Ehilibila There must have been a time at Blue Springs High when students participated in school activities with vigor. And then there is the current situation where the same few students are in- volved in all activities. Reliable rumor has it that larger schools have a better percentage of participation. So. again, perhaps we're at an in-between stage-in- between total participation of the past days of glory and the overwhelming apathy of the present. An O-10 football season was blamed for a great deal of the lack of student spirit. Others put the blame on the senior class, but few would deny that the old Blue Springs spirit had seriously diminished. The future appears brighter with new club spon- sors appointed for next year. ln fact, few club and organization sponsors will re- tain their former posts. Movement to the Middle Six Conference should also prove an exciting addition to the schedule of events. MAKING CAT TRACKS. Becky Rodgers leads the Pep Club during the 1975 Homecoming parade.

Blue Springs, not generally con- sidered a hotbed of action. did serve its populace well by being located only 1 8 miles from down- town Kansas City. Popular spots included the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. home of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs: Kemper Arena, home of the Scouts and Kings and in- numerous rock concerts: Worlds of Fun: and Pogo's. a nightime spot. When the gas gauge dropped and the pocketbook emptied, there was always Blue Springs. 8-Hang-Outs .,., 1 LL 1 Q S N t -:- -111 FOOSBALL ADDICT.

Zarda Dairy came into its own both as a place to work and to shop. Patricio's and Zarda's Hickory Pitt were two new establishments that just opened in the spring-to the delight of students and parents alike. For the adventure-lover there was also Lake Jacomo. The options weren't really what you'd call impressive. but they did exist. There was something to do in Blue Springs-even without money. 255- OAKLAND SERIES PLEASE.

Q, , sAs?'wqs-elssttzk' lrowrm end gown mums Blue Springs may not be as well known as Bean Town or Philadelphia, but its history has been colorful and exciting. Until 1960 Blue Springs was a tired little town. lt was then that interstate 70 was proposed. The phenomenal growth experienced by the city as a result of the in- terstate traffic caught city planners off guard and the result was mass confusion in the planning and nam- ing of subdivision streets. Historically the city is not that old. Prior to 1951 Blue Springs did not even have an organized school district. Now 6,000 plus students are enrolled in five elementary schools. tvvo junior highs and one senior high. W. .' ' QL- T-. X fr.. N. ' V ' Y -'C' - 1- W 21 psig sk. t -1 A 1- . Y' W X . -35. .5 Q wi .

The local Bicenten- nial committee attempted to purchase'the old railroad depot for use as a museum, but with little success. The Chicago!AIton House, a relic of the old railroad days was of- ficially recognized and designated an integral part of the heritage of Blue Springs. The original site of the springs was at Woods Chapel Fioad and Walnut Street where a well now stands. The Bicentennial com- mittee planted new trees along Woods Chapel Road leading to the springs. Bicentennial activities at the high school met with little or no response from the students. Perhaps the problem was simp- ly one of being burnt out. Perhaps this generation that saw a presi- dent abdicate his elected position: saw a vice president plead no contest to a tax evasion charge: and saw their country lose its first war found little meaning in a national celebration. But few would trade the democracy granted by this country to its citizenry for another more restrictive form of government. I NK is QQ?-S bf?-ii 'fidf NivT'nu., ' IYQZSX Nasa Q-.Q X t.

S lt was a Bicentennial blast at Homecoming 1 975. The dance, parade, and Spirit Week all got into the spirit of the nation's Bicentennial celebration. Senior candidate Jean Markey reigned over the Homecoming festivities that began slowly with Spirit Week. Each day of the week was scheduled for a different activity. Most of the planned events were poorly participated in by students and faculty members who general- ly elected to passively view the minority get involved. The seniors proved to be double winners during the week as they also were victorious with their float entry of Ring Liberty's BelI. Seniors also were unofficial winners of the float water bomb competition. Sophomores, general- ly unprepared for such activity, were decided losers. The lack of student involvement was generally blamed on a winless season. The Wildcats proved the theory correct by losing to a strong Liberty team 34-O. The loss failed to dampen spirits as students and alumni moved into the Civic Center the following evening for the Homecoming Dance and the crowning ofthe queen. Dirt Road. an area rock group played for the dance. The final Homecoming activities closed the fall social season. Disap- pointment and excitement mixed for a successful weekend for students, faculty and alumni. 1 6 Homecoming FACULTY DANCE.

A time for excite- ment. tears, joy and sorrow. A time for involvement. Probably no other single event in a students high school career is as involving as the annual Homecom- ing celebration. A return to the Friday night game and Saturday night dance marked a change in the activities. Opponents demonstrated a desire to shy away from a Saturday after- noon game. Scheduling was even more complicated as students and teachers were not in school on the day of Homecoming as a result of a district teacher's meeting. Spirit Week wasn't really an overall success. and a planned bon- fire Thursday evening was cancel- ed before the first match had even been lit due to a lack of organization and student interest. The pageantry of Homecoming. however, was present as ever. Jean Nlarkey. senior, wore her crown radiantly and the class can- didates: Fran Cervantes, senior: Kelly Sullivan, Terri Jenkins. juniors: and Terri Baumgardner, Linda Marble, sophomores served as a most attractive court. Jean was crowned by 1974 Queen Carla Jones at halftime of the Liberty-Blue Springs Contest. Homecoming didn't offer much to the alumni, but in recent years that element really hasn't had much emphasis. Homecoming was for the stu- dent body-at least in the minds of the student body.

These activities helped psyche up players and fans alike in preparation for the Liberty contest. Cheerleaders and Pep Club members prepared lunches for players on the day of the game to shore up sagging appetites on the grid squad. When the Marching Wildcats lead the 1975 Homecoming Parade down Main Street, it was apparent to all spectators that the climax of a hectic and hurried week was at hand. The pageantry was present even if the doom was in the air for the contest's outcome. The Wildcats fell to a strong Liberty squad 34-O to record their fifth straight loss. ! . ,gi ,-if 3 fffdf HANGING AROUND. students line ROYALTY: Linda Marble.

Attendance seemed to improve at the dances for the first time in many years. These formal occasions provid- ed an opportunity for students to switch from patched jeans to a more formal attire. Dinner manners also were brushed up on as students ignored IVlcDonald's-at least for the even- ing, to select a restaurant with just a bit more atmosphere.

Through character portrayals. one life can live many roles. A physically fit student learns to res- pond to life as a handicapped human. invigorating youth becomes depressing age. Each ac- tive student can empathize with death. Few realize the emotional aspects of performing under the scrutiny of a crowd: the pain of six weeks of practice: the desire to do well. The fall dramatic offering of the theater department, TeIl Me that You Love Nle .Junie Moon em- bodied these elements of perfor- ming.

Humor is hard to achieve. Everyone has their own concept of just what is funny. So how does a production become humorous? Working to cue lines at the precise moment to achieve the full intent of a line is one way. Even the basic blocking must be timed to the second to gain the desired effect. Gramercy Ghost caught the spirit of comedy even if, in all cases. the audiences did not. DRESS REHEARSAL allows the op- portunity for mistakes as Donna Parker requests suggestions for im provement.

S S bfudcnie It's easy to be a high school student-you always have a built- in excuse. And then comes the day of doom when someone mentions the future and our plans for it. THE FUTURE? What's that? We've spent the last three years in senior high school biding our time until graduation. When the realization that graduation will soon arrive. the panic button is pushed and counselors' appointment calendars fill up. The options are limitless. but the openings are. Whether it is ad- vanced schooling, a full-time job, or training for a future position. it's the decision that counts. and it's the decision that will determine our future. There is definitely a security about those high school years-a security that few secondary students would readily admit to. This security is oftentimes the downfall of future decision making for students. The typical response from graduates is, Why didn't you force me to work harder when l was in high school? These grads have already learned the hard way about the facts of life from the School of Hard Knocks. The decision to make some thing of our high school years is ours. And it's a decision we will have to live with-despite a built-in excuse.

Next year Junior English will be offered and sophomores will be required to take a full year course in history. While interest in basic courses is returning, academic-oriented clubs suf- fered from a lack of student involvement and interest. Other clubs also found in- terest iwaning as Business Club officially folded: Girls' Athletic Association and Future Teachers of America struggled: and B-Club was non-existent. With new sponsors taking over the reigns of leadership in some areas next year. perhaps greater student in- volvement will result. Maybe optimistically. we're just at an in-between stage.

State senators were calling for a statewide assessment educational program that would include statewide testing for high school seniors. The original reaction from the typical high school student is negative. Testing and its effects are creating turmoil as students con- tinue to push A42 pencils over IBM score sheets. Fridays generally rank as the favorite test day by instructors. It is not unreasonable to hear of a stu- dent with six tests in one day. Examinations tested knowledge and the lack of it. and sometimes just the testability of students. The end result of testing. unfor- tunately, is often times cheating. Although Blue Springs High does not have an honor code, cheating was still dealt with as a serious offense. Cheating attempts were hampered by the use of com- puterized tests which became more and more popular this year with the addition of the new grading machine. The machine aided teacher ef- forts and even encouraged the use of testing for evaluative purposes. particularly in the form of multiple guess sq uestions. Testing: mental harrassment.

Q l N , X edgy An alternative to the structured educational program was just an idea one year ago. Now, 21 graduates later, the Blue Springs Alternative School has proved itself worthy of crea- tion. The alternative school was designed to aid those students who had difficulties adjusting to the traditional classroom structure at the junior and senior high school level. The alternative school classes were held in the lower level of the Administrative Service Center. In order to be admitted to the school. applicants had to be referred and interviewed. ln some cases a number of interviews were necessary prior to a student's ad- mission. An individualized program of studies was scheduled for each student. This program was based on the results of diagnostic testing. INTERVIEW.

The majority of students held either part-time or full-time jobs in addition to their studies. Some maintained homes and families. A student was able to earn from a minimum of one-half credit to a maximum of 1 5 credits in a variety of subjects. Mr. Mark Yehle, served as direc- tor of the alternative school and Mr. Keck Miller and Ms. Kathy Myerscough were in charge of in- struction. Diversity, the mother of inven- tion, was the key to the flexibility demonstrated in the alternative school. Some students attended classes at the alternative school while also attending regular classes at the junior or senior high school. The Manpower program also aided alternative school students by providing jobs. The Blue Springs Fl-IV School District prides itself in providing a contemporary, progressive educational program. The creation of the alternative school is just another step in this proper direc- tion. At the commencement exer- cises, 21 students were represen- tatives of the alternative school. h X - Xg-hh A ' ,,xx A . xAXxxx. .... ,Ki. 1 X:,A ml h J X N, r s-- X :K , fivwprffjx. N -S.

The new Butler Fine Arts Building will house all segments of the department under one roof. Class enrollments in fine arts classes continued to climb in proportion to a rapidly expanding enrollment.

Liberal arts instructors made ready use of audio visual equip- ment to enhance their educational offerings. A return to the basics could be noted in both the language arts department and the social studies area. Social studies is adding a full- year required course in American History and language arts will begin offering Junior English next year.

In fact. it may have been one of the longest years ever. Elected officials generally failed to follow through with their office duties and by semester, only two managed to show up for meetings. Many blamed the lack of interest on the rumor that GAA was to be phased out. Others blamed it on the leadership. The situation became so dismal that powderpuff basketball had to be cancelled because the seniors were unable to drum up enough in- terest to field a five-woman team. GAA continued to sponsor its annual powderpuff football game, the Girls' Pay All Dance, and in- tramural competition. The emphasis in GAA next year will be on the intramural program.

The members raised the money by selling chocolate bars at the beginning of the year and sponsoring a car wash. Also to earn money and promote spirit, the club sold rib- bons printed with victory slogans. During the year, to encourage membership, the club had a few ac- tivities. The most popular activity was the slumber party. Another event to aid in keeping interest high was the awards banquet. Membership dwindled toward the end of the year as many members dropped out to play girls' basketball. Overall the pep squad did a good job after the rough spots were iron- ed out. Leadership seemed to be lacking by the inexperiehced junior officers. but as the year continued the officers gained confidence.

' It was a year when not a single championship trophy was added to the display case. But it was also a year that saw the Suburban Small Six Sportsmanship Trophy return to Blue Springs after a year's absence. While varsity level com- petition was down, prospects for the future look bright as junior varsity. sophomore and especially freshman scouting reports were positive.

The team couldn't seem to shake its slow start until midway through the season. They finished 4th in the CMSU Invitational. and 3rd in the Marshall Invitational. They continued to look better after taking a dual from Belton. but then dropped off to a disappointing 5th place in conference. Cross Country BSHS Center.

After losing every game in an entire season, we were probably some of the best losers in the state. There wasn't anything we couldn't lose. We lost fans, games, and even players. About the only thing we didn't lose during the season was the am- bulance. It showed up for every game. and even made guest appearances at several practices. lt seemed as if everyone was in- jured. At some time in the season. we all got hurt. Ankle injuries were the most common, they sold for about a dime a dozen. Shoulder and rib injuries were a little more expen- sive, but we got them on a red light special. The squad was hit by gradua- tion: there were only three seniors on the team to start with, and two of them were hurt early in the season. Pre-season predictions for the team were bad, but we went one step further by turning in a terrible season. Near the end of the season. when our patience with parents, fans, and cheerleaders was at an all-time low, we stopped making excuses. We stretched the truth a little, whenever anyone asked, we just told them, we're between wins. LET'S GET IT GOING.

The open space Football-97 lf necessity is the mother of in- vention, then losing is the father of excuses. For us, this wasn't your typical losing season. It was the type of losing season that produces hundreds and thousands of ex- cuses. If anyone had known at the start of the season that we would finish O-10: if anyone had known at the start of the season that the starting lineup would look like refugees from a nursing home: if anyone had known that by the end of the season we would have scored only seven touchdowns for a grand total of 45 points, while giving up 303 points: if anyone had known, they would have called off the season. and put out the notice: Wait till next year. We did lose an awful lot, and by the end of the year, there were few among us who didn't look like the paleface portion of Custer's Last Stand. We had an idea that we would get beat by some of the larger teams, but it was the losses to usually timid teams like Excelsior Springs and suprising Belton that proved to be the low point of the season. Through it all, there was still a little to celebrate about at the end of the season. For instance, James Merrell senior, made the all-conference first team, and honorable mention all- area. Bob Crowson, also a senior. made second team all-conference. and second team, all-area. Mark Wallace, senior, made honorable mention on the all- conference and all area teams. Flon Cassel, senior, made all- conference honorable mention. Besides being named to post season teams, Merrell was also selected to participate in the first annual high school All Star game. between Kansas and Missouri. Steve Heerman was named the most inspirational player. When the awards had been handed out, and the equipment handed in, there were very few fond memories for the seniors on the team. For the underclassmen. there was not much more. For the fans, there had been very little to cheer about. For the coaches there were excuses. a trip back to the drawing board, and an attitude of, Wait till next year. 98 Football lllait till next ge ar DOWN SET.

The team, which was hampered by inexperience, struggled against a very strong schedule. Starting the season against Center, the varsity Cats were shut out. It wasn't until the thirdigame of the season that the team even scored a point. when they lost to Liberty 1-4. With only four seniors on the team. underclassmen had to take the brunt of the responsibility. The junior varsity team, although also winless, was involved in several close games.

There was great improvement in the JV players. which means the potential is present for a good season in varsity this coming year. - TENNIS: iFront Rowl Anne Scott, Martha Brownfield, Karen Tanton.

Setting the ball for a spike is a very important part of the game as Janet Reynolds demonstrates. Wildcat spikers took the bumpy road in competition as the season was highlighted by several ups and downs. Losing their first UNO conference matches almost put the team in the cellar from the start. But after beating Center, and finishing third in the Winnetonka Tournament, it looked as if the Cats were finally untracked. Things didn't get better: only worse. Losing to Liberty at home was the straw that broke the Wild- cat's baci-1. as they managed to vvin only three more games the rest of the season. One high point for the year is the promise of next year. With only five players leaving to graduation. and four returning letterwomen, things look better. KEEP IT IN PLAY.

With the coming of fall, and the hunting season, Blue Springs students shed their pencils and books and took to the woods along with hundreds of other Missourians in search of relaxation, and relief from the crowded cities and highways. Like that legendary hunter Elmer Fudd, who is always in search of live game, the hunters scoured the woods for any animal. ranging from dove, to deer, and quail. Missouri hunters separated enough cows from the real thing to record the largest number of deer ever killed in Missouri. Unlike Fudd, the happy hunter who never got a rabbit or a duck, Blue Springs hunters got their money worth. Hunting is one of the cheapest ways of relaxation. A license only cost 57.50. and you get all you can eat. ROBIN HOOD. Making like the legendary hunter, Ed Case. sophomore. aims his bow at small prey. AIM, FIRE.

High scoring Truman was held to only 45 points as they took a tough game away from the Cats in the home opener. Grandview prov- ed to be the perennial thorn in the Wildcats' foot. Not only did we play Grandview three times, but the differences in the scores added up to only one point. Mark Hatfield proved to be the catalyst that ignited the team in its next three games. With Hatfield on the mark,.the Cats finished third in the Grand- view Tournament, and went on to beat Odessa, and Fort Osage in the conference opener. The Flaytown Bluejays turned out to be a cog in the team's rally: but after losing a close game, the Cats came back with three straight wins, and a new scoring threat in Stu Sundvold. Sundvold kept them in the game against Flaytown when Hatfield was shut down. Registering their first win against Grandview put the team back on the winning path, for awhile. The Cats cgouldn't seem to put together a long string of vic- tories. After beating Excelsior Springs 63-44, and Hickman Mills 72-66 in overtime, they couldn't win the big game against Liberty. The loss to Liberty eventually came back to haunt the Cats when they made their bid for the con- ference title against Center. TIP-OFF TWOSOME.

FREE BALL. The ball is up for grabs with Mike Roberts and Stormy Floyd battling against a Truman player in the first game of the season. The season opened on a dismal note with the team losing 45-42. Going into the Lee's Summit Tournament with a record of 6-4. no one really knew what to expect. Hoping to make the semifinals of the tourney, they opened against Hickman Mills and advanced to the quarter-finals with a 78-59 victory. From there, they went up against Lee's Summit and lost a heart- breaker 58-6C. Finding themselves against Grandview again, the Cats battled for the third place trophy. They came up short once again. this time by only one point. losing 52-51. The team then went on to a very important phase of the conference season. They took the conference doormat, Belton, only to lose to the eventual conference and state champion, Center. Entering their own tournament, the Cats went further than ex- pected by finishing second. After the tourney, the team entered the bulk of the conference race. With a record of 3-2, it was definitely the most important part of the season so far. Facing Fort Osage for what seemed like the umpteenth time. the Cats pulled off yet another close game against their arch-rival. Excelsior Springs was the next game, and the Tigers were really up for their Courtwar- ming. Nevertheless, the team took Excelsior for their fifth conference win. The stage was now set for the rematch with Liberty for the runner-up position in the con- ference. CONCENTRATION. After pulling down a rebound, Doug Hatzler. senior, concentrates on scoring against Center. The Cats lost the home contest 81-53. Basketball-1 09 Cats surprise everqonezallmost The rematch with Liberty promised to be a tough game. The first game, which Liberty won. had been at Liberty, and the Cats were anxious to get the Bluejays at home. The game was close all the way, but unfortunately for the Jays, it wasn't horseshoes. The Cats won 60-55. and went on to Belton in a position to challenge Center, if they could win. The team easily beat Belton again, and then trounced a tough team from Sedalia, 60-48. Going into the last conference game against Center, the Cats were in a position to tie the Yellowjackets for the conference crown. Playing at Center proved to be too much for the team, as Center extended their winning streak to 25, and sent the Cats home in a tie for second place. The Regional game against Raytown ended the season on a down note as the Cats couldn't seem to get untracked and lost 66- 50. lt had been a year of surprises. and mild disappointments. The Cats were expected to act as the doormat, and instead took second in the conference. There's always next year for a conference title. but there's also Center. l BALL CONTROL- Mark Hatfield COD- BURNED.

After the newness had worn off, and the team had failed to set the world on fire, and the season had worn on toward the end. the pomp. fanfare. bands. and the dignitaries were nowhere to be found. Girls' basketball is nothing new to Blue Springs. ln 1956 the last game was played and the uniforms turned in for the end of the season. Not until 20 years later was the in- terest rekindled enough for the program to be revived. After a 20 year rest. the biggest problem would have to be inex- perience. The team shook the rust out, and after losing the first two games. came back to take Fort Osage and Center by surprise. After the two wins the season turned to rough sledding, as victory proved elusive. One goal that was accomplished for the year. was the number of par- ticipants in the new program. With experience, and a little luck, girls' basketball may really be revived.

A few firsts and a number of repeats summarized the Wildcats' season in wrestling. The team finished sixth in State: the highest ever in AAAA. John Evans and Ron Cassel finished fourth and first in state respectively. The team finish- ed first in the Hickman Mills Quad, and the St. Louis O' Fallon Tech Tournament. The first place finishes were the high points of the season, but the repeats weren't that bad either. Finishing 7-8 in duals was disap- pointing, but taking second place in the Fiaytown South Quad. the con- ference tou rnament, and the district tournament, was a definite high point of the season. According to Coach Chuck Sears. We had no balance. There were, in at least every match. three freshman wrestling. Tournament competition proved to be the Cats' mainstay. The worst finish in a tourney was sixth in State. Although the team wasn't as balanced as it could have been. several wrestlers led the team in meet competition and in es- tablishing records.

In a year that rivaled the R-IV school district in building. head coach Larry Fischer found himself in the position of having a team loaded with underclassmen, and very few seniors. With less than ten seniors to build the team around, Fischer found himself searching for leadership among the juniors and sophomores. Hoping to find a measure of im- provement after a disappointing fifth place finish in indoor con- ference, Fischer was rewarded with a respectable fourth place finish in the outdoor conference meet.

According to Coach Fischer. the teams' main problem was inex- perience, lt was a growing year. We had a season full of inex- perience. uncertainty, and question marks, but through hard work. we can see development. Probably the most encouraging thing about the season, was the strong showing of the junior varsity team. They went undefeated in dual meets, and finished a close se- cond to the conference champion Center. Another promising aspect for next year, is the fact that 1 6 school records were broken this year. The team won't be hurt by graduation, as they will have 30 returning Iettermen. By the end of the season, the team and coach had ended the search for leaders: improvement had been achieved, and we could only say. time will tell.

Ms. Merrell won the event, and went on to the district meet. to finish third. bf il-ack l i l Track was a sport of ups and downs for the girls' team this year. The downs were frequent: and the ups were few and far between. Finishing the season without a win was an example of a down. Finishing last in the conference race was also an example of a down. About the only up for the year was the strong showing of Sally Merrell. junior. in the conference meet, and the District meet. Fran Cervantes was also an example of an up. as she and Merrell were the most con- sistent performers on the varsity level. ln their third year of competition. the girls' team failed to mount any kind of a real scoring threat in the meets. The largest problem, once again, was the lack of experience. and the inconsistency of the team. The team was made up mostly of sophomores and juniors, with lit- tle or no experience in actual meets. One of the ups for the year was the performance of the junior varsi- ty team. They did well in several meets, and should provide a good nucleus to build next year's team around. This year can be marked down as a learning experience, as was last year, and the year before. The team will be getting a new start next year with a new coach and an established program to work from.

Dennis Edwards. senior. backhands a volley during the suburban conference doubles cham- pionships. Edwards and Kenny Heer- man went on to win the cham- pionships. It's the small things that matter most. ln tennis there were several small things that happened this year to make it all worthwhile. First there was the 100th win in the history of tennis at Blue Springs. Then there was the improvement over last year's record. And finally there was the suburban conference doubles championship won by Kenny Heerman. and Dennis Edwards. ' The 100th win came against Liberty, when the Cats beat the Bluejays 3-2 in the third game of the season. It had been a long time coming, as the Cats won only three games last year. The improvement over last year was the most noticeable thing about this year. Finishing with a 7- 6 record. and 7th in the conference, was a definite improvement. When Kenny Heerman and Dennis Edwards won the suburban doubles championships. they brought back a tradition that had been broken in past years. The team started off slowly, but came on during the middle of the season by winning seven and drop- ping only four. For the most part the team was led by seniors, but the un- derclassmen got into the picture by finishing with an identical record, and holding their own in the junior varsity conference. The hard part is over, now comes the easy part: winning the second hundred. Boys' Tennis-1 27 Nm-N X Q S.

The team which finished 4-10 for the season. and 4-8 for the conference, couldn't seem to put together the long winning streaks that are necessary for a successful team. After losing the home opener 10-1, and then losing to Grand- view 2-O. and Liberty 4-6, the Cats put on their own little scoring spree. beating Fort Osage 11-4, and Excelsior Springs 10-9. The team then lapsed into an ex- tended skid by losing the next three games before beating Belton 'l 5-4. STRETCHING OUT. John Banks. sophomore, takes a little infield warm- up before a conference game with Ex- celsior Springs. The Cats won the close game 10-9. After starting slowly, and ending even slower. it's hard to see where the varsity Cats took a detour wide enough to avoid falling into the conference cellar. By starting the season off with three losses, the Cats dug their own graves. When they finished the season with three more losses. they nailed the coffin shut. J The only thing that saved the team from dwelling in the cellar along with Fort Osage was a mid season surge when the Cats caught Excelsior Springs and Fort Osage by surprise. ' The team was led by Mark Hat- field. John Lawson, and John Banks. Hatfield and Banks led the team in slugging, while Lawson led in stolen bases. Next year's team should have a good base provided by four sophomore letermen. The con- ference race should be close if coach Marvin Thereoff's charges can shake the habit of starting out slowly. and ending the season with a skid.

Those same bronzed beauties began to reappear again in spring as time and weather were able to get together. Swimming facilites were abun- dant with two local pools and two private lakes nearby and the new swimming facility that opened Memorial Day weekend at Lake Jacomo. Residents at Lake Tapawingo had it easiest as many only had to walk out their doors to obtain access to a body of water. Swimming, boating and skiing ranked at the top of non-organized recreational sports. The only real problem to be dealt with was weather. Missouri climate allows for only about five months of swimming and boating for the heartiest of enthusiasts. The annual Lake Tapawingo Ski Show allowed a number of Blue Springs students to demonstrate their finesse at the art of skiing. Students made use of lakes and pools in full force in the summer months and often times during the school year-particularly during un- official skip days. 1 34 Swimming BATHING BEAUTIES.

In the fall of 1975 the district opened its second junior high school and made additions to physical plants elsewhere in the district. Again in January, patrons overwhelmingly approved a 2.2 million dollar bond issue. Included in that bond vote were plans for a new fine arts facility on the campus. District leaders were constantly concerned with the district motto of Striving for Excellence . The senior high alone showed phenomenal growth as enrollment topped out at 1,058.

Relaxation is the key to success for David Smith as he relaxes prior to a class experiment. Senior status is all that remains for the class of 1977. It's difficult to anticipate the un- known. but dreams. however un- realistic, continue to be dreamed. The reality of the senior year will arrive all too soon and with it the typical disappointments of the senior year, just not measuring up. After listening and delivering criticism to the current crop of seniors for their apathetic. leaderless demonstration of class organization, juniors made attempts to keep their own struc- ture viable and ready to meet any and all challenges afforded by that final year of secondary education. The juniors have a clean slate and the fresh pages of the history book are open. The juniors need only to fill these blank spaces in with achievements resulting from goals.

George Washington first told Martha, l believe l have termites in my wooden teeth. This Bicenten- nial minute has been brought to you by the people at Fiaid. we chew more. Trifling as they were, Bicenten- nial minutes are more useful than they appeared. They offered a chance at a scholarship. That's why senior Ellen McKee entered. ln constructing the 47 second minute Ellen did learn a lot. Her final choice of June 7, 1776 was impor- tant to the revolution. She stated On that date, Richard Henry Lee proposed independence. He dared. Althouh Ellen didn't win. she still believes the celebration of the country's birth is desireable. But. she explained. The Bicentennial is over-done, over-commercialized and run into the ground. It shouldn't have ever started until July. Does the American teenager have a part in the revolution? Ac- cording to Ellen, not really because it involves patriotism. High school seniors don't know how to be patriotic. Mainly because they haven't performed the rights the system allows to us as adults. concluded Ellen. PASSING TIME. Steve Fogle and Dave Butler compare weekend notes on Monday morning.

Mark joined the popular movement last fell when he joined a class for S55. Among the first lessons, the quiet senior learned as he stated, The state of perfect correlation between the physical body and the mind. Mark learned to meditate. Mark suffers from stereotypes assumed by the public that all rneditators involve themselves in the use of drugs and the adoption of a communal living lifestyle. But he keeps on meditating. All over the country. TM has gathered a lot of moss. Monthly. 15.000 persons are turning into themselves. ln fact the act can be done anyplace-in a hotel lobby. on a crowded bus, or in a waiting room. Mark has meditated in the commons. Remember seeing Mark snooze in the commons . . . or maybe he wasn't. Maybe he was just using the benefits of the research used for a Psychology paper.
