Ashland High School Ashland, KS 67831 Volume 36 The first school in Ashland opened about the first of October 1885, and continued for several weeks. As it was a subscription school, it had to close for awhile. After a few weeks' vacation the school again opened in a building in south Main Street. In 1886 the people of Ashland realized the necessity of a public school. In September the children gathered in the old Methodist Church and two halls on Main Street, there receiving instruction. This arrangement was quite unsatisfactory so the question of a permanent building was discussed. On June 1, 1887, bonds for $5,000 were voted and carried. The contract was let to an Englewood firm, who with a number of carpenters, began to work immediately. The building was nearing completion and Ashland was assuming metropolitan airs, when on the evening of August 27, fire consumed the entire structure. In the spring of 1888, the building was again commenced on the same site and with the same plans but different materials; the first being built of wood while the second was of brick. School was opened in the fall of 1888, with W. L. Cowden as principal and an enrollment of 127 in 10 grades. The high school building vacated in 1963 was built in 1917 and first occupied some time during the school year of 1917-1918. This building accommodated as many as 185 pupils in the upper four grades with a curriculum which included Industrial Arts, vocal music as well as all the other formal studies in the arts and sciences. The shop, located west of the high school building, was occupied for school purposes in the fall of 1940. Lights for the football field were installed that year. Elm Grove Apartments are built on the site of the football field. The shop building, south of the apartment complex, housed the County Noxious Weed Department for a time. In January, 1957, the Bluejay band was honored by being invit- ed to play at the inauguration of Governor George Docking. About that time high school inspectors from the State Superintendent's office began to suggest that the Ashland High School building was inadequate and obsolete. It became clear in the spring of 1960 that nothing short of a new building would be sufficient to keep the local high school properly accredited. An election was held on October 25, 1960 where the voters approved by a 413 to 226 margin a bond issue of $850,000 to build and equip a secondary school. The main building includes 14 classrooms, a 6-room office complex, a library, cafetorium, and gym; outbuildings house art, shop and woods. Classes began in this building in 1963. Currently, it is used by 147 students. This is our record during Ashland's Centennial Year!

Ashland began to pioneer for its future 100 years ago, and today is still reaching ahead through town activities, school programs, and community services. Sponsors and officers led the way during the Centennial Year for the Senior Class by organizing activities and projects, which went towards a successful concluding year in high school.

McKinney Stuco Representative Stephanie Shaw At top, Sean looks excited about a rocket ride through the Homecoming parade on the senior float, but Rick Walker looks as though he may never make it. Above center, Stephanie read Update magazine, when assigned, during Government Class. Above, Russ McKinney working busily on his woods project, takes a moment to glance at the camera. Left, the Senior Class worked hard to make money enough to provide for a senior trip. Administration offered them the job of painting the north bleachers. Though they don't look too busy here, after many long hours after school and lots of painted clothes and bodies, the job did get completed. 3 Seniors Unite In Various Activities Mr. Horton's Government Class (top left) reads the assigned material before the quiz. Come on Tammy Reed (top right), don't play coy with us. Who? What? Where? David Connor (above) misses another play? Kim Feltner (right) looks guilty and is she? Seniors had a lot of decisions to make as a group such as selecting senior announc-ments, planning senior trip, and deciding on money making projects. The Speech II class did some of the more fun things, like David announcing one of the Junior High football games and Kim expressing her talents in the classroom. 4 Top left: Come on you guys (Karl Mosshart, Vaughn Fisher, and David Conner), you said you were going deer hunting. Is that what you call a deer? Above, Frank Long, class sponsor, and class officers Russ McKinney, Stuco representative (back to camera); Sean Smyth, secretary; Carisa Bothel, treasurer; Shawn Callison, president; Stephanie Shaw, Stuco representative; Angela Rich, vice president, with the help of Josten's representative Gary Casey find they are having a slightly harder time choosing senior announcements for the class to vote on than they anticipated. Don't look at me like that, Rick Walker (above right). Activities Bring Students Together The Seniors of 1984 have many cherished memories of being together: From colored building blocks in kindergarten, to the first reading book, to the big step of leaving grade school, to receiving eighth grade diplomas, to the first year in high school, to commencement exercises at graduation.

Seniors led very active lives their last year ranging from classroom work, to homecoming activities, to a tasting party, to opportunities to work in various clubs and organizations. Monday, November 28, 1983 approximately 75 people took part in the annual senior tasting party at the Veterans Memorial Building. Seniors brought a favorite food, which included a wide variety of potatoes, meats, breads, appetizers, drinks, salads, cookies and cakes of different flavors. Among other items offered were opportunities to buy fruitcakes of various sizes and a recipe book featuring the dishes prepared for the tasting party. The senior tasting party brought in a total of $334.80. Mr. Swanson (top). Senior Class sponsor, watches as Mary Steele and Carisa Bothell count and total up proceeds from their class's tasting party. Concentrating diligently until interrupted by a roaming photographer, Jackie Baker (center) finalizes her copy for the yearbook. Kim Feltner (below) apparently has no sto-mache for” the classical, high-fidelity music which Jennifer Prather enjoys. 8 In More Ways Than One Seniors (above) sit behind their foods at the tasting party.

Seniors made a 13-year exploration of varied class-room activities. The naive children have grown into young adults with the help of teachers and parents. They have learned as a group; pushing together, they accomplished a lot more than they would have as individuals pulling in different directions. Some seniors make use of Mr. Horton's Study Hall for catching up on the latest news about the test they plan to take next hour.

Stacey Lee Stebens Mary Jane Steele Rick Lee Walker Linda Jane Stein Mary Steele and Dedra York perform during the halftime show of the last home football game. One event that brought classmates together was inter-class competition of the Homecoming floats. Seniors had to learn to work with each other as equal partners. Together for 8 hours, 147 students needed outside activities such as football, band and Pep Club. Seniors take first place honors for their hard work on their float. Many hours of planning and designing assured them a running chance, and the school a great parade. Good job, seniors!!!! 11 Seniors Make It Happen . . . Debbie Reed (above) was caught deep in thought. Tammy Reed and Karl Mosshart (above middle) seem to have opposite feelings about Government class. Darren Osborn (above right) was caught when he wasn't looking, while Stacey Stebens asks Why are they taking that picture?'' Angela Rich (right) is cheering in the grandstand with the Pep Club during a football game; Darren Osborn (far right) pops and bags popcorn for A Club. 12 A Little Bit Of Everything Some of the things the seniors do in their last year of high school are serious and some are just pure fun. Kim Feltner (above left) asks Shawn Callison a question while Sean Smyth shows his choice of senior announcements. Shawn Callison (above right), Senior Class president, conducts a class meeting while Russ McKinney helps. Stacey Stebens and Vaughn Fisher (center left) stop a second from announcing a Junior High football game to say Hi.'

Clockwise beginning at top center Kim Feltner, David Conner, Jackie Baker, Darren Osborn, Karla Young, Karl Mos-shart, Debbie Reed and Vaughn Fisher. Dedra (left) shows her talent in band. The Class of '84 did a little bit of everything, from participating in the band, to studying in the library, to just plain being crazy. Seniors worked together to complete their projects such as the concession stand during basketball season, a tasting party, cake raffles, dinner theatre, and Friday night soc hops to make money for their senior trip. 14 Seniors At Their Finest The Class of '84.

Special thanks to Prairie Images for pictures of the Court and Crowning. 16 Homecoming Means Traditional Festivities Homecoming week has traditionally been a time for many class competitions. This year there was a powder puff football game, where sophomore and senior girls competed against the junior and freshman girls. Although it was a very competitive game, it ended in a tie 0-0. A theme is chosen every year for Homecoming week and this year it was A Passage Through Time ' During the week there were dress-up competitions which dealt with different eras in time: depression, future, reversal, any era, and blue and white day. Each day someone was chosen as best dressed and was to march in their costume at the parade. Highlighting all festivities though is the traditional float competition. Each class chooses an idea, which deals with the theme in some way. Not very often does a class win all four years they are in high school, but the class of 1984 proved it could be done. (1) The seniors' freshman year float won with what they called The Blue Machine. (2) Their sophomore year the theme was Movies, and their float won with Super J's. (3) Song Titles, was chosen as the theme their junior year and they won with Jays Are On Top of the World. (4) The float they chose their senior year featured past, present, and future. Past: the record between SWH, their opponent the last three years; Present: expectations of the evening's outcome; and Future: a rocket, which would explode into victory for the Bluejays. 17 Seniors Finish With Winning Season Senior football players pose without shoes due to a rainy day: defensive tackle, tight end; Rick Walker, offensive end, de- Vaughn Fisher, offensive end, corner back; Russ McKinney, fensive end; and David Conner, offensive end, defensive end. guard; Darren Osborn, guard; Stacey Stebbens, quarterback, Aaron Lind not pictured, safety; Karl Mosshart, tailback, defensive end; Sean Smyth, A-Team Scores Ashland vs. Quinter 14- 6 Ashland vs. Ness City 24-16 Ashland vs. Kinsley 26- 0 Ashland vs. Shattuck, Oklahoma 0-27 Ashland vs. Hugoton 14-40 Ashland vs. LaCrosse 6- 0 Ashland vs. Southwestern Heights 19- 6 Ashland vs. Dodge City Sophomores 50-21 District Play-off Ashland vs. Johnson 0-12 B-Team Scores Ashland vs. Greensburg 36- 0 Ashland vs. SWH 12-20 Ashland vs. Meade 20- 6 Ashland vs. Coldwater 48-24 Ashland vs. Cimarron 6- 8 Karl rushed 1,221 yards on 233 carries chalking up 16 touchdowns for the year.

David (at right) rebounds against Protection. Stacey Stebens (point guard) lettered two years. Rick Walker (baseline shooter) lettered three years. David Conner (post) received Iroquois League Honorable Mention and lettered three years. Senior boys showed discipline, dedication and positive attitudes throughout the season. They set a goal to go further this year than last year, which they accomplished by going as far as the second round of Sub-State. Shawn Callison (baseline shooter) received all Iroquois League Honorable Mention. This year's senior girls played with the will and desire to have a good season when the going got tough. They got together and pulled their way through to a winning victory. They were fairly successful shooters and had tremendous dribbling skills. Shawn trans-fered from Independance, Kansas as a sophomore. Because of Shawn's tremendous shooting, she became the team's baseline shooter. Shawn lettered three years. Angela participated four years and lettered three; and because of her height, Angela's inside shooting helped the scoreboard when the going got tough. Linda also participated four years and lettered three. Linda's leadership was very much depended upon by the other team members. Jackie participated three years and lettered two. Jackie's quickness gave her the ability to steal the ball from the opponents many times. Kim transfered from Spokane, Washington during her sophomore year and participated three years. Kim's support helped to keep spirits high. Jackie Baker (guard) was the outside shooter, and played half the season being the dribbler. Linda Stein (point guard) was the dribbler and substitute baseline position. Angela (post) received all Iroquois League Honorable Mention and unanimous selection first-team player. Kim Feltner substituted when needed. 25 Varsity Girls Receive Second Place Trophy The varsity girls once again had a successful season.

York 95 Ashland Celebrates Centennial The official Logo, chosen by the Centennial Committee, was the end result of two ideas submitted by Don Thomas. The logo reflects Ashland's heritage by depicting the impact of faith, family and farming on the community over the past century. The economic dependence on farming and ranching outlines the oval seal with the wheat heads and steer horns. An imaginative droplet is shown at the base of the oval, symbolic of the oil and gas development and income enjoyed by the community over the past few decades. It can also be symbolic of the sweat and tears of Ashland's early settlers as they endured many hardships. Most noticeable in the center of the oval is the church which stands for the strong faith Ashland residents have maintained — faith in a Supreme Being, faith in themselves and faith in the land. The father, mother and child indicate the continuing strength that family members have contributed to the community. The sun backdrop inside the logo oval represents a sunset on the past 100 years of Ashland's history and a sunrise for the future of the next 100 years.
