The yearbook staff chose “Scramble” as the theme for the '87 BLUEJAY. The reason for choosing this title is quite obvious. Look around the halls; everywhere you looked someone was scrambling one way or another whether it was trying to get to class or trying to make that extra point in a game. Another reason for choosing “Scramble” as our topic was the size of the yearbook staff: A total of four including the teacher; and believe me, “Scramble is the appropriate theme!

Seniors At Work, Rest And Play Seniors Seven seniors work as teacher aides. They type letters and tests and they also grade papers. Two seniors pick up daily absentee slips. Other seniors are serious about sports like football, basketball, track, cross country, and tennis. There are those who like to lie around in class or do nothing. Shannon Rich, Elizabeth Fellers, and Brad Salyer obviously do not have enough to do at the end ot Psychology class. Does the thumbs-up sign mean they just Aced a test? Rogena Strang acts surprised when caught hunting for her friends to sign her 1986 annual. Shauna Betschart picks up the absentee slips at the beginning of last hour class for use by the office to record absences in second through seventh hour classes. Elizabeth types file folder labels as part of her teacher aide duties to earn a half credit towards graduation. 4 Seniors FAR LEFT: Brad Salyer — Thumps up! Ashland High School is A-OK!

Money making projects like cheese sales and basketball concession stand; sports such as basketball, football, track, cross-country, tennis, cheerleading, and weightlifting; activities like the all school play and dinner theatre take up much of the seniors’ time. Another activity that seniors “major in” is goofing off.

IF F n i Sunoijr Juniors feel scrambled in many ways. They have moneymaking projects like football concession stand and magazine sales that keep them on their toes. They also have to organize the banquet and prom, and select their class rings. In addition to sports, moneymaking projects, and activities, juniors seem to be able to have a lot of fun. BELOW: Juniors seem totally confused. They can’t decide which ring to select. This is just one of the many decisions the juniors have to make during the year.

Senior player Barry Park, during play at Ashland's annual Fun Day May 8, doesn't let the cast on his left arm hamper him from helping his team place 4th. Barry's injury occurred during football season. He quarterbacked the team, guiding them to Regional playoffs and a 7-4 season record. Barry uses his injured arm, trying to get more power on the ball. During basketball season, Larry, a starter for every game, was not allowed to wear his cast during play on the court: he wore it at all other times. Coach Dwight Roper (top, center) worked with seven young men during tennis season. Ashland’s 1 doubles team, Barry Park (senior, standing, second from left) and Doug Rich (junior, standing, right) went all the way to State. “The boys played well,” said Roper, especially when you consider there were only three 1A schools playing at Hays. Cherryvale, a 3A school, beat them 7-6 after a 9-7 tiebreaker; and Hesston, also 3A beat them 9-4.

He is moving to Cimarron for the 1987-88 school year. ABOVE: Members of the staff are Ryan Brun- Now you can see for yourself why ‘‘scram-holtz, Deidra Maggard, and Laura Stevens. ble’’ was chosen for the theme. The annual class attended the Dodge City yearbook conference and learned many things about putting a yearbook together. This whole year, they worked very hard but had a lot of fun in the process. On the way home from Dodge. Deidra and Laura seem to be all wrapped up in the production of this annual. ABOVE: Ryan. Laura, and Deidra all watch anxiously as Ms. Anna Jean Wilson shows them how to load and operate a camera, one of many things learned. In addition, they loaded their film from bulk, took pictures, developed film, filed negatives, selected and printed pictures, designed the pages, and proofread them as the proofs came from the publisher. FAR RIGHT: Tonya Ediger models a modern-day space suit during the National Aeronautics and Space Agency program (NASA). RIGHT: Deidra. Ryan, and Laura seem to be having a lot of fun while they demonstrate how they stick together through thick and thin.
