YEEHA!!! 21 Drama Class Presents an Afternoon of Comedy The Interview — Job Agnes Grapney, played by Darla Lewis, wants to kill her ex- boss. She’s created Donald, played by Alan Mills, a one-of-a-kind robot, to shoot Joyce Quigley played by Lisa Cressler, during a job interview. It could well be a perfect crime except that Donald has a poor memory, lacks coordination and is insecure, qualities that are all too human. As Agnes savors her long awaited revenge, the audience discovers the horrible Ms. Quigley is young and pretty and, for reasons you’ll never believe, offers Donald the job! 22 The Saga of Katy and The Gamblin' Lady A rollicking rhyme farce of the Old West unfolds in Miss Katy’s saloon. In a fast-paced poker game, with the aid of the bar- maids, Sally, played by Jill Davis and Flo, played by Joan Porsch, along with Aces, played by Mark James and Cactus Jack, played by Mark Karnes, join into the game and lose to a gamblin’ woman by the name of Lou, played by Suzann Ste- phens, who produces one big ace from some secluded place” to win the deed to Katy’s estab- lishment. With the help of an eastern dude, Casper, played by Brad Rich- meier, who’s a rude crude prude, and Little Nell, played by Jill Karnes, and Katy, played by Joan Schieferecke they make their plot to retrieve the business. The morality of expediency is then explored as Nell insists that Black’s not white, and wrong’s not right.” Nell’s plan turns the tables unexpectedly in a surprise ending to rewin the deed to Katy’s marvel- ous saloon. 23 The Life O' the Party This one act farce revolves around Betty Lou Maxwell, played by Anne Carman, who is having her first party. She wants it to be a great success, so she doesn’t invite her brother Wilber, played by Pat Ostmeyer, which is much against his constitution. But when his older sister, Connie, played by Barb Wikoft, asked him to help tragedy occurs. He has to pour the car- bonated water into the punch and then take his father, played by Leroy Rietcheck, the bottle of sleeping medi- cine. But a very dis- gruntled Wilber absent-mindedly pours the sleeping medicine into the punch and carts the carbonated water up to his dad. From then on it’s one great big holocaust of confusion, as a very bewildered and shocked mother, played by Deb Scham- berger, and Betty Lou watch her guests drop off to sleep one by one. The party guests are Bernadine played by Jill Karnes, Sharon Brookshire as Mary, Coleen Foster as Judy, Mark James as Jack, Paul Campbell as Bob, Scott Wente as Cliff, and Brad Richmeier as Frank. A.

Bev Appel- hans (F.H.A.) gave opening remarks and yearly reports on each club to start the 1980 spring tea Then as Scarlett O'Hara, played by Sharon Spressor, flounced onto the stage, the audience was swept back into the era of southern belles and large plantations. As the tune Dixie'' played by accompanist Shelley Non- dorf, drifted across the stage, the audience forgot they were in the 20th cen- tury. Narrator Dale Breit dis- cussed different fashions through the centuries as each era was presented by both club members.

Coach Deines commented, “We had the same skills and abilities as anyone else in the league, but we didn't have the size. I don’t think every girl on the team realized how much of a commitment each one must make to have a suc- cessful team. One of the hardest things for a coach to confront is apa- thy. There are a lot of ath- letes with all of the ability they would ever need, but when they really don’t care — how do you coach them to be win- ners?” Shelly Oelke was top varsity server with 88% completion, Bev Appei- hans completed 93% on B-team, and freshmen Lorna Coulter, Janet Zer- fas, and Irene Stillwell served 100%. Joan Schieferecke was Most Inspirational Player, and Linda Gilbert was the MVP. Polly Stallings was chosen as an All League Team alternate. Front row freshmen: Irene Stillwell. Cindy Munk.

Staff Loses One Member John Schaffer John Schaffer’s hearty laughter will always be remem- bered by us. He had served as radio bus operator for several years until his unex- pected death on December 19, 1979. We as students greatly appreciated his smile and happy personality. He always seemed to have a joke or funny story to cheer up a gloomy day. This special tribute is simply a way of saying we’ll miss those smiles here at Hoxie High. The staff did their share to help make 1980 a suc- cessful school year. The cooks kept the whole tribe of H.H.S. Indians fed with hot meals and spe- cial treats on holidays. Dietitian Norma Acker- man planned all the meals. Juliana Haffner, Angie Newman, Rosalie Heier, and Joyce Gal- lagher also worked very hard as cooks.

Rodney enjoyed many hobbies including hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed drawing, carving, and other artistic endeavors. While in school. Rodney participated in sports, and also drama in which he received two gold medals in state competition. Rodney had one talent, however, that could not be measured by awards or medals. He had the abil- ity to make people laugh. He could coax a smile from the most sober person and was always making someone laugh with his witty remarks. It will be the smiles and laughter that will be missed most by all the people who knew and loved him. To Rodney Your life on earth is over but I pray that a new one has just begun A new life that will begin With the rising of the sun The hate and injustice of this Life will cease To be replaced by love, good Will, and peace The fears of this world will Cease to remain And there will be no more suffering Or pain I pray God will take you to this Place of holy rest Where with His love you will Be blessed And I pray each of us will Live a life pleasing in His sight So we will meet again in God's Heavenly light. by a classmate In Memory of Rodney Mauck 106 Graduation: A Big Step Forward 'We live in the present, so that we may be ready for the future. was the motto of the 49 seniors that graduated on Friday.
