Inman High School - Teuton Yearbook (Inman, KS)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1985 volume:

fElje Senior Clastf of 1985 The Seniors Took it to the Top this year with all the things that Seniors do. They posed for Senior pictures in the fall and then held a paper drive, a dance, a soup supper and % agazine sales to earn money for the Senior Trip. But the main highlights were the homecomings, sports, clubs, the spring banquet and prom, days out for college visitations, and finally, late in May, getting out of school a week early for the long awaited sneak. Academics may not have been quite as important as enjoying the senior year to the fullest, but most students strived to achieve good grades. t But graduation finally arrived. As we look back we realize each year has been a stepping stone: we have explored, ’ experienced and matured. A 8 we continue to grow, we will now do so separately, but our| experiences together will be our future strength.

Roth the yearbook and paper staffs sold advertisements, did the combined laynut and paste up, and took, developed, and printed the pictures used in the combined publications. Kay Martens and Sheila Ratzloff edited the annual, while Julie Miller, Scott Friesen and Tony Rurke worked on the basics. Galen Heide and Tammy Hostetler ran the darkroom. The journalism students not only studied newspaper radio and television, but they helped the yearbook staff meet its deadlines and financial obligations. It was hectic but fun.

STUCO started off the 1984-1985 school year with the traditional back-to-school picnic. Then Sep- tember brought a trip to the Sirloin Stockade and an evening of planning for the school year to come. Under the leadership of Galen Heide, STUCO president, Stuco sponsored several assemblies including various artists. It also sponsored Halloween, Christmas, Easter and May Day programs. The year drew to an end with the All-school dance and another special recreation day. Once again, STUCO made the year special. Tell 'em how it is, Dale!

The young offensive line took both pressure and punishment and they were disappointed to lose so many games. But, the year was enjoyable and many mom ents mem orable. Scott Friesen made the District 5 1st team as quarterback and linebacker; he was named All Southwest Kansas Quarterback and honorable mention linebacker. Randy Jenkins made 1st team offensive and defensive end in District 5 and honorable mention in All Southwest Kansas play. Tony Burke was District 5 punter and 2nd team defensive back. Randy Ellis was named 2nd team District 5 defensive -«end.

Dawn Mark, president of the club, moved at semester and Nancy Kliewer took over the office. During the fall, the club took a hayrack ride and held a wiener roast for all club members. With winter came new activities such as painting murals in the hallways and adding new members. The south hall now displays a mythological and historical panorama of events studied in those classes. David Ediger drew the basic plans and the club entered the activity with inovative enthusiasm. Top-Club Officers; David designing a mural; bottom-Club m e m bers-back: N. Kliewer, C • Wiens, J.

And, with the money earned, they purchased new uniforms and shoes. They attended a cheerleading camp in Emporia where they spent many long hours learning new cheers, chants, routines, and mounts.

The brand of '■� 11 played brought people n the girls games that n. frally didn't come. Led by the three sen- ior captains, Peggy Regier, Melody Wiens, and Lisa Kroeker, the team fought hard to win every game. The final record for the season was 9-13, although A of these losses were by 7 points or less. 1984-83 could he labled the season that almost... was. That final game against Moundridge was a THRILLER, long to be remembered. The girls never folded, and hung on to send the game into overtime, before losing by 3 in a heartbreaking loss.

Shades of burgandy and blue decorated the backdrop, comple- mented with a mystical unicorn and the night's theme, When You Love Somebody. Princess Peggy Regier was escorted by Scott Friesen, and Princess Kay Martens by Randy Jenkins. The flowergirl was Ka- ty Hull and the crownbearer, Joshua Boarders. The evening proved to be a successful one for the basket- ball teams as all four notched victories, including the boys with a varsity win of 82 to 56 over the Sedgwick Cardinals.

Front: Raymond Kroker, Duane Brunk, Tony Burke, Kendall Knackstedt, Mart Robertson, It was a disappointing 84-85 basketball season when the Inman boys team tied for last nlace in the MKL. This ynar, they simply couldn't put games together and pull in the wins, Inman closed out this season at Solomon, with a 75-59 loss at Sub-State. The hiqh point of the season was the Burrton pre-season tournament and being ranked in state. Inman captured the championship by winning three straight games. But after that, little went right and Inman finished the season with a record of 6-13. Inman went to State in '83 and '84. It's doub- ly disappointing for the seniors, especially when some of them have college potential, who looked forward to being on top their last year in hiqh school. But the season had it's moments and the under- classmen are already looking forward to winning next year. Randy Ellis leaps through the air for two.

They star- ted out with a I rating at the State Fair and continued pleasing many crowds with their performances at football and basketball games. This was also the year new uniforms were purchased and the crowd was overjoyed at the elegant ap- pearance at the Christmas Concert. Contest ratings reflected the growing enthusiasm. The band received straight I's at League and Regional, but unfortu- nately, did not perform as well at State. Nonetheless, it was a most successful year, marked by an amazing turnaround in enthusiasm, and the disire to achieve with great expectations. The band looks forward to next year.

The Glee received a I at State and the choir a rat- her disappointing II. Compe- tition was high, but a number of vocal entries at contest, including a girls ensemble re- ceived a I at State. Looking back, it was a suc- cessful but very strenuous year in the choral department. Hopefully as the students get better acguainted with the routine, the achievements will continue to occur, and the style of success will become a tradition for years to come.

FHA Enjoys a Busy, Awarding Year The IHS awarded chapter of fifty-six members enjoyed several special occasions and honors. Don- na Rice made District officer as a vice-president of recreations. Randy Jenkins was crowned chap- ter sweety, Julie Regehr attended state camp, and the seniors and freshmen won the Powder-Puff football game. And, FHA week saw over 500 flowers delivered to members to show love and affection. Tammy Hostetler, president, led the club in several new endeavors, including a little sister skating party for grade school students. The fathers were honored at a date night and the mothers merited a special banquet in their honor. The highlight of the year was watching Randy Jenkins dress up in a special costume on Chore Night. Randy took it all in stride as did Tony Burke and Dean Yoder. The club had good representation at State Camp with Julie Regehr attending. Several members also made it to the Cluster meetings in Kansas City, the State Meeting in Wichita, and finally, to the end-of-the-year social. The group helped out at the senior citizen home, at the grade school Easter Egg Hunt, and in 9 m _ - .... the dining room where they decorated the tables for special occasions. The girls were also busy organi- zing Bunny Pals, running concessions to make money and traveling to Wichita for a Christmas shopping spree, and selling Christmas tree decorations, home made, at the Fall Festival.

As eighth graders they learned to know their way around the school and found it to be the same, except for they were a year older. At Fall Festival they sang singing telegrams to peo- ple. Many were involved in sports and Christy Ensz was chosen all-league basket- ball. As the year wore on the freshmen found out that as sophomores the year would bring more exciting adven- tures. CL ASS OF FICE R S: Ann Ridge-Secretary, Laurie W edel-Treasurer, Scott S ■ ile -President , Annie Loo is- Vice President 67 OKLAHOMA Here We Come The Senior Class once again headed for Oklahoma for FUN in the SUN. The seniors piled onto a bus Sunday at noon and finally came home Thursday afternoon for graduation practice. They enjoyed skiing, swimming and canoeing down the Illinois River. Naturally they didn't sleep much—they did that on the bus coming home. Jerry and Shirley Friesen once again took their boat to Fort Leonard Gibson Reservoir and patiently taught beginners to ski. The experienced water skiers just enjoyed the fun. And, of course, everyone a- greed that four days were not nearly long enough. Anticipation is EVERYTHING! 68 CHUCK and COMPANY 69 Twenty-six Graduate Honesty, Optimism, Enthusiasm, Persistence help you reach your goals,” said G. Kent Stewart, commencement speaker from Kansas State University. WE owe this evening to our parents, said senior Julie Miller, because YOU have taught us to believe in ourselves. Salutatorian Roy Loepp dwelt on past school days, and Mel- ody Wiens, Valedictorian, told us that We Have Only Just Begun. With these words twenty-six IHS seniors said farewell to high school life, accepted their diplo- mas, and left to face the world. 70 Top far left: Juniors hold the arch. Top: 1985 Graduation Class.

The class furnished balloons, baskets, balls, and darts as well as candy bar prizes. Proba- bly the most fun was eating the left over candy bar prizes. The students also participated in the Jog-a-thon and did a fantastic job of getting a good start for their class treasury. A film at Christmas followed by refreshments and a Valentine Party with volleyball games and refreshments provided some means of celebra- ting these holidays in the junior high. The final day of school was a field trip to Hutchinson with visits to the Cosmosphere, the Hutchinson News and skating at the Harvest Skate Center.

The team lacked height but not determination as it bat- tled its way to a 4 win - 7 loss season. They lost out in the first round of the Heart of America tournament play, but with maturity and growth, they may well be con- tenders next year. The B team completed the season with 4 wins and 5 los- ses but they have another year in League play before moving on to high school. Under the leadership of N. A, Schmidt, the boys learned strategy and game play. And, more importantly, to function as part of a team.

They achieved way beyond any expectations in BASKETBALL- by winning the Heart of Ameri- ca League Championship the second year in a row. The A girls defeated Pretty Prairie 35-18 for the win rind a 10-2 record, The B girls were 7-2. Volleyball Team: (back) Unruh, Schmidt, Gaeddert, Ediger, Sim mons, Phillips, Hawkinson.

Unfortunately, this is the last year the girls will play soccer. Over the past seven years, the girls were champions five times and their era of soccer ended with a record of 34 wins, 13 losses, and one tie. As the girls advance on to volleyball, we hope the same success will be met. Eleven eighth grade boys completed their soccer season for Inman Junior High. They formed the nucleus of a 23 member squad and did an excellent job all season. Twelve seventh graders performed well for the team and should return for the stability and leadership needed for next year.

The Band and several soloists and groups earned many I ratings. Various band members often helped out the high school by performing in the high school band for special occasions and when high school band members were out for sports and performing on the field and on the courts. 82 Cheerleaders: front- Julie Friesen, June Atkins, Shana Schroeder. back- Valerie Phillips, Penny Penner, Jennifer Walker. Student Achievers Honored For the first time this year, students in Junior High were recognized as academic achievers. Selected by the faculty, stu- dents created a bulletin board showing highlights of their school life showing why they deserved the honor. They and their parents were invited to eat at a special luncheon. Other pictures show members of the 7th- 8th grade classes who won honors in spel- ling and other academic contests through- out the school year. 83 1 9 8 5 T R A C K F O U R S E T Back row: Coach N.A.
