C0111- ictober began with a big bang with the Kayette Variety Show October 1. The Kayettes donated over S500 to the American Heart Association. Following this, on October 14, StuCo sponsored the movie Ice Castles for our evening entertainment. October could have been named test month. There was the S.R.A. test for sophomores, the A.S.V.A.B. Service test, the Junior Kuder test, the P.S.A.T. National Merit, and the usual end-of-the-quarter tests. College night was really helpful because it emphasized fnancial aid information and gave us a chance to learn about the colleges we want to go to. JejfCravens Classes began in earnest to work on money-making projects. Juniors and freshmen planned bake sales on October 11, and junior magazine sales began. The Fall Concert on October 22 featured a wide variety of numbers, including a thirty-minute song called Gloria, Also on October 27, Kansas colleges presented information about their schools for juniors and seniors on College Night. Meanwhile, a war began between Iran and Iraq. Many of us were uneasy, wondering if a draft would be reinstated. To relieve some of our tension, the World Series began with the Kansas City Royals against the Philadelphia Phillies. All of us loyal fans were glued to the TV set from October 14-20g homework couldn't budge us. In the end, we were let down when the Phillies won in the sixth game, but we were still proud of the Royals. Presidential candidates Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were still battling for votes while the hostages, in captivity for almost one entire year, still saw little hope for release. At home, a serious problem arose in Atlantag fourteen black children were murdered or disappeared in fifteen months. The end of October brought both the end of the first quarter and the celebration of Halloween. We teased our teachers with threats of tricks instead of treats, while they reminded us that grade cards wouldn't be passed out until after Halloween!

SCENE 2: I T R results of our school mock election early in November mirrored the national results. Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan ran away with a surprisingly easy victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter on November 4. A special election issue of THE ECHO, announcing local andnational contest' results, greeted the next morning as we 'came togschool. Seniors were already looking toward graduation as they chose announcements and other graduation items. After a slow start, our football team bounced back to win a berth in the state play-offs November 15. Prospects of our making it to the play-offs were dim, as three specitic teams needed to lose November 8 in order for us to make it. Although we traveled to state, Fort Scott dashed our hopes in the first play-off game. p The four-day Thanksgiving vacation was refreshing for all of usg we knew that ence the winter sports schedule began, we'd find our days extremely busy. Relationships among various countries seemed strained. Although talk of release of the American hostages in Iran continued, progress seemed remote. Striking problems in Poland brought veiled threats from Russia. And Jordan and Syria were eying each other with distrust. In the meantime, a devastating earthquake hit Italy, and fire engulfed the 26 stories of the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas, killing 84 people on November 21. Practice lists for the annual Christmas program were released, and winter sports practice begang the rush was just beginning.
