Photo: Gabe Vleisides To understand the events of the 1987-1988 school year, you had to look deeper than simply scratching the sur- face. For instance, in july, many of us watched on our televisions as a joint Con- gressional panel tried to get to the bottom of the largest political scandal since Wat- ergate: the lranfContra affair. One witness in particular, Lt. Col. Oli- ver North, not only performed well under pressure, but also drew a large following of supporters, even though most people weren't sure what he still might be cover- ing up. In the months to follow, Supreme Court nominees Robert Bork and Douglas Ginsburg also went under close scruntiny before being rejected by the Senate judi- ciary committee. The Constitution celebrated a birth- day, too. However, the dignified ceremo- nies in comparison to recent celebrations of the Statue of Liberty and Spam sort of understated the significance of this par- ticular anniversary. Meanwhile, on Octo- ber 19, the stock market closed 508 points lower than the day before, forcing some investors to go under, while the U.S. also retaliated for lran's underhanded behav- ior in the Persian Gulf. The south part of town was springing up, too. 103rd was widened, more office complexes appeared, and ground was broken on a new Taco Bell on Bannister, practically the same distance from school as McDonald's, but easier to sneak away 2 Design. . .Matt Haun -IE U DERLYING MEANING to. Out on the west coast, California's un- derground alarm clock, the San Andreas fault, rocked Los Angeles with a series of medium strength earthquakes and after- shocks and in Washington, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbechev made some waves of their own as they undersigned the first nuclear arms reduction treaty in the histo- ry of the world. Here at home, school got underway before Labor Day this year, though few of us actually understood how Center could be an agricultural district. Some state leg- islators didn't understand it either, and threatened not to underwrite our first four days. Also as the year started, the building and grounds underwent numer- ous changes. As the sounds of bulldozers and tractors wafted into our classrooms, all of us were forced to take the 89th street detour into the parking lot while layers of dirt were removed from the south field. In December, some students had to think twice abouttheir weekend plans as the state legislature enacted a strict new policy to reduce underage drinking and driving. Inside the walls, things were differ- ent, too. We swapped administrators with the junior High, adding Assistant Principal Dick Bueker to the staff. jerry Culver jumped from the first floor to the office and became our fourth counselor. The secretaries returned to a remodeled of- fice, including an attendance center for those who didn't make it into school un- der the wire, and the return of Dr. john Burke marked the first time in three years that CHS was under the direction of an in- cumbant skipper. ln the world of sports, the Royals turned into underachievers, despite the amazing accomplishments of Kevin Seit- zer and Danny Tartabull. Out at Arrow- head, non-union understudies undermi- ned the efforts of the underpaid strik- ing football players. In our own stadium, our numerically undersized team held their own against big teams like 0'Hara, Parkview and Kearney. On our free time, we flocked to movies about undercover law enforce- ment officials, as Stakeout, The Untouch- ables and Beverly Hills Cop 2 hit it big at the box office. Scenes from FatalAttrac- tion sent some under their seats, while a scarce number of tickets for the big U2 concert were kept under tight controls. Most of us underprivileged fans had to settle for listening to their smash The joshua Tree album in its recorded ver- sion. But in all, different events will under- score the memories of '87-'88 school year. To find your underlying meanings, you sort of have to dig deeper and do a little bit of investigative reporting of your own. From our perspective, headquartered in a tiny room underneath the action, we've given you a springboard to start scratching the surface and uncovering a multitude of personal memories. To undertake your own mental recollection, just start by flip- ping a few pages and find out what you discover . .. UNDERNEATH IT ALL! - - jeff Field .3 W ,QA o hear some adults talk about kids today, it's as if we were as easily classi- fied as a species of insect or a model of automobile. All too often, we hear ourselves labelled as those Center students, stupid freshmen, or adolescent subculture , as we would learn in Dan Creasy's Sociology class. But it's not all that easy. Though we may sound easily classified as a group, individually, it's clear that we're all very different. ln a high school of nearly 1000 students, we've got nearly 1000 different li- festyles. So how do we represent these thousand different viewpoints un- der the generic heading of Student Life? That's All Things Considered. lt's Ken Hughes 4121, whose obsession with After football practice, Kevin Bunting 491 sips a Sprite and waits for 3 ride home.

You can learn a lot about a person by the kind of things they carry around. A simple thing like a key- chain can represent a per- son's attachment to their car and their home. Backpacks and purses are loaded with statements about the people who carry them. My purse is a memory book, said Kim Silverman 4121, I carry everything that's sa- cred to me in my purse. One ofthe most impor- tant possessions are pic- tures. Gineane Vieux 4111 says she carries photo- graphs of her friends be- cause my friends are LL THINGS coNS1DERED very important to me and my pictures reflect that. In addition, pictures also help students remember special events. So as we consider the many things that mean student life to the typi- cal Centerite in this part of our memory book, we have to be able to narrow these differences down into a few basic catego- ries. To help, we've load- ed you a diversity pack, classifying the uniquen- esses under different stu- dent possessions. And of course, we've also includ- ed plenty of pictures to put these differences in focus. I After all, things are pretty blurry in the ado- lescent subculture. - - leff Field Netty Borbely 4121 puts up movie posters for the Homecoming dance.

Tifani Moot C125 noticed it in one of the many pubs that freckle the English coun- tryside, and for Matthew Owings f125, the realiza- tion came on a late night train ride from London. Though the experiences varied, the feelings were uniform: this was no ordi- nary place they were visit- ing, and for most people, the trip became some- thing special. For two weeks in july, 17 CHS students and dis- trict teachers and admin- istrators were a part of a different world, as Center kicked off an exchange program with Berkshire, England. One goal of the exchange, which was al- most entirely financed by the district, was to give students an opportunity to experience a culture radically different from their own. The suburban commu- nities of Reading offered many subtle changes to the eyes of these outsi- ders. Ordering a Coke meant getting one with vegetable extracts and no ice. Television offered a mere four channels, as opposed to the dozens offered by American ca- ble companies. Movie theatres offered humor- ous commercials before the main attraction, and though the traffic pat- terns meant driving on the left side of the road, some students found out firsthand that most British families don't drive at all. I noticed that a lot of people walked places, said Nathan Linhardt 4125. They didn't have the big strong cars like we do in America. Part of the program in- cluded visits to British schools, which students found to be a far cry from American institutions. The classes were longer, but you had more time in between, said Rachelle Rollins 1125. You also had built-in free times that were really neat. CHS students were split up be- tween Bulmershe and Lit- tle Heath comprehensive schools, while the adult participants stayed in dorms on the campus of Bulmershe College. As part of the group tours, Centerites were taken to various historic sities, including Oxford University, Westminster Abbey, Bath and the leg- endary Vale ofthe White Horse, a serene bluff of- fering an unobstructed view of the countryside. In addition, some stu- dents made spontaneous excursions into London. But the exchange meant different things to different people. Some went on madcap shop- ping sprees, some fell in love, while others found perfect moments in Lon- don's West End theatre district. To lonathan Lehr f125,one ofhis most mem- orable moments came when his host family told him they knew of no one who actually liked Ronald Reagan. For some students, the best times were spent at social events with their peers. The Little Heath group had a number of VCR parties, while Bul- mershe hosts treated their guest to a number of barbecues and trips to the local pub. At one of these pubs, Moot noticed a dif- ference in the maturity levels of British and American teenagers. The British students act- ed more responsibly and seemed to take things much more seriously, she said. But perhaps the biggest difference was felt by stu- dents who thought they had more freedom and responsibility. Owings, thinking his host would reprimand him for re- turning late from a spon- taneous trip to London, instead found his host to be surprised that they had come back so soon. At the party, Wilson realized that I was on my own, with no parents to answer to. In all, the thirteen days in Berkshire showed these students the con- trast between American and British culture, peo- ple and values. Whether they picked it up through additional responsibility, language variances, or lit- tle things like not having to pay sales tax, the ex- change was a hands-on educational tool for ev- erybody involved. And that made all the differ- ence in the world. - - jeff Field ff Ax 4, f 1 I' f 2 r r C: if 695555-Silllz, , J 31+ ' 1- 1 1 1 E215-3? il' ' - 22' 4 4 1 ,Ag X WS ' , Q 3 wx Zfffp AQ..

It's a top necessity to have fun, but what do you do if you're broke? For most students, it means to bum some money from your friends or parents and promise to pay them back on your next payday. But what if your friends are broke too, or your parents won't lend you any money? You have to find Watts Mill is a popular hang-out for many students.

Boyce Evans 1115 6 3 something that's not only fun, but free. In a recent survey, most students chose shopping malls, parties, parks, Watts Mill and the Plaza as somewhere they would go that's fun and free in Kansas City. When I don't have any money, I go out window shopping and look at what I would buy if I could, said lenni Bennett 1105. Some students, howev- er, chose to go to a specif- ic mall. l go to Bannister because it's a better shop- ping mall, said Mindy johnson Q95. Other than malls, stu- dents chose parties to oc- cupy their free time. When I'm broke, lgo out and try to find a party, said Boyce Evans 4115. Although shopping malls and parties were popular choices, going to parks, Watts Mill and the Plaza came in close be- hind. I sometimes go to the Plaza or a park with friends, said Paula Humo 4125. Another point of view is that it's not necessarily the people they're with, but the places they go that attract them. I go to the plaza because it's fun to walk around and look at the variety of people and- stores, said David Kubayko 4125. But no matter what, there's always going to be some weekend nights when there's absolutely nothing to do, and as Ev- ans said, You sometimes have to go out and make your fun! - - Christy Antone Freshmen Brian Hauser, Denny Svejda and Grant Hale visit The Nelson Art Gallery on a Sunday when admission is free.

Have you ever wondered this while trying to narrow out the places you should go? There are many decisions made each day choosing where to gop whether it is where to take your hot date this weekend or which local grocery store to go to. Even if I have an idea of where I want to go, I still have the problem of narrowing down what I'm going to do, said Brian VanSlyke 4111. Many peo- ple have said that they have this problem. For ex- ample, if you know which restaurant you want to go to, you still have to decide what to order or if you know which movie the- atre you like best, you still have to decide what mov- ie to see. Your friends have a O 18 Design...Kim Alley big influence on where you decide to go. Stacia Timmons 4111 explained how she decides where to go on weekends, I think out some good ideas and talk about it within a big group and do what the majority wants to do. The majority has said that they like to go where everybody goes rather than to exclusive places most of the time. Kraig Kamp 1111 said, I like to go where everybody goes because I'm with more people and get to see my friends.

Do you dread your fate for the next seven years after breaking a mir- ror? How about when you see the first star of the evening - can you pass up the opportunity to make that wish? If you have found yourself giving in to any of these behavioral patterns you probably, qualify as being superstitious Being superstitious can be taken quite seri- ously, even compulsively, by some. For others, it's just plain fun. lason Tav- ernaro 1115 says that he's just slightly superstitious. I do believe in horos- copes and I occasionally read them to see if what they say really happens to me. Some regard super- stitions as a formula to success. For instance, soc- cer player Gaines Audo 4111 explains his ritual be- fore games. Before a soccer game, I often at- tempt to get rid of all my mistakes. I purposely miss shots on goals and make bad passes, so that they will be out of the way be- fore the actual game be- gins. Superstitious behav- ior also seems to be very dominant among theater people. The ritualistic patterns of these super- stitions that take place preceding 'a performance can thoroughly affect the mood and confidence of the players. Nikki Egan 111i explains one of these rituals amongst Players 58. There is no record of anyone breaking the Players circle, but if it ever was broken I sincerely doubt it would ever be recorded. We are a very superstitious group. Be- fore each show, each in- dividual crosses arms, al- ways right over left, and grasps the hands of those standing next to him. A few words are spoken, mostly by Seniors. The circle must never be bro- ken until the end. All the Players lift their right legs, hop three times, yell Break a leg! and turn to their right, breaking the circle. We can only say Break a leg , Good Luck is taboo among the Players 58. There are many long- lived superstitions, but there are also some new and trendy devel- opments. Some find themselves not being able to resist doing some of these to prevent some around rather than under ladders. For good luck, I swipe two fingers across the roof of a car when I go throughayellowlight and touch glass when I go over railroad tracks. I also have a Buddy Biancalana pin and baseball card that I carry around for good luck. Gina Lapp 1115 des- cribes some of her beliefs, Everytime one of my eyelashes falls out, I make a wish. And whenever I forget something and have to go back for it, I stop and count to ten, make a wish and then go back for it. I think that is an Irish superstition, she said, adding, and I AL- WAYS read my horo- scope! So, if you find your- self putting a penny in your shoe, throwing salt over your shoulder, or knocking on wood, don't feel alone. Whether taken seriously or for fun, most people share in some form of superstition. - - Kim Alley ? . 20 Design . . .

Joanie Gravino you walk up to a girl you know from your second hour who was lucky enough to have gotten tickets and, hoping for a bad review, ask, So, uh, how was the concert? just fabulous! I had third row seats! she en- thusiastically says. You wouldn't believe how in- credible it was! Oh, I can just about imagine, you stammer while you think, Great, just what I didn't need to know! Of course, U2 was not the only group who came to town over the summer and school year. Other groups who came to KC included Michael jack- son, Sting, Motley Crue, REM, Run-DMC, Def Leppard, Chicago, the Beastie Boys, Bryan Ad- ams, Boston, David Bowie, the Psychedelic Furs, Heart, I Whitney Houston, the Rainmakers, and at the end ofthe sum- mer, a collage of groups including Whodini, LL Cool I, and Douge Fresh, got together to put on Def Iam. The decision of which concerts students wanted to see and which ones they wanted to purposely miss, pretty much de- pended on their taste in music. Cost was a contrib- uting factor to some since a concert ticket's price can range anywhere from S15 to 51530, but most stu- dents said that the most they would spend on a ticket would be 525. Kris Lentz C12j said, I spent S35 on a Boston ll ticket because I wanted to see them so bad. It was just a phenomenal show and I knew it would be. But for any other concert, I'd pay fIS25. Most of the city's big concert arenas are locat- ed far away from CHS, but most students did not feel that it made much of dif- ference where the con- cert was held. lf the performer's worth it, then I don't care where it's at. When Bryan Adams was at Sandstone, it took me about two and a half hours to find the place because I'd never been there before, said Felice Dollman f'I'Ij. But the biggest prob- lem for most students was not the cost or the place of the concert, but rather getting the tickets them- selves. Many times con- certs were sold out an hour after they went on sale, or minutes, as in the case of U2. As Echo Lauer I'I0j said, Getting tickets is hard. I've got friends that go and stand in line two days before tickets for a con- cert go on sale. Even though most stu- dents weren't willing to stand in line for tickets, most agreed that what they went through to see and hear these groups, even at the time and fi- nancial expense, it was well worth it. Mary Symons f1'Ij said, I usually stand in line for about three hours for concert tickets but most of the ones I've been to were worth it.

However, the cast and crew pulled together to learn the oldest rule in the theater business . . . ' THE SH W lVl usTcao oN t's 2:45 pm. For most students the day is over, but for those in the cast of Anything Goes the day has just begun. Because of the 2.0 GPA requirement, leads had to be replaced six weeks into production making rehearsals longer and more demanding. Now, with only days until production stress levels are high and every- one is running on little sleep and alot less pa- tience. David Goode 1125 explained, Everyone gets stressed out as pro- duction draws nearer. We try to support each other, keep each other going. The cast is like one big family. Sir Evelyn 1Brian Tischer11255 ro- mances Reno 1Sonni Fort 11155 Being a family is how the cast of Anything Goes overcame what seemed to be a showstopping problem. Even with two leads having to be re- placed, the cast wasn't fazed. All it meant was that extra effort would be needed. This year Any- thing Goes got off to a slow start, but once we got it together it only got better and better. Even with the problems I feel that this could be the best year of production yet, said Vinita Karriker 1115. Hard work and extra effort isn't new to the cast. Cast members are dedicated to upholding the reputation of produc- ing good shows. This year O was no exception. Molly Gratton 1115 said, This year has definitely made us stick together and work with each other to produce a good show. I'm proud to be working with such neat people. lt's 9:00 pm and re- hearsal is drawing to a close. The cast is sprawled out on the stage relaxing, listening intently to the notes either criticizing or praising their perfor- mance. Individuals con- centrate on perfecting their own performance which, in turn, will bene- fit the cast and the show as a whole. The tradition is upheld. The show will go on! - - Amy Tonyes Billy Crockett 1Darrell Vann 11255 helps conduct a search for Moonface Martin, Public Enemy 1113.

In fact, some stu- dents even avoid going home if they know their parents, siblings oracom- bination will be there. But what do students do when they are home alone? Carla Irwin 1115, turns every television in the house on because, I'm always running around while trying to watch something. Lori Agnew 1125 said, I turn up the stereo real- ly loud because I can't al- ways do that when my family is home. However, some stu- dents like Mary Sue Hos- terman 1125 do things that are somewhat productive when they are home alone. I sometimes exer- cise, but I almost always put on a facial mud musk when I'm home alone be- cause it's too embarras- sing to do when ever- yone's home. Yessica Cadena 1105 said, I some- times make cards and send them to my friends in Mexico. But for Shannon Myers 1115, her most pro- ductive thing done on a regular basis is to eat. When I'm home alone, I eat because when people are around I won't eat as much. Although entertain- ing yourself when you're home alone is rarely diffi- cult, some students plan something extravagant while others may just re- lax and be a couch potato. But no matter what stu- dents choose to do, most will usually have fun. - - Christy Antone I L 1.

This excerpt from an average teenage note, the importance of which can be found somewhere be- tween the highest points of Maslow's Hierarchy and the list of things to do this weekend, stands as a genuine example of life in the boring zone during those long neverending school days.

The . 30 Design . . . Tami Singh hours are so boring that it's the only thing that will keep you awake. ex- plained Melanie Gold- man f1'lj. But has this age-old pastime received an un- worthy bad rap from teachers and selected groups of students, usual- ly of the male gender, ev- erywhere? It is true that notes may be written, re- ceived and responded to at some rather inoppor- tune moments and on oc- casion may be of frivolous or slanderish nature, but what is said will be said, the pen was just mightier, and usually more conve- nient, than the mouth. As a matter of fact, notes serve as a link be- tween seldom seen friends. They bring laugh- ter and smiles with praise or gratitude and if noth- ing else, they are a useful and easy information giv- ing or getting tool. The notes of today definitely go beyond the simple I love you or lhate you ste- reotype. Some people may think notes are stu- pid but they're just what you'd say anyway, com- mented Delinda Harrison 4105. Wesley Walker f12j added, I don't get into notes, but they're defi- nitely none of the teach- er's business. Whether or not notes are good or bad, contain fact or fiction, or should or shouldn't be, they will probably be around as long as the ballpoints keep rolling. just remem- ber, a note is nothing more than a letter minus the stamp and the envel- ope, so with all of today's hangups in society, don't get wrapped up in labels, just simply get wrapped up in every last juicy de- tail.

They may have the spiked hair with lots of hairspray and mousse that doesn't seem to move when they walk, or an outfit so different and unique that you have to blink and look again. And sometimes when they dress really wild, you look at them and think, 'Why do they dress like that?' or 'Where did they come up with that idea?' I get my ideas through cultural studies and trav- eling. My focal point is the third world such as Africa and Latin Amer- ica, said loe Gray 1125. Some students chose their styles from their sur- roundings, as Stephanie Shelton 1115, said, I see bits and pieces of differ- ent outfits, then I put them together to create my own look. However, one draw- back to dressing uniquely is being treated different- ly. Many students who make these fashion state- ments will agree that this treatment is common. Sometimes people like the way I dress, but other times they give me funny looks and put me down, said Beth Corben 1115. Although this treat- ment is common, it does not apply to all students. Studying in the library, Stephanie Shelton 1115 directs her attention to her sociology homework. Pho1o:Lori Tack 1 Openly, people don't treat me differently, but inwardly they're often in- timidated because I do dress differently, said Gray. Many times this treat- ment will affect their moods. When I'm hyper I dress wild, but when I'm mellow, I just throw something on, said Lynn Dhone 1125. For some people, how- ever, colors express their moods. Kris Ning 1105, said, If I'm not in a good mood, I wear black or al- most all dark colors, and if I feel good, I wear light- er, brighter colors. Although many differ- ent factors are consid- ered when everyone gets dressed in the morning, most students will agree that the way they dress is part of their personality. My styles are just part of me, kinda like a refIex, - said Shelton. - - Christy Antone ,X its ' ,.... 1 ., ,H few-W...W hw' my - W 7 Y 7 Z ? i Z 5 9 1 Z' l I 1 V K W Z ,W M ve M f . I A.

It's near the end of your high school career when you first realize that the future that always seemed so far away, quickly turns into that future that's just around the corner. You become aware that your today is rapidly beginning to affect your tomorrow, and the decisions you make now put a mark on how your life will be later. It's also then that you sud- denly become relieved and relaxed, or you sud- denly feel a slight chill run through your conscience, and most of all, you sud- denly start to care about what you've accom- plished-or not accom- plished-in your past-and how all this is going to dramatically affect your future. sometimes stimulating, step.

You're often forced to ride the bus to school. The view from the third floor window looks down upon a parking lot full of cars ranging in every size, shape, and color. You could most likely pick any student at random and find out they either own one of the many awaiting vehicles, or they've rid- den in one to or from school at some time. But for one class in particular, the honor of making their presence known in one of these automobiles is a sel- domly seen sight. Instead, there tends to be a single looming alternative to their transportation di- lemma. Everyone's seen the images of the hot, crowded school buses that are a nightmare for some, but a way of life for less fortunate others. The big long yellow taxis, wai- ting to be filled each early morning by bus stops ev- erywhere and everyday after school, are there for all, but they seem to exist especially for, and over- flow with, freshmen. 2 ff Doing his best to impress, Brian Tuttle 195 sports out one of his best outfits.

About 25 seniors went to Winter Park, Colorado to ski and others to Florida, Myrtle Beach, and South Padre Island.

These drivers, whose speedometers are lucky to reach 35 miles per hour, appear to either en- joy taking in every road- side attraction, or they are simply amused by the va- riety of angry faces that pass by.

Amy Terry 1125 said, It's stressful to try and hold down a job and at the same time do well in school. It's almost im- possible tofind time to do my homework since I work so much. But in addition to these unavoidable problems with school and parents, many students face stress in extra-curricular activ- ites they choose to partic- ipate in. After all, time and pressure together can be a stressful combi- nation. I'm always stres- sed out before a soccer game because I never know how I'm going to do. I try to do well, but what causes stress is the thought that my team- mates expect me to do well, said Rassul Fazelat 1105. Since stress affects al- most every student at some time or another, ev- eryone has their own way of handling their stress. Rachelle Rollins 1125 said, When I'm really stressed out, I go into my room, slam the door, turn the ra- dio up really loud, and start throwing things like my pillows or shoes. Nikki Edwards 1115 on the other hand, has vary- ing levels of stress, and how she handles each dif- ferent level differs. When I'm really stressed out, I hit things like my walls, but when it's got that bad, I just blow it off and try not to worry about it. Although stress is com mon among students, they are not the only oneg who have to handle stressful situations, Teachers, like Dana Daw- son handle stress too. l become really frustratet because it's hard to alwayl focus on the good aspectl of my classes. I sometimes tend to focus more on th bad aspects, that's when have to step back and re alize that most of my stue dents are good students. So, in the end, whethel stress comes from homei school, or work, the onl way to make life easy ist deal with it as best yot can. - - Christy Antonel Talking with the coach helpl Robb Montgomery 1105 an teammates think clearly durin a tense j.V. soccer game again I NOI'l1l l K.C.

Amid the hundreds of slamming lockers, screaming students, and screeching cars, you can always hear the familiar words, What's going on this weekend? ls anyone having a party? Though these ques- tions can be heard some weeks as early as Tuesday, it's typically a Friday con- versation. Finding ways to make the most of these two relaxing days is pretty easy. . 50 Design .. .

For Ni- cole Carramusa 1115, Looking for a party is the first thing we do on Friday nights because that's where people are!

Others considered dif- ferent options, such as movies, partying at 103rd, shopping, sleeping ,foot- ball games, Down Under, or Loose Park. However, weekends were not always fun and games. Employers have a habit of scheduling teen- agers during weekends, and activities like debate, band, and church groups can usurp quite a bit of your leisure time. Whether your week- ends are spent at the usual hangouts or just relaxing, it means doing what you want to do. lt's a time for letting loose and forget- ting about the slamming lockers, screaming teach- ers, and crowded halls you've left behind. - - Kathy Ceule l i ' 1 E l B 2?

Can any word or group of words rightfully capture the exact feeling or mood this state of mind in- volves? ls it a time and space especially designed to bewilder and enrage all those who dare be en- trapped by it, or is it sim- ply nothing butabrief pe- riod when the clock re- mains motionless for a lack of nothing better to do? Whether or not an- swers to these perplexing questions exist, the fact of boredom remains a part of life and one we all must deal with in our own way. To Carrie Garcia 1111, dealing with her bore- dom isn't always such an unproductive situation. Boredom is an escape from pressure. Accord- ing to Garcia, the time may not be the most ex- citing ever spent, but if nothing is found to do, that includes homework, jobs or anything else stressful. On the other hand, there are those who view boredom in a different manner from Garcia. Keili Cozort 1111 said, Being bored is like being tor- tured. All you can think of is getting it over with!

Bob Kelley U05 said, Sometimes at work it gets so boring that you wish they'd give you more to do. That can ap- ply to classes, too. Some students find certain clas- ses so dull that they wish for assignments. The issue itself may boil down to one main point. How bad do you really want something to do? Mindy johnson Q95 com- mented, lf you're bored enough, you can always find something to do. The things students do find to entertain them- selves cover a wide range. Out of those asked, watching t.v., and eating topped the list of alterna- tives to boredom and in- cluded inthe possibilities are sleeping listening to the radio, calling friends, doodling, writing notes and poetry and day- dreaming. Steve Powell f11j offered his remedy to the boredom blues, I just make a grilled cheese sandwichl Boredom can prove to fit many varying defini- tions. It can be anything the mind lets it be. But overall, in the scheme of things, life's creation called boredom never came attached with a guarantee of excitement, it only comes with an urge to defy it! That can apply to classes, too.

No sound can be heard but a bed- side alarm clock as it softly clicks off snooze. No feeling imagined could replace the warmth of and coziness of a bed and all its layers. This scene is one familiar to all students,butit especially ringsabell to those whose bell to start the day rang 55 minutes early every day. These gluttons for sleepy eyed days and shortened nights are the few and determined members of Opt Hour. One question that arises in connection with this early morning class is wondering what possesses any student to opt to forfeit sleep time to hit the books at those wee hours of dawn? Greg Damron 1105 explained, Sometimes I may have to force myself out of bed, but I need the class that I can't fit in my regular schedule. To some students, opt hour is a welcomed opportunity as Ben Schafer C115 said, It's not that big of an ordeal for me. It makes me more prepared for the rest of the day. On the other hand, there are those who express a less positive at- titude about the severe earliness and the shock of awakening to it. According to Bubba Allison 1105, Every morning is a struggle and I sometimes regret it! Another stu- dent added, I have to play games with myself and try and think of rea- sons to get out of bed. As demonstrated here, Opt Hour puts the squeeze on any lei- surely routine in the morning and adds to the work load at night. Stu- 58 Design . . . Tami Singh AKING SLEEP dents waiting for buses at 6:30 a.m. and lifting tired eyes to learning at 7:00 bear the burden of less sleep- ing hours and wind up paying the price. josh Kovich 4115 admits, I end up sleeping a lot during other classes. One price all students will soon be paying in the future revolves around next year's seven hour day. Though students opinions on the is- sue vary, one thing is for sure: ev- eryone will have to cope with an ad- ditional hour next year. Karen Wolfe Q115 said, It's fine for getting credits but I'll just take a study hall. lim Flucke C115 added, I wish that I could be gone before it happens. Others wish that the opt hour system could stay in place. I took opt hour for two years and wound up with a whole lot of credits, said Schafer. But now that they're mak- ing us have seven hours, I've run out of classes to take next year. We were just guinea pigs for their system. All in all, in its two year stay at CHS, opt hour has proven to be an effective way to meet the require- ments and needs of the student body. While waking up to it, the streets may be a little darker, the morning a little harsher or the bed may be emptied too soon, but re- member, there are always those few extra moments while taking roll, passing out papers, or possibly even listening to a lecture, to finish those lingering interrupted dreams, shat- tered by ani early morning ritual called opt hour. - - Jana East P Using a few spare minutes in Opt hour, teacher Maggie Fisk organizes her desk to SIEIFI the day.

Lockers open and shut and the chatter between friends who haven't talked with each other since last night on the telephone gets louder and louder. The five minute bell rings and stu- dents begin to scurry into class set- tling in for a good nap during first hour. At 8:00, the bell rings again and this time, the halls empty and become silent immediately just as if a giant began to sweep the crowds of people into the doorways. The next flux of students, bet- ter known as tardies, begin to shuf- fle into the school by ones and twos. The slightly late race in, hoping that their first hour teacher will go easy on them and blow off the tardy. The really late amble in, accepting their fate. They wander into the halls, first going to their lockers, getting what ever they need and then they slink to their classes. As they enter the classroom, the teacher greets them by asking for an admit slip and as a result, an extra five or ten minutes of the student's time is spent wai- ting in line at the attendence office. Paula Crow, attendance secre- tary, confesses, The admit slip sys- tem is time consuming. Usually the line for tardies is out into the hall and slacks off after ten minutes, however, sometimes it can last until 8:35. According to Crow, the sys- tem is designed to communicate to the teacher if the absence or tardy Waiting patiently for an admit slip to class, Phillip Walker 1101 and Rebekah Lacer 191 stand in line in the attendance office at Paula Crow's desk.

Teacher Stephania Tews, said that the most aggravating thing about the slips is that, they don't really mean anything, but you have to send the student upstairs so that he misses more class and falls farther behind. After the student has received his pink slip, he trudges back to class knowing that when he returns, he will need to provide his teacher with a creative reason for being late. Upon arrival to the class he is imme- diately put on the spot for an excuse in front of the rest of the class. Katie Kinsella 1111 said, I usually say I got in a wreck, my mom didn't get me up on time, traffic, or a flat tire. Tony Harris 1111 just says, I was talk- ing to my friend. According to Tews, the excuses are not usually very creative. Crow agreed with this, though she once had a student tell her, I was late because I had a large zit and needed a lot of time to cover it with makeup. Finally, the person by this time tired of walking around, stumbles to his chair and settles in. After open- ing his book up to the right page and unfolding his incomplete as- signment, he peers up at the clock With seconds to spare, Kathie Finestead 1111 walks briskly to the south doors.

Why did he even bother to show up for first hour? lerry Weaver 1111 said, If I'm going to be late ten minutes, I just go out to breakfast and don't show up. Kinsella replied, I go out to eat at Shoney's. After listening attentively for a few minutes to the teacher's lec- ture, the student decides he needs his beauty sleep. Using his book as a pillow, he lays his head down and takes a cat nap. Boyd Green 1111 said, it is too early for us to be awake. David Graves 1121 said, no one in their right mind is up yet. Eventually, the bell rings at 8:55 a.m. and the students file out of class and. into the halls. Lockers open and shut, and talk between friends who haven't seen each other since be- fore school started grows louder than ever. As the bell rings, students dash for their classrooms and before the bell stops ringing, the halls are again empty. Everyone is in their classrooms except for those tardy students who now need to invent an excuse for being late to second hour. - - Greg Kalik .- f L .fiip 4 + 135' .iv , , . ,gag wfv 4, '- QQ X ? .'

Melissa Mallory Laid back and having fun has been the philosophy of the Spanish Club this year. Though they haven't had a throng of activities throughout the year, when they were together they had fun. Elizabeth Ridgeway 1111 said of her first impression of the club, I thought it would be fun and would be a good way to meet people. Tony Harris 1111 agreed, It was a fun way of meeting people, that you've never met before. The first activity, for the new sponsor, Carol Zagorniak, who took over this year after William Scott re- tired, was the building of the Home- coming float. She was a bit surprised and said, Kids came and worked and I didn't even have to offer extra cred- it. According to Zagorniak, at first they just came because they wanted to ride on the float but later, they just wanted to get the float done. The float's theme was a take off of this year's hit movie La Bamba. The job of getting money to take a trip to Epcot Center in Orlando, AID BACK AND Florida was next on the list. The Spanish Club and the other for- eign language clubs sold candy and Tiffany's Attic tickets to raise money for the students who were planning on going. Zagorniak commented, The kids that really wanted to go put forth the most effort and sold the most. Tammi Sabatka 1111 said she wanted to go because it would be fun and a good learning experience. lenni- fer Pottinger 1111 said, I wanted to go because I love Florida. The laid back attitude of the club was obvious. Harris said, we take it easy, if it gets done it gets done but if it doesn't, no big deal. This attitude might have af- fected what they did. Antonette Borbely 1121 said, I think after Homecoming was over, we need- ed more people together, more activities and to get more people involved with the club. Maybe if more people un- derstand this, the club would have more members. After all, divertirse y el pozo de la vidaes el club espanol. --Greg Kalik ag.. .,.. i 1 ff If ll , f i l Q V X, WJ l 1 I l l I i l .K Rachelle Rollins U27 points out a vacationing Spot in Venezuela, South America during a Spanish Club meeting.

Photo: Jeff Field The cold, rainy Satur- day morning didn't exactly fit the stereotype of a quaint Midwestern rodeo parade. But then again, the American Royal -the largest rodeo, horse show, and livestock exhibition assembled in one package anywhere - could hardly be described as quaint . And to be the honor band of that prestigious show's parade is no small feat, either. The Marching Yellowjackets were that honor band. And as they performed in the parade they lived up to that title, as they did through- out their short season. With very few home football games and little outside exposure- the American Royal being the ex- ception- the band had a limited number of shows but a lot of variety and imagination. ir MARCHING BAND - Front row: David Pedersen, Mindy Smith, Sec- Glld Row: Matt Bolch, Chris Martin, Dennis Nedblake, Matt Whittem- We, Danny Dumit, Brian Van Slyke, johnny Kartsonis, Tony Acock, i Eric Bessenbacher, Kulvinder Dulku, Craig Alexander, Greg Damronp Third Row: Christy Cagg, Melissa Noland, jenny Walton, Stacy Hart- man, Tracy Keith, Vickie Grewell, Leslie Starcher, Felicia Spratling, Melissa Brauner, Becky Neel, Dana North, Melissa Harris, Sandra Ru- UYBU, Gina Brown, Christy Staley, Lindy MCC-aughy, Natalie Riley: Third Row: Michael Burnett, David Filby, Greg Milliron, Kris Ning, lon Cook, Lance Turpin, Vickie Roudebush, Betty Io Scott, Eric Randle, Anna Thomas, Dawn Gardner, Francis Beggs, Kim Hockeitz Fourth Row: Bill Latteman, Malcolm Edwards, Steve Cook, jerry Ru- nyan, Mark Shipman, Terry Wiseman, john Reliford, Donna Huskis- son, Tamarra Woodling, Yessica Cadena, Tom Stone, Amber Linnartz, jason Shalton, David Kubaykog Fifth Row: jim Elucke, Howard Sacks, Shayne Yeisley, Donna Smith, Phyllis Pair, Chris Reeser, Eric Seeley, Aaron Byrd, Nick Edwards, Brian Yamada, jim Lichtenthaler, Chris Gumminger, Tessa Sheehan, Nora Woods, Lisa Bergman, Sixth Row: john Nennetts, Chris Volkert, Brian Smith, joe Gravinog Last Row: Kraig Kamp, Rocky Kloth, Allison Hoy, Susanna Owings, Becky McMi- chael, jenni Bennett, Karen Wolfe, Nikki Edwards, Sheri Brumback, Michelle Staats, jennifer Sloan, Marcia Moore, Lori Rice, Debbie Bar- hum, Tina Caplan, jeremy Hake, Matt Deatherage, Don Shaffer. orsor iviusio We played a full variety of mu- sic, from the old English style of Trumpet Voluntary to La Bamba, said Drum Major David Pedersen 4125. Not only were the selections diverse, but the formations on the football field were larger and more challenging than previous years, said David Filby Q'I1j. Those factors combined to present performances which, ac- cording to some band members, outclassed those from years past. Michael Burnett i'l2j said, The halftime shows were better than earlier ones. Much of the band's success is attributable to hard work. Pedersen said, We accomplished a lot in a small amount of time. Outside the class, Thursday night practices were the only sessions needed for per- fecting the musicians' exhibitions. Don Shaffer, the director, also deserved credit for the band's ex- cellence. One band member de- scribed Shaffer as one of the great- est directors in Missouri. And for all their imagination, variety, and excellence on the field, most band members think it could have lasted longer. julie jakobe i12j summed it up by saying, It was a fun season, since it was my last, but it was a short one. - - Melissa Mallory Marching Band 65 I 8- II, Jewelry I 8 Il, Clothing ll, Drawing, Design Cer- Graphics, Basic, Personal Keyboarding, Sociology, Relations, Creative Writing, Chemistry Communica- Horticulture, Comp.

These, give or take a thief or two, each help to comprise Concert Band, a group that fits under no certain heading but has one certain goal, to be the best. The main goal of Concert Band this year, as in the past, was the aim to go to Contest, held at Warrens- burg, and create a favorable impres- sion to reward the work and effort on their music. But such high aims don't fall in to the laps of just any flute, tuba or saxophone player. Two pieces must be practiced, perfected and confi- dently presented to anxious judges rating the performance on a scale of 1-4, with a 'I being the best. The music is really hard, and the prac- tices get old, but if we rate high, it's worth it, said David Pedersen t12j. But beyond the glitter and hype of contest, Concert Band also strives for perfection at the art of giving concerts. With practices each morning in first hour, this band manages to accept each tedious note along with every revelation of beautifully tuned harmony. Chad Middleton QIOJ said, lt's more than just a class to get an E in. Your work pays off. Underneath it all though, exists what may be the true core of their secret to success.

DECA, which stands for Distributive Educational Clubs of America, is mostly a competitive club, though the name may not give that indication. The club is made up of four committees. The Social Commitee, DECA Letter, Civic Consciousness, and a Fundraising Committee. The Social Committee mainly works on things like their Homecoming float and any parties they may have, said loanie Gravino 1125, secretary. Gravino also said that the DECA Letter Committee is in charge of de- ciding what the criteria is for stu- dents to earn a DECA letter each year. The Civic Consciousness Committee is the committee in charge of helping, organizing and working on projects for the com- munity, said Bill Robison 1125, DECA's president. Finally, the Fund Raising Com- 70 Design . . . Regina Sheridan sales which helps raises money for organizations like Muscular Dystro- phy, said Dometria Coleman 1125 treasurer. Another major aspect of DECA is the national competition held at Bannister Mall each February. The competition centers around several different areas including marketing, retail, apparel and accessories and civic consciousness. There are three levels of competition. First is the District level at Bannister Mall, and winners then proceed to State com- petition and finally Nationals, said Chandra Everette 1125 vice-presi- dent. When asked about how well she thought the members would do, Everette said, I think those members who are sincere about the competition will do well. All in all, most DECA members agree that the club provides a fun- damental understanding of the marketing and the business world, and helps prepare them for their fu- ture careers. Summing up his posi- tion, Robison said, DECA has taught me a lot about marketing, free enterprise and what it can do for my future. - - Christy Antone 1 W 1 4 l 1, 3 1 S Q t i i i 1 I E, E Preparing to leave for Vo-tech classes, Me- i gan Rawlings 1123, Liesl Braun 1113 and Britton Graves 1123 board the bus.

Your demanding chemistry teacher, who's been warning you about an upcoming exam, is actually going to fsurprisell have one . . . to- morrow. The problem with this is that you, thinking he would put it off,didn't bother to study any ofthe last chapter, thus leaving two op- tions, cram and hope for the best, or fail without much effort.

Other students seemed to find cramming a bad habit. As DeShana Dottrey C105 said, I try to make time to study for each test because cram- ming doesn't always get you an above average grade.

This period was most commonly used for studying, sleeping, and socializ- ing but some students used this time to go to club meetings such as SGA, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and Natural Hel- pers. In addition, some students helped out their fellow classmates by tutoring them in math and sci- ence classes., Some classes were only offered during fourth hour, also, so students wishing to take these classes had no choice but to have them during that hour. These classes were Advanced Publications, Acting, Advance De- sign, and Aerobics. At the begin- ning of fourth hour, Vo-Tech stu- dents who had the afternoon shift, left after they ate lunch. But no matter what class stu- dents had fourth hour, it was defi- nitely different from their other classes. 1 lntrigued by the plant life, Phillip Spallo C111 Bill Robison 1121 and Lela Valdiva U21 help enjoys studying horticulture in the green- each other study for an accounting test.

Membership in German Club reached a high this year with a total of 43 members in all. The increase was primarily brought upon by the large number of freshmen that took interest in the club. They may have been the youngest, but their age didn't seem to keep them from adding to the club's goals and good times. As Sean Ferguson U25 said, They were a big help with the float. They were the best pompers! The freshmen, along with new members from every class, were definitely a welcomed addition to the club, and as the year progress- ed, the numbers began to show a real advantage. As more friendships developed, a change in attitude oc- curred, bringing out more support and a better morale when facing the fun and the serious side of the club. Club sponsor Claudette Bartle pointed out, With a large number of people, there's a lot more partici- pation in events and a greater de- gree of enthusiasm. Their events ranged in every- thing from Homecoming and their own Octoberfest at senior member, lonathan Lehr's house, to an Octo- ber visit to the Renaissance Festiva P I Getting ready to make the most of the day, Lylah Burn C95 and Amanda Solomon Q95 enter the R6f'lalSS2lflC6 Festival.

Mike Terry UU summed the year up when he said, German Club was never this popular, but now we've taken over. We used to be the few, but the proud.

Vickie Roudebush HE CHANGE worked with an administration that's going to stay, said Aaron Ra- cine l12j, president, referring to the frequency of CHS administrative changes in the past years. This gave us a closer communication with the office, which was one of our main goals, said Racine. Monthly meetings attended by members and principal Dr. lohn Burke brought changes such as a 55,000 remodeling project to all main bathrooms, approved by the School Pride Committee and Vice- President David Yamada 1125. The bathrooms were in a state of disre- pair. An overhaul was long over- due, said Yamada. Bond money paid for some changes and SCA covered other costs. ln November, Students con- tributed clothes and food for the needy to make the drives the big- gest projects of the year! said Vice- President Angela Smith i12j. Another carried out plan was Center Cinema, a night of watch- ing movies at school on january 15, co-sponsored by SCA and Drill Team. The movies, Summer School and The Secret ofMy Success drew reasonably large crowds on this ini- tial project. As Racine said, We sponsored it to get students in- volved in school activites other than during school hours. When racial friction increased at one point in the year, SCA was called in to help. Attention was also given to the student climate situation, not only to the racial issue, but to classes, re- lationships, and an all around better enviroment, said Smith. To add to that, SGA and Nick Cruz f'l2j helped organize VOICES, a cultural aware- ness club designed to unify groups better and help with Brotherhood Week, part of Black History Month. Whether it was assisting with feelings or changing the physical enviroment, improvements were made with the help of SGA, our government who really is here to help. - - Kathy Ceule , .mqwuiam 'w'umfg1yl'. rw: wt f ' flllllgfwnmif ff --.

Orga- nized by counselor Alice Gene Meacham and Nurse lan Parks, all students were given the opportuni- ty to apply for the Hi-Step program. Those accepted then attended a two-day training session to pre- pare them to travel to the district el- ementary schools and speak with fifth graders. Among the subjects included in the counseling program were alcohol and drug abuse, self- esteem, peer pressure, communi- cation and relationships. The high school students not only discuss these topics with the elementary kids, but they also serve as a role model, which is good be- ENDING A HAND cause those that are accepted are committed to a drug and alcohol free lifestyle, said Meacham. Tracie Allan 1121, a third year member, felt it was important for the youngsters to see the positive ways of having fun. l don't believe it's necessary to have drugs or alco- hol to have fun. But l want to show the kids that's it's their choice. The message seems to be work- ing, too. The response from the ele- mentary kids is encouraging and makes the Hi-Steppers feel what they're doing is worthwhile. As Carrie Walker 1111 said, Most of the kids in my group last year called me and wrote me all summer than- king me for telling them about what can happen if they used drugs. lt made me feel good. As Club President Malcolm Ed- wards 1121 said, Hi-Step has been a wonderful way to help prevent fu- ture chemical abuse problems. - - Sonya Cox ff ' ff' ffjffmcx I ,mg gwwya, WW 7. , ff W ' WW 4 X f Xgwgy . y 1 ' ,ffWOf04Qfc5 39' - I 751 . i H 91 K M 0'4 467 fr?

Students fill the halls waving to friends, and making weekend plans. Lockers slam and students head for their fifth hour classes. But for students like Tifani Moot 1121, the question of where to go fifth hour wasn't an easy one. Both AP Government and Poli- tics and AP Chemistry are offered during fifth hour. Being advanced classes, they both have the incen- tive of added preparation for col- lege as well as extra grade points. Says Moot, I wanted to take both classes because it would look better on my records than blow-off clas- ses. I chose AP Government and ORN BETWEEN Politics because I did better in that last year than Chemistry. But I still would have liked to have taken AP Chemistry. And while Moot is in AP Gov- ernment and Politics, David Ya- mada CIZI is upstairs performing an experiment. He too, had to make a choice. My choice wasn't too hard to make. I decided to take AP Chemistry because Chemistry will help me more in my future. Though both Yamada and Moot had to choose, both are glad that they took AP classes. Both agree that AP classes take extra time and hard work but as Moot says, AP classes offer more privileges and opportunities. It's a good expe- rience. - - Amy Tonyes il Bill Van Dan Elzen f'I2Igets frustrated with his David Yamada 1125 mixes chemicals while he chemistry experiment.

For the first year, coaches Wayne Brown and Chris Adams- Prost team taught both debate clas- ses full time. Though many schools have assistants who help with the coaching duties, we are one of two schools in the city with a team teaching arrangement. ironically, Prost is married to one ofthe other team teachers, Howard Prost of Park Hill. Brown, who's taught at CHS for the past 25 years, was honored by the NFL in June as only the eigh- teenth coach in the nation to re- ceive the four diamond key. Prost, after student teaching under Brown in 1984, joined the staff and began helping with the debate program the following year. y I must admit I approached it at first with fear and apprehension, said Brown. It was like exploring unknown territory. The situation had its advan- Working in conference room one ofthe me- dia center during debate class, coach Chris Adams-Prost helps Iohn Newton 1115 find a definition.

There was more time for individual instruc- tion, and they could divide time more equally between experienced and novice debaters. When both Prostand Brown experienced the death of a parent during the year, the other kept the class on track. ln short, the advantages far outweigh the confusion of having two teach- ers. I think it's been wonderful, said Prost.i Students get more per- sonalized attention and benefit from a different style of coaching. Debate students find the different viewpoints helpful to their own performances. Agreeing with this, Brown said I offer some degree of experience while she offers some degree of youth. We complement each other's teaching styles very well. NFL members seem to be pleased with the team teaching ar- rangement too, as Tom Hunter l9i said, We've got the conservative point of view from Mr. Brown and the exciting side from Ms. Prost.

However, at Center, things are different. For the third year in a row, the responsi- bilities of the Searchlight produc- tion have been entirely on the staff's shoulders. Accomplishments were still felt even over the frustations and re- ponsibilities of doing the whole pa- per. As managing editor Melissa Gurin 1111 said, It wouldn't feel like a total student production if we didn't do it ourselves. Not only is the Searchlight a class, it's also a preparation for the future. It's good experience for those going to go into the field of journalism. It gives the student an idea of the whole process, said Matt Loomis 1121. Though a good opportunity, Nick Kuecker 1121 feels that there is one setback to producing their own paper. We could have more cre- N SEARCH OF ative graphics like curved lines and angled headlines if we sent the pa- per out to be published. The problem of people not be- ing wiling to answer questions is an- other. The only way to get stu- dents to talk is to bring up their in- terests, said Mindy Smith 1111. By not relying on outside help, students must meet further obliga- tions. For some that means staying late after school with advisor Mary Lu Foreman, Graphic Arts teacher Larry Bradshaw, and giving up free time. Also under Bradshaw's supervi- sion is the Printing l class that actual- ly does the offset lithography, pre- press, and printing for the newspa- per.

However, many students just look forward to going home, or at least getting out of school for the S THE DAY CLOSES, day. i By sixth hour, I'm not con- cerned with what the teacher is say- ing, I'm just concerned with getting out of here, said Deena Lang t12j. r t . I , l UC' , y Deena Being in school during sixth hour is the same type of feeling that you get when you stay for an entire football or baseball game, even though the score isn't close. Sure, it's sort of your duty to stick around, and finish what you started, but your heart just won't be in it. AWanting and wishing for school to end is not an uncommon attitude for students during sixth hour, but TION TENDS TO DIMINISH many just need to take a break and relax. By the time sixth hour comes around, I just never have any energy left, said Deanna Bledsoe t12j. But for some, lack of attention during sixth hour doesinot usually affect them. In fact, some students enjoy their sixth hour classes the most. For instance, Sean Ferguson f12j, who has Chemistry sixth hour, said My sixth hour class was inter- esting, that's why I stayed at school almost everyday. Gretchen Bieber f11j said that she really doesn't have time to think about the clock during sixth hour because, Sometimes I'm so in- volved in what the teacher is saying, that I forget about the time until the last five minutes of class, then my at- tention focuses on the clock. Yes, time must fly when you're having fun. - - Christy Antone During sixth hour, Eric Bessenbacher Q10j doodles to pass time.

During the course of the year, you spend an awful lot of time in class. 10,340 minutes in each hour, to be exact. However, of all classes during the day, the one in which you're most likely to skimp out on time is sixth hour. After all, school offers many sixth hour interruptions. Once a month, sixth hour is shortened for pep assemblies. In addition, sports teams who have to travel long dis- tances to schools often use part of sixth hour to get a head start on the road. This doesn't include the many debate tournaments that have stu- dents leaving right after fifth hour. But what about ditching? On some of the nicer days, students may decide to sneak out of classes and go somewhere to enjoy the weather. Once out of school, few would bother to come back for a sixth hour class, unless the class had cash incentives or something. The same principle usually applies to or- thodontist or doctor appointments during the day. After all, few escap- ees ever voluntarily return to pri- sons, right? Finally, sometimes even Moth- er Nature gets into the act. On scor- ching hot summer days, or when heavy snow is blocking traffic and school buses, we sometimes catch a break and get dismissed 55 min- utes early. So how long did you spend in class this year?

Not only are they all very talented people, but are also as close as a family. The unity between the mem- bers of Gang , as it is affectionately called by members resembles that of famous family singing groups like the Van Trapp's of The Sound of Music, or the Partridge Family. Though only two Gang member are actually related, they feel closer. The sponsor, Alice Gene Mea- cham, is even referred to as Mom . They began calling her this because a long time ago, there was an article in the Star about Gang that said she was a motherly type figure who gave members motherly glances as they performed. They go to her with problems as well as to share good news and happiness. The members usually do special things together, such as go out after concerts. Tracie Allan 1121 said, I feel close to other Gang members because we are so dependent on each other. There are so few of us that without one, there is some- thing missing. 87TH STREET GANG: FIRST ROW Tracie Allan, Carrie Walker, jennifer Walton, jill Allan, Laura Goode, Second Row David Goode, Adam Fecht, Chris Gumminger, ORE THAN SINGING Alice Gene Meacham explains the closeness of the family . They start out as twelve different people with their own likes and music prej- udices. Gang is more than singing and picking out music. They realize that they have to get along and lis- ten to other peoples music. They end up learning to be tolerant of each other and sensitive to each others feelings. They cooperate with each other and have become a family. Gang sings everything from pop to country music in about 35 performances a year at shopping malls, nursing homes, club meetings and school functions. lason Bradley U25 said he looks forward to the weekly practices. It makes you want to go to school on Thursdays. After I graduate, I'll miss Gang so much I'll want to come back. Maybe some day they'll plan a big mongo family reunion ... - - Kim Alley V Steve Bridges fill strums his guitar thought- fully as he listens to instructions.

However, the inner circle of dedicated Chess Club members know that it doesn't mat- ter how you play the game-the Chess Club's primary goal is to win. lt's no more Mr. Nice Guy in a tweed jacket and bow tie, said lonathan Lehr 1121, president. We're out to win, win, win. Our motto used to be Everybody should have fun. Now it's Second stinks. To promote their competitive spirit, Chess Club took the rare op- portunity to enter the Shawnee Mission East tournament in Sep- tember. lt was great fun, said Vice-president David Yamada f12l. We went five rounds against other schools, many of whom had ran- kings. Since we traditionally haven't gone to Chess tournaments, it's be- come a new excursion for us. We're broadening our horizons. Another area which brings out the Chess Club's drive to win is SGA's annual Spring Fling competi- tion. During this time, membership 98 Design . . . Matt Haun phenomenon, Lehr said, Since there's no dues, everybody's a member of Chess Club until they denounce it. Around Spring Fling, people tend to realize this and take advantage of membership's many opportunities. To help prepare for the com- petitions, Chess Club practices ev- ery Tuesday after school in the me- dia center. During these sessions, core members play chess and pre- pare for the next chance at compe- tition. We're working on becom- ing lean, mean fighting machines, said Lehr. We're instituting a pro- gram of Weightlifting, aerobics, swimming and nutrition. Though their efforts don't al- ways result in major victories, mem- bers find that the motivation win- ning offers keeps them going. As Yamada said, Though it all depends on the members' drive and deter- mination to succeed, I think that in the future, we'll go to more tourna- ments and keep on winning! - - jeff Field As sponsor Bob Brillhart watches, jonathan Lehr 1125 makes a move during a Chess Club meeting.

As the new inductees to the National Honor Society held their candles and recit- ed the pledge, the honor extended was more than just another achieve- ment to list on a transcript. Rather, it was a statement of approval of four aspects of the students' per- sonality. The first step for the '88 induc- tees began on the afternoon of No- vember 4, as eleven students were tapped during their sixth hour clas- ses to attend a private welcoming party in the cafeteria. Eight juniors and three seniors were selected from a pool of applicants by a faculty advisory council to join CHS' most exclusive organization. NHS is basically an honor club, said julie jakobe f12j. I'm happy for the people who made it, but the people who didn't should understand that there are four basic requirements. The requirements are based on the NHS standards of excellence in leadership, scholar- ship, service and character. Addi- tionally, candidates must be a junior or senior and maintain a 3.6 C-PA. 4 During the fundraiser for St. jude's Research Center, Michael Burnett 112j bowls at King Louie East. Photo: Craig Peltzie ELECTIVE HONOR members, the society keeps busy with other projects, as well. They participated in a scholar bowl in No- vember, bowled for St. jude's Re- search Center in january, and helped organize a school-wide blood drive in April. But the high- light of each academic year is the annual induction ceremony. On january 6, the inductees and their parents were treated to music from the 87th Street Gang, speeches on the four areas of honor, and the dignified candle- lighting ceremony before repeating the pledge that made them official members. Sponsors Lisa Timmons and judy Porter worked hard to insure a degree of success in each of the NHS activities. The biggest problem was getting people to the meetings, due to the overcommittment of many NHS members, involvement which ranged from debate, cheer- leading, and sports to journalism, Chess Club and the Play. Those who missed getting tapped in November should look into applying their junior or senior year. As Marcia Moore f12j said, People should want to be in it be- cause NHS is a group of achievers!

Officially, Key club stands for Ki- wanis Educating Youth named after the adult Kiwanis club. But is that all that Key Club stands for, or is it more than meetings at school every Monday night at 6:30 p.m.? Most importantly, Key Club stands for ARING AND However, caring does not start with a K 1depending on how well you spell5 and and does not start with an E and Fun does not start with a Y, but instead of Key club, CAF Club might be a better name. After all, caring for others and having fun are what this club is all about. The fun and service usually re- sult in special memories for Key Club and those who were helped. julie jakobe 1125 President said that she would most remember, All the people that need a lot of help and that we can help. The caring could not even be measured by the members since no one activity could be decided upon as most important. For instance, Ben Schafer 1115 said, The day we raked all the leaves for the families with disabled children was important. Ben Schafer 1115 cools off with a Slice and tuna fish sandwich while talking with Howard Sacks 1115 during a Key Club meeting. Photo.- Eddie Gaffney Liesl Braun 1115 said, Toys for Tots was helpful because it gave children who wouldn't normally have a chance to get toys, a chance. In the quest for service and fun, other ac- tivities were continously being ex- plored by the club. Not only were their activities to help others but also to have fun. As jim Flucke 1115 said, There were fun activities such as movies, sports events and softball. The Key Club played a game of softball against the adult club in the fall and lost by one run. Flucke said, lt was a major dis- appointment. The club has accomplished much in the weekly meetings and an activity after many of the meet- ings. Not only does the constant motion set Key club apart from most clubs, there are other reasons. Braun said, We have diversity, we do things not only for the benefit of the school, but for the benefit of the community as well. The caring goes a bit beyond helping others but also helping themselves. Molly Gratton 11 15 said, The fact that we go help others and doing things for people makes me feel good. jakobe agreed. Doing things for people who need our ser- vices makes you feel really good, she said. What does Key club stand for? It stands for Kiwanis Educating Youth. What does Key Club mean? lt means caring for others and hav- ing fun in the process! - - Greg Kalik Key Club: Front Row: Mike Burnett, Melissa Mallory, Liesl Braun: Second Row: Karen Wolfe, Molly Gratton, julie jakobe, Matt Haun, Lisa Bergman, Third Row: Dan Moss, Laura Thomas, Ed Sturevantg Fourth Row: Bill Hatcher, Howard Sacks, Dania Carty, Susan Richards, jim Flucke, Chuck Edwardsg Back Row: Bob Weber, Nina Creasy, Mary Sue Hosterman, Kei Katsunuma, Angee Raueiser, Ben Schafer. f 6 Here are a few activities Key Club participated in this year: 1.

As her eyes scan the parking lot, a light in her head clicks on and a small grin crosses her lips. She's just had a very familiar experience, she's just reliv- ed a memory. Memories are a very impor- tant part and special part of life, said lulie Bukaty 1125. These unfor- gettable moments that make smiles or draw tears are all the past ever becomes, and they're guaranteed a lifetime with no returns. A first kiss, the first day of high school, a special holiday, a favorite vacation with friends or even the first break-up all left an impression on life one way or the other. The best memories are the ones that keep making you laugh! said Kyle Blaser 1125. Everything eventually becomes a memory whether it be happy or painful. Time, and the people and places in it change almost unno- ticed until we search to remember what used to be. Sometimes we want things to stay instead of having to be a memo- ry as Mike Casey 1125 explained, My best memory is just being at the Lake of the Ozarks with all my friends. Other times we wish things would quickly become a memory. Tony Acock 1125 explained, I cried in sixth grade when my dog died.

With so many to choose from, seniors have to make important choices as time is running out on their high school years . . IT TAKES NOTHEFI LOOK SENIOFIS ollege info: how do seniors choose? College decisions: They affect every senior, but for most seniors, these decisions begin their junior year. Pamphlets, flyers and general college information start to pour into almost every students' home. I started receiving college informa- tion about the middle of my junior year, said Marcia Moore 1125. Another senior, Angela Phil- lips said, After I took the ACT dur- ing my junior year is when I started receiving college information. But reasons why students chose to go to college varied from student to student. For Mathew Morrell f'l2jl, he felt that it would be benefi- cial to have training in a certain area. Bussing tables all of your life doesn't cut it. Dawn Perlingiero Q'l2j wants to go to college because, it gives you more opportunities in life and for your career. Many students, feel it's essen- tial to have a good education to help you get a good job when you're out of school. College is important to me because I couldn't get anywhere without it, said Sean Marcy 1125. But when seniors choose a col- lege, there are many factors to con- sider. For instance, deciding wheth- 112 Design . . . Regina Sheridan er to go to college in or out of state is a major decision. Sean Marra Q12j said, I plan on staying in Missouri because it costs too much to go out of state. Moore, on the other hand, is planning to stay in Missouri for a dif- ferent reason. I'm staying in Mis- souri because I hope to attend the six year medical program at UMKC. l But for Morrell, his plans to go out of state. l'm leaving Missouri for a place that, to me, is much more spectacular. Seniors also have to decide if they are going to live on campus or stay at home. I'm living on campus because I'd rather live there than at home, said Perlingiero. Michelle Menkhus f12jl plans to live on campus too. I'll live on campus because I have an automatic admission to a sorority, so I'll prob- ably live in the house. Although the decision to go or not to go to college is a big one, all seniors must make a choice. But for Moore, her decision is already made. I'm definitely going to col- lege because I want to get ahead in- life. - - Christy Antone I Tamma Clark 4123 and Angela Philips 4123 look at the selection of college ads posted in front of the office.

Thanks to her father's position on the Rugby Board of America, Seymour got to tag along with him for three and a half weeks in Austra- lia and New Zealand over the sum- mer. For Seymour, the experience held a few surprises. I didn't ex- pect Australia to have such large cit- ies. I knew Sydney was big, but not Melbourne and Brisbane. She also said that while the cities were some- times as big as New York, they were always much cleaner and 980!0 of the people I met were ex- tremely friendly.

Seymour said she was grateful to have had the experience because she enjoys meeting new people and viewed the city of Brisbane, Austra- lia as a place she'd like to call home someday.

A variety of feelings are shared by graduating Seniors con- cerning their future. Some of these feelings show confidence, while others show confusion. Entering a new phase of life can be an exciting, yet confusing time . . . There seems to be a collection of moments in our lives that conjure up feelings of insecurities, chal- lenges, threats, and anticipation. Those feelings that accumulate around our education can start back as far as learning to walk or talk. For Seniors in High School, their accu- mulated education is about to allow them to enter yet another stretch of life. For some, graduation is an an- ticipated moment, for others dread or fear might better describe their feelings. When asked if they're mentally ready to graduate, Darrell Vann 1125 answered, Yes, because l've spent most of my life preparing for the moment to finally walk across that stage on graduation day. On the other hand, some stu- dents are more reluctant to leave the comfy confines of high school. Fred Stoaks112I said, l'm not really ready for the real world. Even though not everyone considers themselves mentally ready to graduate, most Seniors have said that they know essentially what they're going to do after grad- uation and that there have been many classes that will help them lat- er in life. Darryl Youngblood 1123 sums up his overall attitude by say- ing, Nobody knows everything, but I think I know enough for right now. - - Kim Alley Awww Working hard Laura Wagener 1125 tries to complete a program.

He then proceeds to the au- ditorium where the movie is being shown. Picking a seat in the middle row, he begins to relax as various commercial slides run across the screen. As more people stream into the theatre, the lights begin to dim sig- naling the start of the show. just as he's about to slide down in his seat GOT QUESTIONS? 1. This student was born in Ber- muda and has lived in 8 different states. 2. This student lived in Texas for 12 years and has 9 sisters and 1 brother. 3. This student has attended eight different schools and at one time lived on a farm in Kansas with 14 cats. For some it was a long line, for others it was cracking knuckles. But no matter what the specifics were, almost everyone had some sort of pet peeve. etting Under Your Skin and kick his feet up on the seat in front of him, a tall man in a cowboy hat sits right in front of him, block- ing his vision entirely. Unfortunate- ly, at this point, all of the other good seats are taken and he's stuck paying 54.50 to stare at the back of this guy's head. Great, he thinks. I hate it when this happens. Other pet peeves students had to deal with were popping gum, slow drivers, and rude salespeople. Gaines Audo Q115 said that he hates it when people whine, espe- cially to Mr. Creamer in Ceramics. Marchel Abner 1115 dislikes People who act stuck-up. They're snobs and there is no need for it. For Frances Beggs 1115, her big- gest pet peeve is when teachers yell at you for being gone, but when people suck their teeth, re- ally gets on Felix Childress' 1115 nerves. Although most everyone asked had some sort of pet peeve, not ev- eryone flew off the handle. Melissa Brauner C115 whose pet peeve is lying said, Usually I go off on the person after I find out for sure if they lied to me or not be- cause I hate to be lied to. - - Sonya Cox A 7, , f w,w,f'f f ,5H.,,,V.f,,4,V, W 5 My My A, , ff 7 W 4 -7,,7'f,X,f7,-Mn, , ,, ,WZ 5, ,Z ,567 , gy, 4, g, 4,5-fff V!

Upperclassmanship. For a ju- nior, does this entail a new found wildlife just dreamed about in pre- vious years, or just simply a brand new title fitting for the third year of high school? Whether it's the ex- treme high life or the extreme rou- tine, in the end , it's only how you look at it. For some, their junior year is considered as the ticket to a new and improved social life. Doors that were once closed by the minor de- tails of age, rank and class number, appear to be suddenly opened by the simple, yet necessary, distinc- tion of being an upperclassman. Keri Hall UU said, Now that l'm a junior, I feel like I can do a lot more without being embarrassed. She Tami Singh continued to explain the lack of pressure to impress people and be how they want you act. Along with this new freedom to be yourself, though, there seems to be a phrase fitting for the occasion, you can't have your cake and eat it to! Although juniors are one step ahead, they often find themselves reminded that they're also still one step behind. As Keith Ericsson UU said, The seniors never let us for- get we're only juniors, but there's not that big a difference most of the time. Some students expressed a less satisfied opinion of junior life ex- plaining it's neither good or bad, just another year where the high- light only lies in the fact that now gi? , if s 1 , 6 two grades are below you giving an extra two hundred students to feel superior over. Shannon lacobs UU added, The mo- tions all seem to be the same, just harder classes and only one year to go. On the other hand, a better perspective may be gained by looking at the advantages this particular year brings. lill Gin- grich Q'l1j pointed out, juniors get to plan and attend Prom, let into more parties, later curfews and more respect! No matter what becomes pin-pointed as the worth it and the not after the dust settles from the honorable ju- nior year, in one way or the oth- er, a special place in high school's scrapbook should be saved for all who endured it. - - lana East f 2' 5 'I' 1 X N is K 3 X sl. , , . , M25 f J iff, Miki .

We have a special closeness and we've been best friends since we were small, said Kristine King 1111. You get to know each other inside and out because you're so much alike. Agreeing, Kristine's identical twin sister Shawna King 4115 said lt's great to have somebody who is always there even for little things like sharing clothes or helping with homework. But I also remember in grade school, there was constant competition. Sisters and Best Friends is how identical twins Krissi McKinley and Kathi McKinley C113 describe each other. Though Kathi's heavily in- volved in sports and Krissi's a cheer- leader, both say they don't mind the differences in interests. We've made different friends and don't go out much together on weekends, but we do other things together in- stead. We both babysit and do our homework together, said Kathi. For most twins, similarities are greater than differences, but as Kristine said, We've never had the same taste in guys or the same out- look, but we most always agree on one thing, food. ln the end, whether their lives are the same or their perspectives are completely different, all twins have one thing in common: a broth- er or sister born the same day they are, which can provide advantages, as Shawna said, One of the best parts of it is playing with people's minds.

Rather than destroying his holiday, he managed to keep his spirits bright. aking up early on the morning of December 8, 1987, Theron Stur- gess UIQ found himself amidst clouds of smoke and anomolous lights. I thought I was having a dream, he said. It looked just like a rock video. However, the dream quickly snapped into a frightening reality as Sturgess heard someone pounding on the door, screaming that his house was on fire. just nine hours earlier, an em- ber from the chimney became lodged between the metal flashing and wood shingles on the roof. By 3:00 am, when Sturgess awoke, the roof was engulfed in flames. We were asleep and the guy from across the street saw the fire and went to wake us up, he said.

Though everyone got out safe- ly, The roof, the bedrooms and the entire upstairs was just melted, said Sturgess. The next day, I walked around the room, stabbing through the charred remains, trying to remem- ber what I had lost, he said. Even though his room and most of his personal possessions were de- stroyed in the blaze, Sturgess doesn't feel that he lost much. I lost a journal and a portfolio of all the work I'd done for the past two years. Everything else is replace- able. And by the time Sturgess and his family were able to return to their home, everything had been replaced. I got a whole new ward- robe, a new bedroom set, and all new toys and games. It was like six- teen years of Christmases and birth- days rolled into one. Keeping an optimistic attitude, Sturgess said that a few good things did come from the fire. The neigh- bors all got together to help us out, he said. It didn't matter what they thought about us before, when they saw the burning building they of- fered to help wherever they could. However, after living through the terrifying experience of a house fire, Sturgess agrees that this is one dream he wishes hadn't come true. - - jeff Field xg' ' 'I ,Af , ,gn-1 1 l 'Z m f- ' f f ., . .gf f f kr ft y 1 X f Z1 MQ' fx i n 'gy ff nv . f f , 5, ' I V f Q. 5 ' .. 21:17 . fr f f 244 Q , f 7 if f V M V 5,9 j f elm Qu If X r- arc'- , I f Z 1 fy ' 1 ,IV f ' ' Q wi, ,. 4 y y,g,,., 5,5 kg! 2 f as, ,z.

Two years ago, two junior girls went through this experience. How did they deal with the change? IT TAKES ANOTHER LOOK JUNIOF-IS Marilou lopanda 1111 and Ana Yanes 4111 are two girls who have come here from another country. jopanda is from Cauite City in the Philippines where she lived for three years before coming to the United States in September of 1985. Yanes is from San Pedro Sula, Hon- duras where she had lived all of her life before coming here December 13, 1985. jopanda and Yanes, however, came to the US for two very differ- ent reasons. My father wanted our family to move here so I could finish high school and then go to college to get a good education, said jo- panda. Yanes, on the other hand, moved here because her mother married an American, and said, I like living here better than in Hon- duras because I feel I have better opportunities for my education. Both jopanda and Yanes said they knew very little English when they came to the US. I'm still taking English as a second language be- cause I have more to learn, said Yanes. lopanda said that people talk- ing to her helped her to learn En- glish. I made good friends who 126 Design . . . Regina Sheridan ew frontiers new horizons - Amy Samec 1111 quickly turns in response to aloud remark made in the parking lot after school on a sunny day. Photo: Lori Tack helped me learn the language. They explained things to me that I didn't understand, she said. But what is it like to move to an- other country? It's hard to adjust, said Yanes, especially when you don't know the Ianguage. Along with Yanes, lopanda is glad she came to the US too. I'm glad I came to the United States be- cause I learned how to speak English and I now have the experience of living in another country. Overall, both lopanda and Yanes like living here in the US. I like living here, said lopanda, but I think that if I had to choose where to live, I'd pick the Philippines be- cause it was more fun there. But for Yanes, she likes living here and would pick the US over moving back to Honduras. The people here are what makes it so neat. They are more independent here that in Honduras, and I like that. - - Christy Antone I Tammi Sabatka 1117 watches the events at a pep assembly. Photo: Lori Tack Of!

The Sophomore class had a President, Ryan Steward HOD, a Vice-President Brandy Sumner 1105, and a Secre- taryfTreasurer, Lisa Bergman HOD. They had it all except for one thing. They didn't have a sponsor to help plan the obligatory Courtwarming and to supervise their affairs. Last year's Sophomore Class sponsor Annette Howk decided not to sponsor the sophomores anymore. This created a void and as Bergman said, No one wanted to take the time out of their schedule to sponsor a class. They went into the middle of November, not only without a sponsor, but also without a vice- president, after Sumner transferred to another school. Eventually, Tina Caplan C109 was asked to replace Sumner, but they still had no spon- sor. As Steward said, We went up to the office and Lisa talked to Mr. Bueker, but we didn't get anything accomplished. I'm mad that it took so long because we could have been further along. We shouldn't have had to ask the office more than once for a sponsor. Finally, lohn Lane, who had been the freshman sponsor moved up to sponsor the sophomores and Charles Smith moved in to fill the vacancy with the freshmen. All of the officers agree that a lot of progress was made after the sponsor was named. Caplan said, Nothing was done before, but now we are catching up. Steward added, Once Mr. Lane came in, we were able to pick the theme for the dance and get things done. However, all may not end hap- pily ever after. As Lane said, Since Mr. Landes is going to be retiring, I will be taking full responsibility for the theater department and I won't be able to sponsor the sophomore class. In order to be ready for next year, they might want to start look- ing for a sophomore sponsor now. - - Greg Kalik cor QUESTIONS? 1.

This could possibly be, as the key to an ignition sparks a fire in the bore- dom and restraints of life before driving! During their sophomore year, many stu- dents finally received the opportunity to ob- tain their driver's license. After hearing about and wondering about how life on their own terms could be, the invitation to the control- ling side of the road seems an invitation marked irresistible. Weekends, especially, come to a brand new meaning all their own. There finally exists a freedom to do things on impulse, to follow the crowd and the flow of the night at any chosen discretion. Tricia Sca- glia 1101 explained, Everything is more like you want it. Driving adds fun and excite- ment! But what exactly makes this new wild life so appealing? Before driving, the extent of what could be done revolved mainly around those who held the power to decide. Pedestrian students are left at the mercy of parents and older brothers and ' sisters to chauffeur usually at their convenience and to limited areas. Roddy Lasley 1105 said, You get to see new places and do things while being free from your parents, too. Along with this added grasp on life as it's wanted, though, there also comes an added responsibility. Driving isn't just a game that teenagers, at 16, are finally allowed to play. Dan Messina 1105 said, The concept of driv- ing is bad. So much can happen and you've got to be safe! As the key turns for the first time in any anxious sophomore's hand, not only does it ignite the car it, it ignites a whole new under- standing of independence, freedom, respon- sibility and good times. Possibly these are keys to happiness, maybe even the only keys never to be misplaced. Il - - jana East 132 Design . . .

For some, it's time used to fill a lifetime interest. Starting as a young child, Terry Wiseman 1105 began collecting model airplanes and spaceships in his extra time. On a larger scale, Tony Tracy C10j said, I collect Chevy engines to rebuild them for my own use. One student's hobby wasn't built just overnight. lt took years of rock concerts in order for lason Shalton f10j to build up his collection of con- cert ticket stubs.

However,simply clippingim- as portant news articles and favorite stories from newspapers and ma- gazines is how one Sophomore rler , keeps memories, and another keeps a scrapbook of photo- graphs. In the end, what's important it isn't whether a collection involves extravagant souvenirs from a dis- tant country or just muddy rocks brought back from the Ozarks.

But one of the worst things about being a freshman is not being able to drive, according to Kim Brown 195. l hate having to be taken places by my parents, but at least in two years l can get my license, she said. Other freshman, like Brown, said that they avoid having their parents take them places because it's embarrassing. When l go out, and my parents have to take me, I have them drop me off somewhere where no one else is around, said Craig Alexander 195. Lori Dollman 195, said she hates it when her parents have to take her places because, l don't want to be seen with them dropping me off-it's way too embarrassing! However, some freshmen don't really feel embarrassed by having their parents drop them off. Mary Chapman 195, for instance, said, lt's really not that embarras- sing, I just try and ignore it. Paulette Adams 195 said, As long as they don't stay with me, it's not that embarrassing. Although most freshmen have to rely on someone else for their transportation, many freshmen usu- ally don't ask their parents until it becomes a last resort. Usually my sister's friends will take me to the places l need to go, otherwise l'll ask my parents, said Stephanie Bonner 195- Along with Bonner, Charles Craft 195 agreed. My friends usually always take me. l never ask my par- 'ents to take me anywhere. But whether it be their parents, or friends, freshmen, for the time being, will have to rely on someone else for their transportation needs. H lm' f ,fi , 15111 if .. i if 'QQ' ft 4? 211 , at 29 !!

Many familiar students roamed the halls this day but there was a new group of students just like there always is, the freshmen. They experienced one one of the many important life cycle events: being born, riding a bike for the first time, going to their first junior high dance and the first day of high school. As they got off the bus, their first im- pression was of the size of the school. Nicole lacobson Q95 com- mented, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to find my classes because it is so much bigger then the junior high. As the freshmen entered the building on that first day, they f0und crowds of unfamiliar people inthe halls chatting about the sum- mer events. To Bill Latteman Q9j, his first impression of the other stu- dents was, they didn't seem to bother us and they respected the fact that we were students, too. To some, the school just wasn't like they expected. Scott Hammer f9j said, It wasn't at all what I expec- ted, I thought it would be fun and exciting, every day meeting new people and seeing new parts of the school, but the novelty has worn off and it is boring, now. l The biggest change between the junior High and the high school came in the difficulty of the school. Anne Halloran f9j said, The junior High was pretty easy, but the high school is a lot harder. Jacobson agreed saying, The amount of re- sponsibility in the high school is much greater. Since 1981, new freshmen have come to school anxious and appre- hensive. Next year this particular group will no longer be anxious and apprehensive and a new group of freshmen, the class of 1992, will ar- rive to roam aimlessly through the halls on the first day of school. - - Greg Kalik - Darin Gray t9j is emcompassed by his thoughts during third hour social stud- , ies.

As Stacey Peltzie 495, sister of Craig Peltzie C123 said, I knew who the good teachers were, what clas- ses to take, and he explained things like the Honor Roll. It's a lot easier because Craig's gone through ev- erything already. Knowing an upperclassman was considered an advantage to most freshmen. Matt helped me on the first day of school, finding my way around and telling me what to ex- pect, said Susanna Owings 491. Getting help in classes, and be- ing familiar with certain teachers were other ways that freshmen ben- efitted from the presence of older siblings.

OLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND But others had problems with the associations. I know a lot of my brother's senior friends, but I don't like to be called Thad's little sister, said Niki Potratz 195. To some, following behind has made a a big difference, allowing for a comfortable feeling. But for others, it's a matter of months of waiting for big brother or big sister's graduation, until they're the one and only at last. - - Kathy Ceule , ,Chris Martin Y Tammy sMartin if fMatt'Mason I ,rifjdvana fMatds f re, if , 5 I ff ,, ,f f , , ,f f f f e f' ff , ,ff ,, ,, 6 f f f cf ,,Q f ' ff ff ,f ff' ,if 5' 1' , QQ ,WA ff H ,ji ,Z ,W 77 Q f if gf If jf' x47 31 J ff if ,ff ff 1, if ,ffmfff 7 ,, ff M f ff ,wwf 1,4 , , yew, 3,9 1' ffyw .QV ' wif ,,f,fj, Q ff f ,fff,, Mwfvlf an 4 , , ff QM W .zf ,ff f f' ff 'Q 'f' ' 24- K , ' , .X ,f fQ'f.f:h',,,f.! 1, , ' My sf 547 any J 742,43 if Hy!

FRESH Many changes take place dur- ing the four year span of high school. Attitudes, privileges, judgments, relationships, and levels of maturity find different rates of growth during these years. Recal- ling the four years from a Senior point of view, can vary from what one might project as a Freshman, seeing themselves as Seniors. Some Freshmen believe that privileges will increase when they- 're a Senior. Amanda Solomon Q93 explains, When I'm a Senior, I think teachers will like me more. I will have more freedom and trust be- cause I'll have been known for a longer time. Although some Freshmen can't wait to become graduating seniors, some feel differently. lohn Wilson Q9I said, I'm not ready to be a Senior yet because I'm not sure what I want to do with my life. Although unprepared as Fresh- men, many believe when they be- come Seniors, they will be confi- dent and ready to graduate. Eric Thornton Q91 said, I think a Senior's overall attitude is good because they know it's their last year. Many Freshmen believe that they will share this attitude when they be- come Seniors in only three short years. - - Kim Alley ow Will I Ac When I'm13?

School can be dif- ferent with Mom or Dad in the building. But who was it harder on? The Parent-or the Student? U LTY IT TAKES Can you imagine what it would be like to attend school under the same roof as your parents place of employment? Too horrible to imag- ine? For some students that vision was made into a reality. But according to Cherie Crow 195 it's not as terrible as you may think. It's not all that bad, it's just that she's always around and she's har- der on me gradewise, said Cherie. Other students with parents who worked in the building includ- ed Carrie Chronister 1125 and her father, lohn Chronister, Kelley Fisk 1125 and Robyn Fisk 195 and their mother Maggie Fisk, leff Bueker 1125 and his father Dick Bueker, Ste- fan Hutchison 1125 and his mother, Iudy Hutchison, Christine Tews 1105 and her mother Stephania Tews, and lulia Sales 1125 and her mother lulia Patterson. t s a Family Affair One problem Cherie found with having her mother as atten- dance secretary was that it was easy for teachers to go straight to her mother if she acted up. They tell her everything I do. Agreeing, Paula said, l'm here for teachers to talk to if she acts up whereas they might not have made the effort with anyone else. Another problem jeff Bueker had was with students who thought he could get them out of trouble. They think I can solve their prob- lems just because my dad's vice- principal, but l can't. But just who is it harder on - parent or student? Paula summed up her feelings by saying, Cherie is a good student and that makes it easier. As it is, it's hard on her having her friends see me all the time. - - Sonya Cox H it S U01 5 1 3 ll ll if l ll r 144 Design . . .

Believe it or not, some things never change. Back then, things were differ- ent. There was more school spirit and many more activities. On week- ends, teens piled into their hot rods, cruised the town, local drive- in, or nearest hot spot fplace to eat.j The groovy thing to do on weekends for us was buzzing the spec, which was a restaurant much like Sonic, said Carol lohnston Though some drive-in restaurants are still around, they aren't nearly the social centers that they were a few decades ago.. When Debbie Artman was in high school, dating was a whole dif- ferent story. If you didn't have a date on Saturday night there was something wrong with you, said Artman. But the one thing that both stayed the same and changed drasti- cally is fashion. Girls weren't al- lowed to wear jeans to school and guys could only if they were with- out holes. For girls, ratted hair was 146 Design . . . Joanie Gravino he Way It Used to be in along with the flip-up curl at the bottom and for guys, parted on the side and slicked back was the way to fix their Do . Girls used a lot of hairspray and rolled their hair in rollers every night, said Artman. Besides not being able to wear jeans, at johnston's high school, girls couldn't wear patent leather shoes. We had a dean of girls in charge of us and it was rumored that the reason we couldn't wear patent leather was because they would re- flect under our dresses, she said. Some fashions didn't change, though. Skin tight jeans, loafers, white socks, Converse tennis shoes and wide belts were all popular then and still are. The groups or cliques which are prevalent now , were present then, also. There were the hoods fthe group we currently refer to as freaksj, soches fthe 50s equivalent of our prepsj, and the middle of the road people who got along with everyone. Of course, to- day our groups are divided even more specifically, but it's still the same basic idea. So, as you can see, time does change a lot of things, but there will always be some things that never change. - - Sonya Cox Qi Q' yy 55. .4 If .x f,,Q,,.

Now sharing in his time consumption is not only school and wrestling, but a baby boy. He said, lt's quite a challenge, but an interesting life- style, that is sleeping sometimes for only an hour and a half. Another aspect revolves around other facets of teacher's en- ergies. Doyle Pace, besides teach- ing design and jewelry, is active in the Kansas City Blues Society and is a story teller for different places. He commented, l think about school at home, but I don't ever worry about it.

Some may think that's what the faculty thinks, but that isn't the case. lt's usually not how smart the student is that deter- mines a good student, but how hard the student tries. Believe it or not, most teachers don't expect you to study all your waking hours in order for them to like you, but they like a good atti- tude and some sort of evidence that you're trying. Lisa Timmons said, My favorite students are those who enjoy learning new things. They are the ones who do not shy away from a challenge and are will- ing to come back the next day to be- gin again. So, good students don't have to be stereotypical brains , but a student who cares abouttheir work, as well as themselves. Corine Woods agrees with this view by say- ing, A good student is one with a positive attitude about school, about the specific course and about life in general. l believe that the oth- er skills will come if effort and an open mind are present . - - Kim Alley ,,,,...s..,,,,,..,,,,,,,W M.s,.. .,,.,W.,....W,,.4,,. -AQ-N-swmwm eww.

As the bell rings to start the hour, Larry Bradshaw pulls on his reading glasses and announces, lt's pick-on-Dan Morgan day! ln be- tween semi-crude comments about students' parents and social lives, Mike Starcev 1115 creeps in late. That's tardy number two, says Bradshaw, equal to your LQ. This exchange is just a typical day in one of Bradshaw's graphics classes. Though on the surface, his taunts may sound mean-hearted, most students know that they're all in jest, and it's part of the way that he teaches. Besides, he's an equal opportunity insulter. ln the classes that he teaches, students learn the technical aspect of publications, including typeset- ting, offset lithography, photogra- phy and screen printing. But in ad- dition, Bradshaw always finds a way to add a touch of cynicism to his les- sons. For instance, when explaining the development time of Photo Mechanical Transfer paper QPMTQ, he said, To find out how long thirty seconds is, ask Vleisides all he knows about girls. Some students say that he looks like George letson. Others say he's just a smart-alecky kid at heart, but almost all of his students describe his classes as fun. What makes Mr. Bradshaw's class different is his -Helping students with a project, Larry Bradshaw tries to figure out where they ever learned how to use a proportional wheel.

He mixes a loose teaching style with humor. As much as he makes fun of people and kids around, we still get a lot of work done. Another thing that makes Brad- shaw's taunting tolerable is that not only can he dish it out, but he can also take it. Few teachers let you joke about his father being the neighborhood special delivery per- son, but Bradshaw just calmly laughs and waits for the next opportunity to zing you back. So if you enroll in one of Brad- shaw's classes, be prepared to take a few personal blows, be prepared for a few attacks on your ego, but most of all, be prepared to have fun. lf you're lucky, he might even tell you the Greek army motto . .. 0 0 0 On the surface, Don Shaffer doesn't appear to be the type of teacher to be fanatical about any- thing. However, when the Mar- 19601 ching Yellowjackets take the during halftime, or the Band prepares for a presentation, he undergoes a transformation, Suddenly this seemingly quiet teacher becomes a fiery conductor, punching out anthems and marches with vigor. You can feel his energy, Lisa Bergman Q'l0j. Before a cert or class, he's always around to make sure everyone everything they need. And this ergy usually shows in the band's formances and rehearsals. Shaffer's energy is most likely direct result of his love for . Because of this love, he refuses toj f A accept substandard efforts from his students. He's a perfectionist, Z said Chris Volkert Q9j.

Didn't they pass a law against starting school before Labor Day? Though the controversy has since waned, the illegal beginning to the school year caused varied reactions among students, some angry, some apathetic. It's my last year, so I don't really care when we start, as long as It's reasonabIe, said one senior. Other non-seniors had different ideas about that. Said John Wilson QQQ, I didn't like starting this early in the year. The early start contoversy eventually died down, but not after gaining exposure in the newspaper when Superintendent Walt Swan- son made an excuse about Center being Nan agricultural district. Some students were amused by the distinction of our ruralness, but still displeased with starting early. After a while, students and teachers set- tled into the routine of school. The calendar marched forward through the months and the first day of school became just another memo- ry. But as one student said, The early start could have been avoided. We could have had a few extra days of summer. However, the whole issue became insignifi- CONT OS OTIWGI' controversies DGCGTTTG FTTOFG lm- portant, and the illegal start settled into its infa- mous place in history. , 'lt -., .

The library, however, is sometimes a good place for doing research or homework, but more often than not, it's a great place to socialize. Brian Van- Slyke C445 feels that iT's more of a social hall than a study hall because, l'm almost always talking instead of working. Monica Chapman, Iibriarian, feels that only about twenty percent of The students who come to The library actually study. I'm glad that The students see The library as a pleasant place to come, but I do wish They would re- member The real purpose of The library. On The negative side, however, it's no good at all for students to socialize because other students need a place to study and do research. The worst Time of The day, however, is fourth hour because many students don'T like Top 'IO Comic Strips I. Garfield 6. Bloom County 2. Peanuts 7.

Instead, they would rather be in The library with their friends catching up on The latest gossip. The library is one of The places where I can always come and Talk with my friends, said Steve Caffey 593. Amy Samec C1 'IQ said, 'll definitely think it's more of a social hall than a study hall because whenever I come to the library, I always social- ize. But whether students use the library as it was intended for, or to socialize, many students have found time to study or do research at sometime or another. Summing up his feelings, Joel Yoss C95 said, The library is mainly a sociol hall, but sometimes, if none of my friends are around, I'll find time to study. However, maybe, if you're lucky, you might actually stumble across someone in the library who's actually busy . . . reading. During fourth hour, students gather around a table pre- tending to study, but instead, they socialize. This often happens with students.

The annoying buzzing sound which usually indicates a fire more often indicated a joke during first semester, as eight spontaneous fire drills were called by an anonymous prankster. Starting in September, the tire alarms be- gan to mysteriously go off on a regular basis, interrupting classes and sending students out- side. At first, students gave the joke positive re- views, but after awhile, it lost its humor. The alarm went off during a big test in AP Biology Gnd we had to go outside, said Rachelle Rol- Iins 0125. That wasn't funny at aII. Despite the growing opposition, the alarms RGDT going off. One day in late October, alarms interrupted class in both opt and fourth hour. When teachers began the unsafe practice of 'Qnoring the alarms and going on with class, the Odrninistration decided enough was enough. The next day, principal Dr. John Burke wrote a message for the bulletin stating that x00Yone caught pulling false fire alarms will be Sent to an immediate expulsion hearing. Members of SGA began thinking up covert DIOHS to catch the prankster in the act, and Sven the students who didn't mind the class dis- 'UDtions began to take issue with having to go A phantom hand was responsible for pulling seven false fire alarms during the year, despite threats of expulsion by the office. Photo: craig Peltzie outside in the increasingly colder weather. The warnings seemed to work. After the in- famous double drill day, the alarms stayed si- lent for the rest of October. However, as No- vember brought its freezing temperatures, it also brought two more fire drills. During first hour, the familiar buzzing resounded, forcing stu- dents to saunter outside in the thirty degree morning. As Craig Peltzie M25 said as he re- turned to class after ten minutes outside, I don't care about safety. I'm coIdI However, the most ironic alarm of all took place on Monday, December '14, a day in which most other schools were closed due to the biggest blizzard in three years. As the snow continued to fall in the early afternoon, the alarms went off. Most students found the irony hilarious, except for those whose teachers made them follow fire alarm procedures and go outside. In all, one alarm was called in opt hour, three in first hour, one in fourth, one in fifth, and two in sixth hour. Most importantly, the prank- ster was never caught. Now that four classes of students have been insensitized to the tire alarm system, it remains to be seen whether fu- ture reverberations of that annoying buzzing sound will be taken lightly-or cause for alarm. Center Stage Small investors took a beating on October '19, as the stock market plunged 508 points. It was a turbulent year on Wall Street, as mar- kets varied nearly 4000 points within a few months.

Though iT's not quite on The same level as Bally or other professional athletic clubs, we do have our own fitness center here aT CHS, down in The catacombs of The lockerroom complex. The weight room is utilized by athletes in a wide range of sports. ln summer and early fall, The football players are expected to undergo a rigorous Training program. As early as Octo- ber, The wrestlers begin an even more strenu- ous program, as They not only Try to build muscles, but also keep body weight within a desired range. Field events keep Track athletes in The weight room throughout The spring, and even after school lets out for The summer, The facility can be available for anyone who wants to use it. During summer months, for a small fee, dis- trict patrons can have access to The machines and weights Three nights a week for Two hours. These sessions are well attended, particularly by alumni who are home from college. The facility features sets of weights, bench and sled lifting machines and equipment de- signed for basic flexibility exercises. Though iT's not a bad place to work out, some improve- ments could be made, as Nick Edwards U05 said, 'lThey do have a pretty good weight room, but it could be better. Too much of The equipment has been broken or vandaIized.

First, on Monday, they noticed a uniformed se- curity guard roaming through the hallways. By Friday, 'lbillboards with advertising had gone up at four locations around the school, and a majority of the students didn't like either one. The security guard was hired, as principal Dr. John Burke told the SGA General Assembly that week, to quell potential security threats around the school, and would stay until the threat was eliminated. uBesides, he added, nearly every other school in the city had one. The Connections poster series was a trial pro- gram to help students understand the tribula- tions of growing up. The advertising for such products as Sure deodorant, Cherry Coke and Snickers would help the local company pay for the cost of the posters and glass cases. lf the students didn't like them, Burke said, they would be removed. Even if it wasn't in outspo- ken opposition, most students had reservations about our new additions. Maybe it was because the guard represented a threat to individual privacy, or that the ad- vertising on the posters was filling an outsider's wallet. However, deep down, one of the main reasons for opposition to the new additions was that CHS was becoming part of the real world. After all, if we wanted advertising, we could drive down Holmes or Troost to see all the billboards we want. lf we wanted to deal with uniformed officers, all we had to do is throw a loud party or loiter around lvlcDonald's too long. ln other words, school was one of the only places that we could be free from these civilian distractions, and now even that had been taken away. Even the homey hall outside of the journal- ism room lost its warmth as we opened the door one day to see the guard threatening an illegal student to either 'lgo home or go to jail. As we stood in line at our 'lreal world Coke machines or for our real world potato chips and ice cream, we could see real world celebrities L.L. Cool J or Mark Linn-Baker tell us about deal- ing with Ureal world problems. But those weren't the first slices of the real world we've seen at CHS. The changes we've seen over the past few years range from an el- evator, providing eaual access for disabled students, to vandalism in the parking lot. Though some of the changes take awhile to get used to, eventually they can settle in. Though both the guard and the posters brought disapproval from the students, both stayed in place. The security guard kept alive his auest to discover and remove all illegal stu- dents, and the l'Connections series stuck around longer, cycling through different sub- jects and different celebrities. Until they get gradually phased in, the changes are likely to face some real world opposition. The i'Connections series made their debut in the halls after Thanksgiving, offering advice on growing up, and drawing ire from students.

Okay, if that's Too much to Think about, can you picture experiencing about 42 different cultures in one day without crossing any oceans or traveling over thousands of miles? . Believe it or not, it is quite possible and the foreign language clubs had the chance To do just that this year when they visited the Epcot Center. The Epcot Center, located in Orlando, Florida and part of Disney World, is divided into two main sections which are separated by a lake. On one side of the lake are the buildings The Land, Universe of Energy, Hor- izons, Journey into imagination, Spaceship Earth, and The Living Seas, each showing dit-- ferent and unique displays on the above to- pics Future World, is similar To the attractions at the two Disney amusement parks. On the other side of the lake is a cluster of small vil- lages, each representing a different country. For example, one village may show the French lifestyle, while just around the corner may be a rendition of Chinese life. World Showcase promotes the Disney theme that it's just a small world after all.

The large Homecoming crowd filled the stands, screaming for the home team, who was currently trailing 7-0. The Yel- lowjackets were playing conference powerhouse Ruskin and were still in the thick of the playoff hunt. But first, they had to overcome the seven point deficit, and the clock was ticking down. And nobody felt the pres- sure more than quarter- back Dan Bell 4121. Athletes face pressure on any level, but in high school, it all compounds. On the field they have the responsibility of repre- senting the school,as well as themselves. Pressure to Dan Balow 4121 prepares for wrestling season in the weight fOOI'Tl.

Each time an athlete suits up for practice or a match, they run the risk of end- ing their season with a se- rious injury. Boyce Evans 4111 knows.

The comparative- ly rigid 2.0 policy entered its second year, limiting athletic participation somewhat. If strenuous practices and difficult matches weren't enough ing to contend with, student athletes have to perform well in the classroom be- fore they can ever suit up. The best way to deal with pressure seems to be to ignore it. Pressure doesn't really bother me, said Michelle Blaser 4101. l just go out to have fun. Though the jackets last drive was never enough to overcome that 0-7 def- icit in the Homecoming game, at times they were able to successfully rise above the pressure, as they did in the overtime victory over Excelsior Springs. But as it always is in the world of sports, you win some and you lose some.

They appear enthusias- tic, upbeat, and proud. Their main objec- tive: to entertain the crowds. Who are they? You guessed it. Our very own drill team. ' But what goes into one performance to get the finished product? Practice, and more practice. About four times a week, drill team members arrive at school around 7 o'clock to go over the drills for their next performance. The practices last until 7:45 and each girl then has 15 min- utes to change and get to first hour. But according to Angela Smith 4125, the rewards for so much practice are well worth it. When you're out there danc- ing, you forget about all the practice it took to get the drill right. Kara Timbrook 4125 agrees. Practices make everyone look good. It makes us look like a group. she said. Over the summer, practices were complicated by a switch in sponsors and for a while, the girls were on their own. Chilone Watson 4115 said, Over the sum- mer we had some slight problems when we didn't have a sponsor, but it was pretty much organized because our captains did a good job of getting everyone together. When Mrs. Gilliam took over, we just had more of an adult to look after us. The lack of a sponsor also took its toll on the girls when they had to make deci- sions concerning the squad. We were al- ways fighting and yelling at each other and no one got along very well, said Melanie Goldman 4115. ' Linda Gilliam, whose main duties as drill team advisor were to keep demerits and attendance, summed up her job by saying, I help the girls with formations, talk to the coaches for them, and answer any questions they may have. l'm more or 172 Design . . . Joanie Gravino less an overseer of the group. Adjusting to their new sponsor wasn't as difficult as the girls had thought, although they did have a few slight prob- lems. lt did take time to adapt, Smith said. Different sponsors have different outlooks on how things should go. lt's worked out pretty well though. ln janu- ary, the Drill team extended their involve- ment beyond doing halftime performan- ces, as they helped provide food for SGA's Center Cinema project. The rewards for practicing so much could be seen after their performances. As Nicole Carramusa 4115 said, lt's great during pep assemblies when we've prac- ticed hard and it shows. The crowd seems like they want us to perform. Agreeing, Laura Ballew 4125 said, You have a lot of fun getting out there knowing that the crowd is enjoying the drill. Yes, it's worth all of the practicing and l'm very proud and glad that I decided to try out. - - Sonya Cox At the A with po Troy WU' K' 4 4 5 ff. ,, -r N, QAM X 1 xbkfg' fav 1 xg X ,sje X . . H Sa J.

The weather was on our side, there was definitely unity, and the schedule could be handled. But it could probably be blamed on the injuries to at least five key starting players. This forced the team to rebuild and be flexible with each game and line- up. Most players felt that the injuries af- fected the season's outcome, as well as their confidence. Chad Middleton 1101 said, We got let down by the injuries and 174 Design .. . Vickie Roudebush called it quits. Stephen johnson 1121 played only five games all season because of injuries and ineligibility due to grades, but said, The back up guys that were there at a mom- ent's notice did really good. The close scores proved it. One by one the victims fell, either to broken bones like Todd Riggs 1101 and Brian Howe 1121 or to torn ligaments like josh Kovich 1101. And head coach Ed Fritz knew first-hand just what injuries could do to a team. Suffering from a torn Achil- les' tendon and broken ankle, he said, I was frustrated, not only because of the ll till' K Mfg T55 x XS .'f,- . Xi ' ftlr. f players' injuries, but my own too. We so many close games, but I guess you keep saying What if . . .? ' The in did help unity, as casts and crutches most became part of the uniform. But the team continued to through, making it to districts and ing many conference awards. Despite the injuries and ments, the team worked great together build a quality team.

Anyone on the sidelines can see this part of the game, but underneath it all exists one common purpose, We want to win, said Susan Stewart 1111. This goal may seem rather evident af- ter viewing what all the girls go through to try and reach their aimp long hours of conditioning during summer practices, day after day of refining fundamental skills and most importantly, according to Carrie McCormick 1101, We have to learn to be a unit, to depend on each other. Tina Ca- plan 1101 added, We have to think about what we do. We try to learn from our- selves and others. This road to reach the top may not al- ways happen the way it's planned. As Matt Haun 1121, the team manager, explains, Hard working best describes the team but sometimes it just doesn't pay off. But the steps to the outcome of the season are paved with enriched relationships and valuable lessons in winning and losing, and in being able to do both. We play be- cause we have fun, we just try to remem- ber that it is fun no matter what, said Pau- la Fields 1101. This year's journey led the team through season with the highs, the lows, and the final scores of 2 and 2.

Every point struggled for, every bump or spike placed in the face of an unsuspecting opponent must end in an outcome, happy to some and discour- aging to others. This leaves a time to re- flect on the good, the bad, and the could be better, a time as important to the sea- son as the repeated hours of tedious drills and conditioning. As Anne Smithmier 1125 explained, When you get down to it, it's all about going through the motions and then doing it right. The skills are nothing, though, with- out the right frame of mind. So coupled with the motions are the mental attitudes of the team, according to Kathy Briggs 1115, The players must have the psych to intimidate the opposing team and make themselves play their best. This season's attitude may not have gotten the team its winning scores and high ratings at every game, but their chins were held high as lanet Donahue 1105 said, Every game was a new chance and we al- ways tried our hardest. lt's not only just the players, though, ll involved in the psych of the team. The coach Dana Dawson also plays a big part in shaping the girls' attitudes to try and to understand what is needed to improve. lf she gives us positive com- ments, said Sonya Patrick 1115, We feel positive and play with a better spirit! Ra- chel Williams 1115 added, lf we didn't have a good influence, how could we be 211 good. After it's all over, positive reinforce- ment does appear to be a big component in winning , as Tina Weaver 1125 says, We won't remember if we won every single game we played, but we'll remember how we felt during those games and what we learned by them. It can be said that something is only as good as what is put into it. So long as the team can be proud of its attitude and philosophy, even though underneath it all may be a record with a few minor set backs and injuries, it can be said that this team is successful, a point well taken by this year's girls volleyball team. - - jana East l Debbie Bellante 1115 prepares to spike the over the net during a varsity game.

The train rumbles rau- cously not far away. The dirt bikes and the three wheelers roar their motors down the dirt paths. The remote control hel- icopters give off a buzzing sound in the air while they fly over the empty grass fields. The clomping of hooves muffle the background as horses trot around the dirt paths. Automoblies screech around the circle drive and road to the parking lot with theirradios blasting a popular song. The clanking of shovels hitting rock and dirt as city workers install light poles. On a windy day, you can hearthe rustling of the leaves on the trees and occasionally the ring of a distant telephone. But if you listen real closely, underneath it all, it is possible to hear DEUCE yelled out be- fore a smashing serve by the Girls' Tennis Team. The girls on the team were close. Ac- cording to Carrie Garcia 1115, Togetherness and how we work as a unit, is what she liked most about the team. Nicole Carramusa 1115 agreed that the team was unique from teams of the past because of the togetherness and the unity. But togetherness wasn't the only unique quality about this team, Robin Bernstein 1101 commented that the team had only one senior and most of the team was made up of underclassmen. The only senior on the team was jenny Watt 1121. She was voted most improved player her freshman year and played var- sity doubles last year. This year she was playing the number one varsity spot. Dur- . 1' ing a small part of the season, Watt be, lf came ill. This, coupled with the loss 01 three seniors from last year, sent others into unfamiliar positions. Keri Hall 111y' who played number six on the girls ladder last year, was now rotating in the top three varsity spots. While Garcia, who was used once in a while on the varsity, was now playing number one doubles. Watt said, I think there was depth on the te a lack of experience. According to some of the players, inexperience hurt the team's record in conference and 5-11 over all, buy seemed to get better as the season went on. Coach Tom Grow, social studies teacher, remarked, the inexperience made it tougher to beat the top level teams. As Lisa Bergman said about the expe- A rience of this year's team, There always are going to be inexperienced people,but they will help the team out in the long run. The underclassmen are looking ahead. Next year should be much better and most of us will be seniors with a great deal more experience, said Mary lo Pickering 1115. Michelle Blaser 1101 be- lieves that people need to practice after 1 the season. And, Watt gives her experi- ' enced advice, practice as much as you can and don't get too frustrated. If you listen real closely under the blaring sounds of Minor Park, you might hear the whiz of a tennis ball, the squeak- ing of tennis shoes or that familiar sound chanted by girls on the tennis team, MATCH POINT! - - Greg Kalik GIRLS' TENNIS TEAM - Front Row: Amy Gruver, Carrie Garcia, mi Sabalka.

Beneath the humming fan and occasional shuffling of shoulder pads, someone took a heavy, nervous breath trying to relieve the tension. Speaking before a game just wasn't done. Top off this normal, pre-game locker room scene with a drastically reduced team from last year and you get a silence even more haunting. Consider 30 sets of clanking cleats instead of the 60 from past years, and only 30 guys charging from the locker room, to face a team sometimes twice their size. Overcoming the quantity, or lack of it, became the first challenge for the sea- son. Most players faced having to play the entire game with no replacements. Our best players wouldn't have been as tired. We lost most of our games in the second half because guys had to play both offense and defense, said lay Smith 1125. Agreeing, Coach Don Bauml said, Preparation was a lot harder and difficult considering the low numbers. Once you got past the first team, there was no depth. When asked why fewer people par- ticipated this year, Coach lerry Culver said, There are other things that attracts them, less structured things that don't re- quire practicing after school. To go along with that is the ineligibility policy that forced a lot of guys off the team. Whether it was not making a 2.0 GPA or the lack of personal discipline, most agreed that the decrease of players hurt the season. Dan Bell 1121 said, Since there weren't enough guys for a IV team, it prevented them from getting that use- ful experience. But in this case, the quality made up for the quantity.

The scoreboard tells the cold hard truth, Center lost another close, hard Q fought game to Northtown, 34-28. But as -the saying goes winning isn't every- thing, and to these guys, winning wasn't everything. Probably just getting to jplay, was the reason Todd Scaletty Q95 lgave for why he enjoyed the season. Cal- lvin Nicholson t9j had another reason for playing, getting passes thrown toward me and the glory. The difference between playing Eighth grade football, an undefeated sea- 'son, and Freshmen football where they went 2-5, was not only shown in the win and loss columns. Bart Damron t9j said, There is a big transition. We were smaller than in Eighth grade and as wasn't the case last year, everyone got to play. Not only was the team small, only 23 players, but Sean Miller Q95 said, ln eighth grade you're a beginner but in high school football you learn to do all the basics bet- ter. One example of this was the team tackled better and enjoyed doing it. Coach john Stonner commented, We had a good group of kids who wanted to hit and liked to hit hard. Though the team was not large in size or numbers, Tom Hunter Q95 said, We hit hard and other teams said we were the hardest hit- FRESHMEN FOOTBALL - Front row: Dwight Spratling,1ohn Ma- s sm ting team they had played. One problem that the team had and that is a priority to fix for next year was the lack of team spirit or enthusiasm. Damron admitted, We had a lot of enthusiasm when we were winning. When we played better we would be louder, but when we were behind, we didn't try. Nicholson agreed, Most of us would get each other down and one half we would play real well and one half we played real weak. The team is looking to the future. Stonner said, lf the group stays together, they ought to have a pretty good team. The players even believe that they not only have a shot to be good but to go to the state championship game. Hunter commented, We have a good chance of going to state our Senior year. A lot of the coaches think that we have a chance to go to state since during our eighth grade year we were undefeated. Some think it might even be sooner then that, Miller said, We could get to state by our junior year. As the golden sun sets over the hori- zon in late 1990, and as the breeze sends chills up the spines of the hystericalfans, the varsity football team brings the season to an end. This time the scoreboard sings a happier tune. The team walks off the field to the chanting of We're Number One! We're Number One! - - Greg Kalik . ., . K x V ,A , , ..

The slightest ad- vantage in water resistance can make a dif- ference in races, leading some swimmers to shave their body hair, and of course, the one who makes it to the wall first, even by the slightest margin, wins the race. Thus, it seems, in swimming, that smaller is better. Not really. For home meets, the crowds who showed up to support the team were sparse and usually consisted of the swim- mers' parents and closest friends. Though the team worked hard to swim well re- gardless ofthe lack of support, it was still tough to ignore the feeling of being the visiting team at your own pool. The hardest part is going to the meets and not seeing anyone support you, said lason Bradley 4125. The most depressing time I ever had swimming was the last home meet, when the only out- side spectators were the timers and the parents. I was a little upset about the crowds we had considering that we were a pretty good team, said David Rinker 4125. lt's depressing to look up in the stands at our home meets and see more people from the other school than from our own school. Because meets and practices were held 25 blocks south at the Red Bridge YMCA, the swimmers didn't expect tur- nout to like that of schools with on-cam- pus programs. But they also didn't expect Brian Tuttle 495 leans back to swim faster in the 100 yard bi-1Cl4SU'OlC6.

The cheerleaders never came to any of our meets, said jeff Bueker 4125. When we asked them about it, they said, 'How can you cheer at a swim meet?' It tells us that our school doesn't want us to repre- sent them, so how can that not affect our performance? Despite the quantity of crowd sup- port,the swimmers stillfoundaway toim- prove the quality of their competitive- ness. Bueker, Rinker, Bradley, Bill Lattem- an 495 and Matt Haun 4125 all qualified to the State meet in February, Bradley finish- ing 14th in the 100 yard backstroke. Be- cause of a small number of swimmers, in addition to the small crowds, some felt that individual accomplishments were re- ward enough. 0ne of the hardest things about swimming for Center is that, because we have such a small team, we can't really compete with the other schools at meets, said Rinker. We can do well and win in our individual events, but as a team, we don't have the numbers to win. Many of us swim for self-satisfac- tion, said Haun. lf we do well ourselves, it's as good as doing well as a team. As a result, swimmers found them- selves adjusting their priorities. You don't need fans to feel like you accom- plished something, said Bradley. We ac- complished more because, even though people weren't there to support us, we still did great. We did what we were out to do, to swim our best and represent Center, whether they liked it or not! - - jeff Field is 1, 3 in IW0 Sf season, 'd quali- g Pelrzfe 15551 SFU' Tiff, 3 L l If: ' if 4 T if . f 5 LL KM V 4 li t f When athletes train together for a long time, a camaraderie develops be- tween them, usually followed by a degree of success. From the Chiefs' Bill Kenney and Carlos Carson, who perform as one on long pass plays, to the U.S. speed skating team, whose Olympic hopes slipped with Dan Iansen in Calgary, the unity between cooperating athletes can eventually pay off. On the swim team, three of these ath- letes have been cooperating for a long time. Seniors lason Bradley, jeff Bueker and David Rinker have been competitive- ly swimming for a combined total of 32 years, experience which paid off when their Individual Medley relay team quali- fied to the State meet. There's a certain degree of unity, said Bradley. It's just like a family set apart from our own family. When one of us gets down, it affects all of us. In addition to poolside support, the Seniors provided comic relief for them- selves and the rest of the squad. Swimming with these Seniors is crazy! said Bill Latteman 491, the fourth member of the state-qualifying team. These guys are nuts! He mentioned how one day in the locker room, they spontaneously started giving ritual swirlies, the wetting of one's head with a flushing toilet, to the underclassmen swimmers. A major factor in the team's success, said Rinker, was that they restricted their unity to the pool. We did a few things to- gether outside right after meets, but oth- erwise, we don't. he said. But when we were all together, we'd support each oth- er very much.

The somewhat shaky start brought hardship right from the beginning. Our schedule was one of the hardest Center's ever faced. Lee's Summit, the number one team in the city, was our second game, said Coach Max Hayes. Hayes also said that the team was thin and not many girls went out for the sport, which led to problems. To lanet Donahue f11J, the biggest problem was that, We were a young team and some players got put off the team for grades and that brought us down. The season turned around for the better though, despite the loss of the first six games of the season. Winning against Belton in overtime by two points and then beating longtime rival Ruskin brought spirits up. The team pulled through and worked well together. The best aspect was the teamwork! said Coach Melanie Lees. -...S r s was 'x 3 tg T7 'f r Q w if n . Q tl Q -0 W 4 X ima ihx is es t I .- Q3 l 1-up W 3 l r W X , as l .

The crowd was intermixed throughout the stands. Parents and Boost- er Club members sat behind the Varsity bench, cheering the team on. Opponents fans settled in the bleachers behind the opponents bench. Across the sidelines, the band, drill team, and some of the stu- dent body sat and socialized or watched the game. On the floor, the game pro- ceeded and baskets were exchanged. But at the end of the Varsity bench, there were nine empty spaces. For one reason or another, seniors Brian Bullock, Mike Casey, Tony Reese, Lewis, jerrold McNeal, Quitman juniors Robert Richardson and Rick and sophomore Tracy Beaure- were all missing from the team. Bob Bessenbacher said, It was This forced us to use people should have been playing on another He continued, We were too small we are probably the only school that that many players, and none of them to graduation. Though this was tough, it gave an op- to some of the underclassmen get some varsity experience. Accord- to Felix Childress f11j the best thing t the season was that, I got to play lot of varsity time. Others such as joh- nell Davis 191 and Dwight Spratling Q95 were brought up after the end of the Freshman season. Both players participat- ed on the Freshman, jV and Varsity levels. The best part was moving to Varsity. I was scared at first but then I realized it was just like playing the older guys in gym. Another loss of people was not ap- parent on the bench, but in the stands. This was most obvious after half time when most people would leave. james Dillon t12j said, We would be leading at halftime then everyone would leave and then we would lose. It couldn't have hurt, said Tony Brown 1125, referring to increased crowd support. But according to Bill McTernan f11j, We had a pretty good group of fans at the beginning of the year and we couldn't have asked for much more. The big question becomes what is needed for improvement for next year's ball club. Dion Mims f11j said, Keeping everything and everybody together. We need to work on the fast break and being more aggresive on defense, said Chad Middleton C105 talking about the technical aspects of basketball. McTernan summed up the season by saying, It was wild. We lost nine players and by the end it became a little tiring and boring. - - Cireg Kalik Taking a technical foul shot against Belton, Dion Mims 1111 releases the ball with no one around.

Until this year, these two shots were not worth the same amount of points, but with the introduction of the three point shot into High School Basket- ball, they are now. High School Basketball this year became the last to put into effect a three point shot. The NBA was the first, putting their shot at 23 feet. Next, the NCAA went to a three point shot, starting the line at 21 feet and eventually moving the line to 18 feet. This aspect has changed the game. Chad Middleton 1103 said, lf you're down by two, you can still win. You can change the game with one shot. The three point shot didn't par- ticularly help out the Center Basket- ball teams. lerry Runyan 1101 said, No one could hit it consistently.

By the end of this game, some more people have filed into the gymnasium, to see the varsity basketball game. By the time the Varsity team has started, the players have already showered and dressed. They de- Cide to either stick around or leave and go l10me. These teams, if it is not already obvi- OUS, are the junior varsity squads for both the boys and girls. They are the teams that Pf0vide the players with experience to ul- timately play on the varsity level. Bubba Allison 1105 said, It has definitely helped, since we learn a lot more so we basically know what we're doing when we get to varsity. The experience not only comes from running the plays and learning the basics but also from the improvements in team- work since the beginning of the season. David Anders 1101 said, Through practice we have learned how each other play and now, we play more as a team. The girls felt the same.

After the stunned cafeteria couldn't formulate a re- sponse, Morris continued, It's the start of wrestling season! Unfortunately for the wrestling team, it was also the start of a season of adversity. According to Morris, the team had to start over. We pretty much had to start from scratch with an entirely new team. We had a good core group, but we lost a lot of strong members from the previous year and we had to call on new people to fill the gaps. Because of the loss of older, more ex- perienced wrestlers, Morris was left with a considerably young team. During meets, our sophomores were left wres- tling the more experienced seniors from other schools. This of course, put our team into the underdog position without much of a chance to pull out of it. To add to this season's obstacles, the team was also plagued with injuries. A few daily practices were yet another struggle. A typical day in practice consisted of 200 sit-ups, 200 push-ups, and about 20 min- utes of running. What was left of the re- maining 2 hour time period was then spent on wrestling moves and techniques. lohn Kinsinger 1121 said of practices, The running and live wrestling are the hardest part of the workouts, but those help us the most in the long run. But according to George Engle 41111, that's what the sport of wrestling is all about. To be a wrestler, you have to have dedication, concentration, and be willing to go through long hard hours of prac- tice. It was those strenuous hours of prac- tice that put the team on top anyway. Be- cause for Morris, winning wasn't every- thing. My main goal is not to win but to get as many guys involved in the sport as possible. I know that sounds ludicrous, but it takes a real man to suffer defeat and walk away knowing you did your best. - - Sonya Cox dwards, Mel' loddy Lasleyf I wrestlers were hurt in meets and practices 'lUNlOR VARSH-Y KN WRESTUNG and were unable to compete, throwing 32:5 33 mgtgrrr y the team out of synch. ge-mer 33 iotpfrusvgh nh f f ' W' ty , enter s ace mis es X But even that wasn't the end of their sagem Tournament t 16 66 Ray Pec troubles.

At last, the long awai. ted Powderpuff football game began. If it was as simple as just another foot. ball game, this wouldn't seem any differ. ent than most other games played on Center's'turf. But Powderpuff had a spe. cial twist all its own, The girls dominated this battle of the fittest. All of the compo. nents were the same, except that pads were replaced by rip-away flags, and tack- ling was against the rules. Down in the locker room behind closed C-room doors, members of C- Club labored to put the final touches on this fundraiser. They'd tried this project before, but not for three years. As Charles Welsh 1121 explained, We thought it would help school spirit and be some- thing people would like. Apparently, Powderpuff was something that students liked, as slots sold out rapidly. Through meetings and activities, C- Club tried to promote good sportsman- ship for all clubs and sports. Andre Echols 1111 said, We have lots of good ideas, its just hard to always get them going. Well, this plan appeared to go off without a hitch. The girls had spent many evenings and weekends learning the game from the football players who had turned coaches for the special event. On the day of the game, baby blue and yellow sweatshirts designed by artist Andy Kal- lem 1121, were a popular outfit. With the guys on the sidelines wear- ing the skirts and lending the pants to the ladies, the game went off like a true opp0' site sketch. There was only one injured knee and few minor mud stains with a final victory for the seniors and freshmen of 6- 0. Susie Caruso 1111 said, lt's about time the girls got a chance to show what they- 're really made of. - - lana East -at Paula Humo 1121 stands on the sideline, getting PSY' ched up to put her plays into action at the Powdef' puff game.

Photo: Craig Peltzie F TER ALL IS SAID A D DoNE On the opening pages of this book, we promised to take you underneath it all, giving you a springboard to start uncov- ering your own memories of the year as you lived it. But after 222 pages, you can see that all we really did was simply scratch the surface. Buried beneath the photos, stories and general facts we presented to you are an enormous number of specific memorable details that triggered your emotions and laid the foundation for the year. Since we can't come up with 1000 different yearbooks, the next step is up to you. What little things did you find under- neath it all? Maybe you'll remember the obnox- ious blaring of the fire alarms, which start- ed out as a fun diversion from class, but became more of a nuisance as the joke got older and the weather got colder. Maybe Friday nights will come to mind, whether you spent them at football games, Taco Bell, 103rd Park, work, or some school-re- lated activity. Maybe you'll recall the jour- ney home on February 10 after the Blizzard of '88 made driving on Troost, Holmes and Wornall extremely treacher- ous. Perhaps you'll think about Home- coming and the eerie ring of Tecata in D Minor, as it announced the arrival of the gruesome Senior Float. Tired feet might come to mind, as students wanting tickets for Cats, Good Morning Vietnam, or the U2 and Sting concerts more often than not found a Sold Out sign waiting for them at the box office. Maybe you'll re- member the show-stealing performances of Anything Goes. Those of you who saw the fall musical know exactly what I'm talking about. But memories aren't always pleasant. We discovered what college students go through as the school implemented a rig- orous final exam schedule. We protested against changes that were forced upon usp changes ranging from a security guard to silent homerooms to well-meaning pos- ters that happened to have advertising on them. We learned that racism could hit home, even twenty years after Martin Lu- ther King's assassination. We felt frusta- tion with impossible Algebra problems, the pain of unrequited love, and disap- pointment of college rejection notices. ln September, we saw how much our lives could be affected by tragedy after a car ac- cident took the life of our friend Chris Lewis. But even more important are the smaller details locked away in our person- al unconscious that nevertheless played a role in your year. Mornings brought the smell of fresh cookies baking in the school ovens, and sometimes, less enjoyable aro- mas. From out on the football field, the marching band provided background music to do Calculus or Biology by. Per- haps you received roses on Valentine's Day or a detention for one too many tar- dies. Maybe you'll remember the Decem- ber stomach flu epidemic or the under- classman who tried to copy everything you did or said. Whatever it was, it was probably important to you. But as the book reaches its final pages, you may wonder, did we really give you this springboard we promised? Sure, we may have missed a few details about your year, but that would take the fun away from you. What's important is that some- where, you find a picture, quote, or even a friend's autograph scribbled in the mar- gins that gives you a memory to carry with you for the rest of your life. The success of this book depends on whether the school year had anything worth remem- bering for you. And underneath it all, it did. - - jeff Field Closing 223 The 1988 edition of the 224 page Yellowjacket of Center Senior High School, 8715 Holmes, Kansas City, Missouri, 64131, was printed on 80 lb. high gloss enamel paper stock and published by Wals- worth Publishing Company, 306 North Kansas Ave- nue, Marceline, Missouri 64658.

The '87 Yellowjacket Staff somehow won the Sweepstakes award from jEMKC, four first place awards from MIPA, and a mark of distinction in copy from NSPA. The '87 staff also produced a 24 page supplement and a literary magazine, Contrabano' which was recognized as a Center of Excellence and one of the top 25 in the nation by the National Coun- cil of Teachers of English. Three PEZ days, a Secular Secret Santa gift ex- change, deadline awards, top ten lists, hallway fris- bee games, stupid staff tricks and caption contests helped keep morale up. Underneath it all, the point is that you now have a 1988 yearbook, and we had fun putting it together. That's all we ever really wanted.
