BONNER SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL 100 MC DANIELD BONNER SPRINGS, KS 66012 (913) 422-5121 - Waving Hello Starting off the year, we saw the endless days that lay ahead, the fa- miliar and the not so familiar, along with the continually chang- ing spectrum of the world around us. Enrollment day started the countdown for the Seniors and the confusion for the Sophomores. The Juniors just realized they were one step closer to becoming Seniors. The faculty and adminis- tration began their long year of setting the pace for the students. Coaches and athletes rushed to the fields and courts in waves, setting the fall sports season in motion. The volleyball team had a remarkable season and won Sub- state, but the football team was one and eight. The heat took its toll, but before anyone realized, it was time for Homecoming and the traditional week of festivities to begin. Spirit Week brought float construction, anticipation, and vandalism as each class tried to outdo the oth- ers to the point of destroying signs and even spray painting “no-no’s” on the parking lot. The week con- cluded on a much happier note as the class divisions became less and less until they finally dwin- dled away. By Friday, the only things left were a mass of black and orange decorations, a school clean-up, the pep rally and the fi- nal touches on the floats. The game and dance the following day were the grand finales of the week, but unfortunately, the game score was not to the Braves’advantage, and as usual the sophomores had the winning float. But life goes on. Halloween, then Thanksgiving came as the days became shorter. Basketball and wrestling practices landmarked the coming winter. At long last the Christmas festivities t 2 Opcning V V X � There’s nothing like study hall to start the year off right BEST OF 87-88 AT THE GRAMMYS: Best Actress— Cher (Moonstruck) Best album— U2’s Joshua Tree Best Movie— “The Last Emperor” Best Male Vocalist— Bruce Springsteen IN SPORTS: Best Female vocalist— Super Bowl Champs— Whitney Houston Washington Redskins Best song— 87 World Series— “I’ve Had the Time of My Minnesota Twins Life” NCAA Champs— AT THE OSCARS: Kansas Jayhawks Best Actor— Olympics— Michael Douglas (Fatal winter—Calgary summer— Attraction) Seoul NEWS BRIEF 87-88 Jimmy Swaggart falls from pulpit due to sex- ual misconduct.

St. Nick flew by, and Baby New Year pushed out 1987 before we knew it. Celebration ’88 got underway as the second semester rolled around. Mother Nature put a damper on things as she hurled her icy forces in our direction. Though often knee-deep in snow, we pushed on, hoping that Spring was just around the comer. The boys’ basketball team won the Tongie tourna- ment and school spirit reached its peak. The wrestling team sent three to State with Veteran Jay Verdict cap- turing a 2nd place medal in the 138 lb division. Invariably Spring Fever sent everyone looking toward the end of the year.

DESERT On Saturday, October 10th, Bonner High School students were filled with anxious excitement as they watched their best friends ride through town in the annual Home- coming Parade, which started at 10:00 AM. In the parade, we got a glimpse of the queen candidates as well as the class floats. Later in the day, fans sat in the stands and cheered for our local football team. During halftime, Tom Mikuls and MOON Kim Roberts were crowned King and Queen. After the game, students rushed home to get ready for the big dance, which started at 7:00 PM. With Desert Moon as the theme, stu- dents danced the night away to a wide variety of fast-paced music. After the dance was over, people ended the evening by going out to dinner at the usual favorite spots and then going home to bed, only to think about the day. Sophomores Jackie Arnett, Tamara Fraker and Angie Thomas show that they do have spirit.

One of the most exciting holidays is of course—Christmas. The year’s Christmas dance was held on Dec. 19th in the commons. As the couples danced to the music of their favorite bands and enjoyed refreshments that were furnished by the home economics dept.; they conversed with friends and waited for the crowning of the King and Queen. Traditionally, the King and Queen are represented by the Junior class, but this year, Stuco decided to have Seniors run for the positions. When asked what she thought of the change in the Christmas royalty, Junior Monica McAfee said, “It’s the Seniors last year—let them have it.” While Junior Paige Bastion said, “I don’t think it was fair that they changed it with such short notice.” Senior Sophie Jimenez commented that, “Even though I’m in Stuco, I think we have too much royalty and to change things this year was a waste of time.” Above: Juniors Terri Siragusa and Chris Thombcrg are part of the royal court. To the left: Junior Debbie Christensen is also part of the Christmas Royal Court. Christmas Dance 13 THE CURIOUS SAVAGE The Curious Savage takes place in an institution called the Cloysters for the mentally disturbed. However, the patients in this institution aren’t really disturbed. The main character Ethel, played by Terri Siragusa, is institutionalized by her son and daughter because they think she’s crazy. Ethel isn’t really crazy; she’s just different because she has blue hair and carries a teddy bear wherever she goes. Not only is Ethel “dif- ferent” but also very rich. Her children are after her money, so she liquidates the family fortune. With her fortune and bonds missing, everyone goes on a wild goose chase trying to find them. After the nurse finds evidence that the money had been burnt, everyone gives up the search. However, during this whole fiasco, Ethel has had the money hidden in her teddy bear. By the end of the story, the other tenants, such as Hannibal, (he thinks he’s a violin player), Florence, (she carries a doll, pretending it’s her baby), a Vietnam Vet, (who thinks he was injured in the war), and the doctor! realize the nurse had stolen some of the bonds, and Ethel has left Cloysters with her money. Hannibal ends up being a brilliant violinist, Florence has a real baby, the Vietnam Vet was really injured all along, and all tenants live happily ever after ... Left: Juniors S. Mills, T.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR During the week of Feb. 8th-12th, students of BSHS were preparing for the upcoming event of the Valentine’s Dance. This year Stuco sponsored the dance which was held on Friday, Feb. 12th. It featured a live disc jockey instead of a borrowed stereo and a profes- sional photographer instead of Mom’s snapshots taken with her old 110. Earlier in the day, many people were called to the office in order to pick up their flowers or balloon bouquets that were sent by “that special person”. All in all, the day was the setting for special memories to be made. Above, Sophomore Jenny Prieto is shocked to see the size of her balloon bouquet.

This year the colors were black and silver, and the setting was the Lake of the Forest clubhouse. The tea-length dress was a welcome relief to those girls who were suffering from the warm weather, and the re- freshments served by the home economics department moistened our throats and satisfied our taste buds. When compared to last year’s prom, almost all partici- pants said that they indeed had “The Time of Their Lives”. Above: Debbie Christensen and Craig Sorenson. Left: Michelle Gregory.

Above: Mr. Leonard helps J. Rehm get his rhythm right. Mr. Leonard tries to “maintain a positive atmosphere every day, to compliment and accentuate the positive and to set high goals. I have high expectations; I try to bring out the potential in every- one.” Even though Mrs. Woods feels homework is essential, many of her present and past students have spent more time making up excuses for undone homework than they spent working on it. Some of her favorite excuses are: “Ollie North shreaded it,” “Hen- ry Kissenger came to my house and needed a piece of paper. The only paper available had my homework written on it. I have him the piece of paper so he could write the document of world peace. So you see Mrs. Wood, I did it for world peace,” and “On a VERY COLD day while waiting for the bus, my homework assign- ment shattered into small pieces when it slipped through my fro- zen fingers.” Above: Math teacher Mr. Mauldin tries to help some of his algebra students understand the new chapter.

Tradition- ally, Seniors would get togeth- er, plan a trip and spend Spring Break together. This year plans started differently. A trip to Colorado for a week filled with skiing and shop- ping was one idea. Another idea was a trip down to South Padre to lie on the beach, meet a new friend, and come home with a tan. However, as the year progressed, the plans didn’t. Slowly Seniors started making their own plans for Spring Break. Although, the class didn’t go together, there were groups of Seniors that did. Others just relaxed at home and got “caught up” on their favorite soaps. As a re- sult, Seniors spent their Spring Break in a variety of ways, and as shown, some still trav- eled to sunny shores.

Now 10-minute breaks are added to the schedule, and there’s 25 minutes to eat lunch, during which students can sit anywhere they choose. They can even lounge in the commons area if the notion strikes. Things are different but basical- ly the same. First hour starts a few minutes later, because there’s no homeroom, with each hour lasting 55 minutes. Aside from bigger lockers, there are not too many great differences. Feeling a little bit better, walking a little bit taller and not caring about all the friends left be- hind, each Sophomore moves up and walks through the doors of Bonner Springs High School. Each Sophomore tries to gain popularity and make everyone no- tice his her existence. But noticed or unnoticed, most Sophomores try to make the very best of their high school years.

Without pet peeves, school hours would be bearable and cheery. So, in a recent survey of Bonner Springs Sophomores, we received some of their major pet peeves. What is your biggest pet peeve about BSHS life? Marcie Gillespie: “The way people slide their feet along the tile in the commons area.’’ Stacey Chronister: “People just sit around.” Renee Deming: “Not having ra- dios in class.” David Brown: “How you have to wait in a long line to get your lunch.” Krista Farris: “The locker space.” Kari Dalebout: “In some rooms you’re cold, but in some rooms you roast.” Kyla Buhrle: “It just gets monotonous.” Andrea Pressler: “Having Seniors who think they know everything about sophomores write articles about them in the newspaper.” Melanie Sollars: “Going to the snack machine at lunch time and finding all the caramel Twix gone. I hate that.” Lamont Neely: “There’s not enough good looking girls.” Alvin Johnson: “How you have to wait in line at lunch.” John Roberts: “You get detentions too easily.” Tawana Freese: “My biggest pet peeve is the way the upper class members try to put us down and fail to remember that they were sophomores once them- selves.” Shelly Mikuls: “When the Coke machine gives you change, but it is all nickles.” Coleen Bums: “Activity periods.” Jenny Prieto: “Some of the stupid silly rules the office comes up with.” Sophomores 73 Rcnc Deming Brian Denney Paula Diebel Robert Dorsey Garrett Dougherty Brian Eads LaNesha Eastcrwood Mike Edwards Juanita Elam Lisa Elmer Renee Everhart Mindie Rowers Brendan Forrest Tamara Fraker James Freese Tawana Freese Bilcc Jo Gerber Blane Gillespie Marcie Gillespie Jerome Girard Brian Glenn Jennifer Graves Sharon Greer Brian Harrington Paul Hausner Steve Hawkins Nicole Hestand Tim Hietala Harold Hinson Karen Holmes Adam Honeywell David Howe Glen James Traci Jamison Alvin Johnson 74 Sophomores . � +++� + My biggest goal for being a Ju- nior is— Steve Nickolett: “to make ev- eryone’s life more enjoyable.” LeAndra Johnson: my dad’s money.” Brian Denney: Danny Smith.” ‘to spend ‘to pick on Gary Vaughn: my friends.” Teresa Parks: Ha!

FRENCH FOOD, FARINE, CAMIDA, CIBUS The International Dinner was held on February 16, 1988. The main idea of the project was to have the French, Spanish, and Latin clubs share foods native to the countries where the language originated. Approximately 25-30 students sampled many dishes from different countries. The stu- dents seemed fascinated in prepar- ing these foods and, obviously, took great pleasure in tasting them. “I think that the students really enjoyed tasting the other kinds of foods,” said Mrs. Melius, Spanish club sponsor. SPANISH Clubs 93 FHA-HERO NUTRITION EDUCATION FHA-Hero celebrated National Nutrition Educa- tion month to promote physical fitness and good health. The group held several different events to promote “Health through good nutrition.” Home ec. students made posters and displays to hang in the cafeteria.

The club, also, held a contest to donate mon- ey to children with birth defects. Mr. Jump’s and Mr. Nelson’s first hour students won the March of Dimes contest and celebrated with pizza. Party!

STILL STRUGGLING Bonner Springs High School organizers are still fighting to increase their membership in S.A.D.D., Students Against Driving Drunk. This group was formed to help students understand that they can still have a good time at parties without drinking and driving. This year to recruit members, BSHS S.A.D.D. held a BYOB, (bring your own banana) party. Participants brought bananas and fixed ba- nana splits with ice cream provided by the local club. S.A.D.D. is also assisting NAB (Non-Alcoholic Bev- erages) with project graduation. This is a party held to let the Seniors say good-bye to each other without drinking and driving, unlike the past Senior parties involving alcohol. FRIENDS CiJ DON'T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK!

This is a day set aside by KU for over 100 invited Kansas high school bands to perform together. During halftime of one football game, all of the bands march onto the field, form a design and play the same songs. Sophie Jiminez, drum ma- jor, says, “I’ve gone for three years, and all three years I’ve had a blast. I’ve had an opportunity to hear many great bands, especially the KU marching band.” Sophia Jiminez, drum major, and Mr. Leonard, instructor, take time out to smile for the birdie.” Members of the BSHS marching band perform in the Homecoming parade.

Student council was very pleased with the re- sponse of the classes for this activity. Not only did the week include float prepara- tion but hall decorations, as well. The response for this was very positive and enthu- siastic. The only negative was the fact that a small minority got more enjoyment from defacing the work of others and not using their creativity for their class. Even with this small minority, the spirit and fun of the week was not lost.

It’s not the casual, laid-back at- mosphere with which you might compare your 2nd hour study hall. Actually, it is one hour of frantic, mind-boggling dilem- mas. Losing negatives, missing pica rulers, and not enough tri- copy sheets are just a few of the major fiascos of the hour. In spite of the hard work, head- aches and homework, it teaches the students how to put a year- book together, the do’s and don’ts of photography and teamwork. Yearbook class is hours of work followed by years of reward. Yearbook 107 Tisa Bolton springs to the rescue to block a spike.

From July 6- 9 the cheerleaders went to camp at K.U. Not only did they bring home the spirit stick, they were the only squad to win a blue rib- bon every night. To top it all off, the cheerleaders, also, won the aw- ard of excellence. Besides practicing all summer for three hours a day, the cheer- leaders also worked after school to prepare for their trip to Dallas. With the help of the Booster Club, the teachers and the community, the cheerleaders raised enough money for the eight girls to go to Nationals. The Booster Club helped the girls to buy new uni- forms, and Mary Kay helped them with their gymnastics skills. Yet, most of the work they did was on their own. After carwashes, a fashion show and a basketball game between faculty and alumni, the cheerleaders had a enough money to go. Nationals were from December 26 to the 29 in Dallas, Texas. The BSHS cheerleaders entered the small varsity division of ten and under girls only along with 150 other squads. “That night was the best we’d ever done our dance,” says Senior Captain Kim Roberts. Not only did the BSHS cheer- leaders find time to cheer at every sporting event of the year, they also, marched in the Tiblow Days parade and danced at the Optimist game. Therefore, the 1987-88 cheerleaders had a very busy year. As always. Senior captain Kim Roberts and Junior co-captain Kathy Jo Roberts keep on smiling!

POM PON SEASONS BRING CHANGE Entering the 87-88 sports arena, fans found a new and improved Bonnerette program. There were new additions to the squad such as first-year member and captain, Carrie Dunstan, who brought some innovative ideas from her previous experiences as a drill team performer at her former school. Several sophomores, also, made their first try at the group. Another important change was the sponsor. Mrs. Leonard not only found a new job when she came to Bonner but inherited the responsi- bility of sponsoring the Bonnerettes as well. Back, L to R: Jenny Prieto. Vanessa Boyd, Ju- Front.

Carrie Dunstan summed it up, “Camp was a blast!” After losing some squad members, the season unfortunately became a long and hard one. “By the end of the foot- ball season, it was a challenge to all the squad members to stick with it,” commented Carrie, but she added, “it helped to have a great sponsor.” Indeed something kept them together, for, through- out basketball season, the Bonnerettes continued to perform new and exciting routines—much to the delight of the fans. The squad sits in deep meditation before their performance.

The Bonner Braves football squad struggled through another tough year, ending the season with a 1-8 record. The last game of the Braves’ season was the team’s first victory. Working hard in the second half, the Braves pulled ahead and de- feated Turner Bears, 18-7. Perhaps the hardest loss for the Braves, who were expected to win, was to the Bishop Miege Stags at Bonner’s Homecoming game. Yet, this 1987 football season was a good learning tool for the 27 returning Sophomores and Juniors, all of whom already have actual varsity playing experience. “Last year, we only had 4 returning lettermen. This year we will have 21,” replied Coach Joe Mintner. Derold Fletcher, led the Braves in rushing with 428 yards. Lon- nie Lindsey ran a close second with 359 yards. The team’s leading receivers were Junior Brian Jackson with 28 and Senior Jesse Freese with 26. James Freese led the Braves in passing, completing 48%. Ending the season with a 34-yard punting average, Sopho- more Jimmy Matthews was third in the conference. The Braves leading tackles were Junior Derold Fletcher 122, Senior Chad Nolting 118, and Junior Eric Anderson 100.

From there, the Bravettes went on to do the unexpected. In their first EKL match of the season, the Bravettes knocked off two top ranked teams, the Blue Valley Tigers and the Miege Stags. “We had a great thing going. I only wish we’d carried through to the state tour- nament,” remarked Stephanie Stean after the season. The Bravettes then went on to earn the title of EKL Co- Champs, losing only one match to Miege. The next step was on to Sub-State. First they met and defeated Turner. Next they battled number one seed Washburn Rural. This took the Bravettes three games, first losing 15-15. But the “Never say die” Bravettes, led by coaches Shirley Vaughn and Hatsie Lawrence, came back to win the next two back to back, 15-13 and 15-8. The Bravettes were state bound once again. The individual talent was obvious. Three Bravettes were named to the all-EKJL squad: Senior Stephanie Stean and Juniors Melissa McGraw and Courtney Bond. Senior Stephanie Stean and Junior Courtney Bond were, also, named to the All-Star tournament team at the K.C.K.C.C. tournament. Overall the “Never say die” Bravettes had a challenging yet successful season. Above: The varsity Bravettes await the re- turn of the ball at the K.CK tournament.

The 1987 netters had a rebuilding season with a small inexperienced team. Four returning letterwinners, including the only two seniors, led the squad which consisted of seven people. Capturing 5th place overall in the EKL meet and 3rd in the regional meet were the team highlights of the season. The Bravettes put up a good fight, but no one advanced further than the quarterfinal round at regionals. It was disappointing not to send any mem- bers to the state competition. Without ’87 graduate Miste Bitner, who competed at state for 3 years, there was no one to carry the torch for Bonner. Senior Samantha Aitkens summed up the season, “We had a rough year, but we pulled through.” Indi- viduals mentioned many personal goals that were achieved. “It was a fun season. We had a great time, but I’m sorry no one went to state,” commented Sheila Wilson. Coach Scott has high hopes for next year with most of the squad returning. The team will be more experienced and should do well.

CROSS COUNTRY HANG IN’ IN THERE Basically an individual’s sport, cross country is one of hard working, dedication, and often no glory. Since cross country is not a popular spectator’s sport, these athletes put in mile after mile for only personal rewards. Competition was tough for this year’s team, and though much time was spent practicing and preparing, no one advanced to the state finals. Two-year letter- winner and captain Kelly Martin gave the inside track on what her season was like: “During the ’87 season, it was really exciting because it was my last year. I had a great coach, and I also had the self-determination to push myself to the outer limits. Now that it’s over, I can honestly say that I miss all the miles on the road and the sweat.” Personal dedication and goals are the strengths cross country capitalizes on. Later on in life, aren’t those the ones that count? 120 Cross Country Maintaining his even pace, Richard Brillhart stays on the move.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL The ’87-’88 season proved to be a trying one for the boys’ basket- ball team. They finished with an jyj record which was disappoint- ing after a good start at the begin- ning of the season. The Braves leaped into action with a second place trophy at the Paola-Ottawa tournament, their first outing of the season. At times, the team played well enough to beat the Bishop Miege Stags, which was a season high- light. Senior Bill Downing stated, “We had the talent to be a very good team, but we lacked consis- tency. You couldn’t expect to see the same team every game.” Consistency, however, proved to be the Braves’ strong point in winning the Tonganoxie tourna- ment for the second year. The team demonstrated strong and aggressive play throughout the tournament. The final game proved so when they beat the home team, the Tonganoxie Chieftains. Three players were named to the all-tournament team: Monty Chayer, Bill Downing, and Brian Jackson, who also received the Most Valuable Player Award. After such a showing the team appeared ready for anyone but weren’t so lucky in league play nor in the sub-state tournament, where they were beaten by Washburn. “If we could have played as a strong team unit, our record would have been above .500. It’s difficult to win when there is dissention on the team,” summed up Monty Chayer. Bill Downing was the only team member named to the All-EKL squad. 122 Boys Basketball Back, L to R: John Heckathome, coach, and Tom McCool, asst, coach. 3rd row: Arthur Bolton, Gilbert Garlington, Steve May, Brian Jackson, Monty Chayer, Bill Downing, Steve Herring, and Chris Hall. 2nd row: Tim Palmer, Steve Nickolctt, Bennie Roark, Tony Avant, Rob Holland, Craig Sorenson, Mike Sanders and Marcus Daniels.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL Posting an 8-13 record, the Bravettes basketball team improved their record from last year, yet didn’t quite accomplish what they had hoped for in the ’87-’88 season. Starting off the season with the Paola-Ottawa tournament, the Bravettes finished second with a 2-1 record. From then on, the season was full of ups and downs. Victories over Olathe North and South boosted the team in league play, although they were pushed to the limit by Bishop Miege, Blue Valley and Blue Valley North. During the DeSoto tournament, the Bravettes won their first game, but a heartbreaking second game loss sent the team to the consolation bracket. In the third game, Bonner overcame the odds to pull a victory from Harmon with a ten point rally in the last minute and a half of the game. The team finished with the consolation trophy. During regular season play, unexpected losses plagued the girls and put them two wins short of their .500 goal. Washburn Rural knocked Bonner out of sub-state play with their home court advantage, despite valiant efforts by all the members of the squad. Overall, the team improved over the season and although the score didn’t always show it, the Bravettes were winners. The team finished fourth in league play and Senior Sheila Wilson was named to the All- EKL squad for a second year.

Though the Braves lost several members due to injury, they managed to end the season with a 9-5 record. At this year’s EKL meet, Scott Geary captured second place, while Junior Virgil Goodin and Freshman Matt Biles placed third and Sophomore Rick Mou- lin took 4th place. Just in time for this year’s regionals which were held at BSHS, Jay Verdict recov- ered from a knee injury to clinch another first place finish.

To end the season, Jay Verdict walked away with second in the 132- pound division. There were some impressive in- dividual records made during the ’87 season. Scott Geary ended the year with a 25-9 record with 160 team points. Matt Biles had a most impressive record of 29-8, Jeff Sickman landed a 20-8 record, and Jay Verdict wound up his last with a 15-1 record and second at the 5-A state championship. Since the BSHS wrestling team will be losing only four Seniors, we are expecting big things from next year’s team with Coach McGinnis leading them all the way.

Posting a record of 7-15 for the entire season, the Braves fell short of their goals. Though they won the first game in Sub-state play when they defeated the Turner Bears, they couldn’t clinch the second game to advance any further toward State. The team, as a whole, collected a .306 batting average with 112 hits in 589 at bats. Defensively, the Braves allowed opponents 249 hits in 620 times at bat for a .348 average. The leading hitter for the Braves was Chris Hall, who compiled 26 hits in 70 times at bat for a .371 average. Steve Herring had the sec- ond highest batting average with a .355. Brian Jackson led the team in RBI’s and homeruns with 15 and 6, respectively. A.C. Smith was second with the most homeruns, having three. The very young team with only senior Chris Hall will have quite an experienced squad next year. Bonner, also, had for the first time a junior varsity baseball squad which gave underclassmen an ad- vantage that had not been available in earlier years. Coach John Heckathome added assistant coach, Tom McCool, who is new to the school, to his staff. Junior Derek Anderson said the season was “rough and tough.” In- deed the Braves were often edged out of the scorebook as their oppo- nents took charge, but the dedicated team members pressed on. General- ly, the team agrees that their major problem was pitching. Having no regular pitcher, most everyone had a chance to try his arm at the mound. Baseball 129 Girls' Softball The BSHS Bravettes, coached by Don Smith, post- ed a 10-13 mark this 1988 season. As a team, the Bravettes hit .307 while their oppo- nents hit a .268 average. Leading the team was Ju- nior Courtney Bond with a .428 average. Not far be- hind Bond was Junior Kathy Noble, who hit .409. Junior Melissa McGraw, also, had a good year at the plate, ending the season with a .373 average. The Bravettes’ top pitcher was Junior Chrissy Isabell. Isabell ended the season with a 7-7 win loss record; Kathy Noble, also, pitched for the Bravettes and finished with a 3-6 win loss record. Kathy Noble was recognized for the 1988 EKL All- Conference softball team. Noble had the second highest average at .409 and the third highest RBI record of 13. Ending the year with 6 Sophs, and 8 Juniors, the Bravettes lost no starters. After playing a season to- gether, the Bravettes should have a successful 1989 season.

In the opening round at regionals, the doubles team defeat- ed Blue Valley 6-1, 6-0. They then went on to beat Ottawa 6-0, 6-3 in Quarter finals. Washburn Rural was tough on Bonner, and the Braves lost 6-1, 6-3. Chris Pressler lost in the first round singles to Ottawa, 6-0, 6-0. Rob Holland struggled and eventually lost 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. The doubles team of Khan Powell and Brad Landers lost to Miege, 6-0, 6- 1. As a team overall, the Braves placed in a tie for fifth with Otta- wa.

A basi- cally steady but not an outstand- ing season was the result of this group’s performance. Consisting of three returning letterwinners and a group of newcomers, the team ranged from experienced players to those just learning the game. Richard Laing raked in the medals, and Steve Klise and Mike Saunders pulled their weight while the less experienced members practiced and tried to better their scores with each outing. The team won a third place medal at the Wyandotte County meet which proved that they were showing improvement. It was the only medal earned as a team. One other highlight was the ad- vancement of Richard Laing to the state meet for the 2nd year in a row. Steve Klise competed at state last year as a sophomore but was knocked out of the running at Regionals this year. With that background, Steve could be in the running for a trip the State tourna- ment his senior year. Returning letter-winners: Mike Saunders. Monty Chayer, Brian Gumm. Jeff Tinberg, Richard Laing and Steve KJise with coach, and Duane Buckridge. Bob Chattcrton. Other team members were Junior Mike Saunders finishes off the hole with a putt while Steve KJise looks on. Former state competitor, Steve Klise pre- pares to drive the ball with a mighty swing. 136 Golf RICHARD LAING The last two years have brought about a string of victories for Bonner’s top golfer, Richard Laing. Competing at the State lev- el his junior and senior years, Richard has made quite a name for himself. For the past two years, the only medals he hasn’t won have been state medals. Unfortunately, the 1988 State Tournament brought a stroke of bad luck, and Richard placed 15th with a score of 84. The last time he shot an 80 was during Regionals his sophomore year. “I felt that I had a very strong season for as much pressure as I had on me. It would’ve been great to win State, but life goes on and now I look toward college.” Having signed with Cal State Fullerton, Richard does indeed have something to look forward to. Richard Laing digs in on the swing as he works on his drive. Senior Monty Chayer, newcomer to the world of golf, gets a kick out of his game. Brian Gumm looks off into the distance to see how far he hit it this time.

AN ORIGINAL TWIST Someone once said, “To be different is to be great,” and some students at BSHS agreed with this quote. They seem to add a little twist to a repetitious schedule to make the atmosphere of the day a little more at ease. Too often we find ourselves getting stressed out over the little things in life. However, some students avoid that problem by displaying their ability to be original, and such humor reduces stress at BSHS.

Seniors prepared announce- ments, finalized college plans, and kept their fingers crossed for scholarships. The final sports sea- son budded with the spring weather, and fans stepped outside to cheer their team to victory. Three track members placed at State: Bill Downing, Stephanie Stean, and Kelly Martin. The ten- nis doubles team of Matt Jones and Brian Dolinar volleyed their way to State as well. Star golfer Richard Laing heated up the greens, but the State title eluded him. Father Time seemed to speed up as activities filled most every day. Clubs and organizations set the stage for next year, and new class officers were elected. April Tate is caught taking a time-out. Though Spring is traditionally the season of begin- ning, with the close of school, endings sadly come about as well. Seniors chase the shadow of gradua- tion with mixed feelings. Joy, relief, and excitement are plagued with uncertainty, confusion, and the sorrows of saying good-byes that may be forever. The underclassmen mentally step up a level as they watch the class before them move toward the future without realizing that in no time at all they, too, will be there. Baccalaureate, graduation, and project graduation bring the class of ’88 together for its last lasts. Summer waits patiently for the doors of Bonner Springs High School to close out another year of classes and bring on the lazy days and crazy nights that all winter long have remained but the longing daydream of a student in science class. Senior Kelly Martin releases her long awaited vengcnce on whom else but Chris Wood. 150 Closing THE Now we take a moment to look back and wonder where all that time went. Seems like only yester- day we opened that calendar and sighed with a thought of the endless homework filled days that were ahead. But the endless days came to a halt as quickly as they began. The long months of the past year fade until they seem as only one neverending yet unattainable moment in the space of eternity. Flashbacks of the Pow- der Puff game and Prom and little bits in between remind us of the best and the worst of times, the times we laughed as well as the times we cried, the moments we wish we could forget and those we’ll cherish forever. We leave be- hind nothing but the unbroken bonds of friendships, memories, and the ghosts of 482 students whispering incessantly of the times they shared way back then in 1988. LAST GOODBYE...
