After the area received 15-21 inches of rain, Governor Carlin declared the counties disaster areas. Flooded residents were evacuated to the Immaculate Conception Convent and Barton County Community College, the two main shelters used, until the water receded and a return to damaged homes was possible. One of the first problems encountered by more than 2,000 Great Bend residents was that of evacuation. Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but evacuation was hindered by the strong currents of water. The Great Bend police department, the National Guard and the Red Cross helped in the rescue and evacuation efforts. As the water progressed, the sewer systems began to overflow and telephone lines were downed. Electricity and gas lines were shut off in some areas to eliminate the possibility of further damage. People were asked to avoid walking in the water since the current had jarred loose the manhole covers. Linda Powers, Great Bend freshman, who fell into an open manhole cover, said, “I was trying to cross the street against a strong current, when all of a sudden there was nothing underneath my foot. I pitched forward, and my knee caught on the edge allowing me to scramble out of it.” A few residents were able to move back after a couple of days only to find their homes and possessions covered in muck. Damage to homes and property was estimated by Mayor Gail Lupton to be in excess of $50 million. “It really makes you question material things,” said Jeanne Gotsche, Learning Resource Lab instructor. Aid and services for residents who were unable to move back into their homes was provided by Red Cross, the Mennonites, Church World Service, Seventh Day Adventists and the Salvation Army. Although some evacuees were able to stay with friends, many had to crowd into the Immaculate Conception Convent or into the Gymnasium, Student Union and Technical buildings of Barton County Community College. Most of the hardest hit families were able to move back to their homes within a week. Residents were busy pumping out basements, assessing damages and salvaging what they were able to. Mennonite volunteers from Hutchinson, Newton and McPherson worked with other Great Bend volunteers helping flood victims move out damaged furniture and clothing. FEMA records show that 817 flood insurance policies were in force on July 15, 1981. Five hundred homes and businesses who had flood insurance were damaged. In the aftermath of the flood, concerned residents voted in an advisory election to adopt the Corp of Engineer’s flood control project which had been designed in 1963. Forty-one percent of the voting population turned out and voted two to one in favor of flood control over clearing existing waterways. The group voted three to one that the city at large rather than benefit areas should pay for flood control. Because this advisory election was not legally binding on the City Council, a final election was held in April. Overall, people’s feelings about the flood varied. “It was the most unbelievable thing that’s ever happened in my life,” commented Gardner. “We see it on T V. but you don’t really know until it happens to you. Others felt a certain commaraderie. The “togetherness and friendship that developed was a positive aspect that Gotsche felt came from the flood. I think we’re more sympathetic and more likely to go out and help people who have experienced disaster.” 1. Many displaced flood victims stayed in the gymnasium at BCCC. 2. After the flood, people were faced with the cleaning of their homes. 3. Despite the extensive damage, some Barton County residents found time to enjoy the high waters. 4. Looking northward this aerial view of Main and 10th illustrates the hardships encountered by Barton County residents. 5. Evacuees relax in the Student Union of BCCC after being rescued from the rising water. 6. Many residents escaped the damage with only their most important personal possessions. Participants enjoy week-long Fall Fest BCCC students enjoyed a short reprieve from the drudgeries of classes and homework during the week- long celebration known as Fall Fest. “I thought it was nice to have a break from the normalcies of school,” said Marian Ross, Great Bend sophomore. Students participated in many activities during the festival which is a yearly tradition at BCCC. A mong the activities were a nooner, a jello-eating contest, a movie, a square dance exhibition and a Halloween dance. A costume contest was also held during the dance. “The costume contest was exciting. However, I did lose,” said Randall Ritchie, Great Bend freshman. 1. David Hogan gobbles up a mouthful of jello during the Fall Fest jello-eating contest. The contest was only one of the several student- featured activities which ran during Fall Fest Oct. 26-29. 2. Members of the band Blubird perform during the Fall Fest Halloween dance. BCCC students also had the chance to hear Ozone which played during a Fall Fest nooner. 3.

College life is totally different than the student’s life in high school. Some students move away from home to attend the college of their choice. For the first time, a student controls his choice of classes. Not only does he have academic programs to consider, he has extra-curricular activities available. For the student who enjoys physical activities many team sports such as basketball, baseball, and track offer opportunities for involvement. Intramurals can play an important part in a student ' s schedule. Additional extracuricular activities stress creativity. Areas such as drama bring out the actor in the student and allow him the opportunity to be someone for a couple of nights. Music helps the student to express himself through notes and words. The special events and dances give the student the a chance to become involved in his school and relax. 1. Kent Franz looks down at the floor after checking out of the Hutchinson basketball game.

Students attend Christmas Formal BCCC students took time out from the normal pre- Christmas activities around BCCC to celebrate with a Christmas Formal. With music being provided by Lip Service, a band from Kansas City, students were given one last chance to unwind before finals and heading home for the holidays. In addition to the music and refreshments, the computer club set up a computer dating service. Fora small fee a person could fill out a personal data form and it in turn would be fed into the computer to be matched up with a perfect mate. After everyone who wanted a computer date had gone through the process, and the computer had a chance to match everyone up, the happy couple (and sometimes not so happy) were announced at the dance by Student Senate President Jerry Reid. 1. Bart (Craig Thompson) provides moral support as well as a lot of fun for the team and crowd alike during Cougar basketball games at home and on the road. 2.

Students enjoy noon¬ time entertainment Nooners, ' ' the lunch hour entertainment on campus, provide a welcome break from the everyday routine of campus life. These Student Senate sponsored events bring bands or some other form of entertainment to the BCCC population. Everything from a jello-eating contest to a best buns and legs competition have been held during the nooners. These events, costing anywhere from $20 on up to as much as $400, are often tied in with other events on campus, and make the everyday schedule a little easier to live with. Why the nooners got started or if they are really that important is a matter of personal opinion, but most people will agree that nooners are lots of fun and almost a necessity to break the routine. 11 1982 Homecoming generates harmony The Homecoming of 1982 was a time of warm vibes even though there were 13 inches of new snow that covered the campus. The weekly events such as the pie eating contest (otherwise known as the “food fight”) and the buns and legs contest preceded the climax, the crowning of the king and queen. The excitement of the Student Senate sponsored event came about in a special way. The Lady Cougars won over Butler County by a generous 36 point spread. The men’s game offered a double climax. At halftime came the introduction of the homecoming royalty. Attendants were Dana Seeliger and Kent Franz, and Ebby Biays and Bruce Hoisington. Julie Browning and Bruce Washburn were introduced as the queen and king. The Cougar fans were treated to an exciting 97- 94 victory in the men’s game.

However, within a week the small square room turns into a collection of high school memories, posters, mobiles, and snack for late night cravings. Barton County Community College provides twenty student living centers which house a combination of 160 males and females. An addition of six units at the time of this publication was in progress for the oncoming school year Looking down at the living centers from atop the campus hill, the units resemble a city and a city they are. Within the many walls, layers of insulation, and bricks, there exists the joys and sorrows of college life including late night raids to the local Quik—Trip, a hand or two of Uno, hopscotch in the parking lot, pizza parties, break¬ downs in maintenance, shadows of boyfriends and girlfriends, and test cramming. Student housing under the direction of Rick Hanke provides all a student’s necessities as well as a memorable experience for the years to come. 1. Mike Brungardt relaxes while watching television. 2. Steve Ostrovich relaxes after a hard practice. 3. Solar dorms now under construction will provide additional housing. 4. Tamara Burgerand Devon Thurlow practice their smiles with the camera. 5.

Journalism staffs overcome changes Monday night became “Dana’s night”as Interrobang editor, Dana Seeliger, led the staff through the production stages of the paper. The format was changed through the addition of more features as well as the regular coverage of student activities. Deadlines became nightmares for Sharrilyn Hochman, Spoke editor, during the production of the yearbook. Elaine Moss, editor during the planning stages of the yearbook, turned the reins over to Hochman upon graduation at semester. Along with the change in leadership, the staff decided to do their own paste-up. Photographers put in several extra hours working in the darkroom on the color pictures as well as black and white photos. After sifting through hundreds of pictures and yards of bordertape, the staff completed this book. 1.

DECA attends State, National Competition Deca members planned and produced an event filled year. The members worked into their schedules enough time to sell cookbooks, plants and colorbooks as fund raisers. Besides bowling for Muscular Dystrophy some of the members attended the state competition held in Wichita and the national competition held in New York. They also traveled to Dallas, Texas. Highlights of the trip were visits to Neiman Marcus and Mary Kay Cosemetics. 1. Jim Blogett bowls for Muscular Dystrophy. 2.

This year’s group had 16 active members. “These girls are a great bunch. You know how sometimes the advisor has to push and push to get the members involved; well, this year’s group is different, in fact, I find myself running to catch up!” said advisor Delores Meyer. The OEA and the Occupational Therapy Association groups cooperated throughout the year by combining several of their activities for better education. Other goals that the participants worked toward were winning the Ambassador’s Award and attending the Spring Conference 1. Karla Oberle displays her trophies won at the 1982 state OEA conference. 2.

Through classes designated as general requirments, students broaden their outlook on life. Guest speakers in several classes added interest and depth to general course content. The C-Building houses the Business department. Courses prepare students for the business world upon graduation. Secretarial Science majors also had the chance to join OEA which provides them insight into all aspects of office procedures. In addition, those enrolled in mid-management courses may take advantage of the DECA program, which provides them hands-on experience in their major fields. Student records are also housed in C-Building. Student Services is the umbrella department which covers financial aid, personal and professional services provided for all students. Through guidance offered by the personnel involved in this department, students are assured of eventual graduation or transfer to a four-year school. 1.

Leading the way for the Cougars offensively in 1982 was Brad Collicott who finished the regular season hitting an even .500 with six homers. Other offensive leaders were Troy Guesnier, who hit .385 and John Glenn who led the team with seven home runs and hit for a .316 average. Darryl Smith hit for a .309 average as the lead off hitter for the Cougars and led the team in stolen bases with 24. The pitching leaders for the Cougars were a pair of Wichita freshmen.

Although they fell short of their goal of retaining the conference title, the Cougars earned a respectable third place finish. Players on the team receiving honors included Rudy Sanders who was elected to the KJCCC All- Conference first team and Kent Franz and Cliff Moss who also received honorable mention on the team for their efforts during the season. A new element was added to Cougar basketball when the Cougar Booster Club organized and hosted the first Jayhawk Conference East West All-Star game at the end of the regular season. The All-Star game gave many college coaches a chance to see the Jayhawk Conference best in action, prior to the deadline for signing national letters of intent. Barton County players elected to the All-Star West squad included Franz, Moss, Sanders and Gerald Younglove. 26 1. “Bart” (Craig Thompson) brings out the enthusiasm in the crowd at the game. 2.

On Nov. 7 old Cougar basketball members gathered once again on the BCCC floor to take on the new Cougars. Dr. Harrell Guard was the coach for the Alumni team. His team played well, but the new Cougars defeated them. After the Christmas break, the Cougars started Jayhawk Conference play. Lady luck was not with them in their first two games as they were defeated by Pratt and Dodge City. After the Dodge City game, the Cougars went on to win every conference game and finish in a tie for the Jayhawk Western Division title. They went into the playoff with the hope of traveling once again to Kansas City forthe national tournament. They opened playoff play by defeating Dodge City at home, and they traveled to Pratt and defeated them. Cloud County was the only team that stood between the Cougars and the trip to Kansas City. But, once again, lady luck was not with them as Cloud defeated the Cougars by two points. The names of Wingard, Lebsack, Seeliger and Allensworth will remain in the BCCC record books for some time. Many of the existing records fell before the onslaught of these four players as they rewrote the offensive and defensive record books. Honors earned and records broken are listed below: Wingard—Second team All-American First team Region VI Most points single season-424 Most points two seasons-960 Lebsack—Most rebounds single game-24 Most defensive rebounds single game-15 Most rebounds single season-356 Most rebounds two seasons-596 Seeliger—Most free throws two seasons-75% Most assists single game-12 Allensworth—Most assists single season-124 Most assists two seasons-171 1.

The Cougars came out with a number two seed after competing in a round robin tournament with the other Jayhawk Conference teams. Lacking the maturity of upper classmen, the freshmen team worked for stability and cooperation. Freshman Carol Dreiling, who made All-Region VI, will be returning to lead the team next year. 1.

Groups support athletics enthusiastically The BCCCgym is not just a showcase for the players during basketball season. Two campus support groups add to the thrill of competition throughout the winter months. The BCCC pep band performed during the games, adding to the excitement and leading the spirits of both team members and fans. The pep band, under the direction of J.B. Webster, practiced many hours to play various tunes during the games. Both college students and members of the community comprise the pep band. The Cougar Kittens, sponsored by Dana Kaiser Foss, also helped out during the games by selling tickets, handing out programs and ushering as well as performing other duties. Many activities ran more smoothly due to the help provided by the Cougar Kittens. 1.

As the year progressed, the students were offered a variety of activities. The students who won the respective activities were rewarded with a teeshirt. Some of the activities that the students had to pick from were basketball, volleyball, one-on-one and the free throw contest. New events were ten point pitch, ping-pong, eight ball, chess and backgammon tournaments. As the end of the year drew near students began to sign up for the softball tournament and then the track meet that was co-sponsored by Coors and was held during the week of Spring Fest. 1.

Trustees, president direct college affairs The students at BCCC are greatly influenced by the faculty and the surroundings of the college, but seven men who are not always seen but are heard have great influence on the students’ college life. These men, Dr. Jimmie Downing, college president; Jim Heaton, Ed Herres, Robert Keenan, Richard Kimple, Harold Titus and George Tregallas, Board of Trustee members, set the guidelines and standards for the college and its planned activites. They decide what programs are to be maintained at current levels, upgraded or cut, and also determine the amount of tuition. The Trustees are elected in a county-wide election and the President is directly responsible to the Board for all college matters. Dr. Jimmie L. Downing, President Robert Keenan 1. Dr. Jimmie Downing serves hot punch during the annual President’s Christmas Reception for students and faculty. Richard Kimple Harold Titus George Tregallas 42 College operation requires intricacy Many students do not realize the intricate operation of a college. Budgets, instruction and student affairs could surely make one wonder how it all works, butfor Jerry Reid, Pat McAtee and Bob Rumble, these “wonders” are managed every day. Reid, dean of business administration, directs all business and financial aspects of the college. He makes sure that each department has adequate funding, directs the bookkeeping and distributes the payroll. McAtee, dean of instruction, directs all teachers and evaluates their performances. With the help of his two assistant deans, he also schedules all on and off campus classes. Rumble, dean of student affairs, directs enrollment, financial aid and student activities. He is in charqe of a professional staff which directs the students’ on- campus life and schedules activites to help keep the students involved. Patrick J. McAtee, Dean of Instruction Jerold Reid, Dean of Business Robert Rumble, Dean of Student Affairs 43 Assistants share duties Although much responsibility is placed on the shoulders of the Dean of Instruction and the Dean of Student Affairs,they do have their “right hand man” to help them along. Dr. Harrell Gaurd and Mary Misegadis, assistant deans of instruction, aid Dean Pat McAtee in the scheduling of all on and off campus classes. They also help evaluate the performance of the college’s instructors. Paul Maneth,assistant dean of student affairs, takes care of financial aid for Dean Bob Rumble. Maneth makes certain that each student has enough aid to insure continuation of his education. With the help of their assistants, the Deans oversee the total operation of the college.

Maintainance and food service played an important part in keeping the BCCC campus and its students looking and feeling good. By cleaning floors, picking up trash and removing fingerprints from windows, the maintenance staff kept the campus looking immaculate. The food service staff prepared meal after meal for hungry students. In addition to the regular meals, the food service also made sack lunches for athletic road games and served four dinners a month in the President’s dining room.

OTA educates public about therapy Your therapy is our occupation is a common phrase among 19 students on the campus of BCCC. Faced with a possible cut in their program at the end of the ’80-’81 school year, Occupational Therapy fought hard to keep its name at BCCC. As a result of their success, OTA began a recruitment campaign in connection with statewide high school counselors and the Kansas Occupational Therapy Association. Under the direction of Bob Ayers and Assistant Rose Dudek, the Occupational Therapy students helped educate the public about their association as well as participated in “Senior Day” and “The Greater Living Show.” The students also earned money through bake sales and other activities to help send delegates to the National Convention at Philadelphia in the spring. 1.

MLT students help investigate human life Urine, bacteria, blood and serum are a constant concern for a group of eight sophomores and twelve freshman at Barton County Community College. These students are Medical Laboratory Technicians. What are MLT’s? Simply, they are those who examine body fluids and cells by means of microscopes, chemical reactions and precision instrumentation. These scientific investigations enable the physician to assess human health, disease and treatment. Presently, the program at BCCC accepts ten new students each year. The restriction of new students is due in part to the limited facilities available. The MLT program, however, is undergoing changes to provide enrollment for fourteen new students each year. Upon successful completion of the MLT program, students are eligible to take a national certification examination. 1. Leonard Bunselmeyer, MLT advisor demonstrates the proper use of the Coulter counter to a student. 2. MLT members Include (back row) Kris Maneth, Susan Reed, Karla Holopirek, Clarence Legleighter, Bunselmeyer, Chrystle Strickert, Raelyn Leiker; (middle row) Kathy Heidrick instructor, Amy Greene, Lisa Voeltz, Sandy Roth, Rhonda Hoover, Lisa Mettlen, Jean Powers; (front row) Gina Wolters, Pam Suppes, Albert Brown, Albert Cooley, Chris Garrett. 51 Instructors stress basic concepts Helping students to learn the basics in both math and science is an important goal for instructors. It is often difficult in most major fields to continue course work without a working knowledge of both these areas. These professionals helped a majority of the 1982 graduates grasp a firm understanding of basic concepts to continue their education or begin a new career. 1. Math and Science instructors include (back row) Duane Forbes, Charles Brown, Scott McCoy, Lou Kottman, Al Bachman; (front row) Sherman Nystrom, Menter David, Nancy Law and Pauli Holmes. 2. Biology instructor, Sherman Nystrom, explains an assignment to Randy Kaiser using the microscope. 52 Computers provide rewarding future If BASIC COBAL and FORTRAN are new words to you, than you, unfortunately, are not part of the computer world. The computer world is mystifiying combination of terminals, languages and auxiliary storage. The field of data processing is challenging and profitable. During the 1980’sand upcoming 1990’s it is estimated that this field will be wide open forthose who are captured by its magnificent power. Data processing as a field offers career choices of operators, programmers and system analyst. In preparing for these choices, students at BCCC formed a Data Processing Club. The club, under the leadership of President Doug Simmons, Vice- President John Albers, Secretary-Treasurer Elaine Olejniczak and sponsors LaVonne Gerritzen and Scott McCoy, participated in computer related activities. Fun Days sponsored by DPC involved afternoons set aside to allow students to play games on the terminals for a minimal charge. Other activites included computerized dating at a Student Senate dance, a tour of the Fuller Brush computer facilities and trips to Denver and Chicago. 54 1.

The petroleum technology program is unique in that it is aimed at the part time student. All classes are offered at night, which gives students who work full¬ time oilfield jobs a chance to participate in the program. In the spring of 1982, Ron Polts, George Murphy, Gary Blessing and Arron Bruner were the first students to be awarded degrees in Petroleum Technology. In addition to night classes, the Petroleum Seminars held on campus were worth two hours credit to the students. A solar energy class was also offered at BCCC. Students enrolled in the class learned the basics of solar energy. Throughout the two year program students study the technological advancements of solar energy. Personal projects aid each student in understanding the aspects of solar energy. 1. Judith Stleben listens closley as Rex Yeager assigns a project. 2. A student prepares his material for solar energy class. 56 Students gain insight into electronics The electronics department, under the direction of Art Morgan, gave the students the opportunity to explore many areas of the electronics field. Like many of the programs on campus, the electronics program is a two year program. Students enrolled in the course study everything from radios to televisions. The program first covers AC and DC electronics. For the more advanced students, the program offers study in the area of conductors and semi-conductors. As the students complete the course, they take knowledge acquired and apply it in various fields. 1. Art Morgan explains the basics of electronics in his class. 2. Chris Saenz uses the micro¬ computer to complete an assign¬ ment. 3. Tom Carlson tests the accuracy of his project. 57 Agriculture offers various experiences The Agriculture department at BCCC offered students exposure to many different areas of the agriculture field. Of these are the Judging team, Rodeo club or an associate degree in agriculture. During the year, the Ag department conducted local and state wide contests for high school and college students, as well as attending contests of the same nature at different places around the state. One highlight of the past year was the decision by the Board of Trustees to allocate $5000 for the rodeo club to be used for scholarships and also to finance the expenses of the team. 1. A rodeo team member works on an eight second ride. 2. Judging team members include (left to right) Curt Dinkel, Kelly Starns, Mary Spaeth, Advisor Rick Mullen and Dennis Dick. 58 Students master Home Ec skills Students who are involved in Home Economics and Interior Design study similiar areas. Both learn basic skills in the house and textiles and are encouraged to develop skills in other related subjects. Both the Interior Design and Home Economics students took trips throughout the year. The Home Ec students toured KAEYC (Kansas Association for the Education of Young Children) and the Interior Design group visited different manufacturers in Hays and Hutchinson. 1. Part of the Interior Design program is to be able to identify textures and coordinate them with colors. 2. Debbie Stark and Michelle Windhorst mix and match wallpaper with carpeting to organize a soothing pattern. 59 Law enforcement studies aspects of policing Lambda Alpha Epsilon, the law enforcement fraternity, kept busy this year by touring area police departments and bringing in various speakers. The group attended a criminal justice workshop in Wichita and also toured the Lakewood, Colo., police department. Jim Dailey, a Great Bend police officer, spoke to club members about crime prevention and firearms. The organization also heard from John Hannah, a retired Alcohol Beverage Control officer. The fraternity often practiced their firearm skills at the riflery range and also worked in the concession stand during basketball games. LAE officers were John Whistler, president; Jane Fuller, vice president; and Lisa Richards, secretary. Gary Pedigo served as adviser. 1.

The machine has the capability to layout an entire page within its memory bank before printing it out. The addition of the new machine did not offset the loss of Wayne Huff, head printer, who retired after working here since the college opened in 1969. Huff was replaced by Rodney Knoblich, who took on the position of head printer. The print shop personnel assumed all responsibilites for copying tests, worksheets and other papers for instructors, as well as printing sports programs, certificates, brochures and other college promotional and informational items. 1. Wayne Huff, head printer, sets type on the new Merganthaler typesetter. Huff retired this year after 12 years at BCCC. 2. Rodney Knoblich joined the print shop staff this year as assistant printer.

These include photography, painting, drawing, ceramics, print making, art appreciation, vocal music, band, piano, organ, modeling, English, drama and communication. Much of the instruction was taught through a “learn by experience” process, which enabled the students to become better trained for their respective fields. L 1.

The center houses the library facilities, learning resource lab and the BCCC Foundation. The library lab underwent several changes. More students used the Center including foreign students from Nigeria, Viet Nam, Nicaragua and Afghanistan. CATT, a newly initiated program, took form through the year. Textbooks were taped, allowing students to listen as they follow along in the book. Staff members also developed and produced a monthly newsletter for both the Learning Center and the Foundation. 1.

Many of the students that come to Barton County with no idea what they want to do. But as the year went by they became more at ease with the college and the social life that accomplishes it. Life in the living centers provided long lasting friendships. Roommates will make plans to visit each other during the summer as well as seeing each other again in the fall. As they look back to that first year they remember all the new experiences. Scott Christanson sharpens his ping- pong serving skills while palying in the Student Union.

As the second semster started, graduating sophomores were measured for their caps and growns. As the end of the year drew closer, many of the sophomores were making final preperations for their next two years by selecting the college that they wished to attend. Many finished their two yeartraining peograms and were prepared for entry into the working world. Missy Tenerlo puts the finishing touches on her horse as she prepares for a show.

The Student Senate planned the weeklong fest by having a variety of activities for the students to get involved and have some fun before studying for finals. The students had the chance to try their luck in horseshoes, wrist wrestling, and a keg rolling relay. Students who did not enjoy physical activities could sit down and listen to the nooners that were also going on. Nooners featured Colt 45 and Kelly Hunt and the Kenetics, while Blubird played forthe Inaugural Ball. A special dinner was also offered where all students had the chance to eat with Dr. Jimmie Downing, BCCC president. Officers for the new year were announced at the banquet. 1.

The commencement address was given by former University of Oklahoma quarterback,Steve Davis, who stressed the effort needed for success. A highlight of his speech was his reference to the only defeat of his four years at OU, a defeat dealt by a fired-up KU team. Pat McAtee, dean of instruction, presented the graduates to Dr. Jimmie Downing who conferred the associates degree upon them. As the graduates filed across the stage, Board of Trustee members presented degrees. Earlier in the day, 43 members of the nursing class were pinned in a ceremony in the Science and Math building. Professor Menter David saluted this class, the largest in college history, by singing an original song. Sister Kathleen Andrews was in charge of the pinning ceremony. Twenty-six of the graduates were recognized as members of Phi Theta Kappa, a scholastic honor fraternity. Those recognized were Kim Augustine, Richard Bennett, Brian Bieberle, Ramona Brant, Julie Browning, Susan Curran, Karen Dowell, Kristy Fradd, Thomas Ginther, Valeda Haworth, Lori Lane, Paul Magnison, Melanie Mastin, Rhonda Murphy, Elaine Olejniczak, Monica Rome, Marian Ross, Andrea Schleman, Douglas Simmons, Lori Soukup, Gregory Stadelman, Brian Weigel, John Whistler, Judith White, Jody Wise and Laurie Zemanick. 1.

The Spoke staff has attempted to capture these changes. During this year, I’ve wondered whether this yearbook would ever be finished. Now that the yearbook is completed, there’s really nothing else for me to say except thank you to all the staff members for their work and for laughing with, and sometimes at me. I would also like to thank all the faculty members for their support as well as the photographers, especially Byrne Wood and Daran Slack, for workinq k ng hours in the darkroom. For all their help with the proofreading, I would like to thank Cindy Weaver Kathy Hannah, Phil Grossardt and the “tall” Dick Wade. ’ y th A d ’ ;°r he ' P ing with the extra work and typesetting, I’d also like to thank “comedian” Brian Weigel. Soecial thanks to Dr. Larry Krause in helping us get our aerial view of the campus, the Great Bend Tribune for sharinq flood photos and Richard Bennett for the graphic designs in this book. And, for all her patience, guidance and support, I would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Lavona Suppes for helping one, very green, editor in completing this book. 98 This page intentionally left blank.
