaper. 3. Dinah Flinn defines terms for a Group Discussion topic. 4.

Annette Etienne, and Kelly Lindenmuth concentrate on an Algebra I assignment. 4 Mr. Heublein teaches two classes of Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry and one class of Analysis that are basi- cally college preparatory classes. In Algebra, development of skills and techniques that have been learned in the ele- mentary Algebra classes and their application to higher mathematical relationships are stressed. In Analysis, func- tional mathematic concepts are stressed. The basis of col- lege calculus is also touched on. The General Mathematics class is consumer-related. Instruction covers as many areas as possible that relate to the everyday consumer. s For over 200 years our American society has been assured of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; this is our American way of life. Government teacher, Mr. Tony Dutton,wants each student to realize this and to develop a deep appreciation for the American system of government. During each of the two semester Government courses, Mr. Dutton incorporates a unit of international relations that is designed to teach students about foreign affairs and relationships between countries. The overall objective of the Government class is to give students a knowledge of our democratic system and an understanding of the values of our culture. 1. Mr. Dutton. WHS Government teacher, walks his usual path while lecturing to a government class. 2. Ron Kastner. Sandra Dearing, Ruth Glover, and Pat Worrel find out that there is more to Government than listening to a lecture. 3. Romona Duncan is amazed by the new visitor's ability to comprehend the unit on the judicial process. Government Teaches Democratic Way Of Life 6 From Columbus To Watergate: American History From the adventures of Columbus to the trials of Watergate, our American heritage has only begun. What does the future hold for us as Americans? Awareness of the past and possibilities for the future are points Mr. Corwin Seamans, WHS American History teacher, stressed to each of his classes during the ’79-’80 school year. Even though Mr. Seamans taught no new material this year, he used today’s most controversial issues to help each individual learn to think for himself. 1. Mr. Seamans. American History teacher, points out to his students that our American History does have a humorous side. 2. Greg Rial, Alan Buchanan, and Ricky Baker study for the Civil War test, while Amy Holle and Danny Holmes discuss something! 3.

The “Red Raider Marching Machine” was a theme that band instructor, Jim Jones, used to describe the 1979 Wamego High School Marching Band. Our band rushed into the fall season by playing for the snake dance and strutted their way through many other successful performances. Forty-one band members and drum major, Diane Zoeller, attended a parade in Olathe, followed by a well-earned, fun-filled trip to Worlds of Fun, marched in the Rossville homecoming parade, football games, pep rallies, and a yearbook sales campaign assembly. The band’s highly praised performances were credited to hard work, determination, and early morning practices. The season ended on the evening of November 13, 1979, when the “Marching Machine” performed, in concert, their marching music of the fall season. 1.

Home Ec The comprehensive vocational home economics program Of Wamego High School includes several areas of study. The offerings include: Family l iving. C hild Care. Home Management. Housing and Interior Design. C areers. Foods and Nutrition, and Clothing and Textiles Some of the highlights of the year were: panels, guest speakers, field trips, and actual hands-on xpcricnccs like cooking meals and bathing babies in the classroom laboratory The Home Economics program is directed towards giving students experience with day to dav living tasks that they will confront later in life I.

Angie Colbert, Paul Farrell, and Cynthia Clark work in 3-D Design. Physical Education In Physical Education students participate every day of the school year. Each class starts with a 15-minute warm-up. Curriculum studied includes units on team sports and individual or lifetime sports. Study guides are given to each student concerning history and rules of the games. These arc discussed in class. The freshmen girls’ classes participate in the following team sports: speed ball, flag football, volleyball, basketball, and softball. Bowling, badminton, and table tennis are intorduced as individual activities that can be carried over to later years. Numerous indoor team games are played along with a unit on folk, square, and aerobic dancing. This year a unit on physical fitness concepts was introduced. It stressed the how and why of physical fitness. This was an individual program with each student working out of a workbook. 1. In Girls’ P.E. various types of dances arc learned. This group of girls is learning how to square dance. 2. During the fall, the P.E. classes go swimming at the city pool. Mr. Harshbarger gives Curtis Mumaw a little help into the pool, while Willie Reavis and Paul White look on. 3. Building muscles is an important part of physical education. Jimmy Stewart. Don Corbin, and Rudy Voldrich are learning to utilize the equipment, while developing certain muscles. 4. Team sports develop sportsmanship and teamwork. Ronnie Doll and Jon Mcrtz, WHS freshman, practice skills in basketball as Mr. Holmes, freshmen P.E. instructor, supervises. Driver’s Education Driver's Education is a class that teaches students how to drive. Each day four to five students drive with a trained instructor. At first they start out slow and easy, learning about how the car handles. From there they become more at cast and more confident about their driving skills. During the winter, the students learn how to drive in the snow and ice. This is an experience that one never forgets. It teaches each person the right and wrong ways of driving in hazardous conditions. Toward the end of the year each student learns how to park downtown and how to parallel park. Then the students learn how to drive a bus. The basic purpose behind this is to teach each student how to handle a vehicle with a clutch. Driving is not the only thing done in Driver's Ed. On Fridays, the class usually takes a test or goes over a chapter in the book. This allows the instructor a rest from his other hectic days. 1. It is important that the instructor is near the student in case problems arise. Mr. Brown instructs Dale Thomas the proper way of parking the car. 2. Classroom studies are part of the Driver’s Education grade, also. Stephanie Yonning seems to be enjoying the chapter in her manual. 3. Not all students find studying easy. Lorey Smith. Carla Roudybush. Peggy Sender, and Jan Walsh decided that conversing is a good way to break the monotony of the Driver’s Ed. study hall. 4. Driving a car is not the only thing taught in Driver’s Ed. Here Dale Thomas. Carla Roudybush. Lorey Smith. Peggy Sender. Mr. Brown, and Stephanie Yonning are learning about the engine of an automobile. 16 SCIENCE: Learning By Doing The Science department's philosophy is to learn by doing. “I hear and forget, I see and remember, I do and understand, stated Mr. Riblett after being selected Kansas Teacher of the Year. His 14-year career at Wamego and his other teaching experiences have resulted in state and national honors from all fields of science and education. 1. Mr. Callender. Biology and lab science teacher, is completing his third year of teaching at WHS. 2. Dale Hirsch is programming a computer in Senior Science with Mr. Riblctt’s help. The programs convey to the student the practical applications of the computer. 3. Becky Peters is determining the freezing point depression of the acetamide chemical while under Mr. Riblctfs supervision. Various impurities are added to the acetamide to lower its freezing point. . . . experimenting 1. Kirt Barker and Jimmy Boggs. WHS freshmen, measure the pressure of water. 2. Willie Rcavis is determining freezing point in third-hour chemistry. VO AG 1. R. Nehring, R. Warren, and E. Sylvester, WHS seniors, cut pieces for their projects during sixth hour Vo-Ag IV. 2. B. Cowan, Vo-Ag III student, welds a side for his trailer with the new mig welder. 3. E. Sylvester repairs the family tractor for this year’s Vo-Ag 111 project. The Vocational Agriculture program is set up on a four year course of study. Ideally, freshmen are to enroll in Vo Ag I and continue the step-by-step enrollment so that the student can complete the program in four years. However, upperclassmen do enroll in Vo Ag I and complete as much as they can. Subjects studied relate to production agriculture and agribusiness. All activities and projects are aimed to help the student succeed in their chosen field of farming,, agribusiness, or any other field. Communications in agriculture is very important and many activities are centered around speaking, parlimentary law, public 18 relations, and community service. Industrial Arts is a semester course that intro- duces students to basic welding, then they can continue into Welding I II. The students in Industrial Arts I make a sheet metal boxc and a galvanized metal funnel. They also pour an aluminum casting of molten metal and learn five basic welds. In Welding I the classes do different types of welding exercises. They learn about different welding positions: flat, horizontal, vertical. They also learn the use of many types of rods: arc electrodes, oxy-acetylene, timgsten-inert gas, metalic inert gas, and soldering. 1. After the class-work, cleanup follows; J. Fcldhauscn takes his turn at it. 2. Completing a metal project often includes grinding the parts to the right size. J. Elder utilizes the small grinder for this task. 3. P. Simmer and S. Bennett work on a trash can in metals class. 19 Shop The Woodworking program at WHS is geared for all students at all levels of ability. The WHS shop is equipped with some of the finest hand tools and machines that are available. A student has much to gain by entering the woodworking program. Students learn about building materials, various wood processes, and methods of construction that will prove to be a valuable education when the student becomes a consumer. A foundation for a career in woodworking can be started in WHS shop classes or a life-long hobby can begin. The WHS woodworking program is a program based on “learning by doing. ’ MECHANICAL DRAWING Emphasis is placed upon communication in the WHS drafting classes. Developing a student’s ability in freehand and mechanical drawing enables him to communicate his ideas through the language of drafting. This class is invaluable to the person who plans to take other industrial arts classes such as woodworking or metals. It is quite useful to persons who intend to pursue careers in the trades, architecture, or design. Drafting is also valuable to the person who is interested in general education. Drafting helps form basic knowledge of industry and the trades from a consumer's point of view. Got some exciting ideas? Start with drafting! 1.

Beth Uhlrich concentrates on making her drawing exact with the help of drawing tools. 21 Debate: An Unknown Venture 22 “Debate is a venture into the unknown. Sounds unsupportable? It is not. Each year high school students have a new resolution to be debated and, surprisingly, few know much about the topic to begin with. There is no way to tell what affirmative cases will be or how the negative will support the status quo, but at the year’s first tournament it all seems to be laid out. The unknown becomes known. The entire process is controlled by the debater alone. How can such a process occur? A debater gathers and collects data, assimilating this information into an affirmative approach and a negative defense, often extemporaneously. The skill acquired, therefore, is in discovering the known from any unknown, and then being able to present the data in a reasoned format. Mark Kapfer, WHS debate coach. During the 1979 season, twenty-one invitational tournaments and regionals were attended by WHS debaters. Each debater attended at least three tournaments. Almost every weekend debaters were up by at least 6:00 a.ni., preparing for travel to exhilarating days of exhausting mental competition. For a full semester twenty-two bright, talented, WHS men and women faced tough competition, and many times came home with the rewards of their hard work: victory! 1. Researching is an important part of debate. Pat Rafferty and Mr. Kapfer look through note cards, while Marjean Garrett cuts articles from the newspaper. 2. Jane Smith, regional team’s first negative, pre- pares to leave school for a Friday afternoon tournament. 3. 1970-80 Debate Squad: Bottom row (L to R) R. Glover. E. Rowley. T. Rafferty, D. Shea.

The staff had very little experience, so much of the first nine weeks was spent learning to write good copy, design attractive lay-outs, and apply journalistic terms. As the year progressed, skills were developed and confidence grew. It was a growing experience for all, in many ways. Not only did staff members learn how to apply the basic rules of journalism and meet deadlines; they also learned the importance of understanding the views of others and working together to make a project a success. 25 Wa-Kaller Experiences Alterations KSSS W V-K I'l'limi I - - « o' ’ Under the direction of a new teacher, Mrs. Barbara Fanshier, the newspaper staff produced a publication, the Wa-Kaller, which was distributed regularly to the entire student body. The Wa-Kaller underwent typing, printing, and layout changes, which improved the readability of the student paper. Many of Mrs. Fanshier's newspaper and Journalism I students attended a journalism conference at Kansas State University in September. After the conference they were treated with tickets to the afternoon K.S.U. football game. The newspaper staff also toured the Wamcgo Times office to sec how a larger publication is produced. “The students' work this year is improving and growing. They are proud of the publication they are producing, commented Mrs. Fanshier. 1. The pride of the newspaper staff: editions of the Wa-Kaller. 2. Mrs. Fanshier. Dallas Hasenbank, and Kelly Meadows, second semester editors, put finishing touches on an edition of the school newspaper. 3. The 1979-80 newspaper staff: (L to R) M. Carroll, B.

Angeloszek, A. Etienne, B. Uhlrich. J. Ledcboer. 4. Mrs. Fanshier performs an essential task in constructing a newspaper: typing. There was a positive, fresh, new attitude throughout the student body this year. Though the Stu-Co had initiative problems they were often representative of this new attitude. Many times the question “Why doesn’t Stu-Co ever do anything?” has arisen. While it is easy to understand this view, it is also important to realize Stu-Co has strict limitations on what they are allowed to do. Their main job is to represent the student body and work within the boundaries set by the administration. This year the Stu-Co held a V-100 dance, sponsored two cross country concession stands, cleaned the class pictures on second floor, and had a campus clean-up day when they picked up trash around the high school. Mr. Harshbarger, sponsor, had this to say, “My feelings as sponsor are and will continue to be: to impose upon the members that if given a responsibility, no matter how small or large, how they take that responsibility will dictate any larger responsibilities in the future for students. We have too many students wanting something for nothing and I would hope that Stu-Co could help change this outlook. The solutions would be for all members (representatives and officers) to do the job they were elected for. Talk at class and club meetings, get input, bring it back, and then Stu-Co can sort out and implement. Stu-Co members need to work with the administra- tion instead of against. Students must be positive about their job and work within the school rules and boundaries for overall success and accomplishment”. 28 1. Members Nancy Stucvc.

Particularly attractive spirit signs and team member locker posters have been made and displayed this year. WHS halls were also colorfully decorated before each home game. The football homecoming parade and dance, and the athletic banquets were organized and sponsored by Spirit Club. Credit goes to the Spirit Club for organized cheering at every game or match. A new point system for those who were interested in Honor Pep was also enacted this year. 1. Vrcnda Pritchard. WHS mascot, concentrates on a football game. 2.

The cheerleaders of '79 devoted their time and talent and contributed to the reviving spirit of WHS. For the first time in the history of WHS, cheerleaders were not selected by the student body. Since only a limited number of girls signed up for the responsibility, those girls went on to fill the role of cheerleaders at WHS. The cheerleaders attended a camp at the University of Kansas in the fall. They learned new cheers at the camp and led the Spirit Club during football, basketball, and wrestling events. The cheerleaders also colorfully decorated the halls of WHS with streamers and posters to support the athletes before a game. In addition, they led a spirited student body at all pep rallies, including the annual snake dance. KAYETTES Kayettcs, in its second year at WHS. have shown what they expect to do in the years to come. This year Kayette girls washed windows of student cars, planned and pul on a banquet for the 80 members and their mothers, and sang carols in the halls of WHS. One particularly interesting program featured a foreign exchange student from Taiwan. The Kayectcs pledge states their goals: “I will, as a member of Kayettcs. endeavor to maintain the high ideals of my organization, to make my personality a positive influence in the life of my school and my community, to understand the preeminent power of a vital religion, and to help pass on to future members an organization which will be a source of joy and satisfaction .

NATIONAL FFA SAFETY FBLA The band “Sceptre” provided the music for the FBI.A March of Dimes dance. The net proceeds of SI20 were given to this worthy organization. The FBLA carnival was complete with clowns, a fortune teller, fish pond, ring toss, bake and craft sales, basketball toss, bean bag toss, balloon and darts, plenty of prizes, and various other tests of skill. The carnival was well attended. The SI20 raised was given to the Wamego Nurses Association for the purchase of new hospital equipment. For money-making projects, FBLA members sold 1980 wooden wall scroll calenders and two-year plan- ner books. The sales proved to be very profitable. A Christmas record dance was held at the high school. Jim Burgess provided the entertainment for the evening by acting as D-J. The FBLA members attended the regional confer- ence at Sacred Heart High School in Salina. Wa- mego came home with it’s share of awards.

It was lacking in size, but not in spirit. As money- making projects the club sold posters to students and the community. They were going to sell gummi bears, but since selling candy was banned at WHS this year, they didn't. Other traditions of WHS Spanish Club and German Club were kept. Language Club supported an orphan in Mexico and had a party for the second graders on December 17, 1979. During this party, the second graders were taught some words and phrases in Spanish, then refreshments were served. W-Club Promotes Spirit Twenty-three members survived the annual W-Club initi- ation November 19. 1979. As W-Club grew in number, they also excelled in pride. The goals of the club were to create togetherness and organization among members of the stu- dent body Individual involvement created community and school awareness and resulted in an overall improvement of sportsmanship and teamwork during the school year. From the last of August until the middle of January, W- Club members worked hard to regain school spirit and initi- ate some pride. 1 The 1979-80 W-Club officers: (L to R) Ron Nehring, President: John Dyer, Vice-President: Rhonda Ebert. ; Secretary; Ron Trudo, Stu-co Rep.: Stuart Braden.

The heartbreak of the season came at regionals when Wamego lost to Marysville in semi-final action. The varsity squad ended the season with a 9-8 record and a tic for third in NCKL play. Wamego compiled a 3-3 league record and tied with Abilene. Jeanne Schmidt. WHS senior, was voted MVP. Beth Uhlrich received MIP. The freshman team finished with a 5-2 record. They were undefeated until the October 20 Manhattan Jr. High Tournament. Nancy Hedrick captured the MVP vote. Winning and losing are part of the ups and downs of competing. The 1979 volleyball season had its share of both. From the joy and sadness of shared team efforts came friendship and togetherness. 1. The 1979 volleyball team: (I. to r.) bottom row: M. Garrett. B.

The 1979-80 tennis season started on a hot summer day in August. None of the girls knew what the season would bring. Goals were set, rackets strung, and shoes worn out. The first meet for the team was the Wamego Invitational. In this meet the team look third place. No. I doubles team. Belinda Bcllinder and Laurie Herman, took second place after playing a close match with Abilene: losing 7-5, 3-6. 6-4. No. 2 doubles team, Kathy Fechtcr and Rhonda Ebert, took fourth place. In No. 1 singles Jodi Johnson look second place and No. 2 singles. Lisa Ebert, took third place. The rest of the season proved to have it's ups and downs. Many changes were made. The No. 2 doubles team of Kathy Feebler and Rhonda Ebert was changed to Lisa Ebert and Rhonda Ebert. This change turned out to be successful. Rhonda and Lisa ended their season with a third place finish at the league meet. After the change in the No. 2 doubles team Kathy Fechtcr became the No. 2 singles player. She proved herself successful as she took first place at the league meet. Kathy was unable to participate in the regional meet because of an injury. Jannis Mattson also played No. 2 singles in three meets. The highlight in Jannis's season was a first place finish at Baldwin. Three girls qualified for slate this year. Jodi Johnson's fourth place finish at rcgionals qualified her. At slate she was beaten in the first round by the No. 2 seated player. Belinda Bellindcr and Laurie Herman also qualified after capturing a first place finish at regionals. At state Belinda and Laurie saw victory in the first round over Kingman but were defeated by Lyons in the second round. This year history was made on the team. Two freshmen. Jill l.ang and Pal Rafferty, became the first freshmen to be part of the junior varsity team. Jill and Pat played No. 2 doubles, where they placed second in two out of three of their meets.

Even though only one game was won many other victories were experienced. Wamego High School and the community supported and encouraged a new coach and a new attitude that overcame the feelings of the previous year's 0-9 season. The boys weren't big and they weren't fast but they had desire and drive. Growth was evident all season and WHS fans were pleased with the team's honest effort. 2.

Throughout the 1979- 80 season the Girls’ Basketball Team experienced a lot of disappointments. The team lacked height but not spirit. During the sub-state championships, the Raiders made an excellent showing. The number one team in the state — Perry-Lecompton — was surprised by the Raider determination, as the Raiders closed within seven points of victory during the third quarter. Even though the Raiders ended the season with a 0-18 record, no one was crushed emotionally or spiritually, for they gave their best. ■llllfc 1.

This was the typical Raider spirit that failed to subside even though the win-loss record would have justified giving up. You don't have to win games to learn or grow in some way. We didn't win any varsity basketball games this year but the team showed a perserverance that wouldn't quit. That mature attitude justified our feelings: “We love you Raiders — win or lose. 1. 1979-80 Varsity Red Raider Basketball Team: (I. to r., top row) R. Kastner, R. Anderson. B. Straub. R.

They lost only three games after the slow start and ended with a good 9-7 record. Strong junior and sophomore athletes made up the team; their return next year to the varsity squad should improve Wamego’s chances for success in 1981. 1.

The freshman boy’s basketball season ended with a 0-13 record and a lot of sad faces. “The team always gave a tremendous effort”, Mr. Callender said. “We seemed to to improve steadily through the year.” Although they lost, the freshmen never gave up. They played their best while parents watched on and gave moral support. You’re always a winner as long as you keep trying, and that’s exactly what the freshman team did. 1. This year’s freshmen had a bad time with all of the other schools being considerably taller. The squad was (L to R) Mr. Callender, coach; R. Doll. K. Brummett, T. Tauer, C. Britton, J. Barry, J.

Six seniors, nine juniors, three sophomores, and three freshmen participated this year. Out of these pioplc five qualified for state: Brad Wcilert, 105 lbs.; Dennis Wilson, 112 lbs.; Russ Pitney, 119 lbs.; Dan Shea. 126 lbs.; and Curtis Mumaw, 155 lbs. Of these, Weilcrt earned third in state competition with a 28-2-1 record. The other four failed to place; however, four of the five state contenders will return next year. Mumaw was the only senior going to state tournament. Coach Brown’s previous wrestling experience showed in his first year of coaching at WHS; his team compiled the second best wrestling record in WHS history. Perhaps some of this was also due to the cheerleaders who, according to Coach Brown, did a “super job”. 1. Ron Trudo, 167-pound senior, puts the moves on a Concordia wrestling opponent. 2. John Etienne, 145-pound freshman, and Dan Shea. 126-pound junior, warm up before wrestling practice. 3. Changes were experienced this year with a new coahcing staff.

Pictured here are many of the present WHS wrestlers when they were in the junior high school wrestling program. Tracksters Break School Records The 1980 boy’s track season was characterized by a talented two-mile relay squad, a successful sprinter, and two high-jumpers that soared. The two mile relay squad consisted of Pat Wor- rel, Robbie Bennett, Ryan Hendricks, and Chris Barnes. The squads finest performance was at the regional meet where they turned in a time of eight minutes and ten seconds and qualified for the state competition. Ron Nehring established school records in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Due to illness Ron was unable to complete in the NCKL meet where he surely would have made a fine showing. The high-jumpers offered Les Platz and Ryan Hendricks the opportunity to exhibit their abili- ties. Les successfully cleared 6’1 Vi”, his personal best in the high-jump competition. Ryan fol- lowed with a beautiful jump of 6’2” at the region- al meet where he placed first. Les and Ryan both qualified for the state meet. Dan Winsor turned in his finest performance of the season running the mile at the regional meet. Dan ran the race in four minutes and thirty-seven seconds, placed third, and also qualified for state.

Due to inadequate facilities, the team ran over distance on country roads, in the City Park, at the Wamego Municipal Airport, and at night they went to St. Marys to use their track. Then came the rainy season. The weather turned against the team and four track meets were postponed and one cancelled. During this time the girls used the high school auditorium and halls for their practice field. Inadequate facilities didn't handicap the team because 50% of the girls participated in rcgionals: Tyra Rogers in the 1600 meter, Cheryl Holz in the shotput and discus, Sandra Dcaring in the 400 meter, Nancy Stueve in the 3200 meter, Brenda Spence in the 100 and 200 meter, and Sara Abraham in the 1600 meter. The majority of the girls ran their personal best. Sandra Dcaring set a new school record in the 400 meter with the time of 63.4. Sara Abrahm also broke the mile record that had been set last year by Tyra Rogers with a run of 5:33.3. I Girls can only pose so long before they react to the camera. 2.

(The ten member team was young with only three returning letter people.) Inexperience didn’t discourage or detour the team. This year’s best performance was recorded at the quality NCKL league meet which was held at Concordia. However, the Raiders foundthat even their best performance of the season only placed them in sixth place. Wamego was honored this year by being asked to host the class 4A Regional Tournament. Unfortunately no one qualified for state competition but a successful tournament was managed by Coach Michael O’Leary and his team. Netters Experience Good Year 1. No. 1 singles player and state qualifier, Bart Stewart, and No. 2 singles player, Randall Schubert. These two players were the only seniors on the team this year. 2.

This year was not supposed to be one of the better years for the Raiders, but in the first three meets they took first place. At regionals No. 1 singles, Bart Stewart, and the No. 1 doubles team of Dan Holmes and Ron Kastner qualified for state. This was probably the highlight of the season. Mr. Holmes, WHS tennis coach, looks anxiously to the next year when Dan Shea who was injured in wrestling and could not participate this year and Archie Johnston, transfer student, will add strength to his returning team.

It is composed of twelve girls. Many hours throughout the summer and school year arc spent practicing and polishing routines learned during summercamp at Rock Springs. Mr. Jim Jones, band director, trained the girls to perform with the band as a flag team during football season. Money making projects consisted of sponsoring a car smash at the 4th of July carnival, assisting the recreation commission sponsor two ice cream socials at the city park, and assisting the Wamcgo Chamber of Commerce serve the annual Farmers’ Night supper. The majority of the money earned paid for a new sound system to be used during basketball season. Routines performed this season were: Mork and Mindy, Rubbcrband Man, Lady of Spain, Disco Inferno, Walbash Cannonball, Sergeant Peppers, Good Times. Happy Radio, The Entertainer, and That’s Entertainment. Kim Ethington and Anita Buchanan, WHS Seniors, served as co- captains this year. 1. Eight Drill Team members attended camp: A. Buchanan, B.

It is a time for many changes: dating perhaps for the first time; building a class float, making friends with upper classmen, learning to drive, and of course, dragging mains. It also brings on added responsibilities: getting a job, learning to organize, trying to view the world as an adult, and not always liking what one sees. It is many things. But perhaps most of all, it is a beginning. 1. Ruth Spohn and Nancy Manly research in the library for Mrs. Rush's freshman English Class. 2. Lorey Smith.

We didn’t show the world a cure for cancer and none of us were test tube babies; we didn’t have any superhuman academic or athletic abilities; but it was our year and the memories of 1979-80 will last. Three hundred sixty students, 45 faculty and staff members, six janitors, our parents and relatives, the school board, the townspeople ... were all a part of our year. We were a different type of peo- ple working in the same environ- ment to advance our education. High school is more than learning reading, writing, and arithmetic. It is a place to grow and mature, build friendships, set values, be- come independent, and meet in- teresting people. Freshman year — scared, mixed- up from the change in lifestyle; trying to figure out why every- thing is so different. Sophomore year — the dead year: you aren't an underclassman, and you aren’t an upperclassman; you float from clique to clique trying to find yourself. Junior year — your mind starts spinning with upperclassman thoughts, but there’s still the secu- rity of high school, family, and friends. Senior year — a daze developes, or an ego trip, or a bottle, and we start asking the question ‘Is there life after high school?' We wonder where we are going and what we are going to do the rest of our lives. All of us will remember the things we were a part of, the special friendships that we made, and the times that we shared.’’ Thanks WHS, Beth Uhlrich Assistant Editor 102 TZ—Kiwi-; ----------------------------- KANSAS TEACHER OF THE YEAR The prlcle of WimccjoHigh Mr. Riblcti. 14-year WHS science tacher, was named Kansas Teacher of the year on November 14. 1979.

FLOATING TO A VICTORY This year’s HOMECOMING began Monday, October 15, with a week of spirit ahead. During the week classes used their artistic abilities, team work, and energy to create floats. On Friday the annual homecoming parade was one of the biggest. Floats were entered not only by classes but also businesses. Downtown windows were also painted for the festive occasion. Sophomores won the float competition with “Flying High With Raider Spirit,” the juniors were second with “Our Spirit Is Sky High,” and the freshman placed third with “Raiders Best Overall.” The football players’ moms got into the “swing of things” by wearing their sons’ numbers and riding on the back of a truck. The night was topped off by Rhonda Ebert being crowned Homecoming Queen during halftime of an exciting 13-8 victory over Effingham. 1. Members of the football team ride in homecoming parade. 2.

The audience fell into a state of hilarious disillusion watching the anecdotes of the Andrews family. As the analytic minds of planet Acquavarius directed C2B4U to capture a teenage specimen. Trish Andrews complained of her dull and boring life. Trish then witnessed the landing of the Acquavarius spaceship and. to the embarrassment of her parents, told the world about it. Her principal and a psychologist could not cure her emotionally disturbed mind. By the time C2B4L was to take Trish back to his planet, he had fallen in love with her, and in his confused state of mind captured her 78-year-old grandmother and returned her to Acquavarius. After the analysts tested the overly obnoxious supposed teenager, she was returned to earth, much to the joy of her family. Trish realized she. too. was in love with C2B4U and after a very passionate human kiss. C2B4U promised to return for her. 1.

The pit was packed on a brisk January night as the crowd cheered for the Raiders and eagerly awaited the crowning of the 1980 Homecoming Queen and King. The queen candidates — Kim Ebert, Christie Clark, Kathy Fechter, Tyra Rogers, and Belinda Belliner — were escorted to the basketball court by the king candidates — Randall Schubert, Ron Nehring, Carl Riblett, Ron Trudo, and John Dyer. The crowd fell silent as the announcer, Mr. Jim Kastner, proclaimed the 1980 Homecoming King and Queen: Mr. Ron Trudo and Miss Kim Ebert.

During the Christmas season the Choraliers made the annual WIBW-TV appearance.

The music performed by the concert band left its mark in the minds of all who appreciated well-performed music. Three concerts were given and the group competed at the state festival. At the first concert in February, the fifty-member ensemble performed classical and folk music written by such artists as Bach and Spears. The band then jumped from classical to contemporary music for the Spring concert. Popular music such as MacArthur Park and Sounds of the Carpenters was played. The last performance presented to the public was at the open house in May. All of the long hours of practice and late-night rehearsals seemed worth the effort to the students and director. Jim Jones, because all the performances were well received by the public. 1. The concert band at their winter concert. 2. Clarinets Brenda l.ichtcnhan.
