HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1987 In September of 1987 sixteen of the cutest kids joined together to become the Kindergarten class of Wauneta Public School. These kids were Brad Yost, Gene Winscot, Anita Wheeler, Joni Travis, Chris Meints, Samantha Martin, Lori Maddux, Kelly Kitt, Kellie Krausnick, Lynnette Lawson, Shaun Ingold, Laurie Fraser, David Eberhardt, Bryan Dizmang, Mac DeHart, and Dan Cameron. They were excited to have Mrs. Prior and Mrs. Hohl teaching them the things they had heard so much about on Sesame Street. Even though they were divided into two different groups, they always found time to get together and play pilgrim. The class moved on to the first grade without Shaun or Laurie, who decided they were bored with Wauneta, but Dan Baker helped to fill the space. In the first grade the youngsters had their first tries at romance. Mrs. Creger taught them how to write letters and to play seven-up. The fifteen kids were joined by Staci Wood and Jesse Bryer as they entered Mrs. Fortkamps second grade class. The students enjoyed second grade the most on Fridays when they were allowed to get out the colored chalk and create beautiful pictures. They were also fond of the nibble bucket. As the students entered the third grade Jesse left them and Staci informed them she liked second grade too much to leave. The third graders were pleased to meet their four new classmates; Sam Trotzke, Trent Minneman, Virginia Copeland, and Kevin Brott. The class enjoyed Mrs. Applegarths spelling contests, games of elimination, and the bike hike. The new fourth graders were sorry to say good-bye to Kellie, who was spending the year in Conneticut, and Sam T. They did meet a new character named Chris Johnson. Mrs. Petch tried to keep the young and the restless under control, but they rebelled when she refused to give them an afternoon recess. The students went on strike refusing to do any work and created such a sight with their picket signs that the Breeze was called in. Under the supervision of Mr. Lauhead the class seemed to mellow. Also the homecoming of Kellie and the addition of Sheryl Weber helped. The class was into disco that year and practiced their moves to their favorite song Knock on Wood. The class also worked on a remote control airplane which never got off the ground. As sixth graders they felt honored to have their own lockers. They were so well liked that they were invited on the eighth graders trip to Wyoming. Unfortunatly, only the sixth and seventh graders went. The trip was enjoyed by all except Kevin who accidently got his finger smashed. The class said good-bye that year to Chris J., Chris M., and Gene. As seventh grade started Sheryl moved away at the same time Matthew Heskett, Richie Wickizer, and Shari Jones move in. In Jr. High the students were allowed to pursue their sports interests in football, volleyball, basketball, and track. As the students were opening their minds to new ideas, Kellie Krausnick and her family were tragically taken from them by a plane crash. The class will always remember Kellie and the good times. Richie moved away as the class moved to eighth grade. The students kept busy by tormenting their various teachers until the time of eighth grade graduation. Their colors were rainbow and the song was Truly. At the end of the school year they were hauled out and painted with lipstick to signify their coming into high school. As Freshman they met their newest class members, John Lovenburg and Eric Broadbent, while they said good-bye to Shari. Together they experienced their first tries at big time sports, typing, welding, driving, and high school tests. The Sophomore class was really getting it together as they received their class rings. The students said good-bye to Virginia, and John also left to pursue his military career. Ten of the students were dressed like pirates that year to please the prom goers. The fourteen students moved up to being Juniors, and as they moved up, so did their goals. One of their main goals was raising enough money for prom. The goal was reached and prom went smoothly. The year 1987 at last arrived for the fourteen eager students. Ten of the original students stayed until the class's final day. Each of the students will remember the others in different ways, but all will remember the lunches at the pub, the cruising of main, the teachers wit and wisdom, the defeats, and victories. They are now prepared for the future and each will find their dream. STANBAR ANIMAL HOSPITAL SANDY'S COUNTRY FORD
