BOBCAT Basehor High School Basehor, Kansas Editor: Elaine Klamm Assistant Editor: Sponsor: Debbie Walden Betty Zang People’s lives are built on memories ... Some we soon forget .. . and others will linger on for- ever. 1968-69 was a good year at Basehor. There were glorious victories, such as Basehor’s win over Tonganoxic, and the agony of defeat. We hope your memories of this year will not be dimmed by time as the 1969 Bobcat staff has tried to capture these moments between the covers of this book. Herein are these memories. 2 Congratulations Class of 1969! Your high school days are ended. That coveted diploma is yours. It alone means little but what you have learned during your twelve years of schooling means much. Have you learned to get along with others and to consider their viewpoints on problems you have shared? Have you developed the ability to stand on your own against the crowd when you know you are right? Have you learned how to approach a problem, re- search it and come up with valuable conclusions on your own? If you can say you have accomplished these things, then you have earned some of the marks of an educated man or woman. You are ready to begin to build a good life for you and those with whom you will eventually share the respon- sibilities of a home. Notice I said you are ready to begin. All your life, you will continue to learn, to adjust to new conditions and to search for new experiences. I hope you will look back upon your days at BUS and feel that they were good days-days of joy and of accom- plishment. Farewell, Class of 1969 and God speed. Ward L. Kiester, Superintendent At Work and Play Dear Students: This has been a good year at Basehor High School. I am sure there have been some enjoyable moments and experi- ences for all of you. I hope that as you look at these pages you will be able to recall all those happenings that have brought light to your life. 1 also hope that the things you have done this year, the goals you have reached and the plateaus you have achieved have allowed you to grow and to mature as young adults. To you seniors I would like to say congratulations and to thank you for a most rewarding year. Good luck in your vocations and future education in the coming years. To you underclassmen I would like to pass out compli- ments for your achievements and to encourage you to con- tinue to grow so that you can return to Basehor High School next fall as more mature, more accomplished stu- dents. See you next year. Sincerely, James E. Campbell, Principal 4 Mr. Wayne D. Trail Mr. Eugene H. Poggemeyer Mr. Robert L. Williamson Mr. Jimmy R. Elder Mr. Ralph A. Eberth Mr. Howard G.

Our class has accom- plished much during our four years here and have much to be proud of. Not only have we promoted scholarship and built up respect which is traditional of every Senior Class, but we have built a tradition of spirit which 1 hope will be passed on through the years from class to class. I wish to thank the Senior Class of 69 for all of their support and hard work. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Chris Anderson, who has given us leadership and advice as our class sponsor. Now 1 wish you, the members of the class of 69, much happiness and prosperity in whichever field of life you choose. 1 hope that you will never forget the many wonderful hours we have spent here together. I’m sure the great Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Nine will long be re- membered at Basehor High School. Much Luck and Happiness, Larry P.

Tather Schwalm’s message is of a beginning. Senior Memories The seniors finish their high school years at Class Night with the famous senior quartette, at graduation walking through the arch and listening to the message of the speaker. 21 The Jr. Class not only worked for themselves this year, but they helped support the football, baseball, and track teams. Although we weren’t as successful as some classes, we did win the spirit jug twice-once by a quick moving president who with fast fingers and penny rolls, and the other J y being the best wood gatherers. Although we didn't win more, we didn’t lose our spirit by having boy cheer- leaders represent our class with an amusing cheer. We also had a representative from our class give a short speech on spirit. Though the Jr. class is a little smaller than a couple of other classes, we tried harder. One of the highlights of the Jr. year is the Junior-Senior Prom. This year the theme was “Paris by Night”. It had a 24’ Eiffel Tower as the main attraction. To highlight the tower, we had sidewalk cafes. Many long hours of work went into the prom, but we owe many thanks to our 3 sponsors, Mr. Garrison, Mrs. Grube, and Mrs. Foreman. If we hadn’t had the help of these people, our prom would have been twice as hard. So we thank Mr. Garrison for the construction of the tower and other less important articles, Mrs. Grube for the help with the candy sales which helped make this prom possible, and Mrs. Foreman who sponsored our class parties which we all enjoyed, and the concession stand at the football games. We thank all 3 of them for the great year that they helped us to have and we hope that next year will be as fruitful for them as for us. This year was the third year that the class of “70” has had their King and Queen candidates win the honor of King and Queen of the Music Carnival. This year the Spook house, in its first year, along with the sponge throw and the fish pond, helped our candidates win. Our candidates were Jerry Williamson and Deane Shirley. The Jr. class is proud of our king and queen and will try to continue our tradi- tion of winning. 22 Dear Juniors: Your participation and continued interest have made our junior year one of the most memorable of our lives. There are many people to be thanked for their hard work and long hours. Foremost among these are Mrs. Grube, Mrs. Foreman, and Mr. Garrison for without their cooperation and helpful voice our job would have been much more difficult.

To the “Class of 71”, As Sophomores we’ve undertaken an additional year to add to our education; one which will carry many memories of success, happiness, and some disappointments shared by us all. We tackled new and different experiences and projects which re- sulted as: our winning decorated car of the spirit jug in the week of BHS’s Homecoming; the “Cheap Charlie Sale”; bright and creative carnival booths; a concession stand at the TCL basketball tourna- ments; ...........1 believe this year has been quite profitable and suc- cessful which definitely could not have been so without the coopera- tion, determination, and hard work of all those who contributed; for this 1 extend my deep appreciation. We were quite fortunate in hav- ing such a concerned and helpful sponsor as Coach Richard Johnson. Having completed the first half of our high school years, each of us should be proud to be a member of the class of “71”, and strive to complete our remaining years to the best of our abilities. Sophomore President, Marian Gravatt Stuco representative David Banzhaf Stuco representative Mary Williams Class Annual editor 28 The Sophomore class made love flowers in their Great Teepee of Flowers at the 1968-69 Music Carnival. The love flowers and other booths were popular but not popular enough to get Carnival Royalty for the Sophomore Class. Besides the Great Teepee of Flowers the Sophomores had a Dart Throw and Coin Toss. Coach Johnson, the class spon- sor, helped the Sophomores plan and decorate their three booths. You call this gym class? To the Sophomore girls rolling footballs with their noses it is not unusual. Coach Johnson and the helpers had the girls dribbling footballs, tumbling on the mats, swinging on the rings, playing soccer, volley- ball, or playing softball outside. After a year of gym class there were many bumps, bruises, and sore muscles, but there was also a lot of fun and laughter. Would you believe that this is Leonard Klamm and he’s in Geometry class? Geometry class took some work but also had fun. Like here, when the girls put make-up on Leonard. Mr. Franklin, the teacher, sometimes joined in on the fun, but most of the time he just watched us. Believe it or not, we also learned a little about working Geometry. 29 After hard competition Sandy Porter is proud to say she has made Sophomore President for the Class of 72. The class officers for next year are Vice-President Pat Kreut .er, Secretary-Treasurer Paul Runnels, Student Council Repre- sentatives are Anita Gravatt, and David Chiles. The great class of “72” is at hard work in 3rd hour gym class. In this picture we are playing soccer. It is another one of those dreary days in April that it is raining cats and dogs. Our Drivers Education class has improved quite a bit since school has begun. Gene Kelly is one of our better driv- ers and Mr. Jennings is not as daring to ride in the car with him, as he is some other students. Our class owes a lot to Mr. Jennings for teaching us Drivers Education this year. 30 FRESHMEN ARE PROUD IN 69 Elaine Aldridge Keith Archambeau Cindy Arthur Ralph Bailey Gene Kelly President Fellow Members of the Class of 72, It has been an honor to be the President of the Freshman Class of 1968-69. It is an honor just to be a member of the class. The Class of 72 will be the best class ever to come out of Basehor High School. Within our class there are brilliant students, outstanding athletes, hard workers, cute girls, good-looking boys, and all-around good kids. I’m proud to be a member of the Freshman Class and in behalf of my classmates, I would like to thank Mr. Ambrose Jen- nings for his help and guidance during our freshman year at Basehor High School.

V, Pep Revitalizes BHS The year of 68-69 has been an exciting year for assem- blies. For the first time in the history of BHS there was a bonfire, pep rally, and float contest held to spur our team to victory. ’69 seniors show off spirit at rally.

This year their candidates and eventual winners were Jerry Williamson and Deane Shirley. Other candidates included Seniors Elaine Klamm and Leon Tate, Sopho- mores Kathy Petitt and Leonard Klamm, and Freshmen Doug Green and Anita Gravatt. Especially popular addi- tions to the carnival were the Senior’s “Laugh-In,” the Junior’s “Spook House,” and the Freshman “Jail- house.” Esti- mated profits for the Music dept, were $700.

The Class floats were designed in a competition for the Spirit Jug, with the Sophomores’ “Claw the Mustangs” theme chosen the winner. Princess Marilyn and escort Roy Musick.

The formal finale to the 1969-70 performances was the Spring Concert. 59 The Honor Society of 1968-69 consists of Mark Theno, Marie Wiley, Doris Klantm. Tim Millsap, Connie Bates, Pain Thomas, Kay Newman and Gail Gravatt. Gail Gravatt explains the virtues of service and leadership. Pam Thomas reads the pledge as new members take the oath. The National Honor Society has changed its rules for membership. Instead of having a B+ grade average, now the top ten percent of the class is eligible for membership. The faculty then chooses the new members on the basis of leadership, character and service to the school. Each year the Daughter’s of the American Revolution chooses a senior girl who shows outstanding leadership. This year’s recipient is Kay Newman, Kay was chosen for this award because she participated in Horizon Club, Spanish Club, Girls State, Annual and Breeze Staff, National Honor Society, and was President of the Pep Club. Kay Newman recipient of the DAR award. 60 Larry Eyerly enjoyed Boy’s State. Boys State gives a boy a chance to learn how the govern- ment is run. It gives the boy a chance to participate in an election where he has to campaign vigorously, write a cam- paign speech, and finally wait for the outcome of the voting. This gives them the chance to win or lose gracefully. Mark Grube was one of BUS representative. Albert Knapp another representative of BHS. Girls take test to become lawyers. Girl Staters show their talent in a skit. Girl’s State is an experience that gives a girl insight to the way her country’s government is run. At Girl’s State a girl actually runs for of- fice, is elected, and goes through the processes of govern- ment. At Girl’s State a girl also makes many friendships that may last throughout her life. Kay Newman enjoyed Girl’s State. 61 For the first time the Pep Club has given the award of Pepster to students who have done out- standing things to promote spirit. Four pepsters were se- lected for the award by making special posters, serving as chairmen on com- mittees, and one was selected for making homecoming crowns and the Bobcat em- blem. 1968-69 Pepsters promote spirit.

Letters were passed out and a review of all sports was given by the coaches. We were honored by the presence of Jeff Simons, head basketball coach at Kansas City, Kansas Junior College, who spoke on, “What it Takes to be a Champion.” It was a very inspiring address. The meal, served by Pep Club members, consisted of: Ham, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Rolls, Relishes and Cake and Ice Cream. The Pep Club hopes that this will become an annual event.
