SPOKE Volume 10 BARTON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE GREAT BEND, KANSAS 67530 1980 — The Decade And The Year Going into a new decade is important to everyone but to retain the memories of the happiness or the tears of a single year is of equal importance to the student body at Barton County Community College. The 1980 Spoke has a two-fold purpose — to look back on a decade and to capture the spirit of a single year. 1980 will be a year of great importance to both the freshman and sophomore. The freshman enters with trepidation and anticipation concerning the year. The sopho¬ more enters with excitement knowing he will soon graduate and anticipation concerning decisions he must make. Spoke X will be a record of all the people and activities which made 1980 a year to remember. It will capture those times as well as recap the first decade of the college. 2 Table Of Contents Opening Activities Organizations Sports Students Administration Index Closing 3 N OOO OOO H CO LO ' sO 00 o o Students Stay Busy Participating in extra-curricular activities has played an im¬ portant role in the students’ daily routine.

Each student has the need to know people as well as being known to others. At Barton County Community College students have been given the opportunity to participate in numer¬ ous organizations. Whether it be cheering on the Cougars, singing in the school musical, or judging livestock at a national meet, students through time and effort have made the organiza¬ tions successful.

Women Romp To Successful Third Season The women’s basketball team posted an impressive record of 21-5 under the lead¬ ership of Susan Sundahl, who received All-American honors. This was the first basketball All-American honor gained by a Cougar. The Cougars were very young and lacked experience when the new head Coach Don Calvert assumed his duties. Howev¬ er, they started the season with nine straight wins. The Cougars played consis¬ tently throughout the season and carried a 20-4 record into the Region VI playoffs. Expectations were high for both players and the fans, but the Cougars were beat¬ en in the second round by Dodge City, 80-75, to end their successful third sea¬ son of play. 54 Tina Hitschmann sets to pass inside.

The Cougars posted the second best record in their history with 21-9 under the direction of new head Coach, Jerry Mullen, and Assistant Coach Gene Hanson. Although the team consisted mainly of freshmen, they placed a respectable third in the Jayhawk Conference behind Hutchinson, and Dodge City with a 7-5 record. They were unable to participate in the Region VI Western Division Playoffs due to a recruiting probation. In the first half of the season the Cougars were plagued by injuries, but with the addition of a new floor to the gym over Christmas break, injuries declined. The Cougar Booster Club was responsible for the new floor. The team will lose Mason Jones and Art Williams to sophomore graduation. The Cougars are coming back with an experienced team with high expectations.

The Cougars boasted an abundance of talent in various positions as they advanced to the finals of the Regional Tournament. Unfortunately though the talented young Cougars were eliminated to the disappointment of the members of the team and the fans.

Under the instruction of the administrators the students were able to have individual attention lead¬ ing to a better insight, on the student’s part, to their abilities in many areas other than in the classroom. This can be credited to the many hours sacrificed by the administration to aid in the education of the students. Their efforts to strive to make the college a pro¬ gressive scholastic institution guided the school smoothly through another successful year. Leadership At Barton Through Administration Through the year, the Administration has been there to lend assistance to students and advise them on course schedules, as well as helping them to plan for their future. Another function of the administration is securing a future for the college, promoting BCCC in surrounding areas. RIGHT: President Jimmie L.

Many students refer to a dictionary in order to define terms not ordinarily under¬ stood. In order to more easily under¬ stand the different departments within the college, the various departments will be defined “dictionary style”. Agriculture-The science and art of farming: work of cultivating the soil, production of crops, and raising of livestock. Home Economics-The science and art of homemaking, including nutrition, clothing, budgeting, and child care. Business Occupations-An occupation consisting of the arts of stenography, bookkeeping, and office routine.

Through the year, the Academy of Beauty students, for¬ mally known as the BCCCAB students, are hard at work learning the basic skills that will allow them to eventually work within a beaut y shop, or start a business of their own. The students, who attend classes in downtown Great Bend, have such courses as hair styling, make-up application, and other basic skills. These students attend class most of the year, as compared to other students who attend only nine months out of the year. The students who attend the BCCCAB are working toward the goal of being a licensed cosmotologist through the Kansas Board of Cosmotology.

Technology-The science or study of the industrial or practical arts. The words industrial tech¬ nology bring to mind ma¬ chinery, cogs humming, belts whirring, and engines turning the cranks that run America. In earlier times, industrial technology did mean using just heavy ma¬ chinery. Now the name has been expanded to in¬ clude the elements of broadcasting, computer programming, and law en¬ forcement.

Fine arts-The graphic arts, generally including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and occasionally literature, music, dramatic arts, and dancing. Under the realm of human¬ ities, students may encounter any one of a number of courses. Humanities, al¬ though still concerned with life and the mind, is a sepa¬ rate division from health sci¬ ences. Courses range from well known subjects like Eng¬ lish and Philosophy, to courses like Interpersonal Communications and learn¬ ing. Fine Arts, another sepa¬ rate division of the college, is concerned mainly with the development of such person¬ al talents as creating ceram¬ ics, paintings, and sculpture, as well as personal develop¬ ment through classes such as acting, band, and choir.

This attitude was apparent as the Spoke staff compiled the book throughout the year. Increased enrollment was the key to progress in the journalism department. The staff benefi ted from the addition of Cynthia Cox, Tony Rohr, Doug Bender and Bill Chambers during the Spring semester. Through hard work, long hours and dedicated deter¬ mination, Spoke was completed and sent to press. As we pause and reflect on the programs offered by the school and the progress achieved during the past ten years, we can only hope that BCCC XX will find the same attitude of success prevailing.
