Ellinwood High School - Eagle Yearbook (Ellinwood, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1983 volume:

THE EAGLE Ellinwood High School Ellinwood, KS. 67526 (USD 355) Volume 48 1982-83 Friendship: Flying high in Eagle Territory “ET, the Extra Terrestrial,” was a 1982 box-office, record-breaking movie about an ugly, little green alien with big frightened eyes who was left behind when his spaceship departed from exploring Earth. The creature was befriended by Elliot, a 12-year-old boy, who named it “ET”. ET depended on Elliot to help him get home. With the help of Elliot, ET was able to “phone home.” The movie ended when ET was picked up in the woods by his spaceship. But when he left Earth, he also left Elliot. Our hearts were touched at that special mo- ment when ET left. The two would not be together, but they would each hold special memories of one another in their hearts. At times, especially when we are freshmen, we are all alone. It’s like nobody cares. We feel like ugly aliens with big, frightened eyes. We don’t want to come to school we want to go home. We feel like nobody likes us. We’re different. Then we find someone or something. That person or thing gives us a special feeling. Like we belong. We are accepted for what we are, as individuals. We feel as if finally, somebody does care about us. And that feeling gets us through some really rough times. Those feelings and times are part of growing up. Being exactly the same as everyone else doesn’t mat- ter so much. Sure, certain things still matter. Like win- ning the Homecoming game, getting an “A” on semes- ter tests, or having something to do on a Saturday night. But we grow out of wanting to be a carbon copy of our classmates. We want to be unique. To stand out in some special way. As Seniors, we start to become comfortable with outselves. Things seem all safe and secure again. Then all of a sudden it hits us — We have to move on; we don’t have any choice. We won’t be class president; we won’t get another shot at Claflin; There won’t be another Junior-Senior prom. We knew that we would have to leave our friends sometime. Even when we were Freshmen, we knew we wouldn’t always be together. It just never seemed like the time for us to leave each other would come. But it did. We graduated, everybody cried, even some of the boys. We all knew things wouldn’t be the same ever again. We won’t be together. But, we’ll always be in each other’s thoughts. How can we forget those people we grew up with? We won’t, because no matter how far away we get or how high we go, we will return. Old friends and memo- ries will always hold a special place in our hearts. The place we grew up. Ellinwood High School. EAGLE TER- RITORY. Our home.

The clock ticks away as the center grabs the ball and leaps high in the air for the basket it goes in. Fans scream, coaches and play- ers hug, and faces smile every- where, except on the other side. That is excitement. That speeds the heartbeat of an Eagle. It depends on the student, of course, as to whether something is exciting or not. For example, breaktime for the kids consists of talking with friends and stuffing rolls in their mouths. Pulse-rates are normal during this time. But, an overly-dry doughnut or a dropped orange juice bottle usually in- creases the tempo. The thumps of a heart are slower in the morning. Getting out of bed and crawling around trying to find some clothes is not an overwhelm- ingly exciting experience. Nor is a bus ride to school. Scenery doesn’t change much from day to day. And for those who lived in town, excite- ment was deciding whose yard to cut across each morning. Listening to a lecture given by a talk a tive teacher can last forever and cause a throbbing heart to nearly come to a stopping point. Things pick up a bit after bending over to retrieve the pencil that was dropped and finding instead a note from that special someone. A sophomore reaches into his Eagle Territory locker expecting to touch a book, and touches instead a mouse. An- other discovers leftover macaroni and cheese from lunch, another finds toothpaste between books. The seniors laugh. mpo Some say you must have a strong heart upon entering Eagle Territory. Nonsens . Rumors of heart attacks are simply that. Why, there hasn’t been one since Hello?

Exciting last year of free thinking The 1982-1983 school year was a year filled with excitement. It was the year of the Tylenol scare. Seven people in the Chicago area died after taking Tylenol laced with cyanide, and 240,000 bot- tles were recalled. It was the year of the football strike. Profes- sional players went on strike but the Eagles didn’t. While the pros were waiting for more money, the Eagles were advancing to district playoffs. It was the year that President Reagan sent Marines to help stop fighting in Lebanon. In- volved in their own battles, the Ellinwood Vol- leyball team defeated the Hesston Swathers to become the Sub-State Champs. It was a year of great advancement in the medical field. Barney Clark lived 112 days with an artificial heart, and in April, the first test-tube twins were born. For government, it was a year of change. Yuri Andropov, former head of the K.G.B. took over as head of the Soviet Union when Leonoid Brezhnev died after 18 years of ser- vice. George Schultz replaced Alexander Haig as Sec. of State and Ron McCrary replaced Jerome Huslig as Mayor of Ellinwood. The severance tax pitted East against West in one of the hottest issues in Kansas. It was a year of new fashion trends. Mini- skirts. leg warmers, “prep” and “punk” clothes were just a few of the new styles on the fashion scene. 1982-1983, will it go down as the last year man was able to think freely? Will George Orwell’s predictions in the book “1984” come true? At any rate, it was a year filled with excite- ment. And for some of us. it was our last year at Ellinwood High School. 6 FLYING LOW (above) 1982-83’s gym floor. Jr. Craig Amerine was asked by the School Board to paint an Eagle on the gym floor.

(Photo by Ahrens) 7 Juniors beat Seniors in spirit week contest The annual Spirit week, a week when almost any- thing goes, was won by the Junior class. Each day 10, 20, 30 or 40 points were given to the classes by a panel of teachers who served as secret judges. The points were awarded for the amount of participation by the students. Punk Rock day, a day some students painted their faces, dyed their hair and wore garbage bags, was easily won by the seniors. Twin day. Crazy day and Prep day, were all won by the Juniors. After a two-year absence the bonfire pep assembly was reinstated. The announcement of Mr. Irresistable and the Su- per Spirit award winners were announced at the bon- fire. Senior Matt Menges was crowned Mr. Irresista- ble by persuading the most girls to talk and give up their hush buttons. He won a giant Hershey Kiss. The super spirit award went to the Junior class with 150 points, followed by the Seniors, 120 points; sopho- mores, 70 points; and Freshmen, 60 points. No points were awarded for Fridays Dress-up day, but it went over well as everybody was back to normal again. Approximately 40 students volunteered to paint Main street merchant’s windows in preparation for the Gathering of the Eagles. Spirit week was very successful and it carried high spirits on into the homecoming game against Kinsley which the Eagles won 45-0. during spirit week. As the week went along, more students got involved with the activities as they saw their friends taking part. Crazy Day was the most successful day of the week, (photo by Ahrens) 8 THREE STOOGES?

Graduates from as far back as 1914 and as far away as Alaska returned for the “Gathering of Eagles,” a reunion of approxi- mately 1500 former graduates. The festivities started with the crowning ceremony Friday after- noon. Seniors Monte Miller and Sta- cie Brown served as emcees for the ceremony, calming the nerves of the candidates and amusing the au- dience by cracking jokes about each of the candidates. Chosen by the football team, King Jay Ingalls crowned Patty Harrington, who was chosen queen by the student body. To close the ceremony, Senior Darrell Seitz sang the theme song “Up Where We Belong,” and the cheerleaders led the audience in the school before going downtown for a city-wide pep assembly. THE ROYAL COUPLE. Patty Harrington and Jay Ingalls were elected as the 1982-83 queen and king. After the football team defeated Kinsley, students returned to the gym and danced to the music of Blue Bird. Open Arms by Journey was dedicated to the couple. (Photo by Ahrens) IN THE SPOTLIGHT, (right) Senior Darrell Seitz was chosen by the Student Council to sing the homecoming theme song during the coronation.

About three weeks before school was out, Senioritis struck three-quarters of the student body. The juniors were trying to get ready for Prom, the freshmen and sophomores were ready to get out and the seniors were pretending to be ready for graduation, when all the while they weren’t fooling anyone. For the seniors, the coming of the final weeks of school brought home the harsh fact that high school was almost over. They only had a few more weeks together as a class. Before long they would all go their separate ways. Deciding to make the best of it, they prepared for the last formal party of their high school years. Prom 1983 was a complete success as far as most were concerned. Students and teachers alike danced to the music of Myth. After prom, the group split up to attend one or more of the various parties and breakfasts held in their honor. The final week of school was a week filled with anxi- ety and sadness for most seniors. It was the time to clean out lockers, finish up semester tests and say good-bye to old friends. It was the time to close the doors an high school and look ahead to see what the future held. Graduation was the crowning moment for the seniors. Following the traditional Invocation and recognition of retiring personnel, the 55 member class was pronounced graduated and each member was presented a Certificate of Attendance, with diplomas mailed later.

(Photo by Ahrens) 13 Common feelings shared during graduation exercise Drawn together by a common bond, 55 students gath- ered on May 15 in the high school gymnasium to participate in graduation exercises. These seniors shared common feel- ings of excitement, anxiety, and fear of the future and of leaving friends. Deanna Wilson captured the feelings of most in the opening of her valedictorian address: “Friendships are here today - gone tomorrow. Remember laughing together. Remember crying together. We’ll take these memroies with us wherever we go.” Principal Don Caffee shared a letter written by a mother and a reply written by a principal. The letters brought out that not only does a student benefit and grow from his teachers’ influences, the teachers are enriched by the pres- ence of the students. Salutatorian Tim Vogt and Guest Speaker Rev. Goetzke addressed the crowd with a common message about goals and success. Other events of the evening included performances by the Concert Choir, who sang “I Sing the Body Electric,” and the Mystic Blues, who sang “Forever.” GOOD LUCK!

A complete education doesn’t come from cracking the books every night. It doesn’t come from sitting in class sev- en hours a day, five days a week, thir- ty-six weeks a year for twelve years. To receive a complete high school education, students must get involved. For most students, that involvement is extra-curricular activities in the forms of sports, music, clubs, and stage pro- ductions. Involvement in club activities is a release for excess energy. For in- stance, an FCA member needs energy in order to shoot blanks and throw dead birds at the yearly dog trials. Excess energy is also released when students forget lines, trip over props, and break out with giggles during musicals and plays. Not only did the Eagles show off on stage, they shined on the dance floor. The Eagles turned it loose the night after semester tests and danced to the beat of the disc jockey’s music and light show. The “Mid-Term Celebra- tion” (sponsored by Stuco and Kayettes) revived the students after two grueling days of testing. Speaking of Stuco, to whom do we owe our extra pounds? Blame that on our elected representatives. Every day two council members selling calorie- laden donuts were mobbed by starving young people trying to tide their hun- ger pangs over till lunch. And speaking of food, pigs were important at EHS this year. The FFA butchered, preocessed and sold a pig. The band on the other hand, just cooked one. The language clubs got into the act by making pigs of the stu- dent body by selling German candy and sponsoring a Roman banquet. Honor students, not to be left be- hind, pigged out at the Kayette’s Egg- head Banquet. At the banquet, speaker Jack Rob- ert told the eggheads to “waste” themselves. To get so totally involved with something that it would consume their time and energy. Yes, for any student who wasted his time on extra-curricular involvement, the high-school years would become important memories.

Since Stuco sponsors Homecoming, and it was the Gathering of the Eagles, there were plenty of things to do. They revived the Powder Puff football game, held a window painting contest, and sponsored the annual Homecom- ing dance. Stuco also sponsored two or three more dances, including an After Scrimmage Scramble and a Mid-Term Celebration. Besides having dances, the Student Council showed “The Apple Dump- ling Gang” film before Christmas. Two major projects were the brick sign outside the school, and a banner that is to be put in the gym. PAINTING FUN.

Elected during the 81-82 school year, the Board consisted of President Debbie Spring, Vice President Jamie Kasselman, Sr. Diana Wilson, Juniors Barbara Biays, Shairlyn Ca- sey, Kim Doll, Sophomores Christie Detmer, Elizabeth Fertig, Megan Mohn, Diane Muller and Jodi Sateran. Each month the board planned different activities for their meetings. In November, the Kayettes discussed rape prevention with a representative for the Great Bend Crisis Center. They also chose the names of their Secret Sisters. Each girl revealed herself to her Secret Sister at the Christmas Party in December. In January the girls shed their chothes and put on the sweats for a special lesson in aerobic dancing. Byron Hauser acted as D.J. for the Mid-Term Celebration Dance held Jan. 15th. After a last minute debate, it was decided by the Board to sell Valentine’s Day flowers even though they would cost $.150 each. Students had their choice of red, pink, pep- permint or yellow carnations with none of the colors having a stated meaning this year. Other activities sponsored by the Kayettes included the Kayette Potpourri, the Ma, Pa and Me Banquet and the 24th Annual Egghead Banquet. A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE.

The club helped with school, com- munity and state projects. Members attended the fall and spring Mini-Con- ferences at Rock Springs Ranch. At Christmas, the members exchanged notes with a personal message instead of gifts. Members helped with the Dog Trials held at Quivera Refuge. They also joined in a state and national jog- a-thon to raise money for the state and local chapter. Although the number wasn’t there, the club members kept up the purpose to help Christian teenagers with their problems. FCA (front row) Soph.

Daron Ruckman was elected President; Martin Ahrens, Vice-President; Andy Ernsting, Secretary; Keith Sauber, Treasurer; Jay Ingalls, Reporter; and Doug Carpenter, Sentinel. The officers, under the direction of Howard Wallace, planned the year’s activities. At each monthly meeting, different speakers were asked to present a program to the future farm- ers. Wallace and the officers also planned the money-making projects for the year. To raise money, the club sponsored a bake sale and a sausage sale. The club also sponsored the FFA auction. The Auction was the outlet for the projects created and produced by the FFA members. It was not intended as a money-making project but any profit made would be used by the club for future activities.

There they participated in academic tests, athletic competitions, and other activities. They came back from Norman with ideas on how to make their local chapter better. One idea that the club pursued was the completion of the local scrapbook. The scrapbook was declared officially “finished” on the way to state convention in Salina on April 19. There members took academic tests, participated in College Bowl, entered art projects and played volleyball. The club received third in upper-division College Bowl and third in volleyball. Spring served as the Kansas JCL Treasurer during the 1982-83 school year. To raise money, the club helped run the concession stand, served the FFA banquet with the German Club and sold planning calendars. Club officers were Spring, president; Diana Wilson, vice president; Deanna Wil- son, treasurer; Haddon, secretary; and Lori Starnes, historian. 26 THE FINAL MEETING.

(Photo by Reynolds) Gummi bear profits pay for pizza party German club members elected junior Lori Buckbee as their president at the first meet- ing. The vice presidency was assumed by senior Susan Strobl and sophomore Tom Barrow became treasurer. Barrow’s job was to take care of the club’s funds. The funds came from money-making projects. The members sold gummi bears and flower bulbs to raise money. Gummi bears are imported candies from Germany that according to sophomore Lisa Beopple “the junior high kids bought like crazy.” With all that money just lying around, the club decided they should do something with it. One plan for spending the money was to travel to Great Bend in April and go skating at the Skate Center and then go for pizza at Godfather’s. Club members also spent time on the road on their way to Wichita. They attended a Wichita Wings soccer game while in the city. Strobl said, “soccer is very big over in Germany. And because we’re a German club, it only makes sense that we would go see the Wings in action.” GERMAN CLUB, (front row) Lisa Boepple. Kristi Flink, Vicki Oberle. Lori Starnes.

The directors, Vern Fryberger, Wilber Hogg and Leon Sobba were blessed with experienced and talented students. Senior Cathy Petz ended her fourth high school musical by doing and excellent job of getting inside her character, Eliza Doolittle. Despite little pre- vious stage experience, Doug Hood did an outstanding job as Henry Higgins. The leads can not go on without the support of the entire cast. According to Director Wilber Hogg each member of the cast strongly supported the total scene, which was especially difficult because their caracters spoke with a cockney accent. Like having the right accent, costumes are important to setting the mood of a musical. Said Mike Westerman, costume designer, “The more accurate you can get the costumes to fit the period of the play, the easier it is for actors to get into character.” The cast included Cathy Petz. Doug Hood. Susan Strobl, Darrell Seitz. Tim Vogt. Scott Rhoades. Tony Thill. Brenda Schartz. Shairlyn Casey, Barbara Biays, Karen Schrader. Monty Fox. Darlene Komarek. Elizabeth Fertig, Leah Sobba. Steve Petz, Mike Rhoades. Jonathan Hogg. Luke Sobba, Russell Brown. Kayla Ulm, Becky Hood. Patty Collins. Candy Saling, Sherla Biays and Michelle Fox. The production staff: Mike Westerman.

Bouncing basketballs, passing footballs, spiking volleyballs, and jumping hurdles are all ways of oc- cupying after-school time for cer- tain students throughout the year. Ellinwood High School has a sport for almost everybody, and the thrill of being part of a winning team is available through the athletic pro- gram. One of the best things about the athletic program is the school’s no- cut rule. A student doesn’t have to be a “superjock” to make the team. The word “tryout” isn’t even heard of in this place. Any student with the guts to go out and the fortitude to stick out the practices can be of help to his teammates. But sometimes it takes more than determination, more than courage, more than skill to succeed in a contest of athletic ability. For instance, everyone knows that a basketball player must be swift, smart, and eager to help the team. But does it ever cross a person’s nind that a player must have a good set of underwear? It would surprise the fans to see a player, who instead of running in for a lay- up, dashes off the court and heads for the locker room, returning to the game with a sheepish grin only to say, “sorry, it was an emergen- frying potatoes. With a bus load of kids eyeballing their every move, it’s no wonder it takes over two hours to get the last order fixed. By then, it’s time to head home. The poor guy who was at the end of the line gets the honor of eating his order on the bus. Besides free hamburgers, sports provide a number of things for the Eagles - an outlet for excess energy, a way to make the school year go faster, and a chance to excell at Eagle Triumph cy, my bra sirap broke. After the game, the winners might talk the coach into stopping at McDonald’s for a couple of big macs. We Eagles always seem to time our arrival perfectly, right around closing time. It’s fun to watch the McDonald’s crew going crazy flipping hamburgers and something other than academics. Certainly one of the most impor- tant things sports can provide is the sense of satisfaction, that special triumphant feeling, that people gain from knowing they have helped their teams become victori- ous.

Track Athletes given special recognition Over 100 students who participated in EHS sports were recognized at the Athletic Banquet and the Awards Assembly, but three students received special recognition for their efforts and willingness to help others. Three Ronald G. Brown Memorial-Most Inspirational Athlete Awards were given to senior boys who participated in football, basketball, or track. The award was started in 1968 as a memorial to Ronald Brown who was killed while running after track practice during his senior year at EHS. This year only two Ronald G. Brown awards were given, as there were no senior boys out for track. Jim Helfrich received the award for his hard work in football. Helfrich lettered for four years as an offensive lineman and a defensive tackle. Ed Ward received the award in basketball. Ward was a starter for three years and lettered for four years. The Outstanding Girl Athlete was awarded to a girl, not necessarily a senior, who put forth the most effort and who was the most inspirational to her team. The award which started in 1981, was first won by a sophomore, Patty Harrington. Harrington won the award again her senior year. She lettered in track and basketball all four years and played volleyball for three MOST INSPIRATIONAL ATHLETE BASKETBALL Senior Ed Ward, trying to avoid a foul, stretches around a Fairfield player for a chance to steal his rebound.

Ness City was the first Ellinwood victim as they were defeated in a defensive battle 13-8. The Eagles then trav- eled to Ellis where they easily won 20-7. In the first round of the play- offs the Eagles, with several start- ers out with injuries, faced an unde- feated Smith Center team. The game was fairly even statistically, but the score was not as the Eagles were defeated 37-14. This ended Ellinwood’s season with an 8-2 re- cord. The two teams to defeat Ellin- wood, Sterling and Smith Center, won the state Championship in the 2A and 3A divisions. The homecoming game also ad- ded extra pressure to some of the players as they were playing in front of an estimated 1,500 alumni and former players who returned for the historical “Gathering of the Eagles.” The team handled the pressure well and blanked Kinsley 45-0. Second year coach Bill Seidl said, “I was impressed in the way the players began the year with a good attitude and kept it through- out the season.” Three of the team members, Carl Petz, Jay Ingalls, and Andy Ernsting made honorable mention for the Hutchinson News 3A state team. The Wichita Eagle selected Carl Petz and Jay Ingalls both for of- fense. VARSITY FOOTBALL, (front row) trainer Tim Vogt, Hoyt Kinsinger.

(Photo by Aherns) JV completes season undefeated The Ellinwood Eagle Junior Var- sity football team coached by Ross Friesen and Larry Drees completed their season with an unblemished 7- 0. This accomplishment has oc- cured only four times in the past two decades. This year’s undefeated JV squad used a balanced attack of passing and running. A sturdy line blocked for the backs. They passed for 854 total yards. Rushing followed closely with the backs scrambling for 733 yards. The defense, which held oppo- nents to an average of 7 points a game, was headed by Robert Spring, Dion Hazen, Jeff Rocha and David Schlotthauer who com- bined for 66 unassisted tackles, 155 assisted tackles and 21 behind- the-line tackles. Mike Thill guided the offense and completed 57 of 90 passes for 722 yards and 11 touch downs. Kyle Kasselman led all receivers with 23 catches for 225 yards, fol- lowed by Joe Hammersmith with 12 for 219 and Todd Robins with 14 for 181. Robert Spring, Blake Wells and Gene Peterson led the rushing at- tack with 693 of the 733 total yards and 11 touchdowns. The final game of the season proved the toughest for the Eagles as they scored a come-from-behind victory over Larned 28-20.

When the number one doubles team of Karen Schrader and Stacie Brown ended their season with a third place finish at state, they entered the record books as the first Ellinwood girls’ tennis team to place in a state meet. In their first year of play togeth- er, the twosome enjoyed a highly successful season. They peaked at the end of the season which en- abled them to take third at region- al and advance to state and cap- ture third place by defeating Lyons number two, who had previously beaten them in regionals. As Brown put it, “It was a great way to end my high school tennis career.” Coach Vern Fryberger said the most successful meet for the varsity was the Ellinwood Invitational in which both the number one and two doubles teams took first and the number one and two singles players took second. For the JV players the Sterling JV meet was the best as each of the players placed. Fry- berger commented, “It was a very productive and successful year.” INDIVIDUAL MEDALING 1st 2nd 3rd S.

Senior Stacie Brown gives the opponent something to watch out for. Brown ended the season by taking 3rd at state. Simmons places 11th at state meet One word describing the cross country team this season was “inex- perience Since the school hasn’t sponsored a cross country team for the past five years, carry-over for either coach or members was non- existent. However this lack of exper- ience was offset by the team’s enthu- siasm. For Junior Mary Simmons, noth- ing seemed to make any difference as she went all the way to state where she placed 11th. Mary quali- fied for state by placing second at Russell with a time of 12:42. She finished the season at state with a time of 12:43. Russell was also the most success- ful meet for the boys. This was the first race in which they all competed on the varsity level. Out of nine teams represented they placed fifth. “This year’s team had a lot more talent than expected,” said para- professional assistant coach Glen Welden. “If everybody returns next year and works hard, they should easily qualify for state finals in 1983.” PASSING BY.

For the past two years the girls have been elected in front of a panel of judges who judged them on a group cheer, a solo cheer and their ability to do a catwheel and the splitz. After the elections in the spring the football cheerleaders held one of their two car washes to raise money to go to a cheerleading camp at Ft. Hays State University. At the camp the girls learned new cheers while they earned awards for their efforts. The basketball cheerleaders, who were elected in the fall, held an all school pep assembly bi-weekly to help raise the school and team spirits. Each girl was to be leader for a week and had to come up with a theme or skit for the assembly which ranged from E.T.-Eagle Territory to having male cheer- leaders. Cheerleading sponsor Cindy Austin said, “I feel that the cheerleading squad worked together extremely well this year. They have been very effective despite the inexperience of several squad members.

The average weekday for an Ea- gle consists of waking up and going to school. Going to school is the easy part. Sitting in a classroom for seven hours is the hard part. If the temperature is not quite right, and the subject is a little too boring, the student may find his eyes drooping and his head slowly making its way to the desk top. It is very embar- rassing to interrupt a teacher with a deep snore. Even if the student is a quiet sleeper, he misses out on the next day's assignment and a possible an- swer or two for the upcoming test. If an Eagle is lucky enough to sur- vive the snoring syndroms, he or she may come down with a huge number of other diseases. Paying attention to the class- room activities, teacher or other- wise, is one of them. The teacher may not be as interesting as day- dreaming about the night before, or if one doesn't remember the night before, the next track meet, dance, or just how the next class will start. If the weather is especially nice that day, thoughts about spring and summer plans run through an Ea- gles mind. Spring fever is a disease that even teachers are heard of catching. Forgetting books and meeting deadlines are two more big prob- lems an Eagle faces. Some students have a hard enough time remem- bering when to go to school, where the school is, and how to tie their shoes. Forgetting an important book may leave the student frantic. Others shrug it off and tell the teachers that the book was eaten by a stray dog on the way to school. Deadlines are important to all students and teachers. A student must divide his time well in order to meet a deadline from the previous day, month, or in some cases, year. Getting geared up to study for a test might well be the biggest prob- lem of all. To study for a test, the student should have total concen- tration on the subject for at least a couple of minutes. To sit down and really get in to” a book, an Eagle may surround himself with pretzels, popcorn, Pepsi’s and pizzas in or- der to keep the brain working. And a working brain is one of the things school is all about.

(Photo by Hopkins) Class promotes positive attitude Born to Win was not only the newest class offered during the 82- 83 school year, it was the most con- troversial. Taught by Bette Tran- barger and required of freshmen, the class caused mixed feelings among the students as well as the faculty. The course was designed to help students to obtain a positive attitude about themselves, but some students chose to take excep- tion to the class. Implemented on a two year trial period, the class will be evaluated at the end of that time, and the adminstration will decide whether or not to continue the program.

A total of fifteen students were involved in assisting ele- mentary, and Jr. and Sr. High teachers. Aides were assigned as assortment of duties, such as checking papers, putting up bulletin boards and occasionally work- ing on a one-on-one basis with the stu- dents. In addition to teaching skills needed to work in a library, Reginald Buxton tried to teach students enrolled in Library Sci- ence skills they could use in other jobs. By working at such tasks as sorting mail, shelving books, and filing library cards, the students became aware of procedures used in libraries. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE.

(Photo by Hopkins) Newspaper sets goal to improve The journalism class started the year with just one goal to make this year’s newspaper better than last year’s. This proved to be no easy task. Adviser John Mohn said, “I honestly feel that last year’ pa- per established a standard by which all future publications can be mea- sured.” In the beginning, lack of exper- ience and changes in the staff slowed publication of the paper. Using experience gained from publishing four, four-page papers and journalism tips learned at a K- State workshop, the staff was able to put out their first eight-page pa- per in January. At the end of the year, when ask if he thought the staff had met their goal, Mohn replied, ‘‘Yes.” I’VE GOT TO GET THIS DONE! Terri Burke, editor for the paper, struggles to fit a photo on the front page. From adviser John Mohn’s point of view, the classes’ attitude changed after the publication of their first eight-page which Mohn believed was the turning point of the year, (photo by Ahrens) THE NEWSPAPER STAFF - This year they produced a four paper tabloid every three weeks. Working with a new adviser, John Mohn, they learned to accomplish many goals, (back row) Ed Ward, news editor; Patty Harrington, assistant editor; Terri Burke, editor; Rhonda Welden, feature editor; Monte Miller, sports editor; (front row) Carl Petz, staff writer; Scott Strobl, photo editor; Not pictured Cindy Petz, assistant news editor.

Mohn told the staff they could do the book any way they wanted “but (there always seemed to be some kind of a catch involved) Yearbook staff faces problems If they gained nothing else from the class, the nine yearbook students gained the mean- ing of the word deadline. All work centered around arbitrary dead- lines set up by Editor Rhonda Welden and Adviser John Mohn, to enable the class to complete the book for it’s August delivery. In addition to deadlines, the staff faced other problems. Trademark and copyright laws forced a redevelopment of the theme, and a redesigning of the cover. Susan Strobl placed first in State journal- ism contest in theme development. In re- gional. Martin Ahrens placed 2nd in pho- tography and Donna Feist and Diana Wilson took 2nd in headline writing.

These were the areas of concentra- tion for Basic English and English I instructor Mike Westerman. His students learned the basic writing styles and rules of punctuation needed for success in later courses. In addition, Westerman introduced them to mythology by having them read parts of Homer’s Odyssey and having them write their own “mock epic.” Former school board member and current English II instructor John Mohn utilized The Lively Art of Writing. Students wrote letters, kept journals, and composed es- says. To enhance their writing and make them more aware of journal- istic writing, the students read the Wichita Eagle Beacon. Some of the students found all their “practice writing” paid off after their stories were published in the first eight page edition of the Eagle. LEARNING THE BASICS. Freshman Robbie Smith. Sophs Terry Hamby, and Noel Grubb spent part of the year learning the basic punctuation rules. Westerman used “Building Better English to teach these rules. The students also read several short stories. (Photo by Ahrens) STOP TALKING AND GET TO WORK!

Converse taped her classes for the convenience of absent students. She also used her tapes for students taking outside scheduled hours. (Photo by Carpenter) English involves individual work English III involved more individual work than English I or II. The class, taught by Nancy Converse, required students to be more independent in their study habits. Stu- dents used the text. English 3200, to work on grammar and punctuation rules at an individual pace. Students were chose not to work through the 3200 text were assigned paragraphs each week. Besides learning grammer. students studied English and American literature. English IV students, also taught by Con- verse, concentrated more on literature than grammar. Classical writings, such as Homer's “Odessy, and the Bible, were studied. Converse required both English III and IV students to read a number of books and encourage them to read classics. The Scar- let Letter” and My Secret Self were stud- ied in class. Other selections were read by choice THEY HAVE TO BE IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

(Photo by Ahrens) 63 Appreciating languages Vocabulary seemed to be the common area of study for the 25 students enrolled in the three foreign languages offered at EHS. Spanish instructor, Wilbur Hogg hoped that by the end of the year his students would know approxi- mately 1,000 words and have a solid foundation in the pronounciation of Spanish sounds. Through the use of games such as Scrabble and Monopoly, Hogg tried to instill the basic vocabulary needed for com- munication. Latin and German instructor Vicki Schroeder hoped that by studying a foreign language students would come to appreciate the English language and become more aware of the differences and similari- ties of other cultures. The complications of Latin poetry and structures occupied the minds of Latin III students. Some students sharpened their vocabulary skills by writing to pen pals in Germany. These students also attended the Humanities Festival at Kansas Weslyan. LONG, SHORT SHORT. Senior Diana Wilson scans a line of Latin poetry.

Economics and General Business classes took an in depth look at our nation’s government. Sub- jects such as Reaganomics, the stockmarket, bank- ing and business corporations were studied and discussed by the students. Office practice, which taught students how to work in an office environment, was supervised by the school secretaries. The students typed letters and memos, picked up absentee slips and did many other basic office tasks. Accounting, taught by Larry Vogt, also dealt in the working environ- ment. The class learned book keeping and how to file income taxes and used that knowledge by doing business simulations. In Typing 1, Cindy Austin’s and Karen Snay’s students learned the basics of typing, how to type business and friendly letters and worked on speed drills; the advanced typing class learned how to use a dicto-phone and the proper way to file office papers. Shorthand, which uses characters to sym- bolize words, taught students how to dictate letters in shorthand and then type them back to original form. YOU SURE THIS IS SHORTER? Senior Cathy Jahay concen- trates on making the correct characters on her shorthand test. (Photo by Ahrens) WHERE DOES THIS GO?

While first semester economics students were playing the stockmarket, first-half consti- tution students were learning the ropes of the district court system through first hand exper- ience. Rhonda Welden, Teresa Eiland, Shelly Thomas, Andy Ernsting, Steve Gould, Keith Sauber and Neal Starr acted as county officials and jurers at the Barton Co. Government Day. In early March, the government students traveled to Topeka to sneak a peek at our state’s legislators at work. The students re- turned with negative comments on the actions of our very own representatives. Diana Wilson said they seemed to have a lack of interest for the issues brought before them.

(Photo by Winters) 69 Opportunities for Advancing Math In order to graduate a student need- ed two credits in math. Students could choose from the most basic, General Math, to the most skilled, Advanced Math. Roger Stremel taught all the math classes with the exception of Al- gebra 1, which Leon Sobba taught. The General Math class focused on learning the basics of Algebra. Algebra 1 students solved story problems and graphs by applying algebraic equa- tions they had learned. Geometry students learned how to prove and write formulas to figure vol- ume, depth and height of most geo- metric figures. Algebra 11 students made parabo- las, a curved graph, solved some story problems, and got into the basics of Trigonometry. The Advanced Math class, taken by only a few Seniors, centers around learning Trigonometry and some calculus. IT'S IN THE BOOK.

Geared for non-college-prep stu- dents. Basic Biology was concerned with the earth and various organisms that af- fect it. In Biology, students studied indi- vidual organism and how they are grouped. Students who took General Science under Bill Seidl studied the world and energy. For college-bound students. Leon Sobba taught Chemistry. Physics and Computer Science. Chemistry students studied molecules, gases, solids, and liq- uids. In Physics, students studied light, motion and electricity. Computer stu- dents were taught basic programming. WHERE IS IT?

Because he stressed safety in the shop, all students were required to pass a safety test over the machines in the shop before they began their projects. Shop work was a major part of Vo-Ag also. Howard Wallace combined one or two days of classroom lectures with three to four days of “shop time” in his Vo-Ag classes. Classroom lectures centered around things like grain prices, animal care, and farm management. Stu- dents made such projects as drill presses, stock trailers, round bail feeders and log splitters. General metals, a course also involving work with metal and machines was taught by Mr. Lyle Sanborn. Sanborn retired after 30 years of service. Since joning the staff in 1952, Sanborn has seen the completion of the gym, and the transformation of what was a work- shop to what is now the lunchroom. In addition to gener- al metals, Sanborn taught mechanical drawing and dri- ver’s ed. He once taught a building trades class which was discontinued. When asked how he felt students of today differed from those of 30 years ago, Sanborn replied, “students now don’t work as hard as they did then. It’s not only in Ellinwood, it’s nationwide.” WHAT FUN! Jr. David Schloctermeier enjoys his work as he is thoroughly involved in his sketches during mechanical drawing.

Home ec I students polished their cooking and sewing skills. Students in advanced foods and clothing matched plaids and studied foreign foods. Bachelor living students made down vests and broiled peaches. Family living dealt with relationships and feeligs necessary for a successful, happy life. Students in crafts learned “leisure time” skills. I HOPE THIS IS RIGHT! Seniors Jim Codner and Linda Jensby work together on a sewing project in Bachelor Living. (Photo by Casey) 76 SEAMSTRESS.

The girls, under teacher Karen Snay. were heavily involved in weightlifting as opposed to other years. They also climbed the rope, ran and played active games But the biggest obstacle they had to over come was fear. Fear of the heights when they finally made it to the top of the rope. Fear of working up a little sweat while running. Fear of being seen by the boys. Self improvement signs were given to the girls for overcoming difficult tasks. The Freshmen boys, under Bill Seidl, lifted weights, ran and played games. Last summer Seidl was involved in improving the weight-lifting program. A special room adjacent to the gym was set aside for the weights. The improvements enabled the P.E. teachers to utilize weights more effectively in their classes. Both freshmen P.E. classes visited the Halstead health museum in Halstead, Ks. second semester. Ross Freisen taught adv. boys while Snay had the adv. girls. These two classes focused more upon body building and skill development rather than the academic aspect. OH 1 MISSED. Sophomore Johnita Roy attempts to kick the soccer ball during Advanced P.E.

The Art I, II, and Honors Art students went through a series of drawing exercises involving shapes, lines and angles to help produce a better, larger, more detailed piece of artwork. Many students won various honors at art and photography contests. At the Scholastic Art Awards in Wichita, Ellinwood took over in the print-making category. Shairlyn Casey, Christi Detmer, Kristi Eldridge, Donna Feist, Steve Gould and Megan Mohn were Gold Key finalists. Martin Ahrens and Jeff Whitmer were accepted into the show with their pencil drawings along with Rod Ahlgrim and Laura Hopkins in photography. The Great Bend Library also held a contest where the photog- raphy students swept the honors. Martin Ahrens took 1st, Shelly Winters 2nd, Ty Welsh 3rd, and Linda Jensby received honorable mention.

The chorus, consisting of sixty-five students, performed at three concerts, and League and Regional contests. The Mystic Blues also performed at con- certs, and League and Regional contests. In addition, they also went on to receive a I rating in the State Contest. The select group stayed busy this year doing special perfor- mances at the Gathering of the Eagles, and at various social functions in the community. A few members of the singing groups took solos to the League, Regional and State con- tests. Two of the members, Sr. Darrell Seitz and Soph. Monty Fox, received superior rat- ings at the State contest in Sterling. TAKING IT EASY. Mystic Blues members Juniors Scott Rhoades and Tony Thill, Soph. Mike Thill.

(Photo by Strobl) Free time spent getting lost while visiting Dallas “Where ya all from?” was a question answered many times by band members who took a chartered bus, Louie’s Leisure Line, to the Six Flags Music Festival in Dallas, Texas. Prior to Dallas, the band had received a “II” at the CPL concert band competition and a “III at Regionals. At Dallas the band played to the best of their ability but could only receive critiques because of Kansas regu- lations. The contest gave the students a chance to exper- ience and be critiqued at a national level. Band members spent free time getting lost and visiting famous sites around Dallas. Sites such as the John F. Kennedy Memorial, Six Flags over Texas, Southfork Ranch (from the TV show Dallas) were seen. Some members met Zig Zigler, author of “I Can.” A freshman initiation took place at the hotel pool, in which almost all freshmen and the Gordons were taken from their rooms and thrown in the swimming pool. For the marching band, it was the standing ovation following their half-time show at the “Gathering of Ea- gles” that inspired the band to get a “1” rating at the Fort Hays Marching Festival held the next day. Prior to this, the band has received a “III” at the Wichita State Marching Festival. The EHS Colorguard, on the other hand, brought home the first place trophy from Wakoma Oklahoma Colorguard competition. They were the first colorguard from Kansas allowed to compete for an award out of state. In outdoor competition, the guard received II ratings from both the Wichita State Marching Festival and the Fort Hays State Marching Festival. SERIOUS MOMENT.

(Photo by Welden) 85 Special highs and lows magnified in future Eagles are classified according to their academic status. After starting as a freshman, they earn “credits” which enable them to be called sophomores, juniors and seniors. Most of them keep up their credits and automatically move to the next class. Each general category brings its own special highs and lows. For ex- ample, the highlight for a freshman might be dragging Main with a friend; for a sophomore, getting the car from mom and dad; for a junior, having enough gas in the car to drag Main in Great Bend. But for seniors, the highlight is doing what they please, with their own car, their own friends, and their own gas. Since EHS doesn’t have an initi- ation ritual for the 9th graders, they are initiated instead by the stares and giggles of upper classmen. If an upper classman does talk to them, it’s usually to borrow a dime or to ask a favor. Sophomores are at the in-be- tween age. They can pick on the freshmen and yet are the picking point of the juniors and seniors. Needless to say, a sophomore’s life can be pretty dull unless he hap- pens to be “good buddies” with an upper classman. A junior sells magazines, he runs around trying to present a memora- ble prom to the seniors and he looks forward to “next year” when his class will be the best class around. A junior is like a little brother or sister, as soon as the older sibling leaves, he has a fling moving into the other’s room and trying on clothes that weren’t taken in the move. The seniors are the top dogs. When an Eagle is a senior, he an- nounces to everyone that when he leaves, the school will disintegrate, sports records will drop, and all the Thinkers teachers will pack up their bags and leave. But the seniors are suscept- ible to a dreaded disease which strikes the majority towards the end of the school year. It’s called “Senioritis.” At the point where they should be able to do the most - they do the least. But before the lethargy proves fatal, they graduate and car- ry with them the great “traditions” of their special class which are in- evitably magnified throughout fu- ture years.

(Photo by Ahrens) Seniors go separate ways Our senior year is over, and we’re all getting ready to go our seperate ways. Graduation is the end of one part of our lives and the beginning of another. At the first of the school year, it’s easy not to think about leaving. May 15 is a long way from August 22.

Maybe Sr. Stacie Brown is afraid of Kansas winds, or maybe she misses her teddy bear. Memory of friends will always remain During the last couple of months of the senior year, things change. Ever- ything moves so fast; nobody has time to think about what’s coming up. At least not in any rational way. Everyone is excited about graduating. Graduation brings decisions about additional education. Where to go, what to study, how much can be af- forded. The decisions that will affect a life- time. These decisions help graduates learn independence. This new-found independence is the biggest change after graduation. In the fight to become independent and learn to make the right decisions, seniors invariably reflect back to their years in high school. They realize school wasn’t that bad. The classes were just classes, but the people made it special. Friends are the most important part of school. Because when you think about school, you think about the spe- cial people and your memories of them. We might be leaving friends, but we won’t be leaving memories of friend- ships. Memories of special friends are forever. And you can take your memories with you always. Kenny Ward Shelley Ward Rhonda Welden Ty Welsh Bob Werner Jeff Whitmer Deanna Wilson Diana Wilson Shelly Winters Juniors Realize They Have Only One More Year To Go What’s the best thing about being a junior? “Finally being an upper classman,’’ stated Kim Doll. Once you become a junior, you’ve got the last, but best half of your high school years ahead of you. Prom is a major part of any junior’s year. Selling maga- zines and coming up with a good theme can be one of the most frustrating things a junior has to deal with. Once prom is over and they realize they never have to do it again, most juniors admit working on prom decorations with their friends was a lot of fun. At the end of the junior year comes a moment of sadness when they realize they only have one more year to go. This feeling is quickly replaced with one of excitement, because no matter how much fun the past was, they can’t help wondering what the future holds. TOUCHDOWN!

That’s the typical sopho- more attitude. In many ways, being a sophomore leaves you in the middle. You’ve made it past being a freshman and being pushed around in the halls, but you’re not quite an “upper classman.’’ Turning sixteen and being able to drive “legally” is all the initiative some sophomore guys need to start dating. Others prefer to “party” only with friends of the same sex con- tending that there will be plenty of time for that “other stuff” later. Girls and guys alike look forward to late April or early May when they get to order class rings. Although they don’t get the rings until the beginning of their Junior year, it’s still an exciting time. A class ring is a status symbol. Once you’ve got it you’re officially an “upper classman.” Hey, Dudes!- Jim Breitkreutz and Robert Spring are twinning it up during school.

Semester test!” These were some of the comments heard during the course of the year from the eager and hopeful class of 1986. Freshman seem to always get the short end of the stick. If it’s not aggravating enough to be pushed to the end of the lunch line it’s getting to be the guina pig for every teacher or coach just because some upper classman would always volunteer you. Being a freshman sometimes meant going clear around the school, even in the winter, just because you were too afraid to walk down main hall because some senior might hassle you. (Usually they wouldn’t know you had walked by.) Sometimes you might even get a hello (wasn’t that a relief?) Hoyt Kinsinger’s distinct words were, “I’m glad I’m in High School because 1 can get in good with the older guys so they won’t pick on me.” Russell Brown’s comments were that he was happy to finally make it to High School, it really made him feel “cool.” New Bools James?

Those are some of the responsibil- ities of the adults associated with the school system. The teachers at Ellinwood, well qualified for their subjects, were backed by a board that stressed quality in education. But still the teachers often wondered whether the lecture they just gave made an impact on anybody or was a waste of time. Certainly, some days they felt that there was no reason to teach because there were few rewards. For some, the rewards came when they re- viewed their students accomplishments at the end of the year. For others, it was those returning students asking for advice to prove that something valuable had occured during those classroom lectures. At the start of the year, the school board was faced with finding a replacement for journalism teacher Tony Furse, who re- signed after two years here to teach at Great Bend. At the end of the year they sought replacements for Lyle Sanborn and Bill Seidl. Sanborn retired after 31 years as a vocational teacher in the Ellinwood school system. Seidl left teaching to operate a sporting goods store in Nebraska. During the year the board approved the addition of a room for detention onto the office and the lowering of ceilings in the halls for the fall of ’83-84. They evaluated the progress of building positive attitudes through “Born to Win” and the success of the remodeling of the home economics room. Ruth Corbett School Nurse Fred Meyer Business Manager “In this time of economic pressures, stu- dents should have at least a high school education in order to assure themselves of the opportunity to compete for jobs in the future.” Don L. Caffee Don L. Calfee High School Principal “The 1982-83 school year can be assessed as a good year with few problems. However, we need to re-dedicate ourselves, teachers and students alike, to bring about academic improvement.” William F.

But how many of them think of the other people who help, the busdrivers, the cooks, and the custodians? Every morning dozens of stu- dents relied on the busdrivers to get them to and from school. Getting up about the same time as the busdrivers, the cooks pre- pared nutritionally balanced meals for those who chose to take advan- tage of the lunch program. Although their main duty was to keep the school clean, the janitors were never too busy to chat with students in the hall. MMM GOOD. The school cooks dish out tasty. Martha Brewer.
