school life — senior fun Eighteen seniors and six sponsors went to the “Windy City” April 9-12 for the traditional senior trip. They took a school bus to Wichita, a chartered bus to Kansas City, then flew to Chicago. They toured the Sears Tower, Shedd Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry, and the Chicago Board of Trade. Seniors making the trip were Laura Stevens, Heather Moore, and Susan Harper (seated, front); Martha Jantzen, Matt Wilson, Amy Crane, Doug Rich, Maylene Freelove, Donna Osborn, Karen Isenbart, Jeff Berryman, and Barrett Broadie (second row); Sherry Suire Wyatt, Loran Luther, Keith Baker, Deidra Maggard, Richard Mosshart, and Gayla McKinney (top). Mr. and Mrs. Terry Eubank were the accompanying parents along with class sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Dean Schultz and Mr. and Mrs. Brian McVay. The Chicago skyline fascinated the “plainsmen.” Annual staff photographer Laura got herself in the picture along with Martha in the mirrored elevator at their motel. Donna and Deidra cut up as they wait for their plane; Keith, Jeff, Richard, and Barrett seem to engage in more serious conversation. Jeff Berryman and mother Sue, dressed in Roman fashion (above), hosted the annual senior brunch May 13. The Class Motto provided the theme for the event. Other senior mothers prepared the food, served on the terrace. Chan Berryman video taped the gathering. 29
