LITE METAL — The top- selling album of 1987, Bon Jovi's 'Slippery When Wet, sold 11 million copies, the largest-selling album ever in the metal category. TINY HEROINE — Eighteen-month-old Jessica McClure held on for two and a half days until rescuers freed her from the 22-foot abandoned well in Midland, Texas. FAREWELL FINAL BOW — Fred Astaire. 88. was called the greatest dancer in the world.' His innovative, elegant style graced the screen with many partners, including Ginger Rogers and Rita Hayworth. HOLLYWOOD LEGEND — Director and actor John Houston. 81, acted in 21 films and directed 41, including The Maltese falcon and The African Queen SHOWBIZ —The consummate showman. Liberate, 67, was famous the world over for glitzing up his concerts with furs, rhinestones and glowing candelabris. 2P 2261 292fi'l9£ (S16) 20099 'SX ‘wrpVi ■ W)£ 00S y6?fc, vevtyVt ■ w 2 uZoc£ei Ztfc Many changes occurred in the 1987-88 year, but the one that had everyone talking was the new rule that students could not sit on the floor in front of their lockers any- more. Senior Tracey Boldridge stated, I feel that it’s a stupid rule, because it was nice to be able to relax, and you can’t do that in a chair.” The rule itself was not hard to enforce, but many of the students disliked it. The rule does not solve anything anyway because the people just stand there instead of sitting,” stated senior Vicky Fitzpatrick. Seniors were not the only students with a view on the new locker policy. Kerry Rice, junior, said I hate it be- cause the people are in my way more standing up than they were sitting down.” Some of the sophomores agreed. Stacey Andre said, It’s stupid because sometimes you’re tired and you need to sit down, and you have been sitting in those chairs all day.” But many of the students view the rule in the same way as senior Janell Bey, ”1 think it is a good idea because before a great deal of problems were created because of people lying around on the floors and sitting in front of others’ lockers. A person was lucky if he didn’t have to jump over two or three bodies just to get to his locker, and after Finally reaching his locker he was lucky if someone wasn’t sitting in front of it, usually causing him to be late for class. It was also a good idea because someone could get hurt in the process. Upper left-Seniors Chipp Boldridge and Paul Kane wait patiently for their turn at their lockers.

Shoot for two. School spirit isn’t just going to the games and being with your friends. It’s supporting the teams, cheer- leaders, and pom-pon girls. There were many opportunities for students to show their spirit during the year. Spirit week took place from Feb. 7-12, and contest week was from Feb. 1-5. This week gave all classes a chance to show their spirit and see who had the most. I think spirit week will get every- one hyped up and hopefully that spir- it will last all year, said Shelley Mears, sophomore. Earlier in the year there was a chance to see who could make the best float, Homecoming. These two events helped spirit and showed the school pride at A.H.S., but why can’t all the games be like them? said Marsha Franzel, sophomore. S.A.

It's only natural for us to want to come out on top. But, as we all know, this isn't always the case. It takes a lot of work, cooperation from team- mates, and practice to be the best. Sometimes the disappointment and frustration one feels from losing can seem overwhelming. It's very impor- tant to keep in mind that it's not anyone's fault. It there is a winner there has to be a loser. Losing doesn't necessarily mean that one isn't good enough, it means that he pushed someone to try harder to beat him. I'm sure everyone's heard of the old saying, It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. This is true. It's important to keep your chin up. Nobody enjoys being around a sore loser. One should learn from his mistakes and apply his knowledge next time he is competing. One should strive to attain personal satisfaction. Once he has, then the next stop is to come out as a winner. 9 10 exc ituupe ctwte fruwt aCC over Atchison High has been lucky to be included in the foreign student exchange program. We received our first exchange student from Dussel- dorf, Germany in 1964. For the next nine or ten years, we had students from Norway, Thailand, Argentina, England, Italy, Australia, Spain, Leba- non, and Bolivia. We then didn't have another exchange student until ten years later in 1983. From 1983 to 1985, we had the chance to learn about life in Sweden from three girls who vis- ited from various parts of this coun- try. Once again we experienced a little life from down under” when Kim Stringer visited from Australia in 1986. Then this year we got the chance to learn about Brazil from Luiz Cardosa, who was this year’s ex- change student. As quoted by Tami Hord, Not only do I feel that this program gives us a chance to learn about various countries, it lets us make new and interesting friends; and who knows, if we stay in touch with these friends, maybe we could some day go and visit them in their countries.” So in many ways, we are lucky to be in- cluded in this program, and it is hoped that it will continue for a long time so other kids can experience our country as we can learn about theirs.

For some, this hap- pens quite often. We can distinguish each individual by his or her last name usually. But what happens when the first and last names are common? In smaller cities it is more likely for a person to have only the same First name, but in larger cities, it might be difficult to pick the person you want to call out of the phone book. When asked how she feels about having a common name, Stacey Schneider replies, I don’t like it when there are three or four people in a class with my name because it gets confusing. Maybe we should be as- signed numbers? Definitely not! I guess we should just accept and stick with our common names. -JM Upper left-A group of sophomore girls gossip dur- ing break Middle left-Seniors Debbie Estes and Tami Roberts wait for the morning bell to ring so they can go to class Lower left-Sophomore Angie Beien listens as she gets directions of how to layout a page in yearbook class.

'Hate frto t6c “ilteipfuf Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, librarians do have a sense of humor. However most of the time we have to hide it, or rudely laugh in our patron's face. Here are ten of the best excuses for not returning library ma- terial on time that had me biting my tongue. 1.1 went to Colorado and took the book with me, and I don't know where it is. 2. Oops! It's in my locker. 3. I lent my book to a friend. 4. George (don't remember if George was her dog or her baby brother) chewed the corner. 5. 1 am moving, so I packed my book in a box and I don't know which box it is in. and my mom won't let me unpack them to look. 6. We'll mail the book to you. 7. I spent the holiday with my fa- ther and left my book at his house. He lives in Chicago. 8. My mother is reading my book. 9.1 left the book in my desk in the English classroom and now it’s gone! 10. I don't remember signing that book out! But it sure looks like my signature.

Luiz Car- doso, the foreign exchange student said he was made to feel very wel - come while he was here. Other new students were recognized and made to feel at home, too. Theresa Worman, who moved here from Wisconsin, commented on the hospitality of the AHS students: I realize it must be hard for people to accept me because I'm different but they've been great at helping me adjust to the new school. While new students are being welcomed, old friends remain old friends”. Seniors Jerry Dudley and Adam Birch have been good friends since birth. Some of the crowds at Atchison High formed during high school, while some crowds have been just about the same since Kindergarten. Kristen Reno and Kilee Ligget, juniors, have been close friends since their grade school years at Franklin Ele- mentary School.

In fact, several seniors gave their reasons for working as a way to finance fun by earn- ing money for gas, movies and dinner out. Others worked to earn money for college or other training after graduation from high school. For DECA students’ work was their training for after graduation. One senior even claimed work was her way of avoiding boredom. Whatever the reasons, sen- iors at AHS spent many hours in the community serving its citizens while learning practical skills.

The AHS band played the proces- sional while prospective graduates entered the auditorium. George Beard, pastor for St. Mark's Lutheran Church, delivered the invocation. Following vocal selections by the AHS chorale, Vernon Howerton, pastor of the Church of Living Love, read the scripture and delivered a ser- mon. In the sermon, Reverend Howerton reminded students and their families of the gratitude they owe God and encouraged graduates to grow spiritually as well as intellec- tually after graduation from high school.

For most this is a realization that inspires joy and fear — joy at the thought of new freedom and fear at the thought of new responsibilities. Some students react to their upcoming freedom by retreating to childish ways, recognizing that these last few weeks are the last time they will be kids. Others spurn the fun and parties, in a last attempt to insure ad- mission to the college they have set their sights for or to cinch those grades for the scholarship they may need to attend college. Most also feel some sadness at the thought of leaving old friends whom they may nev- er see again. At graduation, these mixed emotions rise to the surface as students laugh, cry, and tremble at the thought of the new life they now begin.

Some people think you shouldn't hang around the same old crowd all the time. Yet, others believe in having a very best friend to be around almost 24 hours a day.” A person can't just pick somebody to be a best friend. It takes someone special to be a best friend. That per- son has to be someone whom you can trust to stand by you through ANYTHING. A true best friend wouldn't stab you in the back.” Becca Martin commented, Sa- brina Portenier and I have been pretty good friends for a long time. In fact, our mothers were best friends in ju- nior high high school. In January of 1988, my best friend and I got in a major fight. Sabrina was standing by me when that friend wouldn't. Then I realized just what a best friend was. Sabrina cared that I had a prob- lem and she helped me with it. Since that happened, we've become even closer best friends.” Above: Stacey Schneider takes a break while cheering in Highland.

Unfortunately those students are often ridiculed and are major targets for jealous people. Teachers' pets are looked upon as students who don't have to do anything but sit in class to get an A. Then too, they might be bookworms who supposedly study on Saturday nights. Becca Martin describes a teacher's pet as someone who never gets into trouble and who never gets marked tardy to class.” In reality there are a few kids who receive special treatment, but most of them are normal students who have prepared for class or have discovered the key to their teachers' hearts. On the other hand, some teachers' pets have worked hard and have earned the respect of their teachers. Perhaps a teacher may not really like a kid who is called a teacher's pet. but once that student has earned the teacher's respect, he must give it to the student. Although you may not like your teacher or the class there are a few ways to help you and your teachers to get along better. 1. Stop sleeping in class. 2. Take your books home and read them. 3. Do your homework 4. Ask questions if you don't understand the subject. 3. Bring your books to class. If you follow these guidelines and remember that teachers arc human, class will go smoothly for you. Another thing to remember is that teachers' pets are normal kids who want to have fun.

A t.v. series entitled CELEBRA- TION: U.S. CONSTITUTION was premiered in October of 1987. It was a series about how the Constitution came about. This was one way the Constitution was celebrated.

Bloomingdale’s sometimes runs promotions for the products of one state. Now they are doing Kansas. Doug Mellinger from the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs set up a meeting for them with the buyers from Bloomingdale's. Brian, Jon, and Fiaz met them at the capitol building in Topeka last fall. There were over one hundred twenty applicants and fifty-two companies were chosen. From March 2-6, they attended the ACE convention and tradeshow in Washington, D.C. As a result, three people in Canada as well as several people form Europe, the Bahamas, France, Miami, and the east and west coasts are interested in distributing Ice Whip. BoJaF Inc. received new packages Upper: Juniors Fiaz Zaman, Brian Grantham, and sophomore Jon Brackin. Lower: Juniors Kerry Rice from Sealright in Kansas City, which will be marketed in Atchison. The new packages helped with the pro- motion in Washington, D.C. Eventu- ally, BoJaF would like to ship its product overseas. Right now, the company is too small and the ship- ping process is too expensive. If Bo- JaF gets orders from other parts of the country due to the promotion at Bloomingdale's, the company will pay freight and ship the IceWhip through a frozen food shipping com- pany. Brian, Jon, and Fiaz say that they have made considerable progress in their business. Instead of running the business inside the home, they are running it from a downtown build- ing.

We've all experienced it to the max. Whether good times or bad, we ll al- ways remember our high school years. Some of us will remember the feeling of our first real date, or the first feelings of true love, or the feel- ing of being at our first big party. The thrill and excitement of winning the spirit week contest was captured by us all. The crowning of the King and Queen at Homecoming and Winter Festival activities enchanted the stu- dents and lifted their spirits to cheer the Redmen to victories. evAett . . .

Here are a few: In eighth grade Rodney Christensen passed out in the lunch line. Was it be- cause of the menu' Todd Alexander could always think back to Mr. Wilson's class and remember the trash can no one could ever put him in. Stacey Andre can still think back to those strange bruises' on her face. In 8th grade Stacey Metzger can still hear Brad Newkirk and Chris Robinson saying, ' We'll catch you, and then miss- ing her. Mr. Krone wasn't too happy. But will Christy Thurber want to re- member using Q.T. and looking like an orange i Many remember being hit with spoon- fuls of peas at lunch by Jennie Martin.

SofrJiOrtuy 'ted : Oun t ejear Many of the new sophomores were a little lost on the first day of the school year. For the first week, students may have seen a view unfamiliar faces pop into the room and say, Oops, wrong room! Or Where is Mr. Purdy’s room.'' But this year's sophomores made up an important part of the sports and clubs as well as school. Nineteen sophomores played foot- ball; nine played volleyball; two ran cross country; five performed with pon-pom; and six were cheerleaders. Sophomores enjoyed being treated more as adults at the high school. Jon Brackin said he liked the social activi- ties and the added freedoms and re- sponsibilities at AHS. Jennie Martin said, Everyone treated us with a little more responsi- bility than the people at the junior high did. Shelley Mears felt accepted and comfortable at AHS. I didn't feel like an outsider to the upper class- men. 1 didn’t think the grade really makes that much of a difference to them.

These are not familiar phrases for most stu- dents at AHS, but they are often heard by a small group of people in school, the band members. Under the direction of Michael Cole, the band enjoyed a very prosperous year. After many hours of practicing, the band received a second at full band contest in Kansas City. There were two en- tries in the Solo and Ensemble con- test held at Shawnee Mission. Junior Sara Bruce received a I on her flute solo and advanced to the state con- test. The brass quintet of sophomore Jennie Martin, and juniors Ed Dur- flinger, Theresa Gilliland, Rachel Shuck, and Theresa Worman received a II. The band has been increasingly active in the Atchison community. AHS participated in a co-concert with BC. They also toured area grade schools in hopes of recruiting future band members.

Greg Boldridge There are 40 Atchison High stu- dents of the total 350 students that attend Vo-Tech. They study and train in many different areas such as Data Processing, Drafting, Auto Mechan- ics. This year the Auto Body area has modernized its training with a new addition, called the Down Draft Paint Booth. The paint booth cost approxi- mately $50,000. The booth dries the car from the outside in a 180 degrees; the car bakes at 130-140 degrees for 30 minutes. It eliminates dirt and over-spray from the car, unlike the cross-flow paint booth the class had last year. So, in simple form, the car gets hot, the paint on the car gets hot, and it dries as one. The paint booth uses catalyzed paint. This paint releases poisonous fumes, which, if inhaled too much, can cause nervous disorders and res- piratory problems, so the student is required to wear protective glasses. Vo-Tech is using the paint booth for painting a car after they have fin- ished rebuilding it so it can be sold. They also fix other people's cars and charge them for only parts and mate- rials, and then if the person wants to donate for VICA (Vocation Industri- al Clubs of America,) they can. After graduating from the two- year auto class, which includes 2,180 hours of class time, students may qualify for numerous occupations such as: Unibody Correctional Tech- nician, Conventional Frame Straight- ener, Auto Body Painter.

Stu- dents spent the week of Oct. 12 creat- ing and building floats for their class. On Oct. 16, at the all-school assem- bly, the Golden Girls presented Herb Gwaltney, vice-principal and athletic director, with the third place trophy they had won at summer camp. After the presentation, the Golden Girls performed a flag routine and the cheerleaders performed to the school song. Then the 1987-88 Homecoming King, Jerry Dudley, was also an- nounced. After the assembly, students drove or walked downtown for the tradi- tional homecoming parade. The class floats were displayed and both the AJHS and AHS bands performed. The king and queen candidates and football team also rode in the float. That evening, the 1986-87 Home- coming Queen, Vicki Galley, crowned Janelle Myers, the 1987-88 Homecoming Queen, at the half-time of the Redmen, Benton Cardinals game. The Redmen lost the well- fought game to the Cardinals 14-7 in an overtime. But students picked up their spirits enough to attend the homecoming dance the next night in record numbers. Carol Burkman, sophomore class sponsor, said the 247 attending was the largest turnout she had seen since she has been at AHS. 84 Upper right: Mike Bewley and Cassy Cox have a conversation during a break in the music at the homecoming dance on Oct. 17.

Many people participated in the activities of spirit week. The lock- er area was decorated, and spirit post- ers covered the walls anywhere there was room for them. Almost everyone wore the designated clothing for each day of the week. Each educational department thought up a contest for students to compete in. For example, the English department had an epitaph contest for the opposing team. The business department had accounting and typ- ing contests. The most creative con- tests were the pinata-making, cookie decorating, and the craft-making contests. Each class put on a skit in front of the student body and the faculty. Each class yelled its own cheer and had a contest to see who could yell the loudest. The Juniors proved to have the most spirit of all at AHS. The Winter Festival King, Paul Kane, was crowned during an assem- bly on the Friday afternoon of Febru - ary 12, and the Queen, Rhonda Mink, was crowned during the basketball game that evening.

No other Redmen football team has advanced as far as these skilled play- ers. After winning district and bi-dis- trict competitions, the Redmen charged on into Sub-State, losing only by the score of 14-12 against Paola. One highlight in the '87 season included defeating Maur Hill by the score of 14-0. Until the November 21 game against Paola, the Redmen had won the past five games by shutouts. Redmen fans were becoming accus- tomed to such scores as 41 -0 against Marysville and 25-0 against Hayden. Five teams were non-scoring in their efforts against the Redmen. Both the offense and the defense were strong points in the past season. Much yardage was gained from inter- ceptions, diversions, and just plain quickness. Hard work and dedication was a big element to their success. Coach Mike Kersley and his assis- ABOVE: Hulio Burton charges down the field against Paola. TOP: The Redmen de- fense . . .

There were five squads: Varsity football, junior varsity football. Varsity basketball, junior varsity basketball, and wrestling. One of the many highlights of the cheering season was at the final game of the boys' sub-state tournament. Cheerleaders from all the participat- ing schools in the tournament worked together to preform a dance routine that evening. All together, there were ten sopho- mores, six juniors, and three seniors squad members cheering during the 1987-88 school year. At the spring sports banquet, the varsity squad pre- sented sponsor Kathy Kibler with a squad picture and plaque. -SM SA Upper: The 1987-88 Varsity Football Cheer- leaders were from left, right bottom to top: Rachel Shuck, Jimya Fulsom, Tammy Hnz- brenner, Kristin Reno, Lori Seaberg, and Dana Blasi.

But ask any member and you'll know dif- ferent. During the summer, the Gold- en Girls practiced everyday from 7-9 a.m. For one week, each girl was re- quired to attend a flag camp from six in the morning until twelve noon. There the squad learned and perfect- ed two flag routines for the upcom- ing football season. In July, the squad attended camp at Ottawa University. The first competition was a routine which each squad brought from home. The Golden Girls received an All Around ribbon in this event. Other awards were Timing and Ex- ecution, All Around, and Super Team ribbons. The final night of camp, the squad received third place trophy which was later dedicated to the school at a pep assembly. The school year brought many activities also. Practice was held every day until 4:00. Before a game, the girls would be critiqued to see if they would perform at the following game. Each squad member has a responsibility to the other members. Remembering counts, positions, and where to go were very important to the success of the routine. So as you can see, being a part of the pom-pon squad took much practice and dedication. -JM Top: The Golden Girls perform to Love Bomb ' at the Sub-State Championship game.

After losing state last year to To- peka Hayden 33-37 and taking sec- ond place, the Redmen had set two goals. One was to go undefeated and the other was to win state. The Red - men fulfilled one of those goals by winning state, but the other other was shattered by a loss to a 6A Wichita Heights in the Dodge City Tourna- ment of Champions. The Redmen did very well during the regular season considering that they played many 5A and 6A schools. The record the Redmen accom- plished was the best record in history at AHS, and the team's seniors really had fun playing these three years of basketball under Chic Downing, who was related to most of the players on the team. The Redmen played many 5A and 6A schools because most of the 4A schools would not schedule a game with them. Perhaps the biggest experience for the Redmen was traveling to the Dodge City Tournament. Here the Redmen lost in overtime to a tough 6A school, Wichita Heights, in the championship game. After this disappointing loss, the Redmen went all the way to a first in State without losing another game. Upper left- Senior.

On March 10, the Redmen opened up with a 4:45 game against Thomas More Prep. The Redmen got off to an extremely slow start, but after a timeout, the Redmen started to play as they are known to. After running a few fast breaks and forcing a few turnovers, the Redmen were back in the game. Although they went into the second half trailing by nine, the Redmen finally defeated TMP 58-55. The following day the Redmen played another exhausting game against the undefeated Haven team. The Redmen were down by five points with only three minutes to go. Seconds before the end of the final quarter, the Redmen were ahead by three points. Then Haven's 6’4” cen- ter Todd Bernard came down and hit a three pointer to send the game into the first of a tournament record four overtimes. From then on, it was a real battle, but the Redmen came out on top. 64- 62. The Redmen then advanced to the finals the following night when the undefeated Abilene Cowboys fought the Atchison Indians. This time, how- ever, the Cowboys did not win. This was an easier game for the Redmen in comparison to the games played earlier in the tournament. The Redmen defeated the Cowboys 62- 57, finishing the season with a 24-1 record, the best in AHS history. Upper right: The 1988 Redmen pose as if they completed their final mission by winning state.

Ill (pOtl 6 x4 i€ icA.e4 M t-atate The AHS Girls Basketball Team finished the 1987-88 basketball sea- son 9 and 13. Although this is not a great record, there were many high points during the season. Beating our cross-town rivals, MSSA, in both confrontations for the first time in several years was definitely a high point of the Lady Redmen’s season. Another high point was going into second round sub-state in the semi- finals. The Lady Redmen had the best season in 1987-88 since coach John Hoffman started coaching at AHS. Our improved play surprised many people and resulted for a great effort by everyone. The strong 6-7 finish by the Junior Varsity showed great promise for next year!

The referee blows hard on the whistle, and the two wrestlers be- gin to wrestle. This is what happened when junior, Roy Moranz, went to state in Wichita, in the 87-88 school year. Everyday at exactly three o'clock to four thirty, the thirteen wrestlers worked really hard for their next im - portant match. If the wrestlers were late, they had to run the dreaded stairs. The AHS 87-88 wrestling team won four matches and lost eight. The wrestling team won against Nemaha Valley, Maur Hill. Rossville and To- ganoxie. Dieting is a very important part in wrestling. The wrestlers have to keep down their weight so they can wrestle in their weight class. If they were a pound over, they had to lose it before their next weigh-in. During their diets, some lost five to ten pounds in a week. The wrestlers have a language all to their own, for example the half- nelson and the double chicken-wing. We would hardly know what they were talking about. The coaches were history teacher, George Worley, and foreign language teacher, Chris Powers. Worley said, The team really improved a lot since the season began, and we are always looking for a few good men.” The wrestling team only had one manager this year, senior Amy Robinson. The AHS student body were really proud of the wrestling team this 87-88 school year. (Above) Wrestling team: First row, left to right: Forres Thieman, Matt Wright, Frank Moranz, Chad Miller.

The lack of experienced players didn’t hurt the team; many of the younger players seemed to be pretty experienced themselves. Though they got off to a slow start, losing a few matches, they make up for it serving up first and second places through the rest of the season. Before regionals their record was 24- 1.

Good coaching brought many of our teams successful seasons in the 1987- 88 school year, and not just success in the sense of a public victory. Perhaps even more im- portant are the personal victo- ries of individual athletes who did their best and felt proud of their accomplishments, regard- less of whether or not their ef- forts brought them medals or broke school records. Good coaching made these personal victories possible. Good coaches, such as we have at AHS, served as models to their athletes, encouraged them through tough losses and praised them for their accom- plishments, making winners of them all.

If you have been around AHS for any length of time, you know that Mr. Purdy has the only dog that runs out of gas, and has a name that comes to one's mind when he hears a corny joke. Behind the jokes and algebraic ex- pressions is a teacher who enjoys playing softball, golfing, hunting, and fishing. When asked about his goals for the future, Purdy said, I would like to make math more appealing to the students and become the best teacher I can be.” He said that he started teaching because, at one time, that was the only way to become a coach. Now that he has become older, he realizes his teaching is much more important. 127 SducaXi t eoit t0?£M}- A whistle blowing, the smell of sweat, panting, yelling, and scream- ing. Whoa!
