1981 MOGUL Chaffee High School 109 North Fifth Chaffee Missouri 63740 Seniors Student Life Staff Elementary Honors and Organizations Memories Sports Dedication In recognition of Clarence Wessel's many years of service in the field of education. We, the Mogul Staff, dedicate the 1981 yearbook in his behalf. Associated with the Chaffee School District for more than thirty-three years, Mr. Wessel has served in such diverse roles as teacher, coach, and principal. As a coach, Mr. Wessel saw the need to expand the extra-curricular activities at CHS as well the community by organizing both high school baseball and Little League. A long-standing member of Chaffee’s Park Board, a member of the Southeast Missouri Amateur Baseball Hall of Fame and Board of Directors, Clarence Wessel greatly aided the community through his strong support and organization of the baseball program. Sunday school teacher, sportsman, husband, father, grandfather and educator, Mr. Wessel has given CHS many years of growth and development, as well as leadership and a strong sense of camaraderie. 3 Mogul Staff 80-81 By Edie Daughtery, Kevin Miller The 1980-81 school year marked the addition of a new class with the goal of producing the yearbook, the Mogul. School publications class under the direction of Ms. Joy Cutler was created to improve the Mogul by making it more journalis- tically correct. Each student was assigned a specific task in the assembling of the yearbook, whether it was editing, designing layouts, or promoting sales, each task was important in the production of a quality publication. The theme chosen by the Mogul staff, “On the Road Again reflected the western craze the nation was involved in. It also had a personal meaning to Senior Tammy Williams portrays the right arm of Ms. Cutler by fulfilling the duties of editor. Her past experience as a member of the Mogul staff designates her as a leader in the classroom. Her job includes working in close relation with each of her classmates. many students as one senior pointed out, “It's suppose to represent how seniors are on to a different life, on the road to something new. For the School Publications class “On the Road Again symbolized the introduction of new ideas in the journalistic form of the Mogul. Changes were made in the 1980-81 yearbook with emphasis focusing mainly on the whole population of CHS. Person- ality photographs of the under- classmen were omitted with royalty information being excluded in the senior directory. The goals of School Publications became a reality as they used their skill and talents on the road to a better yearbook.

Goin’ places that I’ve never been . . . Seeing things that I may never see again . . . I can’t wait to get on the road again. Willie Nelson-Honeysuckle Rose A new era is upon us. Not one of flashing lights and discoes but one of quiet, back to basic, casual living. It's an era of freedom, cowboys, and just enough recklessness to allow us to really get “on the road again’’. Out of a nation that has faithfully followed Donna Summers and the Bee Gees, a new group of people have emerged - those who have gone country. The era is now one of western clothes, western television shows, and country western music. Everyone’s in on it. Dallas cowboy businessman, J. R. Ewing, works his stock in the office while the President routinely returns to his roots, a western ranch in California. Even John Travolta took a giant leap from New York’s disco floor to the stompin' grounds of Houston. Students at Chaffee High School have followed such examples who teach us it’s chic to be country. One example of the new western trend found at CHS is the new dress fad for students. Straight leg Levis are the popular choice for the lower half, while flannel shirts and down vests are clothes most often seen on the upper half. Boots on the feet and a cowboy hat on the top finishes off the look that everyone wants - country. The popular mode of 6 Mogul Staff swings into the western craze by shopping for the latest western apparel at Kielhofner’s Clothing located at 110 Yoakum in Chaffee. transportation is a fourwheel drive and almost everyone’s choice of music has swung towards country western. Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, and Waylon Jennings are now heard often on local radio stations. All these changes at Chaffee High School reflect the new trend moving across the nation: the trend to go country. In keeping with the new idea, the yearbook staff chose a western theme for the annual Mogul Dance. The theme followed that of the 1981 yearbook, “On the Road Again”, and the gym was outfitted like a real country barn with the hay scattered and Candidates for Mogul King wearing cowboy hats. It was a school dance, not Gilleys. The new era that was introduced during our school year is one of free spirits and reckless times. The clothes are casual and the life-style even more casual, but like the cowboys of old who traveled west to find a new life, we too must get “On the Road Again. “On the road again.” “I just can’t wait to get on the road again.” Willie Nelson-Honeysuckle Rose 7 “Just Acting1 Up!” Once in every student’s life, the senior year comes along, and accord- ing to Webster's New Secondary School Edition, it falls humorously enough between senility which means foolishness caused by old age and seniority a status obtained by length of service. The word “senior” meaning higher in rank and having to do with the last year in high school oftentimes fails to draw a complete picture of the true “senior. This was the case at CHS where seniors were caught “Just acting Up! Transform- ing their “higher energy into creative wizardry, members of the Senior Class under the direction and guidance of senior sponsors Coach Mick Wessel and Coach Larry Cleair successfully presented the three act comedy.

It was their first attempt at fund raising and the juniors started the year off with the first CHS Twirp Dance held on November 22. Other fund raising activities included such projects as candy sales and tumbler sales as well as a bicycle raffle. Perhaps the most devoted of all juniors were the class officers, with the assistance of sponsors, Mr. Fred Graham and Ms. Susan White.

High school seemed like a whole new world for the Freshman class, but once entered, was found exciting. Academic and extracurricular activities began to dominate the lives of the rookie high school students. Many fund raising projects such as selling candy bars and magazines aided them in their attempts to make money. Sponsors, Mrs. Jean Davies and Mrs. Joan Gones helped to inspire the freshman with their fund raising projects as well as aiding them in the adjustment from junior to senior high school. The Freshman Class started out the year unaware of what was ahead and completed it with enough confidence built up to last the rest of their high school years.

Dawn Shelton was just one of the thirty-five eighth grade students who participated in the third annual Missouri Basic Essential Skills Test. Another eighth grader, Tracy Kinder feels that one should know the basic skills that were tested, while Shawn Jobe thought, “It was easy, but could not be studied for. The language and government was easy but the math really shook me up.” On the other hand, Mike Rains contrast- ed saying that to him the Math was easy. Following the comple- tion of the test the class, breathing a sigh of relief, regained their temporary su- premacy only to have it lost once again as they enter their fresh- men year in high school.

Bombarded with a number of new experiences that involved both academic and social aspects, the seventh graders faced what seemed like a load of homework. Recesses disappeared and were replaced with study hall. In comparing grade school to junior high, CHS tiniest co-ed Susie Hill, pictured at the left, replied quickly, “The day goes by much faster. Getting to change classes every hour keeps the boredom down.' Seventh graders became socially active, also. Parties and friendly relationships with the opposite sex became a part of life. Competition also took a new part in life. Sports were no longer played among themselves but with other schools in football, basketball and track. With all the new experiences, the seventh grade class of 1981 ended the school year feeling a few inches bigger both inside and out.

Seeing more challenges with a more flexible time schedule as well as a variety of duties, Dr. Payne, turning to administration after several years in the classroom decided to further his career through administration. Being an important part of CHS for two years, Dr. Payne feels he has with the help of others, accomplished much. “Financially, we have made a 180 degree turnabout, as well as many advances in our facilities, activities and curriculum. When asked to make an appraisel of the faculty and students at CHS, Dr. Payne responded, “The faculty as a whole is good and the students general behavior is superior. In fact a final one word synopsis of the students would be, great!” Board of Education Dewayne Bryant Virginia McConnell Wayne Richbourg Philip Dame President Wayne Ford Judy Seabaugh Completing his last year as CHS Principal, Mr. Clarence “Gus Wessell had become a household word. It was not uncommon to find Principal Wessel holding class, taking care of custodial duties or simply driving a pep bus to an away game. Caring out administrative duties although highest priority was only a part of the job he had mastered so well. Although looking forward to retirement. Principal Wessel expressed the great satisfaction of being a part of CHS. Jewell Stephens Secretary to the Superintendent “If you have a problem I can help, may have been lyrics written by Southeast Missourian Billy Swan, but it was also a familiar phrase spoken often by Chaffee High School Guidance Counselor, Roger Tatum. Mr. Tatum expressed disappointment about graduation from a high school that did not have a guidance counselor. He felt that is what sparked him into becoming a counselor and entering the world of high school education. His long range plans included thoughts on becoming a superintendent. Mr. Tatum’s advice for students in high school was to be sure and make it a time for learning, fun. and maturing. Barbara Arnold Secretary to the Principal 45 Meanwhile. . Back At CHS teachers get back to basics. A return to readin’, ritin, and rithmetic was evident in Chaffee High’s 1980-81 academic program. English classes were offered throughout the jr. and high school levels with one foreign language, French, being an elective. Mathematics was also stressed in CHS curriculum. Students obtained the basics in jr. high and advanced to such courses as Algebra, geometry, and trig. Science was well represented in all aspects including physical science, biology and physics while history courses touched on world news, economics, and government. Business courses, which included typing, and various home economic classes shared the third building with two other CHS electives, music and industrial arts. The arts were well covered by classes in general art for jr. high students with classes ranging from macrame to oil painting for high school students. Special students could find working with Mrs. Drew helpful while athletes were able to display their talents during physical education. With the wide variety of classes and helpful faculty, students left the 1980-81 school year assured of knowing the three R’s. The Ranch . . . Greeted by a warm gentle smile, a tall brunette Rebecca Crippen remarked that she hardly notices her own son in her 6th hour English class and feels that she treats everyone equally. Teaching English for more than eight years in St. Louis County, Mrs. Crippen bragged that living and teaching in a small town was much more enjoyable. Language Arts The old saying “dumb blonde may be true in some cases, but certainly not in Chaffee’s Jr. High English Department where Ms. Joy Cutler teaches English, reading, and high school publications. An alumna of CHS, Ms. Cutler enjoys teaching jr. high classes. As she pointed out, “I enjoy watching my students grow both physically and mentally.” Ms. Cutler’s future plans included gaining tenure and perhaps branching off in other areas such as administration. 46 Foreign Language London, Paris, and Rome, the European traveler was Mrs. Joan Gones or “Madame Gones” as she was frequently called by students. Due to the fact that she was Chaffee High’s foremost and only French teacher. French was often taught in her other classes. Other than teaching a foreign language, “Madame Gones” conducted both composition and English classes. As a veteran teacher of fourteen years, Mrs. Gones has sponsored such organizations as French Club, Beta Club, and various classes. According to Mrs. Gones, teaching is two full time jobs. Mathematics Teaching students the basics of algebra, proofs and theorems of geometry, or the principles of trigonometry was the daily routine of Mr. Larry Cleair, teacher and coach at Chaffee High School. Mr. Cleair, who always enjoyed going to school, wants to make sure he doesn’t teach just because it is the only thing he knows how to do. Expressing his desire not to scare people away from math, he strives to make it challenging to those who work hard. Coach Cleair’s main goal as a teacher is to maintain the high quality of the math program at Chaffee. Michael Wessel strikes fear in the junior high students as he begins each class by slamming the door. Mr. Wessel can be compared to the Hulk” by his brawny exterior contrasting with his generous interior. The students he teaches in class as well as those he instructs on the football field and basketball court could best explain his abstract idea. Coaching and teaching are loves of Mr. Wessel, but his number one love is farming. 47 Science Whether it's on the basketball court or in the classroom, Chaffee High’s Coach Jim Davis exhibits an air of excitement. As one of the youngest teachers employed at CHS, his vitality rubs off not only in the jr. high science program but also in the athletic department where he coaches j.v. and jr. high basketball. A native of Southeast Missouri, Mr. Davis plans to continue teaching in the area. As he stated, I'm from Southeast Missouri and I imagine that’s where I’ll stay.’’ Chaffee High School’s chemistry and physics teacher, Mr. Charles Goddard is very much like Einstein's theory, E = mc2. He too, is equal to alot of energy. In addition to teaching one hour a day, he also served as coach for both the boys’ and girls’ tennis teams. Looking back on his teaching career, Mr. Goddard realizes he has accomplished much as an educator. As he confessed, I think I've accomplished much when I look at all the students who have become doctors who have been in my biology class, and all who have become engineers from my chemistry class. That's an excellent way to look back on a long teaching career of forty-two years. Working part time as a biology teacher, Mrs. Helen Payne explained that she liked working shorter hours because she was more able to spend time with her family. Devoted to family life as well as teaching, Mrs. Payne sees education as one of the most important goals in life. A former jr. high science teacher at CHS, Mrs. Payne prefers teaching biology at the senior high level. Library Science Entering the CHS library no matter what was being sought after, be it information concerning a research paper or just a enjoyable novel, Mrs. Anna Howard, librarian, was willing to lend a helping hand Mrs. Howard began her librarian duties immediately after graduating from Southeast Missouri State University. She enjoys working at CHS mainly because she likes being around young people. Mrs. Howard has set many goals she hopes to attain, the main one is an updated library. 48 History In the educational field for close to thirty years, Mr. E. E. McConnel former coach and administrator finds class room teaching much more rewarding. Pointing out the basic duties of government, Mr. McConnel stresses the importance of each individual’s responsibility to learn governmental policies and procedures. “After all, he stated with his dry sense of humor, it’s something none of us can escape.” Often times students think of school as a prison. Maybe that’s because CHS had an ex-prison guard on staff, Mrs. Stella Dunavin, known to the students as Lieutenant Colonel Dunavin. Nursery school director, social worker, and prison guard were some of Mrs. Dunavin’s formerly held positions. Ironically, she admitted that she did not thrive off a life of excitment. By being a teacher Mrs. Dunavin hoped to be of some service to the students by teaching them better study habits as well as teaching more about living and working. Business Clerical students discovered an efficient Mrs. Jean Davis sitting at her desk hard at work. CHS students regard Mrs. Davis as a serious minded teacher willing to assist them. Mrs. Davis pointed out that if she hadn’t gone into teaching she would have chosen employment in the field of business management. Mrs. Davis is pleased with her occupation and plans to continue teaching in the future. Home Economics A small brunette who gives the impression of bubbling with energy is Mrs. Holly Wohlwend, alias to home-ec students as “Holly Homemaker.” Teaching has been Mrs. Wohlwend’s occupation for technically two years. Prior to becoming a teacher she worked at the Rialto Theatre popping popcorn and sidelined as an alterations person at Buckner Ragsdale. She admitted that at first she thought of herself more as a student than a teacher, yet Mrs. Wohlwend has proved herself capable of making the separation between the teacher student relationship. Art An artist is a person defined as one who practices an art in which imagination and skill are joined to produce works that appeal to man's sense of beauty. This can be applied to one of Chaffee High School’s teachers, Mrs. Marnet Eftink. Mrs. Eftink, Chaffee’s senior art teacher, could be considered a highly creative, skillful, and imaginative person. Thoroughly enjoying working with several types of art such as pottery, macrame, and painting, Mrs. Eftink stated she desired to devote even more time to art in the future. Smoothness combined with easygoingness was apparent in the action of seventh and eighth grade art teacher. Miss Tammy Craig. Whether it was a problem with school, home, or peers, students at Chaffee High School knew that they could go to Miss Craig for advice. As a dedicated teacher, she cherished a closeness with her students. Miss Craig enjoyed the friendly atmosphere at Chaffee and liked the everyday variation that took place in the teaching profession. A love of her job and an eminent dedication certainly was the “name of the game” for Miss Tammy Craig. Music Students walking to their fifth hour class might have caught a glimpse of a short, red head leading CHS Band onto the football field. This could only describe Chaffee Band Director, Miss Susan White. In Miss White’s teenage years, it was not music that made her blue eyes light up, but it was the mention of nursing. However, her love for music became evident and Miss White decided to make music her life goal. When asked if she could be anybody in the world Miss White replied “I just like being me! Industrial Arts Seeing CHS students as likeable but different, Mr. Fred Graham a former counselor at Farmington Junior High School strongly believes teaching depends greatly on one’s total outlook. Confident about his work, Mr. Graham bravely accepted the enormous task of Junior Class sponsor and quickly became the juniors “Hero at Large.’’ 50 Physical Education After competing in sports for a majority of his life, Rick Chastain chose to devote his life to teaching. His love for sports gave him a great amount of self satisfaction and by being a teacher and coach the athletic surroundings were provided. After teaching for only two years, Chastain has yet to experience feelings of regret. No matter where he is seen be it in the classroom or on the football, basketball or baseball sidelines, he possesses a certain air of confidence. This may be why the CHS students recognize Coach Chastain as “Macho Man.” Winning the Rotary Club Award for 1980 in the field of education, coach and teacher Terry Glenzy attempts to help the students in every way possible. Coach Glenzy feels that in coaching one can teach students better, “There is much more discipline required in athletics than in the classroom.” Having received several awards over the years for his fine work in many different areas, he confessed, “the biggest reward is when former students come back to talk and visit showing that they haven’t forgotten you.” Mrs. Carol Bumgardaner, on staff since 1971, has become a familiar face to all junior high and senior high girls enrolled in physical education. Known to most as “Mrs. B.“, she also coaches girls’ volleyball and girls’ track. Whether it was in the classroom or on the playing field, Mrs. Bumgardaner was prepared for competition. Wanting her students to enjoy the athletic program at CHS, she also stressed the importance of accepting the responsibility of becoming a good athlete and student. Special Services Although Mrs. Barbara Drew did not possess the strength of the Incredible Hulk, strong willed she got the job done. Any job worth doing according to Mrs. Drew is worth doing right. Not being a perfectionist she believed people should do their best. Mrs. Drew feels that with her class being one of informal attitude that sometimes she accomplishes more by just being a friend, instead of a teacher. She feels that the individualized instructing of her class makes it a helpful and meaningful part of Chaffee s curriculum. 51 Custodial Staff Mr. Don McLemore Custodial Supervisor Mrs. Judy Cobb Mr. Bob McLemore Mr. Fred Keller Chaffee Elementary Principal Larry A. Chapman Mr. Larry A. Chapman, a graduate from Southeast Missouri State University has served Chaffee Elementary School for two years. Taking an active part in local PAT, Mr. Chapman works hard to keep his staff aware of students' educational needs. Chaffee Elementary Staff Coordinating office responsibilities was secretary Mary Francis Burnett. It is common knowledge that some children fail to learn to read, write, and perform normal math formulas. Because of this, a remedial approach known as Special Services has evolved. Federally funded, the pro- gram deals with problems outside the ordinary classroom. Serving in the teacher capacity was second year coordinator of special services. Ms. Janet South. Also serving as a special educator was Mrs. Carolyn Pittman assisted by Mrs. Marie Williams. “The idea of special help no longer carries a stigma” as expressed by Title I (Remedial Reading) Coordina- tor, Mrs. Nancy McGrew. Mrs. McGrew motivates students by using a point system which can lead to many rewards. 54 Pictured top left is Mrs. Sanda Goddard first year teacher at CHS elementary.

The ballots were tabulated and the new officers were announced as follows. Pre- sident, Amanda Duncan; Vice- President. Jim Williams; Secretary- Treasurer, Bob Wallace and Histor- ian, Donna Treadway. The 1981 school year began with the election of the class representatives. Each class nominated four can- didates and after one week of campaigning the classes voted and selected the following representives. Seniors, Jane Montgomery and Cindy Keller; Junior, Jim Cobb; So- phomores, Angela Duncan and George Craigmiles; Freshmen, Kevin Urhan, Julie Townsend and Tammy Spane. The vacant officers position of Corresponding Secretary was filled by Susie Welter. 71 72 Beta Club New sponsors Mrs. Holly Wolwend and Mrs. Stella Dunivan extended invitations to join Beta Club in early October. Students achieving a grade average of B or above were con- sidered for membership. Although superior grades were one require- ment for membership, students were also expected to maintain a high level of citizenship. Beginning in November, members held fund raising activities to enable them to attend the National Beta Club Convention in St. Louis. Estab- lished members of the club assumed a magazine drive while new members initiated the sale of household products. Together the club spon- sored a spaghetti dinner. Officers serving during the 80-81 school year were Vicki Penrose, president; Patty Miller, vice pres- ident; Nancy Moudy, secretary and Janie Coomer, treasurer. 73 74 Pep Club Bonfires, pep rallies, and Homecom- ing were just a few of the activities tackled by the Senior High Pep Club during the 1980-81 school year. Led by the following officers: Vicki Penrose, president: Tammy Williams, vice-president; Amanda Duncan, secretary; and Janie Coomer, trea- surer; with sponsor, Mrs. Stella Dunavin, the Pep Club sought to keep spirits high during all the athletic seasons. During a rather disappoint- ing football season, the pep squad raised spirits by holding a bonfire, which was accompanied by a snake dance through the streets of Chaffee. All members also purchased match- ing shirts which certainly set the group off from the crowd. Homecom- ing week, complete with the 2nd annual Wacky Olympics on Friday, was a huge success, especially for Angela Duncan, sophomore, who was chosen Homecoming Queen by the Student Body. Basketball season was different from the beginning because of the forma- tion of two separate cheerleading squads for the boys and girls basketball teams. Sandy Senciboy was crowned Queen during a week of fund-raising while an evening bonfire-wiener roast was also a highlight of basketball season. As final recognition to those active members, the club was rewarded with a trip to Six Flags. 75 76 FHA HERO The 1980-81 year proved to be productive for the Chaffee Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America. Honored by the State Association for doubling its membership with twenty percentile being male, sponsor Mrs. Holly Wohlwend, officers, and members put forth great effort in making the year a success. Senior, Jerome Eichorn at regional workshop was recognized for his outstanding participation in the chapter’s activities. Mrs. Wohlwend was also selected as the region’s honorary member at the regional meeting hosted by Chaffee. Beginning the year with the annual Banana Split Party, FHA also initiated the first Co-Ed Bunking Party. Other activities included the Hal- loween Masquerade Ball, Thanksgiv- ing skit, and Christmas party. A balloon Lift Off, skate-a-thon, and dance-a-thon in which a thirty-five square foot birthday cake was served as refreshments were among the events that were celebrated during National FHA-HERO Week, which started February 8. The annual FHA Banquet with new officer installation, a trip to Six Flags, and the Spring Formal completed the year. By Judi Frazier 77 78 French Club Throughout the 1980-81 school year. CHS French Club enjoyed fun filled activities. Besides business meetings, parties were conducted to help promote a social atmosphere for French students. Parties included a back to school party, a Christmas party, an Easter party as well as individual birthday parties. French Club, how- ever; was not just an organization of parties and dinners. The promotion of foreign language which fostered a better understand- ing of the English language was also a primary purpose of French Club. Activities which aided students in French conversation included the use of puppets constructed and used by French II students. French culture was embodied into French Club as it enjoyed a French dinner especially prepared by Cape’s Holiday Inn on Shrove Tuesday. Just as the first ten charter members did when they joined in 1968, the 18 members of 1980-81 found much comfort and enjoyment in belonging to French Club.

During the ’80 season the road was a little rocky for the Devils. “It was quite different after winning two years and going to state then suffering a losing season. replied Coach Wessel about the ’80 season. Although the mistakes were limited the season started off badly for the Devils with a loss at Malden. The Devils didn’t reach the win column until the fifth game of the season as they defeated the South Pemiscot Bulldogs 35-8. The Devils took the second game of the season from East Prairie — a big win for the football team and school, as its highlighted Homecoming Week. The Devils offense had a super game with East Prairie in one series having all four of their downs and the ball inside the five yard-line. After the four downs the Devil defense held the Eagles scoreless — a turning point in the game as the Devils went on to win the game 19-0. Chaffee was unable to win another game the rest of the year losing to Perryville, then losing to arch rival Illmo-Scott City (conference champs). The game was evenly matched with both teams having several long drives and neither team having to use a punter. The Devil football cheerleaders helped in getting the Devils spirit up for the game as they decorated the players houses and lockers then serving breakfast early that morning in the home-economics room. It was not enough though as the Devils lost 21-7. Two of the Devils opponents and state qualifiers Dexter and Caruthersville proved to be tough opposition during the season as Caruthersville went on to take second in state. The Devils were defeated earlier in the season by Caruthersville 28-0. Although the Devils experienced a tough schedule Coach Wessel still felt there were several bright spots for the team over the season. The running of junior, Jeff Heath provided the biggest part of Chaffee’s offense throughout the season as he became Chaffee’s second all-time leading rusher with 1,114 yards. In two games he picked up 545 yards, 290 in the win over South Pemiscot and 255 in the Homecoming game against East Prairie. “Heath rushing over 1000 yards on a team that was 2-7 made the season a little better,’’ claimed Coach Wessel. Above, Running back Jeff Heath shows his excellent running ability in the Homecoming game against East Prairie. Jeff had one of his best nights as he rushed for 255 yards to lead the Devils to a 19-0 victory. Candid pictures furnished by Bullentin Journal. Several underclassmen served as another bright spot during the season. “Our underclassmen saw alot of playing time and demonstrated a great deal of improvement and maturity throughout the season, recalled Coach Wessel. Having so many experienced underclassmen back next season, the Devils, through hard work and determination have a better shot at something that many teams never accomplish...............a state championship! 100 Above, The 1980 Fighting Red Devils.

Besides the regular football and basketball cheerleading squads, new squads were added for boys’ junior varsity basketball and girls’ basketball. Tryouts were held throughout the year for each new squad. Open to both boys and girls, the week long clinics produced four squads made up of thirteen girls from the freshman to the senior class. Cheerleaders were chosen according to such qualities as poise and coordination, spirit and enthusiasm, voice control and eye contact, as well as general appearance and general cheering ability. A new addition to the cheerleading squads was the new school mascot played by sophomore Patty Bucher. Patty masked as a true young Devil performed many hours for the home crowds. 106 Football mascot pictured top right: Jennifer Gordon. Football cheer- leaders (top left) were Juanita Petryzyn, junior; Robin Umfleet, junior; mascot Patty Bucher, so- phomore; Dolly Pruitt, sophomore. Row 2: Stacy Duniphan, sophomore; Cindy Keller, senior; captain Vicki Penrose, senior. Boys’ basketball cheerleaders were (left to right) Marie Bucher, junior; captain Vicki Penrose, senior; Lisa Shelton, sophomore; Cindy Keller, senior; Robin Umfleet, junior. 107 Girls’ Basketball Cheerleaders Boys’ J-V Basketball Cheerleaders Cheering on the girls’ basketball team for the 1981 season was Captain Janie Coomer, junior; Robin Newcomer, sophomore; Jan Halbert; senior and Tammy Askew, sophomore. The boys' junior varsity basketball cheerleading squad was made up of freshmen Mary Houston, Donna Keller, Geri Guiling, Julie Townsend and captain Lisa Pobst. 108 CHS junior varsity girls had a disappointing season finishing with a 0-12 record. Although the girls went without a win all season, the evidence shown by their record doesn’t illustrate the determination they pos- sessed. With the exception of one senior, sophomores made up the junior varsity squad coached by Rick Chastain. Boys and Girls J.V. Show Possibilities For Success The junior varsity finished with a record of 2-16. They were led throughout the season in scoring by Soph. - George Craigmiles with a 15 point average. He was followed by Soph. - Tim Enderle who finished the season with a 9 point average before moving up to the varsity where he averaged 6 points. Soph. - David Kirch- doerfer finished with a 4 point average. Fresh. - Kevin Uhrhan and Mike Mitchell finished the season with 7 and 4 point averages. 109 4 - 19, W-e-1-1 . . . Losing four of the top starters from last year’s team made the 1980-81 basketball season one of less experience and depth. With junior - Doug Sanders being the only returning starter from last season starting three juniors and two seniors, the Red Devils took their beatings ending the season at 4-19. Opening the seasn in the Oran Tournament, the Devils found it difficult as they dropped the first game of the season to the Scott Central Braves 93-48. The Devils’ losing streak continued as they lost their next four games to Jackson, Matthews, Notre Dame and the undefeated Wood- land Cardinals. Suddenly, the losing streak came to an end in spectacular fashion as the Devils pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the year in the U-High Christmas Tournament as they avenged an earlier loss to the Woodland Cardinals win- ning in overtime 52-50. Playing in the cold because of furnace problems, the Devils soon got the place heated up putting on a superb exhibition of basketball. The Devils stayed with the experienced Woodland Team throughout the first half going to the locker room at half time down by three. In the second half the Devils blitzed the Cardinals taking the game into overtime. With over a minute remaining, both teams took several shots at the bucket with neither team able to get one to drop. Finally with :03 on the clock senior - Joe McLemore lofted a 20 foot jumpshot that hit nothing but net giving the Devils their first victory. The Devils only other regular season wins came against Perry- ville, and Oak Ridge. The final win came against Meadow Heights in the first round of districts as they demolished them 89-46. Playing the Scott Central Braves in the first game of the season the Devils also found the Braves to be their last opponent as they defeated the Devils 103-75 in second round districts. The Devils were led in offense by junior - Doug Sanders with 20 points and 11 rebounds per game. Senior - Kevin Groves finished his high school career with 11 points per game and an 80 percent free throw average. Junior - Kevin Phegley finished with a 10 point average while junior - Jeff Heath had a 4 point average, and senior - Joe McLemore finished his basket- ball career with a 3 point average. With such a difficult season, Coach Wessel still had praise for his Red Devils conceding, They were a group of players that never quit, worked very hard, were always trying to improve as the season progressed.” With returning experience for the 81-82 season, the Devils are sure to get back on track . . . . . . Winning!!! Lady Devils “Foul Out” Coming off of a 7-11 year, the CHS Lady Devils thought there was no where to go but up. However, after the 80-81 season with a record of 1-19, they discovered that they were obviously wrong. The loss of five seniors created the definite rebuild- ing problem. The opening game of the season found the Lady Devils playing host to archrival Illmo-Scott City. One of the most exciting games of the season, Chaffee, a team of less experience, was at the early stage of the season still searching for a winning combin- ation. The spunk and enthusiasm shown by the Lady Devils was not enough as they trailed by a score of 29-31. The losing streak continued for the next four games, losing to Sikeston in the Chaffee Invitational Tournament then Delta and Dexter in regular season play. The losing streak ended with their fifth game of the season against the East Prairie Eagles. Putting the season behind them, the Lady Devils, with plans of rebuilding, look forward to a more successful season. Kneeling are Angela Duncan, soph.; Rick Chastain, coach; Amanda Duncan, sr. Top row team members were Laura Perdue, soph.; Jill Harrel, sr.; Patty Miller, sr.; Emily Darby, soph.; Angela Whisler, jr. 112 113 Varsity Volleyball Gets “Spiked” Starting from scratch with four sophomores moving up to varsity positions, Carol Bumgardaner’s team developed early in the season. Seniors Jill Harrell and Robyn Spies returned to share the only exper- ience for the team. Starting the season at Sikeston, the Devils found themselves ungrouped as they lost 5-15, 15-12, 10-15. Their inexperience play continued as did their losing streak until they defeated arch-rival Illmo-Scott City, 15-5, 15-2. Gaining vast knowledge of exper- ienced play, the Lady Devils complet- ed the season with a 5-10 record boasting a 1st team conference choice, sophomore Laura Perdue. 114 Sophomore Laura Perdue J.V. Volleyball “Sets For Next Season Having to start out learning the three basic fundamentals of pass, set, and spike, the junior varsity soon began to develop into a team. After losing many experienced sopho- mores to the Varisty, the J.V. Devils had to play a majority of freshmen. After learning to work well as a team, they accomplished a record of 6-8. Team members are: Patty Bucher, Wendy Nanney, Dolly Pruitt, Tammy Spane, Stacy Duniphan. Corkie Wolfe, Sherri Sadler, and Robin Newcomer. 115 116 Row 1 (L to R) Cathy Reed, soph.; Nan Whistler, soph.; Tammy Askew, soph.; Lisa Eaker, soph.; Ann Whistler, soph.; Jan Halbert, sr.

Duncans Capture District Doubles Girls' Tennis at CHS has had some what less than winning seasons in the past, but the same story didn’t hold true for the 1980 girls' team. The team compiled 9 victories in 13 matches. These victories were made possible through the instruction and guidance of supporting coaches. Mr. Charles Goddard and Dr. John Payne. District Doubles Team Tammy Williams and Patty Miller District Singles Entrants Barbara Smith and Angela Whistler Team members participating in District play faired quite well finishing fifth overall among the many other schools represented. CHS players competing for district titles included Angela Whistler and Barbara Smith as singles entrants. Number one doubles were Amanda Duncan and Angela Duncan with the number two team of Tammy Williams and Patty Miller. Receiving the number one seed in the tournament, the Duncan sisters were lone survivors after the first round. Capturing the District Doubles title in straight sets. 7-6, 6-0, they moved on to the State Championships only to be defeated in second round action by the doubles from Clayton. The Duncans going to State was just icing on the cake after experiencing such a successful regular season play by all members of the CHS team. Payne, Whistler Dominate Boys’ Tennis CHS Boys' Tennis experienced a season of development after the loss of many graduating seniors. The 1981 team consisted mainly of underclassmen with the number one and two positions dominated by freshmen, Chris Payne and Jim Whistler. The two combined for five wins as a doubles team. Other members of the varsity team included Kevin Schaerf, junior; Alan Ford, freshman; Steve Hicks, so- phomore; and Terry Gramlisch. sophomore. The young team compiled 6 victories in 15 matches which was a remark- able feat considering their youth and experience. Gaining experience though, all members agreed that they look forward to an even more successful year in '82. Other members of the 1981 tennis team included Buddy Rushing, junior; Kevin Payne, sophomore; Roger Sadler, sophomore; Tim Richbourg, sophomore and Tom Hahn, so- phomore. Coaches for the team were Dr. John Payne and Charles God- dard. 117 Beginning the season many people felt as if the team was “Running On Empty.” With several of the out- standing track members having graduated, it was going to be a rebuilding year for the Devil run- ners. Winning several double meets against Kelly and ISC, the Devils soon entered into the larger meets. First, came the ISC Classic, where the Devils made a good showing taking home the third place trophy. Next came the Conference and E. P. Classic with the Red Devils taking second and third. When the regular season was over, the Devils headed toward district located at Willow Springs. The Devils took third overall and qualified three for state. During the state meet at Jeff City, Doug Sanders took first in the high jump for the second straight year with a jump of 6'6 Charlie Hinkle took fourth place in the 165m low hurdles and fifth in the 110m Front Row: S.

Off and Running- With four seniors out for track team, it looked like it was going to be down hill for the girls. But, through hard work and determination they developed into a very competitive team. With several schools in the area not having girls’ track, the Lady Devils had to run against Kelly and Hayti. They did fairly well too, as they beat Hayti who eventually went on to win state. The Lady Devils qualified two runners for the state meet at Jefferson City. Nan Whistler and Patty Bucher qualified to participate in the state meet. Both did very good as Nan placed tenth in the mile and Patty placed tenth in the two mile run. 120 Field Events High Jump Diamonds— Not Just for Girls Kirchdoerfer AB 51 R 8 H 17 RBI 8 AVG .333 Dannemueller 60 11 13 5 .217 Welter 56 17 19 8 .339 Leible 49 12 19 20 .388 Dooley 40 7 9 6 .225 McLain 46 5 12 8 .261 Enderle 28 7 6 2 .214 Uhrhan 35 8 7 6 .200 McLemore Joe 18 5 1 5 .056 Howard 39 7 12 6 .308 Crowe 6 2 1 0 .167 Eichorn 21 3 6 0 .238 Glency 4 2 0 1 .000 McLemore John 3 2 1 2 .333 Duncan 2 1 0 0 .000 122 David Kirchdoerfer Left Field Mitch Dooley Pitcher Sammy Glenzy Catcher Joe McLemore Center Field Tim Enderle Pitcher Jerome Eichorn Pitcher 123 Top: Darryl Welter, shortstop.

Lacking in size, the Jr. High Devils had to battle all the way as they played many tougher opponents. It just wasn't enough, however, as the team finished the season with a 0-3 record. Seventh Grade Runs Low On Experience Playing organized football for the first time, the seventh grade football players found out what it was really about. Like the eighth grade, they also lacked size but made up for it in hard work and determination. The seventh grade had a 0-2 record. 126 Chaffee’s seventh and eighth grade basketball teams had nearly the same seasons as they both finished the year with 3-6 records. The eighth grade team found them- selves underclassed to several compe- titive schools even though center Kurt Pfefferkorn provided a height advantage. The seventh grade team having just as much height as the opposing teams lacked the experience needed to keep the pace with the more qualified Scott Central and East Prairie. SEVENTH GRADE CJH - 13 .

The “Mogul was meant to capture some of those memories that students wish to remember most. Beginning a new journalistic format. We, The Mogul Staff, strived to improve the yearbook in several different ways. School publications class tried not only to include more candid pictures but also carry out a theme adding continuity. Every good year has a theme as carried out in copy, division pages and end sheets. Kevin Groves, senior photographer and sports editor captured the idea in pictures while Amanda Duncan, layout editor found yet another way through design. Most impor- tantly from beginning to end. we tried to touch upon the thought that generations before us also tend to grasp hold of new changes, fashions and settings. While we found comfort and enjoyment in playing “The Urban Cowboy others following the “Go West Movement of the 1850's found a completely different turn at the end of the trail as expressed by Dr. John Payne, CHS superinten- dent. 128 “Go West Young- Man” “Go West Young Man,” a megaphonic chant Echoing down the endless corridor of time Heard and heeded in a mystic fashion By countless numbers from all generations. “Go West Young Man”, a con man's elixir Guaranteed to cure all human despair With new chances, new settings, a different stage To play the one starring role life’s assigned. “Go West Young Man”, the Pied Piper’s refrain Hypnotically pulls us from our pain With visions that only our mind’s eye sees Difficult to explain to happy friends. “Go West Young Man”, a disturbing notion Diffused in our blood like salt in the sea A wanderlust making us unhappy With each succeeding stop on our life’s road. “Go West Young Man”, a noxious placebo We gladly ingest to make our life’s failure But don't look around on life’s horizons For our unhappiness lies there, waiting. 129 321 North Main Chaffee, Mo.
