With the split of over half the population going to the school “up North, ”students had to pull together and show that they could make it as a smaller school. Well, you know what? They did it. They formed clubs and got caught up with school pride and spirit. The athletes at Blue Valley finished strong in the league this year, while the drama department put on great, well-directed plays. The spirit and enthusiasm was by far the greatest improvement at BV all year long. The students cared for one another and took great pride in the school. Blue Valley came to be known as the “Classic” school as well as picking up the names; BV South, the Hick School, Blue Valley Tractor, etc But even with all the name calling, BV students showed great pride in their school and the administration. They carried out some old traditions, yet they made some new ones, too. The student body took on a studious atmosphere throughout the year. They took their grades seriously and they wanted to achieve academic goals set by the faculty and peers. Yet, they always took every opportunity to have fun and socialize. With pep assemblies held quite regularly, It was an opportunity to show their support and spirit. A new element was added to the students’ daily lives — homeroom. It was not the great success they had hoped, but it was another way to socialize with their friends. Even with the split, Blue Valley Students showed that they could make It and have fun at the same time. So, let’s “Catch the Wave” back to the 1986-87 “classic” school year that they enjoyed. Opening 5 §¥IJDENI 1111 “Catching the wave” of teenage life is easy all over the world. Who says one can’t attend a small high school like Blue Valley and Still have fun? From wild weekends to simple fashions, from tropical vacations to supporting school teams, students at BV in 1987 were just like everyone else. One way to tell was by style — the “in” fashions included Guess?, Levi’s, Reebok and Outback Red, not to mention long hairstyles for girls and “The Boz” for guys. Conservative dress was tossed to the wind come spirit week when students donned the designated outfit for each day to show their team support. Man spent Friday nights at BV for games, dances or plays when not shopping, working or good old-fashionec partying! Perhaps the best part of school was not going tc school — that is to say, going on vacations. Popula spots in ’87 included (of course!) warm beaches ant ski resorts in Colorado. Others went “home for th holidays” to visit old friends and family. Keeping busy from August through May, Blue Val ley Tigers “caught the wave” of student life. Are Blue Valley High School students’ attitudes about school spirit really “Born to be Wild”? Spirit Week, beginning Oct. 13, showed that students were actively involved in school activities. A large percentage of students dressed out in college shirts, boxer shorts, army clothes, Hawaiian outfits and black and gold to show their enthusiasm for the Homecoming game. Thursday’s powder puff junior and senior football teams were combined witl Blue Valley North, and the game ende up in a tie. The guys’ drill team pei formed at halftime during the powde puff game to the music of “Walk Thi Way, by Run DMC. Many BV students felt good about T ger spirit. Debi White, senior, said, “We have lot of spirit in our school because of th involvement in activities.” Jan Vandree's homeroom won the door decorating competition in the 200's hall during Spirit Week. Trevor Emerson, senior, takes part in Spirit Week activities by wearing his army clothes on Tuesday. Debi White, senior, said, We have a lot of spirit in our school because of the involvement in activities.

What cars do we want to use? These were questions faced by members of Student Council as they began to organize the Homecoming activities with Blue Valley North. It was a lot of work, but I’d do it again,” said Kristin Clark, senior. The work began with weeks of planning that started to pay off during spirit week and the traditional carnation sales. This year’s sale had one difference; the carnations could be sent to North, as many were. Thursday night the senior and the junior powder puff football teams met in fierce competition with combined forces of both schools. Half-time entertainment was provided by the Senior class all-male drill team. The game ended in a tie, 12-12. Twice the royalty was crowned during halftime of Friday night’s game against Ottawa. The Tigers were victorious over the Cyclones, 29-12. The dance was held in the commons of Blue Valley North the following night, carrying the theme, The Stars Are Out Tonight.” The band, Altered States, played music as couples danced or sat talking with friends. When the band took its break, the Homecoming kings were crowned. The big turnout and formal dress only added to a special night,” said Kim Dewey, junior, who attended the dance.

It’s 2:45 m. on a Friday — the long awaited jekend hours of freedom have finally rived. “Hey Tom! Meet me at QT at seven d then we can go to the game!” shouts student across the parking lot. Many students go home Friday afterton to get ready to go out that evening, lether it be for a date or for a school me and then out to eat. As for the rest of the weekend, many jdents work or go shopping at the malls i Saturday, then find themselves at a :ld party or a movie that night, staying it until the early hours of Sunday morn-3. Then, as typical BV students do, they ep into Sunday afternoon, waking up do homework in preparation for the sumption of classes on Monday. nlors Phil Dunn and Wayne Batson put their sds together and have a good time at a hotel Many students spend their weekends during the Fall watching the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Graves and many other students from Blue Valley spent their time away from school traveling. The most common vacations, aside from visiting relatives, included skiing in the Colorado Rockies or hitting the beaches of Florida or California. Students willing to risk the threats of terrorist attack left the United States for Europe, Mexico and sunny tropical islands. One such trip was taken by members of the band who joined the “Tour de Force”, seeing the sights of Europe during the summer of ’86. As students were getting away and seeing new places, others were going back to visit friends and family. This was a common trip for students who had recently moved to the Kansas City area. “It was hard to get up in the morning when the warm weather and sandy beaches were replaced by dreary halls and mountains of homework,” said Graves about her return to school. During a summer trip to California, memb of Young Life relaxed on the beach.

It was a tough job to try and follow th 1986 blowout, “Wizard of Oz,” but determined cast and crew produced th musical success, “Hello Dolly,” runnin from Jan. 29 through Jan. 31. The plot of “Hello Dolly” center around the widow Dolly Levi, portraye by Kristen Kissee. Through devious mec sures, she tries to match couples t gether, and they all end up getting mai ried. Dolly herself gets married to one c her matchmaking prospects, Horae Vandergelder (Willie Brown). A first-time director at Blue Valley, vc cal music teacher Ms. Marsha Moelle said, “I was pleased with the perfor mance and I enjoyed working with sue an enthusiastic and talented cast.” The audiences were widly enthusiasti toward all the exceptional scenes in th musical; however, the “Waiter’s Gallop in the Harmonia Gardens restaurant wa a special favorite of the crowd.

Sweetheart 23 GOVERNMENT- Student Style “StuCo allows us to represent and express the opinions of fellow students and make changes to their benefit,” said Erin Kelly, sophomore class representative. The smaller school brought with it more interest in Student Council, as well as new sponsors. Stuart Phipps and Marge Hill. Under their direction, StuCo successfully put together Homecoming and Sweetheart activities and the Holiday dance. The group’s contributions to the school included having a flag designed to fly in front of the building for the first time. Members also improved their skills at many leadership conferences. In student exchanges they visited a variety of schools and hosted their counterparts while gaining new ideas and insights toward the school. Feeling the needs of the community, they sponsored a canned food drive during the winter months and the annual blood drive in the spring. By listening to the needs of classmates and working hard, StuCo made the 1986-87 school year memorable in both community service and school activities. Blue Valley students enjoy the music at the Sweetheart dance which was organized by members of Student Council. Student Council SluCo Officers: Vice President; J. Campbell; President A.

Their new sponsor, Bill Davis, contributed greatly to these achievements. Hours of research, which began in August, started to pay off in weekend tournaments as both novice and advanced students took sides in resolving that: The Federal Government should implement a comprehensive agricultural policy in the United States. “Debate has give me the ability to think on my feet and communicate my thoughts and ideas to individuals,“said senior Greg Hughes who, with his partner, Brian Blankenship, took third place in regionals, but did not go to state. Whether in interpretive acting or extemporaneous speaking, the novice and advance Forensics squads also kept busy in weekend tournaments during the spring. Throughout the semester the members continued to improve their speaking skills.

However, how hard have students actually been working in order to receive this type of credit? Charisma Lo. senior, said. “I’m working hard to get on the honor roll so my insurance (rates) will go down.” There is less motivation in the senior year to do homework that probably has no bearing on the rest of your life,” said Mike Austin, senior. The actual amount of time spent on homework each night varies. While walking through the halls of the high school, it is common to see groups of students gathering on the floor by their lockers at 7:51 a.m. working on last minute homework. Nor is it a surprise to find that school textbooks have been left in cars over the weekend, untouched. And, taking a look at students at home studying, they’ll often be found concentrating on their studies with a stereo blasting, a T.V. displaying “The Cosby Show,” or a bo of popcorn around ready to be munchc These examples may be routine f some teenagers, but there are others wl look upon homework very seriously. “I wouldn’t be able to understand if didn’t do my homework,” senior Diar Sheehy said. Many students spend at least tv hours on homework every night. Tl amount of time spent on homework m not correlate, though. Senior Tom Swortwood said, ‘‘Mo classes require too much homework, b some don’t have enough.” How or why BV students study to o tain good grades may not be pertine because it certainly shows that Blue V ley’s academic record ranks high in tl nation. When asked about his homework ai study habits, junior Tony Birch said, “It hard to answer because I am not intere ed in studying.” Mary Carroll, sophomore, studies while listening her Walkman. 28 Study Habits Study Habits 29 §ENICR§ The Blue Valley High School Senior Class of 1987 definitely “caught the wave” of senior pride and achievement this year. Dubbed as BV’s “CLASSIC” class, these special people exemplified the exact attitude that the whole school tried to attain. Although the school split affected them more than any other group, the seniors were optimistic about the school year, viewing it as a challenge rather than a defeat. The Class of ’87 worked with what they had for the present and also created new traditions for the future. They organized senior tailgate parties and also started a senior lounge. Previously know as “Mobile 1”, the senior lounge was their response to the lack of open lunch. School morale was at a vulnerable point in the fa of the ’86-87 year with over half the student popuU tion gone. The seniors bridged the gap by voting for combined BV-BVN prom and a joint senior sectio in both yearbooks. They chose realistic goals, bu also realized that BV needed a separate identity Through a great deal of senior guidance, BV not onl survived the time, but also had an increase in schoc pride and spirit. Thanks to an excellent senior mode to pattern themselves after, the junior, sophomore and freshmen have a sound foundation to suppor them long after the Class of 1987 has left Blu Valley. 87 Rules Classic Class is ‘tough to follow9 ’87 Rules. Classic. The Real Thing were the mottos of the class of 1987. This class was split for a second time upon the completion of Blue Valley North High School. The first time they were split was in seventh grade. The Seniors of Blue Valley strove to earn the right to a Senior Lounge. During lunch, seniors enjoyed listening to their favorite songs on the stereo that was purchased by the Senior Class. They liked school so much that they stayed in the school all night for a Senior Lock-In on Oct. 10. Dancing, swimming, volleyball and a decathlon were some of the activities they participated in. The Senior Class officers were Traci Keller, secretary: Dirk Katstra, president; Jenny Pitcher, president; and Brett Hersma, treasurer. “They had great pride in themselves, their class, their school and their accomplishments. ” Nancy Kissel, class sponsor described the class: ‘‘The class of 1987 was an outstanding one. They provided the positive leadership that Blue Valley High School needed. They had great pride in themselves, their class, their school and their accomplishments. I was very glad to have been a part of their years at BVHS. They will definitely be a ‘tough act to follow’.” The seniors from Blue Valley and Blue Valley North made efforts to stay together as a class, even though they went to different schools. The seniors chose to have a joint senior section, so they were combined in this yearbook. Seniors cheer on «i victory for Blue Valley against Olathe North at Olathe district stadium.

Moolah Seniors anticipate graduation, careers A greater part of a senior’s year was spent taking senior pictures, anticipating graduation and planning one’s own career. All of these were expensive and time-consuming activities. DeCloud Studio took the senior pictures. DeCloud scheduled each appointment for every senior. Pictures were not cheap; they ran anywhere from $30 to $80. Graduation hung in many senior minds. April Nootcboom explained, “I’ve been waiting to get out of school for 13 years and it’s finally here. Graduation, I can’t wait. I am excited.’’ There were announcements to be ordered. The Senior Class had to decide on what colors they wanted to graduate in as a class. Passing the necessary classes worried some. “I’ve been waiting to get out of school for thirteen years and it s finally here. Graduation, I can’t wait. I am excited Planning a career was the most time-consuming activity to the seniors. Also, it was probably the most enjoyed. Getting out of class to talk with a college representative, taking road trips to different colleges and attending career days were a few of the more fun parts of planning a career. Deciding on what one would do after high school was not an easy decision for most. Applications, resumes and financial aid forms had to be filled out. SAT and ACT scores troubled some. Scholarships interested many due to the rising cost of an education. Seniors pass the water balloon at the New Student picnic on Aug. 20 at Heritage Park in Olathe. Seniors 49 lNCfICl4SS f4CUIIT Determined to “catch the wave”of spirit and tradition in the ’86-87 school year, Blue Valley students succeeded in making it a year to remember. Between classes, extra-curricular activities and sports, students and faculty spent a great deal of time together. With a smaller school we were able to make new friends with transferred students and also rekindle old relationships with people we had known since second grade. Moreover, “quality” friends became more important than “quantity” acquaintances. Because of their reduced size, classes were more interesting this year. Students looked forward to go ing to classes where they received more one-on-on help from the teachers. BV also started the traditior of Homeroom between second and third hours. 1 was an effective way for people to develop a close relationship with their homeroom teachers, as well a meet new people. A student population reduced from 1,450 to 65( did not simply survive the difficult transition year; i joined together to make the year one of the best ii BV history.

Some of the more popular places to work were J.J. Tippins restaurant and shops in both Oak Park and Metcalf malls. Juniors Stacey Larson, Wendy Wolf, Karen Anderson and Susan Caso all worked at Tippins. All of the girls really enjoyed their jobs. Caso said, “It’s a great way to pick up guys”. As waitresses at Tippins the girls averaged about $50 per night in tips plus an hourly wage. The money they earned was either put in the bank or spent on clothes according to Caso. Working at the Copper Oven were Alan Huber, Tracy Thayer, Jodi Zurlein, Amy McKuen and Belinda Bellet. They were also waitresses, except for Huber who was a cook. The money was also good. Their salaries averaged between $2 to $2.50 an hour and $40 per night in tips. According to Thayer, her main objective for working was to buy a car and pay it off. Zurlein and some of the other girls used their jobs for extra money to buy clothes. hr Because she work evening at Tippins. Junior Susan Caso utilises her spare lime to study.

He made his presence known at Eootball and basketball games and pep rallies. His role as the Cowardly Lion in last year’s musical, ‘‘The Wizard of Oz,” qualified him to be the Tiger. Brown enjoyed playing the role of the Tiger despite the fact that it got “real hot” and “sweaty” in the Tiger suit. Some of the advantages of being the Tiger were taking long ■oad trips with the varsity cheerleaders,” smiled Brown.

Harris has played the piano sine he was three years old. His greatej moment was his performance at th Uptown Theater at the age of 10 Harris has taken only a few let sons in his 13 years of playing th piano. His natural ability has lead t his success. Harris has also learne how to play the cello, organ an synthesizer. He has performed a many weddings and vocal concert at churches. Harris enjoys playin contemporary music. “Rhapsody i Blue” and Twelve Street Rag” b Gershwin are two of his favorit songs. Since his freshman year, Harri has devoted at least two or mor hours per day toward his music ce reer. Harris also contributes tim after school to help with musical and local theater groups.

Junior Cash Haggadone put a twist of originality into the ‘86-87 school yea 62 Juniors Cash creates his own style “I’m normal. Everyone else is weird.” This was how Cash Haggadone felt about the students at Blue Valley. The safety pin, two hoops and cubic zirconia diamond served as earrings that dangled from his left ear. The green sweater, which by the way he thought was an “ugly color,” was worn daily. His unique hairstyle and zest for originality were all that made up Cash Haggadone. Haggadone was a non conformist to Blue Valley social groups. He said that he had a unique ability to change and to be different from everyone else. Haggadone had a wide variety of interests that filled his time like hair shows for a hair cutting firm named Looks Avant “I’m normal. Everyone else is weird. ” Garde. Cash also enjoyed listening to music from such groups as “Alphauille” and the “Loverspeaks.” Cash liked technical pop. He was not new wave or punk. The “Extreme” was the name of Cash’s band. When asked what he would be doing 10 years from now, Cash said that he would be famous with his band. Cash said that people did not like him because they did not know him. When looking back at the 1987 school year everyone will remember the unpredictable Cash Haggadone. Perhaps Cash said it best: “Everyone who sees me is affected by me; they either want to be like me or they want to get as far away from me as they can.” Shannon Wolf Wendy Wolff Sherrill Young Jodi Zuerlein Juniors 63 Q J2 [Pi cfcf 66 Debbie Alvers Courtney Ammon Lynda Armcr Fred Arneson Mike Arpin Anne Badcrtscher Wendy Barrett Elana Beiser David Bennett Mark Bilski Kelly Bradin Monique Bromley Lisa Brousscau Derek Brown Jodi Brown Greg Bruton Angie Bryan David Bryan Gordan Bunting Melanie Butler Matt Buzzard Matt Cahow Jennifer Carlson Ron Carlson Mary Carroll Sophomoric means immature “Sophomoric: A characteristic of a ophomore; intellectually pretentious but nmature.” This is the definition found in Vebster’s dictionary.

We do a lot of socializ-ng and a lot of socializing.” During the 1986-1987 school year, young Life went on many vacations. In ecent years, they went on ski trips to places such as Colorado. They also went n a vacation to California. Young Life met once a week on Mondays. The meetings were held at a differ-;nt student’s house every week.

With more freedom, interesting classes jnd new friends, students should be hav-ng the time of their lives. However, most freshmen will be quick to say differently. One major part of high school is driv-ng, but driving is not granted to freshmen at Blue Valley, although most turn 14 Juring the year and qualify for a restricted license. Another privilege future high school students look forward to is working, but not as many freshmen as expected have Of the freshmen asked, less than 18 were employed; the remaining students complained of age discrimination. ‘‘More freedom” may be the most desired part of growing older, but as teenagers enter high school, they often find freedom hard to come by. Because they make new and older friends, driving becomes an issue. Said Bonnie Dechant about parents; ‘‘They’re worse because they don’t know the people driving.” Does the good outweigh the bad? If not, there’s still a positive side — things can only get better! Bonnie Dechant flashes a smile as she heads out of the lunch line and into the Commons for yet another exciting meal. Freshmen in the Commons question each other about what it might be they've just eaten for lunch.

Most jump at the chance to drive or ride to school with a friend. 80 Freshmen Wheels on the bus go round “The wheels on the bus go round and ound, round and round, round and ound. The wheels on the bus go round nd round, all through the town.” The words to this children's song may ound exciting to elementary students, ut to most high schoolers, riding a school u$ is not something to look forward to. 'he first people to volunteer this informa-ion may be the freshmen at Blue Valley High School. “It’s like a 45-minute ride,” complains Tara Nott. Other discomforts included screaming middle schoolers, weird drivers, a hassle with useless green slips, and simply “green seats,” as Brian Shapley puts it.

We’ve got spirit . .. how ’boui you?’’ This popular cheer was widely used in 1986, but perhaps it was meant most of all for Blue Valley High School’s freshmen. The class of 1990 was exceptionally full of school spirit during its first year of high school. Besides cheering and screaming at pep rallies, many dressed up for black and gold days, and during Spirit Week before Homecoming, freshmen were among the leaders in students that dressed up. The only area where freshmen could have improved seemed to be in supporting their own teams. Besides cheerleaders, not many students showed up to cheer at frosh games. “I wanna see some more spirit from the freshmen,” said Jude Carmona, frosh football player. Varsity games were more popular with the freshmen. Reasons included more exciting games, stiffer competition and more people. More guys!” said one girl (who chose to remain anonymous) with a laugh.

Another freshman, not as brave, looks on. School split OK with frosh There were three unhappy classes at Blue Valley High School in 1987 — un happy because their school had been split, their friends had gone separate ways, and their teams had been weakened. However, one class remained in high spirits: The class of 1990. Most of the freshmen were actually happy about the split — the number one reason being that the school was less crowded. Others said that, while there were a lot of nice people from Leawood, there were a lot of snobs, too. No one felt deprived about not meet ing new people. “There are a lot of older people you meet,” said one freshman. Many freshmen did claim to have a few friends at the other school. However, when asked if it would have been hard to make a choice between Blue Valley and Blue Valley North, the almost unanimous response was “no.” Tara Notl Joe Pacheco Danny Palmquist Megan Parra Evan Peters Clarence Pfannes Brian Phillips Matthew Plenert Jennifer Pogue Sean Price Christina Randall Robby Randall Christopher Reecht Brian Reno Melanie Rcnscnhouse Michael Russell David Sampson Justin Sayre Chris Schaffer Dana Scovtll Terry Shaffer Brian Shapley Nathan Sharft Stephanie Sharp Michael Sheehy Robert Shepherd Rebecca Sims Julie Smith Felicia Solis Kevin Speicrman Jennifer Dcnslow reaches for her homework and books so she can head home and get studying over with.

The for the Kansas circuit awards banquet, effort won her first place in the competition. 86 Freshmen Horses, competition are West’s interests Aaahh — it’s Friday! At last, time for a weekend of parties, friends, games, and maybe a little sleep. No pressure, no work, just plain fun. While this is how many Blue Valley High School students and other teenagers perceived the weekend,. 14-year old Monica West looked forward to barrel racing, horse shows, rodeos ... pressure, competition and fun. West has been horseback riding seriously for almost 10 years. She began at the tender age of five with a pony, then gradually stepped up until she obtained Snap, at that time a three-year-old Quarter Horse who was broke to be ridden, but nothing else. In years of dedication, West trained her own horse to barrel race, and the horse has gained a reputation — even among professional riders — as one of the fastest horses on the Kansas circuit. Although she has had many generous offers. West stresses that Snap is definitely not for sale. “Maybe next century,” she said. West owns two other horses: Royal, a 12-year-old Palomino and Footloose, a two-year old Paint filly she is currently training herself. She says the filly will probably be sold sometime next year. West shows or competes nearly every weekend, either on a Kansas circuit where she accumulates points that are totaled for a standing at the end of the year, or in the high school rodeos where she can win prizes of hundreds of dollars. For practice she rides nearly every day after school. I try,” she puts it with a grin. West stated her best accomplishment as winning the Johnson County Youth Rodeo last year, but said the times she feels the most pride is when she wins on the horse she alone trained to barrel race. Taking first on Snap is her biggest thrill. “It’s a big difference to win on a horse that somebody else has trained, because you know it’s not your true accomplish- ment,” West said. West remembered her most embarrassing moment as happening on the same night she took first in the Youth Rodeo. In a competition for the rodeo queen. West, mounted on Snap, was instructed to ride around the arena and salute the audience. Snap, who anticipated his exit at the wrong gate, tried to jump the fence, resulting in falling rails and West on the ground underneath her horse. “Neither one of us got hurt, but it was so embarrassing!” she said. However, West remounted to finish the ride and says that her first place finish later on in the evening made up for the mistake. When she’s older, West will try out again for the rodeo queen. Meanwhile, she will continue to compete under the guidance of her mother, who started her career. West’s long term goals include joining the pros and earning a college scholarship for barrel racing.

Tammy son; Bottom Row-Virginia Thomas SPCIII “Hey catch the wave!” This phrase was yelled out many times at sporting events this year to express team spirit and enthusiasm. And what a great deal to cheer about! The 1986-87 school year was one of the proudest in Blue Valley sports history. All of the fall and winter athletic teams displayed pride and determination, several of which were rewarded with wins at state competition. The combined BV-BVN Varsity Football team had an excellent 8-1 regular season. The Tigers reached State playoffs, a first for BV, but were beaten by Shawnee Mission West in an overtime game. The Volleyball team proved to be stiff competition for many area schools and the Cross Country team, with four all EKL qualifiers, was successful as well. Winter athletes saw the Tiger wrestlers dominah many of their tournaments and BV swimmers contin ued to overwhelm their competitors, consistently fin ishing with top honors at their meets. The Basketba team proved their excellence from the time the: captured the Colby Tournament trophy to thei impressive showing at state. Most notably, Tiger athletes proved that Blue Va ley still had that “winning spirit,” regardless of th-school split. As one student said, “A lot of peopl thought we wouldn’t do as well in a ‘rebuilding year especially going from 6A to 5A, but we showed tha BV is still number one.” c o K L C H A M P S Mario Washington, senior, dodges the attempted tackle by an opposing team member.

Tigers share EKL honors The 1986-87 Varsity Football team was a first for Blue Valley. The Tigers brought home more honors and awards than any other football team in the school’s history. After many years of competing in the EKL, the Tigers tied with Olathe North and Olathe South as EKL champions. The Tigers went on to state competition, but met with defeat in overtime against Shawnee Mission West. Unfortunately, this was the last time that Blue Valley will be competing in 6A class games for a while. The wins the Tigers brought home, came only with a good attitude and hard work. The Varsity team worked out alongside the JV team at “Camp Courage.” This camp was a rigorous six hours of practice each day for several days. The team also had a boost from players who attended Blue Valley North. Though a few players felt that each school should have its own team, “There were no problems. Everyone worked together to win for both schools,” said team member Mark Majors. The Tigers listen enthusiastically as Coach Rampy gives a pep talk (above). The Tigers line up against Olathe South.

The Thursday, Friday and Saturday before school started, players put in more than six hours of practice each day. The camp emphasized learning plays and doing lots of drills. Weight training and plenty of running exercise was also on the agenda. Weight training was just a routine for the players, as they worked out four days a week all summer. The JV team spent much of the time working out with th Varsity team. With a more advanced weight progran than in the past, “the team had a bette opportunity to win, said JV team mem ber Mike Arpin.

With a 20-6 season and a victory at substate, they realized their dreams. “The teams goal was to go to state. We accomplished that, but we had some bad luck. We lost by two points,” said Joleen Kirkpatrick, team member. Their coach, Dena Dellasega, who coached at Turner High School during the 1985 season, coached the team to a winning season. The team took first place at sub state beating Chanute and placed second in the EKL behind Miege. The team consisted of two seniors, Joleen Kirkpatrick and Diane Sheehy, both of which were co-captains, and five juniors. The team also had one sophomore. “The team improved a lot from last year,” said Kirkpatrick.

However, had the season lasted longer it may have turned out brighter for the JV team. “The girls were really beginning to show their potential (toward the end of the season),” said coach Cindy Klug. Klug went on to say that since “there will be so many girls returning next year, the team will be excellent,” if the girls can pick up where they left off this season. Two girls to watch, who may be lost to the Varsity team next year, are Christy Robinson and Michelle Weisenborn. “They really provided a backbone for the team4” Klug said. Robinson had excellent skills for setting, while Weisborn showed her talent for serving. Even if these two players are lost to another team, this year provided a foundation for next year’s squad.

Junior Varsity Freshmcn Volleyball 105 Tiger cross country goes to state competitio With coach Harry McDonald guiding the way, the Tiger Cross Country team closed the books on yet another successful season. Improvement appeared to be the underlying drive for the team. Runners kept a log of their eating and sleeping habits, as well as the distance ran during each practice. These logs apparently satisfied the goal. Manager Jill Boothby said that the new system worked very well and that the “team did improve considerably over last year. The team did well enough to go to state competition. The boys fell just short of the top 10, finishing eleventh, and the girls came in seventh place. Julie Single-ton, Diane Singleton and Dave Watkins won medals as individual top ten runners. Diane Singleton and Watkins were not strangers to success. They both had placed in the top 20 at state last year. Both runners consistently finished in the top of their races. Early in the season, both were featured in the Kansas City Star as two of the county’s best runners. With this experience and skill; the boys defeated 63 per cent of their opponents, and the girls went on to defeat 68 per cent of their opponents.

Clark said, “The players were out to have a good time as well as a successful season.” The Blue Valley Girls’ Golf team, “did well this year for a beginning team,” said team member Debbie Kading.

Six seniors have been kicking the ball together for several years. Their experience and ability to work with each other helped the Tigers have a winning season. “After playing together for so long, we really knew what to expect from each other and what our strong points were,” said Mike Hedgecock. The bond between Hedgecock, Daren Carney, Brian Dcveney, Gregg Sherwood, Todd Burford and Ryan Welch was clearly one of the factors in the Tigers’ success. Several games stood out in the 1986 season. When the Tigers went up against Shawnee Mission South they were down, 0-3, but made a comeback and tied the game, 4-4. The game that sparked the most controversy, was against Bishop Miege. This narrow loss was questioned by many of the players. “We’d lost before, but this game was lost only because of some bad calls,” said Hedgecock. The games that drew the largest attendance were against Blue Valley North. The Tigers defeated the Mustangs twice, but lost to them in regional competition. Many of the team members attributed the loss to the many injuries players had suffered. “We could have won it, but too many of us weren’t up for the game,” Hedgecock said.

According to Matt Huggins, JV player, there were several outstanding players that would most likely move up to the Varsity next year. The JV soccer players had an experience similiar to that of the JV Boys’ Basketball Team. The Varsity Soccer Team had done so well in their season, 10-5, it gave the JV players a goal to shoot for. “The Varsity Team put some extra pressure on us,” said Huggins.

They were expected to anchor the team during the season. That expectation was met; however, there were more than two wrestlers forming the backbone of the team. Going into the season, some wrestlers believed the team might have some problems early on. This couldn’t have been further from the truth. The team did well through the first part of the season, going into February with only two defeats. Everyone was pretty dedicated this year, said wrestler Steve Carroll. The concentrated effort of the team paid off. There may be many returning next year, but they will have a tough season to top.

Early in the season, the team knew the title was theirs. “We were pretty sure all along that we would win it,” said Steve Clamons, diver. The team was made up of swimmers from both BV and BVN. Most of the team was from BVN. Those people (like the football players) had to commute to BV everyday after school. Practice was usually held until 6 p.m., sometimes even later. There was a lot of dedication involved; everyone was pretty self-motivated,” Clamons said. Clamons was quick to point out that the coaches helped out quite a bit. Greg House from BVN coached the swimmers, and Jim Payne from BV coached the divers. Coach House was awarded Coach of the Year at the State meet. When the team left the meet, it left behind some new state records. Walter Denton set two new records — one in the 100 freestyle and the other in the 200. Denton was also part of the relay team that set a new record as well.

After these numerous accomplishments during the regular season, Blue Valley’s dream team” suffered a disappointing loss to Parsons in the State championship finals. 70-65. After leading most of the game, the Tigers led at the end of the third quarter 52-49. Parsons made a late game surge and outscored the Tigers 21-13 in the last period. Dogged by foul trouble, the Tigers couldn’t maintain their winning margin. As in most cases, success did not come without work. The team practiced for several hours after school each night, and many players practiced individually during the off season. There were even some occasions when team members met before school to work on plays. Unity among players is important for any team to succeed: the Tigers team was no different. Camaraderie was attributed to much of the teams success. “There were no ego problems; we all really worked well together,” said Scott Mansker. When the season began, the Tigers won several games. They continued to win throughout the season and became undefeated. This added extra pressure to the game. Each game was harder than the last.” Mansker continued, The other teams played much harder against us. To defeat BV would make the opposing team’s season.

Blue Valley has had its share of injuries this year and the Freshmen, Boys’ Basketball Team was no exception. The Freshmen Boys’ Team had a tough year due to injuries. Losing three players over the season made it even harder to grasp success. “We had some tough losses we could not pull out of,” said Chris Reecht, team member. Reecht, along with two other players Darren Unruh and Jason Swift, were the top scorers this season. Player and coach cooperation is a large part of a successful team. The coach and the players of this team had some close bonds, according to Reecht. The players agreed that Dick Kastra was a good and supportive coach. “We have learned a lot this year and hope to play in the future,” said Reecht, “The change from a different sports program to this one has been made easy.” The Junior Varsity Boys’ Basketball Team went up against a tough opponent this season. The game did not appear on any schedule, nor was it refereed by league officials. This game was held at practice every week. The opponent was the Varsity team. These practice games better prepared the JV roundballers for competition. The team was pretty young and got off to a slow start. However, the Varsity team was a constant reminder that victory was possible. “The Varsity team added a lot of pressure to the game,” said Chris Lucas. “It did help give us that extra push now and then.” Chris Lucas, junior, makes a shot at the basket as team members and opponents await a rebound.

Junior girls lead Varsity The Girls’ Basketball Team had an interesting makeup this season. Conspicuously absent were seniors. The team had seven juniors, five of whom played together in middle school. The attendance for the girls’ games was up. This might have been because of the final scores on the board. “Many of our games were pretty close,” said Stacy Manker. “The suspense might have helped bring in the crowd.” The wins didn’t come easy. The girls worked hard and spent much of their time on defense. The theory was that the team could always play defense if the other team got the upper hand. The girls did quite a bit of conditioning. Running was high on the practice schedule. “We really became a quick team.” Mansker added. Injuries became common place on the team. Practice was very important, as many members had to make up for lost time. “It was as though when one player was ready to comeback, another was out with an injury, Mansker said. 120 Varsity Girls' Basketball lacy Mansker puts up the ball as the opposition ttempts to block.

It was their quickness that led to a well-played season. “We were really motivated and that helped,” said team member Anne Ward. “The team stays 15 minutes later than the Varsity team at practice everyday.” Unlike many other teams this season, these girls did not have many injuries. Only one serious injury kept a member from playing. Lisa Brousseau had her arm out of the socket and it kept her from playing for the first part of the season. Team spirit and morale are also important concerns for a team. Ward said that JV coach Les Page and Varsity coach Randy Dack were encouraging influences to the teams success. “The team will probably stay the same,” said Ward., “Knowing that makes us work harder.” Molly Muehlebach goes up for a shot at the basket during a home game. 122 JV Gris' Basketball ILWJ Freshmen Girl's Basketball Team: Bottom row-T.

Before classes even began in the fall, members of the Stridin Tiger Marching Band and Tigerette Drill Team were practicing on the field. Cheerleaders spent a portion of their summer at a camp at Kansas University, preparing for their goal to bring some classic spirit back to BV. Both groups found their hard work paid off, with the band in competition ratings and the cheerleaders in a spirit award. Other busy organizations this year included SADD, which continued its campaign against drunk driving, and Peer Counselors, a group of trained students who helped others in their age group deal with problems. Similarly, the International Club aided foreign exchange students to better acquaint themselves with BV. Some students participated in activities as a way to relax, such as those enrolled in instrumental music. Others enjoyed singing in one of the five vocal music groups, while publications staffs, History Club, Categories and FRIENDS, a new anti-drug organization, were also popular groups.

Precision main goal of groups It was 7:30 a.m. and the Marching Band and Drill Team were outside marching fundamental patterns and skills in the heat of the summer. They were marching in early August before the start of school when many students were still on their summer vacations. The Band and Drill Team kept up this training after school started. They also worked outside early in the morning during school before first hour, while the rest of the student body was still at home sleeping. But all of their hard work paid off when they went to marching competitions. “It (competition) was an experience because we were able to see all the really good bands and be judged ourselves,” said Eric Thompson, sophomore. The Band and Drill Team performed at Wyandotte and Wichita where they received I ratings- the highest rating available. They also traveled to Warrensburg, Mo. where they received a II rating. After the marching season, the Drill Team prepared for the rest of their performances. The Drill Team began to prepare for the annual Drill Team Competition and the Spring Show Finale. Their routines that looked great and impressed many a person were not that easy to come by. In reality it was a struggle. The routines were choreographed by the captains and senior members of the Drill Team. The routines were then taught to the rest of the team. Many hours of hard work and sweat went into their dances to prepare for the competition and the finale. These preparations took up most of their time along with performing at halftimes at basketball games and at pep assemblies. The Marching Band and Drill Team learned something from all their work.

Along with “let’s get fired up” many other cheers were heard as the 1987 Blue Valley High School cheerleading squads led our athletes to victory. The main goal of the cheerleaders this year was to bring back some classic spirit to Blue Valley. The cheerleaders began the quest for spirit long before the school year began. Many of the cheerleaders attended a cheerleading camp at the University of Kansas. At this KU camp the girls achieved the highest award of spirit, the spirit stick.” There were three squads of cheerleaders this year — the Varsity, the Ju- “Blue Valley is a team that is easy to cheer for because we have such great athletes. nior Varsity and the Freshman Squads. The squads were led by captain Tracy Keller. Keller, who served on the cheerleading squad for four years, plans on using her cheerleading talent as she tries out for the cheerleading squad at William Jewel college next fall. Varsity cheerleader Kim Dewey felt that cheerleading was a great experience. Dewey really enjoyed working with all of the girls for a common goal — spirit. Dewey said, “Blue Valley is a team that is easy to cheer for because we have such great athletes.” The size of the cheerleading squad decreased somewhat, but the spirit grew. Sophomores Kathleen Kure and Dana Fouts cheer on the basketball team and the spectators during a time out.

Spirit promoted by popular Pack There were five seconds left in the basketball game. The Pep Club, The Pack, was yelling from The Pit-“Five Four .. Three . Two One ” Suddenly the buzzer shrilled — marking the end of the game. The Pep Club, sponsored by Cheryl Hamilton, regrouped again for another exciting year because of student response. The Pack was an organization made up of a group of students who gathered together to express school spirit. This year the club elected two chairpersons, juniors Susan Caso and Becky Overly. The club also elected a committee to meet and “Just look for wild and crazy things from us (The Pack),” said Overly. come up with new ideas on how to promote school spirit and encourage students to join. The Pack throughout the year found different and unique activities including the return of the popular “tiger” shorts, the black gold ribbons and balloons filled with helium. With the Pep Club you can always expect the unexpected. “Just look for wild and crazy things from us (The Pack), said Overly. The game ended the spectators were leaving. The Pack collected its signs and was leaving The Pit to congratulate the home team over its victory.

Too goes the flute. Eee goes the violin. These are common sounds that can be heard coming from the Instrumental Music room before the start of school. For many students, the various band and orchestral groups provided a break in the day. It’s relaxing to play and break from the tension of the day,” said Craig Viard, senior. “The people are fun and easy to get along with,” said Christy Robinson, sophomore. The motto this year was quality :hrough “Commitment and Pride.” In symphonic band, some students stayed before or after school to work out problems. Their commitment was put to the I felt proud if we (the band) did well because our work paid off ' said Holly Kreighbaum, junior. test when the students had to perform. But afterward they felt proud. “I felt proud if we (the band) did well because our work paid off,” said Holly Kreighbaum, junior. Like the band, the orchestral groups followed the same motto. These students attended several contests like the band. The various divisions were string orchestra and full orchestra. These classes held the opportunity for students to exhibit their musical talents, learn musical skills, consideration when playing in groups and finally, cooperation. After school, the music room was quiet. The sounds of the various instruments could no longer be heard until the start of a new day. )rcheatra: Bottom Row - Chris Turner, Brena Vchant. Inga Milbourn.

Ah, o, ah, o.” These were the sounds that could be heard coming from the Vocal Music room during and after school. The vocal music groups, which included the Chorale, Freshman Choir, Chamber Singers- Classical Sound, the new Barbershop Quartet and Men’s Ensemble, added to the various forms of entertainment at Blue Valley. Chorale and Freshman Choir were groups that contained mixed voices to produce one harmonic sound. But the definitions of both groups varied from one individual to another. “Chorale is a music class where we (the student body) can learn about music and how to sing correctly,” said Tamitha Moyer, senior in Chorale. This year the Chorale, besides performing at concerts, caroled at a variety of places. Included among these was a trip to Shawnee Mission Medical Center where they caroled to patients who could not go outside for the holiday. The Chorale also prepared for the Regional Larger Ensemble competition in spring. They spent many long hours rehearsing their songs and studying the various word sounds. Chamber Singers, known more recently as Classical Sound, was a group of talented singers. These students not only had to sing but they had to dance. This group, along with the other vocal groups, was under the direction of Marsha Moeller. Classical Sound also performed at school concerts and did other performances outside of school. The Barbershop Quartet was a group of four young men that sang without any accompaniment. Will Brown said it best when he said that the Barbershop was a “form of music that’s dying off and it needs to be preserved. That’s what we’re doing.” Vocal Music The Blue Valley Chorale performs at the Vespers concert on the Sunday before Christmas in the Performing Arts Center.

Concern for students high Drinking, drugs, suicide and relationships were the primary concerns of two Blue Valley organizations, SADD and Peer Resources. SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, again entered the fight against drunk driving. The goal was to get a person to say no to driving drunk and for him to be aware when he had had too much to drink. “The nation wide goal is to wipe out drunk driving. But our goal is to get (SADD) contracts out and for everyone to live up to the contracts,” said Sherrie Speierman, SADD secretary. This group attempted to get its message to the students by handing out lollipops at Halloween and providing a SADD van at Prom. Peer Resources provided a chance for trained students to talk to their peers about the peer’s problems. This group's goal was to identify with students and to reach out to the community. During the year, the group sponsored a food and clothing drive. They also visited and helped senior citizens and families at the Ronald McDonald house. These helping organizations provided aid for numerous people. They informed us about drugs, alcohol and relationships.

The Blue Valley High School Categories team answered these and many more interesting questions this year. Categories met once a week to prepare for the once-a-month competitions. The Blue Valley Categories team competed against other schools in the Johnson County area. Senior Greg Isernhagen best described what Categories was all about: “If you’re a big fan of the board game Trivial Pursuit, then you will love the Categories team.” The topics covered in Categories were science, current affairs and history. According to Isernhagen, the main goal of the Categories team was to have a lot of fun. Another well-known club at Blue Valley is the International Club. The International Club had one main goal this year; helping Blue Valley foreign exchange students get better acquainted with the routines at Blue Valley. The International Club also enjoyed learning about the Bolivian, Danish and Spanish cultures from the three foreign exchange students-Luis Romero, Vivian Hanson and Jesus Cremades. The International Club sponsored many projects this year, one being a Christmas gift exchange to help the needy children of the Kansas City area. A third club at Blue Valley this year was the History Club. Celebrating its first anniversary, the History Club, also known as the Intergalactic Pastimes, started the ’86-87 school year successfully. The sponsor was once again Haskell Doss. The History Club had 11 members this year. International Club: Bottom Row- J. Cremades. S. Speierman. L. Romero, J. Jacobs. R. VanKirk. E.

NHS is an organization that honors outstanding students who have achieved academic excellence at Blue Valley. Its goal was to help the less fortunate in the community by raising money and to serve the community itself. NHS sponsored a carnival for the United Way, revised the NHS constitution and tutored individuals. Students were selected during the second semester of their junior year. They were selected on the basis of leadership, service, character and scholarship. It’s a high honor to be selected as one of the group,” said Jennifer Campbell, NHS vice president. Kayettes was another service-oriented organization at Blue Valley. We’re here to help everybody and the community if they ever need anything,” said Lori Howard, Kayettes president. Their goal this year was to help the community and the school. Some of their projects included fundraising to buy food for the needy and gifts for the deaf and sick children at the School for the Deaf and a hospital. They also ushered at the musical and made cookies for teachers’ meetings. These two organizations helped the school, students and the community by serving to the best of their abilities.

It was a major problem in the United States and the students here at Blue Valley organized to fight it. The new organization was named Finding Relief In Encouraging No Drugs, FRIENDS. Approximately 130 students joined FRIENDS. Their Goal was to educate all groups, students and parents about drugs and their effects. “It is an anti drug program that’s here to prevent people from getting involved with drugs,” said Trish Jacobs, junior. To help FRIENDS reach their goal they needed outside help, FRIENDS sponsored many activities. Among these activities were organizing a blanket drive for Project Warmth and preparing skits about drugs for the area middle schools. Beautification of the school — this was the primary objective of the Art Club. “We are here to service the school in any way,” said Chuck Arlund, junior. The main project this year was to help paint the sets for the winter musical. But the Art Club did other projects like repainting the outside wall mural, painting a wall mural in the cafeteria entrance to the parking lot and doing silk screening for The Pack.

The typewriters were already revved, while the fingers striking the keys sounded like a barrage of bullets from a machine gun. This was the typical sound as many attempted to meet their deadlines. The publication classes spent many long hours both inside and outside of school. These hours were spent writing, cropping pictures, developing film and selling advertising. Then when that was finished, they ended up doing it all over again. Producing a yearbook or a newspaper has its complications. There are misunderstandings between the staff regarding deadlines. Other times the staffs miss deadlines. Although producing anything has its problems, the publication classes are excited when they see the finished product. It’s more impressive when you see your own work after it’s done,” said Amy Davis, yearbook editor. “I feel it was a success after seeing students reading and enjoying it,” said Meg Fisher, newspaper editor.

It’s a thing that happens to you.” Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit. Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt. Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, or bit by bit?” “It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all. because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” May all your dreams become REAL ized! All our love - yesterday, today and forever. Mom, Dad and Randy kVl WVl WVl We love Dad, you Jennifer Kaye! Mom, Nancy We seem to spend our lives planning for the future While tomorrow is always in our thoughts, we let the day slip away. And with yesterday returning sometimes, to remind us of the mistakes we made. We try to hold on to those special thoughts, forgetting that the best is yet to come; that tomorrow is another day. another chance to take, another dream to fulfill. Relationships don’t always succeed, the friends you have may change. But no matter what happens to us, I want you to know ... I will always be here for you. Open arms to hold you, an open heart to love you, and an open mind to listen. You will never be alone. Together we can create new dreams, take our chances and live our lives to the fullest. If we fail, the pain won’t be that deep because a friend’s love heals all wounds. So give me a smile I can return, a moment we can share And let me get to know you completely And I will always love you, just the way you are. Natalie Dawn You’re Special What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice. Two for the price are twice as nice! We love you.
