rx! fx 5 M. ,JM-.e I don't believe it-Sister Aquinata Penka explains to Pauline Joyce that her dedication program is different than the rest. The renaming of the Fine Arts Building was kept secret from Joyce. Between friends-Cynde Mustain and Shea Watson enjoy nice weather during Homecoming week. In spite of delays, or perhaps because of them, the spirit of motion and progress gained intensity throughout the first semester. Predictions of an in- creased enrollment were proven correct when the headcount was totaled at 20f7b higher than the fall of 1985. Students from Garden City and the surrounding area as well as such distant states as Florida and California, arrived to compete both academically and athletically. The median age of all students continued to rise over the past ten years to a high of 27.5. With just a glance around campus, in the classrooms and on the playing field, it was easy to see - Broncbusters in motion. In recognition-Pauline Joyce poses in front of the newly named Fine Arts Building. The building was renamed in her honor during August ceremonies. Finishing touches-Susan Ramirez adds the final brush strokes to her painting. Openingff heme VII

Three teams in par- ticular had successful seasons. Coach Duane Werner's wrestlers earned a trip to nationals after hard work and dedication throughout the regular season. By the end of the season the Buster wrestlers were ranked second in the nation. The team came away with five tournament championship wins and a sixth place finish in national competition. Three wrestlers earned All- American status. They were An- thony jefferson, Antione Parker and Ronny Higdon. The men's basketball team also ended the season with an im- pressive conference record. They came away with a perfect home record and an overall record of 26-7. The Busters made it to the playoffs by defeating the Hutchin- son Blue Dragons. They then won their first play-off game against Pratt. The baseball team, under the direction of Head Coach joe Slobko, experienced another suc- cessful season. Their record in- cluded over 30 wins. Although the other teams such as women's basketball, men's and women's tennis, track and golf may not have had their most suc- cessful seasons, they still demonstrated hard work and determination. It was the last year for men's ten- nis and women's softball. The Board of Trustees dropped the two programs, due to a number of reasons. One reason was the demanding workload placed on the coaches, who were involved with other sports and teaching responsibilities.
