The Eagle is published yearly by the yearbook staff of Unified School District No. 355. 1 New Look Eagle changes style Time marches on, and with this passing of time comes change. Change affects everything in school, the yearbook being no exception. This year the yearbook, The Eagle, has taken on a whole new look, with larger pictures on the layout and one picture being the biggest or domi- nant one. The staff has also gone away from putting all the captions in a cluster and put them by each pic- ture. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes meet- ings provide lots of recreation as well as reli- gious discussions.

They included everything from tops to bottoms, to entertainment. One of the popular fads that came in during the calendar year of 1981 were jerseys with a particular rock group insignia on them. Such groups included Air Supply, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Hall and Oats, Journey, and J. Geils. This year, though, the fad expanded with students’ names on them, or different college logos printed on them. As far as clothing, a new market was seen in the halls of EHS. Knick- ers came in tentatively, but were in full swing by the end of the school year. Pac Man and Space Invaders video games ruled with tight fingers this year at Ellinwood High. Several tournaments were sponsored by local merchants and were heavily attend- ed. That frustrating little block of plastic, bitterly known as the Ru- bik’s Cube, came early in the year and faded out toward the end, being replaced by “The Snake,” “The Tri- angle,” and such. These terrifying cubes sharpened everybody’s wit and shortened their nerves. These were a few fads that gave the halls of EHS a little more charac- ter. Pac Man fever seems to have taken hold of senior Bruce Worman.(Photo by Kevin Hickel) While lounging in the hall in their V-neck sweaters, seniors Cheryl Oberle and Micci Powell seem to have found an interesting part in a book.

(Photo by Lorri DeWerff) BBC Time Aides help teachers An added “extra” for juniors and seniors this year was the chance to go to the grade school for 9th hour and become a teacher’s aide. A total of 20 students took the opportunity to ex- plore this new class. Darrell Seitz, junior, said, “I really enjoyed the class, and it gave me the opportunity to see if I would like to enter the teaching profession later on.” The program was initiated when some of the grade school teachers in- quired about some help during the day for their classes. Mr. Joe Hickel, grade school principal, and Mr. Don Caffee, high school principal, met and started the program. Some of the different duties that the aides did for their teachers in- cluding checking papers, putting up bulletin boards, and working on a one-to-one basis with different stu- dents in their classes. Reading to the class was another fun job to do, as well as helping in the physical educa- tion department and drawing up charts. All of the teachers indicated that the program had been effective and that they were benefitting greatly from the help of the aides. Not only did it help the teachers, but it helped the elementary students in the classes. “I feel the high school aides were also enjoying the program as well as benefitting from their experiences. They all responded to me in a posi- tive manner,” Mr. Hickel said. He was referring to the notice that he sent out in the middle of the first semester to all the aides. In it, he asked them to write down some of their feelings about the program. As he said, all the comments received were positive. 9 ‘Work3 Ethic Many students find jobs a necessity As everyone knows, money is get- ting shorter these days, and many students have tried to make up for this by seeking part-time employ- ment. Jobs vary from the well known paper route to helping the elderly in a rest home to serving sundaes on a Sunday. Students had many ideas and opinions about their work. Kim Doll, sophomore, who works at the Dairy Queen, said, “It’s fun! Everyone thinks making an ice cream cone is easy, but it’s not!” Scott Strobl, sophomore, em- ployed at C.O. Mammel’s, had differ- ent ideas. “Since I can only work on Saturdays, that gives me a one day weekend. The money’s good, though,” he quickly added. Different reasons for working in- cluded that some didn’t have any choice, others needed the money, and so on. Some gave doubtful views on working during the school year. Missing school activities was at the head of the list, and some said they wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. The money made is used in several different ways, but Barbara Biays, sophomore, working at the Branding Iron in Great Bend, is saving her checks for a college education. “I save the tips I get, but I never know where it all goes!” she said. Mmmm! Employed at Boger’s Pharmacy. Cin- dy Petz works behind the fountain and creates all sorts of ice cream dishes.

Juniors, sophomores share Spirit Week win Spirit Week is the one week you can come to school without combing your hair or putting on clean clothes. Spirit Week began on Monday, Oct. 5, and ended on Friday, Oct. 9. Mon- day was Crazy Day; Tuesday, West- ern Day; Wednesday, Twin Day; Thursday, 50’s Day and Mr. Irresisti- ble; and Friday, Dress Up Day. The week opened with Crazy Day, and all four classes were in the race to see who had the most spirit. The juniors came out on top Monday, but were pushed out of this position on Tuesday by the seniors who proved they could “round’em up” for West- ern Day. Wednesday, “Twin Day”, the sophomores stole the show. 50’s Day was on Thursday, and the soph- omores raked in the points to tie the juniors for first place, with 120 points. The juniors and sophomores received a Super Spirit Award at the Homecoming pep assembly Friday. The seniors and freshman came up with 80 points each for second place. Something new this year was the “Mr. Irresistible” contest that was held on Thursday, along with 50’s Day. The idea was that every girl in Crazy? Well, maybe just a little. Shelly Thom- as, Stacie Brown, and Patty Peintner show what crazy means to them. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Elephant man? No, it’s just Sonya Seitz par- ticipating on Twin Day. Her twin for the day was DeAnn Isern. (Photo by Lorri DeWerff) the high school was given a HUSh button and was to refrain from talk ing to any high school guy the rest o the day. If they did talk to the guy they had to give their HUSH buttor to him. At the end of the day, the gu with the most HUSH buttons was crowned “Mr. Irresistible” at the pe[ assembly on Friday. The 1981 “Mr Irresistible” was Monte Miller. H« was crowned and given, from thf cheerleaders, a token of affection — a pair of underwear with hearts printed on them. 13 Homecoming '81 Clawson, Robl crowned King and Queen Though a disappointing 8-0 loss to the Sterling Black Bears Oct. 9 end- ed the 1981 Homecoming festivities, the general feeling was a feeling of success toward the day. The day started with an all school pep assembly by the EHS cheer- leaders. During the assembly they awarded the junior and sophomore classes the spirit awards for winning Spirit Week. The next prize went to Monte Miller, junior, for winning the Mr. Irresistible contest. Following a pep talk by Head Coach Bill Seidl, the day continued to the Homecom- ing assembly. The Homecoming assembly took place in the auditorium that after- noon at 2:30. Seniors Jess Starkey and Michelle Branson were the mas- ter and mistress of ceremonies. They announced the candidates with the accompaniment of sophomore Bar- bara Biays on the piano. Rita Robl and Kraig Clawson were then crowned Homecoming queen and king. The brother and sister combo of junior Darrell Seitz and senior So- nya Seitz sang “Looking Through the Eyes of Love.” The theme, Fall Fete, was rein- forced by the stage setting of huge leaves painted in fall colors. Crownbearers were Rebecca Herr- man, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Herman, and Joel Dewey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Dewey. The game that night against the Sterling Black Bears was scoreless until the last two and a half minutes when the Sterling quarterback threw a touchdown pass. Fog started rolling onto the field about the second quarter, making it almost impossible for the fans to de- termine which team was running the ball, and worse yet, where the two teams were. “You couldn’t see very far down the field, and it was hard on the re- ceiver to see the ball especially,” ju- nior tackle Jim Helfrich said. Later that night the Student Council sponsored a dance, with the group “Power Glide,” in the gym. Sonya Seitz, along with Darrell Seitz, honore the King and Queen by singing the theme son from “Ice Castles” during the ceremonj (Photo by Dale Hogg) 14 Rebecca Herrman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Herrman, Ellinwood, was one of the crownbearers.

The theme, “Rockin’ the Para- dise,” was chosen for the special event, and the old theater which used to reign in Chicago was resur- rected for this unforgettable evening. The ballroom at the Black Angus in Great Bend was decorated totally as the Paradise Theater. Tim Vogt, president of the junior class, welcomed the students and fac- ulty and then introduced Monty Fox, freshman, who sang the intro- duction to “Rockin’ the Paradise.” Then a musical film was shown which the junior class made especial- ly for Prom. This film was the high- light of the evening as it turned out. The film presented members of the junior class attending a rock concert in which the band members were sophomores Tony Thill and Craig Amerine, and freshmen Monty Fox, Scott Christiansen, and Mike Thill. These five pretended to be the group “Styx”, and the juniors were down below the stage screaming their praise. The Mystic Blues then sang the “Fame” medley, while synchronized flashing of strobe lights made the group appear to be in slow motion. A new event this year was the crowning of Prom royalty. Candi- dates for the honor were seniors Lorri DeWerff, Nancee Dannebohm, Robin Buckbee, Kraig Clawson, Dale Hogg, and Curtis Arbuckle. The 1982 Prom king and queen were Kraig Clawson and Nancee Dannebohm. “Myth” was the band for the sec- ond year in a row. Many compli- ments were received about them. - Reviewed by Sonya Seitz Time to get close. Senior Sheryl Whittaker and date, Mike Hood, enjoy this slowing down in pace.

May 16 was the memorable day for the 45 seniors who walked down the floor, all in thoughts about their high school years. Salutatorian, Rita Robl, gave her address to the seniors on how they should cherish their years past, but continue on towards their goals in life. Cheryl Oberle, valedictorian, spoke on class memo- ries and how much the senior class had grown together. Father Gilbert Herrmann of the Catholic Church delivered the com- mencement speech, followed by Don Caffee, principal, who presented spe- cial citizenship awards from the Kansas State High School Activities Association to Lorri DeWerff and Dale Hogg. Mr. Caffee proceeded in presenting the class of 1982. The Board of Education gave the diplo- mas. Seniors elected to the National Honor Society were Robin Buckbee, Nancee Dannebohm, Lorri DeWerff, Phil Feist, Dale Hogg, Cheryl Oberle, and Rita Robl. With the money left over from the class fund, a single white silk flower was bought for each senior girl. Striving for future goals was part of salutatori- an, Rita Robl’s. address to the seniors.

Buckbee served as the editor of the yearbook this year. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Staffs create changes The appearances of both the school newspaper and yearbook changed this year. The newspaper changed to a four-page newsprint tabloid format that was published once every two weeks. The tradition- al baby picture and senior spotlight section of the paper was dropped, stirring up controversy among seg- ments of the student body. An edito- rial policy statement by Editor Cur- tis Arbuckle, in the Dec. 17 issue, to- tally abolished the senior spotlight- baby picture concept for the year. This created concern among some students, who tossed shredded news- papers throughout the main hall during break and some who set the editions on fire in a hall trash can. The yearbook format was also al- tered, with many of the ideas result- ing from a yearbook workshop at Bethany College in Lindsborg during the summer. Editor Robin Buckbee brought home the idea of a trend to- wards a magazine format, larger pic- tures and less pictures on each dou- ble page spread. Fifteen members of the journalism department attended the Kansas Scholastic Press Association regional contest at Fort Hays State Universi- ty Feb. 18. There were four first places, including Sheryl Whittaker in newspaper editorial writing, Monte Miller in newspaper sports feature, Robin Buckbee in yearbook theme development, and Rita Robl in yearbook layout graphics and spe- cial effects. Second places included Andy Ernsting in newspaper sports feature and Rita Robl in yearbook theme development. Lorri DeWerff placed third in a special photography division. These seven winners qualified for the state contest at the University of Kansas in Lawrence April 3. Sheryl Whittaker repeated her performance in newspaper editorial writing by re- ceiving first place. Rita Robl placed third in yearbook theme develop- ment. Monte Miller types his copy for his yearbook pages in order to meet the deadline.

Curtis Arbuckle, the editor of the Eagle, was the person mainly responsible for making the alteration. (Photo by Dale Hogg) One of the tasks performed by the newspaper staff as the deadline approaches is to lay out the paper. Dale Hogg splices a story to fit the copy space.

Students had selected authors and used the library as an area of research. Chris Kincaid notes his new- ly researched knowledge. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) English students Jay Ingalls and Kevin Doll put their ideas on paper while writing a com- position. Doll and his family moved during mid-school year back to their former home, Oakley. (Photo by Michelle Branson) On January 11, Mrs. Frances Es- field visited the English III and IV classes of Mrs. Nancy Converse. Mrs. Esfield demonstrated the art of handwriting analysis, or graphoana- lysis. Thinking speed, reading compre- hension, and mathematical and me- chanical abilities were determined following a handwriting improve- ment project. Mrs. Esfield, a gra- phoanalyst since 1961, is president of the Kansas Chapter. In English II, a Quasar video re- play system was incorporated into the curriculum of Mr. Tony Furse. Being a new addition, the system was used to view the anti-Nazi presenta- tion, “The Wave.” This change in Mr. Furse’s teaching technique also allowed the students to watch the television production of Of Mice and Men, besides reading the novel. Twentieth Century Popular Cul- ture students, taught by Mr. Mike Westerman, went to the Starr An- tique store to look at a collection of magazine advertisements, ranging from the early 1900’s to the sixties. Study time is used wisely by Blake Wells in first year English. One must employ time well for completion of assignments.

(Photo by Dale Hogg) 25 Languages keep busy The Ellinwood High School lan- guage arts department had many ac- tivities scheduled for the 1981-82 year. It has also been a successful year for the German, Latin, Spanish and Speech classes. Mrs. Vicki Schroeder concentrated on the grammar and vocabulary in German I and II. Also, cultural dif- ferences were discussed. Puppets were used for the first time to reduce the inhibitions in speaking German. Students attended the “Oktober- fest” in Wichita and the Humanities Festival in Salina. They also went to the Foreign Language Day at Barton County Community College. The use of Latin derivitives was studied in both Latin I and II. These classes also went to the Foreign Lan- guage Day at BCCC. Schroeder said that the students had favorable reac- tions to the grips. Besides Spanish, Mr. Wilbur Hogg taught a freshman speech and a for- ensics and debate class. Since there were not enough deba- ters, no meets were attended, but a tournament was held here on Octo- ber 10. However, the forensics squad did well. Members of the squad were Kirk Bressler, Tina Monaghan, So- nya and Darrell Seitz, Paula and Rhonda Welden, Beth Wilhelm, Gina Cunningham, Doug Hood, Shelly Krom and Dale Hogg. The team took many trips. Some of the tournaments they attended were at Hays, Sterling, St. John, and BCCC. They brought home 46 I ratings, 51 IIs and 20 Ills. This represents a to- tal of 117 individual performances. The regional festival was held here on March 10. Dale Hogg and the Seitzes qualified for the state festival in Pratt on May 8.

Also visited was Dillon’s, where they studied techniques used in marketing. The students felt it was helpful to hear from people who specialize in these areas and to see actual exam- ples of their techniques. Two local places visited were Peo- ples State Bank, where the classes observed its operations, and a gro- cery store where they studied pric- ing. Mrs. Cindy Austin’s Typing I stu- dents learned the basic essentials on the typewriter with emphasis on speed during the second semester. The correct ways for typing manu- scripts, letters, and envelopes were also covered. Filing, besides further learnings of the principles of typing, was an area of study in Mrs. Austin’s Advanced Typing class. It would seem as though Shorthand would be nearly impossible to learn, but students en- rolled in the class do manage to succeed. Mrs. 28 Cindy Austin demontrates the techniques used in this form of writing. (Photo by Nancee Dannebohm) Vicky Cunningham.

Two local bankers visited the two classes, one under the instruction of Mr. Roger Stremel and the other taught by Mr. George Whitmer, and discussed areas related to automobile purchase such as bor- rowing money, payments, and inter- est. A local insurance agent was also present to analyze various types of insurance. Costs of the insurance were also discussed. The general areas covered in Mr. Leon Sobba’s Algebra I classes were studies of number systems, solving equations, graphing, and an intro- duction to trigonometry. Trigonom- etry is later studied thoroughly in Mr. Stremel’s Advanced Math class. Jodi Sateren works on her problems in Mr. Leon Sobba's Algebra 1 class.

Sponsored by the American Legion, seven students were appointed to county offices. The Barton County Courthouse in Great Bend was the site for the event, with students spending two or three hours with the respective offices to get an idea of the job that they were appointed. The seven persons attending, under Con- stitution teacher Mr. Richard Har- rington, were Curtis Arbuckle, Robin Buckbee, Dinah Dahlke, Machelle O’Neal, Micci Powell, Christine Rickert, and Kim Sateren. Constitution, Economics, and American Government classes trav- eled to Topeka March 23 to view the state legislature in session. In both semester classes, the stu- dents enrolled in Economics took part in a stock market game. Given “100,000 dollars” to begin with for purchasing stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the teams’ goals were to finish in the final state rankings with the top winners invit- ed to a banquet at the game’s head- quarters, Kansas State University. Psychology, sometimes defined as the science of behavior, is taught by Mr. Robert Ashlock, who also serves as the school’s guidance counselor. U.S. News and World Report magazines are read in available Economics study periods. Kraig Clawson focuses his attention on an ar- ticle.

Computer Science students benefited from the addition by receiving more time to work, or program, on the computers. Computer Science students said with eleven persons enrolled in the class, it was difficult for each to receive sufficient time to do assigned prob- lems. For this reason, students found themselves ‘computer-working’ out- side of the regular class hour. Out of the eleven persons enrolled, three of them consisted of advanced students studying the computers for their sec- ond year. The three computers were not used solely for the one class, but Mr. Sobba put them to use in his other classes: Physics, Chemistry, and Al- gebra I. General Science students taught by Mr. Bill Seidl, visited the Kansas Cosmosphere, March 3, in Hutchin- son. A biology teacher can also take part in the lab experiments. Here Mr. Robert Robins aids Scott Strobl in observing various cells under a microscope.

Four rooms were torn down to pro- vide a much larger area, with classes being held in the shop. A lumber storage rack was also constructed, enabling easier access to the desired wood. The floor was covered with ep- oxy paint to make cleaning up less of an effort, and the glue room was moved to a more adequate location. Senior vocational agricultural stu- dents, instructed by Mr. Howard Wallace, traveled into Nebraska to a National Livestock Research Center located in Clay Center, Nebraska. A New Holland plant and museum in Grand Island were also visited. Mechanical Drawing and General Metals classes were taught by Mr. Lyle Sanborn. Mr. Fred Gunn gets wood from his newly con- structed storage rack. The entire wood shop was redone for easier accessibility.

They displayed their projects consisting of various types of cloth- ing and crafts. The public viewed dresses that were made by Mrs. Linda Sobba’s Home Ec classes, who also studied about foods, nutrition, and child care throughout the year. Bachelor Living students con- structed vests and shirts for display at the show. Along with sewing, basic foods and nutrition were also cov- ered by Mrs. Betty Tranbarger. Macrame hangings, created by stu- dents in Mrs. Tranbarger’s Craft class, were hung at the “Big Show.” Mrs. Sobba’s Home Ed classes traveled to Barton County Commu- nity College to attend the Home Eco- nomics Day. Several of the students entered some of the contests which were held as part of the learning ex- perience. Family Living class, taught by Mrs. Linda Sobba, went to Gunn's Bridal Shop in Great Bend to experience trying on wedding gowns and also to learn various costs involved.

Fourteen boys enrolled in the class which actually had two phases. Weight training was practiced two days a week, where the group devel- oped a general training program. The remaining days were spent partici- pating in various games and activi- ties such as bowling, golf, and hunt- ing. These activities are applied to sports faced later in life, as the title of the class implies. Freshmen Health and P.E. classes went to the Kansas Health Museum in Halstead. A film, lecture, and dis- cussion on human growth and devel- opment were presented. Freshmen P.E. classes were taught by Mr. Ross Friesen and Miss Karen Snay. Driver’s Education was instructed by Mr. Lyle Sanborn. Besides driv- ing the car, topics studied were fit- ness to drive, alcohol and drugs, laws of nature, and buying and insuring an automobile. Miss Karen Snay works out with the weight machine's bench press. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) 40 Tim Elsen rounds the bases during a freshmen physical education softball game.

Also visited was the Wichita Museum of Art. Kevin Hickel, senior, was Ellin- wood’s only key finalist with his work being chosen to enter the New York National Scholastic Art Show. Hickel’s entry, a screen print titled “Life Beyond Decadence”, was one of many others across the state to achieve gold-key awards. This was Hickel’s second time to become a gold-key finalist throughout his four years of studies under Mr. Sturtz. Seven other students had their work selected to be on display in the show at Wichita. These students were Curtis Schwartz, Doug Hood, Ty Welsh, Jeff Whitmer, Donna Feist, Brad Bownes, and Shelly Krom. These seven entries accepted were also screen prints. The purpose of the annual trip was to expose the students to other art- ists’ work plus the works of profes- sionals at the museum. During the year. Mr. Edgar Sturtz and the photography class changed the appearance of the darkroom. Stephanie Sturtz and Chris Kincaid watch as Mr. Sturtz puts the finishing touches on the rearrangement.

These three en- tries were black and white prints and were accepted during the week of April 5 through April 9. All winning photographs were displayed in the library through April 30. Mr. Sturtz’s class’ main task was taking the pictures for the yearbook class, as his photography group does annually. Mr. Reginald Buxton had eleven students enroll in Library Science. Lori Buckbee, Gina Cunningham, Vicky Cunningham, Dinah Dahke, Susan Grant, Machelle O’Neal, Cathy Petz, Kim Sateren, Tami Stre- mel, Shelley Ward, and Deanna Wil- son had duties such as sorting mail, shelving books, filing library cards, and tending the circulation desk.

Both instructors, Mr. Steve Gordon and Mr. Vern Fryberger, felt that al- though the year was busy, it was suc- cessful. The concert choir attended both league, held at Barton County Com- munity College, and regionals, also at BCCC. The groups received a I and a II respectively. Several soloists also went, but Stephanie Sturtz was the only one to qualify for state, where she got a I. A I at regionals is required to qualify for state. Members of the high school chorus perform during their winter concert. Singers include Karen Schrader, Leah Sobba, Jodi Clawson, Lisa Boepple, Cathy Jahay, Megan Mohn. Diane Muller and Lori Lusk.

The Mystic Blues attended the same festivals and got a II at state. The pops group also went on tour and visited Garden Plain, Pretty Prairie, Otis-Bison and Hanston. They also went to a “Swing Festival” in Buhler. The Eagle marching band was made larger by junior high band members. This was done because most of the lower brass was out for football. The band attended festivals at Fort Hays and Wichita State. They also went to the University of Kansas Band Day. The jazz band was changed to a Dixieland format, which was smaller and more select. The concert band attended both festivals, league and regionals, get- ting a II both times. Only the brass quartet and soloist Bob Werner went to state at Salina’s Marymount Col- lege.

Set in the late 1940s, the story is placed near Times Square in New York City. Miss Sarah Brown, played by Stephanie Sturtz, is in charge of a Save-a- soul Mission where she holds meetings. In the same area, Nathan Detroit, played by Darrell Seitz, hangs out with his pals. Nathan needs $1,000 for a place to hold his floating crap game. Sky Masterson, played by Scott Rhoades, is passing through town. Nathan bets Sky that he can’t take Miss Sarah to Havana. He ac- cepts and takes Miss Sarah. � What’s playing at the Roxie is being discussed by Monty Fox and Tony Thill. Both played the parts of small time New York gangsters in Guys and Dolls. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) Nathan Detriot, played by Darryll Seitz, and Adelaide, portrayed by Cathy Petz, discuss the prospect of marriage.

(Photo by Robin Buckbee) Musical continued Nathan loses the bet, but finds an- other place to hold his crap game. Sky and Miss Sarah fall in love, and the rest is a storybook ending. Miss Adelaide, Nathan’s sweet- heart, was a very important role in the plot of the play. Cathy Petz, who played the role, did an excellent job. Never once getting out of character, she stretched her personality across the stage, making the audience be- lieve that she really was the ritzy show girl the poutish voice por- trayed. Big Jule, the big Chicago gambler in town for shooting crap, was por- trayed by Dale Hogg. His rough, tough voice during the crap games brought out his high-roller, sore-los- er personality to the audience. Jule was a figure that most people loved to hate. Although the play was a good one, a few members of the audience grew restless towards the end of the play. Not only does the stage crew build the sets, they also must take them down. Scott Strobl lifts a canvas flat to its storage place above the stage. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) (Continued to page 51) This year’s stage crew adorns a set which they made for Guys and Dolls.

Junior play goes well Review by Sonya Seitz When going to a class play, part of the fun of watching the performance is knowing that somewhere in the play someone will do something un- expected that will cause everyone on stage to start laughing. So was the case with this years junior play, “Time Out For Ginger” presented April 2 and 3. The first night was full of ’bloopers’ which brought the house down. First of all, a case of stage fright hit Bob Werner, and the prompter could be heard as he tried to recall his lines. At one point, he was so far from the prompter that she had to yell the lines and he repeated them. It sounded like an echo. Cathy Petz had her share of “fun times,” too. At one point she reached over and pulled Bob’s tie, but it came off in her hands. Petz also had trou- ble with the telephone when it wouldn’t stay in it’s cradle. It ended up falling to the floor, making the most noise possible. Terri Burke came running down the stairs during the show and grabbed hold of the bannister knob only to have it fall off With play books in hand, Patty Peintner and Bob Werner rehearse lines for the junior play. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Discussing the facts of life with Ginger, played by Susan Strobl, is her mother, Cathy Petz. (Photo by Dale Hogg) in her hand. She tried to nonchalant- ly put it back into it’s proper place. One big factor in showing a pro- duction is the set used. In “Time Out For Ginger” the set was too great to put into words. Mr. Leon Sobba de- signed it, and it received compli- ments from the audience. The added effects like the doorbell, the tele- phone and the door slamming were added extras for the show. 50 The ever imposing principal Wilson, por- trayed by Doug Hood, reprimands the rest of the cast of it’s stand on women in athletics. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Director Wilbur Hogg blocks a scene in “Time Out For Ginger for Cathy Petz. (Photo by Dale Hogg) Second-night crowd reacts best; length caused some to tire Continued from page 49 It was a longer play than most, lasting nearly two and a half hours. Also adding to restlessness was the time of the play. Starting at 8:00 p.m., standard time for most plays, it wasn’t over until nearly 10:45 p.m. Breaking the tradition for a 7:30 start would have been alright in this case. For the most part, though, the audience responded well. The sec- ond night crowd seemed to enjoy the play more than the first night’s crowd. The second perfor- mance went better because as the audience started laughing at some of the lines, the characters started to feel the emotion and began to ad lib. In fact, a few cues were missed because of the cast being so engrossed in watching what was going on on stage. The sets of the production did an excellent job of setting the scenes of the play. During the Hot Box club scene, the lights and the props really made the stage into a swinging nightclub. The sewer set was very effective also. It looked as though the characters had climbed right down the ladder into the dark place. This dark set helped create one of the brighter scenes in the play. Though a lengthy and late starting play, Guys and Dolls was a good one. Directed by Vern Fry- berger and Wilbur Hogg with the stage crew under the direction of Leon Sobba, the play was very well done. Any deficiencies in the acting or in the sets were covered by the overwhelming excellence of the musical itself. 51 A lot of effort is put forth into sports from students. Physically they give their all, running laps around the track, doing sprints across the court, practicing free throws, and kicking field goals. But most importantly, they must exert full concentration. One lapse in that concentration, and all that physical work can be wasted. Stacie Brown takes a break at a tennis meet to ask coach Vern Fryberger a few things about her previous games. Stacie went up against St. John, losing 6-8; then she won against Claflin 9-8, but she went on to lose in a close match with Lincoln 6-8.

This season the district setup changed, and the Eagles were put in the same district as Ness City, Ellis, and Kinsley. In the first round the Eagles defeated Kinsley in a thrilling victory, 25-24. In the next week of regional play the Eagles were beaten by a ground-oriented Ness City team, 28-0. The Eagles then played Ellis in the final game of the season, coming out on top by the score of 49- 0. The offensive leader for the Eagles on the year was Jay Ingalls, who gained 641 yards on 149 carries for a 4.3 average. Scott Doll was next as he rushed for 423 yards on 91 carries for a 4.7 average. On the defensive side for the Ea- gles, Kraig Clawson was the team leader as he had 45 unassisted tack- les and 84 assisted. Ingalls followed with 37 unassisted and 106 assisted tackles.

The team consisted of no seniors, which seems to give the Eagles a brighter look for the oncom- ing year. “We had a pretty fair year this year, and I’m looking for bigger and better things next year,” Coach Karen Snay commented. The Eagle varsity tennis squad, under coach Vern Fryberger, didn’t quite have the year that he had planned, which was mainly due to a lot of injuries throughout the course of the year. “This year was somewhat of a disappointment for me, as I thought we should have had a better year than we did, but injuries really hurt us,” Coach Fryberger said.

This year’s squad consisted of only three seniors, six juniors, and five sophomores. This year’s team was coached by Ross Friesen and George Whitmer. Friesen, making his debut as the Eagle head coach, was pleased with the outcome of the team. “I was really happy with the way we played, especially at the end of the year,” Coach Friesen said. “I think we did better than what a lot of people ex- pected us to do,” Coach Friesen also said. The Eagles were led in scoring by senior center Kevin Zimmerman who finished his career as an Eagle aver- aging 16 points a game. Senior Kevin Corbett also had a lot to do with the team’s success as he was second in scoring and first on the team in re- bounding. Junior Monte Miller was the leading playmaker for the Eagles and averaged nine points. Junior Ed Ward was the team leader in steals, and he averaged just under eight points a game. Junior Doug Hood was next in scoring on the Eagle team as he averaged 6.2 points a game. The real bright spot for the Eagles for the oncoming two seasons was sophomore Carl Petz. Petz aver- aged 5.8 points a game. The Eagles ended their season with a tough overtime loss to Hes- ston 73-67 in the substate champion- ship game. Kevin Zimmerman added some in- dividual honors to his credit as he was selected honorable mention all- state in the Topeka Daily Capital. He was also selected to play in the Mid- Kansas Basketball Classic, which consisted of the best senior players in the middle of the state.

The team was led by first-year coach Bill Seidl. “This was a very good year for us, a learning year”, Coach Seidl said. “I was pleased with the girl’s play and am looking forward to next year”.

All year long the Eagle team was pla- gued with sickness and injuries. At times the Eagles placed well, but the lack of numbers on the team pre- vented the Eagles from placing high in the big meets.

Leaders show spirit This year under the sponsorship of Cindy Austin the cheerleaders helped to increase school spirit in many ways. When asked how they have helped, Mrs. Cindy Austin re- plied, “The cheerleaders have done an excellent job this year of helping to increase school spirit. They have worked many hours making the signs and posters which decorate our halls. They have been responsible for the treats which were put in the players’ lockers to urge them on and increase their spirit. “They have also spent much time organizing and presenting the pep assemblies we have enjoyed this year. Although they only last about 15-20 minutes, the assemblies take much time and effort to prepare. The girls have also initiated some other ideas for increasing spirit, such as giving the opposing team the silent treatment and the wearing of hats to the games. Most of all, though, the cheerleaders have helped to increase school spirit by their cheerful atti- tude and willingness to do anything they can to back their favorite team — the Ellinwood Eagles!” Cheering the Eagles on to a football victory are Patty Harrington, Sonya Seitz, and Shair- lyn Casey.

They attended two conferences, one at St. John and the other at Camp Aldrich. Also they sponsored a homecoming dance. In hopes of increasing school spir- it, the Stu Co sponsored a spirit film on Jan. 25. After the film each class then held discussions over the topic. The officers this year for Stu Co are president Dale Hogg, vice-presi- dent Cathy Petz, secretary-treasurer Patty Peintner, and sponsor Mr. Larry Vogt. The Stu Co held an election for the 1982-83 school year, April 23. Run- ning for president were Cathy Petz and Doug Hood. Hood won. Vice- president Barbara Biays and secre- tary-treasurer Patty Peintner ran unopposed.

A special event was held Feb. 6. Many people took part in a Pot- pourri, which was sponsored by the Kayettes. This variety show consist- ed of a barber shop quartet, a Dixie- land band, a “mellerdramer”, and a skit by a few of the Kayette mem- bers. The first date for the two-night Potpourri was scheduled for Feb. 4, but was snowed out. The Kayetes sponsored a Ma, Pa, and Me Supper on March 22. The Kayettes also traveled to Otis-Bison to a Mini-Conference which was held on March 17. The president of Kayettes was Nancee Dannebohm and vice-presi- dent was Robin Buckbee. The Kayette board consisted of Barbara Biays, Shairlyn Casey, Dinah Dahlke, Kim Doll, Michele Haddon, Jamie Kasselman, Debbie Spring, and Diana Wilson. The sponsor this year was Linda Sobba.

They attended the state conven- tion March 13 at Wichita in which they brought home five second place ribbons and one first. The ribbons were won in both academic and physical activities. On March 26 the Latin Club held a Roman Banquet in which they were fed Roman style. The Latin Club then traveled to the Barton County Community Col- lege April 19 for the Foreign Lan- guage Day. While there they present- ed a play, “Sound of Latin , taken from the musical, “Sound of Music.” For the upcoming year they plan on going to Oklahoma University in Norman for the National Latin Con- vention on Aug. 1-6. The Latin Club has done money- making projects in order to go to these places. Among these projects are the selling of candy bars and working in the concession stand. The officers for Latin Club are president Debbie Spring, vice-presi- dent Diana Wilson, secretary Micci Powell, treasurer Michele Haddon, historian Deanna Wilson, and spon- sor Vicki Schroeder. The German Club attended the Oktoberfest in Wichita on Sept. 26. After this they went ice skating. On March 12 they visited Kansas Wes- leyan in Salina. While at the human- ities festival, they presented poems. On Jan. 17 they went to a Wichita Wings soccer game. They then at- tended the Barton County Commu- nity College Foreign Language Day on April 19, in which they presented the play, “Hansel and Gretel”. An- other activity included a picnic at the city park on April 26. The German Club officers are president Micci Powell, vice-presi- dent Buckbee, secretary-treasurer Lisa Boepple, program chairman Scott Schlochtermeier, and sponsor Vicki Schroeder.

Mr. Howard Wallace, the FFA advis- er, said. “We felt since we had won nine years in a row that we didn’t have any projects that could place very high so we didn’t enter.’’ However, Andy Ernstring did take first place in farm crops-grain sorgh- ums in the open adult class. This year the FFA sponsored a Duck and Pheasant Feed on Dec. 1 and their annual Food Sale on Dec. 4. Also this year they held their Sau- sage Sale on Feb. 6, where they made around $720.

They had their good and bad times, which both made memories that will last a lifetime. Memories such as homecoming will be implanted on many seniors’ minds, especially those of Rita Robl and Kraig Clawson. They were crowned the 1981-82 Homecoming royalty. A memory for a few seniors was the trip to Topeka that was spon- sored by the Lions Club. Prom serves as one of the fonder of the memories. But probably the memory that will remain the longest is graduation. Class officers included Rita Robl, president; Cheryl Oberle, vice-presi- dent; and Lorri DeWerff, secretary- treasurer. StuCo members were Rita Robl, Dinah Dahlke, Sonya Seitz, and Lorri DeWerff. Class sponsors were Mr. Fred Gunn and Mr. Lyle Sanborn.

Machelle O’Neal Stony Parks Nicci Powell Christine Rickert Experience faced by senior is different The course of the school year proved to be a trying ordeal for sen- ior Rita Robl. Rita experienced a torn ligament in her knee at the be- ginning of the school year while playing tennis. Coming back to school on crutches changed Rita’s outlook about school. “It (being on crutches) changed the way I looked at the school — it was suddenly just a lot of stairs that I had to go up and down all the time, and the halls seemed twice as long.” Be- ing on crutches also meant that that two more weeks were required. Another discouragement that Rita many adjustments had to be made. She had to get ready for school earli- er, sleep on her back with her leg elevated for a month, rip out the legs of her jeans to fit over the cast, and plan things ahead so as not to make extra trips. Although adjustments were made, discouragements never seemed to cease. After being on crutches for three months, Rita visited her doctor hoping to be rid of them only to find faced was attending basketball games because, as she put it, “I really wanted to play.” But de- spite these discouragements and disadvantages, the teachers “were really helpful and patient about the work to be made up, and my friends were very understanding, also.” 88 The mind of a senior must be totally atten- Centhia Stephens tive to important things as Susan Grant clear- ly demonstrates.

The cafeteria seemed to al- ways have a mild roar due to talking and laughing students. Each day, students rushed to the cafeteria to reach the head of the line. Once in line, it seemed to take forever to reach the food. Lunch tick- ets and dollar bills were constantly being folded and wrinkled so that when it was time to pay, the crum- pled mess was totally unrecogniza- ble. During lunch, friends seemed to cluster together. Everyone was bus- ily eating, but most time was spent talking. Also, thoughout the period, were constant remarks about the food. Whether it was how terrible the peas were, or how delicious the spa- ghetti was, comments about the food was heard almost as much as the chatter. After lunch it was time to clean up. Trays, silverware, napkins, milk car- tons, and left-over food all had its place. Silverware was plunged into a bucket; napkins, milk cartons, and left-over food were disposed of in trash cans; trays were slammed on top of each other to form a stack. Lunchtime, as routine as it seemed, was an important part of the school day to many students. An expression of satisfaction is shown on Cathy Petz’s face as she eats lunch in the El- linwood High School cafeteria. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) Sophs Being the middleman, or better known as a sophomore, has it’s ad- vantages and disadvantages as some of the sophomores recalled. Donna Feist summed it up. “There’s no difference from last year, but now you always have the chance to pick on someone younger than you.” Shairlyn Casey put it, “Feels good not to be Woodhaven yet .. . seniors, I mean.” The main attraction to being a sophomore was the ordering of class rings. Each year the choices become harder to make as the Josten’s Com- pany keeps adding new things to their collection. Mr. Leon Sobba and Mrs. Nancy Converse sponsored this class. Offi- cers were Barbara Biays, president; Jamie Kasselman, vice president; and Scott Strobl, secretary-treasurer. Representing the class in StuCo were Kim Doll and Shairlyn Casey. Memories kept inside 92 Lockers served as an everyday ne- cessity of school life. They were the starting point of the day, as well as the finishing point after each stu- dent’s last class was completed. The lockers at Ellinwood High School were no different than lockers at any other high school. They were used for many things throughout the school year. There was constant talk- ing around them before and after school, and in between classes. They were often used as a gathering place for hungry gossipers in which the la- test news, plans, and activities were heard. Lockers were also very personal. Each one was very different from the next. Some were decorated with pic- tures and momentos that collected during the school year. Others were bare except for the cluttered books which were kept inside. Some were very tidy, while the majority were a complete disaster. Whether it was for social gather- ings or just for the well-being of the student, lockers served their own in- dividual purposes. And the memories locked within them will never be for- gotten of high school days gone by.

Jackie Branson, 16, was pronounced dead at the scene of an acci- dent a mile east of Ellinwood early Sat- urday morning, Aug. 22. During high school Jackie was involved in band. Survivors from Ellinwood included her father, Jack Branson; her sister, Michelle Branson; and her step- brother, Mark Immenschuh. 93 Frosh What exactly is it like to be a freshman at Ellinwood High School? Some of the opinions of these fledg- lings were ... Gary Cummings said “It’s okay. It’s better than it was in Great Bend. I can’t wait till I’m a senior.” Jodi Sateren was a little more opti- mistic. “At first it was scary, but I got used to all the ‘uppers’ even though most of them had fun picking on us.” Mr. Ross Friesen and Miss Karen Snay led the freshman class as spon- sors. Class officers included Gary Oglesbee, president; Jim Breitkreutz, vice president; Tim Minkovich, sec- retary, and Jeff Rocha, treasurer. StuCo members were Jodi Clawson and Tom Barrow. Break occurred daily Break was an everyday experience that occurred after second hour and lasted for ten minutes. Break was ex- actly what the name suggests; it loos- ened the school day by cutting into routine classes. It made the mornings a little less lingering and a lot more tolerable. This time of day consisted of many activities. There were doughnuts, milk, and orange juice for those who felt their stomachs howl with hunger after their morning’s work. But the activity that almost everyone par- ticipated in was the talking and meeting with friends. Groups of friends could be found sitting on the few benches in the main hall, but most students were usually found sitting on the floor or standing together. Break wasn’t just for eating and talking; it was also a good time for that last minute studying on that test forgotten about the night before. That time of day, known to stu- dents at Ellinwood High School as break, was a time for us to get togeth- er with friends and just relax. As brief of time as it was, it was a very important part of the school day.

A few of the areas that were changed included the lunch procedure, the number of days we went to school, and the making up of time for unex- cused absentees and tardies.

(Photo by Robin Buckbee) 96 Changes are made The dawning of the school year brought many changes from the of- fice of Principal Don Caffee. The change that probably affected the most students was the addition of a seventh hour. The extra class period was the result of the school board’s decision to go to a 1,080 hour year rather than the old 180 day for- mat. The reason for the move was to make snow days easier to make up. The plan also eliminated the old sev- enth hour activity period. The mid-morning break was also different this year. The morning in- terruption, which was held between second and third hours, was cut from 15 to 10 minutes. This way the break could be counted as class time. Other changes included upping the graduation requirements from 20 to 21 credits in 1982-83 and 22 credits in 1983-84, the addition of organiza- tional meetings with in the class schedule and during the noon hour, and a detention period proctored by Mrs. Tillie Peintner for those who had accumulated three unexcused tardies. The purchase of a new activity bus was also approved by the school board. The scheduling of activities, keeping track of absentees and making sure the athletic events are officiated are some of the many duties performed by activity director Mr. Rob- ert Robins. He also teaches the biology classes. (Photo by Craig Hawkins) The buck stops on the desk of Superin- tendent William Wilson. Here he discusses a proposal at a school board meeting.

All of the long standing employees noticed some change in the school system since they first began work- ing here. “Things are always better with change” commented Fred Schmidt. Schmidt began his career as a custo- dian 22 years ago at Wheatland when it also included first through eighth grade, before it unified with District 355. He said that when he moved to town he noticed a loss of social life. No more were there any family din- ners or get togethers at Christmas time. ...

(Photo by Dale Hogg) continued from opposite page However, he has not found it a change for the worse. Schmidt said that the attitude of the stu- dents has gotten better at Ellin- wood High School. He has also seen the addition of girl’s athlet- ics. Schmidt’s better half will be hanging up her apron after this year. She has been a cook in the system for ten years. About when she started, she commented, “The students were rowdy”, but she has noticed a great improvement. “Give a kid a smile, and if he’s had a bad day, it’ll make it better.” Mrs. Schmidt credits the better attitudes to the “smiles” and to their joking with the kids. “I really enjoyed it and I’m go- ing to miss it (working at EHS); they’ve been a great bunch.” More involvement and more ac- tivities were the major changes noticed by Mrs. Cleo Thomason. Thomason has been a secretary in District 355 for 14 years. Since she has started working here, she has seen two superintendents (Sam Stitt and William Wilson) and the addition of the new library. When she started, she saw more aca- demic activities; now there is more athletic participation. There are also more activities for the stu- dents. “It has been an enjoyable experience ... It always improves with change.” Index R Adams.

With the passing of another year comes the inevitable change. Seniors are no longer a part of high school, juniors become seniors, soph- omores become juniors, and fresh- men become sophomores.
