Foreword We, the yearbook staff, decided to try something a little different this year. We used the album cover from the “Eagles Greatest Hits” and devel- oped our theme from it because the yearbook really is a “record” of the year’s students and their activities. Almost everything in this book was a hit” with at least part of the student body during the 1980-81 school year. We hope that with this book, you can play all those great moments or hits over again.

Twenty-one journalism students were entered in the Kan- sas Scholastic Press Association regional journalism con- test at Hays on February 12. Two girls placed in layout- double page spread. Robin Buckbee took first and Bren- da Dickey got second which enabled them to attend the state contest on March 28 at Lawrence. The staff, behind the leadership of Editor Phillip Robl, showed a good ability to come up with many original ideas of their own. In fact, the entire theme idea, Eagles Greatest Hits , was figured out while adviser, Mr. Tony Furse, was away coaching a junior high football game. 1.

Journalism The newspaper staff had the print for the paper set this year at the Leader office instead of doing it themselves on the type- writers. This made for a better looking school newspaper. Under editors Julie Parish, Theresa Peintner, and Lorri DeWerff, the staff made big improvements in the areas of feature writing and editorial writing. Members of the staff were Curtis Arbuckle, Nancee Dannebohm, LeAnne Detmer, Jean Feist, Jolene Gatton, Susan Grant, Kevin Hickel, JoEllen Klep- per, Zane Kramp, Debbie Malone, Machelle O’Neal, Cheryl Whittaker, and Ruth Worman. The library science students helped out in the library during different hours. Some of the duties they performed were pro- cessing books to be put on shelves, checking for overdues, making catalog file cards, checking out books, and putting books on shelves. The first hour also did mail and circulation. The students in Library Science were Tracy Collins, LeAnne Detmer, Brenda Dickey, Jolene Gatton, Darlene Hewitt, Molly Isern, Pam Jackson, Debbie Malone, Julie Oglesbee, Julie Par- ish, Sonya Seitz, and Tami Stremel. 1.

EHS English teachers use various approaches The three English teachers use several different tech- niques in their classes. Mr. Mike Westerman, Basic Eng- lish and English I teacher, uses home-made films, which past classes filmed, to illustrate scenes from The Odys- sey in Greek Mythology. During a 5-6 week period, Mr. Tony Furse teaches his English II students some basic knowledge and ideas about newspapers. They use daily copies of The Wichita Eagle and weekly copies of The Ellinwood Leader to teach some of these ideas. Mrs. Nancy Converse uses tapes, records, filmstrips, movies, video tapes, paintings, and photographs to aid in teach- ing her English III and IV classes. Various students from all sections of English attended plays at St. Mary's of the Plains, Sterling, and Mary- mount Colleges throughout the year. 1.

Mrs. Vickie Schroeder, German and Latin teacher, said that the study of foreign language is something she be- lieves in strongly and feels is very valuable to the students. Mr. Wilbur Hogg, speech and drama instruc- tor, commented on his classes, We strive to develop that one human faculty that outclasses all the rest: intelligent communication. Mrs. Schroeder's German students use carrels and headsets to listen and respond to German tapes in semi-privacy. The students went to the Oktoberfest in Wichita October 11. On March 13, the classes also went to the Kansas Wesleyan Humanities Festival in Salina. The Latin students enjoyed seeing books and slides from Mrs. Schroeder's long ago trip to Italy. This was a way of making the Romans and their history come to life. Dale Hogg, Bob Boden, and Mark Schrepel made up the debate team for this year. They competed in only two tournaments since they were the only debaters. The students in Advanced Speech attended seven tournaments. At state, Dale Hogg received a I in Poet- ry Interpretation, Darrell Seitz a II in Informative Speech, and Dale Hogg and Bob Boden a III in Duet Acting. Cathy Jahay and Brenda Schartz also qualified for state but were unable to go. Sonya and Darrell Seitz placed second at league in Duet Acting. Mr. Hogg's Spanish class studied out of a new text which involved more reading and writing and not as much oral work as in past years. Social science studies Reagan, economy Mr. Larry Drees's American Government class brought the 1980 elections to the high school. They followed the Presidential election process from beginning to end. Prior to the election of President Ronald Reagan, the class studied the candidates of the various parties, examined the procedures of the election, and finally voted Nov. 4. The class went along with the rest of the nation that day, voting Reagan in by a large majority. Mr. Richard Harrington is the instructor for American History, Geography, and Constitution. He teaches mostly through lecture, but also uses films. The Economics class also learned social science by playing the K-State computer science stock market game. The students of Mr. Larry Vogt divided up into teams of about four, studied the stock market by reading quotations from the Wall Street Journal, and then decided whether to buy or sell stock. 1.

The General Business classes, under the instruction of Mr. Larry Vogt, took field trips to see different businesses. They went to Rocky's IGA to check prices of different brands of products in order to compare them. They also toured the People's State Bank here in Ellinwood and the new Dillon's store in Great Bend to view their operation and equipment.

Using two computers, the students write and run programs in the Basic computer language. On March 27 the computer science class went to Kansas Universi- ty in Lawrence to see the larger computers there. Mr. Bob Robins took his Advanced Biology students to Hays to attend a college class and listen to an instructor lecture about area plants. They also viewed the Fort Hays X-Ray program. The class also made several local trips to fields, ponds, and rivers to identify plants. v Both Physics and Chemistry are laboratory classes taught by Mr. Leon Sobba.

Stremel, Sobba ‘team-teach’ general math This year the general math class was team-taught by Mr. Leon Sobba and Mr. Roger Stremel. In addition to their joint effort, each taught individual courses. Mr. Stremel taught classes in Geometry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math, while Mr. Sobba instructed two beginning algebra courses. During the year, the school board gave the math depart- ment an expected boost in enrollment within the next few years. They decided that in order to graduate, a student will be required to have two credits of math instead of just one as it has been. 4 Elisabeth Biays gets assistance from Mr. Roger Stremel on an Algebra problem.

Industrial arts classes learn through field trips All of the teachers of the Industrial Arts classes took some of their students on field trips this year. One of the trips was a combination of two groups. The young farmers of Mr. Howard Wallace and the General Metals class of Mr. Lyle Sanborn toured several busin- esses on March 3. The places they visited were Locke Stove in Lyons; Ark Manufacturing in Sterling; and Grain Spoiling, Americo Manufacturing, and Collins Industry in Hutchinson. Mr. Wallace s Vo-Ag classes also visited the Great Bend Sale Barn to watch a livestock sale. Mr. Fred Gunn took his woodworking classes to the Western Kansas Industrial Arts Fair in Hays April 24-25. The students entered projects in the fair and viewed them on display along with other high school students' projects. All these industrial arts field trips were taken to complement the usual classroom study and shop work in the department. A new class, Advanced Woodworking, under the in- struction of Mr. Gunn, was a change in the depart- ment. All the advanced students had woodworking during the same hour, whereas in past years, they could take it any hour during the day. 4 1.

The family living class also had a guest speaker. A florist from Larry’s Garden Center in Great Bend gave a talk and demonstration on ways to use flowers and plants in wed- dings. The class also visited Gunn's Bridal Shop where they looked at and tried on wedding dresses. On April 8, all the home-ec students attended the Barton County Home Economics Day held at the Barton County Community College. Home Economics Day consisted of several different kinds of workshops with contests and judging following the workshops. Four students brought back medals. Theresa Peintner won third in macrame and third in tatting. Fiancee Dannebohm received first in Flan- ellgraph story telling, Patty Peintner got second in model- ing and third in clothing construction, and Cathy Petz won third in modeling. 1.

Driver’s Ed. “A thrill “We Driver’s Ed teachers don't have to go to Worlds of Fun to get a thrill ride. We get our thrill ride every day riding with the students. These were the comments of Mr. George Whitmer, Driver's Ed instructor, who teaches this class along with Mr. Lyle Sanborn. This year Mr. Sanborn is teaching Driver's Ed for the first time in several years. Driver's Ed is set up as a semester course where on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays 5 or 6 students drive while the rest of the group attends Mr. Wilbur Hogg's freshman speech class. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the class meets for lectures and films on driving. Field trips also were an important part of the class, according to Mr. Whitmer. He said that his students took the highways, blacktops, and sand and dirt roads to such exotic places as Chase, Raymond, Sylvia, Great Bend, Chaflin, and downtown Ellinwood. He said these field trips were made in two automobiles equipped with dual brakes, dual mirrors, and Driver Education signs on top. The signs served as a warning to other drivers. Mr. George Whitmer looks tense as he prepares himself for another day on the road. The Driver's Ed. class relaxes while Mr. Whitmer prepares a film promoting good driving habits. Driver's Ed. Students practice backing up in an alley before trying it on the streets. Mr. Lyle Sanborn and Brian Nordstedt inspect the exterior of the car before taking another trip. PE students learn CPF Freshman P.E. and Health is a required course where the girls and boys are separated, each having two days of health and three days of suiting up in gym clothes to participate in physical activities. In the health department, the freshmen classes learned C.P.R. through demonstrations given by Alfred Pohlman, Ron McCrary, Melvin Ringering, and Ruth Corbett. After observing the process, the students practiced their life- saving techniques on dummies. The students were taught other first aid techniques by instructors Miss Ka- ren Snay and Mr. StGve Buek. Miss Snay’s Advanced P.E. girls engaged in many differ- ent types of activities this year. Basketball, shuffleboard, weight lifting, bowling, swimming, and jumping on the trampoline were some of them. They also took the Presi- dent’s Physical Fitness Test and studied out of a new health book, Fitness for Life. Rod Harrington, in Advanced P.E., lifts weights to build up his muscular body. Following the instructions of Melvin Ringering, Doug Carpenter uses CPR on the dummy. Girls freshman P.E., under order of P.E. assis- tant Molly Isern, line up to do their calisthenics. Freshman health class reads a chapter on the techniques of first aid before taking part in the actual process. School presents “Cinderella” as musical On November 24th and 25th, the Ellin- wood High School music and drama de- partment combined to present the musi- cal “Cinderella . The Rodgers and Hammerstein classic takes place in the 12th century, depict- ing the life of a poor kitchen maid whose wishes come true as she weds the prince. Musical direction was in the hands of Vern Fryberger, while the costumes, staging, and technical aspects were han- dled by Wilbur Hogg and Leon Sobba.

They were responsible for the light- ing and sound for many of the high school’s productions, including the musical, concerts and special pro- grams. Mr. Sobba said he felt that stage crew is “one of the most responsible groups in high school. These kids take on a lot of responsibility with little or no recognition at the time. 1. 2. 3. 4 5.

The group takes a tour to area schools each year. On tour they perform modern popular songs, some which may include choreog- raphy. The 1981 tour was two days long and included four schools. This year's chorus included 51 members under the direction of Vern Fryberger. They presented 3 concerts (fall, Christmas, and winter), and also performed at this year's graduation ceremony. They participated at both league and state contests, which were held at BCCC and Dodge City, respectively. Mr. Fryberger felt that this year’s choir was very good, especial- ly in our balance and blend — better than in years past, especially considering the balance of male-to-female voices.” E.H.S. welcomes music theory class A new class was introduced this year. The new class was music theory, taught by Mr. Fryberger to 5 students. The students spend their year studying what goes into making music and how to analyze and compose. They spent part of the year studying jazz and had a brief section in music theater and popu- lar music. The class is for people who are interested in creating music and what goes into producing music. Whether it's popular, jazz, or classical, music theory can be applied to the student's interests. Music theory students Marie Catherine Mura. Bob Boden. and Mark Hulvey (left) listen to a lecture by Mr. Vern Fryberger (above right). In addition to his theory class.

Students see their work as “personal achievement” Working and going to high school is becoming more common among students at Ellinwood. Approximately fifty five per cent of the study body attend five and six hours a day of school, then work various hours in the evening and on weekends. Six Ellinwood high school students said the main reason they work is because they like to earn their own money and they don’t have to ask their parents for spending money, etc. By doing this they feel more independent. The six interviewed by The Eagle were Terry Collins, employed at Schwab's Tinker Shop; Michele Doll, employed at Banners; and Melanie Bieberle. Dinah Dahlke, Laura Hopkins, and Debbie Ketch, all employed at WoodHaven Nursing Home. Melanie and Debbie both want to continue their career in nursing. They feel by working now they are getting the experience they need to continue this career. Dinah Dahlke commented. Money is important, but because I care for elderly people and know that I'm doing something kind and helpful for them, there is a feeling of personal satisfaction involved. Michele Doll said. I love to work because then I'm not bored after school and I don't have to go home and clean house everyday. I like working because if a problem came up at home I could help out if needed. stated Laura Hopkins. 1. Employed at Rocky's IGA. Tim Vogt stocks shelves. 2.

Students Take Part In Various Fads As in the past, there were several fads and trends at Ellinwood High School during the 1980-81 school year. These fads ranged from what students wore to what they did during noon hour. A favorite noon hour pastime with many students was playing with frisbees on the school lawn. To most of the students, it seemed to be a much better activity than just sitting or driving around. Something that has been reserved for the female part of the student body in past years, permanents, has extended into the male portion as well in 1980. With several EHS men deciding to go curly, it was evident that permanents were a big trend for the year and probably for the future. The 1980-81 school year was also the year of the cowboy, or at least the year for his music and clothes, due largely to huge success of such movies as “Urban Cowboy and Honeysuckle Rose. Ellinwood students wore all types of cowboy hats, boots, and other Western wear. Country singers like Mickey Gil- ley, Johnny Lee, and Willie Nelson gained a lot of attention from students who had never even thought they liked country music before. It was easy to see and hear that EHS was doing its part in making Western wear and music one of the biggest fads in the country. The one fad that could not be found anywhere except at EHS was the “Bleacher Bums.” The Bleacher Bums were made up a small group of students who were not out for basketball but were as enthused as anyone about the team. They were at almost every game yelling their own original cheers, sometimes drowning out the cheerleaders and becoming cheer- leaders themselves. They were easy to identify be- cause they printed and wore Bleacher Bums T- shirts, which set them apart from other potential bums. They were a small but quite outspoken group. Going to rock concerts has always been a popular activity but it seemed this year that many students had rock concert fever. A big selling item at these concerts is jerseys with the particular concert star’s picture or logo printed on them. These and other rock star jerseys were a big part of many students’ apparel. While walking down the halls of EHS, you are likely to see pictures or logos of such groups and stars as Kenny Rogers, Van Halen, Head East, Fleetwood Mac, Cars, and Cheap Trick plastered on the shirts of a lot of students. This made it easy to see what kinds of music were popular with Ellinwood students. Another fad was the ribbons that many girls wore around their collars. These ribbons were worn around the neck and tied in a bow. Now when you look back on 1980 and 1981, one of these fads will most likely stick out in your mind. ©Whether you think of cowboy hats or Bleacher Bums,” these trends made the year distinctive from all others. 1.

Students gather in the main hall to discuss their plans for the day and the coming weekend, gos- sip, and copy assignments from friends not done the night before. Classes begin at 8:15 and until 10:10 a typical student will sit in class scheming on how he can get to the front of the donut line when break begins. After the battle for the donuts has ended, students once again gather in groups to discuss plans for lunch, continue copying unfinished assignments, or step outside to enjoy a cigarette before classes begin again at 10:25. Once back in class students settle down until 12:00. Then stomachs rumble and students grumble while begging teachers to let them out one minute early. This guarantees them a spot in the front of the lunch line, or a quick getaway in their cars. After famished bodies have been satisfied, students can begin to enjoy their lunch hour. Most race around town, sit on cars and listen to music, entertain themselves with more strenuous activities like frisbee, or wrap up copying those unfinished assignments. When classes resume at 1:00 you can feel the energy in the air as students reluctantly go to class anticipat- ing the end of the day. At 2:55 students once again make a dash for their cars, busses, or start walking home. Some go to work, others goof off, but it is apparent very few if any go home and hit the books. 1. Robin Buckbee enjoys a roll during break. 2. Stacy Brown and Patty Harrington strike up a conversation while eating in the lunch room. 3.

Prom success despite controversy One of the biggest, most controversial issues of the year was that of the Jr. Sr. Prom. The controversy all started in late October when the junior class voted unanimously to hold the prom in Great Bend. Representatives from the junior class went to a school board meeting and requested permission to do this. After the school board gave their consent, the juniors decided that the prom would be held at the Black Angus in Great Bend. Almost immediately, this news was spread throughout the student body. A small group of seniors quickly assumed that they wouldn't like the prom and that it wouldn't work for several various reasons, but the juniors stuck with it and came out on top. One of their biggest arguments was that prom is decorating the gym and without doing this, the prom would be nothing. The juniors argued that the prom would be more special if it were held in a place that students didn't see every day. This is Ellinwood's prom. Why should it be in Great Bend? was another of this group's complaints. But, as senior class presi- dent, Jan Hatcher, said in her response at the banquet, It isn’t the location of the prom that matters, it's you. She also mentioned that in spite of all the controversy, the juniors put on a super prom. Many students' parents expressed fears about their kids having wrecks on the way to or from Great Bend, but this didn't prove to be a problem as there were no accidents. Another problem was that most of the sophomores weren’t sixteen years old and therefore couldn't legally drive to Great Bend to serve at the prom banquet. Because of this, the juniors decided not to have prom servers, much to the disappointment of some sopho- mores. Come Sail Away” was the theme of the prom which took place on April 25. The dinner started at 7 p.m. with an opening prayer led by Mr. Steve Gordon. Junior class president, Rita Robl, served as hostess for the dinner, and Mr. Edgar Sturtz was the speaker. Entertainment was provided by the Mystic Blues under the direction of Mr. Vern Fryberger. Stephanie Sturtz sang the prom theme which concluded the banquet. The dance was highlighted by Myth , a band consisting of five members from St. Joseph, Missouri. They were different from bands of past proms because of the choreography and lighting they used to make their performance much more entertaining to watch, as well as listen to. They appealed not only to the students but to many teachers and school board members who stayed to listen, also. Many students who attended the prom had positive comments about the evening. One of these students was Brenda Dickey, senior, who said, I hope they continue to have the prom in Great Bend because seniors deserve that much class. I'm really glad that our class stuck with our original plans and showed everybody what we could do, remarked Rita Robl. “I think everyone had a great time, especially the seniors that were so much against everything from the start. Seniors Graduate Commencement exercises were held May 17 in the gymnasium because of rain. Salutatorian, Tom Vogt, presented his speech concerning using all the abilities you have to the greatest extent possible. Mike Hood, valedictorian, gave his speech concerning making choices after leaving high school and the choices avail- able during high school. Rev. Al Haysom of the United Methodist Church delivered the baccalaureate speech, which was included in the graduating ceremonies this year. A sales consultant lecturer from Overland Park, Dick Gardner, was scheduled to be the guest speaker. Due tcr+reavy fog in Wichita, his plane was not able to make it to Great Bend. Don Caffee, principal, present- ed the senior class consisting of 56, and the Board of Education presented the diplomas. Musical numbers were given by Madrigal Pops and the concert choir and band. I.

The last day The seniors have been waiting four long years for this day, the day when the sen- iors will no longer attend classes at Ellin- wood High School. There have been many good times to be remembered, but the last day is the most memorable. There is the hustle to get lock- ers cleaned out, the bustle of checking books in with the teachers, getting fines paid, etc. And, in the end, there will be the happiness of cheering, and the sadness of crying, as the seniors realize that “this is it! . 1 Mrs. Sue Courtois takes care of one of Charlie Dittrick's bills. 2.

It gave the seniors their last taste of success on the high school level of football and gave some valuable experience to the other players that should carry on to next year’s team. Although this year’s football team was a difficult one with a record of 4-5, there were many bright spots. Head Coach Steve Buek said, For instance, a come from behind 8-7 win over Ellsworth and the emergence of the junior varsity players as bona-fide varsity play- ers with many sophomores gaining valuable exper- ience. Coach Buek commented “although next year’s team will miss the leadership and play of this year’s seniors, next year’s team promises to be a good one. There will be 14 returning players who at one time or another started a game.” Ell 2 Ell 8 Ell 0 Ell 14 Ell 21 Ell 29 Ell 7 Ell 0 Ell 29 vs Lyons 20 vs Ellsworth 7 vs Claflin 28 vs St. John 26 vs Fairfield 0 vs Stafford 6 vs Kinsley 19 vs Nickerson 7 vs Sterling 18 1.

Cheerleaders attempt to boost school spirit The football cheerleaders and the student council this year tried something new, having the pep assembly during school instead of after school. The opinion of the student body was somewhat varied. Some students felt it helped the morale of the student body and helped the players get up for the game hearing all the students yelling for them. But others thought that nobody should be made to go to a pep assembly. The cheerleaders also went to camp this past summer for the second year in a row. Asked about the camp, most agreed that it helped them get ready for the football season. The cheerleaders also had a new sponsor in Mrs. Cindy Austin. She helped the girls prepare for the football season. Mrs. Austin was a cheerleader in college. 1. Junior varsity cheerleaders are left to right. Shelly Thomas.

Varsity finishes 7-13 Coach Steve Buek was overall pleased with the way the team handled the season. We went into most games undersized and a underdog to the other team. But the team handled themselves with a great deal of pride winning 7 and losing 3.” Next year's team should be a good team with a lot of underclassmen gaining valuable playing time this year that should carry over to next year's season. Three seniors that we’ll lose are starter Andy Sauber, Rod Harrington, and Alan Pohl- man. We will miss the leadership and ability of these seniors but will have a large number of lettermen coming back and should have a fine team next year . 1. Kenny Ward goes up high for a jump ball. 2.

Q Small track team has bright and low spots Coach Richard Harrington commented on the track team this year, We had some bright spots and some low spots. The bright spots were the two mile relay team, one mile relay team, and shot put. The low spots were that we didn't have enough people out to be in all of the events.” Even though the track team did not complete well as a team, Coach Harrington was pleased with the performance of the people he did have. At the state meet, the two mile relay of Mike Hood, Mark Waters, Jason Ruckman, and Phil Feist placed fifth in a school-record time of 8:20.15.

She did a good job for us and we will miss her leadership and ability next season. Ahtough we are not high in quantity, we are high in quality and should have an exceptionally good team next year,” commented Coach Snay.

Debbie takes the graduation. “hard road” to Story feature by Molly Isem Most students look forward to their vacations during the school year. But for Debbie Malone, senior, the vacation lasted more than the usual week and a half at Christmas time. Hers lasted a whole year. Debbie took the time out from going to school her junior year to start raising a family. Coming back to school after missing a whole year meant many adjustments for Debbie. She had been accustomed to doing whatever she wanted and whenever she wanted to do it. Being married and having a baby changed her life a great deal. No longer were there the Friday and Saturday night parties, due to lack of money, babysitters, and guilty feel- ings of leaving Brandi, her baby, with a babysitter. A day in Debbies life starts at 5:30 a.m. After getting ready for school and taking care of the baby, she is ready for school at 7:45. After school, there is no goofing around, because Debbie has to pick up Brandi and go home where she finds the time to play with her baby before time to cook supper for Curtis, her husband. After supper, she either does her homework or cleans house. Either my homework suffers or my housework suffers, because it's hard to find time to do both. Since Debbie had not seen or talked to her friends very much, it was hard to get up her nerve to face everyone at school. But Debbie's decision to come back to school was because she realized how important a high school education was to her. An education means a lot to me. 1 figured that if something would ever happen to Curtis, I would be left with at least one child, without a job, and no diploma to get a good job.

Personnel (pp. 92-93) Administration leads the way Superintendent W.F. Wilson, Prin- cipal Don Caffee, and the school board are the decisionmakers that lead tl.S.D. 355 through each year. In 1980-1981, they made such decisions as letting the ju- niors have Prom outside of the El- linwood gym where it has always been. The board also okayed an overnight trip for the band, a poli- cy which wasn't allowed since 1954.
