In those 10 years, new buildings, teach- ers and classes were added. In the beginning, both senior and ju- nior high classes were conducted at the Junior High building with each year becoming more crowded. Because of this the high school moved into the Kathryn Wells Liberal Arts building. Eventually other build- ings would be added to create a cam- pus atmosphere. At first, Liberal Arts was set up as an open concept. Prob- lems arose and as the new buildings were built so were walls in the LA build- ing. Since the campuses first dedication, eight buildings have been built. The newest addition to this campus, a math and physical education building was completed this year. It was named after a former math teacher at BSHS, H. L. Stillions. As the campus changed so did atti- tudes toward studies of students. Classes have become of more impor- tance than extra curricular acitivities. Miss Betsy Hall, history teacher, said, students are finally realizing that col- lege is rough and that they need a stronger background in the traditional high school classes. Credit requirements and class count have also changed. In 1974, the 185 graduating seniors needed 17 credits to graduate. The class of 1982, con- taining 520 students needed 22 credits to graduate. PRACTICALLY SPEAKING. The Hazel B. Mont- gomery Practical Arts building has a variety of classes conducted in it. DRIBBLE, PASS OR PITCH. The Wildcat Den is home for many an athletic Wildcat. HISTORY COMES ALIVE. One of the more imaginative projects for history was this mural on Mr. Tom McSparren's classrrom wall. thi is lil gchllill 5+ w'.e.!

When the alarm rings at 6 a.m., many students must find a way to drag themselves from bed and prepare for school. OPEN HOOD, INSERT HEAD. A Blue Springs student finds himself stuck in the parking lot when his car won't start. EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS? Steve Kempker, senior, is starting one of those days by waiting for a a tardy pass to first hour from Mrs. Marcia Roberts. 5 ' N X v X '- 5. . ' 'T s s..Q.s.gf.'lx Q.. 1' 0 5 fi i 1 I 5 i ..

We must live and work together to get the job done. At six a.m. when the alarm sounds we must get up and face another day. There are days when we must huddle together on the corner to stay warm as we wait for our bus. There are days when we get soaking wet walking from building to building between classes. And there are days when our cars won't start and we're late to first hour for the fifth time that week. But we are living it all together. We are stuck here, doing things that are unpleasant but necessary. At Blue Springs High there are many things that we would rather not do, but we are stuck doing them. For example four hours of writer's cramp and starvation while taking the ACT test. We are stuck with the distinct smell of disecting of the fetal pig in Biology l. The trials and tribulations of getting the term paper finished early for those extra bonus points to pull the grade up to an l. Memorizing last's weeks geometry theorems for a big test. And then forgetting a No. .2 pencil to take the test. We are stuck getting every second in the commons that becomes available to talk to some friends and get a few laughs. Standing in the lunchline, finding out there's only 10 minutes to cram our food down our throats. lt's Friday and it seems that 7th hour has lasted as long as the whole week. And that dreaded Friday of hard basketball practice, oh, those aching muscles and pulled ligiments. And that nasty smell of body odor in the gym. But those fun things that help us make it through the day, like assemblies, films, and the 5 minutes between classes somehow bring out a smile in all of us. The week of Homecoming brings us together with the disasterous float building. Working together to get the job done by Thursday night, and then finding out that the float is disqualified. That play practice every day after school till 5 gets us working together to put on a perfect performance. The Prom, where the guys are stuck wearing a tux, and the girls in frills and panty hose. Over the years we're stuck here together as we go through different phases of life. The sophomore year waiting and waiting to get that drivers license. Being the lower classmen at the high school isn't something we would want to do twice. Getting lost the first week of school and being afraid to ask a junior or a senior for help isn't fun either. The junior year is a year of relief of not being called a little soph any more. lt means getting that new car and cruising down 7 highway just like everybody else. Then waiting and waiting for the class rings to get back, and finding out that your name is James instead of Jeff according to your class ring. The worst part about being a junior is watching the seniors graduate. The senior year, stuck here forever as it seems. But the hard part is deciding what to do after graduation. College sounds like fun but can we make the grades? For some the Army will appeal to them. And others will simply bum around. But, after all of this, somehow we know we will survive Blue Springs high together. Theme 5 6 - Theme working ing the Together means to have unity. Collectively bringing all of the indi- vidual people, groups and clicks, into one ,singular body such as the student body of Blue Springs High School. We are drawn together as one through common interests such as clubs, athletics, band, drama and mu- sic. These are all examples of activities that combine people with similar inter- ests. Once together, as a group, .stu- dents can accomplish more than was possible when they were individuals. lf one man no matter his size or strength, sets out to build a house there would be no way he could finish by the time a group of men built the same house. The same idea applies in sports teams. There could be one outstanding player but it takes other teammates to set that person up for the game win- ning point. Without people working together there would be no No. 1 teams or prize winning clubs. Because together we are the BSHS Wildcats. MAKE WHAT FROM THIS?

Homecoming! Homecoming is one of the major events of the school year. Much pre- paration goes into each and every as- pect relating to Homecoming. Almost everyone gets involved in one way or another by working on their class floats, attending the game, the dance and participating in Spirit Week. Homecoming is togetherness. Stu- dents work together to put on a suc- cessful dance. Alumni from past years return to their Alma Mater. ln recent years, homecoming has been presented in a variety of ways. For example, in 1976 there was no spirit week planned. The students took the spirit activities into their own hands. In 1973, they held the Burning of the Effigy or sacrificing the other schools mascot, to start off their homecoming events. ln 1977, Home- HANG THAT HAWKLETTE HIGH.

They changed the oversight of past years and geared it back towards the Alumni. It was held in honor of past graduates as is practiced now. lnis year's theme for Homecoming was the Wild, Wild, West. Each class had to come up with a slogan for their float which coincided with the overall theme. Although this wasn't an easy task it proved to be simpler than keep- ing the float building. location hidden from the other classes. The sophomores chose as their slo- gan Good Guys Always Win, and dressed their Wildcat in white cowboy boots and a cowboy hat. Hang 'Em High , was the slogan of the juniors' float as they depicted a Wildcat hang- ing a Rockhurst Hawklette. These floats brought many different students together and built their pride in their class as they helped to build their floats. Homecoming fff ffffffffff fffffffffffffffffff Dress-up days Spirit becomes visibl with costumes, colors Homecoming pushes its way into ev- ery part of student's lives during Spirit week. But, no where is its presence more noticeable than on the dress-up days. Since this year's theme was The Wild, Wild, West Monday began with students and teachers dressed as cow- boys and Indians. Moccasins traversed the campus and boots stomped through halls. The students had experienced a western day, but Tuesday proved to be the wildest day of all with Wild New Wave Day.

Tradition was followed on Wednes- day with Dress-up Day. Girls wore dresses, boys wore suits, and the at- mosphere of the school calmed down for a while. Thursday brought xstudents back to the casual side with overalls, patched pants and straw hats for Hillbilly Day. Then finally the day of the game had arrived and on Friday students speck- led the halls with purple, gold and white. Although the week was marked by rain these days helped to lift the spirits of the students for the weekend's events. IIIOIIIS The Homecoming assembly on Friday is one way in which all stu dents can participate in Home year s assembly featured the tra ditional presentation of the queen candidates and prin cesses Sally Ries junior helped to create the sentiments of the moment when she sang The Rose to the candidates.

Twelve lucky girls from each of the classes were chosen as this year's candidates. Elections were handled differently this year. Each class nominated their choice for the queen and her court. Then, a tally was taken and the top ten candidates were announced. A re- election was held and the two top can- didates from the junior and sophomore classes were chosen. Suzy Ries and Anne Molle were cho- sen as the junior candidates along with Jennifer Martin and Janet Hubbard re- presenting the sophomores. The queen nominees were: Lori Comstock, Teri Davis, Andrea Max- well, T.J. Petznick, Cathy Porter, Mindy Pressly, Jamie Rew and Laura Spangler. Just being nominated is quite an honor to these girls. It makes you feel good. Its an honor to be nominated, Cathy Porter said. This really means a lot because it is my friends, my class, that picked me out of so many other girls. I was SITTING PRETTY.

Lori Comstock was pronounced Homecoming Queen of the 1981-82 school year. The annual Homecoming dance was held on SQIUFGGY, October 17. This year's theme was based on the John Denver song, Somedays Are Dia- monds. Traditional punch and cook- ies were served. The entertainment was provided by Lee Otis and his band.

H4 Floating fun Preparations for floats start long be- fore Homecoming week with selections of float themes. After this designs for the floats must be made and a place to build the float must be found. And of course to build a float money must be collected to provide materials such as crepe paper, chicken wire and wood. Building began immediately after the powderpuff game on Sunday and con- tinued every afternoon and evening un- til Thursday. This activity offered a chance for students to work together and get to know each other better. Although the week of Homecoming was a wet one, students worked non- stop to perfect their floats in the hope that all their work would not be ruined by the rain. The rain subsided for awhile and though the sun didn't shine the floats did brighten the day. JUNIOR POWDERPUFF TEAM.

Why are they in such a rush? Be- cause assemblies are a time for stu- dents and faculty to take a break from their busy day and enjoy themselves. Several times each year classes are shortened just for that purpose. The assemblies were for pep rallies, United Way Campaign, choir and band, gym- nastics, etc. The first assembly of the year was a pep rally. Foreign exchange students were introduced and relay races be- tween classes were conduoted. Class competition yells were done away with at pep assemblies in hopes to form a more unified school. Administrators felt these yells were dividing the school too much. The annual United Way, faculty vs. students, volleyball game was also one of the first assemblies of the year. One dollar provided the student a pass out of class for the game and helped in reaching the school's goal in dona- tions.

The meeting for juniors consisted of a Josten's representative explaining op- tions for class rings. For the seniors there was an assembly to order senior souvenirs. Later in the year various staffs, such as secretaries, principals and janitors wished the students a musical Merry Christmas. The New Year's baby, alias Mr. Tom Round, science teacher, even put in an appearance. ' Celebrations were held prior to the Truman basketball game during a pep assembly as Dr. Robert Blaine asked the students to stand and dance to the song as the stage band played. Cheerleaders performed various skits one which required that they dress as various members of the fruit of the loom bunch. The girls' basketball play- ers added their own touch as the jockettes. All of these ideas went to make the break between second and third hour memorable. Assemblies - 19 i Political Science Practical experience in government systems Political science . . .

Emphasis in each unit will be placed on I 12 the constitutional ele- ments of each branch, 121 a compari- son of the national and state institu- tions, K31 a comparison of the United States and other world systems, and M2 the law and its speciHc relationship to the student's daily life. Throughout the year, political sci- ence students got to put to practice the skills and knowledge they had learned in the class. This was done by means of mock United Nations Security Council, Sen- ate, and United Nations General As- sembly sponsored annually by Park College, Parkville, Mo. ln these situations, students role played as various national and interna- tional leaders, adopting the ideals and philosophies of the party or nation they represented. The first model meeting was Nov. 5. Blue Springs sent five-people delega- tions representing Tunisia and Ugan- da. Fifteen area schools attended the Security council simulation in which Brian Parish received recognition for the best presentation of country posi- tion. Senators from BSHS attended party caucasses, committee meetings and fi- nally the general senate meeting during Park College's tenth annual Mock Sen- ate. On Feb. ii, students spent the day discussing, amending and voting on bills as they represented current senators. Miss Betsy Hall, poll sci teacher, said that a common joke told by those at- tending the United Nations General 20 Model UN Assembly is that Blue Springs brings half of the assembly. On April 27, Blue Springs once again loaded the buses and headed to Park College for the 25th annual mock UN. Armed with poll sci notes, background on their coun- try, and facts concerning the interna- tional issues facing them, BSHS dele- gates prepared for a smorgasboard of psychic warfare and all-out mental combat against other delegations from area schools and even from their own schoolmates. lt gives you a practical understand- ing of how the United Nations and Sen- ate work, said senior Bob Holliger, a delegate at all three simulations. Although some juniors were allowed to attend the UN General Assembly, the others were restricted to senior poli sci students. However, Marguerite Farabee's ju- nior classes also had an opportunity to attend the Shawnee Mission Mock United Nations on April 22 and 23. JAM SESSION.

X-Qsphy ve The Music Man' Brings out the crowds, combines man talents The Music Man was one of those musicals that promised to draw more crowds than the ones in the past, and it did. As usual the matinee was a sell out and the Friday and Saturday night per- formances were given to a near capac- ity crowd. These crowds were the largest ever attending a play at Blue Springs High School said Ms. Gay Warnock theater director. The main character of the musical was Harold Hill, a traveling salesman charlaton, who cannot read music or play an instrument although he sells them particularly to marching bands. Professor Hill, traveled to River City, Iowa and tried to convince the townspeople that they needed a big band while charming all the ladies in the town, especially the piano instruc- tor Marian Paroo. Patt Naudet senior, played the role of Professor Hill while the town librar- ian, Marian Paroo was played by Sally Flies, a junior. One female quartet, con- sisting of Tina Allen, Michelle Mead- ows, Suzee Sloan, and Cindy Prince were the Pick-a-Little Talk-a-Little La- dies of the Musical. Also a male quar- tet. The School Board, consisted of Ronnie Ring, Ken Hammond, David Joslyn, and Mike Dryer. These two quartets provided much of the back- ground music for the musical.

They worked together for many hours and late nights for two sol- id months. Dawn Williams, senior, said, Mr Tuggle and Ms. Warnock de- serve a tremendous thanks for going out of their way to help us. This musical not only involved stu- dents from the high school but also elementary children. One stand-out was Mark Landas who played Win- throp. lt took a lot of bravery to get up on a stage and sing by himself. The children worked very well with us, said Dawn Williams. While most of the audience was standing on its feet clapping and laughing, back stage a lot of crying was done. I started crying because I knew l'd never do it again, said Suzee Sloan, senior. Most of the crew mem- bers felt the same way. Sally Ries, ju- nior said, l hope next year's musical will be just as good and twice as much fun!

This trip cost over S90,000, which meant that students had to raise about S400 each through various fundraising projects. These started last year with Easter bunnies and continued through the year. Even after the fundraising had been done, some students had to add their own cash to make up for the funds they had not been able to meet through the various projects. The students worked through the regular football season appear- ances for the school and practiced up until the time they were to leave for California. The trip began as band members, chaperones and guests boarded their Air Capital airplane at Kansas City international Airport. Upon arrival the travelers went to the beach, ate at the Farmer's Mar- ket and participated at the Winston Tire Classic Basketball game. The beaches were colder than most expected and instead of wear- ing bikinis, shorts and catching a few rays, they had to be content to walk along the ocean wearing sweaters, jackets and leg-warmers. Farmer's market was a large, expen- LOOKING PROUD. The golden Regiment performs at Disneyland. Hi MOM! Television cameras pick up the Golden Regiment as they march past the grandstand.

Students were able to see sound stages and various sets. Another day was spent shopping at the Pasadena shopping mall. New Year's Eve dinner was celebrated on The Queen Mary where gifts and awards were presented to various members. New Year's Day came early as ev- eryone had to wake up at 3 a.m. They were on the buses by 6 a.m. in order to wait for the parade to start. The pa- rade route was nine and one-half miles long. You could tell that everyone was getting really tired at the end because the drum cadence started out really snappy and ended sounding more like a grave march, said Terri Barnes. After this the travelers prepared themselves for the trip back to Blue Springs as they stuffed away souve- nirs, post cards and other memorabilia purchased from the trip. As for next year, no plans are being made yet. But we didn't know about the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade until the beginning of that year, said Mr. Watts.

While enrolled in Family Relations classes, students ex- perienced those vows for the eighth consecutive year at Blue Springs High School. Mrs. Steuart said the mock wed- dings that were held in her classes served several purposes. They gave the students a chance to see what to look for in a mate and the things to be discussed while dating and during an engagement. lt also gave them a better understanding of the way weddings work. The ceremonies were held in the family relations room of the practical arts building. ln order to make the wed- dings seem realistic, students dressed appropriately with brides and grooms dressed in wedding gowns and formal wear. Music was played and a recep- tion was held after each wedding. Besides the bride and groom, all of the students in each class had a cer- tain responsibility. Each bride had a maid of honor and three bridesmaids, and each groom had a best man and three groomsmen. There were other odd jobs such as the guest book, par- ents of the bride and groom, cake ba- kers, etc., that aided in making ever- ything go smoothly by taking care of the jobs involved. 'Bride' Cindy Wix, senior, said, Its really true to life! l was so nervous that my hands and bouquet were shaking as if l really was getting married.

Air Supply's popular song was cho- sen as the theme and carried out with rainbows, clouds and air balloons by pep club members who sponsored the annual dance. lt was kind of a secret dream come true, Kim Daniels said of her corona- tion at the dance. lt was just really neat that I'd been nominated . . . to tell the truth, l didn't think l'd win. Kim's candidate escort, Scott Knoche was also crowned - as king. lt was really an honor that all my peers picked me, Scott said. lt was an honor just to be picked. The junior prince and princess were Danny Williams and Ann Molle. Kevin O'Neill and Tammy Quick were sopho- more royalty. Other candidates were seniors Teri Davis, Anne Means, Dana Meeker. Todd Hutt, Ray Irvin, and Steve Priddy. Tonya Jackson and Judi Sutton were rainbows nominated for junior princess, with Eric Dooley and Robert McClure up for prince. Sophomore court nominees were April Denrow, Joelle Purvis, Jeff Arnold and Dick Warnock. Several different ideas were tried for this dance, and pep club sponsor Miss Tracy Creech said they received many compliments on them. Picture taking when a number was called was one thingg coat check was another. Mannequins Mobile provided the music. The participation in the danc- ing was much greater than at other dances, Scott said. lt ranks as one of my most enjoy- able evenings!

The story began as Walter fPatt Naudetl and his wife Marion Hollander Mackie Milleri innocently snap the wrong photograph while vacationing in a communist country. The Hollanders then flee to the American embassy for protection. When they arrive, the Hol- Ianders learn that the embassy is under the temporary control of Ambassador Magee's iRonnie Ringj bumbling son Axel Magee iJohn Connolei. The story that follows contains comedy, intrigue and romance. There is something for everyone in this movie, said Ms. War- 32 Spring Play ll. ' ' nock. Other leading characters were Dick Warnock as Father Brobney, Ronnie Fling as Ambassador Magee, and Todd Pulis as Kilroy. l only had three words in the whole play but because it was the first pro- duction l've ever been involved in I was .really excited when it went off so well, said Heidi Jackson, senior. Probably the biggest part of the play that helped me was the friendships I made and strengthened. The school's technical production class designed and built the scenery. Renee Wade, Polly Hicks and Sylvia Hicks were in charge of costumes. Andi Fischer and Shelly DelaRosa did the makeup. Both Dan Bresnahan and Joe Patterson were in charge of light- ing. Ken Hammond and Ron Jenkins worked with the sound. l BEG OF YOU. Patt Naudet, senior begs John Connole, junior, to let him go home in the spring play, Don't Drink the Water. THIS IS A STICK UP.

Spring Play - 343 fZAW f f Wmter Sports Week Beach bums, boppers, nerds celebrate sports The theme of the week was Sweet Dreams, but the students seen throughout the halls seemed more biz- zare than sweet. Pep Club sponsored February 22-26 as a week of theme days. This gave Blue Springs High School a chance to show school spirit and pride in its winter athletes. Monday was sweat day where the whole student body got to dress like the jocks ready for a workout. Sweat suits and headbands turned the campus into a gym for the day. -Tuesday took kids back to the pre- historic day of their parents and the fifties. Bobbie socks, bubble gum and teeny boppers brought back reminders of the fifties era. After school, Student Senate sponsored a sock hop in the new girls' gym. There, nerds and cool 34 Winter Sports Week . - 5 u kids,had an opportunity to twist, swim, stroll or bop to some old favorites. The brisk temperatures on Wednes- day didn't stop most students from bringing a bit of Hawaii to BSHS. Loud flowered shirts, grass skirts, lelghs and thongs set the mood for the beaches. Surf boards and sun tan lotion were also evident, although not in use. Dress-up day was a drastic, but wel- come change from the rest of the week. Thursdays, students wore dress- es, suits and ties for maybe the only day of the year for some. For once, jeans were in the minority. Purple and gold decorated the halls and students for spirit day on Friday. That was when there was no doubt about Blue Springs Wildcats or purple pride because it reigned high. NERD FOR A DAY.

' La' A b,- Baccalaureate Rain weather keeps them inside again Having Baccalaureate indoors has almost become as much a tradition as Baccalaureate itself, when once again the ceremony was performed inside the gymnasium due to rainy weather. Lead by grand marshals, Matt Turn- er and Sally Ries, the class of 1982 made its way into the gym for the Bao- calaureate services. Upon arrival the ceremony began with the invocation given by the Rev. Ted Francis, Calvary Baptist Church. Following this, special music was performed by the combined choirs un- der the direction of Mr. Dennis Tuggle. They sang Hear My Prayer , by Alex- ander Kopylov to the full house of graduates, families and friends. This was followed by the traditional SAY CHEESE. Seniors were the object of many snapshots during the Baccalaureate and Com- mencement exercises. SING SING SING. The combined choirs provided special music for Baccalaureate. AS SCHOOL LIFE ENDS Reverend Booz, RLDS minister, spoke to seniors and their par- ents at Baccalaureate. WE MADE IT. Seniors Marc Thompson, Shelley Reed and Doug McMullen talk as the service concludes. Baccalaureate sermon. This year Rev. Don Booz, Reorganized Church of Je- sus Christ of Latter Day Saints gave the sermon. He talked of what was expected of the close to 500 students who would soon be graduating and entering a new world. He told them goals that they needed to set and meet. Sally Ries was then introduced and she sang a special song to the gradu- ation class. Then the combined choirs again sang for those assembled. This time they sang Alleluia, by William Boyce. After this Rev. Don Sears, Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church, gave the benediction and the service was closed. Baccalaureate 39 1 -51. 01 Y , xfxfpff , my W2 ' Graduation Ending one life beginning another As May 28, 1982, approached there could be a sense of excitement felt filling the air. And once the day was there, the feeling grew stronger. The class of 1982 graduated on this day among friends and relatives in the heat that engulfed RLDS auditorium. A The nearly 500 strong class was led by grand marshals, Matt Turner and Sally Ries and seated as the Invocation given by Rev. Donald Sears began the commencement ceremonies. After a short introduction of Administration and Board of Education members, the program was turned over to the stu- dent speakers. The first to speak was class Presi- dent, Dirk Hubbard. Dirk spoke to his fellow classmates of the memories he had of his high school years. He said We were the only class that never won a float competition! As Dirk remi- nisced, so did the class of '82, of dances, the North Central Evaluation and 'Rent-a tree', and their Muddy Buddy, Gene Watson. Patt Naudet's speech followed Dirk's and began with Patt removing his cap and proclaiming his decapita- tion. Patt tried to hit a spark of motiva- 40 Graduation Q N ty x 4 X Q tion in the crowd as he spoke of the soon to be leaders of the world. Patt said he had been seeing a lot of sluffing off going on and that it had to be stopped. You just can't be average anymore and make things happen for yourself. Patt then proceded to ask everyone to be completely quiet. Do you feel the power? asked Patt of the audience, He concluded that it was that power that needed to be initiated toward success in order to gain it. Backed by popular demand, class principal Ted Lewman spoke of his first graduating class. Beginning with a joke, about a man who didrt't want to get up each morning to go to school because people talked badly of him. But this man's wife said, You have to, you are the principal! Dr. Lewman continued by talking of the closeness the class had acquired and how they used it to their advantage. Dr. Bob Blaine ended the speeches with one of his own and then the pre- sentation of diplomas began. Immediately following, the class Sang the Blue Springs Alma Mater. The Benediction by Rev. Ted Francis end- ed the commencement ceremonies. HELPING HAND. Dr. Dennis Littrell assists at graduation ceremonies. FEATURED ENTERTAINMENT.

Na- tional Honor Society gave recognition to the students with those qualifications. The Butler-Wells Chapter of National Honor Society was sponsored by Mrs. Julie Scott. The officers, for the 1981-82 year were Beth Buschmann, president: Scott Knoche, vice-president: Bev Saban, treasurer. The new members were inducted in March to give more time for them to prepare for activities at the end of the year. The senior National Honor Society members elected Sally Ries and Matt Turner to be the grand marshalls at the com- mencement exercises. Eight ushers were also elected, they were: Angie Eidson, Pat Griffith, Christi Konkle, Kathy Konkle, Susan Long, David Polich, Christi Taylor, and Teresa Wagner. The grand marshalls were to lead the seniors in the Baccalau- reate and graduation ceremonies. The ushers were to greet all of the guests at the door. Clubs expand The math and science club again provided students with a means to expand the knowledge and interest they had in these two areas. Both of these clubs were headed by Don Raines, senior, as president. The science club judged the science fair for the elementary schools. Don said he was surprised at the amount of computer related projects these students had entered. He also judged the Ft. Osage Science fair along with the club sponsor Mr. Leon Bowlin. The club took a field trip to the energy expo in downtown Kansas City., The idea of developing different types of energy for the future was discussed on this field trip aswell as the meetings the members of the club attended. As a project for the club, the members built a solar oven. By placing it in the direct sunlight and placing various reflectors in the oven at certain angles, the oven could be heated to as much as 300 degrees. The Math Club sponsored the national math exam given dur- ing school to those math students interested in taking it. They had a picnic and they also attended the math relays at Raytown South where they placed in the metrics competition. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY.

It was a three day concert tour in Springfield at the Glendale High School, southwest Missouri State University and First and Calva- ry Presbyterian church. Besides the tour the choir also sang at the four major school concerts, the big six choral clinic, the central methodist college music festival, district music festival, Baccalaureate, Com- mencement and they Christmas caroled at various places. The purpose of the choir was to provide talented singers an opportunity to achieve a high level of musicianship through a varied and challenging musical repertoire. lt is a select choir in which people are expected to work a little harder, said Joni Lane. Diana Davis also thought the choir was special. They care, she said. They give it all they have to make the choir sound good The choir taught its members various things. Because choir is a fulfilling experience, it teaches cooperation amongst a larger group of people, said Joni Lane. lt isn't something you do at school and then forget, said Portia Troxel, senior The students in the choir shared a feeling toward music that many may not understand. lt has a way of speaking to every one in some shape or form. lt has helped man survive and will keep us going forever, said Diann Boman, senior. 'lt expresses beauty, pain, life. A universally understood medium which never loses its magic, said Richard Walker, junior There will be many things the members of this year's choir will remember about it. Many will remember the trip they took and the work they have done. Practice, practice, practice. Over and over. Mr. Tuggle is a superb teacher. He is patient and l would say he is what I remember the most - working us for our own achievement, said Suzee Sloan senior A Cappella Choir Sing a song The Concert Choir kept busy this year as they performed at four major school concerts, Baccalaureate and Commence- ment. The purpose of the group was to provide a group of audi- tioned singers an opportunity to experience a high level of musicianship. The students sang a variety of types of songs and learned among other things sight reading, better tone quality, different types of music and concentration. l've learned mix- ture of voices, and how great they sound. Before I came here I didn't even know what an alto or tenor sounded like. I've learned something about the scale of notes, said Cindy Prince. Many of those involved in the choir enjoyed the change from the other classes. I really enjoyed it sometimes I would come in, in a bad mood and I would leave in a good mood, said Steph- anie Titus. It's fantastic! It's expression and a whole world. Blue Springs choir has the most appreciation of music I've ever known, said Cindy Prince. Singing is feeling. It makes me happy. It is very deep. It's entertainment. I just like to sing. I wish I could learn more, said Cindy. Women's Choir also performed at the four major school con- certs. The purpose of this group was to provide a musical experience for students interested in improving their musician- ship. This choir was broken down into two classes that met each day. --- Women?

We are students who care enough to work constantly to be number oneg that's why we are here, he said. This enthusiasm and the help of Mr. Dennis Tuggle led the choir to various contests, school concerts and Christmas carol- ing on the plaza. ln addition to their trip to the plaza the choir also performed at four major school concerts, civic and profes- sional meetings, the Central Methodist College music festival, district music festival, a two day! six performance concert tour at Odessa High School, Hickman High School, Wentzville High School, Centralia High School, Columbia College and the Uni- versity of Missouri-Columbia. As Jenni Edmundson, junior, said Where didn't we perform? The purpose of Chamber Choir was to provide talented sing- ers an opportunity to rehearse and perform challenging, diversi- fied choral literature said Mr. Tuggle. The choir sang a variety of songs but the favorites of those involved included: Georgia On My Mind, Green Broom, and Weep o Mine Eyes . The benefits of Chamber Choir are numerousl The members learned discipline most of all. People only achieve as hard as they try. if a group of people all concentrate on one thing at the same time they can achieve it, said Madonna Enyeart, senior. Many of the singers are involved in other choirs in the school, but they feel this choir is different than the others. The type of literature we sing is different, we sing music for small groups. This choir also is so small that every member is important, Melanie Jones, junior, said. Not only different from other choirs, it's different from other classes. lt's not everyday high school kids get to experience singing at almost a college level. l'm sure there are other classes that teachers will insist that you can't live without it. But, let's get serious . . . how many chances do kids get to sing ultimately precise music? said Senior D'Ann Boman. But besides the uniqueness of the class these students also enjoy a special feeling for music. Musis is GREAT. When l was very little I realized I had a big mouth. Music has a way of expressing feeling, sais Ronnie. Music is something l've al- ways felt. lt's always been more than songs on the radio. lt's a feeling, a way of expressing myself- I have more than just an interest in it, said Julie Hines, senior. Because without it the world would be a bleak and desolate wasteland, said Stacey Payne, junior. But for these people Chamber Choir was more than the diver- sity and the love for music. It was many memorable moments. Such as: our tours, especially after singing five performances, fthe last one being the bestj getting on the bus and for two hours on the ride home and laughing at making fun of, feeling good about ourselves, feeling like a family, said Joni Lane, sophomore. f -- Hluzmber Klwir 54 Chamber Choir A - ' N CAROLS RING OUT.

This year was the best ever. We had more fun than years before said Ronnie Ring senior. The Pop Choir was supposed to be such an organization. It was a second semester choir that was done on an extra-curricular basis for those vocalists that audi- tioned and were chosen. The music itself was more free. These songs were usually in the pop or jazz idiom this year s songs were I Love the Rainy Night On the Road Again Elvira Nine to Five ' 'Let the Sunshine in Greatest American Hero and Endless Love. Most of those in the choir were already in some other choir in the school they perfprmed in this one because they want- ed the experience they liked being involved or as Ronnie said lt s a time that you can stay after school for an hour once a week learn some music and be with friends Pop choir was meant to entertain to give such students knowledge and practice in music and it was also meant to give entertainment to those for whom the choir performed This year the choir performed at the North Central banquet spring vocal concert Pop Choir!

All members were required to audition and they were then placed in either the concert or symphonic band according to their performance in auditions. They did have a chance to ad- vance through challenges later on if they wished. Musical' players The orchestra was another part of the instrumental music program at Blue Springs High School. lt was a year long class. Those enrolled in it received one hour of fine arts credit. The students from the junior high were brought to the high school to participate in this class that met seventh hour. But this year should have been the last year that the two schools needed to combine their students to make a full orchestra. The orchestra performed off campus, at contests and acted as the pit group for the musical, the Music Man. ,They re- ceived a I at the competition in Fayette and a ll at the competi- tion in Warrensburg. 58 Band!

Band Band entertains ' The culmination of the Golden Regiment's season was the Rose Bowl Parade and trip, but a lot of performances, fund- raising projects and practices led up to this moment in the spotlight. For many these other events were special ones in their lives as well. For Erin Curry, junior drum major, that first home game when she heard them announce her name over the loud- speaker was a special time. She had tried out for the position the year before, gone to a summer camp with other members of the band in Kentucky and attended the summer camp for the Blue Springs players. This was the final realization of what she had accomplished. Although she lead the band during the Rose Bowl Parade, Erin said she enjoyed performing before the home crowd during the football games because it was challenging. Senior drum major Julie Stell said that the band experience will be the thing that she remembers the most about her senior high school years. There are few groups that combine around 200 people in a group and come out with such a unified product. But, the band worked together constantly to perform this year in such places as the halftime show, the Fall Fun Fest parade in Blue Springs, the Royals playoff game in the fall, the Music Bowl in Warrensburg, Mo. and-the band contest in Carolton Mo., where they won the sweepstakes trophy. Besides these perfor- mances, the band members acted as servers for the North Central Evaluation Sunday night dinner. Their money making projects were seemingly endless including such things as the sausage and cheese sale, chocolate Easter bunny sale, newspa- per and aluminum can drive and an auction - they auctioned everything and they even had contributions of various items from Royals players. The student body and faculty became used to all the sales and all the preparation for the Rose Bowl and other projects, but what these people may not have considered was how different this band was from many of the other bands in the state. No other high school band from Missouri marched in the Rose Bowl Parade and thus the band truly was the ambassador of Blue Springs High School and Missouri as Mr. Doug Watts, director, had told the band members many times. Mr. Watts was a driving force behind the band. He likes to win, said Julie Stell. But he also liked to entertain and there were times when he picked a particularly hard routine more for the entertainment value rather than how well the band would be able to perform the routine. Mr. Watts challenged the band to perform hard routines. Other bands around the state were more concerned with perfection rather than the ability to please the crowd. Often times to create this excitement the band added dance steps to their routines, as well as providing solos for different players. But the relationship of those who were in the band did not stop there, many friendships were formed around the members ofthe band. They became somewhat like a family. They worked together, they wore the same Rose Bowl shirts, they strived for perfection together. They even had their own song that Julie Stell led them in on their bus trips.

Students were either enrolled in Sypmphonic Band at BSHS or had previous experience in same. All types of jazz and modern music were used and performed. ln addition to the performances mentioned, the ensemble played at many of the band concerts, and played for the teach- ers at the annual Student Senate sponsored teacher's tea in the cafeteria. When Mickey Mouse made his world tour they greeted him at the Union station early one morning. .Auditions were held and Mr. Doug Watts selected the mem- ers ofthe ensemble, Mr. Dennis McClanahan was the instruc- t r for the course which met during third hour each day. 62 Jazz Ensemble Q ' tv K I Y 5 !

Small staff faces task optimistically Putting together a good yearbook for any size staff takes a lot of hard work and dedication. That has been two strikes against Blue Springs High School in previous years. But the Campus Cadence staff of the 1981-82 school year had high hopes of making the best of what they had to work with. The theme was initiated during the summer after some of the staff attended Jostens American Yearbook Workshop at Central Missouri State University put together their brainstorming ideas. Mark Fanara, junior, won the most improved photography award during the seminar. Then it was up to the seven staff members, four photogra- phers, and adviser Miss Ruth Ann Graves to meet deadlines. Story assignments were given every couple of weeks to ensure the availability of copy for layout deadlines. ' We have our work cut out for us considering the staff is so small, but we got a better start this year and things are really looking good, said the Cadence editor, Zena Chambers. Complaints of previous yearbooks were taken into consider- ation during the early planning stages of production. Although some of the protests could not be changed or added due to the costs involved, some were made. Things such as more school spirit were accomplished by using a cartoon Wildcat and purple on the cover. Another addition was the length and quality of copy for the layouts. In order to win any awards in contests and keep the yearbook up-to-date with current trends copy needed to be lengthened and be more indepth. Fund raisers for rising print costs had to be arranged because just the sale of yearbooks didn't cover all expenses. Based on the fact that people like to see themselves and friends in pic- tures, any extra photographs that were taken were displayed on the journalism class windows to be sold to students and faculty.

Campus Cadence 65 Crier presents news The Campus Crier was a world of deadlines, exactos, picas, points, headlines, typewriters, copy and Extra Strength Tylenol. The fifteen staff members and five photographers worked with Miss Ruth Ann Graves and Mrs. Jane Meinershagen to publish the bi-weekly campus newspaper. Issues were investigated, students informed and entertained, controversies raised and calmed by means of the Crier. This was accomplished as staff members were assigned sto- ries to write. interviews followed and then a rough draft of the story was submitted. Page editors had the responsibility to copyedit and correct the reporter's original submissions. Pepperdine Printing Co. then received all copy, set it, and sent back galleys. Layouts were dummied and then the copy was actually ar- ranged using art, photographs and graphics. Pepperdine did the actual printing. Then the whole process was repeated again . . . and again. Some definite styles, format and policies were instigated last year. A standing editorial policy was established. ln spite of the problems we encountered near the first of the year, I think the Campus Crier has been a successful product and a good experience for those involved with it, editor-in-chief Heidi Jackson, said. On staff we are able to learn, feel like we are getting something accomplished and have a blast all at the same time! The Crier provided a variety of articles designed to appeal to different members of the student body. Editorials on smoking lounges and pregnancy: features on students, KY.102, classes and activitiesg news and updates on the Golden Regiment, classes, the new addition and the latest on Wildcat sports victo- ries were all a part of the paper. The Personals column was also a favorite. Even when I consider the headaches and hassles, l'd have to say being on the Crier staff was one of the best experiences during my high school years, Heidi said. Graves was great, the administration was terrific, all the teachers who put up with my constantly interrupting their classes were wonderful and my staff was the best! -- Krzmpus Erier f ,. -Ng 1 -ji 57 .5 .

Campus Crier iv,.Au s-.4-.9-v-1 i fter-school mag This year was the last year that the literary magazine The Mind's Eye was completely an extracurricular activity. Next year, it will be part of the Creative Writing ll class. But, for this year, several students met after school with the advisers Mrs. Marilynn Pittsenbarger and Mrs. Jane Meinersha- gen to rate submissions and then to lay out the pages. Any student who wanted to could submit, art, poems, short stories, creative writings or photos. After these were received, the members of the group read or viewed the work and assigned a rating to them. The work with the highest ratings appeared in the magazine. Julia A. Hines, junior, was one of the people whose writing appeared frequently in the magazine. The cover was done in a blue paper with painting of a woman and two statues on it. Steve Ventimiglia, senior, designed the picture as part of a class project for painting. The students involved with layout spent three nights after school from 2:30 -5 working on the books. The magazines were then sold in April and May for S2 each. The student coordinators for the magazine were Troy Wickman, junior, and John Burrows, sophomore. Spiritual growth Far from being just another social club , the Blue Springs High School Youth For Christ Club practiced the philosophy that only through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ could stu- dents come to know God's will for their lives. The BSHS YFC is a affiliate of the Kansas City Youth For Christ. This non-denominational, youth ministry has several bi- ble clubs in Kansas City area junior and senior high schools. A few BSHS students participated in high school music groups featured of HYFC televion 50. The club met every morning in the library for a brief time of bible study and prayer. Each week special speakers and singers presented programs at the high school club meetings. The Blue Springs clubs also take a bus every week to the Kansas City Youth For Christ Saturday night rally to hear drama, music and preaching. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes was an organization through which students could meet and express their faith in Jesus Christ. FCA had several special co-ed functions. Two were an annual hayride and going to the show as a group. Unlike most FCA clubs, Blue Springs club is held weekly. Topics of the meetings ranged from how to be a Christian at school to how Jesus can help you become a better athlete and person. The officers were Steve Priddy, Joanie Scott, Lori Comstock, and David Watts, Presidents. The club was sponsored by coaches Fred Merrill and Jeff Floyd. Jlflimfs fye 3614! 1196 PICK AND CHOOSE.

'7' ' Girls in sports The GAA activities started off with the olympics. This was when the old members initiate the new members into the club. This consisted of just about everything from a hot dog roast to an egg throwing contest. All ofthe girls had to participate in this event to become a member of GAA. Then it was time for the Powderpuff football game once everyone had been initiated. Juniors and seniors chose their captains, coaches, and their male cheerleaders for the event. It was a low scoring game with the juniors coming out in the lead at the end with only one touchdown. The money that was raised in the game was used for the Girls Pay All Dance that the GAA girls sponsored. Another event that the girls participated in was a volleyball tournament. Daniels Dirty Deeds were the winners of the tourna- ment. They were Kim Daniels, T.J. Petsnick, Jackie Miller, Jen- ifer Boyce, Cindy Connor, Lisa Ortiz and Jamie Rew. GAA had two Saturday tournaments, ping pong and badmin- ton. The ping pong tourney was an all school event which had three categories: boys and girls singles, mixed doubles, and boys and girls doubles. The GAA members had to play the girls doubles for credit toward their letter. The winners were Chritsi Taylor and Carolyn Caton. Badminton was an all girls tournament. It was double elimina- tion, so if one team would lose they still had a chance to come up the losers bracket to take first place. The winners were Kim Daniels and Beth Buschmann. Beth and Kim had been the champions for the past three years. Although there were quite a few tournaments held for the girls, this was not the biggest project for them. The most time consuming project was the Girls Pay All Dance. The theme for the 1981-82 dance was the Christmas with Snoopy and Friends. Jon Christenson was crowned king of the dance. He was escort- ed by Jamie Rew. The year ended with a reception to hand out the letters and medals to the girls. The seniors who had participated and let- tered in GAA for three years also received a trophy. Great Athletic Association was the club, sponsored by Mrs. Dixie Droege and Ms. Linda Moler, for girls to become more involved in a variety of sports. GAA allowed the girls to become active in more sports without the every day practices. The clubl participated in softball, volleyball, ping pong, basketball and badminton. For the juniors and seniors there was also a Powder- puff Football game. The girls involved in the club could letter by attending at least four out of the five tournaments and powderpuff football was optional for any member. Officers were: Beth Buschmann, president: Bev Saban, vice president: Brenda Chappell, secretary: and Cindy Connor, trea- surer. The senior board members were: T.J. Petznick and Julie Stell. Junior Board members were: Lori Besch, Lori Embree, Christi Konkle and Vicki Weiss. Sophomore board members were: Trudy Anderson, Audrae Heerman, Jennifer Brown and Kris Hansen. GAA.

This gives the students a chance to enjoy the understanding of other people's and cultures. Two of the students who were chosen to participate in this program were Jeanne Pozo, senior, and Elsa Alston, senior. Each girl has come here from a foreign country to learn about our culture. . Jeanne Pozo, from Ecuador, is staying with senior, Ronda Potter's family. Elsa Alston, from England, is staying with senior Roger Barry's family. Blue Springs also had another' student from lsael stay here just for the first semester. Anat Balfour stayed with senior, Rob ThornhiIl's family. The responsibilities for each student to participate in this program are many. Their grades and academic performances are taken into account. The family support is needed along with financial backing. Language ability is also helpful. Each student must be mature and have the ability to handle a lengthy stay away from home, all alone in a foreign environ- ment. ' How a student will represent their school, community and country abroad is also a factor. The AFS club itself is a part of an active Metro Area AFS organization. They are supported by an adult chapter in Blue Springs. The AFS club officers for the 1981 - 1982 school year were Senior Lisa Ortiz, presidentg Senior Cindy Connor, vice-presi- dentg Senior Brenda Chappell, secretaryg and senior Angie Ziegler, treasurer. The sponsorswere Mrs. DeAnn Abram, Mrs. Julie Scott and Ms. Tina Bowling. AFS participated in the Homecoming parade by entering a float of their own. They held a Greenery Sale for the adult supporting chapter. They sold links for peace, at Christmas time along with the annual Christmas party. During February, Valentine carnations were sold. A fund- raising candy sale also took place this year. The AFS club held monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of every month. Special meetings were held when the need arose. A95 AFS.

Nominations for king and queen were taken for two weeks prior to the dance and announced that night. Paul Somogye and Lori Comstock were the 1982 Prom Royalty.

Prom - 77 Pep 611111 niform change It was obvious there nad been a change in pep club wher numbers of girls wore skirts and sweaters with Pep Club writter on them in chenille letters. The new uniforms not only made a difference in their looks but in the participation of those in Pep Club: the membership was up from the previous year with over 100 girls involved. As usual the club sponsored the Winter Sports Dance as well as painting spirit posters and making cookies for the guys and girls and on the different athletic teams. Most people joined because their friends did and because they wanted to support the guys said Rhonda Potter, club president. The girls also had an opportunity to letter in Pep Club: they had to accumulate 100 points through money making projects, attending a variety of home and away games, painting signs, attending meetings, wearing their uniform and working on com- mittees for the Winter Sports Dance. This year the rowdies at the game seemed to draw more attention than the pep Club, and for some they may have been more fun. Ronda said she thought Pep Club could lose members unless they could find a way to work together. The major sponsor of the group was Miss Tracey Creeckg Miss Virginia Bateman and Mrs. Janet Schull assisted her. We have un understanding with her, she knows about pep clubs and younger people, Ronda said of Miss Creech. She did a great job and she had pressures from all sides, if something went wrong she was blamed and it wasn't her fault Ronda said. The officers for pep club this year were Ronda Potter, senior, president: Michelle Chambers, senior, vice-president: Holly Har- ris, senior, secretary: Ashley Stigall, senior, publicity: Diane Mill- er, junior representative: Vicki Bumpas, sophomore representa- tive.

Tal- ented students in other fields also have an opportunity for rec- ognition. Big mouths and loud voices belong to members of the National Thespian League and the International Thespian Soci- ety. The NFL is an honorary speech and debate organization. The Blue Springs chapter had thirty members who earned points for membership and were then able to advance and letter in the club. NFL was active in tournament work in the Kansas City area and Andy Martone even advanced and participated in National competition in San Fransico. The 35 Thespian members were honored for their outstanding accomplishments in theater. This included both dramatic and technical aspects. To be inducted, students had to have been involved somehow in at least two plays as well as earned points in other ways. It was the Thespians then, who headed committees and crews for the play and musical and put them on. INTERNATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY.

Thirty-four Blue Springs High School students worked throughout the 1981 - 82 school year to carry out the promises found in the preamble of the Constitution of the Student Senate. Ten elected senators from each class and four officers make up the Student Senate along with class officers. Each day, fifth hour was set aside for these students to take a leadership class. Miss Betsy Hall sponsored the organization and taught the class. Time was spent on parliamentary procedure, goal setting, methods to carrying out projects, discussion of campaigns, committee reports and revising the constitution. Everything was designed to help the senators better serve in their positions and represent their peers. Easily recognizable by their decorated hats, senate members were responsible for many projects and activities conducted during the year, several of which, will be continued annually. Casual after game, dances such as the hoedown, punkin' and sock hop gave rowdy students a chance to let some of their energy out and have fun after the games. The recreation night was also a big success. Students came to see the 3-D movie, lt Came From Outer Space. To improve the campus, a spirit tree was planted. Christmas and Easter were some of the occassions it was decorated. Following through campaign promises of improved communi- cation, senate members really focused on doing just that. Open forums gave students a chance to talk to senate representatives - to complain and suggest. A glass bulletin board was also installed in the LA Commons to provide easy access to mes- sages, announcements and memos. lf it wasn't for Student Senate, students in a large student body such as ours wouldn't get their opinion voiced about any school issues. True, Student Senate is to serve the community, faculty, administration and the school, itself, essentially what we're used for is to act as a mediator between students and administration. Student Senate secretary Suzee Sloan said. A banner contest and Easter egg hunt were other projects sponsored for the first time this year. Battle of the Bands, Homecoming, United Way volley ball game, Turkey of the Month Contest, Christmas decorations contest, the teachers' tea and Christmas cards for the student body were returning activities also sponsored. The key objective to a person in leadership is that they are interested in our school and they have enthusiasm to change things, Suzee said. Dirk Hubbard served as president, Dawn Williams was vice president, Suzee Slaon served as secretary and Jon Christenson was treasurer. --- Student Senate STUDENT SENATE.

Introducing Halloween safety to ele- mentary students was one of these programs. The committee also published and distributed a brochure promoting Christmas tree safety to local grocery stores during the holiday season. The annual blood drive set records this year as BSHS students and faculty donated a total of 108 pints. The seat belt convincer is another project held annually. Working with St. Mary's hospital, the safety committee implimented another program - the child restraint pro- gram. This made restraining car seats for children available to low income families. Molle Chevrolet donated seats and St. Mary's stored them and checked them out to those who need- ed them. Members were always on the look out for safety hazards around the cam- pus and reported what they saw and had them remedied. Specifically aiding the campus and BSHS students, a water safety pro- Safety Eommittcc a MEX ..

They presided over the state meeting at Central Missouri State University. Mike Thompson, BSHS committee president was also National Student Safety vice president. ln this position he represented the organization at many other meetings, kept communi- cation between all the state commit- tees, helped organize the National meeting, approved new ideas and pro- jects and generally over-saw activities -4 L' x X Q !A-F Alv on the state level.

Throughout the semester they were taught about the library. Mrs. Kay Coen, librarian, frequently tested them over filing, alphabetizing and shelf or- der. Then they got credit for the class. Their main purpose is to keep the library operating as efficiently as possi- ble, Mrs. Coen said.

As other school districts around Mis- souri received publicity for their finan- cial problems Dr. Gale Bartow, super- intendent, assured the community and school faculty that this was not true with Blue Springs. One of my personal goals for the 1981-82 school year was to visit with each school faculty at one of their reg- ularly scheduled meetings. Most of the visits will occur after the first of the year, but last Wednesday morning l visited with the staff at the Blue Springs Junior High School, and one of the items discussed was school fi- nance. ln light of many, recent news media releases, let me a reassure you Blue Springs R-IV School District is in stable financial condition and will have no problem meeting our payrolls and other obligations, said Dr. Bartow in his superintendent's communique of Dec. 10, 1981. Dr. Bartow was elected president- elect of the American Association of School Administrators, his term began March of 1982 an will continue until March of 1983 when he will be installed as president. A new addition to the staff at the board office this year was Mrs. Bar- bara Landes. She served as the Aca- demic Achievement Coordinator for the School District. As such she began the Fi-4 Cat Country Newsline which gave various information about the schools as well as displaying some poems and written work of various students. The mes- sages were changed each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Mrs. Landes also worked with the Examinerto ensure better coverage of the students in the entire district. She worked on the Superintendent's Com- munique and the Link as well. As if all this was not enough she distributed newspapers from the schools in the district so that each school had the opportunity to be aware of what was happening in other schools. This was quite a busy year for Bar- bara Landes and every member of the School Board. Board Of Education -l.-lJ Ca ' Gearing up for seven year visit It was one of those years that only came around once in seven years. But, with anticipation, work and thought the administration geared itself, the faculty and students up for the coming of the North Central Team in April. There were committees to attend and preparations to be made. But al- though this was the priority for the year, the administration was busy in their regular duties as well. Dr. Robert Blaine, head principal, worked on the slide show for the com- mittee to show them more about the school and the community. This slide show was put to music and eventually the students and parents saw it. Over the summer Dr. Ted Lewman had received a doctoral degree from the University of Missouri in general education and administration. He also had a big year ahead as the principal for the senior class. He spent many a night supervising pranks in coopera- tion with the local police. Dr. Dennis Littrell, sophomore princi- pal, set a task for himself to call and talk to a parent or guardian of every sophomore studnet by the sixth week of school. I think it is important that the first contact a parent has with the school be positive. There is enough other negative, said Dr. Littrell. I think especially important because the sophomore year is a big year - a big adjustment, this kind of breaks the ice Mr. Eddington had his job cut out for him as he worked to clean up the build- ing and groudns ofthe campus for the North Central team as well.

One was the familiar face of Mrs. Sonja Joline, who had been the ln School Suspension counselor for two years. A goal of hers was to be- come a counselor and she did. This position gives me the opportunity to make a 'real difference' in some of them, said Mrs. Joline of the students she helps. The other new counselor was Mrs. JoEllen Lightle, who was previously the counseling center coordinator of a Li- fe! Career Planning Porgram at UMKC. ln addition to these most obvious changes, another major change was made by initiating an academic cur- riculum plan. This plan was started be- cause students, parents and staff felt there was a need for an increased em- phasis on such a program. The coun- 92 - Counselors 1 ' GIIVCI' ffffl l' 5 seling staff also began staying later after school on Mondays in order to be more accessible to working parents. The department seemed to have the same growing pains as many of the other departments. Lack of space was one problem. The reception area in the outer office was often overrun by stu- dents aides sorting report cards for the department secretary Mrs. Laura Sto- ry. The work load per counselor was also a large problem. An overload of schedule changes helped to create this problem. Some changes exceeding the definitions of those allowed in the cur- riculum guide were given. This will be changed. Computer foul-ups in sched- uling at the beginning of the year also added to the problem. In an attempt to solve these schedul- ing problems, counselors spoke to his- tory classes during enrollment for the .sg-QW Hwang,- S 4 next year. The counselors then re- viewed schedules with every student. The functions of the counselor were many and varied, in addition to those already mentioned these were includ- ed: testing, personal counseling, vo- tech coordination, special ed place- ment, homebound students, senior graduation requirements and career, college and military planning. But maybe the easiest way to define what the counselors do is through their own personal objectives. My ultimate goal is to help them become indepen- dent, responsible adults who have the tools for coping with life and who have a positive attitude about themselves and their futures, said Mrs. Joline. To help students achieve the best possible education as well as social and individual success within our edu- cational setting, said Mr. Larry Moehle.

But, in the final report it was the library that received the most recommendations. For a school its size, the library does not meet the state standards which in themselves are not overly strict said Mrs. Kay Coen, librarian. There were approximately 787 books added to the library this year, and there were about 6.4 books per student at Blue Springs High School. One improvement planned for next year is adding one full-time librarian to the present staff consisting of Mrs. Coen, librarian, Mrs. Bobbie Fry, li- brary clerk and students that served as library aides. The library not only contains books to be used as additional information in classes but also all the audio-video equipment used throughout the school. The facilities are used by the English, social studies, science, home economics, business, special services and foreign language classes as well as students from study hall. STRESSING A POINT.

For his fifth year, Mr. Watson was at school at 6 a.m. each morning to have it ready for the masses. Throughout the day he made repairs and main- tained buildings as he made his daily rounds. lt is a good job. l like it the student body is great! Mr. Watson said. lt is the best student body since l've been here. Mr. Watson rated the 1981-82 stu- dent body as his muddy buddy fa warm and trustworthy frlend.j Students treated him as more than just a janitor, but many came to him with questions, problems or just to talk. l want the kids to know that I care, that l love them l love working around them, Mr. Watson said. You don't know what it means to be able to call students by their first name when they come up to talk. But it is even more of a reward to have someone l don't even know say 'hi, Genet' I can't believe l've made more friends in the first semester than I have in the past four years l've worked in the high school. The vandalism problems exper- ienced in the past weren't an issue this year since Gene is a friend of the stu- dent body. He said they realized and appreciated what he did, and so dldn't want to make the job harder. lt was the student body, however, who he claimed really deserved the credit. l don't believe the student body gets the recognition they de- serve. Custodians clean up Students came back to school after summer vacation ready to workg custo- dians had begun their work much earli- er. They spent their summer making re- pairs. Custodians stripped and rewaxed floors, shampooed carpeting, painted walls, washed windows, changed air conditioner filters and took care of what ever else they could see needed doing. On the last few days before school began, teachers had the custodians moving filing cabinets, desks and bookshelves. They checked on teach- ers, helping where it was needed. When all was finally in readiness, stu- dents came. Still -the job wasn't over. Through- out the year Gene Watson, Mary Se- vart and Hershel lvens Maintained Blue Springs High School. Often they could be seen sweeping halls, vacuuming, emptying trash, mopping floors or be- friending students. Custodians 95 .1.,A1..c- - fv , --...... . T . ...ts t . .... gg. . 1 o .17 1 TEST TIME.

'Y Learning for future I feel each major mistake in driver's education will probably save the stu- dent an accident later on after he! she has their license! said Coach Gordon Dryer. Safety rules were stressed through practice of driving skills on the road and range and lectures, texts, and filmsg and the instructors so that the beginning driver could function better in modern society. Of the 60 hours a semester spent in the classroomg 6.3 of those hours were spent behind the wheel. A road group of three people drove an average of 10 times a semester on the road or about once every one and a half weeks. The distance traveled on these days was limited by the amount of time to drive in a class period and the number of students to a carg usually averaging 15 minutes per person. Range groups of 15 people to six cars met weekly for 15 weeks of the semester. The evasive drills have helped me the most, said Dean Cassity, sopho- more. Of the students surveyed: evasives, parallel parking and surpentines were the most helpful drills done while on the range. Another of the favorites was a reaction drill fmaking quick turning decisions at high rates ofvspeed.J Safety rules emphasized throughout the course included the use of seat belts, both hands on the wheel, checks of mirrors and tires and the use of an emergency brake while parked. The most frightening experience we had was on Noland Road when one of the guys in my road group didn't see the light change to red. We were about a foot from hitting a silver van said Linda Barr, sophomore. Blue Springs High School received their driver's ed cars from local car dealers.

His presentation in class was remarkable. I thought I knew what to do in case of an emergency but since I took this class, I found out I was wrong!

Students felt that the atmosphere was comfortable and a feeling of close- ness surrounded the students. The only disadvantages were that the inter- com system failed to reach it. Students felt that the Health class was important to their futures. They knew how to use the information in case of an accident. Also they knew how to avoid certain illnesses and in- fections. Health class is an enjoyable exper- ience. The coaches who taught it were easy to understand. They joked around with the students yet were able to be serious. They knew the informa- tion well and were able to express their views to the students. Most of the stu- dents felt that it was an enjoyable class altogether. BE INFORMATIVE.

I I U JL.. -.,,,q, x A I I I I I Students found out this year that grammar, writing, and reading are hot the only things done in English classes. At Blue Springs High School the Lan- guage Arts department offers a variety of activities ranging from watching films to discussing relationships with other students and creating commer- cials in foreign languages. For instance in Theatre I students were taught how to perform in front of an audience, while still being creative. In IPC, seniors learn what af cold prickly and a warm fUZZy are, and how they effect people. Overall, the main objective for the English department was to provide both a basic and a quality education in language arts. Dr. Maridella Andrews - .,.,.... ,vrrflight .. . Sure is a lot easier to be on the other side of an interview, said Heidi Jack- son, editor-in-chief of the Campus Cri- er. She was a staff member of the Crier for 2M years, and if all this interviewing wasn't enough she was also a member of the Campus Cadence. In the spring play Don't Drink the Water, she was the Countess Wilhamena Bordoni. In fact out of the total 26M credits Heidi Jackson will have on graduation, 13M of those are in language arts re- lated classes. Although some may equal these numbers, her contributions to the English department are hard to equal. Why was Heidi so involved in these activities? I needed something -this has worked out perfect, she said. Be- sides, she says she is a clutz in sports. Everyone that knows me, knows I am a big mouth. In senior English, theater, creative writing and newspaper staff it gives me a chance to be loud and be noticed and just express myself, said Heidi. Heidi has always been interested in language arts. As a child, Heidi was punished by not being allowed to read because this meant so much to her. This interest in writing and reading is leading her into a major in journalism at Flicks College in Flexburg, Idaho. Where she has received a scholarship in journalism. So, she will keep interviewing and coping with the hard work. Nothing I do doesn't just come flowing out of my pen - I work, she said. from Fiockhurst and Mrs. Georgia Brady from North Kansas City were just two of the new teachers added to the English Department. Mrs. Brady is the new debate team sponsor while Dr. Andrews assists her. The other addition to the depart- ment was Miss Swanhild Heilmann who came here in exchange for Miss Beth Roush. Miss Heilmann who came from Duseldorf, Germany is in a pro- gram much like a student exchange. The two teachers teach each others home school for one year while under a teacher exchange program. Leaving the department were Ms. Jane Boyce and Mr. Micki Coalwell. New books were purchased to take place of the Themes and Perceptions books. Also a curriculum change was made, Junior Focus and Junior Survey were added to take the place of Mass Media and Junior English. This curricu- lum change was made to provide a more basic education for English stu- dents. BLIND LEADING THE BLIND.

For others the art, choir and band classes were reason enough. Never- theless, enrollment increased enough to make some classes overcrowded. The band grew to 220 members dur- ing the 1981-82 school year. The Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif. and the Mu- sic Bowl were among the events and contests the band participated in. Across the hall in the art rooms, a new project was done and became a great success. The projects were life- size soft sculptures of typical high school students. Mrs. Petrillo said the students found it easy to come up with ideas because it could be related to themselves. There were choirs for any interest level in music. The vocal groups per- formed in concerts for school and community events all through the year, beginning with the A Cappella choir's performance at the fall concert. Earning a fine arts credit had not been a problem for most students due to the wide variety of classes offered and the four year time period in which it can be obtained. i 1 1 i i l 1 i Fine arts classes growing more For someone who likes to do things on their own, Teri Pinto, Senior, art is a good hobby. As a child, Teri drew a lot and this continued as she took all of the art classes she could at B.H.l-l.S. Teri drew the cover for the North Central Evaluation as well as training for the literary magazine this year. 104 Fine Arts L. She has sold some of her paintings at the Blue Springs Art Show, but it is hard for Teri to sell her paintings as it is different when you see your paintings on someone else's wall, she said. Teri won 3rd place for Water Color at an art contest in Warrensburg, Mis- souri. The contest was for any student 1 s'- T '+t's.e in Missouri. Teri said there was around 2,000 people in the contest. Teri has a full-time job as a secretary for Ozark National, but she hopes to take some night courses in interior de- sign at UMKC. ,a - - 1-'x,e-' I 1 1 1 1 -Q L I Y -5' I I I I I I I I 1 f sv, . . .C it WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE.

Fine Arts 105 1 1 li 1 1 1 1 History classes contemporar The History Department underwent various changes this year. A contem- porary issues class was added along with the world religions class that was brought back upon request. As head of the History department, Mrs. Jan Jones, felt these changes were for the better. She enjoyed teach- ing contemporary issues because the students were involved in class discus- sions. Since it was an elective course, the students were more responsive in class since they chose to be in it. The current event class dealt with a realistic view to world politics today. Students learned about world leaders, local, state and national governments. Students evaluated the news, dis- cussed national and world affairs, the Mid-East crisis and youth in the law. This class was unique. The students are involved and in- terested in this class. I think it has something to do with them being able to vote in such a few short years, said Mrs. Jones. The films that were shown this year seemed to fit in well with today's lifes- tyle. All The Presidents Men and Exo- dus were just a few that were shown. Mrs. Jones and Ms. Dacia Fizchowski worked together to make the history classes more enjoyable. They worked together over the sum- mer to split-up the topics available for discussion so they wouldn't have to be repeated in the different classes.

Without politicans and rules, can you imagine what a chaotic society it would be? said Don Raines, senior. Don's favorite class was political science with Miss Betsy. The debates over bills, were one of Don's fa- vorite parts ofthe class. His bill was for reinstate- ment of conscription -the draft. He said that he used the word conscription instead of draft so that some people would not be familiar with it and let it pass. His bill said that the United States should have a reserve force similar to Israel where everyone, male and female, was in the military for two years. Don also attended the Mock Security Council, the Mock Senate and the Mock United Nations this year. Many people think that the mock ex- periences Don was involved in were just to blow wind, and made a mockery out of it, but Don saw it as being a lot like complex international poli- tics. You get out of it what you put into it. Some day Don would like to be a politician himself. He plans to go about it as various men before him have, through the military. Don had received an appoint- ment to the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado where he was thinking of majoring in political science. He would like to go into law school eventually and by the time he is 38 retire from the military and run for political office. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT. Row one.

HOITVG ECOl'l0miCS - 109 110 - Math 'iv- Math moves in The main concept in the Math De- partment was to provide each student with the individual math skills which they desired, along with the level of their capability. This year more emphasis was based on the higher level math courses. Each teacher took time to better explain himself, so the student could fully com- prehend the course. This helped pre- pare the engineering students and the general college freshmen. The biggest change in the math de- partment this year was the move into the H.L. Stillions Math Building. Construction took place during the first half of the year but it was complet- ed in time for some to enjoy it. This building was named in honor of a former math teacher at Blue Springs. He taught for several years at BSHS, then from 1919 to 1920 he was the principal and again in 1921 to 1938. L' ' P N.. 5. After that, he taught from time to time in the district. He is remembered as a good, hard, strict teacher. Each year, Blue Springs High School gives to a senior math student the H.L. Stillions Math award, in his honor. The new building gave the students a chance to settle down in an environ- ment all their own. MATH DEPARTMENT.

Although one of his ac- complishments this year was scoring highest on the National Math Exam at Blue Springs. Cross Country and track were also important parts of David's activities. He did really well his freshman year in cross country - above average, said teammate Kurtis Julian, junior. David participated in these sports to give him something to do. But, David still had time for Algebra II. ln fact, this was his favorite class. To him it was easy, it made more sense than other classes and there didn't seem as if there was as much-to learn. After Algebra ll, David plans to take trigonometry and other college prep classes like: phys- ics and biology. Eventually he would like to major in math or comput- er science in col- lege, but for this year he just stuck with trying to keep his straight E's. IS THERE A QUESTION IN THE BACK?

The biggest change in the depart- ment came after the second semester when the girls were finally able to move into their new gym and no longer had to worry about running up the hill to class or carrying their gym clothes with them wherever they might go. To graduate students had to have one credit of physical education, one semester of which had to be taken dur- ing their sophomore year. There was a general sophomore 112 Physical Education physical education class consisting of various activities. individuals who par- ticipated in sports were encouraged to take physical fitness to help develop and maintain strength and endurance through weight lifting and games of en- durance. Recreational theory was a co-ed class with basic classroom instruction with some field participation for juniors and seniors. ln this class students learned about back packing, water safety, hunter safety, basic first aid and rules interpretation of high school interscholastic sports. There was also a beginning and ad- vanced course in gymnastics. They first introduced students to every piece of equipment and students eventually picked those pieces that they wanted to work on specifically. Cheerleaders also received credit for their work and were enrolled in cheer- leading as a class. Other courses included instruction in the following sports: track and field, speedball, softball, basketball, volley- ball, flag football, soccer, wrestling, jogging, tennis, horseshoe pitching, shuffleboard, table tennis, archery, golf, badminton, swimming, tumbling, paddle tennis and field hockey. ,f G f--'-- - I .

Through it students were able to better understand their place in the world around them and how this position could be improved. The main objectives of the science department were to help the students interpret scientific information, under- stand the role of science and to appre- ciate its function in society. ln doing this the students received practical experience through labs, lec- tures and text books. Most labs were done in the science rooms using equip- ment available such as microscopes, incubators, testtubes, dissecting tools and bacteria stains. Experiments were done on plants, bacteria, fetal pigs, tis- sues, cats, and leaves. Labs making it Spotlight j possible to see the reactions of metals and tem- peratures were also done. Some other observations were done out- side. Students would view the sun, moon and stars through telescopes. These learning processes have prov- en to be effective in years previous so no new changes were made to start the 1981-S2 school year. Studying life, environment Karou Williams liked science so much that she was planning on major- ing in biology at UMKC. At Blue Springs, Karou took physics, botany and Chemistry ll. She also was vice-president of the Science Club and helped build the so- lar oven in that club. She felt that high school science was easy but the sci- ence class she took for college was harder and more competitive. She expected to be busy at college, science has a lot of labs, it takes up more time than basics, she said. With her degree in biology Karou hoped to go on into medicine, she would like to be a doctor or a dentist. She liked science and the idea of being around people. A ln her spare time Karou liked to go shopping and watched movies, she was also a member of Key Club and National Honor Society. She worked at the library in Blue Springs for extra money. LIKE A PBC.

S9 Vx - 4 M, W1 e-Z-se Two added to industrial arts There were variety of courses in the Industrial Arts area which could be tak- en to meet the one credit requirement of practical arts classes needed for graduation. Drafting was broken into three courses. The first was designed to offer students opportunities to learn and de- velop skills in, and knowledge of, the drafting industry. The next two classes worked at developing the skills ac- quired in the first course. Woodworking classes were also available for those interested in this area. First the students studied differ- ent kinds of woods and tools. Then they produced and planned projects from wooden salad utensils to boxes and wall hangings. Construction and maintenance was a year long course of a three hour block. It was open to juniors and sen- iors accepted on the basis of their AS- BUA scores and a teacher interview. The course taught the theory, a lay- out and planning of the projects to be completed. The second part of the class provided a hands-on experience in areas such as electrical wiring, glaz- ing, carpentry, masonry, plumbing, ground care and general maintenance. This class also worked around the dis- trict on various projects that needed to be done. Of the three teachers who worked in the industrial arts area two of them were new this year. Mr. John Jackson taught Wood I and advanced wood. Mr. Mel Shields taught the building trades class. These two teachers took the place of Mr. House and Mr. Gaines. BIONIC ARM.

Team works for different reasons The supportive services work to- gether as an interdisciplinary team in making decisions on what programs are best suited for students who have been referred. The testing responsibil- ities are shared, Carolyn Chaney, reading lab adviser said. The supportive services program in- cluded the Learning Center, Reading Lab, Work! Study, Title lV program, ln- School Suspension and the Clinic. These classes offered specialized help to refferred students. Mrs. Nancy Stevens and Miss Gwenus Williams advised students in the Learning Center. The main pur- pose is to assist students with normal land even abovet intelligence in achieving their potential, Stevens said. The program did this through the individual programs established for each student. Students received credit through this. 1 18 Special Services L . Reading lab, taught by Mrs. Chaney, served to aid language development for foreign speaking students, assist students with reading problems, teach organizational skills and assist college- bound students in reading comprehen- sion and studying skills. The purpose of Work!Study is that the Work!Study student is not going to college so high school prepares him to have a very real goal vocationally by the time of graduation, Joyce Vinson, adviser said. Basic courses are taught along with job placement and job train- ing units. Students who have been identified by a staff of trained people as having academic handicaps that re- quire special help and who are in need of Vocational Rehabilitation to reach their highest employment potential are involved in the service said Vinson. Title IV is taught by teachers of the actual courses in which a student may be experiencing difficulty. Sharon Tamborella was the teacher aide who then helped the students in the area where they may be having the problem. Tamborella said, The pur- pose of the Title lV Program is to pro- vide a curriculum for students who are experiencing difficulty in assignments in sophomore English, math, science and social studies. ln-School-Suspension is an oppor- tunity for students who have seriously broken school policy to get a second chance. They can remain in in-school and still get credit - not lose days - toward the attendance policy, yet still they're being punished by being de- nied certain school privileges, Linda White said. Dot Miller worked in the clinic to care for the student who became ill or was injured in school. She also assisted stu- dents who had long term illnesses, ix -it-+-Atl T-vi 3-----'Q--w--J . --- i Q AV t t , s , l.v lin. ki t ' I l Q Kr l'l l l l I l -tt- t A x 5 5 - 'N Q tiff:- 1 . . i 1 SPECIAL SERVICES STAFF.Joyce Vinson, Miss HELPFUL HANDS.

The primary purpose of the vo-tech school was to take his place in the working world. Along with Blue Springs, students came from schools through the area such as Fort Osage, Grain Valley and Oak Grove. This gave the students the opportunity to work with students from different backgrounds. Each school paid tuition for the time their students spent at the vocational school. Sophomores, as prospective stu- dents, took the Armed Services Voca- tional Aptitude Battery and were then evaluated by the counselors. Those chosen attended Vo-tech their junior and senior years. Those students were placed in trade skill classes such as auto body repair, auto mechanics, building trades, commercial building services, drafting, electronics, graphic arts, health services, heavy equipment repair, data processing, small engine mechanics and welding. Each class was under the direction of Mr. Walter Kennon and lasted two hours and 45 minutes. At the end of two years the student had accu- mula108O hours of skill training in or- der to gain employment at an entry level or to assist him to obtaining ad- vanced training. VICA was a youth organization avail- able to all areas of the school which worked in the trades. The activities for VICA included leadership training, job skill development, public speaking and specific trade skills. Each club partici- pated in competition and conventions on the district level. Carla Atkinson placed first in data processing, Mike Erwin placed first in auto body and Amy Hamilton placed first in job skill demonstration.

' - ww..-K l, l 3 I. 2 I l Y :l f New group unites school One of the newest ways of bringing the students and the faculty together with the parents is PTSA. The Parent Teacher Students Association is a new organization that was brought to Blue Springs High School this year with the help of Dr. Robert Blaine and Mr. Jim Knoche, father of senior Scott Knoche. The purpose of this organization is to help the students to feel more satisfied with school. It helps them and parents to become better acquainted with the faculty. Myke Jones, sophomore, was this year's Membership Chairman. His du- ties were to help promote the organiza- tion with publicity. He helped to urge membership among the students and parents. For a family membership the cost was 554. Over 200 people joined this year. The outlook was good for future membership. The first years are always hard on a club. People tend to shy away. More publicity is all we need to help boost our membership, said Myke. PTSA was an organization for stu- dents to be involved in to make them more aware of what the school does for them and what they can do for the school. l feel PTSA is a good organization. If students knew how well it would benefit them, the organization could grow and be more active, said Myke. As a charter member of Blue Springs PTSA, Myke has had an opportunity to work with the other teachers and parents who are officers. This experience was a unique way for a sophomore to begin is high school years. ,.. - , q ,,4J. da Getman, Brad Gleseke, Janelle Gibson, Kevin Gillison, Kim Gillotti, Vince Girardi, Jeanne Gladbach, Jill Gladson, Dawn Glass, Tim Glasstord, Tracy Glebe, Laura Godsy, Gary Gossett, Doug Grabb, Diane Graham, Travis Green, Kelly Green, Randy Greer, Barbara Gregory, Shannon Grigg, Debbie Grover, David Gumminger, Gary Gunderson, Troy Gustin, Pat Hahn, Dana Hake, Mike Hamilton, Larry Handley, Joanna Handy, Sheldon Hanley, Kim Hansen, Darci Hanson, Kris Hanson, Lauri Hardie, Kenny Harken, Bruce Sophomores 'fri ' , ..- Harmon, Angie Harmon, Flobin Harrington, Darin Harris, Kathy Heady, Karynn Heard, Joel Heckler, Patricia Hedges, Sabrina Heermann, Audrae Heinking, Steve Heeme, Sarah Henderson, David Hennrick, John Henry, Kelly Education, activities and fun are what your high school years should be used for.

Because this hour has such an enormous amount of tardies compared to the others teach- ers will send students to the office no matter how good their excuse for being late is Although some excuses take a lot of time and effort to create when they are told they are received with nothing but laughs from students and a dry comment from the teacher Often they do more harm than good On the other hand tardies can be a hassle for both the teacher and the student Dr Maridella Andrews English teacher said I worry more about my lessons for the day than who makes it to class on time f Vis s fix WAWNM 's SW I WASWZT ixffzis 37 gl I J 1 i 5 ' l l -- W, Webb, Bick Wellner, Gary Wendell, Tammy Westervelt, Dan Whetstone, Brett White.

All of this temptation was not to get the students next door to rush out the door and sign up for a foreign language class but it was meant to get students familiar with the culture they were studying. The fringe benefit of the tastetesting was a break from the monotony of classwork. You need different things all the time said Ms. Tina Bowling you have to keep doing things to keep their interest up. This exercise in cullenary delights can also be seen as a reward for performance in class said Mrs. DeAnn Abram.

Yes, the annual turkey of the month contest was again held during Thanksgiving to see who would win a 20-pound turkey. The winner this year was Coach Phil Lees, his- tory, who was more than happy to take the bird home for dinner. Students donated money for points, which were exchanged for feathers and placed on the teach- ers bird. Pennies and dollars added points to the teacher's turkeys and silver money subtracted points, so that the amount of money given did not ensure that the teacher would win. lt was not just winning the turkey, I didn't really need it. lt was lots of fun, said Coach Lees.

He was a name of a hundred faces. He was a friend and a husband. But he is now dead. The man you saw as Bluto, in Ani- mal House, a Japanese fighter pilot, in 1941 , a TV weatherman and a Greek restaurant owner on Saturday Night Live, died on Mary 26, 1982, of an apparent drug overdose. Beiushi was a cocaine user who was very ill, whose body was suffering from a variety of disorders, including an en- larged heart and obesity. He was not a good candidate to survive a stressful experience like a heavy dose of co- caine, herion and alcohol. And he didn't. John wasn't always into drugs. He wanted to be respected and that meant he didn't smoke, drink, or take drugs. This started in high school when he was the captain of the football team. And continued on, for a while, into his acting career. On his climb to the top, Beiushi started low. He and two friends, while attending a series of Midwestern col- leges, performed weekends at a Uni- versal Life Church for S1 admission. His first big break was an audition at Second City. John was like a contem- porary baggy-pants comedian, he got laughs just walking on the stage. ln 1972, a National Lampoon edi- tor caught one of John's performances and invited him to join the case of Lemmings. It was there that he per-at fected his spastic imitation of rock star Joe Cocker. The ecstatic criticial re- sponse to Lemmings sent Beiushi soaring. He was an over night success. Belushi's subsequent success on Saturday Night Live only wetted his appetite for success. While in the midst of a regular season with SNL he took on three feature films. He appeared in Goin' South with Jack Nicholson and Animal House. After AH he took on his first serious role in Old Boyfriends. As for the Blues Brothers act that Beiushi and Dan Aykroyd made fam- ous on SNL, it was born at a local hotel in Eugene, Ore. As a disillusioned rock'n'roll fan, Be- iushi found the blues music played by Curtis Salgado, a revelation. But throughout the set-hopping, Be- iushi never gave up a favorite occupa- tion he had acquired - partying all night long. And in the end, that is what killed the man. Videos money makers VW! Game rooms were opening up all over Blue Springs, there was Future Sport at the Kingsridge Shopping Cen- ter and then came the White Oak Fun Center and Snack Bar in the White Oak Plaza, not to mention the games you would find in the lobbies and cub- by holes of local stores and eating es- tablishments. The electricnic age had hit America and Blue Springs by storm with video games. It was a S5 billion obsession according to the Nov. 16, 1981 Newsweek Stores in the Independence-Blue Springs area held contests to encour- age young people to play the games and those with money to buy them for the home television set. The majority of those who played the games were teen-age boys. Their parents may not have been happy about this expensive habit that seemed to endlessly swallow quarters but the games had them captivated. They lparentsj don't like it, but I just tell them that it develops quick- ness in eye. and hand coordination, and l like matching my wits against a computer, said Bomne Jackson, ju- mor. There were three groups of games, 164 World News the most popular was the coin-operat- ed console for arcades. These were equiped with 19-inch screens and spe- cial effects. Pac Man was one of the most popu- lar of these games. ln this the object was to run through a maze while being chased by man-eating monsters, or rather pac-man eating monsters. Another popular game was Space Invaders. The object of this game was to destroy the aliens that were after you by shooting them down. There were other games too. Missile Com- mand, Asteroids, Battlezone, Centi- pede, Donkey Kong and Berzerk just to name a few. Another type of game was the hand- held one that could be brought to school and played in class if the teach- er didn't detect it. Finally the third type of game was the one that could be played at home on a person's own television. There were various cassettes of the popular arcade games that had been converted for home use. Whatever the future may hold, the 1981-82 school year had seen the stu- dents move into the computer age more than ever. h I i l i L !- - 'lv' A 5- ' ' n'-gg.

The cast was familiar to the audience. - Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn and Jane Fonda. 1 After surgery and illness it was senti- mental for the daughter to see her fa- ther receive various awards for his per- formance. Everyone loves fairy tales or so it seemed as an approximately 750 mil- lion people watched last summer as Lady Diana Frances Spencer, 20, be- came the wife of Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, 32. It was a wedding full of pageantry with a groom in fulldress naval uniform complete with medals and sword. The bride wore an ivory dress with a 25- foot silk train. There was a palace par- ty for 160 and a fireworks display at Hyde Park for 700,000. A parade of landaus delivered the wedding party to the Cathedral of St. Paul in London from Buckingham Palace as thou- sands of people lined the streets where they had camped for several days to catch a glimpse of the royalty. Diana arrived in a fairytale coach. After the wedding she and Charles were whisked away and made the tra- ditional balcony appearance at Buck- ingham Palace where they broke tradi- tion and kissed each other. The carriage that took them to the train depot where they would begin their honeymoon had a sign proclaim- ing Just Married on the back and a collection of balloons. Shy Di soon won the hearts of the people of Wales and the world as she traveled with Charles stopping to greet children and adults alike and shake their hands wherever she went. Later in the year it was announced that Diana, Princess of Wales was ex- pecting a child in the summer of 1982. It was a fairy come true. Families together But that was what the movie was about families, fathers, daughters, hus- bands, wives all together on On Gold- en Pond. Norman Thayer Jr. lHenry Fondal and his wife Ethel, iKatherine Hep- burnl have come to their summer home but they have thoughts that this might just be their last summer togeth- er. Their daughter Chelsea iJane Fondaj comes to visit them with her boyfriend Bill iDabney Colemanl and his 13-year-old son Billy lDoug McKeonl to celebrate her father's birthday. She and Bill decide to leave for Europe leaving Billy behind with her parents. Norman plays a paternal role with Billy, a role he has not quite been able to accomplish with his own daughter. His dealings with the boy, his daughter and his wife all lend to the sentimental- ity of the situation. Big adventure looking for Ark From jungle caverns in Peru to an United States college campus to Ne- pal's bars the audience watched Harri- son Ford play the character indiana Jones in the summer's big hit movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark! Raiders had everything, chase scenes damsels in distress, Nazi vil- lains, a snake-infested Egyptian crypt, good guys, bad guys, intrigue, sus- pense and even romance. lt had two big stars Harrison Ford, previously known for his portrayal as Hans Solo in Star Wars , and Karen Allen, who played the character of Marion a bar owner who punches out Solo when she tirst sees him. The movie also had a well known producer and director. George Lucas and Steven Spielberg known for their work in Star Wars, Jaws, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, combined to make this movie the suc- cess it was. The story revolves around Indiana Jones' attempt to find the lost Ark of the Covenant, a chest containing the Ten Commandments. U.S. army intel- legience believes that the Nazis have found the place where the lost Ark is and if it is true the lost Ark is and if it is true that the Ark contains the Power of God they want to prevent the Nazis from finding it. This movie was a chance for people of all ages to escape for awhile and escape they did with Indiana Jones and Marion to distant places and new adventures. World News 165 n 7 , ., .Aly 1 'UQ 4-.......... .. ' l I I 1- Kansas Cit witnesses disaster How a room filled with merriment can change within moments to the worst disaster in Kansas City history, will probably only be known to those who filled the Hyatt Regency Hotel for the weekly Tea Dance on July 17, 1981. At 7:11 p.m., shortly after the dance contest had begun, the second and third floor walkways of one of the most elegant hotels in the city, collapsed on the crowded dance floor. Estimates were made that.at least 500 persons were in the hotel lobby when the walkways fell and at least another 100 persons were on each of the two walkways, which hung over the dance floor. Whether the disaster was caused from an excess of weight, swaying motion or faulty support sys- tems, it happened. It was said to have been like a bomb had gone off, people were laying ev- erywhere and with injuries of all types. Rescue personnel from several cities around the area helped in caring for the injured. Chain saws and tractors were used to cut through debris that stood as much as six foot tall in some spots. Ambulances lined up like taxis, waited as victims, were carried out. The story of what happened inside the Hyatt is not pretty, but it is one of heroic efforts, of workers joined to- gether, some times for the first time, and the efficiency of their efforts re- gardless of past problems or con- cerns, said Jim Grinstead, of the Blue Springs Examiner. HYATT DISASTER. Cranes are forced through windows to help clear wreckage when the sky walk collapsed at the Hyatt Regency. Census, building show growth Blue Springs has been growing in the past few years and still is. The 1970 census showed that Blue Springs had 6,779 people living there, the 1980 census showed 34,876 persons living in the area. The town has had to expand to meet the needs of this growing population, and a number of supermarkets, recrea- tional facilities and retail businesses were added to the community. This year the old R D Mize Rd. run- ning in front ofthe school and continu- ing along the highway was reconstruct- ed. As a consequence there was an outer loop running from Woods Chap- pel Rd. to 7-Highway along I-70. Con- 166 Local News . B.. struction was also done along 7-High- way at the intersection of 40 Highway. The school contined to work with the community on various projects includ- ing the Civic Center, the Centennial Pool-Plex, the Fall Fun Fest and the Miss Blue Springs competition. There was no bond issue this year instead work was done on the new Stil- lions Math building, the new girls' gy- masium was added and one mobile unit was brought to campus to house the health and driver's education classes. But as the town and school continue to grow together more school bond issues will inevitably need to be passed.

Teachers, administrators and other staff had been working since the 1980- 1981 school year in various commit- tees and assignments but later in 1982 students began to see the fruits of the visit. Although sidewalks had been planned before North Central, they ap- peared one week before the team was to visit. Plants and bushes were placed around the campus, trash cans were positioned between buildings, desks and chairs appeared in classrooms re- placing older worn-out models. Stu- dents wondered why these improve- ments had not been made earlier. But whatever the reason, changes were made and North Central gave the school the boost that it needed to be top notch. lt makes the school look at itself, said Dr. Robert Blaine, principal. lt complements the things that are good about the school, and corrects the things that aren't. The school needs to belong, said Dr. Blaine. If your school takes a good attitude toward the evaluation - it's good. lt does two things for the school, it sets standards of excellence for the school to follow, and it allows you to look at yourself every seven years. Without this evaluation most schools would not look at themselves and thus would not change. This was important to Blue Springs. One of the Major ma- jor changes that will come as a product of the North Central Evaluation will be an improved library as this was one of the things which the report stressed needed immediate improvement. There were other suggestions made that will be looked at in the years to come as well. But most ofthe commit- tee was impressed with the school. You can take a run down, delapi- dated 1960 Ford and do a lot of things L' X.!. to put it in running order, but if you have a Mercedes or Cadillac, and it looks great and runs like a million dol- lars, it's hard to improve upon it, said Dr. Al Burr, princial of Clayton High School and chairman of the NCA visit- ing team. ln this analogy Dr. Burr sug- gested that the school might not be a Mercedes yet, but parents are and the rest is well on its way. The NCA is the largest accrediting association in the United States. It is made up of 19 states across the coun- try. For the evaluation a steering com- mittee with Mrs. P.J. Petrillo heading the committee was formed. Members of this committee consisted of the chairmen from 12 other committees that discussed various phases of the school. Each teacher was required to be a member of one ofthese 12 committees and one committee which dealt with their subject area. These committees were provided with evaluation sheets to help them gauge the quality of work done in each area. These sheets were then given to the educators from Missouri and Kan- sas who were chosen to serve on the visiting committee. This visiting committee came to BSHS April 4, 5 and 6. While at the school they attended various break- fasts and dinners and committee meet- ings. They also observed the school and the classes individually. Members of the committees talked to student groups including Student Senate and students that they saw around cam- pus. The visitors also chatted with faculty asking them what they felt their needs were. Based on all these observations and conversations the team made its recommendations to the school. Dr. Burr felt that our North Central Evaluation was the best organized evaluation that he had ever attended, said Dr. Blaine. He also felt that we had done the most thorough self-eval- uation that he had seen. - -lv .,, ,,,,.-.f-.1 1 g Parking lot home for cars, band The Blue Springs High School park- ing lot was a busy place. With 519 seniors and 538 juniors who were eligi- ble to drive and 559 sophomores that were also able to drive by the end of the year. Since Blue Springs was a suburban high school some students chose to drive rather than take a bus. Others worked half a day for DE or OE classes. Many students had jobs after school and they needed cars to get to them quickly. When days were nice in the springs more parents let their students The driver's education classes also used the parking lot for testing the range skills of their students. Then of course when the cars were all gone the marching band used the lot for practic- ing. All in all the parking lot was a busy place. .. rs., A . Heilmann finds year packed with learning For some this year was more difficult one than for others. Just imagine teaching in a country in which you are not accustomed and teaching a sec- ond Ianguage rather than a primary language several hours a day. This difficulty was one that Miss Swanhild Heilmann from Dusseldorf, Germany had this year as she ex- changed places with Miss Beth Roush, German teacher. It was organized through the Ful- bright Commission at the Department of Education in Washington, D.C. While Miss Heilmann taught Roush's classes in Blue Springs, Miss Roush was teaching Miss Heilmann's English classes in Germany. Miss Hellman arrived in the United States on Aug. 18. She was able to go with the band to the Rose Bowl for the Christmas holiday, she also worked with the girls' tennis team since she enjoyed the sport so much. She at- tended a Royals' game and various other American pastimes. Part of the problems she exper- ienced stemmed from the fads and customs that most Americans take for granted. Things like tic-tac-toe and the traditional prank of t.p. were hard for her to understand at first. But Miss Heilmann made it through the year just as Miss Roush did and they will have many experiences from the other culture to remember and re- late when they return to their normal environments.

When the day is over the students got in their cars and raced to various places, but there was one place they were not encouraged to go - parking lots. Several businesses around town had posted signs to try to discourage students from loitering in their parking lots and causing disturbances. These signs in the McDonalds parking lot on 7-Highway, the Save mart parking lot and the I-70 shopping center lot are just some examples. li- C702 GUSTOMER CONSIDERATION rwmmmwmmw 2mmwmwmmMmm wma , 3 SMH :Para um T X 15,1 g . , ' 6117720 2 . i V j 5 IW .S'7f4M9llY0 0073705 0F MIPS? 1 1 O Q X 5544.

Of course the most popular thing to do was to cruise 7-Highway. First of all, deciding on what time to start cruising. Terri Bennett a senior, said, 10 O'clock is the best time to start because there are more people out. Now that the time was settled the next thing to do was stop at the chea- pest gas station and buy gas. Usually to cruise in my car, it takes S13-S15 a week. said Bub Jackson, junior. Now that the tank was full, a decision had to 180 Student Life be made. What did people look for when cruising? Bill Guthrie, junior, said, l'm always looking for good looking girls. But what happened if there were not any girls to look for? So they took a trip over to the near- est fast-food restaurant. Maybe even stop in and get a bite to eat. For girls, friends and guys were the main interest while cruising. Frances Brancato, a junior, said, l'm going to look for some of my friends. Jeff Ar- nold, sophomore, said, l'm always looking for a good race or even a good chase after someone. After cruising for nearly two hours a stop was made at Save Mart. Some friends were stopped and talking. Finally a decision was made, to get into one car to save money. Naturally everyone goes in the best looking car. The one that attract- ed the most people. Shelly Hawkins, senior, said, A Trans-Am is the best car to cruise in. But if a Trans-Am wasn't available Denise Amerine said, That any sports car will do. But was cruising 7-highway really worth all of that time and money? But without 7 highway, what else would students do? gr ' !'x.e, ' . A !! '- -fl Bumper The designer fad seemed to be cropping up everywhere, even on the ends of cars. This was seen in the personalized license plates that many choose to purchase. A fee had to be paid twice t a yearg in January and July. ' 0 There was a six letter limit to the license. But, the combina- tions were innumerable. They could be a name, a special mes- sage to motorists or just an easy way for the owner to remember their license number on all those times when they may need to. These license plates came from both the students and teach- ers at Blue Springs. Bumper Designer plates A i . I ., .1 4 ,Y A .....,.....

But for some, classes sure do seem easy. Most classes were not really that easy, it was the way the teacher ap- proached the class. When a teacher said, Don't worry about getting this assignment done tonight, l'll give you time in class tomorrow, the student was not going to rush home and do the assignment. The student probably just blew it oft. But some classes just came easy. I take an easy class for a break between my harder classes, said Zena Cham- bers, a senior. Another reason students took an easy class was to provide free time for - -. 1 -- 1. . various activities. For seniors only needing 3 or less credits, an easy class was used to help out their grade point average. Most of the electives were more fun than the regular everyday required classes. T. J. Petznick, senior, said, I take an elective to get away from the regular everyday monotonous classes. Other students took an easy class so they could bring home the grade cards and get paid for an E. In return the parents expected the same thing next time. There were still those classes, that some students couldn't pass them if they tried. While others could sleep through them and get an E on the test the next day. I ,, l M Y, , , ' wwf ,. -7 Z EW 3 Z , f I ? Q 9 5' Q iw a , 5 i W X WWW .,x. .N ,, .- , JW X W 1 V f ,f X .

Team tackles winning season again 4. ff aye ia, f l it 1 'P 1 1 ' K 'Z Wg . f ' Q' ffl f: 2 ' f Although the Wildcat Varsity football team had a winning record of 7 - 2, they were unable to advance to the state playoffs because of their season loss to Winnetonka. This was the same record as the previous year which enti- tled the Cats to the playoffs. Despite this disappointment the year had its various highlights. What better way to begin these high- lights than the season opener victory over the Hickman Mills Cougars. Jeff Hake, senior, drove the ball for a 53-yard touchdown, the first of the season. Senior, Eric Bruder, kicked the Cats extra point. Tony Turner, senior, ran for the second touchdown aided by Quarterback Tom Quick, senior, pass. Bruder again kicked the extra point. The winning touchdown occurred when Bruder caught a Cougar punt and took it to Hickman's 3-yard line, and giving Hake the opportunity to score the last touchdown. The final score was Cats 20, Cougars 6. Blue Springs Wildcats were again vic- torious over the Fort Osage Indians in a 24-seven win. Tony Turner, senior, scored the Cats first touchdown on a 48-yard pass play by senior quarterback, Tom Quick. The following score took place when senior Eric Bruder kicked a field goal.

Steve Priddy, senior, two unassisted tackles, two assisted tackles and two interceptions with run- backs for 35 yards. The Wildcats met the Columbia Hickman Kewpies on the football field for the sixth year. And for the sixth year in a row they were unable to de- feat them. We just made too many mistakes. We let them have too much on the ground in the first quarter. Defensively, we did a very solid job but were incon- sistent on our offense, said Head Coach Fred Merrill. The Cats scoring came on a safety by senior, Steve Priddy, and a 30 yard touchdown run by Jeff Hake, senior. Hake had 12 carries for 36 yards. Tim Berry, senior, had four carries for 20 yards.

Both the offensive and defensive lines played very well, said Head Coach Fred Mer- rill. The final score was Cats 26, Patri- ots 3. Even with misty rain, sleet and a muddy field, nothing could stop the Cats from winning the 1981 - 82 Homecoming game against the Flock- hurst Hawklettes.

The Cats ended their season with a 10-10 record that pleased Coach Dave Priddy. This year's team has unlimit- ed potential and we made great pro- gress using lt, stated Priddy. The young squad had its trouble late in the year after winning seven of eight games at mldseason. It was losing six of the last seven games that got the most ofthe girls. We are still a young group and we learned a lot through our losses, commented Coach Priddy of the season. Leading the team's labors and gain- ing special recognition for their efforts were Kim Daniels, senior, first team All- Conferenceg and juniors, Suzy and Sal- ly Flies, second team All-Conference, and Jo Hildebrand, honorable men- tion. ln addition, seniors, Bev Sabah, and Beth Buschmann, and juniors, Christi Taylor and Vicki VanTrump fin- ished with an outstanding season.

The Wildcat soccer team completed its first full season of play with a 5-6-3 regular season record and a tourna- ment record of 2-2. Practices and home games were held on Spilker field at Pink Hill Park. Since few schools around the area have soccer teams, away games often involved long road trips. lt was a season of highs and lows, with wins harder to come by in the beginning. But the kickers never gave up when things got rough. We were constantly hussllng, commented Coach Brad Dunn, I think that was a main factor in at least two of our wins and two of our ties. Our biggest thrill came when we shut out Ftockhurst. They were the No. 1 team in Kansas ' 1 -5 -r ucv- City and No. 1 seated in district. The Rockhurst game was scoreless until late in the second half when Jeff Houston, senior, finished the season by holding Rockhurst's leading scorer to no goals. Because this was the first full season of play, goals were to be set not broken. The team set overall records of 7 wins, 3 ties and one shutout. Carl Spilker, sophomore, scored 12 goals during the season, the most of anyone on the team. '? l 111 il ill 3 L W by iff ' 4 it U, S2524 ff .ZX , ge YK SOCCER TEAM.

But on August 17, the first day of practice, the team was 23 strong. Two of those 23 were returning varsity let- termen, and six were returning junior varsity Iettermen. ln addition to these points in their favor, junior varsity play- ers Tina Alberty, Sherri White and Diana Smith attended a July tennis camp at Northwest Missouri State, Maryville. However, despite such optimistic beginnings several injuries put the Injury, experience hurt team ' team at a disadvantage. Lisa Joline was injured in a car wreck and Kellie Ericson underwent an operation and they were out for the season. Jenny Sherwood and Christy Jobe suffered injuries which incapacitated them to play full strength. The season began Sept. 8 with a match against Hickman Mills. At the end of the season, the team set their sights for matches against Belton and St. Mary's. The team defeated St. Mary's Oct. 22. A highlight of the season was the conference tournament. Doubles teams of Jenny Sherwood and Lucinda Decker, and Julie Hagaman and Christy Jobe played teams from Tru- man. The two singles players Shelly Joline and Chris Buck played Lee's Summit opponents. The Junior varsity teams of Sherri White and Lori Besch, and Chris Buck and Angie Willett played teams from Truman and Winne- tonka.

The course, Hidden Valley in Winne- 212 Boys' Cross Country e.-' tonka, consisted of only about 100 yards of flat running and the rest hills. The Cats used the toughest of the hills, Heartbreak Hill, to their advantage by passing their opponents at this point. We kept a low profile and our heads together the whole day. We knew we could do it, said Kurtis Julian, junior. Despite the rainy weather, competi- tion was tough. The Cats pulled to- gether to win the first place title with ' vt 'Xl 5' nun Scott Stetzler and Doug Kingsley, ju- niors, leading the pack with first and fourth places respectively. In regular season, out of 10 meets the team had four first places, three second places and one third place.

Solid teamwork and willingness to run in any position proved to be the main factor for a successful team. The competition in the area is much tougher, but this team had more dedi- cated athletes willing to put out the effort needed to excel, said Coach Jan Jones. The most valuable runner was Nat- alie Heinking, who was the number one runner for the team. Natalie placed second in the conference meet which abled her to run in the state meet. This is only the second year in which a Blue Springs girl has qualified for a state meet, since Heidi Hilsabeck in 1979. The year also had its thrills and disap- pointments. The team's biggest thrill was winning first place in the tri-meet against Cen- ter and Hickman Mills High Schools. Out of 16 runners the team placed eight runners. Natalie Heinking placed second and Tammy Quick fourth. But there was also one dissapointment, Coach Jones said, We missed quali- fying for the state meet by 15 points and realizing with a little extra effort we would have made it. There were also young runners which helped the team. Tammy Quick and Amanda Heinking both placed in several meets respectfully. Overall the team finished third in conference and eighth in district.

Our team this year was a better tour- nament team than dual team. We start- ed the season out slow and came on strong toward the end, said Coach Chuck Sears. Seniors Tom Sevart and Mike Rooney each came out on top this year winning the State Championship. Tom wrestled 105 lbs. winning 30 matches and losing one.

Winning this title two years in a row is a tremendous feat. Senior Tom Sevart, was recognized this year in the 1981- 82 wrestling season for this very feat. Winning state for second year in a row was very exciting for me. My par- ents gave me a lot of support which helped a lot knowing someone was be- hind me who cares, said Tom. Tom has been wrestling since the 8th grade. Having his older brother, Joe's, footsteps to fall in, wrestling nat- urally took its course for Tom. Winning at state last year put a lot of pressure on Tom. lt gave me some- thing to look forward to for this year. lt also gave me something to lose. Coach Sears helped me out a lot though. He pushed me harder so l would win said Tom. Injuries are very common during the wrestling season. Torn ligaments, broken fingers, twisted knees and smashed toes are all setbacks during the season. But, like other sports, the Cats learned to overcome them. Running endless miles, climbing rope after rope, jumping benches, lift- ing weights and losing the pounds are all in a days work for the Cats wrestling team. The season's meets themselves were excellent practices for those striv- ing for state competition. Senior Mike Rooney, also accom- plished the State title in the 1981-82 season. Mike won in the 119 lbs. cate- gory. Mike has been wrestling for five years now. He has continued to work out through the summers during free- style meets. This is good practice for all wrestlers to have, it keeps them in shape and teaches them new moves for the up-coming season. Mike chose to wrestle instead of any sport. I liked to wrestle because it's a team sport, but, you're out there on an individual basis, said Mike. Mike plans on furthering his wres- tling ability and going on to college. He will be wrestling 126 lbs at college. . My parents have helped a lot dur- ing wrestling. There were a lot of times when l just felt like quitting but they supported me and kept me going. '-' f .b'4l Coach Sears was always there too. Coach Sears has always had a No. 1 goal for each wrestler to be a state champion. He gave me encourage- ment after losing in the district finals. I had to wrestle the same guy again, for State and he said I could do it. l was doubtful but his confidence in me probably wouldn't have gone as far as helped me to win. lf it wasn't for him, l l did. He is oneof the best coaches in Missouri, if not the best, said Mike. To have Coach Sears as my coach was an honor. l think Sears is the best coach in Missouri. He pushed me into practicing harder. He thought I had the ability to become the first two time state champion in 4A for the school. If you want to become a first time state champ or more, you have got to want it and work for it. lt's all mental if you want it bad enough, said Tom. Being a state champion is a highlight in anyones life. lt was my No. 1 goal in high school, said Mike. People look 'up to you. l got a lot of support from the team. lt was something l really wanted, said Tom. Wrestling 5 W UP FOR THE GOAL.

This year's team was one of the tallest ever at Blue Springs. Their ability on the court also excelled in the season. Special recognition went to seniors Ray lrvin and Tom Quick. lrvin made the all-conference team, all area team and all state team this year. Quick made all conference also. Senior Carl ' discover strength in height l Hernandez and junior Kevin Spartz were recognized with honorable men- tion for the all-conference team. Winning the Blue Springs and Wil- liam Jewell tournaments was a very big turning point in the Cat's season. It was one of the highlights of the season for them. Although losing to Winne- tonka in conference and Van Horn in district, the Cats still had a winning season with a 20-5 record. lfiiwgb g slr ff Junior Mike Faeth was the Cat's freethrow percent leader. Senior Flay lrvin had the leading field goal and re- bound percentage for the Cats. Paul Somogye was voted the out- standing defensive player of the year and Senior Scott Knoche, the most in- spirational by Blue Springs High School coaches.

This year's team showed more de- sire and determination to be success- ful, it was very enjoyable to coach them, commented Coach J.W. Dai- ley. This was a improvement from the 1980 record of 9-7.

Coach Bill Shalley felt the improvements that were made in workouts and the spirit and communi- cation going on within the team attrib- uted to the teams success. Special recognition was given to members of the team when All-Confer- ence players were chosen. Dawna Johnson, sophomore, Kelly Cox, fresh- man: Cathy Washburn, junior, Marcia Bray, freshman, Natalie Bomito, soph- omore, Barb Green, sophomore, and Jenny Purtymun, sophomore, were named on the All-Conference Team. ' Jody Schneider and Diana Bader re- ceived honorable mention. There were six school records set by the 1981-82 girls swim team. Lauri White had two of those: 11 dives, 329.20 and 6 dives, 186.45 Tomi Bob- erts also set two records: 500 frees- tyle, 5:42.82 and 100 Breastroke, 1:16.16 The other two records were set by Dawna Johnson and Kelly Cox, 200 Freestyle 2:07.18 and 50 Freestyle 27.01, respectfully. The 23-member-squad came out on top in 9 of 12 meets with a total of 1521 points. They became conference champs with 315 points. And finally the girls placed 24th in the State meet. . -.'A 1' 'U . Glrl swlmmers take conference Baseball team completes ' their best winning season 1 l The BSHS baseball team completed its best season in 1982, with an overall record of 16 wins and three lossesg and a conference record of 7-1. Coach Brad Mayfield attributed his success to strong pitching, timely hitting and a su- per team attitude combined with tal- ent. Mayfield wasn't the only person who thought his team was talented. Six of his eighteen players were named to the Big Six and Conference teams. First team was Chris Egelston, pitcher, and Paul Somogye, short stop. Second teams were Tim Berry, catcher, Chris Egelston, first base: Scott Knoche, second baseg Greg Far- ris, outfieldg and Tim Berry, designated f 1 . 1 hitter. Bub Jackson received an honor- able mention at the outfield position. Chris Egelston also broke his won school record during the season by pitching the Cats to eight victories. This was three more than his record set in 1981. Although it was a good year for the Wildcats, they felt it could have been better. Mayfield and his team found themselves in the district finals with the Truman Patriots. Chris Egleston pitched a no-hitter but still came out on the short end at the end of the game. Mayfield felt his two assistant coaches - Jim Moran and Mike Brown did a fantastic job in leading the Cats to a winning season.

You meet a lot more people than those in the stands, they couldn't know them all, said Lori Comstock, senior. Lori served as captain of the squad during football season. Kim Whittelsey, junior served as captain during basket- ball season. With the rowdies more active this year, the girls had some competition. But they didn't mind it said Lori. They like to get them involved. They start a if t txt lot of cheers, we follow, said Lori. They also set themes for the different games. The girls had wanted yell lead- ers before but they never were started. The only problems with the rowdies was they might get out of control. The boys varsity squad attended all home and away games for the junior varsity and varsity players in basketball and football. The squad was chosen from junior and senior girls who tried out for it. Their sponsor was Miss Tra- cey Creech. In the summer the girls attended the National Cheerleading Association iff 3 1 li Camp at Baker University. They learned cheers there and competed with squads from other schools. They won the spirit stick two times out of tour as well as three blue ribbons, one red ribbon and they were chosen as one of the top five squads at camp. Besides cheering at the games the girls also decorated the guys lockers, brought them cookies, and gave them Christmas stockings. They had several dinners with them, one was a taco din- ner and another was a pancake dinner.

Besides the boys varsity squad the two other squads were structured in this way: Girls varsity squad cheered for the girls' junior varsity and varsity basketball and volleyball teams at home and away games. This squad was open to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Miss Virginia Bateman was the sponsor. The Homesquad covered the home varsity teams in wrestling, soccer, track, swimming and cross country. It was open to sophomore, junior or sen- ior girls, Mrs. Janet Shull was their sponsor. The girls varsity squad attended the six day Dynamic Cheerleading Associ- 248 Homesquad!Girls Varsity Cheerleaders 2 ation camp in Warrensburg, Mo. They received several ribbons and awards there. The homesquad attended the Na- tional Cheerleading Association camp at Baker University. They received three red ribbons, one blue and the spirit stick once. The girls had to pay their own way to these camps but they had car washes to help pay for it. The camps were supervised by college cheerleaders who shared their rou- tines. Both squads met during seventh hour to practice and received one PE credit for participating for the whole year. This helped the squads to do a better job said Sabrina Hedges, mem- ber of girls varsity. The girls had no transportation problems or job con- ! ,rf- ., X. 5.5 Q is I , flicts that they would have if they were trying to practice after school alone. The girls varsity squad had Shawn Ulmer, sophomore, as the overall squad captain but they also had week- ly captains to work on routines. You have to be serious at practice though. You'll sit every day and talk it you don't said Sabrina. She said she had to be mean to get things accom- plished. You'll appreciate it later, she said.

I Drill team dances to the music lt's a sense of accomplishment tak- ing eight young girls on the squad- sophomores and making more of it than in years before, said Sara McDill, co-captain for the drill team. We have a saying, she said, no pain, no gain. As much as the 20-member squad has gained, they must have done a great deal of work to get there. The work began in summer at the Super Star Drill Team camp in Spring- field, Mo. At camp the girls split up into groups where they learned routines to share with the squad as a whole later on. The squad came back to Blue Springs with 40 routines to choose from for the year, a spirit pom, and a sweepstakes trophy. From there the work was only begin- ning. The girls had the Fiose Bowl Pa- rade ahead of them. They were the first drill team to appear in the Bose Bowl Parade. The team worked with march- ing band every Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-9 p.m. as well as in class during seventh hour. The drill team learned the same marching steps as the band. But, they also learned to be a precision drill team that was continually striving for perfec- tion. When the Bose Bowl was over the drill team had still more performances ahead of it. The girls perform at most special assemblies and all homevarsi- ty basketball games. These performances are the crowd pleasers. The punk dance and At the 9 Hop were Sara's favorites. She liked it when the crowd was able to get in- volved. You can put a mask on and act like it isn't you, a nerd from the 5O's, not Sara McDill, she said. Whatever the performance, the crowd waited to see what new ideas the girls had included in their routine. Whether the routine included cowboys or punk rockers. Somehow the girls pulled it off trans- porting their audiences to a different setting for a moment. lt's a feeling of togetherness when 20 people get to- gether and still get along at the end of the year, you've done something right, Sara said.

The Cadence reflects in pictures and copy the year's events and records, the classes, departments, clubs and activities of the school. Views expressed in the book are those of the Cadence staff, except opinions expressed in direct quotes are those of the person to who they are attributed. The opinions are not those of the adviser, the administration or the board of education. We reserve the right to determine the appropriateness of quotes, copy, art or photos for publication and will deny publication of any material deemed libelous, disruptive or ob- scene. We will hold no person or group up to public ridicule through copy or photos and reserve the right to take a stand on controversial issues. The 1200 copies of the 1981-1982 Campus Cadence yearbook were pub- lished by Josten's American Yearbook Co. located in Topeka, Kansas. Mr. Ed Villwock, company represen- tative, helped in making major deci- sions about the book. The staff chose as their headline type, Souvenir Bold, their copy and caption type, Helvetica, and for their cover and division pages, Chalk. The artwork on the cover, divi- sion pages and closing were done by a Josten's Amrican Yearbook artist. Special thanks goes to Miss Kim Alexander's Senior English class, the Blue Springs Examinen TOm Dickson, the Campus Crier, Mr. Russell Foust of Flolland Studios, Eugene Phillips, Troy Wickman, Tim Berry and the many teachers and students who patiently answered numerous surveys. , .

Proposition C is a 1 cent sales tax brought to the Novem- ber ballot by the Missouri State Teachers Association to help schools generate revenues. Half of the revenues created by the tax will go toward the funding of a property tax roll back, while the other 50 percent will be giv- en to the Missouri school sys- tem. As a result of the 5 percent reduction of school funding in this state, Proposition C could help balance out the losses for the schools. The Blue Springs school district will be receiving approximately S413,000 less than its normal aid because of the state cut Gov. Bond issued Mon., Oct. 4. If Proposition C is passed, the district will receive a certain percentage of the sales tax revenues. It's crazy man, said BSHS principal Dr. Robert Blaine, 'Tm telling you it's cra- zy aa If Proposition C is not passed, Blue Springs may not be one of the hardest hit school districts because of its large size, but changes will be made in various departments. The athletics department will see some changes in the near future. The department's budget for this year came to 833,000 A five percent cut could mean less equipment for the various sports teams. It is al- ready in consideration that trips for the wrestling and bas- ketball teams may be cancelled. Concerning music, the band was invited to perform at the Blue Springs vs. Rockhurst foot- ball game Oct. 15 but the Board of Education turned it down. Another example is the A Cap- pella Choir. They have request- ed new robes, but may not get them. Finally, future school mu- sicals and plays may require smaller casts to cut down on costume costs. But these are only a few examples of cuts that may be necessary. I don't think we will lose i No. October 29, 1982 Blue SP1'iI18'S High School 2000 W Ashton Volume Driving in Blue Springs by Debbie Ring Driving is a necessity for many people. But it can also be a tragedy if not taken seriously. The age of a person makes no difference when injured in an cidents there were a total of 10 injuries. What are the reasons for these accidents? Mostly they are caused by careless and heed- less driving and drivers inat- ective enforcement is when many accidents have happened in a certain place so the police try to improve the situation by monitoring it closer. This helps decrease the accidents and find any teachers, said Dr. Blaine. Eventually there will be larger classes and it will affect you as a student. I'm not saying it will happen, it could happen. Be- cause there will be approximate- ly 700 new sophomores attend- ing Blue Springs High School next year, furniture may be- come a problem. Those stu- dents who have to sit in a brok- en chair, will just have to sit in that broken chair or else sit on the floor, Dr. Blaine said. If it CProposition CJ doesn't pass, no activities will be com- pletely cut. We'll just trim a bit off of each one,', said Dr. Den- nis Littrell, principal in charge of activity budgeting. He said that each program would be cut equally. If it does pass, we're looking at everything just going as normal. Those people who are against Proposition C may be afraid of the sales tax or may not understand what it is and how it may help. lt is not un- common for people not to know, said Dr. Littrell. The people who are going to vote for it understand that Missouri Schools are in trouble and need help. Dr. Littrell said that he is cautiously optimistic about the whole situation and feels it could pass because of the num- ber of Missourians concerned with education. I feel like the majority of people are in favor of it and the people who are for it are going to have to get out and vote, he said. :.... een. 373.778 C159 1982 Campus Cadence. f H L, ,. 17.50. 3 000012105334 6 October 29, 1982 spam Wildcats challenge Park ill by Romm Jackson Blue Springs held Park Hill to a deadlock game for nearly three quarters before the Tro- jans pulled ahead, scoring a touchdown. After that, the Wild- cats had trouble moving the ball and two interceptions stalled the Cats comeback attempts. The Wildcats took an early lead when they drove the ball 75 yards for a touchdown on their first possession. Several key plays sustained the Blue Springs drive including an 11 yard pass from quarterback Brett Whetstone to Craig Snyd- er and a 10 yard run by Brett Link. Another important first down came on a fourth and inches attempt by the Cats. A long count by Whetstone caused a Park Hill lineman to jump early giving the Wildcats a five yard penalty advantage and the first down. Once inside the 10, Rick Nixon powered the ball to inch- es from the goal line. Brett Link then pushed the ball across the line into the endzone giving Blue Springs a 6-0 advantage. Troy Cooke followed with the extra point giving the Cats the seven point lead. Park Hill then manufac- tured a drive of their own. The Trojans had the ball at the 24 yard line following the Wildcat kickoff. Sixteen plays later, Park Hill scored a touchdown. The Cats could not get rol- ling after receiving the kickoff and were forced to punt. The Trojans put together another drive and took a 14-7 lead. With the momentum shift- ing Park Hills way, Fred Brown intercepted a Trojan pass and ran the ball in from the 42-yard line. Cooke added the extra point and tied the game at 14. Park Hill took the ball fol- lowing the Blue Springs kickoff only to be stopped by the Cat defense. As the Trojan quarter- back dropped back to pass, Dan- ny Williams broke through the offensive line and jarred the ball from the quarterbackls hands. Dan Bresnahan recover- ed the fumble giving the Wild- cats excellent field position. Two runs by Rick Nixon and a 13-yard pass reception by Dave Polich brought the ball to the 10. Time expired before Blue Springs could capitalize on the fumble and the half ended in a tie. The third quarter of the game turned into a defensive struggle. Blue Springs did move the ball to the Trojan 26 yard line when Park Hill recovered a Wildcat fumble ending the drive. The Trojans took the ball and scored on the drive that fol- lowed. The Cats then had an op- -portunity to get back into the game. Mike Connor, who had two unassisted and five assist- ed tackles, recovered a Park Hill fumble on the Trojan 26 yard line. The attempt to score ended when a pass was intercepted on the five. Two plays after the inter- ception, Park Hill broke lose for a 91-yard touchdown run. The point after touchdown was good and Park Hill led 28-14. The Cats could not score again and lost their sixth game this year, The Wildcat defensive unit had several standouts against the Trojans. Fred Brown had 4 unassisted and as many assist- ed tackles to go along with his interception. Danny Williams finished the game with a sack, two unassisted and eight assist- ed tackles. Dan Bresnahan plagued the Trojans with three unassisted and nine assisted tackles. He also recovered the Park Hill fumble. Brian McCrae had two unassisted tackles to accompany his six assisted ones. Ernie Hodges had eight assisted tackles in the game. Heinkings running toward 3031 of State by Pam Fike of running, is Steve's satisfac- and Marcia Zeller tion in running.

Natalie enjoys nature runs and her goal for the season is to reach state competition. After graduation, she plans to attend college and study to be either a general practitioner or a sports doctor. Even though most of her time will be spent studying, she would like to con- tinue running to keep in shape. Second in age of the Heink- ing runners is Steve. He runs in the range of second to fourth person on the boys' cross coun- try team. He too would like to attend the state competition and plans to run his senior year.

But it can also be a tragedy if not taken seriously. The age of a person makes no difference when injured in an auto accident. There have been 687 acci- dents in Blue Springs from Jan. 1, 1982 to Oct. 15, 1982. Five hundred of the auto accidents were on the street and 187 were on private property. Out of the 687 accidents there were 127 in- juries, no fatalities in the past two years. ln the month of Sep- tember, there were 75 overall accidents including street and private property. Among the ac- injuries. What are the reasons for these accidents? Mostly they are caused by careless and heed- less driving and drivers inat- tention. Most' accidents in Blue Springs occur from 6 a.m.-8 a.m., and from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. Those who are approximately 18-25 years of age are most like- ly to be involved in these acci- dents. There has been a decrease in the total amount of accidents from last year. The police de- partment feels it is due to the expanded traffic enforcement and selective enforcement. Sel- Less struggling by Merilee Perrin and Michael Bruckner Standardized tests are no longer the mind-draining expe- rience that they have been in the past, now students are pre- paring and becoming more con- fident about taking them. To prepare for these tests a student can 1. take part in the academic curriculum plan at the school 2. study books that have been published on these tests 3. attend workshops 4. watch films about the tests and 5. take the pre-tests that are given in the classrooms. The purpose of these tests is to help students, high schools, colleges, universities and .si x ' XsllHl..l !x' 'WU Yxvlxm LM Na larship agencies a chance to measure academic achievement with 'post secondary planning. Although the SAT and ACT are used for the same purposes, they are different in their for- mat. The ACT consists of three parts. They are: student profile, biographical data, interest of educational development, Eng- lish, math, science, and social studies. The SAT tests only verbal and math abilities. It puts more emphasis on verbal skills be- cause that score doubles -and the math score stays as it is. The test that allows a stu- many accidents have happened in a certain place so the police try tp ixriprqve the situation by monitoring it closer. This helps decrease the accidents and find why they are occuring there. In the future we expect to ex- pand enforcements, get stricter and to start hitting traffic in- stallations heavier, Officer Lee Harmon of the Blue Springs Po- lice Department said. He also said that the Driver's Education program is helping younger peo- ple of Blue Springs to drive bet- ter with more caution. This makes better drivers in the fu- ture. for test scholar is the PSAT. It is very much like the SAT, as it tests the verbal and math abilities also. Of the four subjects on these tests, BSHS students seem to have the most trouble with math. The reason behind this is that college-bound students in particular are not taking enough math. For the 1981-82 school year, the average composite score for the Blue Springs students was 18.9. The trend of the scores for BSHS is rising and it is above the state and national average.
