As everyone will remember this year was tough on all people Involved In the running of Inman High School. We almost always think of teachers and other staff members as the ones who work behind the scenes to keep the school going, but this year much additional responsibil- ity fell on the School Board and the additional challenge brought very little deserved recogni- tion. This year the Board held many extra meet- ings: they kept the school going In the middle of the year when we were short on administration, they allowed the Juniors to have prom at the Holldome In Hutchinson, and they made the de- cision to remodel much of the school for next year. Some decisions were very Important. These Included hiring teachers, making a bud- get. allotlng money for athletics and other ac- tivities. and deciding how long vacations will last and when we will have school. It Is obvious, then, that part of the reason the school ran so smoothly during this difficult year was due to the hard work put In by these dedi- cated Board members. 9 4 Superintendent Gary Price found himself with no administration and many extra duties In the middle of the school year. He not only found time to handle the 12 additional duties, but he handled them well.

By day they were and are Juat kids like any other kids In school — going to classes, gossiping, cutting down lunch — Just typical kids. But when It comes to athletics, they're the kids we all come to depend on. All coaches spoke on this as they recognized each and every athlete In Inman. They discussed Individual achievements and team efforts, they mentioned accomplishments and disappointments, goals that were achieved or nearly missed. They also said farewell to the seniors. Both 1-Club and Pep Club did a super Job sponsoring the athletic banquet. New decorations by Darcel Frlesen and Mrs. Swanson were excellent as was the speaker. Merle “Bones”Nay, State F.C.A. Director. All parents of the athletes brought food and Eddie's Bake n' Serve furnished the rolls. Nay’s speech was on honesty, trust, and togetherness. He also related some funny stories about his younger days and his coaching career. The food was good and the evening was enjoyable but underclass- men were already planning for summer camps, weight room exer- cising. and next year’s season. It won’t be the same without this year’s seniors— but It will be great anyway. Top left: Student teacher Jim Stacy and Jeff Frlesen loading their plates at the Athletic Banquet.
