The annoying buzz of the alarm clock sounds and the stu- dents and the staff of Conner Senior High School sluggishly drag their tired bodies from bed and prepare themselves for school. After finishing their early morning before-school- routine, some stroll casually to the bus stop while others me- ander out to their cars. Upon arrival at school, stu- dents immediately meet with their friends to find out the lat- est news or gossip. Interrupting their talking, the quarter-after bell rings and the students be- gin to scurry either in the di- rection of their homerooms or lockers. Then the twenty-five- after bell rings and students gather outside their homeroom doors to talk and laugh. The halls are beginning to empty now, with the exception of a few tardy students trying to make class on time. Finally the 8:30 bell sounds and students are ready for a learning day. With their books and papers in arm, students realize that the KEY To Tomorrow Begins To- day. Conner Senior High School still stands proud and ready to greet students since 1970. Principal Paul Hogan (inset) opens the front door to begin the day. Leaving home to start a bright day at school is Don Bredenburg. Locking his car door is Chris Duncan. Kim Holtkamp collects her homework for preparation of school. Opening 3 THE KEY TO THE HEART IS A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS Can you remember back to the first day of school in first grade? That is where most of your ear- liest friendships sprouted. You finally realized that mom wasn't going to be there all day for the next 12 years so you might as well make the best of things. You sat down next to that lucky someone, wiped away your tears, and introduced yourself. Since then you've made a lot of friends and can see that they have become a large part of your life, like spending some of the best of times together. That one true friend was the one to lean on when things just wouldn't go the right way, or to share that special secret when you just couldn't keep it to yourself. Now here you are in your last years of high school. Many of you will part and go your sepa- Taking time away from class are some rate ways, yet within your heart you will cherish «the fond mem- ories.

Giving a big smile for the camera are Sean Sumpter and Tonya Maxwell. Opening 5 in THE KEY TO HIEVEMENT OPENS THE MIND Conner Senior High is experiencing a transi- tional period in size, shape, and attitude. Opening new doors, exploring new di- rections, and seeking new ideas, CHS is always looking to- ward the future. This year's plans are to move the freshman (from Conner Ju- nior High) in the 1987-88 school year to the high school. In order to accommodate these additional students, the Boone County Board of Education in- tends to build on a new wing which will include new class- rooms. Still another bonus includes a large variety of classes to help students better prepare for col- lege or careers after school. Many new A.P. classes are now available, ranging from history to science. These excellerated classes are designed to chal- lenge the above average pupils by exposing them to various materials beyond that present- ed in the regular classroom; consequently, expectations far excel those of an average stu- dent. Whatever the case may be when planning for the future, one must always be aware that the KEY to Achievement is Opening The Mind. A.P. History teacher Mr. Akin often entertains during his class while teaching. Advanced History visit the State Capital, (inset) Tina Woodruff makes an investment in her future by taking the ACT test. Second year teacher Mrs. Woods teaches during her third period Algebra class. A.P. Science teacher Mr. Martin demonstrates the use of a microscope to Ben Heuser and Doug Rhodus. A KEY TO Students at one time or another have day- dreamed about what they were going to be doing on the weekend. Most of them used these moments to get psyched up about the big game on Friday. Game day arrives and the ex- citement and spirit can be felt throughout the hallways. After the school day has come to an end and it's time for the game, fans arrive in herds with their scarlet, royal, and white attire, ready to cheer the Cougars onto victory. The official's whistle sounds, when the clock begins the countdown. As the game gets on its way, a special feeling of excitement and anxiety is shared between the fans and players. The scoreboard winds down its last few seconds. The game is victorious and the cheerleaders get the crowd up for one last cheer. As we look back through the keyhole of time and see Con- ner's past victories, we know that all that is left now are the great memories, but our enthu- siasm continues to grow. It is known and felt throughout the stands that The Golden KEY To Victory Is Spirit. The Cougar Pep Club shows disappointment about the last call of the game. A rush play by the football team (inset) lohathon Ammon marches with his saxaphone, during own Cougar mascot, in disguise, is Danny Pieper. Ellen Goodridge displays her excitement with a jump for Cougar spirit. Opening 9 THE KEY TO SUCCESS IS As the school year quickly draws to a close, the seniors have a sad realization that their twelve years of schooling are about to come to an end. During the year there are a lot of mixed emotions among the Senior class. When asked what they will be thinking at graduation, a couple of seniors reacted. Sue Ward replied, I will be very happy because I have completed twelve years of school. Tami Dolin thinks of graduation in a totally different aspect. She remembers all of those friends that she made and wonders if she will ever see any of them again. After graduation many stu- dents find themselves going in different directions. Some, like Eric Ford, will find themselves at college as the University of Kentucky to major in advertis- ing. Others, like Tom Bushel- man and Randy Behymer, will join the Military Service. Whatever the future may hold for the graduating seniors of Conner Senior High School, we are sure that they will always remember that The KEY to Success Is The Right Direction Senior's T. Head, S. Luck, C. Moore, K. Vines, A. Walker, and L. Smith all seem a bit anxious to end the school year. Cherie Connelly works (inset) to keep herself busy. Scott Modesitt agree's that computers will contribute to a large part of the future. Moving away from home is only a small part of growing up for Lori Bathalter and Davina Anderson. Military plans are ahead for Randy Behymer and Tom Bushelman. THE RIGHT DIRECTION r w ft The City shines brilliantly on Light up Cincinnati night. The Bengals (inset) square off against Houston in the second gafne of the season. The bustle of the Greater Cincinnati Airport is intensified during the holidays. (I? ti 'I i Open a door. Venture out to see exactly what your hometown has to offer. Some students often find the time to spend the after- noon with one another. Others may go to the Cincinnati Zoo, visit Kings Island, or even stay in the Boone County area and stop by the Greater Cincinnati Airport. Our Northern Kentucky area is a growing and expanding area that attracts many people. WEBN Fireworks alone draw over 60,000 people each year, and sport's fans frequently stop by Riverfront Stadium to see a football or baseball game. The airport, one of the busiest in the United States, is constantly growing and expanding to meet the needs of our commu- nity. For these reasons our area is always a changing place. With each day you begin to explore the growth and hori- zon of your future within your hometown, and discover that The KEY To Abroad Begins At Home. WinlerFest at Kings Island features a decorated Eiffel Tower. The WEBN Fireworks entertain 300,000 Cincinnatians every year. Opening 13 14 Senior Divider THE KEY TO MEMORIES Talking over plans after graduation are Alisa Mokas and Diana Stewart. Wasting time before class starts are Jim Lucas, Steve Hudson, Eric Ford. Brother rivalry doesn't end at home for twin brothers Kris and Kevin Hamilton. During lunch you can often find senior’s hanging around the gym with friends. The 1987 Senior Class consists of 263 lively and ambitious students who want to be actively in- volved in various activities and events offered at CHS. Since this is the last of their high school days, they certainly wish it to be one unforgettable year; one fulfilled with the most memorable of times. Special events, such as the Senior Dinner Dance and Prom, just aren't worth missing. These are times for sharing great fun with the friends that they will soon part from and may never see again. Leadership is a big part in ev- ery group and this year's class sponsor is Cathy Schafer. She has worked along with the Se- nior Board to make the 1986-87 school year a successful one. No matter where the Class of 1987 is twenty to thirty years from now, they will always car- ry a part of CHS. With warm memories of their high school days treasured deep within their hearts, their senior year will never be forgotten. The KEY To Memories Are Locked Within The Seniors.

Leaders Of The Class Even though some seniors are not old enough to vote, that doesn't stop them from voicing their opinions and electing officers for their class. The Senior Board is a chosen group of individuals who interpret their feilow classmates' ideas and then relay them to the faculty. This group has responsibilities such as the Senior Dinner Dance, Com- posite orders, the Senior Luncheon, and Class Shirts. To preside at the meetings they elected Tyler Kelly — President, Jonathan Trimble — Vice President, Gina Tate — Secretary, and Jimmy Ryan — Treasurer. This year the student body voted on several topics and decided the Class Flow- er to be a red rose and the Class Song to be Don't You Forget About Me . All in all, the elections of the 1987 school year turned out to be very memo- rable. A lot of decisions had to be made, but this was their year as Seniors, a chance for them to make the ones that would be locked in their hearts forever. Senior Board The Senior Board members: 1st row — Jennifer Weaver, Lauri Moore, Claire May. 2nd row — Kristy Gouge, Dawn Graves, Heidi Buddenburg, Margie Close, Dawn Robinson. 3rd row — Jimmy Ryan, Sean Sumpter, Mickey Clore, Steve Brumer, Wayne Smith, Rusty Pennington. Seniors 33 Unsung Heroes Throughout our school days there has been that outstanding athlete, or the ge- nius of the class, and even the most popu- lar guy or girl of the student body. These type of people seem to go far in life; they are the ones who receive scholarships and awards because of their talents. Many people feel that the middle man, or the average student never gets ahead, but here at Conner the students take a differ- ent view. Conner has its popular athletes etc., but we also acknowledge the teenagers that work diligently to balance both their study and extracurricular activities. 1. Getting back to nature” is Kathy Fahey. 2. Mike Dragan stands proud in Mrs. Nall's English class. 3. Jonathan Trimble with his busy schedule still finds time to pose for a picture. 4. After failing to get her locker open, Suzanne Walton still shows a smile. 5. Trying to remem- ber his locker combination is Joe Hogan. Kathy Fahey Who enjoys taking hikes in the outdoors, and playing such sports as volleyball and tennis? The answer to this question could be none other than Kathy Fahey. Kathy is involved in the Spanish Club, Science Club, the National Honor Society, and is also an Office Aide. She says if she could change one aspect of school it would be that every student be considered as equal by their peers and not belong to a certain clique. Miss Fahey is at the top of her class and her future plans seems promising. She has been considered for a scholarship in business and is preparing to attend Berea College next fall. 34 Seniors Mike Dragan With an almost perfect grade point average, Mike Dragan has much to say about his academic accomplishments in school. He is in various A.P. classes such as Calculus and A.P. Science. Even though Mike has such a busy schedule, he still finds time to play sports! Mike is not only the Cougar's quarterback, but he also is active on the baseball team. Mike stated, You find the time and make the time to study for tests . Mike has placed his priorities in order so that he has fun, but when it comes down to business, that's exactly what he does! Suzanne Walton Placing 3rd in the Football Homecoming is a prestigous award for Suzanne Walton, but her life isn't always so glamorous. Miss Walton works hard to maintain her grades and is ranked 15th in the class. She is involved in such clubs as: Calculus Club, National Honor Society, FBLA, and Women of Conner. Sports-wise Suzanne is a key player for the Lady Cougar's Basketball Team. Miss Walton's goals doesn't stop at High School, she plans to attend Georgetown University next year. Jonathan Trimble I honestly feel that God put you on the earth for a purpose, so you must do the best with what you have, stated Jonathan Trimble. Jonathan is the Vice President of the Sr. Class, a member of Men of Conner, and the Student Council. He keeps busy but still finds time to do volunteer work at Booth Hospital. This young man is confined to a wheelchair because of Cerebal Palsy, but his friends say that he doesn't want to be thought of as different. He has faced many problems with of his handicap, but with the help of teachers and peers, he will reach success in life. Joe Hogan Being a National Merit-Semi finalist is not an ordinary run-of- the-mill high school award, but is an achievement Joe Hogan can be proud of. Joe is a bright guy who knows what he wants to do with his life. He maintains a 3.6 average and is in the top ten of his class. This senior has applied for many scholarships and is determined to study engineering at Michigan State or Purdue. Accomplishments just didn't happen, but through studying and hard work his goals were attainable. He has been active in school clubs such as: National Honor Society, Math Club, Spanish Club, and Men of Conner. As any typical teenager would, Joe enjoys hiking, basketball and softball, and also likes going out with his friends. Although Mr. Hogan might appear to be a usual student at Conner, his goals and accomplishments are indeed, well above average. Seniors 35 Time After Time Through the years of growing up you tend to forget many of those fun and sad times. A few refreshers are all you may need to stir the many memories stored in your heart. Like the times on Christmas morning you received the presents you asked for, or hunting Easter Eggs on a sun- ny Easter Sunday. There were incidents when your par- ents had questioned faces, remember how protective they were when you were out playing, all the times they tried to teach you how to tie your shoes, and your dreams of being on your own seemed un- reachable. Finally there are teenage years where having friends and that special someone are all very important. Though your par- ents may still not understand you, with more guidance you are sure to make it on your own. 1. Angie Mobley and Mickey Clore share Christmas together in 1986. 2. Carie Moore and Amy Schaller enjoy the spring fever with the Easter Bunny. 3. Claire May, Amy Schaller, and Matt Tanner take time to play on the Monkey Bars. 4. Shannon Merrell assists Bill Dillion in tying his shoe. 5. Haley Ammon, Scott Luck, Kristen Hughes and Kevin Hamilton need to get their dates straightened out.

Recall Your First Growing up starts with a series of Firsts . There is a beginning to everything you do: Leaving for your first day of school. Meeting your first best friend. That first True Love . Hearing that first I Love You . A first Kiss. Getting ready for that first date. Working at that first job. Receiving your first paycheck. The first time you drove the car. Feeling that first broken heart. Earning your first starting position on a team. Of course, after every first, there starts a second and the numbers grow on down the line.

Get that special someone to call you up only to have them ... ask for your best friend's phone number! If you answered YES to any of the above, you definitely qualify as a Normal American Teenager! Seniors 37 Memories Of 86-87 As the years went by, many changes have taken place in our community. For instance, in the field of box office smash- es, there were early movies ranging from the very dramatic Gone With The Wind to the current realistic Platoon . In the category of rock-n-roll, enter- tainment varied from the 1960's hit single Hard Day's Night to the 1980's chart topper such as Jacob's Ladder . Men's and women's apparel is ever- changing with popular styles ranging from oversized sweatshirts and Guess jeans or dressy slacks with a classy shirt or blouse. This chic appearance could be seen at Conner High during the 86-87 school year. 1. Kelli McGillis and Tom Cruise, stars of Top Cun, were the teenage heartthrobs of 1986 2. Still rowdy and rocking with excitement from the Bon Jovi concert is Steve T. King. 3. Brian Taylor and Steve D. King model some of the men's latest fashions. 4. Showing the newfangled favorites of women's apparel are Nicole Westcrmeyer and Cari Moore. 5. joking around while modeling their fashionable bows and lace designs are Jackie Miller, Lauri Moore, and Tami Dolin. Favorite Flicks It was a record breaking year at the box office as movie goers swamped the ticket windows to see their favorite movies. At Conner, the students proved to be no different when it came to their screen idols. Among the highly admired entertainers were: Tom Cruise, who portrayed an F-14 jet fighter pilot called Maverick in Top Gun, Paul Hogan, who played an Aussie coming to America for the first time in the motion picture Crocodile Dundee, plus the never-ending adventures of James T. Kirk and the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek IV. Other successful films included: Platoon, Nightmare on Elm Street — Dream Warriors, and Lethal Weapon. 38 Seniors Rockin The Charts During the 50's, the expression Rock-n-Roll is here to stay was very popular, and this expression has been carried over into the fast pace of the 80's bands. 1987 was a year of comeback for the rock group Van Halen as their fans eagerly accepted Sammy Hagar as the replaced lead singer. An all- female group, known as The Bangles, who have also hit the charts with Manic Monday and Walk Like an Egyptian . This year's favorite rock group, the energetic Bon Jovi, emerged with fantastic no. 1 hits such as: You Give Love a Bad Name and Livin on a Prayer . Performing in Cincinnati March 19 and 20 of 1987, this band was enthusastically welcomed by local fans. Other famous rock groups were Huey Lewis and The News, and Genesis. The 'GQ' Guy” Today's men's apparel has taken on a fashionable trend. Back in the 1970's, popular styles included bellbottom jeans and t-shirts; now in the 86-87 season, male clothing has basically been centered around designed jeans, sweaters, and sweatshirts. Some have decided to go a little further into the fashion scene and dress up with slacks and Oxfords, although most men's preference lie in the category of Levis. Other fashionable styles included Lee Pinstripes and Guess Straightlegs. Seniors 39 The fine art of style is greatly influenced by the accessories that highlight fashion. For instance, this year's newfangled favorites were: fancy bows, stylish belts, oversized purses, and hooped earrings. Bows really hit the spotlight as design silhouettes on jewelry, shoes, handbags, hosiery, and hair adornments. Other contemporary items involved in the accessory makeup include leather, metal, or woven belts in a variety of colors and sizes depending on personal preference. In the category of purses, some girls chose large, oversized shoulder bags, while other girls preferred small, petite handbags. Topping off the fashionable look were gold and silver hooped earrings helping to frame the face, plus also adding a touch of style to the overall appearance. Cultural Clothing Many modifications have taken place in the field of clothing. In 1985, stirrup pants, paisley prints, and oversized sweaters made the big fashion statement. However, in 1987, the arrays of fashion have been centered upon different cultures. Such vogue garments that captured the fashionable eye were: the Western look, for the down-to-earth person, with prairie skirts, bibbed overalls, and ragged jeans; the European look, for the cultural individual, featured the bold style of the Italian Forenza line which included pastel sweaters, snugfitting leggings, and colorful sweatshirts; the Australian image, designed for the fashionable outdoorsman, included famous designs from Outback Red such as ivory lace blouses, ten-button shirts and sweaters, all which looked great with a pair of Khaki slacks. And joining the world of clothing. Coca Cola came out with their own designs for garments. This variety of clothing was captured in Conner Senior High of the 1986-87 school year. Accents On Accessories Financial Furies! I need some money is a common phrase made by teenagers throughout their school years. This period of time is very difficult for young adults because of the many activities they want to partici- pate in. For example, basketball games, movies, dances, etc, but it seems that the individuals never have the money when they desperately need it. Many of the students solve their money situations by getting jobs after school, while others choose the oldest ritual in the world, asking good old Mom and Dad! We have decided to show on these pages the never-ending saga of a teen- ager's Financial Furies! 1. Dawn Garner, Kris Hamilton, Steve King, and Margie Close look at their Senior Memories Book. 2. Wayne Smith politely opens the door for Candy Norton. 3. Looking at college pamphlets is Brian Logsdon and Candy Norton 4.

Each year as the cold win- ter approaches or the warm weather of spring begins, the thoughts of faraway places and adventures come to the minds of every young adult. Vacation! — The most important word in a teenager's vocabulary. The dreams of warm sunny beaches or the picturesque view of snowcovered mountains or even the sound of a fast moving stream are just a few of the places students imagine themselves to be, instead of the steady pace of school life. Some students beg their parents to al- low them to go to the beach by them- selves, while others settle for the annual family summer vacation. However, wher- ever the student may go, their vacation means only two things: Fun and Parties ! 1. Touring the city of Munich Germany in December are Sue Ward jnd a friend. 2. Jackie Miller lives it up in Las Vegas Nevada. 3. Dawn Tomlin and her father learn the correct way to eat clams in South Carolina. 4. Showing his expertise at water skiing is Danny Stahl. 5. Catching some of the suns rays in Mexico are Angela Mobley and her mother. Europe The best part of the trip was getting to know foreign people and communicating with them , commented Sue Ward when asked about her journey to Europe. Break, Sue toured the beautiful lands of Austria and Germany for 9 days. In Austria, Sue visited such places as the elegant Von Trapp mansion which was used in the filming The Sound of Music , and while in Germany, she was able to see the enormous Olympic facility in Munich where the 1972 games were held. The most comical experience took place when Sue's luggage took a detour to India for four days. This European Vacation was one that Sue will Las Vegas What is the city that never sleeps? It is the city of a million lights, Las Vegas, and Jackie Miller was able to visit this spectacular town in April of 1987. Jackie went to Nevada to see her brother and his family. While there she visited such places as Lake Mead, Mt. Charleston and of course the Casinos. She also took the time to do some shopping and bought her prom dress at a small boutique in Caesar's Palace. Jackie said the one thing that impressed her most about the city were the lights. They are so bright, that even at night it seems as if it's daytime! 42 Seniors Kiawah Island During the month of August Dawn Tomlin and her parents took their family vacation at sunny Kiawah Island, in South Carolina. As any teenager would, Dawn spent many hours at the beach sunbathing and checking out the guys. She also was involved with some unusual activities such as a clam bake, where she learned the proper procedures of opening and eating a clam. Dawn was enthusiastic about the safari when she replied, It was neat because I saw alligators, birds, and other wildlife . During the summer Angie Mobley and her parents took a four day vacation to beautiful Cancun, Mexico. While there they encountered many different experiences; one occurred when a false alarm was set. The hotel panicked, and people were rushing out when the Mobleys were trying to check in! As any individual would, Angie spent the majority of the time on the beach. I took a walk on the first day and in just 15 minutes I was already tan, commented Angie. When they grew tired of the beach, the family would go back to the hotel room and watch the many different kinds of lizards fight over the food that they would throw down to them. On the last day of the vacation Ms. Mobley took the opportunity to go para-sailing. This was the high point of the trip, but she promised herself that once was quite enough! Kettle Falls Staying in a log cabin in the mountains of the state of Washington was one of the numerous adventures Danny Stahl took part in this summer. Danny went on vacation for three and a half weeks in July of 1986 to rugged Ketle Falls, Washington with his step-dad and some friends. While there he visited close relatives plus spent many fun-filled hours participating in sports like water skiing. On this he commented, The hardest part is getting up and staying up . From here they traveled to Long Beach Oregon (the longest beach in the United States). During his visit there, he frequently would go deep sea fishing for salmon from 4:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. or until each caught their limit of two salmon per person, per day. This sport was the Highlight of Danny's vacation out West! Seniors 43 Count- down Senioritis is a common disease found among high school seniors who only have a short time until graduation. This plague causes day dreaming, sleep- iness, or even hyperactivity; and yes, sometimes it can be the start of craziness. Once this condition has taken over, the countdown has begun! Students find themselves making huge calendars to mark the remainder of their high school days on earth, while others take it more calmly by just marking their pocket calen- dars. But no matter how one may react to- wards Graduation, you can almost be sure that all 270 Seniors have had Senioritis in some form or another. 1.

THE MANY KEYS INCLUDE Each year Sophomores and Juniors were chosen by their fellow class- mates to lead their class through the year. They are giv- en additional responsibilities of guiding this class and contrib- ute extra time to make the school year a success. Beginning at the bottom of the ladder are ten sophomore students who are elected to serve as active members on the Student Council. The Council is a place where students can air their gripes and complaints about the school with coordi- nator Mr. Bob Young. Climbing the ladder are the Junior class. Selecting an elite few to represent them as a stu- dent body are President: Ben Huff; Vice-President: Kelly Young; Secretary: Lori Meyer; and Treasurer: Brian Carpenter. These four along with sixteen additional representatives, and class sponsor, Mrs. Donna Miller, diligently work to raise money for the Jr. Sr. Prom. These two groups are ex- tremely important to the Key Ring of Excellence in the School. Creating a masterpiece of art are Mike Bell and Steve Watson. Missy Beach tests her strength with Angie Krebbs.

Some may choose a quiet country-side with rolling hills and clear blue skies (Roger Perry). Or maybe one might wish to view the breath-taking scene of snow-capped mountains and rushing rivers (Dawn Blackburn, Stephanie Rider). Others may desire to escape to an exotic island in the South Pacific with it's crashing waves and sandy beaches (Pat Sullivan, Kimm Jones). On the other hand, many people prefer the roar of city life with its bustling crowds, towering buildings and continuous noises. Particu- larly attractive are the center squares drawing many crowds in vari- ous seasons (Mike Jones, Crystal Litz). There are many places to let your minds wander off to. Where would you go?

A lot of these good times happen in school, during the summer, or with your friends. Juniors had many responses to the question, What have been your best times? Lori Meyer — Going out with Mike Delph. Brian Hite — At St. Moritz with Mike Stocking, Troy Taylor, and Jay Weigand. Julie Oakley — Fighting with Meredith Viox in Basic Chemistry. Paul Thornberry — Listening to Mr. Taylor give one of his Sermons! Chuck Rowland — Can't say because they're all dirty. Dawn Holtkamp — Spending all day with Jeff Akers. Troy Taylor — Going to the movies with Brian Hite and watch- ing him be chased by a 15 year-old, 225 lb. girl. Amy Reeves — Spending time with the cheerleading squads during my sophomore year.

You have your camera and your pencil and paper, ready for the next few moments to come. Then out walks the celebrity that you have longed to meet.

On the flip-side of this, students also do things that really bug teachers. The following are the top ten: 1) Mrs. Lane — Asking a question that has just been answered. 2) Mr. Bornhorst — Waiting until the last minute to get a late slip. 3) Mrs. Dixon — Vandalism. 4) Mrs. Woods — Not doing homework. 5) Miss Rainey — Students who do not come with materials. 6) Mrs. Gardener — Students that come to class and say, 'Oh, was that due today.' 7) Mrs. Crabtree — Students that talk excessively. 8) Mr. Taylor — When you are talking to a class and the stu- dents show a lot of rudeness. 9) Mrs. Challis — Asking a question that has nothing to do with the class. 10) Mrs. Robinson — Students that smoke. 1.

Shawn Masters — I was bothered a little by having teachers I was unfamiliar with. Traci Day — I was afraid of the seniors. Roman Miles — I felt excited because it was a new start in a new place.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE — There was a twenty-five car pile up in front of my driveway and I just couldn't get out! exclaimed Scott Walton. This was just one of the crazy excuses students would like to use when late to school. If you were Mr. Massey would you excuse the poor soul? A person would have to think twice about some of these. What's your opinion? Monique Helmig — I ran out of hair spray! Lee Thompson — I didn't have any clean underwear! Michelle Wentworth — A tornado hit my house last night and took me to the Land of Oz along with my dog Toto. Jeremy Burton — I forgot where the school was.

Tara Lipps types on her problem with caution so as to not make a mistake. Off To A Super Start Some people say she was born to play basketball, but she has really had to work hard to get where she is today. Kim Warfield, a superstar basketball player, has been involved in this sport for a number of years. Ever since she was a very little girl, she would run on the court and play with the big boys after a Conner Senior High School game. Working hard is not the only advantage to Kim. Her father Bill Warfield, the coach of Conner's basketball team for 17 years, has also helped her with quite a few pointers. Another factor contributing to her talent is practicing three hours a day during the summer. This has helped to improve her point average which was 13.2 during her freshman year. Playing in a State game had always been a high goal, but now that she has accomplished this as a freshman during the Sweet Sixteen last year, she has raised her dreams to higher standards, such as playing in the Olympics. Although playing basketball takes up a great deal of her time and contributes to a large part of her life, she also spends time on her homework to better prepare herself for college. Right now Kim's career plans for the future are to become a Marine Biologist. 1. Kim Warfield thinks to herself, I really don't mind getting my picture taken. 2.

From the excite- ment of our football team beat- ing Covington Catholic to our basketball team defeating New- port Central Catholic, this school year has been full of sus- pense and joy. The Girls Bas- ketball team also added plenty of enthusiasm when they won first place in the Highlands tournament. Another great ac- complishment for Conner oc- curred when the Varsity base- ball team beat the undefeated Campbell County Camels, and a most interesting highlight this year was when the Boy's Varsity Cheerleading squad received fifth in Nationals. This was a first-time experience for the Northern KY area. I'm sure all players of these sports will agree that it is a vital part of your high school years to be involved in sports. It pro- vides excitement, exercise, and a chance to fulfill your dreams. In conclusion, a Key to Compe- tition is Sports. Several baseball players warm-up before an exciting game. All-State team member, Kim Warfield, leading the Lady Cougars to a fantastic victory. Troy Kennedy and Billy Adams tackling a Juggernaut to help out the Conner Cougars. With high expectations the basketball team watches closely. L.UtJJ A Season Worth Remembering As a striving successful team, which was built on experience and pride, the Conner Cougars fought a season that will never be forgotten. Although starting off with a slow beginning, the end was a great reward. Losing the first two games to Boone and Cov. Latin by only one point, the Cougars came back to win nine of the next fifteen games, and to tie one. Breaking the record of most wins as well as most goals, scored by Scott Modesitt, the team proved to be one of the best in Conner's history. The Cougars dominated the field with their quick thinking and teamwork. Helping to score some of the goals with Scott were Seniors Cary Garnett, Brian Becker, Sean Sumpter, Jimmy Ryan, and Mark Fox. Kevin Vines, a first year goalie, started for the Cougars with over 100 saves and two shut- out games. Another leading defensive player Mickey Clore helped to round out the senior squad. This season four players from Conner were accepted to the All-Region team. They were Seniors Scott Modesitt, Cary Garnett, Mark Fox, and Junior Noel Alig. Key players to look out for next year will be Noel Alig, Steve Bailey, and Kevin Frommeyer along with their optimistic Coach, Mack Bowling. SCORES CSHS OPPS 1 Boone 4 3 Cov.

He is a real winner and has the respect of every player on the team. explained Mike Dragan. Numerous fans turned out to see just how the new head coach would do, and what he did was great! Coach Clark (pictured at left) reached a milestone this year which was his 200th victory. He obtained the milestone winning against Newport with a score of 19 to 8. Coach Clark commented on this, Not very many football coaches have been fortunate enough to reach that plateau. The feelings of the players about their season was that it could have been better if they could have controlled their main weaknesses which were mistakes and turnovers. But they often made Tip for them with their strengths which were their hard blockers and the speed of the back field. One of the most exciting games was against 5th ranked Covington Catholic — 23 to 15. A big factor of this win was the opening kickoff return by Greg Vicario. He fielded the kickoff at the 15 yard line, went to his right, and ran 85 yards for the first score of the game. Duane Hudson then added his talent and scored again which gave the Cougars a score of 13-0 for the first quarter. IContinued on page 80) Football 79 (Continued from pg. 79) Another run by Hudson set up the final score of the half. After the kick-off return he was on the 12 yard line, but 5 more yards were awarded because of a facemask penalty. The Cougars chalked up three more points thanks to Mike Timberlake and left for the locker rooms with a half-time score of 16-7. During the second half Jeff Akers put the game out of reach with a 45 yard touchdown run with only a few minutes left in the game. This was a game that would not soon be forgotten! At the end of the season other Cougar players held outstanding records. F. Anneken led the number of tackling points with 165 while Brian Couch had the most recovered fumbles which consisted of 3.

Conner always a victorious leader walked away with top honors, as the girls placed first place in their division. Contributing to a large part of the wins were Patty Roberts, Teryl Fisher, and Kari Price. Jay Holmes also had a day worth thinking about as he placed second in the 1.8 mile run. Jeff Plank, a senior this year, has helped to carry the team through the season with his ability as well as enthusiasm. Jeff set a new record in the three mile run at Walton Verona. His time was fifteen minutes and fourty-one seconds, beating the original time by fifty-five seconds. The J.V. Runners placed second in the Boone County Invitational and came back to win the conference. Next year they have hopes of coming back to win even more, with a stronger and more powerful team than ever. 82 Cross Country 1. Terryl Fisher gets her kicks after Mr. Dittis wraps her foot. 2.

Cross Country 83 VOLLEYBALL Starting From Scratch Let's go Lady Cougars! exploded throughout the gymnasium as the 1986- 87 volleyball team took the court. Although the season started off slowly with numerous close defeats, the team continued to practice and never lose hope. With a large squad of inexperienced player, winning seemed very slim. The Cougars managed to come back to beat their cross- country rival, Boone County Lady Rebels, by winning 2 out of 3 matches. This game was close with the girls pulling together and the team playing as one. Leading the team were Seniors Tami Dolin, Angie Logan, and Kristi Sidney. Although having only 3 seniors they put up a tough battle. Contributing were Juniors Haley Ammon, Stephanie Hungler, and Sophomore Jennifer Burcham. Next year's hopes can be brightened by the fact of more students arriving to play. With freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Coach Shannon can have a larger amount of players to choose from. Hopefully next year will arrive with the same amount of enthusiasm and spirit as this year's team showed. 84 Volleyball SCORES CSHS OPPS I Simon Kenton W L Dixie W L Newport w L Beechwood w L C.

Volleyball 85 An Unforgettable Season The 86-87 Varsity Basketball Season started out with a burst of energy and excitement as the Cougars won their first five games. But suddenly the Cougar fans were jolted back with a loss to Highlands, which started a three game losing streak. Determined not to lose the next game, the Cougars set their spirits high before facing off against the Thoroughbreds of N.C.C. The crowd cheered and the Cougars fought hard to stay with the up and running Thoroughbreds. Finally, early in the fourth quarter, all of the hustle and excitement began to pay off. The Cougars took the lead, and at the end the scoreboard and the fan's approval 86 Boys Basketball proved the Cougars were still one of the top teams in Northern Ky. The final score of the contest was 54-48. We played our best and hardest ever, commented Gayle McGlasson. Once again the Cougars were able to come out of a game with their heads up and spirits high. Coming into the district game with a 13-9 record, the Cougars gave the Walton Bearcats a tough and exciting fight. Unfortunately that night the outcome of the game just wasn't meant io happen the Cougars' way. The final score was Walton 68 and Conner 62. All were disappointed, but this season's memories will never die. f I V CSHS OPPS 78 Gallatin County 58 57 Ludlow 49 58 Simon Kenton 51 45 Newport 42 72 Dixie 46 64 Highlands 72 60 Walton Verona 74 53 Campbell County 71 92 Alumni 88 54 N.C.C. 48 52 Scott 66 74 Holmes 76 63 Boone County 69 74 Dixie 64 79 Fleming County 63 60 Cov.

The Lady Cougars lost their first two games, but the fans were proven wrong when the team came back to win the Highland tournament. A great factor toward these wins were the dedicated coaching staff, which are Tim Shields and Carmen Shannon. Mr. Shields has proved to be one of the best coaches in KY. He works very hard at making us a good team and he takes a lot of pride in our performances, commented Andrea Utz. The Cougars are very thankful for his support and outstanding coaching ability. After loosing several talented seniors and being regional champions last year, the Lady Cougars still proved to be very successful. They were led by seniors Suzanne Walton, Suzanne Conner, and Dawn Graves. Helping them were juniors Andrea Utz, Christy Schwa be, Stephanie Hungler, and most definitely, sophomore Kim Warfield. With all of these remarkable ball players the team felt confident. Our strong points are that the team is well-rounded and we don't have to depend on one person, remarked Suzanne Walton. (pictured at left) (Continued on pg. 90) Girls Basketball 89 (Continued from pg. 89) This has definitely helped the Lady Cougars. During the Boone County Recorder Classic, they beat Mason County in the quarter- finals. The game was close until the latter stages of the third quarter when Kim Warfield and Suzanne Walton led a scoring run that pushed a 30-28 score to 41-28. This led the Lady Cougars to the semi-finals where they played Louisville Southern. The Lady Cougars went into the game with their heads held high. They fought hard, but unfortunately were still undefeated with a score of 72-45. With the district 90 Girls Basketball tournament being held at Conner, the Lady Cougars had a high level of fan support in the first round of the tournament. They played the Walton Verona Lady Bearcats, and with a tough defense they progressed to the semi- finals with a score of 45- 34. The Lady Cougars started the game against St. Henry with a bang! They took control and pulled to a wide lead, but suddenly St. Henry turned the score around, and the Lady Cougars fell to a defeat of 37-41. Although everyone was disappointed they knew they had played their best and would never forget this successful season. CSHS Dixie Inv.

Girls Basketball 91 Pinning Down Another Good Year A very fine season resulted with the success of Conner's coach, Wayne Badida who has been the wrestling coach since the school was first opened and is highly regarded by his wrestlers. Assisting Coach Badida this year is a new coach Mr. Tom Stellman, who has really contributed his time and effort in helping the team prepare for upcoming matches. Curt Messerly comments, No one coach can know it all, and Mr. Stellman has given us a lot of benefiting knowledge that has helped the team greatly. The 16th annual Conner Wrestling Invitational was a success with the Cougars finishing first with 196 points. Contributing to the win were champions Curt Messerly, John Wyan, and Bob Roland. Curt Messerly also received the award for Most Valuable Wrestler. Overall, twelve wrestlers from Conner placed in the Invitational. The season ended with the team placing 9th in this year's State Tournament where Jeff Thomas finished 3rd and John Wyan placed 2nd. Congratulations to the coaches and the team for a fine season.

With good coaching the team has improved a great deal from last year, commented Kevin Bonar, but the team's one weakness is our lack of experience. The first match was April 13 against Boone County and Beechwood at Conner's home course of Boone County. Although they got off to a slow start with Beechwood winning, things then started to look up for the Cougars, who finished second in the tri-match. Finishing up the year Mike Tesson commented that the highlight of the season was shooting a 40 on 9 holes at Boone County . 1.

Under the instruction of new coach, Mr. Estes, plus several returning starters from last year's team, the team was ready to play ball. Although the team did get off to a slow start, losing their first five games. They picked up their spirits and exploded on their next opponent, the Pendleton County Wildcats. The Cougars offense showed great hitting ability by scoring 19 runs, while the defense held Pendelton to only 2. We are possibly the best hitting team in Northern Kentucky, commented Mike Dragan. Another big game, and probably the high point of the season, occurred when the Cougars took on the undefeated and top rated Campbell County Camels. Proving their hitting ability once again, the Conner Cougars rapped out 15 hits and scored 9 runs against the excellent pitching of Campell County. The Cougars pitcher, Kevin Justice, went the distance and struck out 7 batters while walking only 3. Although they had these strengths, the players agree that one of their weaknesses was their fielding ability. All in all the team was very well-rounded. They have had a great and successful season, and hopefully, it will continue next year. 96 Baseball SCORES CSHS OPPS 02 Warren East 12 07 Warren Central 13 03 Warren Central 18 11 Walton-Verona 15 01 Cov.

This year's team is a dedicated mix of experience and beginners, each working hard to improve their individual game. The one fact that the players all agree on is that their team's record would be of more success if more students joined the team and the fun. I feel that we need more people to participate in tennis. We would have a satisfactory team and record if we didn't have to forfeit three out of five categories each day. commented Haley Ammon. Various players feel they have improved individually, but as a team, more hard work and dedication is needed to achieve their goals. Matt Young comments, Though there is a team score, you play and practice to improve your own game. A lot of new and inexperienced players have joined the team this year, and with the competition getting tougher, the young team is struggling. Several players have done a great job and are going to regionals this year. These players are Andrea Utz, Haley Ammon, and Donald Bredenburg. Overall, the team's performance was outstanding and hopefully their success will continue into the next season. Termis 99 A 'Positive' Year After stepping on the track for their first practice, the Girls and Boys track team had no idea they would have such a successful season. The Girl's team really worked together and did an outstanding job this year. At the beginning the girls started out strong by placing 2nd in the Conner Invitational with Teryl Fisher scoring 24 pts. and receiving the Most Valuable Performer award at the meet. They were also awarded fourth place in the Bellevue Invitational which was the states largest invitational track meet. Coach Didas, who has coached the girls track team for four years, comments, I believed in my girls and I am very proud. Taking a big step up from last year the boys also had a good year. The Boys track team placed 4th in the Conner Invitational with individual wins by Duane Hudson in the long jump and 300m hurdles plus Jeff Plank in the two-mile run. This was a big improvement for the team from last year. comments Coach Vickie Beagly. The talent and determination of a lot of up and coming runners shows the ambition for a successful season next year. 100 Track First Row (L R): J. Vaughn, M. Viox, T. Fisher, A. Carpenter, S.

Bad weather at the beginning of the season put a damper on both practices and spirits. Even though this may have affected the team in a bad way, Coach Coss told the girls to keep their heads up and to practice more to make up for the loss of time. To back them up in every game the Lady Cougars has a combination of quick players, including six experienced seniors plus many strong batters. Chris Durham, Kristi Gouge, and Dawn Graves showed fine defensive playing while lisa Lawson along with 102 Softball Stephanie Hungler displayed extraordinary offensive playing in a victory against Lloyd (23- 8). Another exciting game for the Lady Cougars was against Dayton. Angie Logan pounded out three hits to pace the attack, while Dawn Graves and Kristi Gouge added their talents by hitting two a piece. The Lady Cougars had led the game with a score of 5-2, but the score turned as Dayton came back to win with a score of 9-7. They then defeated Mason County which led them to the opening rounds of the Regional Tournament. Although they were defeated soon after, they had talent and determination to make a great team. 1.

A new squad was created: the Girl's Varsity Cheerleaders, formed for the purpose of cheering for the Girl's Basketball team, consist of five girls. They have done a superior job. Along with this excellent squad, the J.V. and Varsity squads finished in the top of all their competitions. One competition that both squads attended was at Scott High School, where the girls were great and walked away with the J.V. winning first in their division and the Varsity winning second in their division. Also the J.V. and Varsity attended a KAPOS competition where the Varsity received first in districts and third in regionals. The J.V. who also performed a fantastic job received first place overall. After winning a state competition in Stanford, Ky., the Varsity went on to represent this state in the Nationals. Out of thirty-eight squads, the talented Varsity received fifth runner-up! Preparation for winning at competitions begins long before the event. One way is by attending camp during the summer. This year all members attended Camp Crescendo for five days where they learned spirited sidelines, creative pom pon routines, and enthusiastic floor cheers. 104 Cheerleaders 1.

Cheerleaders 105 THE KEY TO MEMORIES Special Events are said to be the unique highlights to memories. Conner's Seniors have had many occa- sions that lead students to re- ♦member all those special times they had wjth close friends and sweethearts. Football and Basketball Homecomings give each club the chance to choose a candi- date to whom they wish to rep- resent them. After waiting for half-time the final moment came for the Queen to be an- nounced. Many agree that this was a once-in-a-lifetime expe- rience. Students love dances! The Senior Dinner Dance gives all the seniors and their dates a chance to spend time together and enjoy their year. Prom is also a special occasion and many wait all year for this dance to become reality — instead of a dream. All the glamour and memories never seem to end. Awards Night and Gradua- tion to some may not seem so glorious, but to seniors it is a very memorable time, for them to see all their accomplish- ments come to an end. All their hard work finally paid off. Special Events hold many dif- ferent memories for everyone, but all agree that without them high school years would not be so special.

The sky began to darken as everyone at the Hebron Baptist Church was hurrying about trying to get the last minute decorations on their car. The sun was still trying to come through when suddenly the rain began to pour. Don't worry it will all be over with for the rest of the night if it rains now, commented Annette Strange, and she was right. The rain did hold off just long enough for the Homecoming to come to an end! During the first half of the game all the candidates and their escorts were becoming restless, as everyone passed along jokes and stories trying to make the time go faster. The Cougars were winning seven to nothing which helped put everyone in Cougar spirit . A few of the male escorts decided to put some excitement into the evening and started the wave. And as the band played they all got together and did a dance sitting down; the spirits were high, but the souls were nervous. Finally everyone was announced and the winner was about to be crowned. Fourth attendant was Tracey Hurst; third Suzanne Walton; second Julie Walton; and the first attendant was Linda Wells. The new 1986 Queen Gina Tate. The night ended with a dance which was sponsored by the senior board. Some people were just beginning to calm down while others chose to get rowd-up. All the candidates agreed that this event was going to be a memory they would never forget and that all the time and effort was well worth it. 1. 1986 Queen and her escort smile for the crowd: Cina Tate and Steve King. 2.

Why Can't This Night Go On Forever As the elegant couples proceeded through the doors of the Tumbleweed Restaurant on November 22,1986, their smiling faces were all aglow with anticipation of the fun filled evening ahead of them. After an abundant smorgasbord dinner consisting of juicy roast beef, tasty chicken, green beans, corn, pota- toes, and rolls, the vivacious couples hit the dance floor with great enthusiasm, and danced to the spine tingling beat of Solid Gold Sound. As the long awaited moment came closer to the announcement of King and Queen, people gathered to hear Mrs. Schaffer. By pleasant surprise the King and Queen for the Senior Dinner Dance of 1986 were Curt Messeriy and Carolyn Rouse. The attendants were Jimmy Ryan and Tracey Hurst taking first place, second attendants were David Horn and Dawn Craves while Chris Duncan and Julie Walton took third. Jonathon Trimble and Jolee Akin walked away with fourth atten- dants. Carolyn was excited but yet surprised; she had no idea she would be Queen. She later commented it was awkward dancing with Curt because they had only said Hi in the hall. Again not many words were spoken between these two as the song played, and they danced this long remembered dance. For this momentous occasion the girls chose to wear more fashionable attire than in the previous years. Al- though the most favored color was black, the gold and pastel colors added sparkle and flare to the joyful eve- ning. The eye-catching decorations for this event gave a festive feeling to the ballroom while black and silver balloons bobbed in the air from each table as streamers swayed from the ceiling. As the last song was played and couples held each other tight, many looked into each other's eyes and whispered: WHY CAN'T THIS NIGHT GO ON FOREV- ER! 1.

The Stands were full of spirit as no one took a seat while cheering on their Cougar team. Play- ing high ranked Fleming County Tigers, the cougars remained to keep their lead the entire game, leading to a final victory over the Tigers with a score of 79 to 63. As the fifteen candidates walked into the gym during halftime, you could feel the excitement all around them. The nervousness in the crowd and participants finally came to an end when Julie Walton, escorted by Bruce Crawford, was crowned Queen. The attendants were Tracey Hurst who was escorted by Scott Widener taking first, while second attendant Suzanne Walton was escorted by Andy Czirr. Cary Garnett accompa- nies Lauri Moore who was third attendant and Teresa Eagle was escorted by Harold Spoonamore and took fourth place. While talking with a few of the candidates and their escorts after the dance, Julie Walton commented, I really didn't think I was going to be Queen. Lauri Moore said, I was very nervous because there was a lot of people watching but I was very excited. Gary Gar- nett exclaims, It was a lot of fun, I was glad Lauri placed third, but I think there ought to be votes for a Home- coming King! It was a once in a lifetime honor, replied Teresa Eagle. Her escort Harold Spoonamore commented, I was very surprised that I was chosen to be an escort, I really enjoyed myself. Mickey Clore and Andy Czirr both agreed that the whole evening ran very smoothly and it was well organized. After the game the Homecoming dance was spon- sored by the Student Council with Solid Gold Sound providing the music. All the latest upbeat songs were played while squeezing in a few slow ones for that special moment. During the dance the students did not let their spirits down. Everyone made a very memora- ble night of it and many said it was one of the best dances ever held!

On this spectacular evening. May 9, 1987, a lot of couples became closer and new friends were made. This year the young ladies were not the only ones to look spiffy in their formal attire. Daring to be different, some of the young men chose to wear Hawaiian cumberbuns and ties or the Splashed tux shirts. Favored colors of dresses on this evening were obvi- ously various shades of pinks and blues. Yet the emer- ald green, purple, and white gowns added a touch of color to the glowing dance floor which was lit up with irradescent lights. Lasagna seemed to be the most popular dish for the couples, yet fried chicken and roast beef were also available for the main course. Side dishes consisted of salad, jello, an assortment of vegetables, and for the finishing touches a choice of either strawberry or choc- olate cake. Revealing his rapping talent on stage for a little extra entertainment was Jeff Meyer. Jivin' to his own beat, he put on a fascinating performance to a cheering student body. Decorations for the long tables gave a shimmery sparkle as the couples consumed their meals. These decorations sitting neatly in the center of each table, had feathers with treble clefs set in diamond cut trays and perfected the special night. The tension in the room built as Mrs. Miller ap- proached the microphone to announce the King, Queen, and their court. This year's King and Queen were Chris Duncan and Jolee Akin. Ben Huff and Regi- na Cottongim received 1st attendants, 2nd attendants were Rob Reuthe and Kristen Hughes, followed by Pat Sullivan and Rebecca Smith for 3rd attendants. Brian Carpenter and Kim Ryan took 4th attendants, and 5th attendants were Tim Delph and Amy Miracle. 1. Overview of the 1986-1987 Junior Senior Prom. 2.

Awards Night 125 New Beginnings Graduation, for several years, seemed like a dream that would never arrive. Many mixed emotions are brought out on this day; some students are glad to see their high school days come to an end yet will miss the security and friendly faces. The largest graduating class of Conner, the class of 1987, slowly began their march into the silenced gym on May 27,1987, to end their twelve years of hard work and to begin their new experiences waiting ahead of them. The direction in which all these young people will go in their lives will be very divergent. Some students will go to college to pursue a study which will lead them to their chosen field of work, while others already have a job lined up. A few will go into the Armed Forces; some will get married. Still yet there are others who are undecided. On this honored occasion, the guest speaker. Judge Executive Bruce Ferguson, gave his sincere advice and best wishes to the class. This anxiously awaited day had finally become a reality as the 270 students walked the never-ending-aisle, or so it seemed, to receive their hard earned diploma. Following this. Superintendant, Mr. Larry Ryle, pronounced and congratulated the Class of 1987. The proud seniors then reached ner- vously for their dangling tassels shifting them from left to right. After the ceremonies, hugs, kisses, and sighs of relief could be seen and heard everywhere. Most seniors are now torn between looking back on the good memories and looking forward to the new experiences as they remember the good times and set aside the bad. This ending commences the Key to a New Beginning. 1. Kristi Gouge gladly receives her diploma. 2. James Freeman gets help with his hat. 3. Singing the Senior Alma Mater are Alisa Mokas, Jennifer Poole, and Dawn Price. 4. Shannon Bay is relieved that her diploma is final- ly in her hands. 5.

A good faculty staff is needed in order for a school to run smoothly, and that is why the faculty at Conner is greatly ap- preciated. They help in keep- ing it in good condition and by passing on a much needed education. Teachers contribute to the lives of every student they have seated in their classroom, the attitude of the teacher reflects upon how the student handles certain situations. The student's outlook on life is also inspired by the teacher. If the teacher is liked by a stu- dent, the student will begin to imitate the teacher's actions. New teachers added to the faculty this year were: Mr. H. King, Mr. R. Estes, Mr. M. He- drick, Mr. M. Bowling, Mr. T. Stellman, and Mrs. M. Griesser who was replaced in January by Mrs. J. Huey. Also, joining the staff is Miss J. Wray, a student teacher for the Math Department. The Key to Knowledge Be- gins With Teaching. Miss Edwards and Mrs. Robinson discuss their lesson plans during a planning period. Caught in the act of enjoying a snack, Mr. Hogan is taken by surprise. Mr. Massey and Mr. Bornhorst try to keep an unexpected water break under control while Mrs. Santos looks on. Enjoying their lunch are Mr. Hogan, Mrs. Litton, Mr. Massey, Mrs. Leisl, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Beineke. 130 Faculty Divider BEGINS WITH TEACHING At The Top I like to provide a friendly atmosphere for students , com- mented Mr. Hogan, Principal of Conner Senior High School, who has been in- volved with the Boone Co. School System for thirty years. Mr. Hogan attend- ed Wittenberg Uni- versity, University of Kentucky, Miami University, and Xavi- er University. Lean- ing towards a major in School Adminis- tration, he achieved his Bachelor's De- gree, along with his Master's of Education. With the thought that the student body at Conner is friendly, helpful, and eager to learn, Mr. Hogan has devel- oped a strong desire to work with stu- dents. This desire has reinforced one of Mr. Hogan's pri- mary goals: to help students attain their potential. Outside of his job, Mr. Hogan likes to play sports, especial- ly basketball and softball. He also likes to watch his favorite teams on television.

University, and Mrs. Cathy Schafer, graduate of Morehead State University, utilize their college education by teaching the young people at CHS. 134 Faculty Howard King Math Joseph Clark Science John Martin Science James Stone Math Robert Crouch Science Oelma Santos Science Sandra Woods Math Linda Litton Science John Akin Social Studies Successful Alumni Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Schafer have two things in com- mon. Both are grad- uates for Conner, and both are current members of the fac- ulty staff. After graduating, Mr. Taylor went to Eastern Kentucky University and then on to teach at Estille Co. High School. Now back at Conner, Mr. Taylor teaches World Civilization and U.S. History. Meanwhile, Mrs. Schafer has taken on the new title of Stu- dent Worker. This job is aimed at help- ing students at CHS who have chronic absentees and those who have problems with excessive de- tentions. Mrs. Schafer counsels these students in or- der to improve their attendance and their work. In the future, both Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Schafer wish to con- tinue here because the two teachers consider Conner a great school and have enjoyed all their years at this school tremen- dously. Faculty 135 New Additions Conner Senior High School wel- comed six new teachers to the fac- ulty staff. Mrs. Griesser from Boone County High School, now teaches Psychology and World History to the students at Conner. Mr. Estes, from a school in Spotsyl- vania, Virginia is very happy with his move. He enjoys teaching the Horti- culture and Agricul- ture classes because he says the students really seem to be interested. Mr. King is a spe- cial addition to the Math department and takes things in stride by saying each day is better than the one before. We also have Mr. Stellman, History; Mr. Bowling, Drivers Education; and Mr. Hedrick, English. All of the new members are greatly appreciated by both the students and faculty.

Mrs. Penny Smith tries to help Karmen Shell choose a school that would suit her needs in the future. 138 Faculty Sylvia Smith Home Economics Wayne Badida Physical Education Nancy Leisl Choral Music Mack Bowling Driver Education Chester Long Industrial Arts Bill Warfield Physical Education Wendell Hull Band Versatile Counselor Never having a monotonous day, Mrs. Penny Smith considers her job very exciting and out of the ordinary. With five years ex- perience as a Guid- ance Counselor at Conner, she claims there is never a dull moment as students come to her daily with problems. The students at Conner really seem to impress Mrs. Smith by being quite serious but still hav- ing a ton of school spirit. She says they seem to be more concerned about the classes they are taking this year. Mrs. Smith achieved her Bache- lor's and Master's Degree at the Uni- versity of Kentucky and her Rank One at Eastern Kentucky University. Later on, Mrs. Smith plans to work on getting her Doctorate in Counseling. Even though she has a busy job, Mrs. Smith still finds time to do the activities she enjoys. One of which (her all time favorite) is spending time with her family and working her show horses.

J'aime Paris (I love Paris), exclaimed Ms. Dixon as this picture was taken with the Eiffel Tower in the background. Mr. Bornhorst tells of his adventures in Quebec, Canada to an amused Mrs. Bryant. Summer Of '86 After the bell rings and the teachers lock their classroom doors, they all look forward to the SUM- MER OF 1986. Some teachers really broadened their horizons by go- ing out of their way to have a good time. Mr. Bornhorst and his wife packed their bags and went to Quebec, Canada, while Mrs. Hudson put her Spanish speaking talent to use in Mexico. After winning in Las Vegas, Mrs. Nall and her husband decided to travel to the Grand Canyon. Other teachers made plans which changed their lives. For example. Miss Horton, who would become Mrs. Lara, made many plans for her future wedding in November. More went on to further their educa- tion: Mrs. Beineke, Mrs. Miller, and Mr. Taylor worked on their graduate studies while Mr. Crouch attended an NEA convention. For every teacher the SUMMER OF 1986 was something they v ill never forget. Faculty 141 THE KEY TO INVOLVEMENT Kim Holtkamp plays a Uine while Shelly Keith sings along.

One day of every month the club sponsor conducts a meeting to plan var- ious upcoming activities which consist of workshops, fun- draisers, camps, fieldtrips, com- petitions, dances, and many more exciting times. Each club also sponsors a candidate for both Football and Basketball Homecoming. Two of the clubs, Women and Men of Conner, partici- pate in a food drive before Thanksgiving to help out the poor and needy while Student Council and the Senior Board hold the Homecoming dances to earn extra money for their clubs. For Halloween, the Na- tional Honor Society carved and painted pumpkins to take to Woodspoint Nursing Home, and over the holidays FBLA gathered at Winterfest. The Language Club attended the In- ternational Banquet, the Calcu- lus Club visited the New En- gland States over Spring Break '87, the Science Club sold ka- zoos for Cougar spirit and the Christmas Concert sponsored by the bands and choirs are just to mention a few of the money making and fun ideas the club members conjure up to do.

The Women's Choir members sing joyously as they practice for the upcoming Christmas concert. Reaching For The Same Goals The Women's Choir is in its se- cond year. Our first year was a building year, commented Mrs. Leisl. This choir is very limited to its size because of the number of concert dresses they have to perform in. Consisting of only 23 members, who went through an audition in early March, a majority of the girls are ju- niors. Over the holidays they performed at Chuck E. Cheese and also in the Christmas concert held at Conner in December. Applying for music scholarships now and looking forward to making music their career, some members are thinking about their future. Te- resa Eagle, who competed at North- ern Kentucky University in a solo contest, made the All-State Choir, which consists of only 300 people selected from areas all over Ken- tucky. This group will have practices in Louisville and have one large per- formance to display their musical tal- ent. Mrs. Leisl has instructed the CHS choirs for three years, and she ad- mits that this is the first year she's had everything like she'd like it to be. She also comments, Every year I've been impressed with all of the choirs, but this year I'm really im- pressed. All of the members seem to be more disciplined and coopera- tive, and most importantly we all seem to be reaching for the same goals! WOMEN'S CHOIR Front Row: Shelly Keith, Kim Jackson.

Adding Spice To Life Having the majority of the squad as newcomers, the 1986-1987 Flag and Rifle Squad has definitely made a sparkling impression! With a really jazzy show routine to knock your socks off and to spice up the show, they have added a dance with lively various colorful costumes, an essential asset to the routine. To top it all off, the rifles bring the show to a close with a dazzling perfor- mance that is sure not to be forgot- ten. This show, however, could not have been possible without numer- ous practices and hard work. The girls practice two to three times a week, and every night for competi- tions not to mention every Friday night spent on half-time perfor- mances plus every Saturday on long bus rides to competitions. All this ef- fort was not put to waste. The com- petition at Scott Co. awarded them the Best Color Guard Trophy while the Best General Effect trophy was won at Tates Creek. Needless to say the feeling of pride and accomplish- ment is felt when the loud applause is heard. In response to the question what do the girls gain from the squad, Captain Jessica Williamson answers, Being a member teaches the girls coordination, rhythm, discipline, gives them a chance at leadership, and helps them to learn to follow directions. With all the newness and experi- ence behind them, the group is looking forward to being a bigger and better squad next season.

As sponsors, Mr. Crouch and Ms. Litton have helped the club to have an eventful year. For Valentine's Day, the Science Club brought cards and candy to the Florence Park Nursing Home. Other planned activities included a nice dinner at the Quality Inn in Coving- ton and visiting a children's orphan- age. In the spring, a picnic outing was held. As a fundraiser, the club created an original idea; they sold kazoos which were a big hit! And for fifty cents a piece, the kazoos went ex- tremely fast. One hundred were sold and the Science Club more than doubled its profits. The money raised, along with the club dues of two dollars, contributed to the bus and other miscellaneous expenses needed for their many field trips. Once a month the club meets to exchange scientific information that they have gained. During the meet- ings members apply for scholarships which pertain to their future inter- ests in the fields of medicine, educa- tion, or experimental research. The 1986-87 officers of the club consist of the following: President — Jessica Williamson; Vice-President — Sara Norman; Secretary — An- nette Strange; and Treasurer — Me- lissa Tomlinson. As an educational yet rewarding club, Annette Strange correctly ex- presses that ... Today Science brings us tomorrow's future. 148 Clubs 1. Three members of NHS, K. Wilson, C. Murphy, and D.

Clubs 149 Just One Of The Three Quality and not quantity is a phrase that precisely describes the Latin Club. Having just under twen- ty members, the Latin Club has con- tributed to their share of fundraising and has participated in a variety of activities. Meeting once a month, the Latin Club plans their special activities for the month and also looks forward to up coming events for the duration of the year. Several of the activities are combined with the Foreign Lan- guage Club. Along with the Spanish and French clubs, the Latin Club sells the candy, Jolly Ranchers, to earn money. In addition, the three lan- guage clubs have an International Banquet. The dinner consists of meats, vegetables, breads, and des- serts of which the originality is of the languages taught. On its own, the Latin Club has par- ticipated in the following events. Sharing their Christmas cheer, they visited Woodspoint Nursing Home during the holidays. They also took a field trip to LaRosa's Inn in Cincin- nati, and in the spring they enjoyed a language picnic at Big Bone State Park. As a language, Latin can be used in several fields such as medicine and music. Plus it aids in the understand- ing of many other foreign lan- guages. This is the response of Mrs. Gardener when questioned how be- ing a member of the Latin Club per- tained to the member's future plans.

Helpful Hands Being an office aide will confront and prepare me with certain situa- tions that can help me out in the future, in an office job. says Shan- non Hagen, an aide of Mr. Mas- sey's. Office aides are students that ded- icate their time to doing odd jobs for the secretaries, in the main office, the two assistant principals, and the guidance counselors. Their hour of help consists of copying papers, fil- ing, answering phones, delivering messages, and other miscellaneous office duties, such as stamping enve- lopes, taking down schedule changes, folding and stapling papers, etc. One of Mr. Bornhorst's aides is Tracey Hurst; her time is spent col- lecting absentees for the period and filing notes. The most boring thing about being an aide is when there is nothing to be done. commented Tracey. A major task as an aide in the main office is zeroxing papers, and this can get quite tiresome when waiting for 300 or more papers to finish running — agreed Debbie Schlarman and Dawn Tomlin. Office aides are a group of hard working business students that are there to lend a helping hand. When Mr. Bornhorst was asked how much of a help his aides were, he replied, Without them I would literally be worn to a frazel just from running up and down the halls. Office aides are especially needed and greatly appre- ciated! 1. Roger Rhodus looks to renew a student's library book. 2. Making copies for the Office is Krista Donley. 3.

Hands On Experience Does Auto Mechanics, Industrial Electricity, Welding, and even Health Services interest you? You're in luck! They can be found right next door at the Boone County Vocation- al School. During one's high school years, students begin to prepare and think of their future goals. However, while many students find that going to col- lege best suits them, others pursue their careers in vocational studies. Among the 240 students at the Vocational School, 72 are from Con- ner. The others come from the three high schools in Boone County: Wal- ton-Verona, Grant, and Boone County. Juniors and Seniors obtain three credits for one year by attend- ing three hour classes and work- shops every day while the other three hours are spent at their high school for regular classes. Students that excel in their classes and shops have the opportunity to receive scholarships and rewards. Experience, co-op, the ability to work with your hands, opportunities for the future, and the use of skills in a variety of traits are advantageous aspects of the Vocational School.

The Chosen Few Student Council is a club com- posed of ten students from each class who have been selected to tackle the complaints and demands of our school. Early in the school year, numerous students filled out applications. From these applicants, the entire student body elected the chosen thirty. Certain tasks in which the mem- bers encounter include complaints and suggestions from the student body. The Student Council then puts these opinions into perspec- tive. Such incidents this year consist of the termination of the A and B average on the quarter honor rolls and the concept of smoking on school grounds. For fundraisers, the Student Council sold candy canes at Christ- mas time and also sponsored the Basketball Homecoming Dance. The money raised contributed to the Charles Kelly Scholarship which is available for seniors. As an annual activity, the Student Council sponsored and participated in a student exchange day with other schools in the Northern Kentucky area. Exchange Day consists of visit- ing others schools and sitting in on their classes. Student Council, commented Lauri Moore, is a way to get in- volved within our school and other schools. With Tyler Kelly as President, Jon- athan Trimble as Vice President and Cina Tate and Secretary the '86-'87 Student Council officers are com- plete. ,58 Clubs 1.

To be a member, it is a requirement to have at least one business course. There are ap- proximately 75 members in the club and they are sponsored by Mrs. Lara and Mrs. Sorrell. Selling Christmas ornaments, M M candies, and programs for the dis- trict basketball tournaments were just a few of their fund raisers ac- complished. The members also toured Litton Industries and Rockwell Internation- al to acquire a sense of what really goes on in a business operation. Each year the FBLA sends repre- sentatives to regional and state com- petitions. When regionals were held at Northern Kentucky University, Rebecca Smith won in Public Speak- ing and Lisa Lawson won in Job De- scription Manual. Both girls later went to represent Conner's FBLA at the state convention which was held in Louisville, Ky. Out of 1200 contes- tants, Rebecca placed second in her division and Lisa was awarded third in her category. Cina Tate was elect- ed to represent the fourth region at the state meeting. Once again, the Conner FBLA members had an interesting and suc- cessful year. Clubs 161 The Bold And Outspoken Bold and outspoken are two words that describe the members of the Speech Drama Club. Spon- sored by Joe Loechle, the 18 club members meet on a regular basis each month to practice for competi- tion, discuss material, exchange ideas and suggest improvements. Personal interests in speech and drama are what motivated most members to join. For example, Tina Sullivan and Crystal Litz plan on pur- suing careers in drama. Tina has played a role in the drama The Ele- phanr'Man working with talented students and alumni of Thomas Moore College. Tina commented, It was really a lot of fun working with stage make-up, but the very best part was the lively cast parties. The Speech Drama Club partici- pated in several competitions and contests. Three members won awards from the VFW Speech Writ- ing Competition: Diana Stewart, Lisa Rouse, and Dawn Blackburn. Diana Stewart also participated in the Re- gional Speech Competition, enter- ing the Lincoln and Douglas Debate for the second year in a row where each time she qualified for State Competition. Recently, Diana par- ticipated in the Voice of Democracy contest where her effort payed off for she was selected the local school winner and awarded first place as district winner. So far, the future looks good for the Speech Drama Club for 1987- 1988 as fifteen members will return as juniors and seniors. 1.

Taking a break from cropping pictures is Jim Lucas. Polishing her sports copy is Amy Reeves. Seniors surround the new wing which was completed during the 1986-87 school year. The advertisements that the business community purchases are the backbone for the Year- book. The money from the adver- tisements help finance the Yearbook. The businesses also get the opportunity of their ad- vertisement being seen by ev- eryone who views the Year- book. The support that the busi- nesses give is highly appreciat- ed and proudly shown by the advertisement section of the Yearbook. The business is taken into thought when the section is put together. Stephanie Rid- er, editor of the ad section said, When I start the section I try to satisfy both the business and the quality of the Yearbook. To give the section a little more character, various types of copy and pictures are added to cap- ture the reader's attention. 164 Advertising Divider Musical Salute Tests, quizzes, and notes were forgotten on November 19, 1986. In- stead, excitement filled the air as the student body of Conner Senior High crowded into the gym, and were able to hear the sounds of the Dayton Air Force Band as they tuned their instruments. When everyone was seated, the musical ensemble began to play a few instrumentals such as: Fire Shaker and In The Mood . That however, was only the beginning. Cheryll Garneau, who did vocals, helped to get the students rocking and rolling as she sang Heart Of Rock and Roll , Old Time Rock and Roll , Venus and On the Dark Side . Towards the end of the program, while the students were calming down, the musicians played God Bless The U.S.A. as a tribute to our country. The pupils really enjoyed the group and hope to hear other bands in the future. Students show their enthusiasm while listening to the extraordinary Air Force Band. New Address: P.O.

That is why best friends are very special people to everyone. Dona Arras- mith says her best friend, Tina Woodruff, is great, and they have had a lot of terrific times over the years. Although they have had their share of ups and downs, just like other friends would have done, they have always worked things out for the best. Stephanie Rider's best friend lives in Eden Praire, Minnesota, and even though the distance may seem long they keep in touch by letters and phone calls. Proof that friends can last forever is shown by David Kennedy and Bobby Fields who have been friends since the sixth grade, and their friendship like others has grown stronger with each new year. Christine Osmond and Crystal Litz are always there for each other; whenever there is a problem their understanding of one another always comes through for them.

It had to be the Conner Alumni Game where former Conner basketball stars assembled together in a game of rivalry against our own varsity team. Although the Alumni scored the first point, the Cougars quickly took control of the game, refusing to allow the former team any chance to gain the lead. When half-time rolled around, the Cougars had a 13 point lead over the Alumni with a score of 33-46, and with the use of their awesome playing abilities, the Cougars left the Alumni trailing behind with a final, victorious score of 88-92. The crowd consisted of a large number of supporters who were evenly divided in rooting for their team. However, with the Conner Cougars winning this years '87 game, the spectators were heard exclaiming, I can't wait 'til next year to see if the Alumni can win back their 'title'! Mr. Taylor and other vivacious alumni try to block Chris Duncan from scoring two points. J M IMPLEMENT 1723 Burlington Pk.

This new addition will have the capacity to hold three hundred more students and will make Conner equal to Boone County High School in size. This new wing will have thirteen rooms including a Vo-Ag room, two science rooms, a computer room, plus an elevator which will be installed to make it easier for the handicapped students to go to the second floor. A much needed guidance suite will also be added in the new part of the building. Mr. Hogan says that Conner needs this new addition desperate- ly. We do not even have enough rooms for the study hall people, they stay in the cafeteria, he explains. This construction will cost approximately $800,000.00 and is expected to be completed in the fall for the 87-88 school year. Necessary machinery invades Conner Senior while building the new edition.

A few of her exciting hobbies are traveling to the New England states to see her grandparents and going to the beach. Kristen says, I love it up there; it is so beautiful! At school she tries to maintain a B average, and even though geome- try is her most difficult class, she says, Mr. Beil is a riot, and he makes it a lot of fun! After high school, Kristen wants to attend a good college and some day become a successful psychologist. Who knows, maybe she can figure out why she fell in the middle of the gym during her freshmen year. That was my most embarrassing moment replied Kristen.

Just one reason: to play their hearts out at a Kentucky Musical Education Association Band Competi- tion. After buses arrived at Conner, students stumbled into seats with blan- kets and pillows, and began to drift into a deep sleep. Finally, when the buses pulled into Lexington, band members awoke and began to scurry around, preparing to play for the last time in 1986. When the end of the competition rolled around, their hopes were destroyed. The Marching Cougars lost the semi-finals and would not go on to the finals, in this competition. However the band members climbed on the buses with their heads held high and headed back to Conner knowing they could try again next year. Tyler Kelly and Rusty Pennington show how Mr. Hull really treats the band members. BURDINE ANDERSON Quality Cnc Turning 586-8113 F.O. Box 125 Limaburg Rd.

Cathleen Stogsdill enjoyed an unusual vacation in the out back of Australia with her aunt and uncle, while Charles Roland soaked up the rays of Daytona Beach, Florida. Paula Lovett traveled to Panama City, Florida to visit a special friend. Tom Baker took in the excitement of Las Vegas, Nevada, as Dawn Garner visited Phoenix, Arizona. To Julie Wal- ton, Europe was a great cultural experience. As their vacations came to a close, the students were excited about getting back to school to tell all their friends about their fabulous Spring Break 1987!

Numerous events took place during this time with sudden shocks coming to the young and old alike. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in a clear bue-sky a little more than a minute after lift off from Cape Kennedy. On board was the woman who was the first ordinary American citizen and space teacher, Christa McAliff. Also during the year, there was a nuclear explosion in Cherenbyl, Russia, where many people were killed or hospitalized because of serious radiation. On the other hand, one of the more festive events taking place was the Statue of Liberty's 100th birthday, lifting up the spirits of many Americans with a spectacular 4 day celebration in the New York Harbor. Hands across America was an exciting event which took place in Sep- tember and was designed to raise money for the hungry and homeless in (Continued on page 186) Karmen Shell and Cindy Murphy look interested in what they are reading.

Thousands of people gathered together and sang the theme song while holding hands. The project not only raised money but it also raised the awareness of millions of people. Another fund raiser was the comedy relief which was created to help the poverty stricken all over the world. Some of the comedians involved were Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldburg, and Billy Crystal. Several other special events took place in the past year also. For exam- ple, a royal wedding occured when Prince Andrew married Lady Sarah Ferguson in London, England. Later in the year Clint Eastwood became mayor of a small town with the name of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California.

There are an outstanding number of successful students at Conner, and the 1987 Governor's Scholars are just a few. Dawn Blackburn, Monica Heuser, Paula Lovett, Kelly Young, Christa Scott, Andrea Utz, and Kathy Hugle are all recipients of this fine honor. Ad- ditional awards were received by Tim Johnson, David Horn, Larry Barnes, and Jim Staubach who placed first in a Vocational School contest. Lori Wege, Lara Robinson, Sherri Cassidy, Montie Manning, Shawn Masters and Wendy Ryle represented Conner at the KY. United Nations As- sembly. Also in Louisville, Ky., two FBLA members from Conner placed 2nd and 3rd in a state competition. They were Rebecca Smith and Lisa Lawson, respectively. Traveling all the way to sunny Florida for a contest, our band received best parade performance and colorguard. In addition to this award. Band members Serena Moore, Kevin Bonar, Gina Stewart, Kristy Woods, Claire May, Dani Kruegar, Michelle Hicks, Sam Claypool, and Julie Stewart all quali- fied for the Northern Ky. Select Band. Finally and sadly, Mrs. Gladys Dixon, Librarian, and Mr. Eual Collins, Social Studies teacher, will be retiring from Conner. As one can see the 1986-1987 school year was filled with many achievements that are all The KEY To Tomorrow. 196 Closing The 1986-1987 Archives Year- book Staff had a successful year.
