The sun shines down and a gentle breeze blows autumn leaves to the ground. Students gather around the Ellin- wood High School sign and mingle with each other. Some drink their pop, some toss a football back and forth. Two senior girls tease a 220-lb senior guy about how sore he is from Friday night's football game. He gets a backrub to relieve the tension.

A red pickup roars past the front of the school with the radio blaring out sounds from Bon Jovi. Inside a teacher leans against the pop machine, talking with several students. He laughs as they play Human Pinball with un- suspecting freshmen, but he soon brings the game to a halt. Another student stands in front of the candy machine trying to decide whether to buy a candy bar, a pack of gum, or some Lifesavers. At 12:43, the groups begin to break up and students make their way to fifth hour. Ellinwood High School covers the block on East Second street in the center of town, the biggest business in this town of 2,800. Small town kids, but not simple. They are, in fact, simply unique.

In seven exciting World Series games, the New York Mets rallied back to defeat the Boston Red Sox. The Mets, one strike from defeat, staged several re- markable comebacks to deny the Red Sox their first World Series victory in 68 years. Ray Knight, third baseman for New York, captured the honorable award of Most Valuable Player. Len Bias, basketball star from the University of Maryland, died from a co- caine overdose on June 19. After a long investiga- tion of the basketball pro- gram, school officials asked coach Lefty Dries- dall for his resignation.

At the movies, Top Gun was one of the pre- mier shows of the year. Other popular movies in- cluded “Back to School, “The Color of Money,” and American Anthem. NATIONAL 4 MINI-MAG WORLD For journalists around the world, the cry was Danfloff As school was starting, 1986 was coming to a close. Nicholas Daniloff was accused and later im- prisoned by the Soviet Union in Moscow for being a spy of the U.S. Daniloff, a news correspondent for U.S. News and World Re- port magazine, was held in exile for about 20 days. Ronald Reagan and Mik- hail Gorbachev went to Reykjavik, Iceland for the super power summit meet- ings. Reagan and Gorba- chev could not agree on the idea of Reagan's Stra- tegic Defense Initiative (SDI), which concluded with bad feelings from both sides. DAN1LOFFS AT EMBASSY.

(Great Bend Tribune) MINI MAG 5 STATE____________ ‘Sin amendments’ pass, Hayden governor Kansas. The people of this Bible Belt state de- cided that they were not going to be left behind any- more. On Nov. 4, 64% of the voters said “yes in favor of constitutional amend- ments that will authorize pari-mutuel wagering and a state run lottery. Le- galizing those two forms of gambling was a first in the state's 125-year history. Meanwhile, with amaz- ing support, liquor-by-the- drink was legalized with a margain of 60% in favor to 40% against. It put an end to the era when “the open saloon shall be and is here- by forever prohibited. And in the gubernatorial race, Republican Mike Hay- den won the Kansas gov- ernorship with 51.9% of the votes by riding a re- lentless flow of votes from rural areas to a tense but decisive victory over Tom Docking. Docking’s dream of becoming a third gen- eration governor fell short. The Kansas State foot- ball team scored a 29-12 victory over the Kansas Jayhawks on Oct. 18 at the KSCJ stadium. But the real excitement occured later that night down at Aggie- ville. A crowd estimated at 4,000-6,000 broke signs and windows, threw bottles, and burned a park- ed car. KGs hope for a return to national dominance in basketball rested upon Danny Manning's wing (and a prayer) because they lost three starting seniors after the appearance in the final four one year ago. KG was picked in preseason polls to finish second in the Big Eight to Oklahoma and twenty-first in the FARM DEDICATION.

How about you?” the other re- plies. “I don't know. I’m hungry, but I don't want to eat here. I didn't sign up anyway. Do you want to go uptown with me?” “Not really. I think I'll just hang around here and do nothing.” “Okay. I'm going to run up to Pop 'N Shop and get something to drink. You want me to get you any- thing?” “No thanks. I'll just help you with yours.” Yeah, right. See ya later.” She sits down in Main Hall. People pass through. Some sit down and relax to enjoy the 40-minute noon hour. Students beg re- luctant Stuco members to open the candy and pop machines. Candy bars cost 45 cents and a 12 oz. can of pop costs 35 cents. Downtown, candy bars cost 45 cents and pop costs 50 cents. A girl approaches the first girl who didn't eat. Hey! Ya want to go up- town with me? I won t be very long. Well, I guess. I’m bored just sitting here doing nothing. I don't have any money, but I’ll go along for the ride.” It's 12:25. They walk out the door together. Lori Solem Mark Gould EHS TODAY CHOW TIME. Students stand in the lunchline waiting to get their tray of food. FCA membership soars to record numbers What is so unique about FCA? The unity, the openess, the bond of friendship. All these work together to make FCA truly the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an or- ganization for high school students which is non-de- nominational and not connected to the high school system. “I’m involved in a lot of organizations in school, but when I go to FCA, everyone is so much more open,” said junior Mike Patrick. FCA membership has really soared. At one meeting, nearly 70 people crowded into co-sponsor, Merle Loewen’s base- ment. Last year, we had a lot of people. This year, we have a lot of people, but we also have alot of love within us — something that wasn't there last year,” said senior Mi- chelle Menges, vice-presi- dent of the group. Besides regular Thurs- day night meetings, FCA participated in several other activities. Each fall and spring the group travels to Rock Springs Ranch for a weekend of Christian fellowship. They traveled to Kansas City to watch the Chiefs take on the San Diego Chargers. Before the game, an FCA rally was held and former Chief, Charlie Getty spoke. Lori Salem SINGING OUT.

MINI MAG 7 LOCAL Ellinwood citizens stay put in tough times In spite of an unem- ployment rate which reached 11.3% in August, it was apparent that Ellinwood people had faith in their town and decided to stick it out. Ellinwood was definitely having some economic hardships which were created in both oil and agriculture. Those two businesses were what kept the town financially stable for so many years. And since the price of both oil and grain had dropped, people were left won- dering what they should do now. City administrator Warren Porter admitted that Ellinwood was having some economic difficulties. “There may have to be some structural changes in the livelihoods in a lot of people,” he said. Ellinwood had been working closely with the Mid Kansas Economic Development Com- mission to try and entice new business into the community. Porter said that the odds were one in 40 for a small town like Ellinwood attracting a new business of ap- preciable size. There was a possibility of a new highway proposed to go from Wichita to Hays that would help the com- munity. The proposed highway would benefit the com- munity as a whole even though it may cause some individual businesses to decline, said Porter.

Late-night shoppers and joy-riding teen- agers converge at Pop 'N Shop, the largest late-night grocery sporting goods store in the area. Pop ’N Shop was the place to turn around on the drag, talk to friends, buy a Coke, and just goof off. 8 MINI MAG LOCAL Eugene Huslig EAGLE ABOVE THE CROWD. During the summer, a new water tower was built on the north edge of town to provide additional water for the community. Martin Ahrens LEADER MEW TRACK. A new rubberiz- ed surface replaced the asphalt on the track as the 1986-87 school year began. RAILROAD STATION RENOVATED. The old railroad depot, after many years of ciisuse, was renovated into the new home for the American Legion. Ellinwood experiences change The school board voted in favor of having new track and tennis courts in- stalled. The last time that the track was resurfaced was in the summer of 1979 with asphalt. The new surface consisted of a rub- berized type of material. The new track is really nice. It's fun to run on and it looks a lot better than it used to. The rubberized material makes it a lot easier on your legs, said senior Lori Salem. The city dug into the budget to build a new water tower on the north edge of town. Nick LoBurgio bought Waxy’s cafe from the old owners. The American Legion moved from its former position on First Street to the renovated railroad station on 56 highway. “The new building looks lots better than that old one did. The deck will be a good addition for them to use in the summer, said sophomore Trina Kinsinger. The construction of the new road between Ellin- wood and Great Bend caused disruption of the routine drive to Great Bend. A drive-thru was added to the Dairy Queen to pro- vide customers with better service. Jerome Huslig presided over the city as he served his second term as mayor. Eldon Hamm moved his office building from the basement of the bank to the building that houses Richardson Real Estate. The After Harvest Fes- tival was held once again in the summer. For a money making project, the cheerleaders sponsored a dunking booth at Wolf Park. John and Chris Mohn purchased the Ellinwood Leader from Paul Jones, John Sayler, both of Lyons; and Karl Gaston, Ellsworth. Our motive was to re- turn the ownership to Ellin- wood and give us the opportunity to improve the quality of the Leader and the school journalism de- partment,” said John Mohn, high school publica- tions adviser. Brian Hood MINI-MAG 9 SIMPLY llttfaiLe- h Pep Club brought back to life After nine years Pep Club was reinstated. Pep Club had a mini-cheerlead- ing camp with the cheer- leaders before school start- ed in the high school gym. The Pep Club and cheer- leaders held rallies before the football games and painted signs to plaster the halls. It helped out the cheer- leaders because people were doing things with them, said senior Steph- ani Tien. For traditional Spirit Week, students wore bob- by socks, dressed identi- cally, created uniforms, wore something from a college, and donned their best clothes. Junior Ty Hazen earned the Mr. Irresistible title with the most hush buttons from the girls. Thursday night after cruising up and down Main street in a caravan, stu- dents roared with life at the football practice field pep assembly. A burning Kins- ley dummy toppled from the blazing bonfire while the crowd chanted Go El- linwood, beat Kinsley. The Pep Club did a line dance with the cheerlead- ers, and there was a cake eating contest between seniors Brad Stephens and Jeff W. Carr. Senior Kent Roberts was named Mr. Cool for sitting on a bag of ice during the bonfire pep assembly. Heather Christiansen Justin Knupp EHS TODAY STOMP 'EM.

The Bleacher Bums and the Pep Club. More people are interested in cheering and being part of the group.” Junior Steve Moris Justin Knupp EHS TODAY SPIRIT 11 Senior Kent Roberts, newly crowned Football Homecoming King, stood at center stage. Selected by the football team, Rob- erts, along with the audi- ence, anticipated the an- nouncement of the queen. The 1986 Fall Home- coming Queen is ... do you really want to know? .. .Tristan Mohn. Roberts received the queen's crown from the crown bearer, placed it up- on Mohn's head, and be- stowed the traditional con- gratulatory kiss. Chris Sie- fers and Brian Hood em- ceed the ceremony, and Don Brubaker sang the theme song The Best of Times. Chosen by the student body, Mohn was later es- corted to a throne by the 30-yard line to watch the game with the other mem- bers of her royal court. Wet, drizzle, actually rain, drenched everyone who attended the Home- coming football game. Fans were wrapped up in blankets, hats, scarfs, and carried umbrellas while cheering on the Eagles. Considering the rainy weather, the Eagles hand- led the Coyotes well. Ellin- wood did most of their scoring in fourth quarter play. A last effort touch- down by the Coyotes wasn't enough to surpass the scoring of the Eagles. The Eagles held on to the lead from the start and de- feated Kinsley 23-14. After the game students got down to the tunes of Satin Rage in the high school gymnasium. The dance ended a little after midnight. The night had been simply unique for all.

Instead of enunciating each syllable and wearing respectable costumes, they used as much slang and wore as little clothing as they could get away with. Of course, they could get away with it because the musical was Lil Abner. “I told the kids to throw out anything I've ever taught them in choir, like speaking clearly and using proper English, because everything they say has to sound hick, said Vern Fryberger, choral and musical direc- tor. This musical, taken from Al Capp's world famous comic strip, com- bines a mixture of hillbilly nonsense and sharp, critical humor. Lil’ Abner, the lead part, was given to senior Jerry Rogers who has never had any previous acting experience. I tried out because I saw last year's (musical) and thought it would be a lot of fun, Rogers said, “I like it. It's been a joy working with the cast. Other interesting characters include Evil Eye Fleagle (junior Mark Shields) who walked around in a aura of green and used his triple whammy on everyone; and four Dogpatch wives (senior Kris Vogt, junior Laura Strobl, sophomore Shane Tschopp, and freshman Jean Thill) who gave their scrawny husbands to the gover- nment to make them big and strong. But when the government returned the well-built but now un- feeling husbands, the wives sang Put 'em back the way they wuz. Directors Vern Fryberger, Leon Sobba, and Wilber Hogg, with the help of Mike Westerman, costume designer, and Eydie Klassen, accom- panist, kept the student actors in line and in character. The stage and makeup crew, consisting of students, also had demanding jobs. They took care of all the spotlights, scenery, and makeup in the show.

Mark Gould EHS Todav Honor roll requirements stiffened In an attempt to stiffen the academic requirements and reward students for special achievements, a faculty commit- tee initiated a new honor roll. “What we really wanted to ac- complish with the honor roll was to encourage kids who really have to work to make the honor roll and to distinguish ones with higher honors, said principal Don Caffee. Teacher Larry Vogt who served on the committee that came up with the new system stated his view. I think it's an improvement over the system that we had in the past because it doesn’t allow students to make the honor roll with D’s. Improvement or not, there were different opinions toward the honor roll. Sophomore Stephanie Westerman opposed the honor roll. I don’t like the new honor roll because I got some of the best grades I've ever gotten and I got on the lowest one.” Students now would have to spend more time studying for cer- tain classes to make the grade acceptable to them and to make the high honor roll. For this mat- ter, the system has proved to be beneficial. Sophomore Shane Tschopp agreed, In a way, I like it because it makes you work harder. However, junior Todd Fertig did not feel the same way. The people who care are going to get good grades anyway with or without the new system.

Art instructor, Ed Sturtz, sets up a place for art work done by Art 1 students for the Big Show in the gym. Allan Zuhars EACiLE CHECKING IT OUT. Looking at a newly developed roll of film, senior Carol Lathrop inspects the work of another student during photography class. According to photography teacher, Ed Sturtz, whose photography enrollment bounced up from other years, most studen- ts don't know anything about a camera when they stroll into his class. Before they leave, he teaches them how to use a camera, how to study the lighting, how to use the proper film, and most importantly, how to deal with composition. Sturtz said, I try to get the student to look at the subject matter in different angles, a variety of lighting situations so that their photograph will demand people to stop and look at it for a long time because it's making a good clear statement. Photographers need to be in- telligent and creative individuals. Sturtz said, Serious photography is a subject that challenges your ability to think and make decisions that will allow you to make a good strong photograph. You need to be a creative individual in order to solve these problems.” According to Sturtz a good photograph can be of interest to everybody. Heather Christiansen Martin Ahrens LEADER TAKE DOWN.

A lot of kids in the art classes showed a lot of potential and seemed interested in what they were doing, said Sturtz. Sturtz emphasized the four disciplines of art: drawing, ceramics, print-making, and painting. Sturtz said, ‘Those are the things professional artists deal with. I feel art is an important thing in our everyday lives. I think if you can learn to ap- preciate good art you can understand the con- struction of nature.” H «h,rchri� i.n«n Allan Zuhars EAGLE SOLDERING.

DISCOVERING English students explore novels Seniors went back into time by being able to feel the shame with Hester Prynne, escape down the mississippi with Huckleberry Finn, and anticipate the guilotine with Charles Darnay. Students in English IV got a more concentrated study of cer- tain pieces of classic literature. Nancy Converse and her classes studied books like The Scarlet Letter, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Tale of Two Cities. ‘‘I liked Huck Finn the best because that is the way they really talk in Oklahoma,” said senior Brad Stephens. English I students, under Mike Westerman, studied Greek mythology and English grammar. English II students had a new dimension added to the learning process. Instructor John Mohn required his students to read (JSA TODAY once a week and then give a short 30 second report in front of the class. “It forces them to become ac- customed to reading the paper. Also, it is an easy way to help them polish up their public speaking skills, said Mohn. Students in English III, taught by Converse, had the chance to improve grammar skills by working in English 3200. English 3200 is designed to clear up grammar problems that already existed when someone comes into the class. Once com- pleted, it can be applied to im- proving writing and reading skills,” said Converse. Brian Hood Justin Knupp EHS TODAY INST RUCTIONS.

ENGLISH 21 LEARNING--------- Seniors study how government works Government classes teach students a lot about how the country is run. From the economic aspect to the Con- stitutional point of view. Besides that, they are required in order to graduate. Economics, a semester course, shows how money is circulated throughout the U.S., how the dollar rates in value compared to other countries, how the Fed operates, and the business of Wall Street. Each semester, the Econ class, instructed by Larry Vogt, played the Stock Market Game, spon- sored by Kansas State University. Schools across Kansas took part and competed against each other within regions. Constitution, also a semester class, taught by Dick Harrington, goes through the laws set by the Constitution and its amendmen- ts, and explains the duties of each level of government: federal, state, and local. The first semester Constitution class attended the Barton County Government Day. Students ex- perienced how different depar- tments of local government operated and a mock trial was set up for a marijuana case. For those who didn’t choose Economics and Constitution, the year course of American Gover- nment was offered. The same basic issues were covered as in the two semester classes. Study on current issues and the impor- tance of citizens getting involved in their government was em- phasized. Harrington also teaches the required American History cour- se, and Geography 1 and II, elec- tives.

The world revolves around business transactions made everyday. From buying shampoo at Wal-Mart to investing in stocks on Wall Street. Calvin Coolidge once said, The business of America is business. It is up to the youth of America to learn, study, and carry on the practice of commercial trade. Typing, figuring, running a computer, and writing in shor- thand are all skills needed. 1 think everyone should take typing especially if they're going into college, said typing teacher Cindy Hertel,” it's a good course for people leaning towards an of- fice job.” Today, computers have become so much a part of the business world that it is almost vital that people know how to operate one. Along with the excitement of learning to use computers and typewriters, a few chosen studen- ts got to show off their skills at Salina. Several students traveled to Brown Mackie Business College to compete in typing and accoun- ting contests. Students who placed were juniors Laura Strobl, 3rd in typing, and Travis Roth, 2nd in accounting. “It's always a fun time for the kids,” said typing teacher Cindy Hertel. “We've gone for the past four years and this was the first one that more than one student placed in the top three.” Providing students with these office skills will give them a boost for the future.

Advanced biology class extended a full year this year but will be broken into semester classes next year so longer field trips can be taken. According to instructor Robert Robins, the group did take several short field trips to Lake Wilson, the golf course, Arkansas River, and the Great Bend Zoo. Students did various ex- periments with a desert com- munity, microbiology, and taxidermy. All these experiments helped students to understand the dif- ference between a wild and con- trolled environment. 7 tried to keep the class (advanced biology) as Informal as much as possible Robert Robins The other biology classes executed many experiments during the course of the year on plants and their cells, tobacco seeds, fruit flies, earthworms, and frogs. On the experiments, students had to name and classify the subject. Students also kept a notebook over questions in their books and various experiments. In general science, a required freshman course, students made hot air balloons for the Big Show. The course introduced them to biology and other earth sciences. The physics class looked at the behavior of nature and tried to see a relation of order to it. The chemistry class explored atomic and molecular theories. They did experiments and used mathematical methods to predict the behavior of gases, liquids, and solids. Heather Christiansen Eugene Huslig EAGLE PROGRAMMING. Watching intently, senior Jeff W.

Geometry offered students an elective course that dealt primarily with points, lines, and space. Advanced Math class provided students going into math related careers a review of algebra and presented an advanced way of dealing with cer- tain problems. Some juniors and seniors took Consumer Math as a way to complete their math credits for graduation. The course helped improve their basic math skills. Computer Science taught students how to write programs and how computers influence everyday life. Heather Christiansen John Mohn Adviser HERE IT GOES.

Industrial Arts consists of Mechanical Drawing 1-4, general metals, and construction trades, all of which are taught by Monty Enright. The woodworking classes are instructed by Fred Gunn. They provide a way for students to be creative and in- dustrious with their own imaginations. “I like to sit down and draw, said junior Cory Downing. But I was disappointed about the In- dustrial Arts Fair. I thought everyone deserved better placings than they received. Thirty-eight mechanical drawings were submitted to the fair in Hays in April. Thirty-six received white ribbons. Senior Eugene Huslig and freshman Vernon Brokar received red rib- bons for their entries. Senior Scott Dannebohm earned a blue ribbon for the sledgehammer he made in general metals. Senior Tristan Mohn struggled through the year after breaking her drawing arm. She was forced to advance from a beginning Drafting I class to Drafting II, which stressed more theory and fewer drawings. With all the pressure placed on her shoulders, she managed to make it through the year. Woodworking students kept busy all year long making cedar chests, gun cabinets, and other individual projects.

To debate is to deliberate. To deliberate means to consider or discuss carefully. A debate is a formal contest in which two opposing teams defend and at- tack a given proposition. This is exactly what the EHS debaters did. The twelve students carefully gathered up the latest information about the farming problems. After careful research and study, the group began competing against other teams. The team spent most of their Saturdays competing against other teams in tournament action. Getting up in front of a group of people and judges and voicing an opinion of your own is not always the easiest thing. That's why it is important to be able to speak well in front of a group and be confident about what you are saying. The debaters achieved a lot by making it to the state tournament for the first time in several years. Forensics sent eight students to the state tournament. All of which did very well. Eight is the most sent in a long time. Giving speeches is probably what is thought of when the word forenics is heard. Informative speaking, poetry reading, and duet acting are all part of forensics. ‘‘It was a very fine year, said teacher Wilbur Hogg. “We got a lot of things done.” Trina Klnainger Eugene Huslig EAGLE DEBATE TEAM, (seated) Mike Patrick, Doug Brubaker, Audra Knop, Lisa Knop, Woody Wood; (standing) Jimmy Riemann, Grant Bowman, and Diann Krom. 30 DEBATE FORENSICS SPANISH Eugene Huslig EAGLE FORENSICS SQUAD, (front row) Mark Shields, Lisa Knop, Jimmy Riemann, Michelle Menges; (back row) Tim Carpenter, Mike Patrick, Woody Wood, Doug Brubaker, Jerome Petz, and Grant Bowman. Spanish, as we all know, is the Romance language of Spain and Spanish America. When taking a Spanish class, you would try to get the basic under- standing of both grammatics and conversation. The students that took Spanish under Spanish teacher Wilbur Hogg know how fun it can be to learn a foreign language. It's not often you have a teacher who loves to jump and sing about the room while teaching his class. You have to admit, it is funny and it does leave a definite impression in your mind. Maybe it’s a special tactic to make you remember the things that were taught. Whether it works or not, it’s a special technique used only by Mr. Hogg. Studying out of the text books, working in work- books, listening to songs, and learning everyday conversations is basically what the class consisted of. In an actual case of having to communicate with someone who speaks only Spanish, it would be beneficial to have the basics. Even in the United States, situations occur in which it is vital for Americans to have an understanding of the Spanish language. Trina Kinsinger TOUCHING UP.

DEBATE FORENSICS DEBATE 31 PUBLISHING Qualifiers snowbound For seven journalism students, the dream of qualifying for state contest became a reality. But only one student actually made it to Lawrence to compete in the con- test. Sophomore Justin Knupp traveled to Lawrence with his family the Friday night before the contest, expecting the others to meet him the next morning when they came up. But it was not to be. Due to a big snowstorm that hit that night, the bus full of con- test students, who decided to make the trip anyway, had to turn around because the heater, win- dshield wipers, and brakes on the bus were frozen over. “I felt like I was going down with the 3A state championship team, so I felt very empty when we had to turn around,” said John Mohn, journalism adviser. Even though Knupp was very nervous about being the only Ellinwood entry there, he went ahead and competed, and placed 2nd in the photography division - the highest placing ever by an Ellinwood student in that division. ”1 was excited,” said Knupp, “and anxious to get home and gloat to Mohn because on numerous occasions, he had pointed out that I was one of the weakest entries.” Tristan Mohn John Mohn ADVISER WHAT TO DO.

They worked on the newspaper apart from the other staff members. 32 NEWSPAPER YEARBOOK John Mohn ADVISOR NEWS STAFF. Members who worked on the newspaper year around include: (front) Lance Duft, Stephanie Tien, Tonya Sovereign (admanager), Sandy Wornkey, Kent Roberts (editor), Julie Thill (copy sports editor) Journalists set goals Many people have enjoyed flipping through the newspaper to keep up-to-date on the school's current events, social activities, and academic achievements - just as many people enjoy re-reading old yearbooks to remember the fiasco at prom, or winning the state championship, or some girl's fun- ny hair. But who really remembers the people who put their time, effort, and hard work into those publications. Mainly, it's remembered by those people who took that time, effort and hard work to put them out. Eight students enrolled in yearbook and discovered how difficult it was to put out a book and how even more difficult it was to work together. Coping with deadlines and missed deadlines required the staff to give up some of their Thursday and Saturday nights in order to get the yearbook out in time. After school was out and everyone was en- joying their freedom, the yearbook staff came back to complete the yearbook. EHS Today, the school newspaper, had ten students sign up for the yearly course, and twelve students sign up for the semester course. Together they produced 14 editions which were printed in Lyons, averaged eight pages each, and were cir- culated throughout the community as well as the school. Both staffs tried to produce publications that would please their readers as well as gain national recognition through rating services. “It was an up and down year, said publications adviser John Mohn. “The downs probably came because we set goals which often exceeded our reach. The highs came when we reached them.” Tristan Mohn John Mohn ADVISER REMEMBER THIS? From time to time, the yearbook staff looked back on the pages that had been complete and talked about the mistakes made. Senior photographer Eugene Huslig points out an error to staff members senior Brian Hood (sports editor), Junior Allan Zuhars, and senior Lori Salem (copy editor). NEWSPAPER YEARBOOK 33 PLAYING------------ Band breaks tradition, adds spark It might have been a first: an EHS band performing at halftime in Halloween costumes. While in a band formation of a ghost and to the tune of Ghostbusters, witches, clowns, spiders, soldiers, and mummies tooted their horns for football fans. It was a year to try new things to spark more in- terest in the EHS band. Art and photography teacher, Ed Sturtz, screen-printed white shirts for members to wear at pep band performances. “It looks a lot more classy when you see a group that looks like a group, said band instructor Joe Curtiss. At Christmas time, the pep band added holiday music to their repetoire to entertain the basket- ball crowds. In early December, the group sold cheese to build up their treasury for a possibly trip. Ac- cording to Curtiss, the trip would be short, like to Worlds of Fun. Following tradition, on Sep- tember 27, the band loaded the Eagle bus at 3:30 a.m. and headed to Lawrence for KG Band Day. Freshman Jennifer Blanton said, KG Band Day was the highlight of my year. It was neat being involved in it and being out there with the other bands.” Because of KG Band Day another tradition was broken. The band didn't go to a marching con- test due to the conflict of both being on the same day. Pleased with his band, Curtiss said, I've been here four years and each year it's gotten better.” Heather Christiansen SWEATIN’ IT OUT.

Eugene Huslig EAGLE Guard performs at halftime This year, the Ellinwood Color Guard was a major contributer to the success of the band. They per- formed at all home football games, went to KG Band Day, and started performing as a Winter Guard for the first time in four years since former guard leader Cathy Gordon, wife of former band leader Steve Gordon, left. Brenda Schartz, 1984 graduate of EHS and for- mer guard member, volunteered to help the guard by scheduling practices and giving advice. I thought they needed someone to help them, said Schartz, and I missed doing it (being in the guard.” For new uniforms, the members held a bake sale in the summer at Rocky's IGA. The money served to buy outfits for the Winter Guard. All of the members pitched in to make up new musical routines for both basketball and football halftime shows. To do this, they had to devote their time after school, during the evening, and on the weekends. At first they weren’t sure that I’d stick around but now they trust me. It’s really improved. I think they've done a great job, said Schartz, and they’ll get better every year! Heather Christiansen John Mohn ADVISER IT’S OVER. After performing for Winter Guard, senior Stephani Tien walks off of the basketball court. The guard performed at three home games and once at the Sterling Tournament. BAND 35 SINGING------- Mystic Blues enjoy success For the fifth straight year, the Mystic Blues, a select singing group, received a I rating at league, regional, and state con- test. “I think that this year we had a really successful group, even though we had a slow start. Part of that was due to the large tur- nover of people and the decision to learn all new music and dan- ces, said Vern Fryberger, direc- tor. Along with singing at all con- certs and performing for civic and church groups, the year was highlighted by the trip to Kansas City. While there, they performed the National Anthem at a Kansas City Royals game, sang at the Capitol building in Topeka, at- tended a Dinner Theatre, also in Topeka, and ended the trip by singing at the FCA mini- conference. It was a fantastic experience to be the center of attention at the Royals Stadium for just that brief time. I even got to shake Bud Black’s (Royals pitcher) hand, said Tristan Mohn, senior. For the second year in a row, they presented a dinner theatre that approximately 235 people at- tended. It was a sell-out crowd for the second year in a row. Brian Hood Andrea Mohn LEADER TOO COOL.

Choir takes music test It was not as easy making the good grade in 4th hour concert choir since the addition of an entrance test at the beginning of the year. The test, which included basic music notation rhythms, and reading of parts, was designed to en- courage the students to have a better understanding of music in general. Plus, it was one-third of their grade for the restof the year. “I thought that the test was a pretty good review. It helped some people with the basics of music, said sophomore Doug Brubaker. Forty-three students enrolled in the choir. They sang at each of the concerts and at graduation. “Overall, we’ve had a pretty good choir. They sang well and had really good concerts,” said Vern Fryberger, director. At league contest, they received a I - and at state contest they earned a II. There was no regional con- test for large groups. Brian Hood Andrea Mohn LEADER DANCE PARTNERS.

Home Ec I, taught by Linda Sobba, was a class mostly for freshmen and sophomores. The year was broken down into four sections which included foods and nutrition, clothing and tex- tiles, child care, and careers. Besides taking Home Ec I, Skills for Single Living was of- fered. The class, designed primarily for guys, included making a shirt and cooking an en- tire meal. The part that the guys like best is when they get to eat what they make, said Mrs. Sobba. If a student wanted to know more about home economics, they could take Advanced Foods and Clothing. This year, something different was done. The year was divided into two dif- ferent semesters, a semester of foods and a semester of clothing. A student could choose to take both semesters or take only one. Sobba also taught Family Living. The class talked about life after high school. Senior Nicole Meyer said, I really liked the movies that we watched because they did a good job of showing real life situations.

The boys and girls rotated everyday between playing activities like volleyball in the gym or learning about human growth and development, drugs and alcohol, and first aid. In advanced boys P.E., the main emphasis fell upon weight training, but first year teacher, Mario Klassen, stressed the importance of other sports like basketball, shuffle board, bowling, and gymnastics. Basically, I wanted to stress the sports that will last for a lifetime, said Klassen. Under the direction of Snay, advanced girls P.E. played many different activities. For example, they played a game called Jokari, something similar to racquetball. Since I had a smaller group than usual, we played more individual activities, said Snay.

HOME EC 39 SWITCHING Semester classes break routine Semester classes provide students an opportunity to ex- perience more classes in one year. They offer a variety of sub- jects so students can earn more credits and break their schedule routine mid-way through the school year. “It's nice to have some to compliment a students schedule, said counselor Merle Loewen. “They offer nice saturated introductions to skills and for further study in particular areas. We have a nice balance of semester classes at EHS.” Some test material is geared to be used for only half a year. These require a fast paced, intense study. Sophomore Christy Huslig said, I like semester classes because they're a break in the regular class routine, even though they've a little harder. And we don’t have to be stuck with the same teacher all year.” Lori Salem Allan Zuhars EAGLE HOLDING IT STEADY. Practicing using the video camera for Radio TV class is sophomore Debbie Moris.

As a teacher s aide for English I and 20th Cen- tury Popular Culture teacher, Mike Westerman, these were just a few of the duties for junior Steve Moris. By being an aide, students can see what all is involved on the instructor's part in teaching a class. The preparing, studying, grading, ect. Besides providing a good service to the faculty, students expand their work skills and develop self-dicipline. It makes for a good ex- perience from the other side of the desk. There has always been a high interest in being a teacher’s aide and enrollment has increased steadily the last couple years. There were about 20 high school students who signed up to help out at both the grade school and high school. Helpers are always highly appreciated by the teachers and secretaries. Secretary Mildred Burroughs said, Office helpers are a great deal of help, especially first and second hours. In past years, we’ve had one almost every hour, but lately we’ve had only two or three altogether. Those that do help out are very much appreciated.” Lori Salem Chris Siefers EAGLE EXERCISE.

Allan Zuhars EAGLE Extra activities ■ fun and memorable What are the students of EHS going to remember most about high school days? The long hours spent in the classroom listening to teachers lecture? Though the knowledge gained in school is used for a lifetime, it's not likely that classroom scholastic ex- periences will be the most vivid memories. Future reminiscing will probably come from the times that students shared with each other in extra-curricular ac- tivities. Clubs and organizations provided these activities. They helped students get involved in school and got new students ac- cepted into the school system. Being part of a club made people feel a part of something. “I like to have fun in different activities and have a good time with my friends, explained sophomore Shelly Duncan. Even if the meeting is boring, we can make it fun. Besides, being in- volved in lots of clubs gives me something to do. Linda Sobba, sponsor of the largest school club, the Kansas Association for Youth (K.A.Y.), stated her view on the importance of extracurricular activities. I don't think clubs are as valuable as they were 15 years ago mainly because there were no girls' spor- ts and not as many students had jobs. There's still some benefit in that they teach kids to get along with each other and to work together which prepares them for life in the real world.'

I've learned how to handle responsibility, and I've found out what the real world is really like,” said president, senior Jodi Wendel. The organization's activities included the annual sausage sale, a consignment auction, a duck and pheasant feed, a banquet, DeWerff Dairy Day, and two softball games with the Great Bend FFA. The Annual Sausage Sale was the biggest money- making project for the chapter, but the school board almost did not allow the students to prepare the sausage themselves at the Ellinwood Packing Plant, Inc., because of insurance problems. Eventually, they approved the go-ahead for the students to prepare their own sausage. All of the sausage sold. The Duck and Pheasant Feed attendance was not what had been expected. Less then fifty percent of the members attended. After the meal, Stan Wood, Kansas Fish and Game Commission, discussed the controversy of steel and lead shot. But the DeWerff Dairy Day was a success, with mid-'80’s weather and over 150 FFA and 4-H mem- bers attending. Activities included working with the cattle, scoring the judging entries and keeping the area clean. Though the sausage sale went well, FFA sponsor, Howard Wallace, had mixed feelings about the auc- tion. Consignment items sold well, but FFA projects did not. The kids worked really hard on their projects to get them done in time for the sale. But 1 thought the sale was a success even though the FFA projects didn't sell as well as other items, he said. The softball games, a first for the chapter, were Wendel’s idea along with his cousin, the president of the Great Bend chapter. Ellinwood won two of three games in the first meeting. Mr. Wallace is a great teacher and we all learn a lot from him. Not only about welding and things like that, but about life and what it’s really like. A guy’s got to get his hands dirty to make it in this world,” said Sophomore Tom Walker. Eugene Husiig EAGLE FAIR GOERS.

FFA 45 Brian Hood President Todd Fertig Vice President Mike Patrick Secretary f Hard work pays off] It was a year to start new traditions and to carry on old ones. Stuco was exceptionally involved in students' activities. The After Scrimmage Scram- ble, Football Homecoming, and Winter Homecoming were just a few of the things that kept the representatives busy all year long. This is the most Stuco has ever done in one year, said senior Brian Hood, president. For the first time in EHS history, a Winter Homecoming was installed. Other presidents have tried to get a Winter Homecoming in past years but we were really organized as we brought the proposal forward and the School Board passed it with a quick and unanimous vote, said Hood. For the second time ever, Stuco members traded schools for one day. Seniors Lori Salem and Nicole Meyer, juniors Todd Fertig, Mike Patrick, and Miriam Biays, and sophomore Shane Tschopp traveled to Hesston as six of their representatives journeyed to Ellinwood. The exchange with Hesston was chosen to create camaraderie between the two schools since they would soon be in the same league. Stuco sponsor Larry Vogt said, I thought it was a good experience for the students of each school. They found out how things were done in other schools, it created some good feelings between the two, and it gave them some good ideas for things to do. It also might have given each some appreciation for their own school. The traditional After Scrimmage Scramble was held in the gym after the scrimmage. Cassette tapes from Stuco members provided the music that students danced to. Football Homecoming provided another chance for class representatives to work together. Once again, the hard work paid off for a successful homecoming. Lori Salem Allan Zuhars EAGLE HOSTING. President Brian Hood hosts Hesston’s vice- president, John Reimer, for Stuco exchange day.

K.A.Y. faces change At first there was one. Just one. But it was enough to start a fad and change the name of the Kayette Club to the K.A.Y. Club. In 1984, a senior boy joined the all-girl Kayette Club in response to a dare. Since then, the male membership has grown from one to 17 in just a mat- ter of three years. Those members were enough for the club to initiate a vote on whether the name “Kayettes was too feminine for the co-ed club and if the name “K.A.Y.’s” (Kansas Association for Youth) would be more fitting. The vote favored K.A.Y. Since there were enough guys in the group to change the name, the club decided to bring in another sponsor who could represent the voice of the guys, and help out the current sponsor Linda Sobba. So librarian Scott Mitchum was asked to fill the position. Along with changing the name, the K.A.Y. Club hosted the MORP dance for the entire school. The dance required the students to do everything op- posite of prom. The girls were required to ask the guys out, and the attire was jams, sweats, or anything totally off the wall. A few couples even showed up with dead flowers for corsages. Chris Siefers Tristan Mohn Lori Peter President Vice President Points Director For the Christmas holiday, the club held a Christmas Tot Party. Each member was asked to bring a child who wasn't in school yet and hadn't had the experience of a school Christmas party. Santa Claus, played by Pat Schartz, handed out gifts to each child. The club also sponsors the Egghead Banquet at the end of the year which honors all students who have been on the honor roll two or more times. Because of the change in the honor roll system,” said K.A.Y. President Chris Siefers, “we had a large number of students qualify.” Tristan Mohn Allan Zuhars EAGLE AFTER SANT A.

Sophomore Doug Brubaker was elected as treasurer to handle the money of the state. This was not the first time Ellinwood hosted the state convention; the 1971 club also claimed the honor. At the annual Roman Banquet, the Latin I studen- ts prepared Roman style foods and acted as slaves to the older Latin students.

Since joining the new Central Kansas League, new teams will line the roster of any activity. But, the last year in the CPL was suc- cessful with almost all athletic teams finishing first, second, or third in the league. To honor the top athlete in a particular sport, the annual Ronald G. Brown award was given once again. For the first year sin- ce the creation of the award, one boy athlete won all three awards. Kent Roberts swept the atten- tion of all those at the Athletic Banquet when he received all three of the most prestigious awards one could receive in foot- ball, basketball, and track. As for the outstanding girl athlete, Julie Thill won the award for the second time in her high school career, the first being her sophomore year. She excelled in tennis, basketball, and track.

Most had to play at un- familiar positions and with no rest due to lack of substitutes. Many had to play in the Friday night Varsity games and then play again on Monday which was also a key factor in the outcome of the J.V. season.” Designed to provide underclass players with experience, the J.V. compiled a record of 2 wins and 4 losses. Most of the games were very close. The St. John vs. Ellinwood game went into double overtime. St. John managed to pull it off with a 6-0 victory. The final game of the season against Lyons had to be forfeited. Several injuries caused the J.V. Eagle roster to drop to 12 players which was not nearly enough to attempt to play the game.

They struggled for 1_____ wins throughout the season as their record jumped from wins to losses. One of the best games the girls played was the second match against Fairfield. Playing the net, receiving, and serving well were key factors for the Eagle victory. I thought we played really well in that match, said coach Karen Snay. “I was pleased the way the kids fought back, especially after getting beat so badly in the first game. They showed a lot of character in the last two games. The varsity players usually consisted of seniors Leslie Burke, Lynn Dunnaway, and Sheila Wolfkill; juniors Karen Wilson, Sherry Farthing, Jennifer Schar- tz, Tina Peterson, Janelle Ker- schner, and Kim Brauer; and sophomore Trina Kinsinger. I really thought this team was going to be really super. They had a lot of potential, said Snay. Throughout the majority of the season, practice went well. The team worked hard to improve their skills for a successful season. The girls worked a lot on receiving the ball and hustling on the court. Something they definitely had was team unity. They worked well together. Assistant coach, Cindy Hertel, helped with the coaching of var- sity and was the head coach of junior varsity. Hertel, being new at coaching volleyball, took on ‘the challenge of coaching the newcomers. Hertel said, “1 like the volleyball games because they're Lady Eagles start slow, improve skills, and end with a successful season not as pressure-packed as basketball. 1 thought the girls progressed well throughout the year. That always pleases me. The 1986 volleyball season en- ded with their loss to Sterling in sub-state. Even though the overall season ended with a 11-12 record, the girls ended with a sroductive year.

The senior duo finished 31-3 and second at state, losing Girls tennis team finishes season in good standing; Wilson, Thill win second to one team during the season, which was state winner Lyons. Combining her doubles and singles records, Thill ended her career with a record of 101-17, winning 86% of her games, the highest percentage by an Ellin- wood girl's tennis player. She also ranked 1st in the most career matches played with 118 mat- ches, and Wilson ranked 3rd with 101 matches. Wilson had the second highest percentage of games won with 85%.

Coach Vern Fryberger was Senior Tristan Mohn who placed 11th in state last year with her doubles partner who graduated. Throughout the '86 season, Mohn played both No. 1 singles and No. 2 doubles. Although she did not qualify for state, she ended the season with a career record of 44-28. Senior Lori Peter also played No. 1 singles and No. 2 doubles, switching with Mohn. The first year playing Varsity, Peter ended the season with a career record of 24-18. Other varsity members were sophomore Joanna Wood, who finished 9-15, junior Donna Jasper, who finished 6-6, and freshman Jean Thill who finished 4-8. Thill and Jasper put in playing time with both varsity and junior varsity. This year the girls attended harder meets than ever before, playing against bigger towns like Nickerson, Goddard, Wichita, Valley Center, and Pratt for the first time. We had a harder schedule this year that we've ever had,” said Coach Vern Fryberger. Along with Jasper and Thill, the Junior Varsity team consisted of: junior Miriam Biays, sophomores Heather Christian- sen and Angie Meyer, and fresh- man Brooke Simpson.

After four fames the team was 1-3, but ended with a 16-6 record.

In the tournament, the Eagles beat Moundridge, lost to Claflin, then beat Smokey Valley Lindsborg for third. The team also captured second place in the CPL. The Eagles were on a roll when Sub-State came around. The team advanced in the first round by beating Ellsworth 45-40 in a defensive struggle. Ellinwood faced the Lyons Lions in second round action in the Lyons Sub-State. Ellinwood was down by one at half with the (score at 29-30. In the second half |the Lions slowly pulled away with the win, 72-50. Three players made all-area in the Great Bend Tribune. Juniors Cory Downing and Allan Zuhars made the second team, and senior Kent Roberts made Honorable Mention. Downing and Zuhars also made the Wichita Eagle Beacon Honorable Mention for 3A players. Downing also qualified for the Hutchinson News Honorable Mention. Coach Mario Klassen was named an Honorable Mention 3A Coach of the Year by the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association. The junior varsity never really got it together during the regular season ending 2-9, but when tournament time rolled around the Eagles were a force to con tend with. In the first round of the Lyons Invitational Tournament, Ellin- wood faced Canton-Galva. Ellin- wood won 53-46. In the second round, the Eagles faced arch-rival Claflin, with Ellinwood handing the Wildcats a 51-38 defeat. In the Championship game the junior varsity fell short on their own Cinderella story as the Hoisington Cardinals won 54-37. Junior Todd Fertig said, The tournament was the highlight of the season.

The strive for perfec- tion of rebounding and blocking out began early and continued on through the season. All of these skills were contributed by each player in the sub-state tour- nament. Team enthusiasm grew to top peak during the sub-state tour- nament. The first game of the tournament was played at Ellin- wood against Hoisington because of good standings from prior games, which upped their record to 14-5. The sub-state tournament was played at Lyons. The second game, of the tournament against Medicine Lodge was expected to be a touch, fast pased game. The win gave them the best record ever by an Ellinwood team. I think the Medicine Lodge game was one of our best perfor mances of the season not only because we won but because we executed the things we practiced on and had talked about,” said head coach Schneider. Thoughts for the final game against Lyons were that it would be a fairly low scoring and very close game. Lyons ended up on top, 40-42. Along with all the excitement of making it to the finals of sub- state and having the best record ever by an Ellinwood girls basketball team, Coach Schneider thought that the three seniors provided good leadership and experience that helped to contribute to a good season.

Losing to Fairfield twice and Lyons once didn’t set the girls back a bit. The team defeated opponents anywhere from three points to fourteen points. There were only five fresh- men girls this year so a sophomore substitute was needed each game. In the first game, the girls were defeated by the Fairfield Falcons by only three points. After that, the team fired up and won the Young teams experience defeat and success to prepare for varsity action next four match-ups in a row. Unlike the freshmen boys, the freshmen girls practiced every day with the junior var- sity team. This enabled them to play better as'a team and in- dividually. For the junior varsity girls, the season ended with a suc- cessful record of 8-5. The girls got off to a good start by win- ning three out of four games. Toward the middle of the season, the team did well without the help of sophomore Angie Meyer and junior Miriam Biays. These two got to see a lot of playing time in the var- sity games. “I thought we had good seasons. Toward the end of the season, we played better together,” said J.V. Coach Cindy Hertle. All the girls got along really well, and we basically just had a fun time. The start of the season for the freshmen boys was a grueling and learning time. Losing games by small margins was hard, but toward the middle of the season, the team pulled together to win a couple games against St. John and Lyons. Head Coach Tom Starns was accompanied by Dave Otis in teaching new strategies and plays to the team. Having the freshmen away from the varsity and junior var- sity had a tendency to keep them singled out of the ways of the older guys.

JV BASKETBALL 67 On the whole, the cross country and golf teams --------- were young. As for cross country, the boys had one senior, one junior, two sophomores, and two freshmen competing. Even though the girls only competed in one meet as an of- ficial team, due to the fact Cross country, golf gain experience as individuals; place well at tough meets there were only three par- ticipants, they did well in- dividually. ‘Overall, I was pleased with the way that the season went. They did a good job of holding their own, said Tom Starns, coach. Junior Hamby, junior, ran the best individual time of the guys with a 10:53. For the girls, Nicole Meyer, senior, had top honors by running a 12:47 two mile. Meyer and Lori Salem, senior, qualified to compete in the state meet. “At the state meet, it was dif- ficult to run the best that I could because it was so cold. When it came to pacing myself, it was almost impossible, said Salem. Under new coach Scott Mit- chum, the golf team quickly found out that practice was going to be different. “It was a different experience for the players. They just didn’t go out and play nine holes, but they would go out and hit prac- tice ball after practice ball,” said Mitchum. Not only did the team go out and hit hundreds of practice balls, but they also went over the rules. I think the players have a better understanding of the rules and basics of the game,” said Mitchum.

CROSS COUNTRY GOLF 69 T------------------------------- I he strive for personal A bests was at large this —------ year. The girls’ track team kept improving as the season progressed. A slow start for the team in the beginning didn't put a damper on things as they kept working hard in practice to im- prove times and distances. The managers of the squad helped with the mental attitude of the group throughout the season. They made signs for Girl tracksters improve personal bests all season to finish second at CPL the girls during the nine week period of strenuous running and sculpting of skills. Along with the signs, they made stars with the achievers' personal bests on them. This triggered the girls to work to do even better. A record total of twelve per- sonal bests at the Barton Coun- ty meet led the girls home with a first place plaque. “I think we always perform well when we go to this meet, said coach Karen Snay. It was kind of surprising to me that we won it because I really didn't think we had that good of a chance,” said senior Lori Salem. After the meet, tracksters from all towns were invited to eat hamburgers and hotdogs in the student union. The girls took second place in the CPL track meet that was held in Ellinwood this year. It was a fight to the finish with the Fairfield Falcons as they seemed to place just above the Eagles repeatedly. Regionals were held at WaKeeney for the third year in a row. Many satisfying personal bests were made even though most weren't quite enough to go to state. However, freshman Diann Krom was determined to do bet- ter. She qualifed for state by placing second in the open quar- ter with a personal best of 61.62 seconds. “I was pleased with the girls this year, said Snay. Trina Kinsinger Track Ellsworth 6th Fr.

Three tracksters, however, competed well enough at regionals to make it to state competition. During the season, the un- derclassmen and upper- classmen helped push each other in practice to improve Determination and desire help guys through track and send three to state themselves and do better in meets. All of the freshmen and sophomores on the team par- ticipated in long distance even- ts. The tough work-outs and their determination paid off in successful finishes at meets and will make for a winning team in future years. The Eagles were especially strong in the field events. Javelin, shot-put, discus, and long jump all contributed many points each meet. The track team sent three competitors to the state meet at Cessna Stadium in Wichita. By placing third at regionals, senior Kent Roberts threw the discus at state. He earned four- th place with a throw of 137'4 . Junior Cory Downing placed second at regionals, which qualified him to throw the javelin at state. His throw put him in twelth place. Junior Jerry Curtis received two gold medals at regionals in the triple jump and 300 meter high hurdles. At state, he placed fourth in the hurdles and third with a distance of 42’ V ” in the triple jump. Curtis had an outstanding track season by breaking two school records. He broke the 1965 triple jump record twice, ending with a 42’ 83 ” distan- ce. His 39.6 seconds in the 300M high hurdles broke the previous record.

Motivating the crowd between cheers at a football pep assembly, senior Darci Lenhart laughs with an Eagle fan. o prepare for the school year, the cheerleaders traveled to Fort Hays State University for a four day camp. At Hays, they learned how to work together as a squad. At the After Harvest Festival, they rode on a float and performed cheers. Once school started, the foot- ball cheerleaders made locker decorations for football, tennis, cross country, and volleyball Male yell leader, freshmen cheerleaders help spark spirit players. They also worked on pep assemblies for football games with a skit incorporated into each one. To plan these assemblies, the cheerleaders met weekly with sponsor Mildred Burroughs. At the Gathering of the Eagles, they yelled cheers from different generations for the alumni at a dinner held in Great Bend at the Holiday Inn Convention Center. For the first time, freshmen basketball cheerleaders were elected. This lightened the load of the JV cheerleaders who had to cheer at all junior varsity and var- sity games. Almost every night of the week, EHS cheerleaders at- tended and cheered at games. For the second time in EHS history, a yell leader roared with the basketball cheerleaders. Senior Brad Stephens braved the unknown and asked to be a yell leader. He was welcomed onto the squad for his enthusiasm and dedication. This was the last year for two- year sponsor Mildred Burroughs. Time was a factor in Burroughs’ decision. “The job was requiring more and more of my time. I felt I had too many irons in the fire and wasn’t doing as good a job with the cheerleaders as I thought I should, she said. Burroughs left, proud of her squad. “The squads for the last two years have exhibited a lot of talent and improvement. Their enthusiasm and desire for school spirit is a real asset to our school, said Burroughs. Heather Christiansen Justin Knupp EHS Today READ ALL ABOUT IT.

This school contains hallways, ben- ches, classrooms, and lockers. Just like any other school. What makes this school dif- ferent and unique from all the others? The color of the benches, the length of the hallways, or the con- tents of each classroom? Every school has halls, lockers, and classrooms. Every school contains students and teachers. What matters is the attitude and outlook of those students and teachers and how they decorate their lockers and classrooms and hallways. On weekends, the school is void of activity. No students roam the halls. No lunchtime antics take place. Empty parking spaces surround the school. There are no people. Put simply, people bring life and enthusiasm to a school. How many exciting things hap- pen in the building when no people are around? None. A building can't compete in athletics, attend classes, or belong to FFA and K.A.Y. The school always stays basically the same, but the students and faculty members change. The labels don't change but the faces do. Freshmen. Sopho- mores. Juniors. SENIORS.

The top of the heap. Graduating to go on to be ‘your own person.” The class of '87 was no exception. One day practically the whole senior class showed up in the library lounge to hear the Friends Univer- sity representative. This resulted in having to sign up for representative visits a couple days ahead of time. An EHS first. The class had a male yell leader, the first since 1966,who helped with stunts and yells to create a positive attitude with the bleacher bums. Headed by several seniors, the bleacher bums carried on a tradition by attending all the home basketball games in jams, shirts that didn’t match the jams, shades, and high-tops. They cheered and supported the Eagles in a way only the bleacher bums could. The local Lions Club International sponsored a trip for the seniors to Topeka to visit the state capitol. Almost every senior made the four hour bus trip. The day began at 6:00 a.m. with blaring radios and rowdy seniors. The group had to be quieted several times.

Tents, sleeping bags, and lawn chairs covered the front yard of EHS. Fifteen to 20 students (mostly seniors) forgot about sports, tests, or any kind of homework they may have had, to spend the night (or in some cases, to party all night long) on the school lawn. May 15, 1987. Being the seniors last day of school, the party never really ended. Around 8:00 a.m., senior Eugene Huslig drove through Ellinwood with a hay trailer hitched to his jeep. First stop was EHS where many students jumped on the trailer and the seniors let everyone know it was their last official day of high school. Graduation practice was held seventh hour and at 2:35, the senior class, once again, jumped on the hay trailer to make their way to the football field. The afternoon was hot and everyone was tired of mar- ching to the graduation march. Finally, Mr. Caffee dismissed the group. Before they headed back to the jeep, they cooled off the principal by drenching him with water from the syringes passed out earlier in the day. Although the seniors ended their high school years, they carry with them the memories they share as a class. Lon s� iem Mark Gould EHS Today THE RECORDER. Stuco secretary, junior Mike Patrick, takes notes at a lun- cheon meeting. Juniors work hard Being a junior has its responsibilities, its problems, and its good times. For some people, it’s a tran- sition from being a kid to becoming an adult. You kind of have to grow- up. It's sort of a change from being a kid to being more mature. You begin to think about what you’re going to do after high school,” said junior Todd Fertig. Juniors also think about the friendships that have lasted for years and begin to realize they have only one more year left together as a class. They start to think of themselves as in- dividuals. Said junior Jennifer Kowalsky, We have a wide variety of people. We have athletes, smart people, people who can sing. We have it all.” Mostly though, juniors get excited about hosting prom. Junior class president Laura Strobl, vice-president Jennifer Kowalsky, secretary treasurer Steve Schlotthauer, and com- mittee chairpersons helped lead the junior class in putting together the Junior-Senior Prom. It took hard work. Junior class president Laura Strobl said, “It took extra work to try to do things as a class. They worked so hard. I learned a lot about my class and a lot about people. If I had to do it all again, I would.” Heather Christiansen Darin Batchman Miriam Biays Kim Brauer Stacy Brown Grant Bowman Tim Carpenter Jeff K.

Sophomores enjoyed the excitement of being able to drive legally.” “You can drive wherever you want without having to worry about being stopped,” said sophomore Justin Knupp. Being stopped for driving under age was common among sophomores. But once they turned sixteen, the perfect’ age, cruising around town became something new and exciting. Sophomore Danny Schlochtermeier said, I like to drive down Main Street and watch the reaction on Hin- dman's face. It’s also very useful for picking up women.” Not everyone was lucky enough to have their birthday during the school year. Sophomore Shelly Duncan said, “I hate not being able to drive legally because I have to depend on other people to take me places. But when I turn 16,1 probably won’t have a car anyway so I’ll still have to depend on other people. Sixteen or not, the second year of high school provides an opportunity for more indepen- dence and a sense of respon- sibility. ______J Trtna Ktnsmger ORDER-RING.

Freshmen are faced with the fears and changes that accom- pany a beginning high school student. Freshmen really don't get that many privileges. One thing they do get is their own hall. Their lockers are separated from the other classes. An honor or not, the hall is something the upper classmen don't have. Junior Woody Wood liked the idea of the freshmen being upstairs. “I think it’s the best thing that could happen. I mean, it keeps them out of our hair,” said Wood. privilege? Freshman Michelle Latin said, It keeps all us freshmen together. It’s pretty nice that we have our own hall.” On the other hand, freshmen Brooke Simpson doesn't think the same. “I don't like it because it separates us from the rest of the school. It makes it a hassle to carry all the books from class to class, but I kind of like it because you can be crazy,” said Simpson. Even though they are separate from the rest of the students, the activities and happenings are the same. The freshmen share a certain closeness being away from the upperclassmen.

Stremel said, The thing I enjoy the most is seeing the success kids have when they get out of school or college. Maybe 1 didn't help them with that or maybe they succeeded in spite of me.” Fryberger said, I like working with people. You can give them something they can use for the rest of their life.

After ten years, Superintendent William Wilson retired after the 1986-1987 school year. Wilson said, I am certainly leaving with a good feeling about the school district.” Hoping to play golf, travel, and work at a part time job, Wilson retired with full benefits. Commenting about his staff, Wilson said, “We have one of the better teaching staffs in public education-overall. Our teacher tenure averages around fifteen years.” As superintendent, Wilson ac- ted as mediator between the board and staff by referring proposals, such as better salaries for the staff. Building and remodeling was done in the high school and grade school during his tenure. Wilson explained his feelings when he took the job, It was a challenge for me and I feel that I have met that challenge to main- tain and improve education in the Ellinwood schools.” Wilson wanted to bring about the best educational oppor- tunities for young people that a district could afford and to become an established leader in education.

This year, StuCo decided to try hard to persuade the school board about passing Winter Homecoming. It worked. When the week finally arrived, everyone was ready. Students from their respective classes gathered to decorate their assigned part of Main Hall in an attempt to win the spirit contest. The freshmen apparently did the best job because the judges selec- ted them to receive the Spirit Stick. Friday night at the ceremony, between the varsity girls and boys games, people jammed into the gym to watch a tradition begin. Seniors Jeff W.

The royalty, consisting of any senior, had been nominated by the entire senior class and faculty.

Sophomore servers Shelly Duncan and Doug Brubaker greet juniors Shanda Taylor and Darren Doll before the prom banquet. Post prom party starts new tradition 1 For the first time ever, parents got together and planned a non-alcoholic post prom party for the students. The tradition for many years was for the juniors to put together prom, and for the seniors to unoffically put together a drinking party afterwar- ds. The parents offered a limousine ride on prom night for the student who came up with the best slogan for the party. Junior Travis Roth turned in the winning entry with The Start of a New Tradition,” and he and his date traveled to prom in style. The prom banquet and dance was held at the Bar- ton County Community College Student Gnion with librarian Scott Mit- chum as the speaker. The juniors reserved the college because they didn’t have to pay rent on the building and the college would cater the banquet. The Ellinwood Area Enterprises (EAE) and a few Alumni op- posed this decision because they felt the prom shouldn’t be taken out of town. But the junior class stuck to their original decision. Instead of using a popular song title for the theme, the juniors chose the song “New York, New York.

The wind forced them to grab their hats and tassles as they marched to Pomp and Circumstance. The graduates remained standing through the benediction given by Rev. A1 Hysom of the Methodist church. Hysom also gave the commencement address. Salutatorian Julie Thill gave her speech after the benediction. She told her classmates to never be afraid to dream.” Thill also said that you have only failed when you have failed to try. Seniors Jerry Rogers and Lori Peter sang a duet titled Friends”. The Mystic Blues performed “Forever , and the con- cert choir sang “Showing (Js the Way.” The songs were interspersed with the speeches and presen- tation of diplomas by the Board of Education. Valedictorian Micole Meyer challenged the seniors to take respon- sibility for their own ac- tions. She said that no matter what other people do, you are the person responsible for the out- come. When retiring superin- tendent Bill Wilson an- nounced that janitor Fred Schmidt was retiring also, the 46 seniors stood and gave Schmidt a standing ovation. Schmidt, however, wasn't present to hear the applause. After the hour long ceremony, the graduates said goodbye to their classmates and hello to a new challenge.

GRADUATION 97 EHS students make identities known Ellinwood High School is similar to other schools in ways that show only on the surface. The minute you remove the similarities, however, these studen- ts are remarkably different from other students. From jumping over bushes at noon, to being rowdy in English class, EHS students made their identities known. Students interested themselves in everything from playing a friendly game of killer frisbee to sitting in the hall during break just talking about weekend activities. They didn't party extensively or do outrageous obnoxious things, but they did exhibit some rowdy characteristics. During noon, several male students lined the halls making a walkway between them. They desperately searched for their next Human Pinball contestant. This lucky person was shoved back and forth through the line of students until they made it to the end. This method of fun was stopped by a faculty member several days after it began. When warmer weather returned, the student body could be found lounging on the sign in front of the school, or trying to catch some rays on the front lawn. Put simply, these students made their high school unique by the things they did and the actions they took. They were, in fact, simply unique. Chris Siefers Chris Siefers tAGLE BEAR HUG.

Eagle Pride Seeing the production of this book Chris Siefers come to an end brings many emotions Editor-in-Chief to the surface. First, I feel relieved. Relieved to know that it’s finally over. 1 Tristan Mohn have actually led my staff through the Photo Editor perils of producing a yearbook. Next, I probably feel sadness. Not Lori Salem the kind of sadness that comes when Copy Editor Brian Hood Sports Editor something tragic happens, but the sadness that means goodbye. Not only do 1 say goodbye to high school with this book, but I say goodbye to three Trina Kinsinger Heather Christiansen years on the yearbook staff with some of the best friends 1 will ever have. Staff Members Last, but by no means least, 1 feel proud. 1 feel proud of my staff. 1 feel Eugene Huslig proud of our accomplishment. 1 will be Allan Zuhars proud to show this book to anyone and Justin Knupp everyone who wants to see it, and even Mark Gould some who don’t. And 1 am proud to say Photographers that I was the editor of the 1987 Eagle. John Mohn 1 know this book contains mistakes. Adviser It is really hard, though, to get eight people working on a project of this Copy Typesetting magnitude and not have any mistakes. Ellin wood Leader My hope is that you, the reader, will Linda Hie also take pride in the 1987 Eagle. You Tristan Mohn see, it doesn’t matter how much pride 1 Megan Mohn have in this book. We did it all for you. Chris Siefers Editor-in-Chief 102 PATRONS STAFF
