� f I 1969 TIGER DOING YOUR OWN THING Excelsior Springs High School Excelsior Springs, Mo. 68024 Vol. 40 ■f «t UICNTT PDOUO Of COACH IOHUCMI «0 OUR TIGERS L The Clay County State Bank lends en- couragement by displaying this sign after the Tigers broke their football string of wins. The front entrances of the Excelsior Springs High School are shown. This building has housed students since 1929; many still in the community, being alumni. One of the newest buildings in Excelsior Springs is the Clay County State Bank. Its progressive, modern architecture gives a forward look to the community. Two sophomores, Molly Morgan and Mary Staponski, take an active part in community life by riding their horses in the Annual Mineral Water Bowl Parade. 2 Spa community involves high school students Excelsior Springs began as a health haven because of its natural mineral springs. It became famous the world over and helped many arthritic or in other ways diseased persons. This outlook has changed, and the community, although still having the famous mineral water, is moving in new directions and is progressing very much. Yearly new businesses are added and new buildings arc being constructed. Students of the Excelsior Springs High School are very much community minded and school spirited. They take part in many community activities; such as the Mineral Water Bowl parade with the marching band. Drill Team, and other entries. Most students have jobs in many of the business places of the community. The re- ligious groups in many churches of Excelsior Springs are actively supported by high school students. The community, in turn, is active in school affairs. Much support is given school football, basketball, wrestling, track, and other sport games, as well as school plays and special school assemblies for the public. Businessmen support the school paper, “Tiger Tales , by buying ad space in it to help finance it. Excelsior Springs provides a cooperative setting for the high school, teaching many young persons the fundamentals of what may become their life work. It also may become the place where they, in turn, settle and help in continuing it’s progress. This view of the high school shows the school coining events sign and the doors to the auditorium. Through this entrance many persons have entered to sec graduations, commencements, and school produced plays for several generations. The Hall of Waters houses the administrative depart- ments of Excelsior Springs and the police department, as well as providing a health bar for the famous mineral wa- ters, and mineral baths.

Killing time watching the clocks with the jumpy hands that sud- denly stopped at five minutes to twelve. Whooping with excitement as Linzy Teegarden crosses the white line. Cringing as Mr. Campbell walks in the room just after someone sent a paper wad soaring. Sighing with relief as that last daily bell rings. These moments combined to make the 1968-69 school year unique and unforgettable. Nothing especially unique happened to the group of people that make up ESHS. The cheerleaders yelled as a squad, sport competition was rated by success as a team and the yearbook was put out by a staff. But what made the year different and personal was the make up of indi- vidual persons. The most memorable highlights were the actions of individuals that “Candid Camera” has yet to catch. The memory of teachers who really cared about a student’s progress and the mem- ory of teachers that based a student’s progress on merely points. The memory of friends who listened when everything went wrong and the memory of friends who listened and told everything that went wrong. The memory of actions: a smile, a walk, an accent. The mem- ory of the individual . . . doing his own thing. Senior Kathy Harris is caught in the act of decorating the clock for Christmas. Senior Jim Lehew finds time to demonstrate his own thing by staring into the camera. 4 Junior Garry Yack, overcome by the work in his daily schedule, manages to squeeze in a rest period. It works, too, as long as the teacher doesn’t notice. Sophomore Jackie Dickey is one of many who find that humor lurks somewhere in daily classes. Seeing the lighter side of things relieves many otherwise tense moments. Mrs. Susan Jones, English and P.E. teacher, shows that teachers are human and kid around, too, while making this face for the camera. For the camera, cyclist Randy Asberry, a junior, demon- strates the great power of his motorcycle by ‘popping a wheelie’ for excited onlookers and fans. 5 A rude awakening. Sophomore, Dennis Wood starts his day off with a clean shave. You can’t get bored in shop, there is always something to do. Volleyball intramurals helped a lot of ambitious tigers start their days off right. Homeward bound to a night of study and perhaps a game . of basketball. Tigers trudge through another 180 days at ESHS The typical Tiger day usually began with a yawn. Pre- school meetings, make-up tests and newspaper interviews often required early rising. Most students found it enough of a responsibility to be in their seat by the 8:40 bell. Intervals between classes were marked by the 452 shouts of “hi in only 3 minutes. Noise heightened at the 5 minute class change, when the school echoed the slam of locker doors, drop of books and a longer talk with friends. When classes dismissed for lunch, students surged to the lunchroom crowding into single file lines. Endless lectures by teachers, cramming for a pop quiz, doing research on the history of the English language for a term paper due tomorrow, and cleaning out dirty test tubes combined to make a somewhat typical Tiger day. But “leisure is the reward of labor” and Tigers took free advantage. The bumpy ride home on the yellow school bus was only too welcome. Club meetings required a later stay at school or an early return that evening. However, when finally home, the students became guys and girls doing their own thing. Of course, everyone must find time for studying and Pam Cantrell is no exception. The final bell and everyone is off and running, some to clubs, some to practice and some to the books. Students participate During working hours seniors Kay Turner and Terry Williams color eggs and prepare Easter baskets at Mattingly's in preparation for the Easter holidays. Joe Kaiser demonstrates his ability on the parallel bars by doing a shoulder stand on them during this years’ gymnastic assembly. in outside activities Although school is the main thing in student’s lives now, they have various other activities. These may be extracur- ricular school of outside school activities. Home responsibilities take up much time. At this age, students arc expected to help in homemaking by cleaning the house, doing washing, purchasing groceries, washing the car, cooking meals, and babysitting with younger family members. Extra money is provided by numerous jobs held by stu- dents in the community. These jobs include working in grocery stores, dime stores, filling stations, and hospitals. Churches involve the younger generation with youth fel- lowship groups. The Christian Athletes Association has ac- tivities such as camps in the summer, and regular meetings with guest speakers, for boys interested in athletics. For entertainment there are movies shown at the local theater, and many nice eating places. With metropolitan Kansas City being close by, its entertainment facilities may be utilized. These may include the Kansas City Philhar- monic, drive in theaters and other theaters such as Starlight in the summer, and Municipal Auditorium where sports shows and rock concerts featuring popular bands are offer- ed. School isn’t the only activity in the life to a student, and ESHS students actively involve themselves in many differ- ent activities. On the job Jackie Beckman babysits with her little sister Jody. While reading her a story, Jody decides it is past her bedtime. 8 ESHS experiences variety of foreign influences AFS and People to People supplied ESHS with two for- eign exchange students, Minor Vargas and Bruno Chaput. Minor Vargas to Excelsior from Costa Rica, Peru through American Field Service. He attended the first semester at ESHS then traveled on to other schools. Bruno Chaput spent the latter part of the school year at ESHS through the People to People program from our sis- ter city of Spa, Belgium. ESHS was also visited by the Kansas City Spurs Soccer Team. They spent the entire day demonstrating fundamen- tal skills of soccer to each of the P.E. classes, then assisted students in doing the skills. The team players were of foreign nationality and tried their hand at the American game of football showing great kicking abilities. One of the players, on his first attempt at a place kick, surprised the crowd and himself at completing a 60 yard field goal. President of Student Council, Bill Allen, gives a Tiger Wel- coming to Minor Vargas, foreign exchange student from Costa Rica, Peru. He was sponsored through AFS. Members of Kansas City Spurs Soccer Team visit ESHS to acquaint students with the game of soccer and promote the team. Kansas City Spurs display fundamental skills of an exciting soccer game to students of ESHS. Many of the players are of for- eign nationality and were not accustomed to the sport of football. People to People student, Bruno Chaput, speaks about his native city. Spa, Belgium. 9 Donna Luke takes 1968 Homecoming Queen honor. Court Members are Princess Becky Collins, Nancy George, Queen Donna Luke, Princess Sue Cox, Connie Cross and Debbie Harms. Gary Craven and Joe Staponski drive the winning senior float down Thompson Avenue. Candidates and their escorts, band, drill team and many other floats made up the parade. Queen Donna was crowned at half time of the football game and a dance culminated the homecoming events. Junior Sue Cox was crowned first princess. She was es- corted by Chuck Haley. Second princess was sophomore Becky Collins. She was escorted by Jerry Kochanowski. n Rev. James Akins chuckles as he relates a joke to the student body at the Thanks- giving assembly. Senior Ellie Wood; portraying the mother of five daughters summons the aid of two daughters played by seniors Brenda Wolverton and Lynda Edwards. The characters were cast members of the senior play, “Pride and Prejudice.” Assemblies ere informative as well as entertaining. The annual Christmas assembly, presented by the juniors, featured the Madrigal Singers, an acapella group directed by Mr. Erwin. Besides getting out of classes, assemblies offered outside talent as well as student talent doing their own thing. As- semblies were looked forward to with interest and curiosity and often rewarded both. Instruction on observing safety in cars was presented by a veteran race car driver through film including the excerpts of the Indianapolis 500 and interviews with drivers like A.J. Foyt. The importance of Thanksgiving was related by Rev. James Akins, local Baptist preacher. Bruno Chaput and Minor Vargas told how they spent Christmas at their home in Belgium and Costa Rica. Mr. Erwin also directed choral numbers sung by groups in the music department. The assembly closed with “Silent Night” sung by the entire audience. A lively assembly featured Caryl Walker, area folk singer. Caryl opened his music, ranging from “barnyard soul” to current rock music, on his guitar. Perhaps the most enjoyable assemblies were those that featured talented classmates. The senior play, “Pride and Prejudice”, was received with praise as was the junior play Meet Me In St. Louis”. Pep Assemblies took place nearly every week. Team members were recognized, queens were announced and cheerleaders attempted to build school spirit. Inevitably each pep assembly concluded with the ear-blasting shout of the victory cheer and the singing of Alma Mater”. 12 Assemblies feature school talent, spirit Caryl Walker, Folk singer, does his rendition of the lively folk song, “John Henry.” Mr. Gary Kennedy, teacher, is Walker’s agent and set up similar assemblies at area schools in order to raise money for the singer to cut his first record in June. Students clap as cheerleaders complete the “victory cheer-.” The cheer, which involves voice competition be- tween the classes, was repeated traditionally at each pep assembly. Sophomore Jerry Snider Haunts his hand at Junior Joe Kaiser as Senior Tom Allan and Ju- nior Diane Chipps looks on. The four students played parts in the Drama Club’s presentation of “A Mad Breadfast.” “Anybody for Tea” was also presented by the club the same even- ing. 13 Queen Beth reigns at the top with her princesses below her. First princess is Norma McAtee and second princess is Pam Mills. Front row are her attendants; Marty Kent, Sue Howard, and Janice Allan. At half time during courtwarming, Beth Porter is crowned queen by Bill Allen, basketball captain. Last year’s first princess, Carol Shclor, presents her with red roses. Beth was escorted by Mike Hale. Students choose Beth Porter Courtwarming Queen Senior Norma McAtee, escorted by senior Steve Parman, has title of first Princess for Courtwarming. Senior Pam Mills, escorted by senior James Maidment, was given title of second Princess for the evening’s events. 15 Juanita Sams is crowned first Wrestling Queen Miss Juanita Sams poses proudly as she wears the crown signifying her as the new 1969 wrestling queen. Juanita was chosen from seven candidates. As a new tradition at ESHS, wrestling team members selected a queen. The queen was chosen in honor of the wrestlers who have gained more recognition in the last few years. The queen was chosen from the seven girls in pep club who had earned the most points. The queen, two prin- cesses and four attendants made up the court. The queen and princesses, announced the day before the regional wrestling tournament, awarded trophies and medals to win- ners in the tournament at Lewis Junior High School. The new tradition replaced the “Miss Peppy” of past years. Princesses Becky Collins and Debby Nance hold the carnation cor- sages presented them bty wrestlers. Queen Juanita holds a bouquet of one dozen carnations. 16 Wrestling team members stand before the student body as they are recognized before the wrestling queen is presented. Captains John Rose and Joe Ligon crowned the queen. Roxy McNeely is crowned first queen of F.H.A. For the first time at ESHS, the Future Homemakers of America selected a queen. The queen, Roxy McNeely, was the most outstanding member of F.H.A. From the club, six girls were selected as candidates and from there the queen and her two princesses were chosen. Members of F.H.A. voted. The queen and her princesses were selected because of their active participation in the club's activities and their knowledge of its functions. F.H.A. plans for this queen se- lection to become an annual event. Senior Bonnie McCoy was selected as one of the two princesses to the queen. Senior Roxy McNeely was crowned Queen of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America Club. She was chosen be- cause she was the most active and most outstanding member of the club. Latina Summers, a senior, was also an F.H.A. princess. Latina is an active member of the club. Class of '69 gives honor to fellow seniors by After some dispute over whether or not to continue the senior poll, seniors voted 16 classmates to positions, setting them off as outstanding members of the class. The tradition has been used to remember the students by certain charac- teristics. One new feature was used; to keep the poll secret until it come out in the annual.

Perhaps it was through acting out “Snow White” in dramatics class, pecking out a newspaper story to meet a deadline in ten minutes, gluing toothpicks to make a dragon or merely taking part in class discussion. Class trips to St. Joseph hospital, Job Corps, and movies enlivened routine. Teachers also resorted to inviting guest speakers and films to supplement certain areas of study. The honor roll gave many students the initiative to do their best to achieve good grades. But students found mo- tivation in understanding Shakespeare, communism, music scores, and French. Too often the same classes everyday turned into a dull routine and thus less of a challenge. But pop tests, grade cards and seventh hours tended to change attitudes. Perhaps the initiative to continue in one certain field was sparked during these past days in school. Academics plays its part in what your own thing may become. 21 Fair highlights year for science department The science department, which includes both science courses and math courses, has helped many students think logically and ratio- nally . The science courses are intended to establish within each student a scientific attitude encouraging curiosity, observation, and accuracy of handling data and materials. Among the science courses which a student can take are Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. They include both laboratory and classroom work. The math courses which a student can take are Algebra 1, Alge- bra 2, Senior Mathematics, and Consumer Mathematics. Most students taking science courses were required to enter the Second Annual Science Fair at ESHS. Those getting ‘Best of Show ’ awards were Freddie Childers, sophomore, and Larry Swearingen, junior. Mr. Hart and Larry Turner are shown gazing in amazement at the day by day results of a science experiment. Shown are two Biology students. Chuck Haley and Butch Wilkins, involved in a question and answer period for a chapter exam. Below: Involved in a chemistry experiment is Senior David Sims transferring H O from a graduated cylinder into a beaker containing SO3. Trying to intelligently figure out an answer to a tough alge- bra problem is junior Brace Bailey. 22 k Jane Heflin and Roxanne Gordon are discussing where they are going to get their next ad for the paper. Language art learners do a communicating thing The large Language Arts Department includes three years of English; one year of Speech and Dramatics; and two years of French, Spanish, and Journalism. Students of English II study grammar, composition, and literature, whereas English III students concentrate on American literature. English IV, an optional course, is mainly for the benefit of college bound students. Speech classes include public speaking, discussion, and debate. Dramatics, following along with speech, is a course in which hidden talents may come to light. The first year of French and Spanish mainly introduces basic grammar, reading, and writing. Second year courses refresh and increase the knowledge acquired in the first year, with conversation being the main emphasis. Journalism I classes learn newspaper history and writing techniques with Journalism II as a follow-up. Both classes are responsible for producing the school paper. Taking off from the usual daily routine, an English 111 class practices the classic art of throwing paper wads while Jerry Harrison serves as a target. “To be or not to be,” Mr. Ward tries to impress something into the minds of an English IV Class. 23 Fine arts creates interest in music, drawing. Fine arts department includes art I, art II, music appreciation, boy's glee club, girl's glee club, mixed chorus, and band. Art I is in- volved with learning the basic fundamentals and skills, while art II has an emphasis on three dimensional forms. Students enrolled in music appreciation are introduced to the major composers, literature, and forms of the various historical peri- ods. They listen to different types of music in class and also make various trips during the year to musicals and operas. Boy’s and girl’s glee clubs are open to all interested students. These groups participate in several concerts throughout the year, and also in a Musical Show. Mixed chorus consists of boys and girls who arc specially selected by the music teacher. Besides performing in all scheduled concerts, this group competes in District and State Music festivals. Band members provide music for school functions when called upon. Students in this course contribute to school spirit while they gain experience in marching and playing. The Mixed Chorus, with Mr. Erwin as their director, pro- vide entertainment for the students and at the Christmas assembly. £ __ Dick Risley, Mike Hale, John Edwards, and Gary Railey, pictured in the foreground, practice their creative ability in Mr. Taylor’s fourth hour art class. With instruction from Mr. Belknap, Ramona Radley and Arlene Allen diligently practice in preparation for the music contest at Marshall. Members of the Art Club this year supported all athletic events by making posters and signs, stirring up school spirit. Tom Allan proved that practice makes per- fect after receiving a ‘one’ rating at Mar- shall. Practical skills are taught in Industrial arts Being amused in a Home Ec. class are Judy Easley, Kandi Warren, Debbie Calvert, Kathy Scobee, and Cathy Hamp- ton. Janet Roy (foreground) adds finishing touches to her clothing project and examines her work while others work on their projects in Home Economics. Splinters are a bad scene and smooth surfaces are impera- tive, so Garry Yack, junior, and Vincil Turner, junior, busily sand their woodwork projects. Students gain skill by doing in thcii practical art courses. Whether deciding to go on to college or take a job, the student learns necessary fundamentals that help in their future. Female stu- dents are introduced to homemaking in Home Economics courses. Shop, which includes courses in planning and construction pro- blems, is offered to male students. Beginning Home Ec. courses stress the basic principles of nutri- tion, using the sewing machine, clothing construction, room improvement, personal grooming, home nursing, and personality de- velopment. The second year course stresses quality in these subjects. Courses also offered are Interior Decoration, Clothing, Creative Foods, and Personal Culture. General Shop includes the basic principles of drafting, wood- work. upholstering, and limited Electricity. Woodwork 1 teaches in depth hand woodwork and advanced construction problems using several machines, with Woodwork 2 advancing even more by teach- ing technology and its relationship to industry. Drafting teaches several segments of drawing. Mechanical Drawing, Machine Drawing and Surface Development, Freehand Drawing, and Architectural De- sign. In Advanced Drafting, a home may be drawn completely with cost calculated, and in the second semester a commercial building is designed. Mr. Roy Smith, shop teacher, teaches the fun- damentals of woodworking to his class. Here he explains a problem to Garry Yack, junior. 25 Phys ed, health dept offers first at ESHS with Physical Education classes are designed to develop an understanding of the rules and fundamentals of games, team sports, and individual activities to promote physical fitness and sportsmanship. Included in the activities are tumbling, gymnastics, archery, badminton, ping pong, shuffleboard, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and softball. One day each week is spent in classroom work designed for the study of the facts and principles of good health and hygiene. This year the classes were visited by the Kansas City Spurs Soccer Team. The students enjoyed their demonstra- tions very much. Mr. John Ibeling, a student phys. ed. teacher from Missouri State College at Maryville, assists Coach Bush during the third quarter. Mona Chappell, Donna Simmermon, Laytena Summers, and Marsha Canfield demonstrate Mrs. Jones’ new singing exercises. The boys show their skill at volleyball. Later, they combined tal- ents with the girls in coeducational classes. introduction of coeducational training classes A girls phys. ed. class throws the ball in the midst of a game of crab ball. Most games ended with more sore muscles than points. Working hard on a first aid course are girls in the health class. This class meets once a week in the C.O.E. build- ing. 27 John Flanagan, student teacher to Mr. Baird in American History, instructs one of his classes. He is a student of north- west Missouri State College at Maryville. Indians, Hitler, stocks make-up social studies The social studies courses include World Problems, American History, American Problems, Missouri History, Government, and Sociology. World Problems, a required course for all sophomores, includes major political, social, economic, and religious history during ancient, medieval, and modern times. American History is also a required course, but it is for students of junior rank. Beginning with the discovery of the New World, the course covers important political, econom- ic, cultural, and social movements up to 1960. An elective course for seniors, American Problems classes study current events and problems facing America and its citizens. Class participation plays a major role in this course, and a research paper on careers is required. Missouri History is a semester course offering an intense study of the state of Missouri. Government, also a semester course, offers a thorough study of the various governments operating under the fed- eral constitution. Sociology deals with man and his relationship to others. Fifth hour sociology class conducted a mock divorce court in which Becky Allen sued Mike McLaughlin for a divorce. Other class mem- bers acted as the judge, court officials and wit- nesses. Students strike a usual pose in an American history class as they listen to Mr. Baird explain the causes of the Civil War. 28 Senior, Becky Allen, consults Mr. Thomas Hall, student teacher to Miss Morris, on her problem of what to do when her typewriter won't type. Senior Carol Batchelor calculates on an adding machine. Senior Vollie Baker punches in on the time clock which records extra time put in by the students. Business proves beneficio! for now and the future Junior Sue Cox works diligently bn her Shorthand assign- ment to hand in to her instructor Miss Morris. Courses offered in business arc Typing, Shorthand, Personal Typ- ing, Notehand, General Business, Business Law, Clerical Practice and Bookkeeping, Typing a full-year course is beneficial to every stu- dent, deals with the basic principles of typing with a stress on manu- scripts, letters, and other problems in the second semester. Short- hand, basically for the student who is interested in a secretarial job, teaches basic outlines in the first semester with later emphasis on speed in dictation and accuracy in transcription. Personal typing is a course to teach the student how to type for his own needs. Note- hand, primarily for the college-bound student, teaches the student how to outline and take notes properly. General business, a sopho- more course, gives the student an understanding Sf our American business system. Business Law studies the legal aspects of business which apply to everyday situations. Clerical Practice, a senior course, gives the student vocational practice as a clerical worker. Bookkeep- ing, also a senior course, involves learning the method of keeping a set of books. Numbers race through the mind of Senior Ellie Wood as she pounds out an assignment in clerical practice. Doing your own thing in organization: Doing your own thing in organizations became a group activity. Certain clubs gained more recognition not only for their progress as a group but for certain outstanding mem- bers, who helped push and lead the rest. Sponsors played a big part, too, giving encouragement and advice when it was needed. Organizations provided an outlet for service, creativity and school spirit. Certain clubs also gave students a chance for further study in academic areas. Clubs were responsible for dances after games, public en- tertainment, such as the dramatic plays and the Science Fair. Service was given by Student Council in keeping up school appearance. FHA, Art and Rendezvous clubs allow- ed students to delve into areas of academic interest. Leaders were molded and friendships were made through common interests. Students gave up free time in order to practice for a play, meet a yearbook deadline, or work on a float for Homecoming. Activities of the year were unique partially because of the organizations doing their own thing-cooperating as a group. 31 Drill Team steps in time with pom-pom routines Sally Clevenger, Carol Batchelor, Willa Anthony, Karen Slater, Cathy King, Debbie Ahart, Janice Kindred, Vollie Baker, Christine Brandenburg, Belinda Waters, Carol Closterman, Donna Luke, Janice Wilson, Sue Cox, Connie Drill Team members are selected by a panel of judges including several teachers, the sponsor, captains and squad leaders. Any sophomore, junior, or senior girl is eligible for tryouts. The team marches at home football and basketball games and at parades. This year, Drill team members per- formed routines at Warrensburg, Maryville, and in the Mineral Water Bowl Parade. The girls attended a workshop at Warrensburg where they were instructed in new routines. Routines are then further developed by squad leaders and the captain. The group strives to stimulate school loyalty and spirit. The girls learn to work together and cooperate as they work out together routines and formation to music.

Members at- tend regular pieetings in which they learn the different arts of acting, directing, make up, and scene work. Plays put on during the year by the club are done entirely by the mem- bers themselves. Any interested student may join the debate club. This year is the first year for this club since 1922. Members this year are all novices, since this is the first year that they have competed in debates. Competitive debating with other schools is their major activity. This year's debate topic is “Resolved: That the United States should form a system of compulsory service for all-citizens.” Susan Hedges and Tom Allan study and find infor- mation for their debate topic while Mrs. Houx, de- bate sponsor, helps. Judy Relando portrays “Happy” in the Dramatics Club’s Pro- duction of SNOW WHITE. Debate: Ellie Wood, Jackie Beckman, Susan Hed- ges, Mrs. Houx, Tom Allan, Mike Holtzclaw, and David Schoolfield. Band gets recognition for musical ability Besides performing at all home football games the band marches at parades. They marched at the homecoming parade. Mineral Water Bowl parade, and the Warrensburg parade. The band members began practice about two weeks be- fore school started. Members were selected by the director, Mr. Ray Belknap. Also during the summer the 57-member band marched at the state fair. Meeting each morning at 7:30, the band prepares for one spring concert at school, at Marshall on Feb. 28 and the district and state contests in the spring. The band tries to promote school spirit and at the same time offer students an opportunity in music. Twirlers-Evelyn Morrison, Melanie Belknap, Vicki Mills, Vicki Strasheim. Mr. Belknap, band director, insures Arlene Allen and Ra- mona Radley “that practice makes perfect”, especially when working with music.

Any girl or boy who is interested in sup- porting our teams can join the pep club. The club works with the cheerleaders in provid- ing support for the team as they compete in the various athletic events. Members attend weekly meetings and all home games. Busses for the club travel to al- most every out-of-town games. This year, the club has bought new uni- forms for the girls which consist of black blazers, black skirts, and gold turtle neck sweaters. The boys wear black turtleneck sweaters and black slacks. Tryouts for Tiger mascot are held every spring. Any pep club girl member who has lettered may try out. Vicki Keller, Marsha O’Dell, Mary McCullough, Diane Jackson, and Juanita Sams are painting a sign to promote tiger spirit. 40 GAA is active in all sports, especially gossip, and as usual their leader is Mrs. Jones. Even though some people think girls cannot excel in sports, they can and they prove it by participating in the Girl’s Athletic Association. This year GAA sponsored an intramural program for any girl who wanted to play volley- ball, basketball, or bowl. For the first time in recent years, the members organized a sports day between area schools. The school bullies . GAA.

Yearbook staff depicts doing your o n thing “Doing Your Own Thing” was the theme the yearbook staff used to relate the story of the 1968-69 school year. The theme, used on the opening section and divider pages, tied the book together by centering on individuals in the whole. As the yearbook staff strived to present the story of the 1968-69 school year, they did their own thing. Working to meet deadlines, cropping pictures to fit a spread and trying to keep in mind what would please the student body most were only a part of the game. Using new ideas and producing new techniques went in- to the making of the annual. Added features included a name index, academics section and increased the number of pages. The senior poll and a dance were sponsored by the year- book staff. Most of their time was of course devoted to the book itself. Mr. David Coleman sponsored the group which met al- most weekly at school or in homes. In order to be better prepared for producing next year’s annual, the staff arranged for next year’s staff to be selec- ted in the spring so that members could attend a summer yearbook workshop. Mr. David Coleman consults with Becky Allen, associate editor and Pam Mills, edi- tor concerning copy they wrote to illustrate the yearbook’s theme. As executive members of the annual staff, Pam and Becky assumed the role of directing year- book work. Nancy Ferguson, business manager, counts subscription money during the sales campaign. Approximately 450 books were sold. Janis Wilson and Denise Ware complete a yearbook assignment by drawing layouts for a spread in the organizations section. Yearbook staff members, Anita Cave and Beth Porter approach Penny Miller and John Rose, sports editor, for yearbook subscrip- tions during the sales campaign held in October. 42 Tiger Teles tells news as it is Sue Cox, assistant page one editor; Nancy George, page three editor; and Jackie Beckman, page one editor look on as Jane Heflin, advertising staff; and Jeanie Lockamy, car- toonist work on an assignment.

As the major members, they supervise the work of the rest of the staff. Members of Journalism 1 and II meet daily during sixth period. These students do a great deal of writing and re- porting for the school paper, “Tiger Tales.” The purpose of the paper is to provide a communication between the stu- dents and link the school and the community. The staff consists of Journalism students and any material from other students is welcome. Instead of a mimeographed paper, as in the past, this year’s paper is printed by the “Daily Standard.” The first issue came out the week of the Homecoming, and other issues have come out bi-weekly since then. Mr. Wayne Ward, in his first year of teaching at ESHS, is this year’s “Tiger Tales” sponsor.

E-Club members Mike McLaughlin, Tony Southwick, Kenny South- wick and John Edwards pose as cheerleaders m the WHB DJ game. Perhaps the club at ESHS with the most prestige is the E-Club. This organization consists only of boys who have earned an athletic letter in football, basketball, wrestling, or track. When you earn your letter you become eligible to re- ceive a bid and pledge E-Club. Each year this group sponsors a freshman basketball tournament to raise funds for the club and to further inter- est in basketball among the younger players. In addition, this year the E-Club sponsored a battle between our ESHS Faculty and the WHB disc jockeys. During an “Air Raid ’, Larry Swearingen, E-Club pledge, snuggles up to the corner.

Doing your own thing in sports Sports, getting recognition from large crowds, became an initial way of identifying the character of many students. Crowds watched as athletes were brought down by a bone- crushing tackle in football, grimaced as they missed that foul shot in basketball and raced across the finish line in track. What the crowds failed to see were the challenges in football practice, the hours of takedowns put in by wres- tlers, the games of scrimmage basketballers played to im- prove their game and the laps ran by tracksters. Athletes drudged through the loses and gladly chalked up wins. But they always saw room for improvement. This is how the athlete did his own thing. The athlete was motivated by team unity, crowd spirit, the coach’s prodding and self will. His reward came with ap- plause, the satisfaction of doing his best and his letter jack- et, medals, patches and all. Perhaps the hardest part of athletics was the courage to bear defeat without losing heart. 51 Varsity gridders extend record to 43 wins Row 1: Lynn Allan, Joe Ligon,Dick Hotchkiss, Greg Un- ruh, Gary Railey, John Edwards, Bill Allen.

After four undefeated seasons the Tigers suffered their only loss of the season to a strong Marshall squad which went on to take second in the state play-offs. Over the season, the Ti- gers complied a 6-1-2 record and finished second in the con- ference standings. Senior lineman Lynn Allan and Junior Tom Eckersley re- ceived All-Conference, both offense and defense, All-Dis- trict, and Honorable Mention All-State honors.

The 1968-69 varsity season was ended with the Tigers loss to Sedalia Smith-Cotton in the Regional tournament, leaving their record at 11-11. The season opened with the Tigers beating Wentworth in the Conference tournament. The team went on to take sec- ond behind Higginsville. Dick Hotchkiss led the team in scoring with Lynn Allan only one point behind him. The opposition averaged only 47 points a game, which was an all-time low for a Shepard coached team. Junior Larry Johnson established another first for Coach Shepard when he led the team in rebounds by averaging ten rebounds a game. The B-team had a fine season and is expected to furnish some good talent for next year’s varsity. Varsity members that will be returning next year are David Bedford, Pat Gor- sett, Larry Johnson, and Larry Shelor.

Marcell, Ronnie Bradshaw, Butch Wilkins, Will Shepard, The track season began this year on March 3, when the boys began readying themselves for their first meet, the in- door conference meet at Wentworth on March 20. There were seventeen track meets held this year. Some of the schools that the team competed against included Went- worth, Liberty, Higginsville, Cameron, Lawson, Chillicothe, Odessa, Fort Osage, Richmond, and Lexington. Due to the cold weather at the start of the season, the boys were forced to practice indoors. The sprinters, hur- dlers, and jumpers got ready by running stairs, practicing starts and hurdles, and climbing ropes. Distance runners built up their endurance by running cross-country. The boys participating in field events lifted weights. Returning lettermen for this year were John Edwards, Tom Carroll, Greg Unruh, James Wolfe, Denny Matney, Terry Shepard, and Mark Purcell. Returning provisional let- termen were Chris Bills, Rodney O’Dell, Rick Stark, Linzy Teegarden. David McKown, Gary Railey, Pat Gorsett, Steve Parman, David Piburn, Mike Holtzclaw, and Mike Einerson. Track captains for 1969 are John Edwards, Greg Unruh, and Denny Matney. Junior Terry Shepard demonstrates a starting posi- tion. A good start may mean a win no matter how long the race. 1969 track coaching staff includes a new member with Roger Hamilton coaching mile and half mile. Veterans are Roy Smith who coaches shot put and discus; Jack Bum- garner who handles sprinting, hurdling, and jumping; and Jesse Baird, head coach. Exhibiting his hurdling skill is Junior Rodney O’Dell in this before season practice session. Practices started before it was possible to go outdoors, so the hallways of ESHS became a track. 65 Junior Rick Stark grimaces as he comes over the hurdle. Rick is a returning trackman. Sophomore Weader Millentree hurdles as other track members look on.

The more it is played and practiced, the better golfer you become.” The season came to an end with a District Golf meet held at ESHS, and the State Golf meet.

Returning players included; senior, Anita Cave, juniors-Janice Allan, Vickie Barnes, Donna Luke, Beth Porter, Becky Rogers,and Connie Spor. Returning lettermen were; Anita Cave, Janice Allan, and Vickie Barnes. Practices resumed in the spring and the different squads were set up. The A-Team served as the varsity squad, and the B-C-Team served as the varsity squad, Girls were able to challenge other girls higher on the ladder.” Mrs. Jones, the sponsor, created extra enthusiam and spirit in the girls. Mrs. Jones and Janice Allan strive successfully to hit the ball at tennis practice. Varsity Players: Connie Spor, Vickie Barnes, Janice Allan, Sue Shipley, Linda Aldrich, and Mrs. Jones. Personalities doing their own thing. “The company makes the feast.” In school or out of school, students and faculty alike found this true. Each morning students roamed halls greeting and chatting with friends. Teachers stood in groups carrying on their own con- versations. Classes were often interrupted when students found conversation too much of a temptation. The conver- sation usually centered on other people, praising, degrading or understanding them. Whether one spent most of his time with a clique, with one special person or with teammates preparing for a game, everyone showed enjoyment of know- ing and being with others. The sophomore class boasted the largest membership with 198. Juniors ranked second with 180 while seniors tal- lied 142. An addition of ten new students were added to the enrollment throughout the year. Nine new teachers were added to make a staff of 30 fac- ulty members. The high school lost 6 of its teachers the year before. Mr. Garten, who taught business, took on his new position as vocational director and thus still remained as part of the high school faculty. 71 Administration keeps students, faculty in line School Board Members Seated: Dr. Bill Baird, Bill Taylor, Eleanor Griffith.

But now, nine months later, our unaquaintance seems almost impossible. We got to know people when they were under strain at 10:00 at night still racking their brain for an appropriate picture cutline. We got to know people like Kathy Howard, Janice Allan and Susie Hedges who volunteered hours of help when they weren’t even on the staff. We got to know Ellie Wood who practically lived in the darkroom fulfilling endless assignments for pictures. We got to know staff mem- bers like Penny Miller and Janice Wilson who expecially sacrificed study time, sleep and free time. We had our share of good times and bad times that re- sulted from seeing people really doing their own thing. 1 thank Mr. Coleman, advisor, who gave up time with Iris family to assist and encourage us to “get this thing done” and for the freedom he has given in the editing of the book. Credit goes also to Vern Hoyt for his assistance in the photography and to Inter-Collegiate Press for their coopera- tion in the publication of this book.
