The community offers the college much needed support in many different areas. They offer jobs, scholarships, athletic support and elect members from the community to serve as the Board of Trustees. The community is always trying to assist the college in any of these areas mentioned. The community often tries to assist the college by offering jobs to students. The job placement service works with area employers to bring students and jobs together. Another way the community tries to assist the college is by furnishing students with scholarships. Many individuals, businesses and organizations offer scholarships to students who may need financial aid in order for them to further their education. Stephannie Goerl, financial aid coordinator, said, “There have been approximately 150 organizations and businesses throughout the county that have given scholarships.” Also, the community offers great support during athletic events such as basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, baseball, golf, and for the first time, women’s softball.all. Community support allows these athletes to set their goals higher and perform with greater potential. In addition to physical support, the community also offers financial support through the Cougar Booster Club. Furthermore, the community works with the college by electing the Board of Trustees. Barton Countians are elected to serve as a governing board over the college’s actions. Through advice and decisions, they guide the college toward the ultimate goal, quality education.

Like time, Barton County Communtiy College is ever constant ever changing. The Spoke staff would like to capture a small portion of time to make the 1982-83 school year a bit more memorable. A basketball game, a cross country meet, a concert featuring the Hilltop singers, a visit from the Bloodmobile and events like Homecoming make a school year special. Times when George fixes special meals for no particular reason; the few days that are skipped to take a “road trip” or go hunting: these are the times worth remembering. Time has a way of bringing out the best of people. For instance, the snow storm which held the students, faculty and staff in hibernation seemed like three months, but in reality was only three days. The card parties, quarters games and sleep time probably reached an all-time record high! Most of the students were glad when the snow was cleared from the campus roads and parking lots, but even more so when classes resumed. Three days of doing nothing became awfully boring... cabin fever is what some called it. At BCCC there is an atmosphere of relaxation, and yet the tension of cramming for exams and completing the famous English packets schedules never seems to cease. Also, a big part of the daily routine is the everlasting Kansas wind that blew nearly everything off the face of the earth. If an eight o’clock class was ever included in the student’s schedule, surely, the memory of saying, “Never again! I will never have another eight o’clock class!!” reels in the back of the mind. Remember the research papers (oh! those awful books!) and the chemistry experiments and over-joyous frog disection lab of Biology that seems as endless as those two-hour lectures. Throughout the Spoke, the time has been represented with a few remembrances of the students and the community captured at their best. So ... look, read, and remember. Student Senate sponsors many events like the 1982 Halloween dance where students dress as characters unknown. David LeRoy, Randy Ritchie, and Gary Lee Keffer shows accuracy in pin-pointing the correct spot for the football toss, just one of the many contests during the Coors Intramural Campus Fest. 6 “Bart the Cougar” (Craig Thompson) is often found with children and making 7 8 The Child Care Center provides care tor the children whose parents attend BCCC.

At BCCC the enrollment of the computer program is growing yearly. Though the courses are not always easy, some students like Shellie Seeman and Lisa Blixt find that working together can be beneficial when programming. AND THE COLLEGE. The college affects the surrounding communities in many different ways. Each year hundreds of students help bring in additional revenue to many area businesses, mainly the bars, fast food restaurants and the discount stores. Steven Black, manager of the McDonald’s in Great Bend said, “Ball games help bring in additional customers such as the spectators, students and even occassionally the visiting teams.” BCCC also provides jobs for many people of the surrounding communities. The adminstrators, instructors, secretaries, librarians, maintenance and the cafeteria employees fulfill the major portion of jobs offered. Of the 221 employees at the college, 30 percent commute from other towns. Another service the college offers to the communities is the Outreach program. Outreach brings the intructors to the people who cannot come on campus. Janice Shifter, Ellsworth said, “Outreach allows me to just commute on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and to take the courses 1 otherwise could not have.” Classes are held from Kinsley to Junction City, and courses such as accounting, woodworking, ceramics and English are offered. Also, BCCC provides workshops and conferences to aid many individuals of the surrounding communities. These primarily benefit people of the business world but are also attended by traditional students. Workshops and conferences may cover a two or three day period and go into detail in many different skills. In addition, BCCC offers an Adult Basic Education ( A.B.E.) program which allows adults to improve their basic skills in reading, arithmetic, and English. The program benefits the people who have less than an eighth grade education. Another added feature the college offers the community is the General Education Development Examination (G.E.D.). After a person has successfully completed this examination, he is issued the High School Equivalency Diploma by the Kansas State Department of Education. The G.E.D. classes cover five subjects including math, English grammar and reading comprehension, social studies, natural sciences and literature. Indeed, BCCC does affect the surrounding communites and will continue in further helping the area toward a better tomorrow. BCCC serves the old and young alike by creating an atmosphere for higher education at the lowest possible cost. Also, BCCC continues to Sheila Hubert participates in the “Fun in the Sun Daze” barbeque, an annual fall event which allows the students and faculty to become acquainted. Student Senate kicks off a year of activities with this mixer. 10 Microbiology offers students like Joe Burke the opportunity to deal with the microoganisms in the world around us. The snack bar, a popular place for many students who have their cravings for a snack, is usually quite busy. Pauline Halfhill is one of several employees who help make a student’s day more leisurely. thrive with quality instructors and coaches who do their best to improve education in central Kansas. Enrollment at BCCC has become an easier task due to the new computer system that allows students like Ray Elliot and Steve Boxberger to 12 The Hilltop players assist the Ellinwood Police Department in an officer training program. David Graf is apprehended by one of the Ellinwood officers. During the Coors Intramural Campus Fest, James Irving demonstrates one on his many talents.

Attempting a close shave during one of several pep assemblies is Richard Linenberger, while Steve Sneath braces himself for an unexpected occurrence. 13 IUNITY COMMUNITY COMMUNITY COMMUNF. Demand increases for specialized seminars. Students at Barton County Community College often see community people on campus for only a few hours or several days. Have you ever wondered what brings them here? One of the major services of the college is to meet the needs of the people and businesses in Barton County as well as the students. According to Mary Misegadis, assistant dean of instruction, more specialized training is being called for in many vocational areas. BCCC tries to meet that demand by sponsoring seminars on topics from petroleum to a successful image. Members of the surrounding communities attend these one or two day seminars. Many are held on campus while students are attending classes. The participants’ presence is usually noticed during the lunch hour; suddenly between 15 and 60 new faces are seen eating lunch in the Union. Students have become accustomed to thinking, “Oh, there must be some kind of seminar today.” Although most people who attend these w orkshops are from the business industry, several students will take advantage of the chance to explore areas in which they may choose to pursue a career. During the two-day Piano Workshop held Nov. 12-13, piano students were required to attend by instuctor Virginia Downing. Three of the students performed and were then critiqued by clinician Dr. Jane McGrath of Oklahoma University. The Rape and Sexual Assault seminar was attended by a few students also. It only lasted one day from 8 a. m.-5 p. m. and was co-sponsored by the Great Bend Police Department. “We’ve had seminars for several years, but we just started them on a full-fledged scale the past two years,” said Misegadis. “There were 16 last year and that number keeps increasing with the demand from local businesses.” There were about 30 seminars sponsored by BCCC during the 1982-83 term. Most were held on campus and in Great Bend with certain workshops being held in Russell or Lamed depending on the request of the business. The process in planning a seminar, once the need has been expressed, is to research the ability of the college and the administration to supplement such a workshop. Then people and space are found to conduct the event. Once all the plans are made, the Office of College Communications designs a brochure for publicity. “Again it depends on the business that requested the seminar, but most of them are held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays because they are the most convenient for the work force,” added Misegadis. Students as well as members of the surrounding community are noticing the effect of BCCC seminars. It’s definitely an advantage to all who wish to take it.

I_____ Both the outreach program and the night classes of Barton County Community College fill a need for every individual. The need may vary as the knowlegde that is sought differs: one student may seek new skills for bettei job opportunities while another simply wants to learn tc keep up with the changes of the world. But, for Wilma Rounkles it was a matter of self- preservation. “I believe every day that I live I’ve got to be able to say that I’m not ashamed of what I’ve done.” At one time her life was very different; she was a wife and she was a mother. Now divorced with six of her seven children away from home, she feels a need for a new vocation. Majoring in criminal justice, she would like to work with young people and “put to use all the psychology and sociology I’ve learned on the injustices of our justice system.” She said she loves children and believes that they are what we make them and that their behavior is learned, not innate. Raising sever children has given her lots of hands-on experience. Hei childre range in age from fourteen to thirty-seven and al seem to share their mother’s drive. The eldest is ar orthopedic surgeon, one is a psychologist and three are attending Fort Hays State University at this time. Hei youngest is a freshman in high school. She has lived in Lucas, sixty miles northeast of Great Bend and has been driving back and forth since January 1980. To supplement her hours and reduce her driving time, she has earned twenty-seven hours in outreach classes in Russell, Wilson and Ellsworth. Many of them are basics like Fundamentals of Math, Biology and American History. She said, “they (outreach classes) gave me an opportuntiy to pick up classes that otherwise would not have been available, because of conflicting schedules.” Although she already has many miles of education behind her, a new road toward her degree lies ahead. Serving a nine county area, the outreach program offers the convenience of futhering one’s education in one’s home town. The classes are a direct extension of BCCC and carry the same credits and hours. Classes are offered by the needs of students usually filling either basic education needs or teaching new skills. According to Mary Misegadis, the night classes are attended by students ranging in age from seventeen tc seventy. The average age is thirty-five. Whether it is arl skills that one wants to sharpen or better business management that one wants to learn, BCCC offers a wids range of classes. 16 Like other students over 65, John Hannah attends BCCC tuition free. In Blueprinting he receives instructions from Russell Westphal. As American women seek new skills in self-defense, BCCC reacts to this need by offering Karate 1.

These are planned by one of the childhood development classes at BCCC as practicum for students. A vital part of BCCC exists in the technical building. Al¬ though many excellent programs are taught there, the area spoken of is the Child Care Center. Without this center, many students who face the dual role of being a parent and a student would not be able to attend class. Students are allowed to leave their children at the cen¬ ter for a maximum of five hours while staff must pick up their children after three hours. A fee of 75 cents per hour is charged. Eileen Pike, director of the Child Care Center, explained that she plans everything ahead of time. The thirty to forty children are taught language, numbers, colors, nutrition, money values and other fundamentals. Pike received her B.S. degree from Kansas State Univer¬ sity in Home Economics with emphasis in early childhood education. She helped organize the center at BCCC which was in the Student Union until the fall of 1981. Now there is more versatility with the added space and enrollment. According to Pike, the afternoon session (12:50 - 3:30, the morning session is 7:50 - 12:30) is more relaxed as there are fewer children. When weather permits, they spend free play time outdoors. Other days find them riding tricycles up and down the building’s hallways. Another “plus” to the center is that it allows BCCC stu¬ dents enrolled in the program to observe children in an actual setting. These students also plan the menu for the center’s snacks. Assistants to Pike include Kathy Becker who works part-time in the mornings and work-study students. Eileen Pike, director joins children during their Thanksgiving party for treats. This is only one of many special activities planned during the year for the children’s enjoyment and learning. 18 FOUNDATION ADDS FINANCIAL SUPPORT 1 - 1 ' The Annual Benefit Auction is held each spring to raise funds for educa¬ tional advancement through the Foundation. According to Frank Aydelotte, ex¬ ecutive director, it is an “attractive social event that is a lot of fun to people in the community.” In the background, the famous buffalo head is pictured along with many other items donated for the auction. A large amount of financial support for Barton County Com¬ munity College is received from a separate organization that isn’t part of the college. The Foundation provides scholarships for students as well as funding special projects. “The mission of the Foundation is to receive and distribute funds to support education,” said executive director Frank Aydelotte. They are now using about $4100 per year in Endow¬ ment awards. He added that the organization is chartered by the Secretary of the State of Kansas as a non-profit organization. The Internal Revenue Service also recognizes it as such. The group of which there are 15 trustees held its fifth Annual Benefit Auction last spring to supplement funding. In the spring of 1982, they brought in approximately $17,000 at this social event. At the auction, items are donated by community people and businesses with proceeds going to benefit students and the College. One of the most unique items donated is a buffalo head that sold for $700 the first year (1981). It was left for future auctions, however, and sold for $2000 in 1982. Aydelotte explained that a “Buffalo Club” is being started with each year’s buyer receiv¬ ing a plaque for his contribution. The second fund-raiser is a business fund drive where com¬ munity businesses are asked to contribute to college support. “As a long-range project this has the greatest potential,” said Aydellote. Students phoned Barton County residents in a new effort to raise Foundation funds. Pictured is Lisa Herrman with iana Almquist and Betty Vanek in the background. It is planned to make this event an annual one since it was considered iccessful by Foundation members. 19 Celebrity Series are entertaining The Celebrity Series program provided outside entertain¬ ment for the communities surrounding Barton County Com¬ munity College. William F. Buckley Jr. was the first of the Celebrity Series’ line-up of entertainment. Buckley spoke to his audience about politics and other world affairs. He also surprised the reporters at the press conference with a short piano recital. Another star appearance was by Father Andrew Greeley who writes novels. Sometimes his novels are considered “racy”, but Greeley said that people who don’t like his novels have never read them. Ending this year’s Celebrity Series was soap opera expert Jon-Michal Reed. Accompanying him was Gregg Marx, who plays David Banning on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives’ ’ -ZZI Gregg Marx obviously disagrees with Jon-Michal Heed ' s opinions con¬ cerning soap opera stars.

Although the lines were long, Sandy Jacobs and Randy Lang found the waiting to be worthwhile. Kelly Hunt and the Kinetics provide the evening’s entertainment following the bar-b-que. “Fun in the Sun Daze” was the theme of this year’s annual Fall Fest, sponsored by the Student Senate. It kicked-off with an all college bar-b-que with a concert featuring Kelly Hunt and the Kinetics. During the Fall Fest students participated in the punt, pass and kic k competition, softball throw, frisbee golf, water balloon contest, tennis serve competition, long jump and several other events. Shirts, hats, and frisbees were awarded as prizes to the top individual in each category. “The students who were at campusfest had a good time,” said Scott Stoskopf, Student Senate president. Fall Fest allows students to become acquainted with new friends and reacquainted with old friends. Also, it helps students adapt to college life and feel more at home by letting them be themselves. The Senate ended its activities with an all-college mixer dance. Cougars Wind Up Homecoming Victorious !!! Homecoming activities began with a pep rally on February 11th. In a combined effort, the pep band and cheerleaders aroused a winning spirit in both students and team members. That evening. Student Senate sponsored a dance featur¬ ing the music of Astra. The Candidates for King and Queen were presented. They were: Becky Turner, Lyons sopho¬ more; E.B. Bias, Ellinwood sophomore; Tamara Burger, Clay Center Sophomore; Jada. Schaffer, Great Bend Academy of Beauty student; Betty Vanek, Claflin freshman. Also, Lee Keller, Preston freshman; David Graf, Great Bend sophomore; Chris Mclnteer, Minneola sophomore; and John Mace, Great Bend Academy of Beauty student. Not just a popularity contest, the search for a King and Queen to reign homecoming begins within the school’s groups and organizations. The organizations nominate their candidates and then the entire student body votes on these. After narrowing down the competition, the candidates are then interviewed by a panel of students and teachers. Every¬ one is asked, “ What is your goal in life and how do you plan to achieve it.” Betty Vanek and Chris Mclnteer were chosen on the basis of their and participation in school activities. As the Cougars met the Seward County Saints, Vanek and Mclnteer were crowned between the women’s and men’s game on February 12th. Dennis Schumacher fights for a lay-up. Victory became more than the word for the day, when it became reality as both the men and women won their games. The Lady Cougars gained the win over Seward County with a score of 107-19, and the men downed the Saints with an 84- 70 win. Upcoming Valentines Day helped create the atmosphere for the Homecom¬ ing Dance, as the candidates pictures were showcased in hearts. Cade (Skelly) Nagy and Pam Kingin dance to the music of “Astra.” 24 “Annie” wins the hearts of everyone The BCCC Fine Arts Department presented the musical, “Annie Get Your Gun” on March 11 and 12, 1983. With six weeks of practice behind them, the cast members were ready for the standing-room-only audiences. When the community college orchestra started playing, the tension reached its highest peak. Charlie Davenport (Greg Stephens) and Dolly Tate (Meg Sims) began capturing the audience’s attention, while Frank Butler (D.J. Sims) and Annie Oakley (Karen Graber) captured its heart. Tears of joy, relief and sadness were released after the Finale. Hugs and kisses reflected the closeness built among cast members through the long weeks of rehearsals. The production required the talents of many community and college people. Students built sets under the direction of local adults. Directors Ken Shaheen and Karyl Morrison worked endlessly blocking scenes and helping actors develop characters. Sound and lights were added, and the orchestra directed by J.B. Webster provided the music which crowned the production. J.B. Webster and the communtiy orchestra work with the castfor perfect timing. Frank Butler (D.J.

No, this isn’t a question asked on a game show to win a prize, it’s the choice provided for BCCC housing students. Those who chose to pay $25 more per semester may live in the Phase 3, better known as the earth-housing. These units house four people who share a bathroom but have two beds per room. These were completed in time for the 1982- 83 academic year. Although they have no carpeting, there is more floor space. Phase two has four large bedrooms in each unit with one bath. Usually there are only two students in each room, al¬ though the rooms were designed to accomodate three in case of overflow. A central lobby area is the feature of Phase 1 units. Off of this room are again four bedrooms and one bath. Both ph¬ ases 1 and 2 have carpeting except in the bathroom. Along with the earth-housing, a new “commons building” was built for all housing students. This houses washers, dryers, a television room, meeting room, game room and kitchenette. Students may also get together in tha main lounge or stereo room. Rick Hanke, director of student housing resigned in 1982 to accept a similiar position at the University of Texas at El Paso. The new coordinator and assistant coordinator of stu¬ dent housing selected were Jerry and Lisa Ney. Campus housing added new earth-sheltered units this past year. This phase houses four people per unit. Two students share each room with a com¬ mon bathroom for four. Deanna Barnett takes time from her studies to write a letter home. This room is an example of a Phase 1 unit Rick Hanke, director of student housing collects cans gathered by students in a contest sponsored by RHA, “Get off your Cans.” The win¬ ning unit received three large pizzas for their efforts. 28 Can I slice it in? Rusty Coker of student housing enjoys a game of pool in the new commons area. The commons building provides laundry and kitchen areas while also having a TV room and meeting room. A large-screen television was bought by the RHA this year which can be watched in the meeting room. Other activites during the year included ping-pong and video games. Is that me? Kim Thomas relaxes(inset) dunng the blizzard that cancelled two days of classes. She seem to be laughing at herself as she studied earlier for a test in her room. 29 Although sports are a major function at BCCC, clubs and organizations offer students the opportunity to serve the college as well as themselves. Organizations such as R.H.A. provide the housing students with various forms of entertainment, money making projects and ways to improve their facilties. The Students Senate, the governing body of the college, provides many activities for all students. Some clubs offer specific activities in area of interest. For example, the Distributive Education Clubs of America, DECA, complete in marketing, advertising and salesmanship contests at the local and national levels. The Hilltop players and singers perform dance routines, singing telegrams and songs for the college and the community. The Hilltop players perform another one of their singing telegrams for Dick Wade. Members include Heidi Eller, Ina McGuinness, Krista Norton and Lynee Bellinder. K.B. Bell performs with Krista Norton in the play “Marriage-go-round.” David Novotny, Steve Maddy, Fenny Herter and Marla Jenisch prepare for the computer club road rally. DECA goes to nationals Barton County Communtiy College’s Distributive Educa¬ tion Club of America earned recognition at the national level this year. With 13 qualifying for nationals, Phil Haase, Con¬ nie Lowry and Randall Lindsay earned national rankings. Haase was then selected to participate in an additional day of competition where he placed in the top eight in the overall Food Marketing Competition. In the Sales Representative event Lindsay received honors as one of the top twelve finalists. Karate students reach goals Karate I students learned self-defense tactics against armed and unarmed opposition during the year. Class content also stressed the development of muscular skill and the preven¬ tion of injury to the aggressor. After a semester of learning basic skills, Karate II students mastered the techniques. They added the skill of sparring to the techniques learned the first semester. ‘We had quite a few national championship quality people enrolled in our program.” said Wayman Johnson, Karate in¬ structor. “When we traveled to Pratt, our people did very well against higher-ranked belts. I was very proud of them. ” Mike Hardie blocks an attempted kick by Keith Burton during the In- Class Karate Tournament. Phil Haase and Connie Lowry admire the medals that were attained at na tionals. 32 RHA’s improve surroundings Rhona Schweitzer, Rick Sporn and Marsha Kittle enjoy the new com¬ mons area. Pam Hammond, makes signs advertising the Home Ec Club’s Caramel Apple Day. The Resident Housing Assistants were involved in different areas. The three committees were the Specialties and Fund¬ raising committee, which arranged and planned special events for the on-campus students; the Food Service com¬ mittee, which helped plan a four-week menu cycle; and the Intramural and Publicity committee which got the students involved in the intramural activities and also publicized all RH A events. This year’s RHA group planned a Spring Fling which in¬ cluded a week full of fun and excitement. A movie marathon and a casino night with play money were two of the favorites that took place. The RHA’s purchased a 50-inch screen t.v. and a VHS tape and disc unit which allowed the students to view almost any movie that they wanted. One hundred 3-feet square pil¬ lows were purchased to let the students lounge while watch¬ ing the movies. The group also installed all of the furniture in the t.v. room of the commons building. Though the big fundraiser was money from aluminum cans, RHA also received a percentage of money from the washing machines and dryers. The OTA’s fund raisers provide money for their members to attend the annual OT conference. This year the conference was held in Portland, Oregon. Shelley Brown, and Candace Dextras attended with the advisor Bob Ayers. The club sponsored a movie, a bake sale and a consession stand as part of their fund-raisers. Another club, Data Processing, offers students with an interest in computers, a chance to get together and have a good time with other students with similar interests. To begin the new year, they sponsored a road rally. A course was laid out by Scott McCoy, computer instructor. There were several intersections where the driver had to decide which direction to take. These were marked by a diamond-shaped design painted on the sand or road. If he chose the right road, he came upon a circle a mile down the road. The winners were John Albers and David Novotony who reached the designated picnic spot first. The road rally was an exercise in the decision making process used in computer program¬ ming. David Novotny takes a needed break from the course. 34 Bob Ayers, Instructor of Occupational Thearapy uses Aqua-plast to form a splint.

The 1983 Spoke staff faced many misfortunes. The many ups and downs forced the small staff to put in extra hours to complete the yearbook. Of course, with all of this added pres¬ sure, tempers sometimes flared when they may not have nor¬ mally occurred. However, this brought the group closer to¬ gether. Everybody realized that these were times that they would not forget.

The staff consisted of 17 members who man¬ aged to work very well together. Also, during the state jour¬ nalism convention, Sheryl Gaines, assistant editor, received first place in feature writing. In addition, Dale Hogg and David Maneth received honorable mention for their photo essays.

Robbie Seder and Serena McCall model for high school students. Lower right; The word “growing” reflected the art program this past year. The premier showing of the C.E. Denman Collection highlighted a year of workshops, seminars and daily displays of art works. The Denman Collection was donated to the College in De¬ cember 1981 by Mrs. Cedric Denman. The 506-piece collec¬ tion features the work s of such artists as Whistler, Dali, Rogers and Picasso. The collection has been appraised at $212,000. Charles B. Rogers, known as the “Kansan”, appeared to display his works contained in the collection as well as works which he brought with him. April 17, 1983, found Mrs. De¬ nman, Rogers and the Barton County Community College Foundation joining forces to present the first portion of the display to the community. Several hundred people viewed the works and attended a banquet honoring Denman and Rogers. “The students benefit from the collection by being able to actually see the pieces rather that looking at them from slides,” said Jon Ulm, ceramics and drawing instructor. “A lot is lost in the slides; thickness of the mediums, textures of reliefs and size representation. It’s the impact in its real state that makes the difference.” Growth was also reflected by the workshops and seminars which featured such people as Oscar Lamar, water colorist, and Tom Esser, specialist in airbrush technique. With the help of the nine art scholarship students, the halls of the Fine Arts building glowed with works of art throughout the year. Steve Dudek, painting instructor, said, “We’ve had the best coverage ever this spring semester as far as art shows are con¬ cerned. We’ve had a show on display every day.” With high goals to accomplish, Tonya Heit, modeling in¬ structor, went to work with 17 club members and 14 stu¬ dents. “I wanted them to be able to handle a show without my supervision if need be. They were wonderful, this has been my best year yet,” said Heit. The modeling students performed more shows in the spring semesters than ever before. They were involved in a variety of shows, tea-room modeling, informal modeling, commentary shows, ramp modeling and mannequin model¬ ing. “I wanted the community and the businesses to see that my students were responsible while displaying the stores’ clothing, and 1 felt they were, ” said Heit. 40 Leah Broadfoot, Heidi Eller, Shellie Seeman, Roxanne Hudnall and Cheerleaders and Cougar Kittens support the Cougars Cheerleaders and Cougar Kittens backed the Cougar athletic teams. Both organizations worked together in painting spirit-filled posters and cheering at pep assemblies to generate a little extra enthusiasm. Sheila Wells review the cheers selected for a pep assembly.

Bonnie Gehring, 1983-84 Student Senate President, takes the stage to accept her new office. Students dressed in their best sheets as Spring Fest began with Toga day on Monday, May 2. During the lunch hour, candidates for Student Senate offices presented campaign speeches. On Tuesday, students voted for the student senators and enjoyed the group “Voices.” Some of the bolder students dressed with their clothing on backward in keeping with the dress theme of the day. Wednesday brought Western day to the BCCC front. (Cap) gun fights and card games transformed the Union into the “Old West.” Thursday students and faculty exhibited their strength and technique in the wrist-wrestling competition. Winners were Scott McCoy, lightweight; Mike Herzog, middleweight; David Thill, flyweight; and Carol Dreiling, women ' s division. That evening an Inaugural Ball and banquet was held to honor the incoming officers. BCCC students elected Bonnie Gehring as the new President, Tim Richardson as Historian and Adam Keener as Senator at Large. The band “Blubird” played for the dance. Sports are for everyone David Bumpas and Alan Foos battle-it-out to the end. Intramural sports were designed for the students’ enjoy¬ ment of extracurricular activities. Students who participated in intramural sports were eligible to win t-shirts and caps. One of the bigger events that took place was the Coors Intramural Fest, a week filled with games such as horseshoes, football toss and the frisbee throw. Coordinator of intramural sports, Mary Massey said, “You don’t have to be an accomplished athlete to participate; it’s more or less just for fun and relaxa¬ tion.” Cai Calvert sets the ball for one of her teammate’s power- slam. Lee Keffer, Tim Johnson, Steve Sneath (ball carrier), and Fred Johnson play hard at imtramural flag football. 44 “UGH!!!”—Jeff Langrher catches a pop fly. 45 YOUNG TEAM WINS SECOND PLACE AT WESTERN SUB-RE¬ GIONAL The Barton County Cougars of Coach Leon Cox and his assistant Ted Gardner had somewhat of a rollercoaster sea¬ son. The poor spring weather and the tough schedule com¬ bined to cause problems. Despite an early season road trip to Oklahoma leaving the Cougars with an 0-6-1 start, the Cougars turned what could have been a disappointing sea¬ son into a satisfying season winning 13 out of their last 24 games. Their second place finish included a final game to de¬ cide who would go on from the Western Sub-Regional tour¬ nament. Although a young team, the Cougars next year could very well be a powerhouse.

COUGAR WOMEN WIN CONFERENCE TITLE Carol Dreiling Named All-American The BCCC volleyball team of Jean Haffner just barely missed qualifying for nationals this past season. The team had a second place finish at the Region VI championship held at Hesston Col¬ lege. BCCC, however, did have an All-Region VI pick as Carol Dreiling was named to that team for the second straight year. In addition, Dreiling was named first team All-American. The lady Cougars did manage a very impressive season going 34-6 for the year. They earned the conference title with a perfect 6-0 record. Attempting a spike high in the air is Serena McCall. Enthusiasm plays an important role in Cougar volleyball as Brenda Jurgensen demonstrates. 47 FORE-Dale Winfrey lines upan often mistaken “easy” putt to the hole. The golf team at Barton suffered this year mainly from lack of practice time due to bad weather conditions. Dale Winfrey, a returning sophomore, was the leader of the six-man crew. The Cross Country teams finished the 1982-83 year plac¬ ing third in the Region. Brian Renshaw was selected as an All- American and Paula Berquist took first in the Women ' s Re¬ gional. 48 — Almost to the end!- Cade Nagy is reassured of his position by Donita Heier and George Morrison. 49 Cougars Find Competition Stiff 50 Without work there is no need to dream; without dreams there is no need to work. The Lady Cougars lived their motto as they worked for the wins they envisioned. They received first place in the Western Jayhawk Conference with 12 wins and 0 losses. Behind their best season record, Bart keeps a young Cougar fan entertained during half time. Craig I hompson wears the Cougar suit. 29-4, they captured second place in the Region VI Championships. The Cougar men found competition to be tough and wins hard to snare as the season progressed. Although they had an overall record of 14 wins and 18 losses, the Cougars kept their fighting team spirit and exhibited good sportsmanship. Two team members, Chris George and Greg Gordon, went on to play in the East-West All Star Game. Filled with determination, Steve Stokes looks f or an open shot.

After several postponements due to weather, the women’s softball team was initiated into the sports program with a dou¬ ble header against Butler County. The first game was split, with the Cougars winning the first game 8-2 and Butler County taking the second game 10-5. Coach Tom Moorhous commented, “They did an ex¬ tremely good job for a first year team.” With 15 wins and 7 losses they tied with Butler County for first in the Western Jayhawk Conference. They also finished fifth in Region VI in Kansas City. Determination, stamina and staying power were qualities the Cougar men s and women’s track team exhibited. The Cougars put in long hours of hard work and repetitious prac¬ ticing to perfect their techniques and to improve their times. The Cougar season was highlighted by many new records, the Jayhawk Confer ence Championship and the Region VI Indoor Regional Championship by both the men’s and the women’s teams.

Many tears of joy and sor¬ row were shared by friends and relatives of the graduates. This was the first time in several years in which the graduates were forced to line up in the swimming pool area because of rain. However this did not dampen the occasion the least bit. The commencement included the Rev. Charles L. Tews giving the invocation and the benediction to graduates of 83. Also, the first Distinguished Instructor Award was presented to Sherman Nystrom, Biology instructor. Immediately fol¬ lowing the award presentation, Robert Keenan, Board of Trustees president, recognized two retiring trustees, Harold Titus and Ed Herres, for their years of service to the college. Then. Michael Braude of Kansas City, Missouri spoke to the graduates and instructors encouraging them to find happi¬ ness in one’s self. After Mr. Braude spoke, the conferring and awarding of the diplomas was next. Following the com¬ mencement exercises in honor of the students, a reception was held in the St udent Union. Joel McMullen smiles as he achieves a goal and steps into a future beyond BCCC. For the first time in several years, rain forced the graduates to assemble in the pool area of the gym. 54 Pat McAtee presents Sherman Nystrom with the first Distinguished instructor Award which will be given annually. The reci¬ pient is nominated by faculty and selected by a committee composed of community people, students and board members. Speaker Michael Braude addressed the graduates prior to presentation of the dip¬ lomas.

After many hours of labor, maintenance crews cleared away the snow and classes resumed. Barton County Community College... ever-constant yet ever- changing. No statement could better describe our school. The college nucleus (structure and function) remains the same, but the growth and distinct differences make each year unique and special. The academic year of 1982-83 saw many changes that had an immediate effect on BCCC and yet others that are being planned for the near future. However, the differences that set this year apart from all the others included new buildings, can¬ celled classes and instructor resignations. One of the first noticeable additions was that of the new earth- sheltered housing. These units housed four people that shared a common bath while two shared each bedroom. Other addi¬ tions to BCCC in the near future include those to the Fine Arts building and the Technical building. Two days and nights of cancelled classes highlighted the winter for many students (especially those in student housing). Following semester break, a blizzard caused housing students to remain on campus for two days while others were sealed out. After many hours of hard work, the maintenance crew cleared away the snow and classes resumed. Trustees elections found new faces being added to the Board, which meant saying good-bye to former ones. Although several resignations left openings for new faculty members, the one which was probably most noticed by students was that of Dr. Harrell Guard, assistant dean of instruction. He resigned from BCCC and will be the dean of instruction at Labette Community College next year. As stated in the Interrobang. “Even though students are sad to see Dr. Guard go. all they can do is wish him the best. BCCC is losing more than an assistant dean of instruc¬ tion, it is losing an outstanding human being, an inspirational leader and a person who loves life and loves sharing his happi¬ ness even more. Memories and plans were made during the year, but Barton County Community College will always remain a growing cam¬ pus with some of the best programs in the state of Kansas. Dr. Harrell Guard joins students in a game of “Simon Says” during “Fun in the Sun Daze . Guard added zest to everything he participated in while at BCCC. This was his last year here. 59 Administrators and Board Members President Jimmie Downing Board of Trustees: Jim Heaton. Richard Kimple. Robert Keenan. Ed Herresand George Tregellas.

The times when deadlines had been missed and the hours of typesetting were long. This poem spoke true for me, because what I have now are memories. I have many thanks to offer friends, relatives and my staff for sticking by with encouragement. Now it is time for the last page to be finished. I felt that sharing this poem would be appropriate, since the words gave me encouragement on several occasions. This page intentionally left blank.
