A hand reaches sleepily out from under the blankets, retrieves the intruding alarm clock, and disappears beneath the covers again. The view from beneath the blankets is dimly lit. and so a light is turned on as a drowsy voice is heard. Morning already ...” Most Conner students agree that if mornings were not necessary to make it to the rest of the day, they would much rather skip them altogether. Mornings always have everyone in a trance-like frenzy, taking showers, getting dressed, eating breakfast, and making plans for the rest of the day. After the rush of getting ready, students arive at school where they either try to relax with friends or finish their homework before school starts. By the 8:30 bell everyone is usually awake and getting into the swing of another school day. Although they may seem terrible, the serene atmosphere of mornings in Boone County is beyond comparison. The soft light of dawn greets Kentuckians at the same time as noise of city traffic drifts to the bedrooms of sleeping Ohioans. Yet if Boone County residents want to go to Cincinnati they merely have to get on 175 and 20 minutes away is the Blue Chip City. Northern Kentucky with its quiet atmosphere and nearby cities is truly the best of both worlds. As part of his morning. Jay Baldwin takes the lime to shave. r OpeningH 3 4 1.

It’s Not All Work Making the best of their spare time is important to Conner students, especially when much of their time is spent studying. Even if they are not in school orientated activities, they keep themselves busy playing basketball before and after school and during lunch. Basketball is not the only thing that keeps students busy. Once in a while a holiday will come along giving classes a reason for parties. Music is an important part of most teenagers lives. Because of this the students make Conner’s Music Department a big success. There are four Choirs for students to choose from each consisting of students who simply enjoy singing. These choirs perform each year at the Florence Mall and the Burlington Baptist Church during the Christmas holidays. Three bands are also a part of Conner’s Music Department. Each of these bands serve a different purpose. The Marching Band performs at Football games and competitions while the Concert and Jazz Bands perform at the Band's Annual Ham Dinner and various other concerts throughout the year. The view of the future for activities at Conner is very optimistic. There will always be Homecomings, Marching Bands, and Football and Basketball games to keep the students busy. The colorful mural, added to the cafeteria walls this past fall, was painted by art students including Terri Schnorbus and Renee Stotts. OpeningBS And Some Of Us Even Like School How students perceive the academic world differs slightly from person to person. There are some Conner students who look forward to school each day. These are the students who do well in school and seem to get along with everyone. Then there are those who are at school simply for socializing. Whatever the viewpoint, the variety of academics available is wide. The courses at Conner, ranging from Sophomore English to Industrial Arts, are never ordinary. For example, each member of the A.P. English class, for an experiment, portrayed a person that was handicapped in one way or another for an entire day. Just as these sophomores were dedicated to their experiment, so were the students in Calculus and French. Every morning at 8:00, the Calculus class met on their own time in Mr. Stone's room in order to meet the requirements of the course. Not unlike this group in their enthusiasm for learning, the French II and French III classes were expected to meet in their spare time, French II after school at 3:15 and French III before school at 8:30. The majority of Conner students excel in one way or another. Whether they have a special talent for English. Math, or Sheet Metal the view of academics at Conner looks good. Working on an electrical assignment at the vocational school are Jeff Maines and David McNay. oHOpening I. At the Vocational School during a Health Careers class.

Ready for a party is Pam Maisch. dressed as a court jester. 8BOpening Best Of Both Worlds Teenagers do not spend all their time doing schoolwork. Though that may seem to be the case, Conner students always find time to relax at home. The view of an afternoon at home from the middle of the week always looks good. The week is so long and the weekend is so short they have to make the best of those two days they have away from teachers and schoolwork. However, the kids at Conner are rarely at a loss for something to do, mainly because if they are, their parents will find something for them to occupy their time with, like washing the car or helping with the farm. Being with good friends on the weekend seems to be the best cure for a long week at school. Conner students and their friends are hardly ever lacking a reason to celebrate with a party, or to just go out. Lounging around the house for a weekend or even just an afternoon allows students to do the things they like to do. Playing with family pets or horseback riding are popular activities. It seems natural for students to grow up near horses since quite a few families in the Conner school district own horses. Some of these students make a hobby out of taking care of them and showing them in area horse shows. Spare time is best spent with good friends as Rhonda Baird and Karen Huesing are seen doing here walking down Bullittsville Road toward Burlington. OpeningH9 Towering Welcome Florence Y'alU” is the first view of the city as you approach the Conner school district. This welcoming sign is printed on the water tower situated right outside of what is considered one of the city's largest successes, the Florence Mall. The mall is situated on Mall Road across from the Florence Cinemas and Chuck E. Cheese’s. It houses over 100 shops and has 4 major department stores. Flere, some students have found jobs to help them pay for the little extras in life, and have easy access to these same stores that help them spend their money. Besides enjoying themselves at the mall, kids from Conner also like to spend their time at Fleaven's. one of the hottest night spots for high school students. Not only do they keep up with what is going on in the music world, some students enjoy staying in shape at Nautilus, while others show off their video skills at Tilt, another student attraction in the Mall. Dream Street is also a popular place, especially after a football or basketball game. On Friday nights, after the games, many Conner students go out and enjoy themselves and talk about the game. At the World of Golf In Florence. Richard Poor plans his next shot on the Putt Putt course. I0B Opening 5 I. At the World of Golf in Florence.

October 10, 1983. The Chamber of Commerce of Cincinnati had decided earlier that at 6:30 P.M.. with the cooperation of the people of Cincinnati, all the lights in the city should be turned on to show off the beautiful skyline. Its skyline is not the city's only great quality. Cincinnati is the scene of entertainment for just about everyone. The riverfront houses the stadium, the Cincinnati Reds, and the Bengals. Farther along the riverfront is the Coliseum. Cincinnati is also the home of the Playhouse in the Park, the Art Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Cincinnati Zoo, one of the most acclaimed zoos in the country. Just a half-hour north of the Blue Chip City is one of Ohio’s greatest attractions. King's Island. King’s Island is a very popular place for Conner students to be for two reasons: The Beast and Timberwolf. The Beast is the world’s fastest roller coaster and Timberwolf is King’s Island's outdoor amphitheater. With all this and more just a short distance from home. Northern Kentucky with its peaceful mornings can be considered truly the best of both worlds. Cincinnati's spectacular skyline was highlighted on Monday. October 10. when most of the lights in the citywere turned on. OpeningBlj 14 Officers Take Over Even though it was not quite as important as electing a governor. Seniors found choosing class officers an important part of their Senior year. This years class officers are: President. Donna Carpenter; Vice-President, Jackie Thomas; Secretary, Susan Bullock-, and Treasurer, Tim Gutherie. Class officers meet regularly to discuss ideas and make decisions about some of the events which take place during the year. They have kept busy planning the Football Homecoming Dance and the Senior Dinner Dance. On October 24, the Senior Class sponsored a blood drive and donated 44 pints of blood to the Hoxworth Blood Center.

Football games and McDonalds on Friday nights can be just the beginning of a perfect weekend. It is also the ideal night to stay out late because you can sleep-in the next morning. For many Seniors, Saturdays usually start at noon with a trip to the mall with friends to goof around, look for guys or girls, and occasionally do some shopping. Dates, parties, dances, and concerts all happen on Saturday nights, and give Seniors a chance to let loose, get crazy and release their tensions. Sometimes. Saturday nights are spent at home watching Saturday Night live, listening to the stereo, talking on the telephone, curled up in bed with a book, or playing sports as Martin Biddle (above) is doing. Sundays may be spent visiting relatives and finishing all the homework you have put off for as long as possible. Then it’s early to bed. early to rise, to face another one of those least favorite days of the week. Mondays! Cheslock - FollzBl9 Talent At Large A classical pianist at seventeen? Not quite, but for John Beasley playing the piano is more than just a hobby. John Beasley (second from right) is a senior at Conner and has been taking lessons for eleven years. Besides playing piano John has been in the Conner Senior High Marching Band for 5 years playing snare drum and has been section leader for the past 3 years. Practicing l-l Vi hours every night on piano he mostly plays classical music which is more of a challenge and a lot harder than pop music.” John always wanted to play saxophone, but his mother encouraged him to play piano and drums. He has been glad every since. John has recieved several awards and medals for both piano and drums. On the drums, he has acquired superior medals in solos and ensembles. Just recently he attended a contest playing piano and won a trophy as the top player out of 140 contestants. In addition to receiving awards he participates in an average of 4 or 5 piano recitals each year. When asked if he prefers playing piano to playing drums? John commented, It's a toss-up. Music comes easier to me on drums but I think I like piano better.” XMFord — Hiatt Class of 84’ Rodney Ford Dorothy Freeland Regina Freeman Sharon Fryar James Fugate Lori Funaro Julie Garnett Kevin Garnett Carol Garrison Brenda Ginzinger Eric Gordon Rhonda Grant Dean Graves Regina Greenwell Melissa Greenwood Nancy Greive Jeff Grigson Donald Gripshover Mary Ann Gross Tim Guthrie Danny Gutzeit Mischelle Hagedorn Gregory Hall Keith Hamilton Mary Hammer Jay Hargis Daren Harris Connie Hartman Frances Henry Lisa Hewling Becky Hiatt Krista Hicks Mike Hitzfield Jessie Holt Melissa Horn Fryar — HornB2l Seniors Jim Horton Bobby Howe Cindy Hudson Jeff Huffman Cecilia Hunt Tony Hurayt Tony Issacs Belinda Jackson June Jacobs Mark Johnson James Johnson Doug Jones Lee Jones Ricky Jones Dutch Kennedy Mark Kemper Pam Kerns Becky Kidd Melinda Kimmich Terry King Chuck Kohlman Marcy Kuhn Phyllis Lancaster Tony Logan Kim Lovett Jim Lowe Mike Maddox Lisa Maines Melissa Martini Linda McKnight David McNay Jeff McNeil Kimberly McNichols Scott McPherson Joanie Millar 22HHorton — McNeil Life After Conner In the year 1994, or ten years after graduation, the following students plan to be: James Johnson — filthy rich.

Whatever the reason, they all think it’s worth it. At least it better be, says Karen Neufang. These eighteen Seniors are all taking the highest math course offered at Conner: Calculus. At eight o'clock they're ready to go over homework and bombard Mr. Stone with any questions they might have about problems. Then at nine o'clock they break for ten minutes and return back to work, either on a new chapter or on a homework assignment. These students all receive a credit and a half for taking this course. Getting technical, Dion Cornett says, We actually deserve a credit and nine-elevenths.” Most of them agree they do have a good time in class, but it's not all fun and games. Lori Munsie thinks, It’s hard!” To make a situation like this work, it takes a lot of dedication from both the students and Mr. Stone, and together they have pulled it offl They're a bunch of sweet beautiful people and it takes a lot of guts to get here at eight and look at my ugly face. — Mr. Stone. 261 Mills — Potter Darlene Mills Wila Mitchell Kevin Morehead T im Mounce Robbie Mullins Lori Munsie Kevin Murphy Kristin Napier Billy Neal Caroline Neff Karen Neufang Tim Newman Lisa Nienaber Anita Nunn Kay Nunn Shane Oakley Dan O'Brien Jeanna Osborne Leaha Osborne Victor Osborne Frank Overton John Owens Stephanie Peeno Richard Perkinson Renea Perry Pam Pieper Brad Pitzer Toby Placke Kristi Poore Kevin Porter Becky Potter Donald Powell Wayne Powell Rhonda Power Chris Reineke Mounce — ReinekeB27 Lisa Retting Chuck Rhodus Amy Rieman Shonda Roberts James Robertson Phil Rogers Tracy Rouse Greg Rowland Jimmy Rudicill Lori Ruebel Brian Ruff Allison Ryle Saundra Schmitt Bart Schneider Rob Schneider Pam Schnorbus Patsy Schull Mike Schwabe Elizabeth Scott Sandy Scudder Kim Sebastian Charles Sebring Grayson Shinkle Bryan Shotwell Amy Sidney Marc Smith Mark Smith Sherri Smith Connie Sowers Melissa Spare Scott Spencer John Sprague Cristie Stansberry Tim Stone Billy Sutton 28HRetting — Sprague Musical Youths Playing in the Conner band is not enough for Donna Carpenter, Kelly Bonar, Tammy Taylor, Sally Ammon, and Regina Mason. These girls all have one thing in common; they are members of the Cincinnati Youth Symphony Orchestra. It takes a lot of hard work but we know we will appreciate the experience.” says Sally. The Cincinnati Youth Symphony Orchestra performs mostly classical and contemporary pieces of music. To be in this symphony the youths had to be recommended by their band director or private music teacher. They also had to audition with a prepared piece of music in front of three judges. It was one long week following try-outs that these girls found out that their hard work and motivation paid off after hearing the good news that they had become members. Donna Carpenter summed up her feelings happily by stating, I'm really thankful because it will be a new experience, and I will meet many new friends!” Robertson — SuttonHJ9 One In A Million They say good friends” are hard to find, but out of a crowd of 269 seniors most know at least one person that stands out as a best friend . Dion Cornett and Mark Agnor have been best friends since 5th grade. Dion commented, We have never had any arguments because we both think exactly alike.” Another example of best friends at Conner is Susan Bullock and Lori Ruebel who have been friends for ten years. Lori stated. Susan has always been there to hear my problems, and listen to my secrets.” Brenda Ginzinger and John Owens have been going together for almost two years. Brenda says, The advantage of having John as my best friend as well as my boyfriend is that you learn to trust and understand each other better.” Trade Barlow and Belinda Jackson (pictured above) have been best friends for five years. Tracie says. She’s been like a sister to me and I hope she will always be there.” They both agree that a true friendship is endless.

We've waited a long time, but it’s finally hap- pened. We can now say that we are a part of the Senior High. The Junior High is nothing compared to the feeling we experience when we first walked through the school door. The majority of the newcom- ers were happy just to have a change, while some pointed out that the Junior High did have it’s merits. For example, Darren Hoagland noticed that most of the clocks in the Sr. High building were far from being correct. As could be expected, the sophomores were pleased with the most relaxed social atmo- sphere of the high school. Valerie VanLieucommented that, Down at the Junior High they called your parents if you got caught holding hands with your boy- friend. Although most of the sopho- mores were glad to be here, the new surroundings did present a little bit of a problem. Tonya Pitt- man said that she liked the idea of having an air conditioner, but she feels they have them turned down too low!

When Laura Spaulding, shown below, had completed the student form she had no idea that she would be the sophomore selected from Conner to attend the Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation State Leadership Seminar in Transylva- nia, Kentucky. The purpose of the seminar is to bring together a select group of distinguished leaders in busi- ness. science, government, edu- cation, and the professions and let the two interact. Laura thought it sounded like a challenging opportunty and a good learning experience. And by filling out the application. I was able to learn more about my- self,” she commented. Laura was chosen by a commit- tee of nine administrators, coun- selors, and parents. When the ap- plications were read and voted on, Laura receiving the majority of votes.

The party of parties! Actually mingling with President Carter and his family, and attending a real live party at his home in Plains, Georgia. Jeff Baker, a sophomore at Conner Sr. High School, has had what one would consider a chance at the good life. Not very many people have an opportunity to meet a past President of the United States, but Jeff was fortu- nate enough to have the pleasure of doing so. While in Georgia vis- iting his aunt, who is politically involved with the Democratic party, he attended the party, and remarked that Mr. Carter's daughter, Amy, was 'pretty neat’. Besides having been all over the United States, he has had the opportunity to go to Japan where he visited a friend that is a na- tive of Japan. As though Jeff doesn’t have his hands full already, he some- how finds the time to go scuba diving. It's an exciting sport and Jeff thoroughly enjoys it. After he graduates from high school, he plans to go to college in Australia. Jeff has an uncle in Australia that he intends to stay with while attending college. Jeff has his life all planned out. He's been one of the few people to have his dreams come true. As if having the chance to go scuba diving and to go to Japan isn’t enough, seeing President Carter is definitely an event in Jeff’s life that he will find hard to forget. Nor would he want to. I.

Troy Cole Gina Coleman Patty Combs Eddie Compton Racing To Wendy Corner Dianne Couch Darren Cox Bill Crantord The Top To some people motor cross racing might be a dream, but to Scott Summers it could be his future. Scott started riding motorcycles when he was five, when most kids are try- ing to ride bicycles. He now races on a Honda CR500 com- peting against men in their 20’s and 30’s nearly every weekend. Even though it may seem to be a dangerous sport, Scott just calls it a challenge. The worst accident he ever had was when he crashed into a barbed wire fence at home. With his father being so in- volved in the sport, it was only natural for Scott to start rac- ing at age seven. Currently he is ranked second in the state in his division in motor cross racing. With 46 trophies and placing in nearly every race it looks as if Scott has a pretty good chance at the Pro’s.

Among these include the privileges that are associated with Senior Day, Senior Dinner Dance, and being looked up to by underclassmen. Philip Lu- cas summed it up, Being a Senior is the next step to get- ting out of high school.” Juniors, who have been waiting for the day they can become Seniors all have dif- ferent reasons. One of these was stated by Holly Gritton. ’’Just one more year of school food.” Another response came from Brian Fields who is an- ticipating that feeling of su- periority, when we can boss the younger students. Karen Nienaber says, It makes you feel like you are getting some- where in life.” The one dream most school kids all have is to graduate from high school, but first the Juniors get to have the thrill of becoming a Senior!

Some of these would have been interesting while others are incredibly boring. But most can remem- ber the incidence they had the hardest time over coming. Whether it be in school work or personality, personal life or teachers, we all remember it Chris Karlosky Brian Keith Todd Kennedy Dawn King Scott King Keith Kinser Kelly Kissner Bobby Kohlman well. When asked What’s the hardest thing you've had to get over?” these juniors re- plied: Tammy Dotsun — Bad grades Brian Fields — Sophomore year Chris Zirkelbach — Shyness Shannon Baynum — Accept the fact that I have to try harder for the same grades. Laura Crouch — School lunches Donna Thiessen and Susan Rose — not getting hyperac- tive after winning a football game Deanna Clark — Being too se- rious Jimmy Boldorf — April 13th 1979.

Waking every Monday to go to school? No. Getting one year closer to being gradu- ates? Maybe. Getting their driver’s license? Definitely! Turning sixteen and getting a driver’s license is a big hon- or and a lot of fun. This new experience does, however, hold its share of trials and tribulations. The trials seem to be remembered more often than the tribulations. When Bobby Kohl man was asked what he considered to be the worst thing about driv- ing, he was quick to answer. ’’Lady drivers!” Most people remembered embarrassing moments. When asked this question, Jeff Perkins recalled stalling the car three times at one stop light right after get- ting his permit. Renee A pier claimed her most embarassing moment was the time she used a red light as a stop sign. Pam Maisch had her share of trouble too. After a concert, she nearly hit a car because she was paying more attention to guys than to driving. Chris Landrum smiles for the camera. 62 HJuniors I. Melissa Rider.

Re- source teacher at Conner, to make a lifetime hobby of raising and showing horses for the past 15 years. At present he and his wife, (shown at right) Home Eco- nomics teacher at Conner, own two walking horses on their farm of about 7 acres. Besides showing horses, Mr. Smith took time out last year to take a Community Education Course in sewing so that he could make one of his own riding out- fits. Mr. Smith also enjoys work- ing in his flower garden. The remainder of Mr. Smith's and their daughter Rebecca's rid- ing outfits are sewn by Mrs. Smith. She can also be given credit for keeping all the equip- ment for showing the horses in good condition. The rest of Mrs. Smith's spare time is spent cro- cheting. knitting, and sometimes doing a bit of embroidery. After only a year of publically showing horses, their daughter, at the Ohio Valley Walking Horse Association, was awarded the High Point Trophy for the II year old and under age group. In her second year of showing horses Rebecca won this same trophy for the 12-17 year old age group. Conner High is fortunate to have this interesting and talent- ed couple as part of its faculty. I.

I’d still stay here,” quotes Mr. Schmidt. He stresses the point that he really enjoys his job working with the FFA even though he works twelve months a year. Born in Cuyahoga County. Ohio, Mr. Schmidt (shown at left) attend- ed school at Newton D. Baker Jr. High School until the end of his 8th grade year when he moved to Union. He became increasingly in- terested in agriculture during his stay at Boone County High School. While keeping busy with the FFA, which he has been doing for nine years, he also has time for working on his 55 Chevy car and his 38 Chevy truck. In addition to these activities he enjoys beekeeping (he has 42 bee hives) and landscaping. Mr. Schmidt has contributed much towards the growth of the FFA. One of his first accomplish- ments at Conner was to have a shop built to store tools and tractors and where students are able to work on farm equipment. In addition to the shop he also supervises the green- house where the FFA plant seedlings and use cutlings to start new plants. Another major contribution this versatile Vo. Ag. teacher imple- mented was to direct more atten- tion toward the student’s individual projects which are worked on both at school and at their homes. In addition to his school responsi- bilities Mr. Schmidt is currently on the Boone County Fair Board Staff and is actively involved in helping with its activities. It’s nice to know we have some- one that enthusiastic about his job at our school, for he is teaching the kids who one day will be putting the food on our tables. '• Librarian.

Teacher Feature Mrs. Hudson Mrs. Hudson, a science and Spanish teacher, has nothing less than a wonderful and exciting life that has turned out to be very rewarding. She is the proud mother of 6 children and has been teaching at Conner for 12 years. Mrs. Hudson (shown at left) got her start collecting shells through assisting Mr. Norman in a Biology class. From that point on, she states that she became utterly enthused with them and has been looking for special ones ever since. She has even gone so far as to go snorkling near Mexico off an island called Cosmel. She informed us that shell smuggling has become common in smaller countries because it is a big market and a quick profit. While in Mexico, after experiencing walking 300 steps up a pyramid, she remarked that it was enchanting to go back to Mexico. It was just like ancient times.” She plans to take one of her classes this year again to Mexico. During one recent visit she witnessed a wedding where the groom was thrown into a swimming pool, and she was given a package of fudge after the wedding meal that was made with goat's milk. Mrs. Hudson was curiously asked the question as to whether she was able to talk with the Mexicans with success. She laughingly states. I converse very slowly and hope they will do likewise.” Faculty ■ '3 Teacher Feature Mr. Collins You may be one of the many that think Mr. Collins (shown at right) is only a school teacher. In reality he also has a farm and hunts. On his 300 acre farm he grows tobacco and corn, along with raising cattle. His help comes from his own family con- sisting of his wife, one son and six daughters. Together they put up approximately 5.000 lbs. of to- bacco. When it comes to hunting, it's not deer he’s after, it’s ginseng. One might ask. What in the world is ginseng?” Believe it or not ginseng is a herb that has a long fleshy root used as medi- cine. It has 3 leaves, each con- sisting of 5 leaflets. It is identi- fied by its greenish yellow flower on top which sometimes pro- duces scarlet berries. The name of this plant comes from Chinese words meaning likeness of a man because of the shape of its root. Those shaped like a human body are most valuable. Ginseng is found in such isolated places as the mountains, and the only part of the herb that is kept is the root. It is then dried and sold for $8.00 an ounce. Mr. Collins is able to find about a couple pounds a year. He has been farming for TO years and teaching for 11 years. As anyone can see. he’s doing a great job in both fields. r:i I.

I found it hard to keep a 55 mph speed limit after arriving home. This past summer Miss Ed- wards (shown at right) spent 37 days visiting Germany. Austria. Italy, France. Switzerland, Bel- gium, Elolland and Denmark. While there she had the chance to add to her collection of art paintings and glassware which she enjoys displaying in her home. Of all the variety of foods she was able to try. she found wien- erschmitzel to be her favorite. She was especially impressed with the architectural design and artwork in the old structures. Miss Edwards would have loved to have brought home a clay planter like the ones she saw in the Roman ruins. However, it wouldn’t fit in her suitcase which was already filled with the many books she had purchased along the way. We gain experience from many things, but none of life’s experiences are as memorable as that of visiting a foreign country for the first time as Miss Ed- wards has discovered. I.

We re I! We re I! The 1983 foot- ball team proved this to be true by achieving a feat that has never been accomplished in Conner football history. The 1983 football team is the first football team at Conner to win the Stale Title. The 1983 season for the Cougars was composed of many outstanding advances in Cougar football history. Halfback. Mel- vin Miles, was stopped two yards short of 2,000 yards in the 1983 season with 1998 yards gained while rushing. This beat Mark Tritsch's record of 1013 yards set back in 1974. In the previous four seasons the Cougars were always stopped short of the state or district title by one school or another. Last year it was Covington Catholic and the years before that it was Highlands and Franklin-Simpson. This year the Cougars had a triple-revenge season. They were able to play all those teams and to walk off the field the winner. That to the Cougars was well worth it” as Mike Cheslock puts it. The state championship game itself was. of course, the most important to the Cougars but surprisingly enough when asked, the majority of the football team found beating Highlands, who had not lost their last 29 games, the most satisfying”. Cougar halfback Melvin Miles said, It was a dream come true.” Line- backer. Matt Shotwellstated. I thought if we beat Highlands we could win state, and that's exactly what they did. The 1983 Class AAA championship game was held in Louisville. Kentucky, at Cardinal Stadium. The Cougar's started out by scoring the first touchdown in the second quarter. Shortly following Melvin Miles went out of the game with a hip pointer. When Melvin goes out, we get as high as we can. We get extra energy out of that.” Quarterback Artie Crawford remarked. The Cougars only fell behind once in the game but returned shortly with that extra energy to score another touchdown, leaving the final score at 12-7. Mark Thomas was asked how he felt when he knew Conner were State Champs for certain. It was hard to believe because we worked on it so long. It was Sunday morning before it sank in that we are the 1983 Class AAA champs. Coach Lewis adds, This completes my fifth year at Conner and all five years have been enjoyable and it's been a pleasure to help Conner establish a winning football tradition.” Coach Bob Lew sshould also be commended on bringing his second team to the state title, for in 1977 his Wyoming team won the Class AA title. Conner is fortunate to have Coach Lewis, as head coach, and assistants. Tom Berger. John Lucas. Bob Young, and Wayne Badida. Congratulations to everyone who helped the 1983 Con- ner football team become the 1983 Class AAA State Champs. I. While Coach Bob Lewis collects his thoughts.

Their record was six triumphs and one defeat by Covington Catholic, and they totaled 154 points against the opposition in the 1983 season with the competitors only acquir- ing 42 points. There were several prominent players in the 1983 season. Quarterbacks, Shane Burch and Mike Carter, did an outstanding job. They succeeded in completing numerous touchdown passes while center Brian Fields Ate Linebackers For Lunch! The center’s job is to protect the quarterback and Brian did an admirable job of accomplishing his duty. Assistant Coach, John Lucas, said the Junior Varsity defense was excellent in stopping opposition from scoring. The offense is also to be commended on the striking job they did in completing touchdowns. The Junior Varsity players really felt they had polished up their act since their freshman year. Doyle Cobb said, We've improved a lot since our freshman year and hopefully we'll continue to improve until we’re number one!” Rick Dressman said he believed that a lot of their increasing abilities are due to the fact they have been playing football together since PeeWee football and learned each others' playing techniques which helped them to improve over the years. The 1983 J.V. team has the self-assurance that they will be better or equal to the 1983 Varsity team during their senior year. Jack Conner ends by saying, I’m really happy with the complet- ed season and I hope we’ll be The Best by our senior year. I.

F-ootball Sports MSi A Nickle’s Worth Of Losses rhe season for the relatively new soccer team started out on the right path with a triumph against Holy Cross. This was a very special victory for beginning coach Rick Sulli- van. and was a sign for him of a prevailing season to come. This was Coach Rick Sullivan's first year ever to coach soc- cer. but he was willing to accept the challenge and help the soccer team to be the best in their district or beyond. The team was aroused by their coach's enthusiasm and his willingness to learn about the difficult game of soccer. Scott King commented. The moral support Coach provides us is more than enough to make up for his unaquaintance with the sport.” This years team's record was 3-5-3. Although their winning record was not outstanding, they still gave the opposition a run for their money. Team Co-Captains were Randy Godsey and Dennis Everett. Dennis Everett was the leading scorer with Bruce Wyckoff running a close second. Coach Sullivan remarked, The defense was unique in their ability to prevent the rival from scoring. Steve Beaver is to be commended on a job well- done as goalie.” The soccer team should ascend to success next year with eight starting players returning for another stirring season. Coach Rick Sullivan closed by saying, It was my first year to coach soccer, and they made it easy with their know-how in the sport. It’s been a learning year, and I hope we can continue to grow through hard practices and good teamwork!” I. Receiving the award for most valuable player is Randy Godsey. 2. For his speed in soccer.

Randy UiViwv, OiVhi Rur chain The Practice Pays Off olleyball was not new to Conner this year, but Coach Shannon was. This was her first year ever coaching volleyball-, before then, she was an assistant basketball coach at Boone County. Coach Shannon knew how to work the team, though. The team ran laps, did exercises, and spiked and served against the wall TOO times. According to Susan Rose. Practices were kill- ers. but it was worth it in the end. Worth it, it was. After finishing a 7-9 season, the Lady Cou- gars tackled the tournament. The team made it to the semifinals before being defeated by Highlands. The J.V. team ended the season with a 9-7 record. There was more to being a Lady Cougar than playing volley- ball. Chris Karlosky believes, It is a good way to meet new people. There were also lessons to be learned. Susan Bushelman adds, I really learned what teamwork was all about; You have to work together.” Even Coach Shannon learned a few things.

We have three returning starters back this year, includ- ing our leading scorers, and I am expecting big things from those boys.” The three players he is speaking of are Brad Warfield. Jeff McNeil, and Robbie Taylor. All three averaged in double figures in 1982-83 and continued to do so in the 1983-84 season by scoring 20 or more points in every game. When asked which teams could prove competitive. Coach Warfield replied. Dixie, Newport Catholic, and Simon Kenton have a lot of talent while Walton-Verona could prove to be inactive.” The 1983-84 season record was 14-12. Coach Warfield feels, however, that you can’t judge a team by a win and loss record. You have to take in consideration the closeness of the scores and the type of teams they play. The Cougars played one of the toughtest schedules in Northern Kentucky. At mid-season after the Newport Catholic game. Coach War- field was asked how he felt about the team record at that point and he replied, Our record so far isn’t the best, but I guarantee we are just as good as any 7-0 team in the state. From here on out we’re going to be tough competition!” Coach Warfield was indeed correct in that statement. The Cougars defeated all their opponents from that time on with the exception of Boone County; the Rebels turned out to be the downfall of the Cougars in the District Tournament held February 29 at Lloyd Memorial High School.

The Cougars did a complete turn-around in the later part of the season bringing the final record to 13-11. Coach Blevins ex- pressed his feelings when he was asked what brought about the dramatic change, I'm extremely proud of how they worked. In the beginning of the season people had their doubts about us having a winning season, but through hard work-outs we turned our record around. It really takes some team effort to pull through like that!” The three top leading scorers in the 1983-84 season were Chris Jones. Brian Munsie. and Robbie Utz. Also to be commend- ed for outstanding performances on the court are Randy Huff and Jeff Monday. The J.V. Basketball team’s toughest competition in the 1983- 84 season was Newport Catholic. While Boone County was the downfall of the Varsity team, the J.V. team managed to defeat the Rebels twice. When Coach Blevins was asked how he pre- dicted the Junior Varsity players would do as the Varsity team he replied, If they keep working and improving, they ought to do well!” I.

Most of the Lady Cougars had been playing together for at lest two years. In fact, for some girls, this was their second or third year on the team, and it was the second year of coaching for Tim Shields. Determination and hard work were also important factors. Tim Shields, who Chris Haar said was a really good coach, made sure the girls worked hard. Their defeats only encouraged the girls to work harder. After three consecutive losses, they won against Holmes, a highly-rated team. 55-50. Their persistence made this possible. Nancy Grieve was as example of this deter- mination-, many of her teammates considered her the most aggresive on the team. No one person could claim credit for their wins, though. As Chris Karlosky said, It is very much a team sport.” Coach Sheilds also emphasized this fact quite strongly. He often told his team, not one person wins it. everybody wins it.” Although their season record was not extremely impressive, they were district runner-up; thus proving what the power of teamwork can do! I. During practice. Nancy Grieve improves her free throw shooting. 2. The girls receive a pep talk from their coaches before the game. Girl's Basketball Sports B93 The Perfect Match Y W resiling can be an entangling situation. says Coach Badida. With a win over Boone County 40-18. Con- ner wrestlers have pinned another match this year. This tri- umph was a very special one to Coach Wayne Badida. for it was his 100th win with the Cougar's wrestling team. Winning matches has not always come as easy as the one over Boone County. The main obstacle this year was the late start because of the Football State Championship. Some of the wrestlers and Coach Badida were disappointed the first half of the season with many injuries and a loss of experienced wres- tlers. but the second half of the season the team got organized. Coach Badida commented. We started looking like a team.” The first weekend dual was a trip to New Albany. Indiana where as Coach Badida stated. We got blown out.” It was a slow start losing to New Albany. Providence. Ind., and Wagner from Louisville, but the Cougars did capture a win over Union County. The wrestler’s next few dual matches were against Northern Ky. teams. The grapplers were excited with a win over Scott. Boone County, and Dixie, but were soon discouraged with a loss to Simon Kenton. This was the first loss to any Northern Ky. team in the area in 3 years. Each year Coach Badida sets goals for himself and the team. His goals included having as many wrestlers as possible to qualify for the Regionals, State, and State finals. This year the Cougars placed 4th in the District, qualifying 8 for Regionals. Daren Harris. Mike Cheslock. Troy Cole, and Malt Sholwell went to the State Wrestling Tournament at Atherton High School in Louisville where the wrestling team placed 7th. Daren Harris, placed 2nd in the heavy weight class at the State Wrestling Tournament while Troy Cole defeated his oppo- nent from Caldwell County in the 145-weight class finals and was named Outstanding Wrestler of the Tournament. Also Matt Shotwell won the 167-pound weight class, defeating his oppo- nent from Franklin County. Both Matt and Troy brought home individual state wrestling titles. I.

A Stroke Ahead Of The Rest I he tension had built as the Conner swim team stepped upon the starting blocks. The judge blew the whistle, and the swimmers dove in. It was a race to the finish. Once you're in the water, the butterflies stop and all the hard work starts to pay off,” said senior Steve Lowe. When asked what it feels like once you win, Lisa Crowe replied, I feel great knowing that every stroke I take pulls me closer to being a college swimmer.” The Cougars first meet was against Newport-, they easily stroked over them by a 108-56 margin. The next meet the team made their record 2-0 by defeating Newport Catholic 107-43. Their only loss of the season was against Highlands. Chris Konerman. swim team coach, stated, Highlands was a very tough team to swim against. They got the lead early and we never caught up.” But the next meet, the team came back with a victory over Cambell Co. giving them a record of 3-1. There are some very dedicated swimmers on the Conner swim team, many of whom plan to go on to swim in college. One of these is Carol Garrison, who received letters from several major colleges such as the University of Kentucky and Ohio U. to participate in their athletic program. The 1983-84 state championships held at EKU rounded up a fantastic season as the Conner swimmers took the rank of 13th in the state. The state finalists were Lisa Crowe. Carol Garrison. Eric Hibbard.

Practicing started at the beginning of August, and the team members practiced everyday after school for an hour to an hour and a half. Practice was important though if they wanted to survive and win the races. Races courses for the boys were three to three and a half miles while the girls ran one point eight to two miles. The hard work did not scare anyone away. In fact there were three times as many runners this year as there were two years ago. The team had grown from five to sixteen runners, and there was also a girl’s team of seven runners. All this hard work paid off-, both teams; did well in regionals: the boys placed fifth and Jeff Plank was sent to state. The girl’s team placed second in the region and went downstate where Kathy Plank became a State Champion. Their coaches, Howard Willimson and Vicki Hulette. played a large part in their success. They like for us to give 150%,’’ as Eric Gordon put it. More was needed than just the coache’s encouragement for all the runners had to dedicate themselves. Keith Hamilton claimed, I learned self-discipline.” So, why were these people willing to devote so much time and energy to cross-country? One of the reasons was the way it felt to cross the finish line. Chuck Rhodus said it simply, It feels good.” I. Running the practice course on the track is Eric Gordon. 3.

Cross Country Sports B99 More Than Running V� hat do most people think of when someone says track? . . . Running! However, track means much more than just running. While there are many running events such as the 100 and 200 meter races, the 800 and 1600 meter relays, and hurdles, there are also various non-running events. There are the jumping events, including the broad jump, high jump, and triple jump. Shotput and discus are also events in which the track team participates. Track also means attending dozens of practices and meets, which can be very time-consuming and requires much dedica- tion. Practices usually last for two hours after school each day. Most of the meets are on weekends. One meet in particular kept track members hopping, the Belluvue Invitational, which was on April 21. the same day of our Jr.-Sr. Prom. Track team members attending both the meet and the prom had a very busy dayl Track for 1984 also meant a newcomer to Conner. Mitch Marksberry joined the staff as the assistant girl’s track coach. Mitch, who coached track at Lloyd for two years, works with the girls, and boys, who throw shotput and discus. for Keith Hamilton, track meant setting a new school record. At a meet at Ludlow, Keith set a new record for the triple jump. The new record, 40 feet, II inches, betters the old one by almost a foot.

Once this was accomplished the team played with fire in their eyes. After a long delay due to the ever insistent rain, the Cougars took a Spring training trip to Nashville, Tennessee, but rain only allowed one game in which they won. Maintaining confidence and a positive outlook wasn’t easy, but a sophomore, Shane Burch, sparked the Cougars with a home-run agains Ludlow, his first varsity hit. Showing his attitude for hustle John Owens, played at third base, caught two foul balls while diving over a fence during the Conner vs. Simon Kenton game. The Cougars put the pieces into place by ending the sea- son with a winning record of 6-5. I. Preparing for the pitch is Shane Burch. 2.

Rain Rain Go Away I he 1984 softball team would have had to adorn themselves with raincoats and galoshes if they were to partici- pate in any of their rained out games. But once the season got started it was up and down with a loss to Newport Catholic and a great comeback against Campbell County. Two games proved to be memorable. One in which Chris Karlosky hit the winning run at the bottom of the eighth inning making the score 6-5 over Walton-Verona. The other game was a double header against Boone County. The triumph was a score of 11-3 and the second at a tremendous 8-3. The Cougar softball team was victorious. The outlook of the future for the Lady Cougars is very prom- ising. Despite the loss of players like Nancy Grieve, who showed tremendous ability playing short stop, and Lisa Rettig. who was an outstanding outfielder, the Lady Cougars ought to have a winning season once again. Also to be commended is hitter. Allison Ryle, who was a successful pitcher for three years and Jessie Holt, who contributed her time and skills despite a sprained ankle at mid-season. Regardless of the rain the team pulled out an 11-5 season and is looking forward to a brighter season next year. I. Allison Ryle shows her ability to pitch a perfect strike. 2.

At mid- season the golfers were predicted to do very well in the State Golf Tournament. For the golfers their beginning win was a sure sign of a tee-off to victory. An excellent player in the 1984 season was Richard Poore. During the Conner vs. St. Henry’s match he shot an outstanding one under par. Another player to be recognized is Bobby Kohl- man. During the 9th Regional Golf Tournament he shot at 77 to enter a four-way play-off for the one individual position for State. He bogeyed the first hole while the other three players all parred which knocked him out of the State Tournament. Eigh- teen teams contended in the Tournament, and although the Cougars Golfers had a poor showing in the regionals they should be commended on their superior record in the Spring of '84. Coach Ken Clore commented on what he thought the future held, For every senior we have a stronger freshmen coming on.

Each match was not a contest between the strong- willed but the most experienced. However, if determination acquired players the state title the Conner Tennis team would have taken the top prize. A four-year starter, Becky Poller, is to be acclaimed for her outstanding record. Her success on the court has brought many individual triumphs. On the other hand the rest of the team should be recognized for an attempt well-done. The boys and girls team each advanced to the regionals, although they did not make it to state-, they made a respectable showing, with hopes of doing better next year. 1.

R LJeing able to participate in a school activity and putting forth all your effort to support the team,” stated Jackie Thomas when asked what interested her about cheerleading? A total of eight varsity cheerleaders and eight junior varsity cheerleaders represented Conner this past year. Melissa Viox was the captain and Kristi Poore was the co-captain. Most of the varsity cheerleaders have been cheering since their elementary years. When Melissa Viox was asked why she continues to cheer year after year she responded without hesi- tation. I love it!” The cheerleaders work hard each year with strenuous prac- tices and attend the Universal Cheerleaders Association camp every summer. Representing Conner to the best of their ability is their goal. The cheerleaders had a special thrill cheering during the 1983 football season because they felt that rooting for a state cham- pion team was a real privilege. Bridget Burcham expressed, I thought the victory was one of the best things of all my high school years!” Cheering can be a really tough responsibility. Although it takes a lot of devotion and time, it is enjoyable, enough that most of the varsity cheerleaders said they would like to contin- ue to cheer during their college years. As a farewell, the senior cheerleaders stated, We'll miss it and we hope that the future cheerleaders will be able to exper- ience something as great as cheering for a state champion team.

This choir is different from the others because the students must audition to become members of the group and the class rarely consists of more than twenty talented singers. Chamber, like all choirs, goes through a year consisting of several contests, concerts, solos, and ensembles. Also, every year, a few of Conner's singers try out for the All-State Chorus.

They also sang in a spring concert and in April they performed at elementary schools around the area. Naturally the members tastes differ greatly. But for the most part, the music of the 50’s seems to be of particular interest. And whether separately or as a group, the Men’s Choir works to bring beautiful music to the world around them. 132 ■Men s Choir Clubs The Sound Of Music Women s Choir was one of many varied choirs at Conner. The choir consisted of approximately fifteen girls, sophomores through seniors. One of their main events was singing in competition at Northern Kentucky University.

This is one of the most beneficial aspects of attending the Boone County Vocational School. A select few from the Northern Ky. area attend the school each day for three hours in either the morning or afternoon classes. With these hours of training, each student may accomplish a major goal in life; a job. At the end of each year, the students have the opportunity to show their skills by competing with other students from around the state. Several students were asked the following question; What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of attending the V- school?” Mike Bray — Hands on training Mark Tanner — You can talk in class.” Mike Hitzfield — I don’t like having to walk out in the cold.” Bobby Adams — ”1 miss all of my friends at the High School.

In preparation for this event, each club and school- sponsored group nominates a girl from the senior class to represent them as a Homecoming candidate. Several days prior to the football homecoming game, each member of the student body gets to vote for their fa- vorite candidate. After patiently waiting through the first half of the game, the girls and their escorts are then announced to a crowd of excited parents, fans, and alumni. When the couples are finally assembled on the sidelines, the Homecoming Queen and her court are then an- nounced. Everything seemed to be going right. It hadn’t rained all day, the football team was winning, and as usual the girls were a bundle of nerves. After the band fin- ished playing You Are So Beautiful”, the big moment finally came. The ten- sion grew as the 4th, 3rd, 2nd. and 1st attendants were announced. It was as- sured that the queen would have to be well liked, have above average grades, and a good personality. Little did anyone know that the 1983 queen was no stranger to success. She had already been elected president of the senior class and president of the National Honor Society. Well, her moment had finally arrived. The 1983 Homecoming Queen was Don- na Carpenter! Tim Guthrie summed everything up by saying that it was a very enjoyable evening and he was glad to be a part of it. Which is probably a feeling shared by the rest of the candidates.

At 6:30 pm, rosy- cheeked girls in elaborate dresses and neatly groomed guys dressed in a highly debonair fashion paraded through the rain and into Thomas Moore College. By 7:00 pm, the dining area had begun to fill up. Cameras were flashing as smiles and compliments were exchanged. Charter Flight, our band for the even- ing. began warming up during the meal. By the time everyone was nearly fin- ished eating, the band was in full swing. Overall, the evening was a success. Most everyone left the prom around midnight and went out for a night on the town. Several people went bowling while others had parties at various locations. But whatever you chose to do. this year’s prom, like all the previous proms turned out to be evening never to be forgotten. The prom King and Queen were Dave Hamilton and Jackie Thomas.

In- cluded in this preparation, the choruses f practiced day after day on the songs to be sung for this special occasion. f Among a group of select students, the class sponsors helped in getting caps, gowns, and tassels to everyone. Before one knew it. the time had arrived. Whether one remembered graduation h as a joyous or sorrowful time, it was an event in everyone’s life that will never be forgotten. It was now time to make that first y step into the real world. For some, it was college, for others, it was job or entering . the service. Although tears of joy and sadness were shed, the graduates of Conner Senior will remember their high school years as The Best of Times.” Graduation was the end of our high school years, but the beginning of a • whole new life.

Every- body’s doing it. or at least trying to learn how to do it. It’s called Breakdancing, and it’s the hot- test craze these days. Breakdancing originated in the inner city streets of New York as an alternative to gang fighting. It wasn’t until after the release of the hit movie Flashdance. that breaking gained its popularity in this area. This type of dancing consists of breaking and ticking. Breaking is when one spins on their back or shoulders, and ticking is the movement of joints one at a time. There are also other moves such as the centipede and moonwalk- ing. Recently, breaking has spread from the streets to T.V. It’s seen on many commercials, two of the favorites being the Pony tennis HEBRON DEPOSIT BANK Hebron, KY Main Office Petersburg, KY Branch Office Member FDK shoe commercial and Michael Jackson's famed Pepsi ad. Many videos shown on M TV also fea- ture breakdancing, while Irene Cara sings about it on the radio. One video from M TV. Party Train , inspired a group of guys from school to form a group called the Streetwalkers”. They performed in the school’s first annual variety show. They also like to break at all the school dances. Breakdancing is a lot of fun, but just a fad,” stated Daron Isaacs. Many students agree and think that in a short while break- ing will become a thing of the past, but in the meantime, break- dancing will continue to be a way of having fun. whether it’s in par- ticipating or just watching. 7cnc • 7605 Burling Pike A 6 J Western World 2 l Florence.

The contest was held at Conner Senior High School this year because the number of com- petitors has grown nearly 100 percent since the first contest was held at Ludlow High School. In previous years the powerlift- ing competition was held in con- junction with a bodybuilding con- test. Increased interest in both events created a need for sepa- rate competition dates and sites.

There were ten new com- puters bought by the school as teaching aids. Penny Smith, the guidance coun- selor, had been urging the school officials to buy computers for the school. When Texas Instruments went out of business, they were able to purchase not only the computers. but several cartridges of software at a reduced rate. While the major- ity of the computers went to the basic classes, such as Reading Lab, Basic Math, and the Special Ed. classes, a few are used as floaters.

Scott King, and Tim Guthrie found how far a little bit of imagination and initiative could take them. They had been skiing together for a few years and wanted to ski with others from Conner. The key to doing this was to form a Ski Club. That way they could ski with a variety of people and take advantage of group rates. Their first step in starting the club was speaking to Mr. Arnold who suggested that they obtain a sponsor. Two teachers volunteered, Mr. Hull and Mrs. Challis. The club is now a reality with twenty-five members.

In order to be included in Who's Who. students must be members of the junior or senior class, however at Conner this special honor is reserved for sen- iors only. Students also must have an accumulative grade point average of ”B” or better and they must have demonstrat- ed achievement in academics, athletics, or extracurricular ac- tivities. This year 22 students from Conner will have a short biogra- phy. their picture, and their opin- ions on major issues printed in the book. '5 The Best Education is getting the stick from many sides these days. Federal and state reports, futuro- logists. business people, and spe- cial interest groups are all con- cerned with lower than average national test scores. One of the reasons for the lower scores is that education has become an isolated facet of today’s society. One primary problem has been poor communication. That is why the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, Inc. has initiated the program it now calls BEST, which stands for Business Edu- cation Success Teams. One of the main goals of this program is to open up the lines of communi- cation between business and education, as well as promoting interest in the schools from oth- er segments of the community. The program was initiated in the 1982-83 school year. Several ■4 7 SbyS -adca.

Jeff Senior Directory 199 Looking Both Ways The view from the end of the year looked good as Conner students remembered their past accomplishments. The year was filled with many successful moments for them. The Football Team proved themselves to be the best when they went down-state and became State Champs. The Marching Cougars now have their names in the Guinness Book of World Records as being the owners of the world's largest marching band trophy. The first year Typing Classes participated in an Olympic typing contest where many students received bronze, silver, and gold medals. Some individual achievements were those attained by Cindy Hudson, an award for best actress in the Regional Drama Contest-. Teresa Poynter. who received a trophy for being one of the top ten performers in the State Drama Contest-, and Melvin Miles who received the Most Valuable Player award from both the Cincinnati Post and Cincinnati Enquirer. Later that year DECA member Kim Peace won 2nd place while competing at the state level. The new Computer Team which included Scott Pennington. Dion Cornett, and Mike Pollard performed at a computer competition in Louisville in April. Also, congratulations are in order for Mr. Terry Edwards who passed his Bar Exams and was sworn in on May 21 by the Kentucky Supreme Court. For these students and all of the others at Conner, the year was filled with many accomplishments that no one will soon forget. As for the view of the future, for most, it looks promising. Two winners of the Art Contest sponsored by Levi Strauss were Bruce Wyckoff and Bill Sebr- ing.
